Chapter 217: The Curse Master (Two Chapters in One)

At this time, Ryan suddenly thought of a question, and he turned his head to Veronica beside him and asked:

"Miss Veronica, are the witchcrafts performed by the two members of the Fish Dragon Team just now all from the special item exchange list of the Navy?"

"Yes, Mr. Ryan, these two should be wizard apprentices trained by the Imperial Navy. They are quite different from school wizards like me who follow mentors. Their witchcrafts are all exchanged from the special item list."

Veronica recalled the impression the two people just gave her and said with certainty.

"In other words, if they have task evaluation medals plus merit points, they can exchange for the witchcraft model they want." Ryan asked again.

"Yes, that's right." Veronica answered immediately.

"The witchcraft used by the archer named Trevor just now, I heard you say it was 'sharp magic', this should be metal witchcraft, right?" Ryan felt the mysterious silver side energy particle fluctuations at that time.

"Your perception is very sharp, Lord Ryan, it is indeed the metal-based 'Sharpness', but unfortunately, I don't know this witchcraft." Veronica said with a little regret.

Just now, she thought that if she had mastered this 'Sharpness', she would have been able to release and bless Lord Ryan's weapon in the previous battle between Ryan and Volod.

So, Veronica decided that after returning, she would ask her mentor Master Enius to see if she could learn this 'Sharpness'.

Although she is not metal-friendly, it does not hinder her learning, but the effect is slightly worse.

But once she learns it, she can give Lord Ryan a good damage blessing in battle.

Ryan nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

Since you join the special department of the Imperial Navy, 'Tide Walkers', you can exchange for the metal-based witchcraft 'Sharpness' by completing special tasks.

Then once you join the more powerful Imperial 'Sword Bearer' organization, you will definitely be able to exchange for more metal-based witchcraft.

Joining the Empire's 'Sword Bearer' organization is related to the improvement of one's subsequent strength!

It seems that I have to prepare well, and perhaps I should ask someone about the relevant situation of the 'Sword Bearer' assessment.

Just as everyone walked out of the training room, suddenly, a burst of violent shouting came faintly from the sky far away!

When the sound reached everyone's ears, it was already very small, but it was clearly a human voice.

It seems that because this violent shout was extremely condensed, although it was transmitted over a long distance, everyone present could still hear it clearly.

Suddenly, everyone, including Ryan, looked up in the direction where the sound came from.

That direction is the direction of the sea.

The key is that everyone is familiar with this voice. This sound like the friction of rocks is the voice of Baron, the captain of the Fish Dragon Team, and he can feel that Baron should be very angry at this time.

The other people present immediately looked at each other, and their faces changed.

Obviously, the Fish Dragon Team has encountered a strong enemy.

And judging from the direction and distance of the sound, it should be in the offshore waters, not far from their fishing port town.

At this time, the eyes of several people were once again focused on Ryan, not only because Ryan was the governor of the fishing port town, but also because he was the strongest among the people present.

"Sir Ryan, we..." Major Marika looked worried, but she didn't continue to speak because she suddenly thought of a problem.

She originally wanted to propose to rescue the Yulong team.

But she soon realized a problem, that is, as a member of the Navy's special combat department, the Yulong team felt that the enemy was difficult at the moment, so, did she really have the ability to rescue?

Perhaps, from a safety perspective, her first choice should be to retreat, not rescue.

However, Ryan did not hesitate too much. He just thought for a while and said, "Miss Veronica, please ask your white seagull to immediately conduct a high-altitude reconnaissance over there."

"In addition, time is tight, so I will go there first."

"Wait, Sir Ryan, I will go with you."

Veronica was not afraid at all, but was slightly excited. As if she thought of fighting side by side with Ryan again, her twin ponytails swung vigorously, and at the same time, her fair cheeks became more rosy.

Faced with Veronica's initiative, Ryan thought about it and agreed.

After all, it would be very good to have a third-level wizard apprentice to provide assistance.

"Colonel Marika, you and the Lehman brothers will organize defense in the fishing port town. Once you need to evacuate, Miss Veronica's white seagull will notify you in advance."

"Yes, Baron!" The Lehman brothers answered neatly. For them, they just need to execute Ryan's orders.

