Chapter 318 The Death of the High Priest (Two Chapters in One)
"Dang!!!"
Ryan's hardened adamantium warhammer and the pair of short swords of the six-armed Naga collided heavily.
This time, Ryan was blown away several meters by the impact force, and although Selenis was not shocked back, her entire upper body also leaned back greatly, and the ground where the snake's tail touched was instantly cracked.
Obviously, she transmitted the impact force to the ground.
"Hu~Hu~"
Ryan gasped for breath, and white steam rose from his body!
Just now, he almost continuously used the secret, which consumed a lot of his physical energy, but his eyes became brighter and brighter!
In the previous battle, Ryan had added points twice in a row.
In other words, Ryan had recovered his physical strength twice, which was equivalent to two times, so he could fight with the six-armed Naga for so long.
The opponent's six arms can all participate in the attack, which puts unprecedented pressure on Ryan in terms of skills.
He had to control the three shields of the witchcraft 'metal barrier' to resist the attack that the war hammer could not resist, and at the same time, he had to use the secret.
But this was the first time that Ryan had fought such a match.
At this moment, there was a faint flame jumping in Ryan's heart, making his blood boil!
Unlike the ancient hero Monger and the Black Flame Cult High Priest Exter who was possessed, these two were all competing in strength in the end, but the one in front of him was not very strong, only slightly stronger than Ryan.
With Ryan's opening of the giant force and the blessing of the dragon bloodline, it was almost equal, and both sides relied on various melee skills.
For Ryan, this is simply a perfect sparring partner!
On the other hand, Selenis, at this moment, she looked tired, and the pair of arms holding the dagger in the middle were trembling slightly at this moment.
Obviously, the previous battle made her physical strength almost exhausted.
But even after using all her means, she still failed to take down the opponent, which made Selenis, who already had difficulty thinking rationally, extremely angry!
"Damn it!"
She began to wave her arm holding the short staff, and began to mutter something in her mouth.
In fact, if her soul had not been injured at this moment, the "Water Vortex" she was about to cast would have been almost instantaneous.
But now, she had to chant a spell to cast it.
"Ang!"
Ryan suddenly shouted a "dragon roar", interrupting Selenis's spell and causing the opponent to pause for a moment. Suddenly, two afterimages flashed out of Ryan, and his real body attacked the opponent from the side and back.
The two of them immediately engaged in a fierce close combat again!
And with Selenis's scream, more than 20 male blood-cursed Nagas who were blocked at the entrance of the forbidden gate by Angus and others, at this moment, like crazy, with red eyes, rushed in without fear of life and death.
This immediately made Angus and the others retreat step by step!
This retreat, even if they gave up the best and narrowest entrance, it was impossible to block the entry of the Blood Curse Naga!
Angus and the others were shocked, and Neoro immediately shouted at Ryan:
"Captain, we can't hold on! Be careful of the Blood Curse Naga rushing in!"
Ryan, who heard the reminder, looked out of the corner of his eye and saw more than a dozen male Blood Curse Nagas, all of them rushed towards him with injuries. This scene made him happy.
In order to avoid more trouble, Ryan had long wanted to kill the six-armed Naga in front of him as soon as possible, instead of dragging it on like this.
Unexpectedly, there was soul energy delivered to the door!
Ryan used his full strength to perform the shadow step, and in an instant, he appeared next to the five Blood Curse Nagas who had just rushed in. Almost at the same time, five different postures of hammer swinging figures appeared.
"Bang! Bang!"
After five consecutive hammering sounds like firecrackers, four of the five figures suddenly disappeared, leaving only Ryan's real body in the field, still swinging his hammer with both hands and smashing it down heavily.
And the heads of the five blood-cursed nagas exploded one after another, and they collapsed to the ground!
After repeating this once.
Nine transparent blood-cursed nagas, with long tail flames, circled around Ryan for several circles, and were sucked into the hammer in Ryan's hand.
"Undead witchcraft!" Selenis narrowed her eyes and was quite shocked.
The next second!
Ryan raised his hammer high, rushed towards Selenis quickly, and hit the opponent with all his strength!
"Dang!!!"
Blocked!
But before Selenis could be happy, she screamed again in her hands!
