Chapter 319: Armor-Breaking Strike (Two Chapters in One)

Two hours later.

The head maid Shadiya anxiously walked into the study on the second floor of the villa and said, "Miss Claire, it's bad! Butler Yodel is missing."

"Shadiya, don't worry, take your time." Claire, who was reviewing official documents, frowned, stopped the feather pen in her hand, and looked up at her head maid.

"It's like this, Miss, butler Yodel made an appointment with me this afternoon to calculate the income and expenditure of the mansion this month, but I waited for a long time and he didn't come. He should have come back an hour ago."

"Just now I sent a guard to the mansion of Viscount Hamadi to inquire. But the other party replied that butler Yodel had never been here."

"Huh? I asked him to go to the mansion of Viscount Hamadi. According to Yodel's character, it is impossible for him not to go." Claire's face changed slightly when she heard the news.

"Have you sent someone to look for him? If he disappeared in the county town, there should be witnesses with so many people on the street."

"I thought so too. I just sent out a few more guards to look around."

Just as Shadiya was about to say something, a guard knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock!"

"Come in."

"Miss Claire, head maid! We found the mansion's carriage in a remote alley, but we can't find Butler Yodel and the guards, and even the coachman is missing." The guard reported.

"Has the carriage been retrieved?" Claire raised her eyebrows and said.

"It's retrieved. The carriage is in the front yard now."

"Okay, let's go and take a look now." Claire stood up and said.

It seemed that Claire's calm face made Shadiya no longer so flustered, and several people soon came to the front yard of the mansion.

And a luxurious carriage with the Kali bird logo was being guarded by four guards.

"Miss Claire!" The guards saluted and said.

Claire first observed the appearance of the carriage. It was intact. Some scratches could be seen as old marks, not new ones.

However, when she walked into the carriage, she suddenly smelled a faint strange smell, which made Claire slightly stunned.

Then, when she carefully checked the interior of the carriage, she suddenly found a trace of corrosion under the seat.

Claire poked the corrosion with a dagger, and the painted wood had been completely corroded.

Seeing this scene, Claire was thoughtful.

‘This seems to be the body fluid of some creature. ’

“Miss Claire, a guard is missing in the mansion!” The captain of the guards ran over quickly and said seriously.

“Huh?” Claire’s eyes immediately became sharp.

“Be on full alert, and the patrol personnel in the mansion will be increased from two to three people! In addition, mobilize a team of city guards to be responsible for the outer perimeter security.” A series of orders were arranged from Claire’s mouth.

"Miss, do you want to contact the Griffin Squadron immediately?" The head maid Shadiya still looked worried and said.

After witnessing the battle between Ryan and the ancient hero Monger, the head maid Shadiya knew very well that even if ordinary people were well-trained, when they faced enemies with strength far exceeding their own, it would not make much sense except for increasing casualties.

At this time, the only ones we can rely on are those extraordinary people!

"Well, contact the fishing port town and ask the Griffin Squadron to pay more attention to our movements. It would be best if the patrol frequency could be increased." Claire thought for a while, nodded, and said.

Not far from the Count Habsburg's mansion, on the top of a slightly smaller villa, a man in a black robe was looking at the slightly panicked Habsburg's mansion with a sneer on his face.

"Panic, dying man!"

"This is the appetizer prepared for you by Lord Icosela."

The man in the black robe looked at the setting sun and grinned even more.

"Night is the best flavor enhancer for panic."

In a remote alley, two black-robed men, one tall and one short, were walking.

"Lord Ecosela, you asked Digano to do this, aren't you worried that the other party will call for support?" The tall black-robed man asked puzzledly.

"Oh, don't you think this is interesting?" Ecosela chuckled.

"This is just the residence of a county governor, and there is not even a quasi-legendary master."

"Timshi, do you know? If you want to kill a nest of ants, you have to let all the ants that go out come back. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"

"This" black-robed man named Timshi glanced at Ecosela beside him, and said in his heart, "What a strange brain circuit, no wonder the nickname is Crazy Snake. '

"By the way, have you contacted Edmundo?"

"Sir, we have contacted Lord Edmundo. According to the last message, Lord Edmundo and his party have found the traces of the legendary earth snake."

"I think, with Lord Edmundo's strength, it shouldn't be too difficult to control the earth snake, and he should be able to reunite with us soon."

"Well, very good." Icosela nodded.

——

Near the entrance of the Blood Curse Naga Cave.

Near the coast.

Everyone is adjusting and resting.

