Chapter 279 Showdown (Two Chapters in One)

He didn't expect that Ryan would be so tricky!

Before, whether it was the internal response of his own church or the black snake message of Holden of the Secret Snake Church, it was said that Ryan had some kind of physical talent, was good at close combat, and was also a rare metal wizard.

But now, the opponent is not only good at close combat, but judging from the power of the sound wave secret just now, it seems that long-range combat is also not bad.

In addition, the opponent's soul extraction effect, I don't know if it is some kind of witchcraft mastered by the opponent, or the hammer in the opponent's hand is weird?

The four black flame guardians are all comparable to the existence of the great knight, but they don't even know the bottom of the opponent.

But in general, this is a bit troublesome.

Of course, it's just troublesome.

Because his combat power has surpassed the peak great knight and ordinary wizard in the general sense, and he is only a small step away from the title knight.

The title knight also has another name, that is, the legendary strongman.

In other words, Laxul can be called a quasi-legend!

In addition, while he is good at general shadow magic such as weakness and slowness, he also specializes in blood-controlling magic such as boiling blood and bloodsucking.

Although this type of magic belongs to the shadow category, there are very few people who specialize in it.

In other words, enemies who want to rush to his side for close combat will suffer a lot. Not only will they be affected by weakness and slowness, but they will also be disturbed by blood magic in the battle.

So, this is why Laxul still thinks he can deal with Ryan when he sees that Ryan's combat power is so strong.

Ryan glanced at the skull hammer in his hand and silently said in his heart: "Four soul fragments"

When he just killed the first black flame guardian, Ryan quickly glanced at his attribute panel. The strength was 46 (+4). As he expected, the corresponding increase was different when killing different enemies.

You know, when he killed Holden before, it was a +5 gain effect.

Now, these four soul fragments have given Ryan a total of +16 strength gain effect.

Ryan is full of strength at this moment, and he feels like he can't be happy without being hit.

In the main building of the villa, Frye excitedly said to the captain Langgel beside him: "Captain, do you think we can wipe out the enemy here!"

"Wipe out?" Frye's words immediately made Langgel stunned!

When the opponent just appeared, Langgel's thoughts were just about how to resist the opponent's attack for a while longer.

And if he couldn't stop it,

through which route, he could lead the team and Count Habsburg and others to retreat quickly.

But now, do we have to consider wiping out the opponent?

This span is really a bit big!

Langgel looked at the excited Frye, thought about it, and felt that he still couldn't dampen the fighting passion of the young man, and said:

"That depends on the performance of Sir Ryan."

"Captain, don't we rush out to help Sir Ryan?" Frye said eagerly.

Because Ryan's move just now was not only very handsome, but also really boosted morale!

"It's not that we don't help, but we are more useful here."

"Think about it, the other party has the legendary 'Earth Snake', why don't they just destroy the villa building?" At this time, Alex interrupted.

"The other party wants to capture Count Habsburg alive?"

"No, haven't you seen Count Habsburg's injuries? The other party wants to take his life." Alex shook his head and said.

"I understand, the other party wants to rescue Holden?" Fry's eyes lit up and said.

"Yes, the one who controls the earth snake is the high priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon. For him, naturally, he first wants to rescue Holden, who is also a member of the Secret Snake Cult. This should be the most likely situation." Alex revealed the answer.

This is also why Ryan asked him to block this news, so that the enemy would be afraid to act rashly!

"Yes, Alex's analysis is correct." Langer nodded and agreed.

Just as the few people were discussing, the situation on the scene changed again.

I only heard the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, smile and say, "Sir Laxul, do you need me to help your church deal with this Ryan?"

"Thank you, Sir Ganon, I think I can handle it. By the way, you should go and see if Sir Holdan is okay."

"After rescuing Sir Holdan, there is no need for this mansion to exist. Then I will trouble you to destroy it with the earth snake." Laxul said.

In front of him, he killed four Black Flame Guardians. If he can't get the place back at this time, but asks the Secret Snake Cult to take action, let alone what Ganon will think.

Even his own subordinates will feel strange, which will greatly reduce his prestige!

This is naturally intolerable to Laxul.

"Of course, I will go and see the situation of Holdan first." Ganon nodded, took out something, looked at it, and turned an arc, bypassed Ryan, and walked towards the side of the main building of the villa.

Just as Ryan was about to intercept the Snake Cult Ganon, suddenly, Laxul, who was facing him, took a step forward.

Suddenly, a powerful aura locked onto Ryan.

This made Ryan's eyes focus and he focused his attention on Laxul.