"Ah!!!"
It can block the 'Hammer of Annihilation', but it can't block the 'Soul-Crushing Shock'!
This 'Soul-Crushing Shock' caused the already injured soul of Selenis to be more seriously injured.
If it weren't for the extremely high strength of her soul as a senior legend, I'm afraid this blow would have killed her directly.
But at this time, she was like a madman, screaming in pain, and her six arms were dancing wildly!
This made Ryan not suitable to go forward and fight her hard for a while.
However, in a flash, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind.
I saw that the two-handed war hammer in his hand quickly changed into a lance more than three meters long, relying on flexible footsteps to attack from a distance.
Although the power of the lance is inferior to other weapons that have comprehended the secrets, and it cannot be compared with the hammer technique that has mastered the top secrets, it is relatively safe!
This is a bit like the feeling of using an explosion-proof fork to subdue the gangster in the previous life. Control the distance well to ensure your own safety, and then continue to attack.
After controlling the distance, Ryan continued to stab!
It seemed that because of the two consecutive "Soul-Breaking Shocks", the opponent's soul was severely injured, and the attack was completely disorderly. Ryan's lance hit every time.
At this moment, blood was constantly bursting out from the six-armed Naga whose defensive magic had disappeared.
It seemed to have become Ryan's lance teaching target!
The opponent's movements were getting slower and slower!
Ryan narrowed his eyes, and in an instant, he stabbed with all his strength, and the tip of the lance directly pierced the opponent's throat.
"Hehe."
Selenis's eyes suddenly widened, and she felt her life slipping away.
In an instant, countless memories flooded her heart.
"How could I die here? I'm so unwilling!"
"Clang!"
The sound of weapons falling to the ground sounded one after another, and the weapons held by Selenis's six arms fell one after another, and she also lowered her head and stopped moving.
"Hu~Hu~"
Ryan panted, recalling the feeling of the lance just now.
At this time, he felt a strong green energy lingering around him, and pieces of palm-sized green leaves were emitting green light and fell on his wound.
Ryan looked up and saw that it was Anna who was casting the spell. The fine beads of sweat on the other party's forehead showed that at this moment, Anna was also doing her best to cast the healing spell.
This made Ryan's heart warm.
And seeing Ryan looking over, Anna smiled sweetly.
Due to the bonus of the dragon's bloodline, Ryan's high-level steel body defense was further improved. Even when facing the attack of the six-armed Naga, the injury was not very serious.
And under the effect of Anna's "healing spell", it recovered almost quickly.
"Hiss~ This. This is too powerful!" Famore looked at Ryan who killed the six-armed Naga with a shocked face and said.
Batista and Remiel's tolerance is much higher.
Because both of them had seen Ryan's exaggerated fighting power, so after a little daze, they came back to their senses.
After shouting several times in succession, Neoro and others came over quickly and rescued Batista and more than a dozen trapped people.
Although everyone was injured and their fighting power was only one tenth of what it was, walking was not a big problem.
Batista and Remiel stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ryan to thank him:
"Sir Ryan, this time it's thanks to you again, otherwise, I'm afraid that several of us would have died."
Last time, it was Ryan who saved them here.
This time, it was still the same.
This made Remiel a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome, Sir Batista, Sir Remiel, this is my duty." Ryan waved his hand and smiled.
"Sir Ray Ryan, I am Famore, the captain of the silver-level team 'Broken Blade'. Thank you for your rescue this time!" A young man stepped forward and thanked him slightly restrainedly.
"Hello, Farmer." Ryan smiled and nodded.
After a brief greeting, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, everyone had time to carefully look at the empty cave inside the forbidden door.
Soon, everyone found that in the depths of the cave full of skeletons, there was a row of huge half-human-high eggshells that had long been broken. Then, they saw the eggshell that Ryan crushed and was wet with egg liquid.
This made everyone look at each other in surprise.
"Could this be the egg of the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail?" Remiel said in shock.
He was able to quickly identify the origin of these eggs because he was an eyewitness to the fierce battle between His Highness the Dragon Knight Menia and the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail, and naturally knew the general situation in the Blood Curse Naga Cave.
"Well, it should be." Ryan nodded.