After Anna treated everyone initially, her beautiful eyes looked at Ryan from time to time, who was thinking about something not far away.

For a moment, she found Ryan both familiar and strange.

Familiar because the other party is still the same as before, and the familiarity and tacit understanding when the two talked are still the same.

As for the unfamiliarity, it was because of strength. Ryan's strength improved too fast. She felt that even Aunt Delanna would not be Ryan's opponent now, but how long has Ryan entered the extraordinary?

It feels too unreal!

And the people on the side soon discovered that although this girl, who was not particularly beautiful, mastered rare natural witchcraft, seemed to have an inexplicable affection for Lord Ryan.

Because when the other party looked at Ryan, the light in her beautiful eyes, anyone could understand the meaning.

Since everyone was a sword holder, although there was a difference in level, they had met each other more or less in normal times, and they were familiar with each other. Seeing this, they couldn't help but whispered to each other with a smile.

After all, gossip about big people is a topic of conversation to relax after the war.

"Hey~ Angus, what is the relationship between that person and Lord Ryan?" A curious boy gossiped.

"Yes, I thought Lord Ryan liked the red-haired beauty in your team." Hearing the question, another person next to him also asked energetically.

"You mean Evelyn?" Angus realized it later and said.

"The key is how do you know that Lord Ryan doesn't like both of them?" another person said.

"This..." The first person suddenly felt that what his companion said made sense.

"Yes, if I had Lord Ryan's strength, I would take both if I liked them." After thinking about it, the young man touched his head, nodded, and agreed.

"Hahaha, you are dreaming!" The people around him couldn't help laughing!

At this time, Ryan was facing the boundless sea alone, thinking.

Ryan recalled the battle with Selenis.

He found that the "Soul Shattering Impact" at the beginning could be said to have locked him in the victory in advance.

The real damage bypassed the opponent's triple witchcraft defense and physical defense, and directly acted on the opponent's soul, catching him off guard and causing him to be seriously injured.

In other words, what he faced later was not a senior legendary strongman with intact strength, but a legendary strongman who was seriously injured.

"No wonder, it seems that the opponent's strength is not particularly strong." Ryan showed a hint of realization.

However, Ryan did not think that there was any problem with using the killer weapon "Soul Crushing Hammer" to gain an opening advantage and then kill the opponent.

After all, whether it is the way of knights or the way of wizards, he has only been in contact for a short time, and there is no fairness in fighting.

What Ryan is more curious about is the change in the system's description of blood.

At that time, after he upgraded the Fire Dragon Breathing Method to lv18, the Dragon Bloodline again showed a prompt of insufficient concentration, which means that he has to find a way to continue to obtain blood or egg liquid from certain dragons in order to improve himself.

In addition, the effect of Dragon Bloodline (weak level) has added the statement of "increased affinity with water elements".

"This is interesting."

"Could it be that because the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon is a water-based dragon, the system has absorbed the relevant gene fragments?"

"In that case, doesn't it mean that if I can find dragons or dragon-born creatures of different systems and obtain their blood essence, I can improve the affinity of all elements?"

"That would be amazing!"

However, soon, Ryan shook his head and gave up the idea that was a bit unrealistic for him at the moment!

"After all, I was able to obtain the sea dragon egg this time. There is a bit of luck involved. If I really want to obtain dragon blood or egg liquid, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

After thinking about it, Ryan still focused his attention on the newly upgraded Spear of Langilo.

It is already level 9. As long as it is upgraded a little more, then, relying on the talent of 'Intermediate Weapon Mastery', he can comprehend the mystery in advance.

Just as everyone was resting, Ryan didn't hesitate and immediately invested a few skill points in the Spear of Langilo.

With the investment of a few skill points, a flood of memories about the Spear of Langilo poured into Ryan's mind in an instant.

The system prompt also followed:

[Congratulations, you have comprehended the primary secret of the Spear of Langilo: Armor-breaking Strike! ]

"Armor-breaking Strike! Not bad!"

"Now, there is only one last extraordinary combat skill secret missing. Once completed, it will meet the requirements of the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'."

Ryan looked at the above prompt, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he was quite excited.

"One step away!" Ryan said with emotion.

At the same time, Ryan saw a new icon located directly above the 'Spear of Langilo' on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel.

The pattern in the icon is a tall man in full armor riding a warhorse, holding a long lance.

The man was riding a warhorse at high speed, and the lance in his hand was stabbing forward at a speed that could almost tear the air.

There are multiple wavy lines on both sides of the lance, indicating the turbulence of the airflow when stabbing.

