Chapter 307 Projection (Two Chapters in One)
"Great God of Hunting, you are the eternal light, the rising sun, bringing dawn and hope to the world"
As Exter chanted, the magic array suddenly burst into surging energy fluctuations.
This energy fluctuation was so powerful that the Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward changed their faces and quickly retreated outside the magic array area.
At this time, dense footsteps sounded outside the gate of the administrative hall.
Although most of the barons and viscounts who were awarded medals escorted their relatives to evacuate first after the attack, there were already a large number of elite guards in the administrative hall.
After defeating most of the Black Flame monks, the guards returned to the hall again.
When they saw the injured Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward, the guards were shocked and ran forward to help.
But as soon as they stepped into the core area of the magic array, they seemed to be trapped in a swamp, and the strong obstruction almost made them unable to move.
To move their legs or reach out their hands, they had to do their best and spend dozens of times more time. Suddenly, these guards who entered the magic array seemed to be in slow motion.
However, this was not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was that waves of black air like pythons emerged from the ground, wrapped around their calves, and quickly swirled up.
For a moment, these elite guards, whose strength was about the level of formal knights, began to tremble all over, as if they could not control their bodies. The blood in their bodies seemed to have independent consciousness and was being attracted by some invisible force.
At this moment, the guards who were trapped in the magic array, such as ears, nose, mouth and even eyes, had scarlet blood oozing out of their bodies, floating in the air, like tiny blood snakes, and quickly gathered towards the position where Exter was!
This horrible scene made everyone exclaim.
"Get out! Those who are not strong enough to be great knights, don't come in!" Duke Munster waved his hands vigorously at the guards who kept coming, looking anxious and shouting.
At this moment, the area where Duke Munster and Admiral Edward were located was closer to the core of the evil magic circle, and the air was heavy as if it was filled with mud.
Although they could control the abnormal movement of blood in their bodies, there seemed to be thousands of hands grabbing their feet.
Under the serious injury, even with the strength of these two, it was extremely difficult to retreat and move slowly.
"Great God of Hunting, please accept my humble sacrifice." Exter's chanting became louder and louder, and his face became more and more fanatical and excited!
He first focused his eyes on the dying ascetic monk of the Goddess Church.
He stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly. In an instant, the other person was surrounded and infiltrated by a large amount of black air, and quickly stood up with his hands wide open.
The next second, the ascetic monk who originally exuded a sacred and indifferent aura suddenly trembled like a sieve, and his eyes rolled up!
With the last scream, it exploded!
The blood, broken organs, broken bones, etc. that originally belonged to the ascetic monk splashed around and covered the center of the evil magic array.
Inspired by this, the ceremony suddenly reached its climax!
It seemed that they were inspired by their own high priest. After feeling the increasingly strong aura of the prayer ceremony, the remaining black flame monks who had been scattered around came out from the side door again.
With fanaticism on their faces, they knelt down in the center of the evil magic array and prayed loudly.
Compared with the shocked expressions of the Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward at this time, Exter's face was filled with incomparable excitement and joy!
You know, he has made great efforts and efforts to successfully enter the level of the third-level crystal wizard.
But this is the limit of his qualifications.
Opportunity is something that cannot be grasped.
Without external forces, his strength would never improve significantly in his lifetime.
But the God of Hunting gave him another choice!
The next second!
A surge of black energy was like a tornado that created Eckster's body out of thin air, and slowly lifted him up into the air.
And a flash of black lightning flashed around him!
An indescribable terrifying aura permeated!
It seemed that a high-ranking existence had cast a trace of attention here.
And the aura on Eckster's body began to rise suddenly!
"Hahaha!"
Eckster found that not only did all the injuries on his body heal in an instant, but his body also began to be filled with huge energy. This feeling made him feel better than ever before!
At the same time.
In the trade zone, at the battlefield of evil spirits.
After seeing the battle situation clearly, the two griffin knights who came to support in the sky quickly circled down from the sky.
This griffin knight was Fisher.
Fisher, who had gotten off the griffin, was anxious. He stepped forward quickly and bowed slightly to Ryan and the other two and said, "Lord Ryan, Lord Brandor, Lord Minor, the situation in the administrative office is not good, and we urgently need your support."
"You three can take our griffin and rush there immediately."
Ryan and the other two looked at each other, nodded, and immediately stepped forward and climbed onto the griffin.
