Chapter 298: Pursuit (Two Chapters in One)

Facing the giant lava hand, Ryan narrowed his eyes!

He just tiptoed and quickly dodged to the side of the gate.

But the next second, the giant lava hand turned around like a dragon, plowing the ground, and continued to chase Ryan!

Under the condition of conditional choice, Ryan naturally did not want to bear the opponent's powerful second-level witchcraft.

So, after seeing the giant lava hand continue to chase him, Ryan turned around and turned again, rushing towards the wall where Asimov was!

It seemed that he wanted to close the distance between the two and let the other party also bear the damage of his witchcraft.

At this time, Asimov's mouth opened and revealed a smile.

He had rich combat experience. Seeing this scene in front of him, he immediately understood Ryan's plan.

The knight who was good at close combat must find a way to close the distance with him when fighting with him, otherwise, he could not hurt him at all.

And for this, he already had a very mature set of countermeasures.

Suddenly, a fiery red ring of light flashed on Asimov's body, and then he quickly recited a spell.

When Ryan was still more than ten meters away from him, Asimov raised his short staff and pointed at Ryan. Suddenly, a beam of flame burst out in front of the short staff and shot towards Ryan!

Ryan's reaction was also very fast. He raised the magic silver kite shield in his hand and blocked it steadily in front of his chest.

With a "bang"!

Ryan steadily blocked the opponent's fire attack, but the impact of the explosion also forced his forward body to temporarily stop.

Asimov smiled, thinking to himself, "That's it", and saw him raise his left hand and clench it heavily!

The next moment!

A huge lava hand attacked from behind and grabbed Ryan heavily.

But the next second, Asimov's eyes flashed with a trace of shock.

Because he saw that three metal kite-shaped shields suddenly lingered around Ryan, pushing the giant lava hand that was grabbing down hard away from a range of one or two meters.

Although the opponent's shield was already creaking at this moment, it was blocked after all.

How is this possible?

His own lava hand has a power of at least 60 degrees, and the opponent can actually withstand it with his innate witchcraft?

This shouldn't be!

Even if the opponent is a rare formal wizard and great knight, he is only a first-level wizard after all, and there is no way he can resist the second-level witchcraft!

Asimov naturally mistook the "metal barrier" that Ryan had just cast as a natural witchcraft.

After all, the casting time of 0.25 seconds is enough to make the fake look real.

Ryan took advantage of the momentary resistance of the three kite-shaped shields to calmly dodge sideways, avoiding the strong grip of the giant lava hand, and stood far away from Asimov again.

Although he was slightly at a disadvantage in the previous round.

But at this time, Ryan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his fighting spirit became more and more high.

The opponent was the first second-level wizard he encountered. If we talk about the combat power, he is No.2 among all the enemies he has encountered so far, second only to the ancient hero Monger.

But the fighting styles of the two are completely different!

One is wild and heroic like a lion, and the other is sinister and scheming like a venomous snake.

And most importantly, Ryan could clearly feel that when he was fully immersed in the battle just now, it seemed that his will was more condensed.

Sure enough, fighting is the shortcut to enhance the glory of will.

At this time, the Blood Peak Mercenary Corps vassal knight squad guarding outside Ryan's mansion had killed a team of patrolling night watchmen who had just passed by.

At the same time, they were still quite surprised by the rumbling fighting noises coming from the mansion.

The four looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

The three adults went out together, but they couldn't quickly take down the other party?

It seems that the opponent's strength is extraordinary!

However.

The original planned retreat time node is about to arrive.

If the adults don't come out, the patrol personnel who disappear one after another here will soon be discovered by the imperial security department. At that time, it will be difficult to retreat.

Maybe, for the adults, being surrounded by the elite of the empire is just a little troublesome.

But for them, it will be a big trouble at that time.

And the vassal team on the other side.

The four third-level wizard apprentices who are responsible for suppressing the powerful witchcraft energy fluctuations in this area have beads of sweat on their foreheads at this moment.

They looked at the foggy mansion with astonishment!

This energy fluctuation is too big!

Could it be that Master Asimov has made a full-scale attack?

Who are they dealing with this time?

So strong?

They can't hold on for a minute at most, because their mental strength is about to be exhausted.

And in the mansion.

The attack just now was in vain, which made Asimov's expression more solemn. For the first time, he regarded the young man Ryan as a great enemy.

At the same time, he also knew that it would not work to continue the confrontation like this.

