The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 392 The mastermind behind the scenes
"Who are you?" High Priest Gregory narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

He looked at Ryan and found that the other party had the aura of a second-level liquefaction wizard, and he felt relieved.

Obviously, the situation before him was a little beyond his expectations.

The expected scene of the wizards stationed by the Bishu Construction School and the Hellfire Rock Giants suffering losses on both sides did not occur.

Judging from the traces of battle at the scene, the wizards of the school stationed this time are quite powerful.

The other Black Flame monks were on alert and surrounded Ryan.

"You used this thing to attract the Hellfire Rock Giant to attack?"

Ryan did not answer the other party. He had a keen sense and immediately noticed that beside the black-robed man in the lead, there was a black-robed monk holding a special box in his hand.

It seemed that this box had some kind of isolating effect, but Ryan could still feel the faint scorching radiation emanating from it.

At this time, Deputy Sect Leader Bradley, leading several of the school's most elite witches, appeared on the other side of the Black Flame Monks. The movement of the huge obsidian war golem immediately diverted Gregory's attention.

"Oh? A war golem and a wizard in the early stages of crystallization?"

"Compared to the Construction School, this is really interesting. I remember that you are only a medium-sized school, right? Is this your confidence?" Gregory said with a sneer on his face when he saw this scene.

He finally understood why the young man in front of him was so calm.

It turned out that a third-level crystal wizard and a war golem were ambushed here.

But... in his opinion, this was quite funny.

Maybe the other party hasn't figured it out yet. Even between level three crystallized wizards, the gap is huge.

"The Black Flame Cult!" Bradley exclaimed with an ugly look on his face.

When he saw this group of people in black robes, he sensed their origins from their clothes and aura.

The other party was from the Black Flame Cult, one of the churches of the evil god. The black-robed man leading the cult had a deep aura and was clearly stronger than him.

This made Bradley feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

You should know that in the previous battle in the imperial capital, there was an incarnation of Rune, the god of hunting, who was worshipped by the Black Flame Cult. Although the opponent was repelled, he still killed a dragon knight of the empire on the spot.

At this time, in a hidden room inside the camp.

When the wizards of the school saw this scene, they began to discuss in low voices.

"It turns out that there really is someone behind the scenes!"

"It turned out to be those guys from the Black Flame Cult!"

“I didn’t expect that the other party could actually discover this secret place.”

"Damn it, I thought Rachel died in an accident last time, but now it seems that she actually died indirectly at the hands of these people."

A male wizard whose couple died in the last attack glared at the Black Flame Monks, as if he wanted to rush out and fight them.

"Don't be impulsive! The other party is very strong, especially the leader, who seems to be a strong man in the late stage of level three crystallization. I guess even Lord Bradley may not be his opponent."

Hearing this, Alicia and Audrey looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

A wizard in the late stage of third-level crystallization?
Although he is a top figure in any school or church, he is still not good enough in front of Lord Ryan.

But they realized that Ryan didn't seem to want to expose his identity to everyone.

Therefore, the two women could only think about it in their hearts at this moment, but could not say anything to comfort him.

Paul on the side couldn't help but muttered:

"With that person here, you can rest assured!"

"Damn, I'm the only one who has something to do!"

A wizard nearby seemed to have heard Paul's mumbling and asked in surprise:
"Ok?"

"Paul, do you know this mysterious Excellency?"

As he asked this, the other party thought to himself, he is indeed a direct descendant of the Duke's family in the imperial capital, and he has a deep background.

Just as Paul was about to speak, he suddenly looked up and saw the two women looking at him. His face immediately turned pale and he said to the wizard:

"I don't know him, but he should be an important figure appointed by the school. He must be able to deal with these Black Flame monks in front of us."

"Do not worry!"

Although the wizard couldn't understand why Paul was so sure even though he didn't know him, he nodded after listening.

After all, Paul wouldn't say such things carelessly.

At this time, Paul, like a student who had made a mistake, took the initiative to come to the two girls, without any arrogance of a genius in the school, and whispered to the two girls:

"Senior Alicia, Audrey, please have a good talk with Lord Ryan. I really didn't mean it just now."

"After all, there were so many evil fire elements at once, and I instinctively thought that I couldn't defeat them, so I had to run away."

Audrey was fine with seeing Paul being so humble, but Alicia felt very comfortable at this moment.

In the center of the camp.

"If you voluntarily hand over the contents of that box and surrender, perhaps I can consider not killing you." Ryan waved his hand, interrupting Gregory's speech.

Naturally, these words caused a group of Black Flame monks to glare at Ryan!