"Well, Sir Ryan, please be sure to pay attention to your safety." Major Marika agreed, but she looked worried.

However, Marika understood that she was just a civilian staff member of the Navy. Even if she was worried, she should listen to Ryan and Veronica who had more say on how to fight.

When Ryan and Veronica boarded the boat, the white seagulls that went to investigate had already fallen from the sky.

After Veronica stared at the white seagulls for a few seconds, her originally rosy face suddenly turned a little pale, and said: "Sir Ryan, the Ichthyosaur Squadron is now fighting with three large sea beasts!"

"In addition, judging from the description of the white seagull, it seems that there are people behind these sea beasts."

"Huh? Someone is actually controlling it." Renn couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The combination of large sea beasts and humans has incredible combat power.

At this time, a white albatross with a wingspan of several meters flew in from a distance at high speed. After seeing Veronica, the other party immediately circled and landed.

Ren had seen this albatross, which was the pet of a member of the Ichthyosaurus team.

Soon, more detailed information came from Albatross.

"Your Excellency Ren, here is news from the Ichthyosaurus Squadron. They were blocked by a special combat squad from the Eagle Federation."

"Captain Baron, let us organize the evacuation of Fishing Port Town immediately. They won't be able to resist for long."

"Eagle Federation?" Renn couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know that this is the territory of the Empire. Could it be said that the Eagle Federation is going to war with the Empire? "

"Yes, Sir Ren, we..." The pretty face of the girl with twin ponytails was worried and excited at the same time.

After thinking about it, Ren turned his head and smiled at the girl with twin tails, and said, "Miss Veronica, are you scared?"

"Of course not! I feel safe with Mr. Ren."

When she said this, the girl's eyes were bright.

"Then let's set off! Let White Seagull contact Major Malika and ask them to organize the personnel to retreat first."

"As for the Eagle Federation's special combat team, I'm very interested."

"Yeah!" When the girl with twin ponytails saw that Ren was still planning to go, she couldn't help clenching her pink fists and looking excited.

Ren glanced at the girl and couldn't help but laugh.

Veronica gave him the impression that she was the kind of pretty girl from her previous life who was good at playing games and loved playing games. She was addicted but not very skilled.

It's more difficult to get high points.

After thinking for a while, Ren focused his attention on the system panel.

Since he has to face a possible strong enemy, there is no need to keep his two skill points.

A giant sea beast?

Of course, you can't add points to Kadar boxing. Facing such large or even super-large sea beasts, only two-handed weapons can cause enough damage.

After thinking about it for a while, Ren decided to add some Tokkar Hammer Technique.

Although the Dire Bear Swordsmanship now has the blessing of the Weapon Master (Legendary) exclusive talent ‘Basic Weapon Mastery (Passive)’, it is a little more powerful.

But in comparison, the pig-headed hammer has the blessing of "Hammer Specialization lv3", and Tokkar's hammer technique is still his most lethal extraordinary combat skill.

As a result, as the remaining skill points increased from 2 to 1, Tokkal Hammer Technique moved from lv10 to lv11.

In an instant, a majestic hammer training memory poured into Renn's mind.

After some absorption and digestion, this memory gradually integrated into the muscles of the whole body and formed muscle memory.

But Renn has a feeling that the points added this time are a little different from before.

Vaguely, his hammering skills seemed to break through a thin piece of paper, and he had some different insights into Tokkar's hammering skills.

In particular, the original secret skill 'Rising Dragon Hammer' is more closely integrated with the use of one's own force.

When Ren came back to his senses, he found that two system prompts suddenly appeared:

[Congratulations, your exclusive secret skill of Tokkal Hammer Technique, ‘Rising Dragon Hammer’, has been promoted to the quasi-mysterious ‘Rising Dragon Hammer’! 】

[After being promoted to quasi-mystery, do you/do you want to change the skill name? 】

Quasi-esoteric truth?

Immediately, Ren was delighted and surprised. On the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel, the icon of the secret skill 'Dragon Hammer' that was originally located above the 'Tokkal Hammer Technique' changed slightly.