This was the second time Ryan encountered such a gaze that was comparable to materialization. The first time was when he encountered the 'Tide Piercer' Rulgatz.

Of course, by comparison, the pressure brought to Ryan by Laxul's gaze was much weaker.

At this time, Langer in the main building of the villa was staring at the Serpent Cult's High Priest Canon who was walking calmly, with a serious face, and said:

"Here, Frye, you and Miss Claire are here. Alex and I will stop the other party."

"Captain Langer, let Mr. Frye go with you. You are a small team. Only when the three of you are together can you exert the greatest combat power." Claire expressed a different opinion.

This. Langer looked hesitant.

"I am already a great knight. It is not a big problem to protect my father. In addition, the later the other party finds out that Holden is dead, the safer we will be!" Claire looked at the hesitant Langer and continued.

"Okay! Miss Claire, then be careful. This Canon is very difficult to deal with. We may not have time to take care of you!" Langer said with a serious face.

At this time, Olena and the head maid Shadiya also ran to Claire breathlessly.

Immediately, the two were attracted by Claire's concentration, and followed her line of sight to the center of the messy garden.

I saw that Laxul, who was confronting Ryan, suddenly had a blood-red shield lingering on his body. Judging from the instantaneous situation, this should be his innate witchcraft.

But it was not over yet. He was seen mumbling in his mouth, and the next second, a black film appeared on his body.

Finally, with a wave of Laxul's hand, the black flames like vines wrapped around Laxul.

Ryan was more familiar with this, which should be the evil spell "Black Flame Shelter" unique to the Black Flame Cult.

Obviously, Laxul was still quite afraid of the power of Ryan's ultimate attack. The defense of the body alone was three levels of witchcraft or evil magic.

"Galina should have died in your hands, right?" At this time, Laxul seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

"You are talking about the woman with the illusion technique, right? She did die in my hands."

"I heard that the tragedy in Shining Gold Town was planned and implemented by you?" Ryan nodded and admitted, and asked back.

"That's right!"

"Why, did your relatives die there?" Laxul glanced at Ryan, his face suddenly realized, and he laughed.

This time, Ryan did not answer Laxul's question again.

Because he knew who the murderer was, he could naturally take action!

In addition, Ryan now had the buff effect of the 'Soul Crushing Hammer' with a strength increase of 16, so he would not waste time in vain.

"Swoosh!"

He saw his toes touch the ground, the soil exploded, and the whole person was like an arrow from a string, shooting straight at Laxul.

Facing Ryan's attack, Laxul was not panicked at all. He had a calm face, quickly raised his fingers, and muttered silently.

The next second!

Three black flame fireballs the size of a baby's head appeared out of thin air in front of his fingers.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The black flame fireball rushed straight towards Ryan!

Ryan dodged sideways, but he found that the opponent's three black flame fireballs were chasing him like a thorn in his flesh, and they quickly turned and continued to attack him.

This made Ryan's eyes condense, and the hardened fine gold attached to the surface of the knight's hand guard instantly turned into a tower shield!

"Iron wall!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The three black flame fireballs hit Ryan at almost the same time, exploding continuously, and smoke and dust rose everywhere!

But in less than half a second, a group of familiar figures, unscathed, rushed out of the smoke and dust and continued to rush towards Laxul.

"Huh? This is a sorcery attack of more than 35 degrees, and it was blocked so easily!" Laxul thought to himself with surprise in his eyes.

However, although he was surprised, the movement of his hands was not slow at all.

I saw a group of black mist quickly formed from his fingertips, and then it shot straight at Ryan!

Ryan knew that the opponent had a special witchcraft blessing similar to the spiritual power guidance. He could not avoid the opponent's witchcraft attack by dodging alone, so he did not slow down at all and went straight forward.

When he saw the black mist approaching, he waved his shield to resist.

However, the mist dissipated as soon as it touched the shield, and a cold force suddenly spread, making Ryan feel a little weak and powerless.

"Weakness spell!"

Ryan immediately knew what the opponent was performing, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the attribute panel.

He saw that the three attributes of strength, body, and agility were weakened by about 20%.

The reduction in agility made Ryan's speed stagnate.

When Laxul saw it, his face was happy, and he quickly muttered in his mouth, and then pointed at Ryan again.

This time, a ball of blood-colored mist attacked Ryan and hit him instantly.

Suddenly, Ryan felt that the blood all over his body seemed to be affected by some strange influence. The flow speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Although the amplitude was not large, it was extremely uncomfortable, which made him stop quickly.

At this time, the remaining few Black Flame Guardians looked at each other, their faces were happy, and they all thought this was a good opportunity to besiege, and immediately surrounded him.