However, seeing Ryan's calm tone, Gregory somehow had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Who are you?" Gregory narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"You may not have heard of my name, but after all, I am also an old friend of your Black Flame Cult." Seeing that the other party was so persistent in asking who he was, Ryan thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Let me think."

"I was the one who sent the archpriest of your province of Munster, Exter, and the archpriest of your province of Marne, Ericson, back to the embrace of your god of the hunt."

"What! I know you, you are Ryan!" A Black Flame monk's eyes widened, and he looked at Ryan with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and said tremblingly.

Because he had just been transferred from the Marne Province, he naturally knew how his boss's boss died.

And in Gregory's heart, it was as if ten thousand wildebeests were trampling through it!

Damn it!
He just came here on a whim to lead a team to complete a small task of collecting Hellfire Crystals, but he unexpectedly met this guy Ryan.

As a high-ranking member of the guild at the level of Grand Priest, he knew Ryan's battle record too well.

In addition to his own church, he also heard that there had been a lot of conflicts between the other party and the Poseidon Church recently, and it was said that many well-known Poseidon Church strongmen had been killed in succession.

This made Gregory look at Ryan in front of him and feel caught in a dilemma for a moment, as if he was in a dilemma!
If you fight, you will most likely lose.

If we don't fight, the team will lose all momentum and will also lose.

But Gregory, after all, was a high-ranking high priest of the Black Flame Cult, a powerful crystallized wizard. After a slight hesitation, he instead aroused his courage to give it a try. He shouted angrily:
"Everyone, attack!"

Following Gregory's order, the surrounding Black Flame Monks raised their hands and released a black flame fireball towards Ryan.

In an instant, dense black flame fireballs bombarded Ryan like a storm.

"Boom boom boom!"

As dense explosions sounded, an intact figure with a metallic luster suddenly jumped out from the dust!

It was Ryan who cast the second level of "Iron Armor Technique".

In an instant, he arrived in front of a second-level sorcerer who had just come to his senses.

As the lightning-fast punch was delivered, the opponent had no time to cast more powerful spells or other defensive measures, and could only instinctively release his innate spell 'Shadow Shield'.

At the moment when a black shield appeared on his body, Ryan's heavy punch also hit him.

"Hey!"

The innate sorcery 'Shadow Shield' is broken!
The opponent's black energy shield was instantly broken by Ryan like a bubble. Then, his fist went straight in and hit the opponent's soft abdomen heavily!
"Bang!!"

All of a sudden, a bowl-sized bump appeared on the back of this second-level sorcerer. His eyes bulged like goldfish's watery eyes, almost popping out of their sockets. He looked like he was hit by a wild bull, and flew twenty or thirty meters away in an instant!
"boom!!!"

The opponent was directly embedded into the rock wall on one side of the Raging Flame Canyon.

At this moment, a huge crack radiating like a spider web appeared on the surface of the hard rock wall, with the other party's body as the center!
“Ugh~~~Ugh~~~”

I saw the other person vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, unable to utter a word, and he stammered twice before dying!
The power of one punch is so terrifying!
It killed a second-level sorcerer directly!

But that's just the beginning.

Just when the other Black Flame monks felt as if their hearts were falling into an icy cellar, they saw Ryan's figure like a silver lightning, moving back and forth in the venue, drawing one silver line after another.

Every flash of silver line represents the death of a Black Flame Monk.

"Slowness!"

"Weakness Technique!"

"Imprisonment!"

I saw a bunch of negative energy witchcraft blasting towards Ryan.

After all, everyone knew that if Ryan's speed was not restricted, they would be completely unable to resist him.

Except for the innate witchcraft and the granted evil magic, other powerful witchcrafts require time to chant. However, according to the opponent's extraordinary speed, a two or three second spell can kill several people.

"Gravity field!"

Following Gregor's angry roar, a ball of black and gray energy instantly radiated out in all directions with him as the center.

For a moment, gravity in an area with a diameter of about forty to fifty meters was greatly distorted, and everyone, including Ryan, the Obsidian War Golem, and others, were affected.

Ryan's speed also changed from as fast as a rabbit to as slow as a turtle.

This made the four or five Black Flame monks who had luckily survived feel greatly relieved. They secretly sighed that fortunately their high priest's signature witchcraft, 'gravity field', was still extremely powerful.

The third-level earth magic 'Gravity Field' is quite difficult to practice and requires a lot of time and energy, and most importantly, talent.

However, once successfully practiced, the power is quite amazing and can completely determine the outcome of a small local battle.

"Attack now!" Gregory yelled.