The strong man who twisted his body and waved a two-handed sledgehammer from bottom to top became more powerful and majestic at this moment. At the same time, some kind of airflow-like ripples appeared on both sides of the sledgehammer, which looked lifelike and unusually strong. fierce.

At the bottom right of the icon, there is a line of small words:

Rising Dragon Hammer (quasi-esoteric) effect: Combined with the Force, use a special way of exerting force, swing the hammer from bottom to top, and strike a blow that combines the force of the Force and rotation.

(Note: Quasi-mysteries cannot be directly improved through skill points.)

(Note: The power of the quasi-mystery is positively related to the following: 1. Tokkar's hammer skill level; 2. Force value; 3. Hammer specialization level; 4. Strength value.)

As for changing the name, Ren thought about it and chose no.

It's just a quasi-esoteric meaning, so there's no need to change it to a fancy name. Secondly, the Shenglong Hammer sounds quite pleasant, so there's no need to bother renaming it first.

Obviously, after the secret skill is promoted to a quasi-mystery, its power must be increased.

As for the extent of the improvement, you have to try it to know.

In addition, Ren looked at the second comment thoughtfully and said, 'The power of the quasi-mystery is positively related to the following: 1. Tokkal hammer skill level.'

Since the power has been further improved, if you still have some skill points, just add them to it!

After all, my secret hammer technique is more than just one move.

So soon, Renn made up his mind.

As the remaining skill points go from 1 to 0, Tokkal Hammer Technique has stepped from lv11 to lv12.

In an instant, another majestic hammer training memory flooded into Ren's mind.

When Ren came back to his senses, two system prompts came quietly:

[Congratulations, your exclusive secret skill of Tokkal Hammer Technique, ‘Earth Cracking Hammer’, has been promoted to the quasi-mysterious ‘Earth Cracking Hammer’! 】

[After being promoted to quasi-mystery, do you/do you want to change the skill name? 】

Sure enough, Ryan was on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, and the secret skill ‘Earth-shattering Hammer’ icon that was originally located above ‘Tokkar Hammer’ had changed slightly.

The sturdy man who held up a two-handed hammer and slammed the ground from top to bottom became more burly at this moment. At the same time, in front of the hammer, a fan-shaped shattered area appeared above the ground, and the rubble of different sizes floated above the ground, which looked extremely powerful.

There was a line of small words at the bottom right of the icon:

Effect of Earth-shattering Hammer (quasi-secret) : Combined with the Force, using a special way of exerting strength, swinging the heavy hammer from top to bottom, hitting the ground, and hitting a blow with multiple shock forces.

(Note: Quasi-secret cannot be directly improved through skill points.)

(Note: The power of Quasi-secret is positively correlated with the following: 1. Tokkar Hammer skill level; 2. Force value; 3. Hammer specialization level; 4. Strength value.)

Similarly, Ryan did not choose to change the name of the skill, and it was still named Earth-shattering Hammer.

After both hammer techniques were promoted to quasi-secrets, he could clearly feel that his understanding of hammer techniques had improved again, and it seemed that he was not far from truly mastering the secrets.

Unfortunately, he currently had no remaining skill points.

However, this made Ryan look forward to the upcoming battle.

One was to test the power of the quasi-secrets, and the other, of course, was the experience value reward after the battle.

Veronica, who was on the side of the ship, looked at Ryan, who was originally in deep thought, and suddenly smiled slightly. That expression seemed to reveal a kind of eagerness to try.

This made Veronica stunned.

Facing the battle, there was no fear, but rather a yearning?

Sir Ryan really has the potential that is necessary for a top powerhouse.

When the two rushed to the scene, they saw from a distance that four small and one large, five huge red and white striped snake-shaped sea beasts, were surrounding and attacking the ichthyosaur team on the coral reef.

Even the small serpentine sea beast, the height of the part exposed above the sea surface is more than three meters, and the big one is as high as five meters!

There is a circle of spikes on the lower edge of the head and neck of the serpentine sea beast, and there is a layer of stretched film between the spikes, giving people the feeling that the snake head is covered with an umbrella.

"This is a thorny sea snake!"

"The venom of the thorny sea snake is highly toxic, and at the same time, its melee ability is also very strong, and its comprehensive strength is not inferior to that of the great knight."