Minor wanted to ask about the secret of Ryan's hammer, but this was not the right time.
As the griffin flew into the sky.
Fisher, who was controlling the griffin in front, said quickly: "Lord Ryan, the situation is not good. The leader of the Black Flame Cult is very powerful this time."
"Even if Lord Duke and Admiral Edward joined forces, they were defeated and seriously injured."
"Huh? Is the situation so bad?" Ryan frowned.
You know, whether it is the Duke of Munster or Admiral Edward, judging from the aura just revealed, their strength is slightly higher than his.
What's more, there is also the stronger ascetic monk cooperating on the side.
In this case, the three of them were defeated together?
This made Ryan feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, Lord Ryan, it was him who activated the evil magic array again." Fisher nodded quickly.
He admired Ryan very much. He was younger than him, but much stronger than him.
Ever since he saw Ryan fighting the ancient hero Monger, Fisher changed his idol from Viscount Felke to Ryan.
Administrative Office
At this time, the support force from the Sword Bearer Division also rushed into the administrative hall.
The leader happened to be Ryan's old acquaintance, the captain of the Rock Team, Batista and Remiel.
In fact, this is also the highest-level team in the Sword Bearer Division that is currently on vacation. Since Rosby County and Meister County are still fighting with the Sea Clan, most of the Sword Bearer teams have already been sent out.
The door on the other side of the hall also suddenly opened at this time. The leader was another Punishment Knight who looked not much different from Brandur, also holding a silver two-handed warhammer.
Behind him were more than five priests and dozens of Templar Knights.
This means that the support force of the Goddess Church has also arrived at this time!
Seeing this scene, the Duke of Munster forced himself to shout: "Quick! Interrupt the opponent's promotion!"
The two reinforcements immediately noticed Eckster, who was floating in the air and whose aura was rising. They reacted one after another, and all kinds of witchcraft and divine arts were densely bombarded at Eckster, who was surrounded by black air, just like the fireworks released during the ceremony.
But these colorful energy attacks were blocked by the vast amount of black air that was surrounding like a tornado a few meters away from Eckster's body.
And close-range attacks were almost impossible.
Seven or eight Templar knights and sword bearers, holding swords and shields, had just entered the sorcery array, and the whole person was like a fly trapped in flypaper, almost unable to move.
Fortunately, the teammates on the side quickly pulled them out.
In the core area of the sorcery array, combatants below the level of the great knight could not control their own blood and body fluids at all.
It was basically a one-for-one.
On the contrary, it would become the nourishment for Eckster's promotion ceremony!
Batista and the Punishment Knight were the only two who could rush into the evil magic array and not be greatly affected.
"Batista, don't worry about us, interrupt his promotion!"
"Otherwise, once he is promoted, there may be no one in the whole of Munster who can resist him." Admiral Edward struggled to support and said solemnly to Batista who was going to rescue him.
"Indeed! Once he succeeds in promotion, he will be an epic strongman, and no one in Munster will be able to stop him!" The Duke of Munster on the side also said with a heavy face.
Batista nodded with a serious face, took out the imitation emperor's scepter from behind, and threw it towards the huge black cyclone floating in the air like lightning!
In an instant, the imitation emperor's scepter burst out with a surging and magnificent breath, and collided violently with Exter's black airflow.
But Exter, as a third-level crystal wizard, is much stronger than the chief priest of the county city.
Even the imitation of the Emperor's Scepter failed to break the defense of the black tornado at this moment. After only hitting a dent, it ran out of energy and fell to the ground.
However, Batista's attack also attracted Eckster, who was originally planning to attack the Duke of Munster.
He raised his palm and aimed it at Batista. Suddenly, a black beam of light as big as a bowl rushed straight to Batista!
"Boom!"
In an instant, Batista, who was holding a shield, was knocked away more than ten meters. The shield in his hand was broken at just a glance, and at the same time, Batista's entire left hand was almost completely shattered.
One blow destroyed a peak knight!
This kind of power almost makes people feel desperate.
Suddenly, Eckster's originally happy face suddenly changed color!
"Not good!"
"This power. No! Great God of Hunting, you can't.!"
"Ah!!!"
With a scream from Eckster, the whole person suddenly lost control, and the originally orderly black energy suddenly became violent.
He also spun rapidly in mid-air, and the suction power increased sharply!