This made the surviving Black Flame monks react immediately, and they hurriedly began to chant spells and cast spells. "Oh? Do you think my movements are restricted?" Ryan thought for a moment and decided not to choose to transform to solve the current gravity field.

"In that case, let's solve it with witchcraft." Facing this scene, Ryan smiled slightly.

I saw his lips move quickly a few times, and a low voice came out:

"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Cutting Web!"

"Sharp Technique!"

"Witchcraft Killer Move: Multiple Web Cutting!"

Three huge bright silver nets suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Shh!"

As he stretched out his hand and waved it forward, three giant silver nets blasted towards the three Black Flame Monks who were gathered together!

Since these three Black Flame monks were in the process of casting a spell, if they stopped halfway, they would suffer severe backlash from the witchcraft. So, facing Ryan's almost instantaneous witchcraft attack, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But in just this brief moment of hesitation, three giant silver nets passed through his body!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The three Black Flame Monks who were originally standing and casting spells still had expressions of fear and disbelief on their faces, but soon, crisscrossing blood lines appeared on their pale faces.

"Wow!"

All of a sudden, the three of them turned into three piles of rotten flesh mixed with blood!
Gregory's eyes twitched when he saw this scene!
Not only is he strong in close combat, but the speed and power of his witchcraft attacks are also astonishing.

Gregory, knowing that the situation was hopeless, and his deputy who was holding a wooden box beside him said hurriedly, "Quick, let's split up!"

However, before his deputy could agree, a metal cage suddenly appeared and covered him.

Immediately afterwards, three more giant silver nets flashed by!
His deputy and the metal cage were cut into pieces.

This made Gregory feel a chill in his heart. He knew that he was facing the biggest crisis in his life. If he failed to handle it well, he would follow in the footsteps of the two high priests of Münster and Marne!

"It seems that this is the only trick I can use!"

He rushed forward, grabbed the wooden box that his subordinate had dropped on the ground, opened it quickly, took out a red crystal stone the size of a baby's head, and held it tightly in his hand.

The crystal was merely exposed to the air, and immediately, a burning sensation filled the entire place.

When Deputy Sect Leader Bradley saw the red crystal, his face changed drastically and he said in a lost voice:
"Is this the Abyss Fire Crystal?!"

"You actually have this thing, no wonder you can attract so many Hellfire Rock Giants."

But before Bradley could finish his words, Gregory's aura surged, and he stretched out his hands. A large ball of black flame energy passed through his palms and was suddenly injected into the red crystal!
In an instant, the scarlet crystal began to float in the air like a living thing.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if the first atom of nuclear fission was triggered.

Several scarlet fire snakes suddenly burst out from the crystal and quickly grew larger.

The fire snakes went from being as thick as a bowl to being thicker than a waist in an instant. They rushed into the air and drew a curve like a knot before returning to the crystal.

After a few seconds, more and more fire snakes appeared, like pieces of red cloth, piecing together to form a several-meter-high flaming giant that appeared in front of everyone.

"Who is it? Who awakened the great Infernus!" A rough and low voice sounded.

At the same time, an extremely strong pressure began to sweep across the entire venue!
The wizards of the school who have not reached the second-level liquefaction level feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts at this moment!
Damn it!

What on earth did the other party summon? !

"Oh no! The other party is resurrecting the Abyss Fire Rock Giant!" When Bradley saw this scene, he suddenly remembered a description in ancient books and immediately realized something.

"Quick! Stop him!"

Abyss Fire Rock Giant?
Ryan watched this scene with flickering eyes.

The wizards of the school cast various spells at the abyss fire rock giant that had just appeared, but most of the spells were vaporized by the evil fire energy within three meters of the opponent's body.

Only the magic cast by Bradley, the crystallized wizard, could barely attack the opponent's body surface, but it was like tickling and failed to cause much substantial damage.

"Hehe, it's too late!" Gregory, who was hunched over and had a haggard face, laughed triumphantly when he saw this scene.

Although, he had just consumed almost all of his energy, and even some of his vitality, to awaken the Abyss Fire Crystal.

But it is obviously worth paying such a high price.

The combat power of the Abyss Fire Rock Giant is even stronger than he imagined!
At this time, the abyss fire giant who had just claimed to be Infernus seemed to have regained more consciousness. He looked down at himself, then looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"My body is not complete"

As soon as it stretched out its hand, several light green boulders flew towards it rapidly as if pulled by some special gravity.

The piles of light green Hellfire rock giant wreckage around also began to vibrate.

All of a sudden, hundreds and thousands of light green boulders gathered towards it like moths to a flame!