Hearing Ryan's affirmative answer, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
"Hiss~ The egg of the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail!"
"How powerful it would be if it hatched!"
"You wishful thinking, don't you think about how long it takes for a three-headed sea dragon to grow? It is estimated that when it grows up, you will also be buried in the ground."
"That's right"
For Ryan, with the system prompt, he naturally knew that this was a sea dragon egg.
However, he didn't see the row of sea dragon eggs that had been broken before.
Immediately, Ryan fixed his eyes on the sea dragon egg he had just crushed.
I saw that under the cover of the white bones, the sea dragon egg he crushed was extremely hidden.
Perhaps, this is why only this sea dragon egg can be preserved?
"It's such a pity that the last three-headed sea dragon egg with a magic tail was also broken. Otherwise, there is still a chance to cultivate it into a battle pet." Neoro couldn't help but sigh.
"It's unlikely. The Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon is wild and difficult to tame. Unless you, as the master, can always crush the opponent with your strength, otherwise, it is easy to defect." Remiel explained on the side.
"I can't do it, but the captain should be able to do it." Neoro glanced at Ryan and said to Remiel.
"This"
This made Remiel not know what to say all of a sudden.
Saying that Ryan's strength is not as good as the three-headed sea dragon?
This is hard to say, not to mention that Ryan saved them.
To be honest, Ryan has the current strength at this age, and it is really possible that he can suppress the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon in terms of strength.
Ryan looked calm, after all, the essence of the sea dragon egg had been absorbed by him, and it was also maximized.
The most important thing is that through this 'egg baptism', he obtained far more important information than just a battle pet.
At this time, the group of people had arrived next to the body of the six-armed Naga. After carefully looking at the body shape and characteristics of the other party, Lemuel said to Ren:
"Sir Ren, this six-armed Naga has the combat power of a senior legend or even a peak legend according to the records in ancient books. Moreover, the opponent is a female. There is a high probability that he is a priest or even a high priest in the Blood Curse Naga clan."
"Oh?" Renn glanced at the six-armed Naga's body again.
This confirmed his previous guess. After all, with such strength, he should be either the clan leader or the high priest.
"The Blood Curse Naga clan is headed by a female, and the high priest's position is above that of the clan leader, so it is all held by female Nagas." Remiel added.
"That's right. I've also seen relevant records in ancient books." Neoluo agreed.
"Captain, come and see, there is a letter on the other side." As a follower of Rennes, Vieri was naturally responsible for helping Rennes collect trophies. He held up a letter and signaled.
Ren took it and looked at it, with a surprised look on his face, and said, "Huh? It's actually written in common language, shouldn't it be Naga language?"
"High Priest Selenis, please organize outposts to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack."
"He is indeed the high priest."
"Furthermore, this is a letter written by Poseidon to this person named Selenis."
After Ren read it, he handed the letter to Lemuel who was standing aside. He himself was thoughtful and quickly outlined the general outline of the matter.
The other party's purpose of returning to the forbidden door this time should be twofold.
One is to hatch the devil-tailed three-headed sea dragon egg that somehow managed to survive; and the other is probably to respond to the request of the Poseidon Cult and cooperate with the other party to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
It seemed that he had to convey this news to the navy and the sword holder immediately to facilitate the decision-making by the higher-ups.
"Evelin, please contact the branch immediately and inform Lady Olena of this letter and the situation of the rescued people."
"Okay, Captain." Evelin took the letter and quickly stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.
"Let's get out of here first." Ren greeted.
Naturally, everyone had no objections and quickly followed Ren towards the entrance of the cave.
Along the way, Batista and Renne were talking about something:
"Originally, we were in Meist to guard against the members of the Secret Snake Cult who had just appeared. However, after receiving information about the situation here, we immediately came here."
"Huh? What are the people of the Secret Snake Cult doing now?" Renn's heart tightened upon hearing this.
"They scattered around, seemingly looking for something, and did not launch an attack against the empire." Batista said.
"It seems that they are most likely looking for traces of the ancient legendary snake." Renn nodded and said.
"Legendary farming snake?" Batista was obviously stunned when he heard this.
"Um."
Ren immediately briefly told Batista what happened before.