He had limited time on his side. If he followed the planned schedule, he would have about half a minute.

"In this case, we can only use that move!"

"As long as the opponent is injured, the next battle will be easy."

Asimov's eyes condensed, and he raised the short staff in his hand and began to chant loudly, with a surge of energy waves spreading out.

Ryan reacted immediately. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the opponent must have cast a second-level sorcery this time, which is different from the first-level sorcery flame impact just now, and will be much more powerful.

Moreover, it is likely to be a second-level sorcery with more concentrated power and difficult to dodge, otherwise, the opponent would not have to give up the lava hand.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and made a decision in an instant!

He was surrounded by a kite-shaped shield transformed from magic silver, and rushed towards Asimov quickly.

Although the second-level sorcery is powerful, it also means that the chanting time is longer than before.

In addition, his melee damage far exceeds the long-range attack. If he wants to win, it is still the best choice to close the distance.

Seeing Ryan rushing again, Asimov glanced at Ryan, and there was an inexplicable sense of meaning.

Asimov did not move until Ryan almost rushed in front of him, but continued to chant witchcraft. Obviously, Asimov was very confident in the defensive power of his own innate witchcraft.

In addition, it also proved that the witchcraft the other party was performing was extremely powerful.

Just as Ryan waved his two-handed hammer and smashed it heavily at Asimov, Asimov's chanting just ended.

He pointed his finger at Ryan, and in front of his fingertips, a bowl-thick scorching ray suddenly emerged and rushed straight to Ryan.

At this moment, Ryan did not choose to defend at all, but waved the two-handed hammer in his hand that was transformed from hardened fine gold, which was a "Hammer of Annihilation"!

In an instant, both of them had strong confidence in their defense, and at the same time, they were extremely confident in their own attack power.

The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.

The scorching ray hit Ryan first.

The scorching rays hit the kite-shaped shield transformed from the magic thorium. Although the magic thorium has a very strong resistance to energy damage, it does not mean that it is completely immune.

It can weaken the damage effect by 60% to 70%, which means that there is still 30% to 40% of the remaining power.

The power of the second-level single-target witchcraft is too strong.

The magic thorium shield only blocked for a moment, and a small hole was pierced in the middle of the shield, and the remaining scorching rays hit Ryan with the remaining power.

Then, the mithril carved breastplate was penetrated.

The power of the scorching rays was only one tenth of that.

But Asimov thought he had a sure win, because even one tenth of the power of the scorching rays was enough to penetrate the flesh and blood of a great knight.

At the same time, the war hammer in Ryan's hand also hit Asimov heavily.

A ring of flame flashed across his body, and an impact force came, but it was shattered by the crushing power contained in the hammer head.

This made Asimov's eyes flash a little panic for the first time!

"Bang!" With a sound!

The hammer weakened by the fire ring bombarded the rock armor that suddenly formed on Asimov's body, and the mud splashed everywhere!

A big hole was broken in the rock armor!

Just when the hammer just touched Asimov's body, an invisible flame shield suddenly appeared on his body and blocked the hammer!

"Crack!"

The crystal necklace on Asimov's chest shattered.

It seems that the flame shield just now should be released by the crystal necklace to protect the body spontaneously.

This time, although both of them hit each other, it seems that neither of them achieved the expected effect.

The impact of witchcraft made the two distance themselves again.

And Asimov's original idea of ​​winning has disappeared at this moment!

He glanced at the crystal fragments on the ground in astonishment. The attack power of this Ryan just now was definitely more than 70 degrees, which was also an extremely high damage among the liquefied wizards.

Moreover, the opponent's defense was inexplicably strong!

Asimov looked at the small hole on Ryan's chest armor with faint green smoke, thinking.

At this point, Asimov knew that he could not continue to fight like this.

He had clearly felt that the shielding magic array had failed at the moment after the continuous release of the second-level magic just now.

The energy fluctuations just now should have been transmitted.

If he didn't leave at this time, he would probably be very passive. He was not worried about being surrounded by the elite of the empire, but Munster, as the provincial capital, had many masters.

However, he lost two capable generals on his side, but still failed to take down Ryan, let alone get any heart blood.

This made him quite unwilling and angry.

Asimov suddenly blasted a fire attack towards the villa of Ryan's mansion, instantly setting the villa on fire, while he retreated rapidly.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited!

Originally, he thought that this opponent was strong, and he did not attack his family to coerce him, so he deserved respect.