At the lower left of the icon, there is a text description of the secret skill "Armor Breaking Blow":

Armor Breaking Blow (Primary Secret Skill) Effect: Use a special lance-type combat skill that combines the Force with piercing power to fire a shot with extremely strong penetrating power.

(Note: If there is a suitable mount to cooperate with the charge, the power of the armor breaking blow will be enhanced.)

(To upgrade the armor-piercing attack to the intermediate secret, the following conditions must be met: 1. Lance of Langilo lv14 or above (specialization can offset some level requirements); 2. Fire Dragon Breathing lv12 or above; 3. Strength 38 points, Agility 35 points, Constitution 35 points or above; 4. Consume 1 gold skill point.)

"Can the power be increased by the cooperation of the mount?" Ryan's eyes lit up.

"That's a good thing. Maybe I can try riding 'Little Black' first."

As Ryan's mind moved, he saw the hardened fine gold in his hand quickly transformed into a three-meter-long lance.

And the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' sensed the call of his master, and at this moment, he also trotted over and rubbed Ryan affectionately.

Ryan turned on the horse, holding the lance, and gradually accelerated towards a dark red reef several meters high on the beach!

After thousands of years of erosion by the waves, the surface of the reef has been smoothed out, presenting a pebble-like roundness. There are still many oysters, mussels and other shellfish attached to the surface, but this reef is actually very hard.

Ryan's unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the people who were adjusting.

"Look! Look at Lord Ryan, what is he doing?" A silver-level swordsman asked.

"Don't you want to use that giant reef to test the power of the lance?" Vieri looked in the direction where Ryan drove his horse forward and expressed his guess.

"It seems that this is the only possibility!" Angus thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Vieri's opinion.

"Hiss~ The hardness of this red reef is not ordinary. I'm afraid that my knight's long sword can only cut into a dozen centimeters with the blessing of the secret technique." The silver-level swordsman said.

Suddenly, Ryan controlled the trotting wildebeest to accelerate, which was to activate the innate ability of "Little Black" "Quick Step".

I saw a man and a horse, their agile figure was like an arrow from a bow, and they rushed straight to the reef with a 'whoosh'!

"Clang!"

But faster was the dark spear in Ryan's hand. The hardened fine gold spear body whistled because of the high-speed friction with the air. At the same time, the spear was like a black lightning, hitting the huge dark red reef!

"Boom!!!"

The collision point between the lance and the reef suddenly exploded into a circle of white air waves, and a small amount of gravel was splashed!

But the black spear in Ryan's hand had disappeared!

I saw that the black spear had already sunk into the hard red reef, leaving only a part of the handle at the end, and the reef did not fall apart, but was hit with a small round tube-shaped hole.

The powerful penetrating power brought by this high concentration of power immediately stunned everyone!

"Fuck! This power is too exaggerated! A lance over three meters long, the whole thing penetrated?"

"If this hits a person, the plate armor defense is probably as thin as paper!"

"Too powerful!!"

"No wonder Lord Ryan was able to kill that six-armed Naga, it's really amazing!"

All of a sudden, everyone was talking about it!

Many people, regardless of their injuries, ran forward quickly and came to the back of the reef to check.

"Hiss! It really penetrated!"

"Oh my God! The impact is too strong!"

Several people standing behind the reef, including Angus and Vieri, all looked shocked with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.

Ryan looked at the power of his previous attack and nodded slightly.

He was naturally satisfied with the power of the previous shot.

However, to be honest, the primary secret of the lance, 'Armor Breaking Blow', is not so exaggerated, but with the cooperation of the innate ability of the trotting wildebeest 'Xiao Hei', the inertia brought by the acceleration was poured into that blow by Ryan.

Therefore, it created an effect comparable to the intermediate secret.

"Unfortunately, Blood Feather is still a little bit worse, it should be fine after a while."

"Compared to the Griffin Knight, I will also be a Griffin Knight by then!"

"By then, if I perform a dive attack, the power of the armor-breaking blow should have a more amazing bonus."

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but feel good.

"My means of dealing with the enemy are becoming more and more abundant."

"Next, I can focus all my energy on the improvement of the last extraordinary combat skill - 'Roquedilo's Guardian Cane'."

However

Ryan looked around and found that everyone had adjusted almost, so he said: "Then let's return to the fishing port town first and have a good rest."

Soon, the group came to the nearby fishing port town imperial camp.

As expected, Ryan and his companions were warmly welcomed by an imperial major general in the camp.