At this time, everyone realized that Lord Ren in front of them had actually completed such an awesome mission. Not only did he encounter the legendary Farming Snake, but he also killed a chief priest of the Secret Snake Sect, plus a Officiant.
"However, after the other party controls the Earth Snake, will he leave Meiste honestly?" Vieri couldn't help but ask.
"Most likely not. It should be the moment they launch the attack." Renn thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Captain, in that case, what are we waiting for? Find and kill them first. We can't let them control the legendary land snake and then passively defend." Vieri suggested from the side.
"Well, that's what I planned too. It seems we have to return to Meister County as soon as possible." Renn naturally thought of Claire.
If the other party chooses to directly attack Earl Habsburg's mansion, it will be difficult for Claire to resist, even if Claire has now reached the level of a great knight.
The reason is simple. Even the High Priest Ganon he killed last time was no match for Claire if she was one-on-one.
But this time the opponent came prepared, and the manpower dispatched would naturally be stronger than Cannon's.
"Your Excellency Renn, I'll ask Lemuel and the others to stay and help. They have tracked those Secret Snake Cult members and will have some experience." Batista knew his physical condition and didn't want to stay. There is no fighting power at all, so he suggested.
"Of course that's the best." Renn nodded.
Soon, the group of people walked out of the cave, and the guards at the door were naturally overjoyed and exchanged warm greetings.
After Anna regained her mental strength a little, she began to quickly bandage the wounds of the injured people and use the 'healing touch'.
‘Healing Touch’, as the druid’s entry-level witchcraft, consumes much less mental power and is more suitable for the current situation.
Renn took the time to check the system prompts:
[Congratulations, your skill Longelo's Spear has been upgraded to lv9]
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 12 gold skill points! 】
[Congratulations, your will (hidden) attribute has been improved! 】
[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legendary) career level has been improved! 】
Since the Weapon Master (Legendary) career level was close to being upgraded last time, this time it was naturally upgraded to level 10 (991/20000).
This gives Wren one skill point and one attribute point.
Including his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 6 points, the remaining skill points are 3 points, and the gold skill points have reached 22 points.
Renn glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 47
Strength: 54 (3 points of strength are added during battle)
Agility: 47
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 9
"The willpower has increased by 2 points?" Renn looked surprised.
"good!"
"In this case, we are only 1 point away from reaching the 10-point mark of will."
Ren felt it carefully again and found that the evil flame mark had very little influence on him.
Sure enough, one's own strength is always the best thing to rely on.
"Huh? Longelo's gun has been upgraded to level 9?"
"Then doesn't this mean that I can now directly improve by adding points and understand the secrets!"
In an instant, Ren's eyes lit up and his face looked happy!
——
Mayist.
The gate of Earl Habbs's mansion.
Butler Yodel, accompanied by a guard, hurriedly walked out and got into a luxurious carriage with the Kali bird icon on it. Immediately, the groom drove the carriage forward.
However, the carriage didn't take more than two steps when it was stopped on the street by a graceful female figure in black robes.
The other person was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Xilulu!"
The groom had no choice but to rein in the reins, and at the same time, he shouted angrily: "You don't want your life!"
"Excuse me, is that the Yodel housekeeper inside?" A magnetic female voice said. When the groom and the guard heard it, they felt their hearts tingling, and they had an inexplicable liking for the black-robed woman.
Therefore, even if they saw the woman in black robe walking towards the carriage, the two of them did nothing to stop her.
"You are." Yoder looked confused and looked at the stranger in front of him.
The woman in black robe slowly lifted up her hood, and a beautiful face appeared in front of the housekeeper Yoder. A pair of deep eyes flashed with a psychedelic light.
Butler Yoder felt his eyes blurred for a while, and then his eyes showed a confused trance.
At the same time, two tall men in black robes suddenly appeared beside the coachman and the guards.
Just when the two of them felt something was wrong, they heard a hissing snake breath coming from the body of the man in black robe.
The next second!
Two python-like creatures, with their mouths wide open, suddenly poked out from the black-robed man's wide sleeves. In an instant, the coachman and the guard were swallowed, and they didn't even have time to scream.