But now it seems that this is not the case!

Ryan immediately flashed to a corner of the burning villa, and the war hammer in his hand transformed into a two-handed sword, and cut off the burning wall with a sword, which was considered to be extinguishing the fire.

However, Ryan was a little hesitant, he didn't know if the other party had any backup.

If he chased now, would it be...

At this time, Vieri shouted from the window: "Captain, I have already sent a signal to Neolo and the others. The safety here is left to us. Don't worry!"

Renne glanced at Vieri, nodded, and immediately chased after him.

At this time, several teams of night watchmen had discovered Asimov's traces, and quickly took aim with their bows and arrows, but the opponent was too fast, surrounded by cyan air, as fast as lightning.

Before the night watchmen's arrows could be fired, Asimov ducked into a side alley.

Relying on the blood-feathered hippogryph's guidance in mid-air, Renn brought up a gust of wind and chased directly behind the opponent.

And because the shielding witch formation had just failed, such a big movement of the second-level witchcraft had already awakened the city that was on high alert.

At this time, in addition to the blood-feathered hippogryph, there were two more black spots in the sky, flying quickly towards Asimov and Renn.

It was the Munster Griffin Knight on patrol.

Although it was night and the clouds were thick, the visibility was very low.

However, under the illumination of street lights and house lights in the city, they could vaguely distinguish two figures moving at high speed on the ground, so they immediately controlled the griffins under their crotches to swoop down.

The two of them worked in tandem, intending to control both Asimov and Lane at the same time.

But the next second, the gray figure moving at high speed in front quickly raised his hand and aimed at the swooping down Griffin Knight, unleashing a flaming impact on his face.

Immediately, the griffin roared and flapped its wings in shock, dodging the flames and almost throwing off the griffin knight.

Facing the swooping griffin knight, Renn accelerated in a Z-shape to dodge the opponent's attack, and said from a distance: "The sword holder of the empire, Renn."

Um?

Wren?

The eyes of the gryphon knight who attacked Renn immediately widened.

"Damn it! I actually attacked Mr. Ren."

It turned out that this gryphon knight was Fisher who had witnessed the battle between Renn and the ancient hero Monger in Meist.

He also just adjusted his defense and returned to Munster yesterday.

Asimov, who had scared away the gryphon knight in front, suddenly dodged and entered an alley.

I saw him chanting a spell quickly and waving the short staff in his hand.

In an instant, two more lifelike figures appeared around him, exactly the same as his body.

The next second, three figures, including himself, immediately rushed in three different directions.

And Ren, who was following behind, had a flash of light in his eyes.

He still has some experience with the witchcraft 'Clone Technique'.

Since that encounter with Galina's clone technique, Renne has summarized relevant combat experience.

Renne was seen chasing from the center almost without stopping, and quickly ordered the greyhound dog Cookie to chase the figure on the left, while the blood-feathered hippogryph in the sky chased the figure on the right.

But at this moment, the gryphon knight in the sky was suddenly blinded.

In the dim night, it was impossible to distinguish three identical figures. They could only draw lots, and one person randomly found a figure and chased after them.

The night watchmen, city guards and other imperial elites who surrounded them on the ground originally determined their position based on the position of the gryphon knights in mid-air, but now they saw two gryphon knights chasing after them separately.

After a short period of confusion, the team was immediately divided into two groups, each chasing a griffin knight.

After a while, Xue Yu was the fastest. As it leaned forward and sprinted, its claws pounced, and the figure on the right shattered like a bubble.

And after a few seconds, Cookie's screams came from the left!

I saw Cookie stepping forward to bite the figure, but he was hit by a fire blast, and a large piece of hair on his back was directly ignited. He hurriedly rushed to the fountain pool on the roadside to put out the fire.

But this move naturally exposed Asimov's true identity.

Ren immediately gave up on the central figure, changed direction, and let the blood-feathered hippogryph navigate for him in the sky, while he quickly pursued it.

Although Cookie was burned, it had the innate ability of 'high-speed regeneration'.

This injury is not serious to it.

After it rushed out of the flower bed fountain, it roared angrily and continued to chase Asimov again.

Asimov was relieved when he saw that he had thrown away his pursuers. He was planning to circle back to the administrative area and take the airship back to the imperial capital in about ten minutes.

But the next second, his brows wrinkled again.

Asimov looked up at the blood-feathered hippogryph in the sky, then glanced back at Ren and the greyhound who appeared again behind him, and couldn't help but cursed secretly: "The haunting thing!"