At the welcome dinner, Ryan also met his old subordinate Connet.

"You said Veronica went to the South China Sea Fleet?"

"When did it happen?"

"Just this morning, Miss Veronica seemed to have written a letter to you, sir." Connet thought for a moment and said.

Ryan nodded, the letter should have been sent to Munster.

"Do you know what the reason is?"

"Well, it is said that Miss Veronica's mentor, Master Enius, the South China Sea Fleet consultant, was seriously injured and in critical condition."

"I know." Ryan couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

The sequelae of His Highness Dragon Knight Menia's return to the imperial capital began to appear.

Moreover, it seems that the Poseidon Cult has begun to launch an offensive.

"Sir Ryan, long time no see." The blond deputy captain of the Griffin Squadron, Viscount Felke, came over with a smile and greeted him.

"Viscount Felke, long time no see." Ryan raised his glass and smiled.

Just when Felke was about to say something to Ryan, a Griffin Knight walked over quickly and said:

"Sir Viscount, there is an urgent message from Count Habsburg's mansion, saying that they hope we can increase the frequency of patrols. It is suspected that there are enemies lurking in the county city and they will attack them at any time."

The Griffin Knight's report was very clear, which made Ryan narrow his eyes!

"Viscount Felke, can the next group of patrolling Griffin Knights take me to Count Habsburg's mansion first?" Ryan said.

——

Underground of Meister.

In a deep tunnel somewhere.

A handsome middle-aged man with four or five black-robed men was in the tunnel, heading deeper.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and several black-robed men stopped immediately.

"It should be here. I can smell the smell of the earth snake."

"Have you prepared the super-strong ice potion?"

"It's ready, Lord Edmundo! A total of 20 bottles of super-strong ice potion."

"Very good! You prepare the materials and formations for the ruling ceremony, and leave it to me." The handsome middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said.

"Yes, sir!"

A black-robed man placed a neatly arranged box of 20 bottles of light blue potions emitting strong cold air in front of the handsome middle-aged man.

As the middle-aged man chanted a short spell, a ball of ice emitting strong cold air suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then, around this tunnel with a diameter of about three or four meters, white frost began to condense on the rock wall, and spread in both the front and back directions at a faster speed.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of glass bottles breaking one after another rang out!

Bottle after bottle of super ice potion, the rich ice energy continued to merge into the ice ball in front of the middle-aged man, and the ice ball suddenly expanded, and at the same time, the white color was almost dazzling!

It seemed to have reached a certain critical point. Even he began to sweat slightly on his forehead. He pushed it gently!

"Go!"

Wherever the ice ball passed, white ice flakes quickly condensed on both sides of the tunnel. For a while, the entire tunnel was freezing at an unimaginable speed!

The handsome man, as an ice snake, one of the twelve secret snake messengers like Icosela, is a third-level crystal wizard. His main purpose of coming this time is to control the legendary earth snake.

The only weakness of the earth snake is fear of cold.

It's not that the cold will cause much damage to it, but it will make the earth snake enter a state of confusion, close to hibernation.

At this time, the legendary land snake, who was resting, felt a little cold all over. Just when it was thinking about whether to change places, its body instinct made it drowsy and soon fell into a deeper sleep.

After a while, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "You can perform the ruling ceremony."

Half an hour later, seeing that the ruling was successful, the five black-robed subordinates came forward and said:

"It really is worthy of Lord Edmundo, it is really amazing!".

"Yes!"

At this time, a black-robed man walked up from the back and said, "Lord Edmundo, a letter from Lord Icosela."

"Oh?" Edmundo took the note and read it casually.

"It seems that her brother's matter has stimulated her a lot. She found the murderer who killed Ganon and Holden so quickly."

"Start from the governor's mansion in the county city first, and then go to Munster?" Edmundo frowned when he saw this.

He instinctively felt that this plan was a bit too crazy.

Although the latest news from Tamriel showed that the Dragun Empire was in a precarious situation, Edmundo felt that wiping out all the staff of the executive mansion of a county was still too challenging for the Empire.

However, Edmundo changed his mind.

They had two missions this time. The first was to control the Earth Snakes, and the second was to avenge Ganon and Holden.

Icosela's decision could barely be considered as completing the second mission.

Okay, let her do it this time!

After all, losing her brother was still very painful for the "brother-supporting demon".

Thinking of this, Edmundo couldn't help laughing. He put down the note, waved his hand, and said:

"Let's go! We can just go and test the power of the Earth Snakes."
