Chapter 281 Waste Utilization (Two Chapters in One)

However, at this time, Ryan looked up and looked around, and walked to the huge pits on the ground to check, and found that the legendary earth snake had already run away without a trace.

Ryan picked up the imitation emperor's scepter that fell on the ground. After this consumption, the emperor's power contained in it was almost gone.

Obviously, if he wanted to use it again, he had to go back to the sword-bearing branch to recharge.

And he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to catch up with the legendary earth snake while the other party was injured, or stay to protect Claire and the others.

Of course, although the earth snake had been injured by the imitation emperor's scepter, the injury was not serious. In addition, as an ancient legendary species, the earth snake was stronger than him.

Even if Ryan caught up, he was not sure that he could kill it with one blow with the special effect of the "Soul Shattering Hammer" "Soul Shattering Impact".

At this time, Claire and Olena also came to Ryan who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

Along the way, they saw the densely packed holes and the mess on the ground of the garden, which shocked them.

"Ryan, you are getting stronger and stronger!" Claire walked to Ryan's side, looked at him sideways, and said.

"You defeated two quasi-legendary level warriors one by one, especially this Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult. I feel that he is only one step away from being a legendary warrior."

"It is indeed difficult to deal with him." Ryan nodded and said.

Just as Ryan was about to ask Claire about the quasi-legend, Olena walked to Ryan's other side and said with a smile:

"Yes, Lord Ryan, you killed Laxul. I will report this to the Sword Bearer Branch immediately."

"Moreover, the opponent's strength exceeded expectations. I think it is not fair to rate the mission three and a half stars. I will suggest to Lord Yumaz that it be upgraded to four-star gold."

"Tsk tsk, this is Laxul who caused the tragedy in many small towns in Meister. This time he died at the hands of the 'Meyster Battering Ram', which can be regarded as a worthy death." Olena smiled.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, you also killed the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon."

"However, as a mission of the Sword Bearer Branch of the Gnom Province, I still need to communicate with the other party about the reward." As she spoke, Olena glanced at the three members of the Blade Team who were receiving treatment and said.

"Thank you, Ms. Olena. As for the credit for killing the Snake Cult Ganon, the Blade Squad has made an indelible contribution." Ryan said.

"Well, I understand what you mean, Ms. Ryan. I will communicate with Captain Langer first." Olena nodded.

At this time, Claire saw that Ryan was staring at the huge tunnel on the ground in a daze, and immediately thought of something and asked:

"Ryan, do you want to chase that legendary land snake?"

"Well, I'm worried about this legendary land snake. If it is not eliminated, the other party may come to retaliate at any time." Ryan frowned slightly and nodded.

Olena first glanced at Ganon's headless body on the ground, then turned to look at Ryan and said:

"Sir Ryan, this legendary ground snake should not be the battle pet of Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult, but should be controlled by some evil magic of the other party."

"Now that Ganon is dead, the ground snake should leave on its own after gaining freedom, and it is likely that it will not trouble us again."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ryan looked thoughtful.

If that's the case, there is really no need to take the risk, enter the tunnel, and try to kill the other party.

It's just a pity.

The effect of 'Soul Shattering Shock' has not been tested

After all, if the enemy is too weak, the power cannot be tested.

If I had known earlier, I should have killed one more Black Flame Monk before, and used the Soul Shattering Shock directly on Ganon, the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but look at the headless body of Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult, feeling a little regretful.

At this time, the head maid Shadiya stood calmly behind her mistress Claire, and she didn't say anything, but her eyes would stare at Ryan in a daze from time to time.

However, her legs, which were clamped and slightly rubbed, seemed to prove that her heart at the moment was not as calm as her face, and still revealed some inner waves.

As an ordinary person, Shadiya almost didn't see the battle between Ryan and Laxul and the Secret Snake Cannon clearly throughout the whole process.

After all, the speed of the action has exceeded the upper limit of her vision.

All the head maid saw at that time were blurred shadows, splashing mud, pits on the ground, splashing sparks, whirlwinds and flames. In her perception, this was just like a battle between gods!

But there is one thing that the head maid still understands, that is, Ryan's physical strength is really good!

This point can be easily proved by the fact that Ryan's face still has no signs of fatigue after two battles.

In addition, what Ganon, who controlled the earth snake, said also proved that Ryan had some kind of physical talent.