But they were also quite afraid of Ryan's last sonic attack, so they didn't get too close. They rushed forward to 20 or 30 meters, then quickly stopped and turned to control the black flame.

When Laxul saw this situation, he smiled and took out a black and red bottle from his arms.

He quickly pulled out the cork and silently chanted a spell. The rotten blood in the bottle began to flow out, constantly changing its shape in the air, and a strong fishy smell spread.

Taking this opportunity, Laxul began to cast a more powerful spell - 'Corrupted Blood'.

Hit by two negative spells and facing the four Black Flame Guardians at the same time, Ryan's face was calm, and he silently added a point to his agility.

As the remaining attribute points went from 9 to 8, and his agility went from 36 to 37, a warm current was pumped from the heart to the whole body.

In an instant, the abnormal blood flow in Ryan's body subsided!

Not bad!

Ryan smiled.

As expected, this abnormality that affects the body's condition can be directly eliminated with the addition of points.

Then, it will be easy to deal with next.

Ryan turned the skull hammer upside down, with the hammer head facing down and the end of the hammer handle facing up. The hardened adamantium covered on the plate armor quickly extended upward at the end of the hammer handle.

In an instant, a two-handed sword with a skull hammer as the hilt appeared in front of everyone.

But it's not over yet.

Suddenly, a number of four-cornered darts protruded from the smooth surface of the sword blade. This scene made several Black Flame Guardians slightly startled!

What is this operation?

Because they have never seen such a trick.

"Corrupted blood!"

And Laxul felt a little uneasy, and immediately pointed the completed witchcraft at Ryan.

A ball of blood emitting a foul odor suddenly rushed towards Ryan. At a distance of more than ten meters from Ryan, it suddenly exploded and splashed, and the blood drops were dense, almost like raindrops.

This kind of corrupt blood is highly corrosive and toxic!

In Laxul's view, even if Ryan can deform the metal to resist, he will inevitably suffer some damage.

But the next second, Laxul's expression froze!

Ryan held a strange sword in his hand, and suddenly spun at high speed like a gyroscope. The air around him surged violently, accompanied by a sharp hissing sound of breaking through the air!

Nearly a hundred four-cornered darts were shot out in all directions!

At the same time, there was a strong airflow like a tornado, mixed with a large piece of soil, which immediately extinguished the corrupt blood like raindrops!

Ryan used a metal deformation technique combined with the advanced secret of swordsmanship, "Blade Storm·Modified", to directly turn defense into offense!

"Ah! Ah!"

The three black flame guardians who were eager to try just now were covering their wounds caused by the four-cornered darts and howling miserably.

Although they did not resist, there were too many four-cornered darts and they were powerful. Many of them penetrated the defense of the black flames and directly injured their bodies.

Some hit their eyes, and some hit their necks, but their strong vitality made them injured but not dead.

Even in front of Laxul, there were six four-cornered darts, one meter above his body, spinning at high speed.

The four-cornered dart had broken through his outermost vine-like black flame and was rubbing against the black membrane fiercely.

"This kind of power."

"It's already at the level of advanced secrets." Laxul narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Just now, the secrets of hammer technique, sonic secrets, plus the current secrets of swordsmanship."

Laxul looked at the dusty area with a serious face!

Suddenly, in the smoke and dust, there were continuous crisp sounds of smashing melons.

Then, a figure holding a white skull warhammer slowly walked out, surrounded by three translucent narrow human-shaped air currents, and each of them had a painful and hideous face.

Laxul looked at this scene and couldn't help twitching his eyes!

He didn't understand that his three men had been killed at this moment. Ryan used the attack of the four-cornered dart as a cover and quickly followed up to kill several people one by one.

Sure enough, when the smoke and dust cleared.

The three Black Flame Guardians had already turned into headless corpses and fell in a pool of blood!

Ryan, who had just killed the Black Flame Guardians, quickly glanced at his attribute panel:

Strength: 46 (+27)

Strength reached 73 points!

"Hey, shouldn't 47 be 28?"

"Why is it only 27?"

"It seems that there should be a fake one in the middle, filling the number."

Ryan's mind suddenly realized!

In addition, it is very important that Ryan just found a trick to extend the buff effect of the 'Soul Shattering Hammer'.

When he just killed the seventh enemy, the buff effect of strength +27 began to re-time, or in other words, refreshed the duration of one minute.

Ryan instantly thought of the best way to use the buff effect of the 'Soul Shattering Hammer'.

That is, after the tenth floor, stuck in the last few seconds, kill another enemy who can provide soul fragments, and you can refresh this buff effect again.