A few seconds later, a huge rock giant, over twelve meters tall and burning with red flames, appeared in front of everyone.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"This is the Abyss Fire Rock Giant, the leader of the Hell Fire Rock Giants!"

"It is also an epic creature from Baator Hell. However, since its body is made up of Hellfire debris, its strength should be greatly reduced. But it should at least be at the peak of Legendary strength!"

Bradley said with a very grim look.

The Obsidian War Golem was also brought to its full potential by Bradley.

The crystal core inside the golem began to operate at full capacity, and its dark surface began to be covered with a thick layer of "stone skin" that flickered with yellow witchcraft light.

Immediately, it strode towards the abyss fire rock giant named Infernus.

"Boom boom boom!"

Every step was accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground!
"Concussion!" Bradley shouted.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Obsidian War Golem, with its two giant fists like hammers, violently threw more than ten quick and heavy punches at the opponent!

For a moment, the debris on the body of Abyss Fire splashed everywhere!
But the next second, a huge stone fist hit the Obsidian War Golem, knocking it away immediately.

The size difference between the two is too big, over seven meters versus over twelve meters, it's almost like a monkey against Tyson.

The part of the Obsidian War Golem that had just been hit showed obvious signs of breaking and burning.

This further proves that the opponent cannot withstand several heavy blows from the Abyss Fire!
For a moment, the hopeful eyes of the school's wizards, including Bradley, were focused on Ryan.

At this moment, the two women began to worry for the first time. After all, the big guy in front of them was probably as strong as the strongest legendary "Sculptor" Harold, and he was even more tough and thick-skinned.

It remains unknown whether Lord Ryan can defeat the opponent.

"Haha, even if you are Ryan, you can only escape this time!" After paying a huge price, Gregory thought he had gained an absolute advantage, and he laughed like a madman.

"Ren?"

"I seem to have heard of this name." Many wizards from different schools looked puzzled, as if they had heard of this name before.

"Ah~" Ryan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his identity had been revealed by the high priest of the Black Flame Cult in front of him.

In this case, there is nothing to hide about the transformation.

Suddenly, Ryan's body began to swell rapidly like a balloon, his skin turned dark gray, and dragon scales appeared!

The skin on the back suddenly burst open, and a pair of flesh wings grew out of it.
A few seconds later, a huge monster appeared in front of everyone.

There are three curved horns on the top of its head, and a thick and powerful tail on its caudal vertebrae. Its body is even taller than the abyss fire rock giant.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Bradley, was stunned!

But before everyone could react, they saw Ryan, in the form of the Dragon King, rushing towards the Abyss Fire.

At the same time, Ryan activated the core skill 'Weakness Control' of the epic profession 'King of Thousand Blades'.

In an instant, a three-dimensional image of the defense strength marked with blue, yellow and red dots appeared on the Abyss Fire in front of him.

The bright red part of the opponent was actually the crystal in the center of his chest!

"Roar!"

Facing the attacking Ren, Abyssfire angrily threw a rock punch.

But Ryan suddenly accelerated, and his huge dragon claws, like a poisonous snake, pierced into the center of the opponent's chest and took out the red crystal that was still beating like a heart.

At this moment, Abyss Fire's punch was still half a meter away from Ryan.

"Not great Infernus. He has just awakened."

As a low and unwilling voice sounded, the pieced-together abyss fire fell to the ground like a collapsed building!

"This, this." Gregory stared at the scene in a daze, not knowing what to say.

He spent such a huge price to summon this killer weapon, but it was so vulnerable in front of Ryan!
All the wizards of the school present, including Alicia, Audrey and even Paul who were hiding in the room, were staring at the scene in front of them in amazement!

After all, hearing about something is not as good as seeing it in person!
"too strong!"

"Too strong!" Paul muttered to himself.

With such strength, it’s no wonder that he was able to kill Harold, the ‘Sculptor’ who was known as the strongest legend.

And Ryan, who was in the center of the venue, returned to his human form.

At this moment, he weighed the red crystal he had just obtained - the Abyss Fire Crystal, and was in a very good mood.

Originally, he wanted to come to the Flame Canyon to find a few Hellfire Crystals while helping his mentor Mogaro solve his problems.

Unexpectedly, not only did he get more Hellfire Crystals than expected, but he also got an extra Abyss Fire Crystal.

Judging from the momentum that the opponent just burst out, this is equivalent to the Batto Hell creature of the Dawn Wizard, that is, an alien creature crystal with epic combat power.

It was enough for him to study the golem, and even more than enough.