"As for the giant thorny sea snake." Veronica said quickly.

After so many battles, Ryan only took a few glances and took the whole battle situation into his eyes.

If the Fish Dragon Squad is formed with the captain Baron, the peak great knight, as the core of the battle, then the other side is just the opposite.

The other side seems to be a battle team formed with a formal wizard as the core. The remaining four people on the other side are all great knights. One of them holds a sword and shield to protect the other side, and the other three hold various weapons to control the serpentine sea beast to besiege Baron.

The other side's serpentine sea beasts have the ability to spit venom and strong melee attack capabilities.

From the combination, it is difficult to tell which one is better.

But from the situation on the scene, it should be Baron, the core of the team, who happened to be restrained by the wizard on the opposite side.

As the captain, Baron is now very fast to resist the serpentine sea beasts attacking from three directions, but the situation is already precarious. One of the members of the Fish Dragon Team is lying on the coral reef and seems to have lost his combat effectiveness.

Although Captain Baron is flashing with various witchcraft lights, his speed and strength have been raised to a very high level.

However, the combat effectiveness of these three serpentine sea beasts is quite strong, and witchcraft auras are constantly emerging on their bodies. I don't know whether it is the blessing given by others on the side, or the innate ability of large sea beasts.

In addition, there are big knights on the backs of the serpentine sea beasts to fight together.

More importantly, Ryan keenly noticed that Captain Baron's mouth was overflowing with a trace of bright red blood.

Moreover, he would pause slightly from time to time during the battle, and his face would show pain.

This made Ryan quickly realize that this was most likely related to the black-robed man holding a dagger and chanting spells from time to time on the back of the largest giant snake-shaped sea beast.

In other words, to break the situation, the key to the whole battle was the black-robed man.

At this time, there was a knight holding a sword and shield stationed beside the black-robed man, seemingly to prevent the captain Baron from rushing forward quickly.

Seeing Ryan and Veronica suddenly appear, several members of the Fish Dragon Team were puzzled.

Trevo, the archer, immediately turned around and said to another team member: "What's going on? Didn't you notify them to evacuate quickly?"

"We can't hold on for long! If it weren't for the fishing port town nearby, we could have retreated long ago, and Bastos wouldn't have been seriously injured."

The team member was obviously a little aggrieved and said: "My albatross just told me that it has been notified. I think it should be Baron Ryan who is coming!"

Although Trevo has a good impression of Ryan, he couldn't help but get a little angry at this time, saying: "This young man is so impulsive!"

"He doesn't even know that we are competing with him. It's just a one-on-one fight. Fighting with this kind of team is completely different concepts."

"Sir Ryan, what should we do now?"

"Stop here, leave the rest to me." Ryan said, and found a small island not far away, which could be used as a preset battlefield.

After all, fighting with sea beasts in the sea is still a bit disadvantageous.

"Okay, Lord Ryan."

At this time, Veronica recited a certain witchcraft spell.

Suddenly, Ryan felt a large amount of water energy particles condensed under his feet, and he had a faint feeling of floating.

"Lord Ryan, I have cast the witchcraft 'walking on water', which is enough to support your own weight to walk normally on the sea surface, and it will last about half an hour."

This made Ryan look happy.

He also planned to lead the opponent to the island nearby for battle, but now it seems that there is no need, and there are many more options on the battlefield.

Veronica continued to remind him, "By the way, Mr. Ryan. If you want to cast a spell, be careful."

"It's best not to affect the area under your feet, otherwise, the spell 'Walking on Water' I cast on you will be offset or unstable."

Ryan nodded after hearing Veronica's reminder.

He understood this.

To put it simply, he can't cast the spell 'High Temperature Force Field' in battle, because this spell will cover the soles of the feet, thus affecting the stability of the spell 'Walking on Water', but he can cast 'Scorching Touch' or 'Scorching Light'.

Immediately afterwards, another light blue spell flashed by.

A thin layer of water film instantly condensed around Ryan. He was more familiar with this spell. This was the water spell 'Water Film Spell', which could provide a certain degree of defense.