Originally, Exter could still control the rhythm of the entire ritual, but just now it seemed that a great existence projected a trace of power onto this evil magic array and onto him.
Even though Exter was a third-level crystal wizard, he could not bear the blessing of such a great power.
Of course, perhaps he overestimated his willpower, and under the influence of the whispers and powerful energy, he lost himself and over-absorbed.
At this time, the trickle of blood sucking suddenly increased by at least ten times, and the corpses around that had not been dealt with in time were all turned into food for the ritual.
In the next second, not only the essence and blood, but also the skin and flesh of those who lacked strength in the magic circle were all absorbed by 'Exter'.
This terrifying scene made the Black Flame monks who were participating in the prayer ceremony also fearful and kept retreating!
"not enough!!"
"You all, please come into my arms!!"
Following Exeter's extremely high-pitched roar, it was like an inhuman roar!
In an instant, the red light of the ceremony suddenly expanded and included all the black flame monks around. The next second, these black flame monks screamed, and all the flesh, flesh and skin on their bodies were sucked away, leaving only It’s a bloodshot skeleton!
It seems to have reached a certain critical value.
The red light no longer spreads, but shrinks rapidly.
Exter, who was originally spinning, now stopped quietly in mid-air. A low and inexplicable terrifying sound came out of Exeter's mouth.
"What a disgusting smell."
With a flick of his finger, a black beam of light as thick as a bowl shot straight into the defense formation of the Goddess Church. The leading disciplinary knight roared, but his hammer swing was a little slower to resist.
The extremely condensed black beam of light instantly penetrated his chest armor and came out through his back. The aftermath also penetrated several Templar knights behind him!
"puff!"
This disciplinary knight who was very similar to Brandur vomited blood and fell to his knees, but he still managed to support himself with the warhammers in his hands to prevent himself from falling!
Mid-air.
"Lord Ren, be careful, I'm about to land!" Fisher shouted, then quickly controlled the gryphon and swooped down.
Suddenly, Ren and others who were preparing to land discovered that the five black light pillars surrounding the administrative hall seemed to be attracted by some kind of force and were quickly gathering towards the center.
The next second, they merged into a huge black light pillar that was several times as thick as before.
The beam of light instantly pierced the top of the administrative hall and shot straight into the sky.
At the same time, the surging energy and shuddering terrifying aura that rushed towards the face could be clearly felt by everyone even in mid-air.
It took the full control of several gryphon knights to prevent the frightened gryphons under their crotches from losing control!
"No! Hurry up!" Brandul, the punishment knight on the other gryphon knight, seemed to have thought of something and urged.
From the top of the broken hall, Renne could clearly see the slaughterhouse-like scene inside, as well as his own personnel who were completely at a disadvantage.
"Brannar!" Brandur's pupils suddenly shrank!
Because he saw that his brother, the disciplinary knight Brannar, was kneeling on his knees at the moment, with a blood hole the size of a basin on his chest. The body remained standing because the other party was holding a handle tightly from beginning to end. The warhammers in both hands support the body.
Branduer didn't hesitate at all. He was so sad and angry that he immediately jumped down from a height of more than ten meters in the air!
The duke's advisor on the side intervened at the right time, which verified Renn's guess.
"That's Branduer's biological brother and his only living relative."
Renn looked solemn and nodded.
The two were silent for a moment, then quickly followed Brandur who was charging forward.
It’s such a feeling to see one’s relatives or even one’s only relatives die in front of one’s eyes
"Lord Branduer!" The surviving members of the church saw Branduer coming and stepped forward excitedly.
"Everyone, the goddess is watching everything here."
"Now, it's time to test your courage."
"In the face of powerful enemies, have nothing to fear!"
"., worthy of God's grace!"
As Branduer sang loudly, all the Templar knights, with excited faces, also sang loudly.
And every time Branduer sang a sentence, his whole person's momentum increased.
The five priests on the side looked at each other and nodded, their faces extremely solemn.
Immediately afterwards, several people started chanting spells and performing spells together.
I saw the palms of their hands facing outward, and a strong blue energy gathered half a meter in front of them.
The next second, five blue energy beams shined on Branduer at the same time!
Suddenly, Branduer's aura suddenly increased greatly, and he jumped from a quasi-legendary to a legendary level!
This immediately attracted the high-status being who occupied Exeter's body.
I saw the other party's indifferent eyes, glanced at Branduer, and said coldly:
"Just a stronger ant."
