Chapter 112: Level 3 Hero Professional [Sword of Brilliant Spiritual Light] (Two Chapters in One, Please Subscribe)
The powerful spirituality was like a tide, radiating in all directions with the body of the pale gold armored knight as the center.
When the spirituality spread to Ryan's body, the powerful spirituality and the weaker spirituality were in deficit, thus forming a "spiritual pressure".
Ryan stared at the burly knight who was still standing with his sword under the city gate with a solemn look, and a gray font prompt appeared in front of him.
["Iris Knight" Hansal Nicholson: 37 years old, 210 cm tall, the chief knight of the "Iris Family", third-level [Great Knight], mastered skills: Tidal Sea Great Swordsmanship (Mastery).
——You feel heavy pressure! ]
"Third-level [Great Knight]..."
Ryan's heart was heavy.
[Great Knight] is the third-level title of the "Soldier Path". Before that, they were [First-level Soldier] and [Second-level Warrior]. Although the title of the profession sounds very "simple", it does not mean that the "Soldier Path" is weak.
In fact, in terms of close combat on land, this profession is extremely powerful, and there are many general and exclusive secrets in the "Soldier Path", which leads to a huge gap between the upper and lower limits of the same-level professionals in this path.
More importantly, the "Iris Knight" in front of him is the second person Ryan has seen who has mastered the "Mastery Level" skill.
The previous one was Cecilia.
Even Ryan himself is still at the "Mastery" level of Storm Swordsmanship, and has not yet reached "Mastery".
According to Ryan's estimation, if Storm Swordsmanship wants to be promoted to "Mastery", he must at least wait until he masters the "Three-stage Power Accumulation".
For Ryan now, the hard conditions for mastering the "Three-stage Power Accumulation" have been met, and what is lacking is just a flash of insight.
"Mastery" level weapon skills greatly enhance combat power. Take Cecilia as an example. She was still at the first level in the past. With her "mastery" of thorn swordsmanship, she could easily crush several people of the same level. Ryan even suspected that ordinary second-level people might not be Cecilia's opponents.
From this point of view, the strength of the "Iris Knight" in front of him should not be underestimated among the same level.
A normal person would not think that there was any suspense in this battle between the third level and the first level.
But the two parties did not think so.
"Iris Knight" Hansal knew very well that the "Bloody Son" in front of him seemed to be only at the first level, but his combat power was exaggerated. He had received news that two second-level Libra Knights joined forces to attack, but they were easily shaken off. His strength was at least the limit of the second level, which was already very exaggerated.
In fact, since becoming a professional, Hansal has never seen a first-level professional with such amazing combat power. Even witches can only achieve this level, not to mention that Ryan is a man, not a witch, and such an "outlier" should not be taken too seriously.
On the other hand, Ryan also has different ideas in his mind.
Although his rank and weapon skill level are all inferior, he does not think he has no chance of winning.
[Spirituality] is only one part of his combat power, and it is not the main component. Most of his combat power depends on the terrifying [Physique] that is far superior to the second level and the various "trophy skills". As for the backward weapon skill level... In fact, his weapon skill level cannot be simply judged by the data on paper.
The acquisition of two "special combat skills" has enabled his weapon practice to break through the shackles of the original framework and start to walk a different path.
The third level is also called the "hero" professional.
The so-called "title" is because the existence of such strength is enough to determine the outcome of a small war, and is a "hero" in the eyes of the world.
Every "Level 3 Hero Professional" is very strong, but...
Who will win or lose, we have to fight to know!
The breeze blew across the earth, causing the dead leaves on the big tree on one side of the road to fall, falling into a shallow puddle on the ground, breaking the solidified water surface.
Seeing that Ryan had no intention of replying, "Iris Knight" Hansal lowered his eyelids: "Then, I will invite you personally."
As soon as the voice fell, his body disappeared directly from the spot.
"Clang——"
The clear and beautiful sound of the sword rang in all directions, and the strong sword wind even blew the branches of the big trees on the roadside to tilt to both sides.
Looking down from the sky, the area in front of the north city gate was accurately divided into two by a light golden stream of light, and the end of this dividing line was just where Ryan stood.
The highly condensed spirituality, like a pale golden torrent, formed a tidal whirlpool-like attraction as the greatsword in the hand of the "Iris Knight" fell from top to bottom, pulling Ryan's body, trying to force him to stay in place.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
At this moment, Ryan, who was in the middle, seemed to be really in the whirlpool of the sea, surrounded by layers of golden currents.
"Is this the 'Tidal Sea Sword Technique'? It's really interesting."
Ryan's eyes flashed with wonder.
When the pale golden greatsword was about to approach him, he stepped hard, his body burst forward, and at the same time, his right hand wearing a dark gold blood-patterned glove pulled out the greatsword behind him.
Ryan's step forward instead of retreating made the eyes of the "Iris Knight" slightly ripple.
Being in the "tide", it should be difficult for even a second-level extreme professional to move.
But soon, the waves in his eyes calmed down, and the speed of the pale gold sword in his hand fell further and heavier-no matter how Ryan did it, he had to take his sword first.