This made the head maid glance at Ryan again.

She thought shyly, 'In addition to physical strength, will Ryan also have specialties in other aspects? '

While Claire and the others were talking to Ryan, the guards on the side also began to help their companions up and clean up the garden.

However, when they saw the bodies of the Black Flame Guardians, most of which were shot in the head, as well as the bodies of Laxul and the Secret Snake Cult Ganon.

Many guards whispered:

"Hey, Lord Ryan, why do you like to use the war hammer to blow up the enemy's head so much."

"It's bloody and white, and it's disgusting to look at."

"Are you scared? You're right!"

"Lord Ryan should want to use this fighting method to intimidate the enemy!" A young guard said with an understanding expression.

The other guards looked at each other and immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"That's right! It should be like this."

"But... In this case, I think your original nickname 'Meist Battering Ram' is not appropriate enough."

"By the way, what do you think of calling your Lord 'Skull Crusher'?"

"This is appropriate, it's okay." A guard nodded and agreed.

"Okay!"

At this time, Langgel also dragged his injured body and walked over.

He first looked at Ganon's body in shock, then looked at Ryan, and said with emotion: "Lord Ryan, your strength is really this!"

As Langgel said, he gestured a thumbs up.

Just now, the three members of their sharp blade team joined forces to fight against this Gannon, but they were completely defeated in less than a minute!

But when Gannon fought against Lord Ryan, it also took almost a minute and he became a headless corpse!

This made Langer not know what to say for a while!

They are both captains of gold-level sword bearers, but the gap is too big.

This comparison is almost under the same time and conditions, and the conclusion is too clear and obvious.

Of course, Langer's compliment does not mean that he is good at flattery, but because although the sword bearers are treated very well in all aspects, there is a prerequisite, that is, they can come back alive after the mission.

Therefore, the sword bearers respect their powerful companions very much.

Because sometimes, when you meet a strong companion to help you, that is the difference between life and death.

"Captain Langer, you are too flattering. Without the obstruction of the three of you, it is very likely that Ganon will find out that Holden is dead in advance and will directly order the earth snake to destroy the villa."

Hearing what Ryan said, Langer felt as sweet as drinking honey!

Langer knew exactly what was going on with the three of them.

Even with all his strength, he was still beaten to death by Ganon, but in what Lord Ryan said, he tried his best to stop him, which was of great significance.

Listen, this is emotional intelligence!

"By the way, Captain Langer, it just so happens that I want to ask you a question, that is, what is the biggest difference between a quasi-legend or a legend and our great knight?"

"Hmm? Lord Ryan, haven't you learned about it?" Langer looked at Ryan in surprise.

In his opinion, Ryan, who is about to enter the quasi-legend level in the next step, should have a more comprehensive and profound grasp of this knowledge than him.

But in fact, Ryan has only been a formal great knight for more than two months, so naturally he has not learned about the relevant content.

"Well, for a great knight, comprehending the glory of will and entering the realm of title knight is a legendary strongman." Langer thought for a while and said concisely.

"If you only comprehend a little or a small part, then you are a quasi-legendary strongman."

"The radiance of will?" Ryan frowned and said.

It seemed to be the second time he heard this statement. The last time should be Master Gunther who vaguely mentioned it.

"Well, yes. Simply put, the pressure you felt in the battle with these two just now is the entry-level influence of will." Langgel pointed to the bodies of Ganon and the others and said.

"If you master the elementary use of this radiance of will, you will be considered to have entered the level of quasi-legend."

However, Langgel always felt a little awkward while saying this.

He soon realized where the awkwardness was.

This is because, although these two people are quasi-legends of a higher level to him, they are defeated by Ryan.

Now, he wants Ryan to learn from these two people

That kind of pressure?

Ryan nodded.

As a wizard, he has a more acute perception than Langgel.

Therefore, Ryan could feel that this kind of pressure was a display of some kind of mental power.

"Captain Langer is right, but Ryan, you are still a wizard."

"For wizards, the classification of quasi-legendary strongmen is simpler, that is, the liquefaction of mental power, that is, becoming a second-level wizard. And legend is the crystallization of mental power." Claire said on the side.

"If mental power is compared to a multi-faceted crystal, then perception is one of the faces, which is an external manifestation of mental power. And the brilliance of will is another face of this crystal, which is another external manifestation of mental power."