After the woman in black robe also got into the carriage, the two men in black robe quickly controlled the carriage and drove towards the remote alley in the distance.
"Yordel, tell me how the young man who controlled the giant snake died some time ago and in whose hands he died." The woman in black robe sat in the carriage and asked sideways.
"As you command, my lord!"
In Yoder's eyes, the person questioning him at this moment was the respected Earl Habus.
As for why Earl Habsburg appeared in front of him, he didn't know, and it seemed that he didn't want to think about overly complicated issues.
Just listen to Yoder telling the whole thing in detail like an instinct!
"very good!"
"Then you are useless now." The woman in black robe said calmly.
"Huh?" At this time, Yodel's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he also heard the last words of the woman in black robe.
Just when he was still thinking about what the other party meant, suddenly, a bloody mouth bit him from the top of his head!
Yoder only felt a tingling pain all over his body as soon as it got dark, and he knew nothing else.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped in a remote alley, and two men in black robes immediately entered the carriage from the coachman's position.
"Special Envoy of Ixela!" The two men bowed respectfully.
"Now the situation is very clear. My brother was killed by an imperial swordsman named Renn during the attack on the Habbs Mansion."
"Special Envoy Ixela, what do you mean?"
"Now that guy named Renn has returned to the Munster Swordsman Branch, but my brother's death is inseparable from this Count Habsburg. I want everyone in the entire mansion to be buried with him. !”
"Then I'll go to Münster again"
"Sir Special Envoy, look at this. Should we wait until Lord Edmundo finds the Legendary Farming Snake? After all, the Pope's order is to let..." The man in black robe considered his words, seeming a little afraid of the man in front of him. .
"Hmm"
I saw a white arm grabbing the black-robed man's neck, instantly making it impossible for him to say anything else.
"What I hate the most is someone using the Pope to suppress me!" The white fingers kept applying more force, as if they were going to break the other person's neck.
Another man in black robe quickly bowed respectfully towards Ikosela and said:
"Please calm down, Special Envoy Ixela. If you attack Earl Habus's mansion now, the possibility of directly destroying the opponent is not high. Because there are only three of us, someone from the opponent will definitely escape. And you see."
Um?
Ecosela followed the direction of the man in black robe and looked at the sky through the car window, only to see two small black dots flying one after another over Meiste.
With Ikosela's eyesight, he could clearly see clearly that the two small black dots in the sky were two Imperial Griffin Knights.
"So, when Lord Edmundo leads the legendary land snakes to join us, I think we can guarantee that everyone in the Count Habsburg's mansion will have no chance to escape and will be completely destroyed."
"Waiting is for a better result."
"Very good! You convinced me! Then I will wait for two more days." Icosela nodded and let go of her hand. With a "thump", the first black robe who spoke fell heavily to the ground and breathed heavily.
The black robe's face had turned purple. After looking at Icosela with horror, he lowered his head and dared not look at the other person directly.
This woman, nicknamed "Crazy Snake" in the church, is one of the twelve secret snake messengers whose status is even higher than the high priest, second only to His Holiness the Pope, and has the ability to independently offer sacrifices to the great Devouring Snake.
"Holdan, my dear brother, sister will kill all the murderers who killed you one by one." Icosela whispered.
Although these words were not said to the two elite members of the Secret Snake Cult next to them, they could not help but feel a chill on their backs. They looked at each other and saw a trace of pity in each other's eyes.
Of course, this was pity for the person who killed Holden.
Everyone in the church knew that Holden's sister, Icosela, was a super "brother-supporting demon". Even if they were high-ranking high priests in the church, if they had unpleasantness with Holden, they would be directly asked by Lord Icosela to explain.
It is conceivable how miserable the enemy will die this time!
Moreover, they also heard about this incident.
Some time ago, Holden followed the high priest Ganon of the Nome Province to come to Munster to perform a mission. This was actually a "gilded" trip arranged by Lord Icosela.
The purpose was to accumulate qualifications and facilitate future promotion.
But who would have thought that the original "gilded" trip would cause Holden to die in Munster!
This made Master Ecosela, who was a ‘brother-supporting demon’, both sad and angry.
Now that the murderer was known, no one could stop Master Ecosela’s anger.