But Asimov could only speed up again at this moment!

Both sides were extremely fast. They quickly arrived at the trade area from the Münster administrative area, and then passed through the trade area and rushed into the civilian area.

Along the road, the low greenery, potted plants, street tables, chairs, awnings, etc., were like a Category 17 hurricane. The strong wind brought by the two people's high-speed movement was blown to bits and pieces, and they were in a mess.

At this time, Asimov glanced at Ren behind him, who was like a gangrene on his bones, and immediately turned around and hid in an alley again, and quickly started chanting spells and performing spells.

And the next second, Asimov suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Two seconds later, Ren rushed to the alley, being cautious and looking around, frowning slightly.

"Invisibility?"

He was very sure that after the other party's figure entered the alley, he never came out again.

There are only two doors in this alley, and there is no sign of opening or closing.

"Woof woof!"

Cookie, who followed Ryan, sniffed and barked at the roof on the right.

Ryan laughed immediately!

He suddenly turned around and instantly fired more than a hundred four-cornered darts in the direction of Cookie's roar!

"Blade Storm·Change!"

Suddenly, Asimov, who had nowhere to hide, showed up on the roof of a residential building in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Although the four-cornered darts could not cause any damage to him, it could make the other party's plan to escape by using invisibility fail!

"Damn, dead dog!" Asimov said angrily.

If he had known earlier, he should have killed this bad dead dog just now.

Cookie shook his wet hair, his tail raised high, looking quite proud, as if saying, 'You made me a drowning dog, you will be in trouble!' ’

Asimov, who was on the roof, cast Swift Wind again, and continued to flee with a light blue whirlwind wrapped around him.

And Ryan jumped quickly onto the roof of the house and chased him closely!

In the current situation, Asimov naturally knew that if he didn't get rid of Ryan's pursuit, he would have no chance of returning to the auction house, let alone going to the airship docking point and returning to the imperial capital.

Fortunately, it was cloudy tonight and the visibility was very poor, otherwise the pursuit team would have to add griffin knights.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Asimov looked back at Ryan angrily, and then looked at the tall Münster city wall that appeared in front of him, and immediately made up his mind.

In the city of Münster, if he cast a second-level witchcraft, his specific location would be immediately detected by the formation in the city, and the empire's defense force would surround him like a mad dog.

But if he left the city, it would be different.

At that time, there would only be him and Ryan on both sides of the battle for a short time!

The next second, Asimov rushed towards the tall walls of Munster.

Ryan, who was chasing behind, narrowed his eyes after seeing Asimov defeat several city guards and quickly climb the city wall.

"Is he going to escape from the city?"

Ryan accelerated again, and the hardened gold in his hand turned into claws. He chose to take a shortcut and climbed the city wall in a straight line with the strong grip of the claws.

Because Munster was built on the mountain, the difference between some walls and the ground was very large, up to 70 or 80 meters.

Suddenly, Asimov, who was dozens of meters in front of Ryan, cast a floating spell on himself after bypassing a watchtower.

Then, he jumped down from the city wall.

Asimov, who was slowly floating in the air towards the distance, turned his head to look at Ryan, pointed, and gestured a gesture of wiping his neck.

Meaning, he will definitely come back to show Ryan a good show!

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked down at the ground outside the city wall, which was more than 70 meters high. If he jumped directly, he might not die, but he would most likely be seriously injured.

However, the next second, he thought of a way.

The hardened gold in Ryan's hand was quickly deformed and turned into two thin and long metal plates that imitated wings.

As a loud eagle cry came from behind him, a pair of sharp claws grabbed Ryan's shoulders.

Ryan also jumped, one man and one eagle, like a biplane, jumped down from the city wall, gliding, and quickly chasing Asimov.

Although the blood-feathered horned beast is not yet an adult and cannot bear Ryan's full weight, it can still reduce the falling speed to prevent Ryan from being injured.

This scene immediately made Asimov look like a dog!

The corners of his eyes twitched constantly!

The two landed almost at the same time, one in front and one behind, tens of meters apart, and faced each other again.

However, both of them stared at each other without moving!

At this time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the surrounding wilderness and the solemn faces of both parties!

Then, rumbling thunder began to be heard!

Bean-sized raindrops fell down in a crackling sound, as dense as rain hitting banana leaves, and fell to the ground, raising a smell of water vapor and soil.