"This is what I heard from the king of rangers, Ms. Sephiris, who is called 'Wind Walker', when I was in the Royal Academy."

"She also has both the path of wizard and knight. I think her words should be helpful to you." Claire looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said.

Two sides of the same coin?

Ryan nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Claire. Ms. Seferis's words are very inspiring to me."

But Ryan also knew that this was a summary.

For him, if he wanted to master the brilliance of will, he still had to start from the first step.

"Everyone, I'll trouble you here. I want to go back and think about it first."

"Of course, please go ahead, Mr. Ryan."

Returning to his room, Ryan thought about it and checked the system prompts first:

[You have experienced a battle, Warhammer Wizard (Legend) experience +2491]

[You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legend) experience +1387]

(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent 'Primary Extraordinary Enlightenment'.)

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and obtained 3 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and obtained 4 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded four levels from lv1 when it was just transferred to lv5 (591/2000).

And because the original Weapon Master (Legend) career level has reached lv8 and is about to be upgraded, after gaining a lot of experience this time, it has also been upgraded to lv9 (198/10000).

This is a pleasant surprise!

Because this just meets the first prerequisite of the epic class - King of Thousand Blades (Epic), 'Weapon Master lv9 or above'.

In addition, Ryan also gained 5 attribute points and 5 skill points again, plus 7 gold skill points.

It can be said to be a great harvest!

Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 6 remaining attribute points, 6 remaining skill points, and 8 gold skill points.

This means that Ryan can currently upgrade any of the two advanced secrets, 'Crushing Hammer' or 'Blade Storm·Modified', to the top secret.

In addition, Ryan also vaguely grasped a trick about will.

Immediately, Ryan hugged his chest with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand, pacing back and forth in the room to think.

——

A few hours later.

The more than 20 Black Flame monks who escaped saw a group of familiar figures appearing at the other end of the original tunnel, led by another adult of their church, Lord Freeman.

But there was a strange figure as tall as a little giant beside him.

Under the dim torch, the other party had disheveled hair and could not see his face clearly. He was wearing an extremely old bronze breastplate, and his exposed skin was grayish white and full of wrinkles, not as elastic as normal people.

What made the Black Flame monks even more afraid was that the other party exuded a fascinating aura, which made them dare not approach at all.

"Lord Freeman, it's not good! Lord Laxul was killed by Ryan."

"Huh?"

"Laxul is dead?" Freeman's originally very good mood was covered with a layer of haze.

"So, the plan to attack Earl Habsburg's mansion has also failed?"

"This." The Black Flame monks looked at each other and said.

"It can't be said to be a complete failure. Lord Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult is still fighting."

"Huh? So you ran away? A bunch of trash!" Freeman's eyes twitched, and he was furious!

"Puff!"

The ancient hero Munger had advanced several meters without knowing when. An arm that was as skinny as a stick but with clearly visible muscle fibers and a very thick skeleton pierced through the chest of a Black Flame monk who had escaped.

The Black Flame monk was also confused. He had never expected to be attacked in the crowd of his own church.

At this moment, he was like a chicken, being picked up by the arm that pierced his chest.

Red blood lines began to appear densely on his arm, and the Black Flame monk opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to scream, but his whole body began to hunch, shrink and dehydrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, his limbs were gray and white like a mummy, drooping naturally, and his neck also fell to the side.

The thick arm, which was obviously much redder, was thrown away casually, as if throwing away a piece of garbage, and the body was thrown aside.

"Since they are trash, they are useless (ancient common language)." A low and hoarse voice came out of the mouth of the ancient hero Monger, as if he had just killed a chicken instead of a human.

Such a cold tone frightened the Black Flame monks who had escaped back and turned pale!

"This. Lord Monger, although these are trash, they are loyal believers of the church after all (ancient common language), so they can still be used as trash." Freeman on the side hurriedly explained.

At the same time, he also cursed himself secretly.

Damn! How could I forget that this lord was next to me.

I just said trash and let this lord hear it.

Of course, the key to the problem is that many words in the ancient common language and the modern common language have the same pronunciation, including the word "waste".

"My lord, I will take you to a place where there are enough strong people for you to recover."

"Not such trash again?"

"Of course not, those are the elite of the Dragun Empire." Freeman was stunned when he heard it, and immediately laughed dryly twice and said.

——

At the same time.