"Thank you, Miss Veronica. Leave it to me next." Ryan nodded and smiled at Veronica.

"Mr. Ryan, please be careful. If it doesn't work, I have a formal witchcraft scroll given to me by my mentor."

"Okay."

Ryan didn't say anything more, took a step towards the side of the ship, and stood on the sea.

And the Eagle Federation's people, of course, saw Ryan and Veronica appear.

A black-robed man glanced at the two and murmured, "Is this the local defense force of the Dragun Empire? A third-level wizard apprentice and a knight, no, it seems to be a great knight?"

"Hoffman, you go and get rid of these two unstable factors."

"Yes, Lord Nehru." The great knight holding a sword and shield quickly controlled the thorn-backed sea snake under his crotch and attacked Ryan at high speed.

And the black-robed man named Nehru, the energy fluctuation on his body obviously exceeded the limit of a third-level wizard apprentice, but his eyes at this time were still on Baron who was fighting quickly.

As the third-ranked existence in the 'Leviathan' team, he was the first to arrive after receiving the information from the Federal Navy.

Because he happened to be collecting the same material nearby.

Not long after he arrived, he found the traces of the battle team of the Dragun Empire, so the battle started suddenly.

The captain of the other team was a peak knight. After being blessed with the buffs of other team members, he was indeed more difficult to deal with.

Even he took some effort to suppress the opponent.

Nehru looked at the "Cursed Magic Blade" in his hand, which was emitting a faint black light, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

If it weren't for him, who happened to restrain the opponent's peak knight, it might not be possible for other people in the "Leviathan" team to eat the opponent.

Just now, he relied on this "Cursed Magic Blade" in his hand to curse the opponent three times in a row, namely "Weak Curse", "Pain Curse" and "Cold Heart Curse".

As a result, the opponent's strength could not be fully exerted.

Now, the balance of victory has tilted towards him. In a few minutes, the opponent's physical strength will gradually run out.

Nehru observed for a while, and then turned his attention to Ryan and Veronica in the distance.

As the slight spell sounded, Nehru used the short dagger emitting black light in his hand to gently cut his fingers twice. As the bright red blood flowed out, a strange wave suddenly attacked Veronica in the distance.

And one second later, another inexplicable wave attacked Ryan!

After the spell was over, Nehru's face turned slightly pale, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now, Hoffman should be able to easily deal with the opponent.

The unstable factor is about to be eliminated!

Suddenly, Veronica next to Ryan covered her chest with her hand, her face changed drastically, and said:

"Sir Ryan, I seem to be cursed with pain! You have to be careful, the black-robed man on the other side seems to be a trickster"

Painful curse?

Trickster?

Ryan inexplicably thought of Adams, the third-level wizard apprentice he had killed before, and the opponent's methods were also quite strange.

Of course, the one in front of him is a formal wizard, and his strength is much stronger in comparison.

But Ryan was not afraid at this moment, because his current strength was much stronger than before.

It was just that after hearing that the other party was a trickster, Ryan became more cautious.

But the next second, Ryan only felt that the negative energy around him suddenly increased, and in an instant, it invaded his body.

"This effect. Is this a weakness curse?"

Ryan reacted immediately. After all, he had just felt this witchcraft not long ago.

However, compared with the weakness curse cast by Nathaniel, this weakness curse is more than one level stronger.

If it is not dispelled, basically, with his great knight's combat power, under the influence of this curse, he can only play the level of a peak knight at most.

This is a battle, a life-and-death struggle, not a competition, so without hesitation, Ryan added a little attribute point to his spirit.

As the remaining attribute points went from 6 to 5, the spirit also went from 31 points to 32 points, and a warm current was pumped out from the heart and quickly spread throughout the body.

In an instant, Ryan's weakness was completely swept away!

Not bad! Ryan smiled.

Adding points will restore, and it is still effective!

At this time, the great knight named Hoffman, controlling a thorny sea snake, also smiled and rushed towards the boat where Ryan was.

Because just now, he sensed that the two enemies had been cursed by Lord Nehru.

This situation has happened many times in previous battles.

Therefore, there was no suspense in the next battle.

In his opinion, the two enemies were no different from lambs to be slaughtered!