"It's really asking for death!"
A cold, unfamiliar word, as if there was no trace of human emotion, came out of the other person's mouth.
This made Ren instantly think of a term from his past life called the 'Uncanny Valley Effect'.
Although the other party spoke human words, the strange voice and intonation seemed to be some unknown creature imitating human speech, giving people a feeling of horror and fear.
Ren looked at the scene in front of him, and then looked around at almost all of his own combatants who were seriously injured, including Admiral Edward, Batista, Lemuel, etc.
He knew that at this moment, he could not retreat!
If he didn't want to see his family lying in a pool of blood like Branduer, then he had to do something.
Because once this monster, who does not know whether it is a human or an evil god, is allowed to take possession of the body, truly completes the ritual, then it is likely that not many people in the entire Munster will be able to survive.
Ren's thoughts moved slightly!
As if they had heard the call, the greyhound war dog ‘Cookie’, the trotting wildebeest ‘Blackie’ and the blood-feathered horned eagle beast ‘Blood Feather’ in Ryan’s mansion rushed towards Ryan’s current position.
Ryan drew out his two-handed warhammer and looked directly at ‘Exter’!
Most of the other party’s attention at this moment was focused on the legendary Brandor.
Brandor’s body was covered with a rich blue light, as solid as amber!
Facing the incoming black light column, the silver warhammer in his hand was pressed against the front of the black light column at the critical moment.
“Boom!”
One black and one blue, two powerful energies began to wrestle!
Although there were many Templar hymns and the divine blessing of five priests, Brandor’s situation was still very bad at the moment.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Every crisp sound meant that a Templar fell heavily!
Faced with such a fearless scene, ‘Exter’ obviously focused all his attention.
“Good opportunity!”
Instantly, the ground under Ryan’s feet suddenly shattered, and he was like a silver lightning, attacking ‘Exter’ in the center of the evil magic array!
With the blessing of the Force and the brilliance of will, the war hammer in Ryan’s hand broke into the energy-surging evil magic array like a broken bamboo.
“Hammer of Annihilation!”
The dark two-handed war hammer in Ryan’s hand hit the opponent’s black tornado, and immediately opened a small hole.
“Huh?”
‘Exter’ turned his head and looked surprised!
It seemed that he didn’t expect that someone could break his external defense.
“Soul-breaking impact!”
Instantly, an invisible wave hit the opponent directly!
“Ah!!!”
Instantly, the opponent screamed, which was extremely shrill, as if he had suffered great damage.
But the counterattack came instantly. The opponent's hands, condensed with extremely rich black light, hit Ryan's chest fiercely.
The magicized silver shield used by the witchcraft 'metal barrier' was broken in an instant!
The mithril carved breastplate was also broken at the touch!
Even Ryan's last 'high-grade steel body' still couldn't stop the opponent's attack!
"Crack!"
Ryan's sternum was completely shattered, and a bowl-sized bulge suddenly bulged on his back. The whole person was instantly knocked dozens of meters away!
After launching this attack, 'Exter' was not right.
His body twitched as if sifting bran, and that trace of majestic aura seemed to slowly disappear under the impact of the broken spirit.
Although the opponent's aura disappeared with Ryan's attack, Exter in front of him did not die, but was in a kind of.
How to say, a rather weird state of balance!
As a third-level crystal wizard, his own soul strength is not weak, but he encountered a sudden projection of a higher level, which made him unable to resist for a while.
But Ryan's move just now shattered a trace of the projection of the higher level, and at the same time, it directly damaged the original soul of Exter.
This caused the other party to be a little confused now.
However, Exter was still affected by some indescribable power.
"Flesh and blood!" He kept whispering.
"Flesh and blood!"
And his whole body swelled up like a balloon, and he acted completely on instinct, grabbing the survivors around him.
A guard was unfortunately caught by him, and in an instant, only a pile of bones was left, and blood, flesh, and skin were all swallowed up.
And Exter, now also became extremely weird, not to mention that his face could not be seen clearly, and his skin was bulging all over his body. It seemed that so much flesh and blood could not be filled in, but it was still stuffed in.
After a strange transformation, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge fat man who was four meters tall and three meters wide.
At this time, in a corner of the hall.
Where Ryan was knocked away.
A large hand wearing a silver plate glove reached out from the rubble and touched the huge greyhound war dog that suddenly appeared.