Munster.

Sword Bearer Division, top floor of the administrative building.

In Admiral Edward's office.

A middle-aged man wearing an army uniform with a pair of golden branches and four crescent moons on his shoulder straps was respectfully reporting: "Admiral, I just received urgent military information from Meister."

"The sealed door was opened by the sea clan and the Poseidon Cult, but I didn't expect that the sealed door was actually a three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail. The Imperial Guardian was not careful for a moment and let the other party escape into the deep sea."

"I didn't expect it to be a three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail."

"Huh? Escaped?" Admiral Edward, who was wearing a general's uniform, raised his brows and found it hard to believe this result.

Because he knew that the empire's top officials should have some knowledge of what might be sealed within this forbidden door.

Moreover, since the news of the forbidden door was reported, it is said that the empire has begun to make preparations and sent the Imperial Guardian.

Unexpectedly, he actually let the other party escape.

"Which Imperial Guardian is here this time?"

"It's Lord Dragon Knight Menia."

"Huh? It's actually the 'Red Queen', I didn't expect that even she couldn't take down this three-headed devil-tailed sea dragon!"

As an imperial general, Edward naturally knew the origin of Menia.

The other party is the aunt of His Majesty the current Imperial Emperor. The dragon under her seat is an adult female red dragon, with a fiery red body. In addition to Menia's royal status, she is honored as the 'Red Queen'.

Among the guardians of the empire, he is also considered to be the top powerhouse.

Unexpectedly, even she failed.

"Yes, it is said that this devil-tailed three-headed sea dragon has a hint of divinity, and it should be deeply loved by a certain evil god, so..." Colonel Stanley explained.

"Divine creature? No wonder!" Admiral Edward's face was clear, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were wrinkled deeper.

"Yes, my lord."

"It's been such a troubled time," Edward couldn't help but sigh.

This shows that the current situation facing the empire has gradually escaped the empire's control. Otherwise, even if this three-headed dragon with a magic tail is a divine creature, it would be impossible to escape.

"Do the Duke of Munster and Archbishop Gomes know about this matter?"

"The Duke of Munster should know about it, but Archbishop Gomes probably doesn't know about it yet."

"Well, inform Archbishop Gomes and ask them to be more vigilant."

"As you command, my lord."

"By the way, what does it say above?"

"Well, the request above is for our branch to send out more assigned tasks related to the Sea Tribe and Poseidon Cult in the future to assist the operations of the Imperial Navy and Army."

"Well, follow it."

——

Meister County.

The gardens of Earl Habsburg's residence.

The internal agent installed by the Black Flame Cult in Earl Habsburg's mansion was currently shoveling shovelfuls of soil into the large hole dug by the legendary ground snake.

After more than an hour, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Hey, Aria, you've been working very hard today. You haven't had a break."

"Hmm" The spy who went by the pseudonym Aria was obviously not willing to pay attention to the teasing of his fellow guards.

Because at this moment, his mood was shattered.

He didn't expect that the attack carefully planned in the meeting would end in this way!

And when he witnessed Laxul's death in Ren's hands, his whole body became cold.

Fortunately, he did not immediately rebel when the attack occurred.

Otherwise, he would be lying on the ground now.

He made up his mind to wait for a while and not to pass on any news or intelligence to the church.

Because after Laxul and another Black Flame Guardian died at the hands of Ren, in fact, the remaining elites of the church did not know his true identity.

After a lot of hard work, this huge pothole was finally almost filled.

Aria wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt quite pleased to see the fruits of her 'labor'.

Suddenly, he faintly noticed something was wrong, because he felt that the newly filled ground seemed to be shaking slightly from the soles of his feet.

"Huh? Could it be that the earth snake is here again?"

"Don't look for me, look for Ren!" Aria's expression changed, and she turned around and planned to leave the cave entrance.

But in an instant, an accident occurred!

I saw soft soil splashing everywhere, and a thick gray-white dry arm suddenly stretched out from the soil and grabbed his ankle!

In an instant, Aria felt a biting chill, rushing from her tailbone to the back of her head!

"Uh-huh!"

The next second, Aria disappeared.

I saw that Aria's entire body was dragged directly from the ground into the ground by a strong force.

In the large filled pit, a small hole less than one meter in diameter suddenly appeared.

The expressions of the guards who saw this scene changed greatly!