"Eight parts" Ryan said softly.

"Eight portions? What eight portions?" Laxul looked puzzled.

"You don't understand." Ryan shook his head.

"Actually, I'm quite happy to see you today."

"Huh? Why?" Laxul asked cooperatively with a smile on his face.

With a swish, Ryan turned around quickly and hit the empty space behind him with a backhanded war hammer.

"Pah!"

A transparent figure suddenly appeared in the empty space, and at the same time, the transparent figure swayed like water ripples.

As the invisibility effect quickly faded, a Black Flame Guardian who was about to attack Ryan from behind was revealed.

At this moment, the opponent was still holding the long-handled sickle high and slashing down with force, and his face was looking at Ryan with a look of astonishment.

However.

At this time, the top of this guy's forehead had been completely smashed by Ryan!

This made Laxul's mouth twitch!

Not to mention the failure of the sneak attack, the Black Flame Guardians he brought with him were almost dead.

"Because, I can avenge my friend!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ryan rushed towards Laxul, holding the skull hammer in his hand, leaving a silver shadow.

Laxul's pupils shrank, and his lips quickly pursed. When Ryan was still four or five meters away from him, a ball of blood-colored mist appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Ryan.

But the next second, his face changed!

At such a close distance, the boiling blood technique actually had no effect?

How is this possible?

With a little more agility, Ryan's blood immediately calmed down, and his speed was slightly faster.

Instantly, Ryan held the skull hammer with both hands, and his muscles swelled. The hardened gold covering the knight's hand guard quickly gathered at the hammer handle and extended to form a hammer handle.

Ryan held the skull hammer more than three meters long and hit it hard!

"Pop! Pop!"

The white miniature skull broke through two layers of shields and stopped before the third layer of blood-colored shield.

But at this moment, the blood-colored shield was also hit with a basin-sized dent, almost on the verge of being broken.

The white skull hammer was only a few centimeters away from Laxul's eyes. At this moment, Laxul could clearly see the texture on the miniature skull!

This made Laxul horrified!

"The triple shield can resist at least 50-degree attacks, but it was almost broken by Ryan's hammer!"

"What the hell!"

The next second, Laxul quickly retreated, and at the same time, he quickly took out a blood-red crystal ball and crushed it!

As the huge blood in the crystal ball was infused into the blood-red shield, the blood-red light that had dimmed after resisting Ryan's hammer became much richer and heavier.

At the same time, Laxul cut his wrist with a dagger and chanted a spell quickly.

As his face turned pale, a large amount of bright red blood quickly flew out from the wound on his wrist, forming a prismatic spike emitting bloody light, and a surge of energy waves came.

"Burning blood!"

Such a strong energy wave immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

At this time, Ganon, the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult in the main building of the villa, had already arrived at the door of the detention room, and Langer and Fry were in a very tragic situation at the moment.

The heavy metal shield in Langer's hand had been cracked, his left arm was broken, and there was an obvious dent on the thick knight's plate armor on his chest.

Frye was twitching involuntarily at this moment, his head tilted to one side, because his neck had been broken. His strong vitality prevented him from dying immediately, but he had obviously lost his fighting ability.

Alex was the only one who could still stand in place, gasping for breath and looking at Ganon with fear!

At this time, Ganon, who was sure of victory, looked out the window in surprise and said, "What a strong energy fluctuation?"

Alex also looked in the direction of the opponent's sight.

In the center of the venue.

The hardened fine gold in Ryan's hand quickly changed into a kite-shaped shield, but a cylindrical section quickly protruded from the surface of the shield, like sesame flowers blooming, and another kite-shaped shield was generated, and finally, another one.

In an instant, the three hardened fine gold kite-shaped shields blocked a prism emitting a strong bloody light!

"Boom!!"

The first shield shattered instantly. Although the blood-colored energy storm weakened a lot, it still rushed towards Ryan.

The second shield also shattered immediately afterwards.

The shock wave was further weakened. Ryan's muscles were knotted, and the ground was plowed by two nearly one-meter-deep gullies by plate armor boots!

"Iron wall!"

The third shield was twisted and deformed, but it was blocked after all!

What Laxul didn't expect was that because the explosion was too close to him, he also suffered an explosion shock wave that was almost as strong as Ryan's!

At this moment, the rich blood-colored shield that had just been infused with energy was like a leaf swaying in the wind and rain, and the light was extremely dim!

"Pop!"

The blood-colored shield burst like a bubble!

Laxul widened his eyes, staring at the front, and stopped moving in an instant!

I saw his forehead in close contact with a white bone hammer.

"The ninth copy!" A familiar voice sounded