"Dang--!"
Silver-blue and pale gold, two different colors of swords collided in mid-air. The moment the two touched, Ryan and "Iris Knight" Hansal's faces changed.
Ryan felt that the layers of spirituality were like tides, continuously impacting his body. These tides were of different weights. The previous moment was slightly gentle, and the next moment it was like a hundred-meter-high wave overturning. This irregular impact forced him to step back one after another.
Hansal on the other side felt that he was not facing a human who was shorter than him, but a "giant" whose body size was far superior to his.
As a third-level [Great Knight] of the "Soldier Path", Hansal thought that his physical strength was already at the forefront among his peers, but at this moment, with just one collision, he fell into a disadvantage. If Ryan's spirituality was not too weak and was repelled by his spirituality, otherwise, Ryan would have further pressed his sword and he would have been at a disadvantage in an instant.
This is a pure crushing of strength!
The huge force forced Hansal to retreat back and forth, and each step left a clearly visible crack on the main bluestone street.
At a distance of nearly ten meters, the two looked at each other, and neither of them launched an attack at the first time, but observed each other's movements, trying to find a flaw.
After the initial confrontation, both sides realized that each other was difficult.
About ten seconds later, Hansal, for some reason, lost his temper first and chose to attack.
Knowing Ryan's strength advantage, this time he played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, no longer fighting hard at close range, but adopted other offensive methods.
Hansal raised his sword above his head, and a majestic spirituality rose from his body, like an endless tide converging on the sword, gradually forming a pale golden energy giant sword outside the sword, and the size continued to increase with the passage of time and the accumulation of spirituality.
The overflowing spirituality, like a vortex that kept spinning around the energy giant sword, tore Ryan's body and dragged it towards Hansal.
——The exclusive professional skill of [Level 3 Great Knight], [Sword of Brilliant Spiritual Light]: Consumes a lot of spirituality to form a huge spiritual sword, which has a significant penetrating effect on common protective gear, "shields", "barriers", etc., and has an extremely amazing destructive power.
There was a [Level 3 Great Knight] who used this trick on the battlefield to break the heavy city gate with one sword!
The increasingly strong spirituality made Ryan's skin feel a tingling sensation like a needle prick, which was his body's instinctive warning-if he took this sword head-on, he would die!
The pulling force was getting stronger and stronger. Even with Ryan's strength, he was pulled towards Hansal little by little, dragging two deep grooves on the ground.
After accumulating for about three seconds, Hansal roared, and the ten-meter-long pale gold energy giant sword slashed towards Ryan.
Facing such a life-and-death crisis, Ryan's eyes were still calm.
When the pale gold energy giant sword was only one step away from his head, he exerted force with his feet, held the big sword in front of him, and rushed forward.
In this process, blood-colored light appeared on the surface of his body and spread to the big sword in his hand.
When the pale gold energy giant sword was about to fall, its trajectory of slashing found a slight deviation and headed towards Ryan's shoulder.
"Dong--!"
When the pale gold energy giant sword touched the big sword in front of Ryan, which was filled with a faint blood light, it shook violently and was forcibly bounced back several meters away. Even the front half of the sword body had fine cracks.
——Special sword skills, [Defense collision]!
This scene caused Hansal's pupils to shrink sharply.
He had thought of many ways for Ryan to deal with it, but this one was the only way he didn't expect.
"What is this? Some unknown exclusive secret method?"
"What kind of secret method can allow a first-level professional to take on the exclusive ability of a third-level professional?"
Hansal couldn't figure it out, but at this moment he didn't have time to think about it, because Ryan's sword had already attacked him.
The perfect defense and parry in the "golden time", the blood and energy fed back allowed Ryan to complete a "charge" in a very short time.
Hansal, who held the pale gold energy giant sword high in both hands, couldn't spare his hands to defend and parry at this moment.
The shrill sound of breaking through the air indicated how amazing the power of Ryan's horizontal heavy slash was.
At the moment of crisis, the pale gold energy giant sword in Hansal's hand shattered, forming a huge spiritual current impact outward, but even so, it still couldn't repel Ryan.
The moment before the shock wave arrived, Ryan's body was once again lit up with a bloody glow.
——Special sword skill, [Attack collision].
Under the protection of the "blood film" formed by the "blood energy", Ryan directly ignored the impact of the spiritual current shock wave, and the greatsword in his hand slashed towards Hansal's neck unwaveringly!
"Bang!"
The smoke and dust rose up noisily, forming a rolling dust fog, intertwined with a large amount of light golden spirituality, making it difficult to see the situation at the center of the battle.
When the smoke and dust gradually disappeared, only a figure standing proudly in the center of the battlefield remained.
Ryan carried the [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower] on his shoulder, glanced at the gap on the blade, frowned, and then looked at Hansal, who was thirty meters away in front of him.
The "Iris Knight" looked very embarrassed at this moment - a huge gap was cut in the light golden armor on his shoulder, and blood mixed with light ice crystals continued to flow from the gaps between his fingers covering the wound.
A layer of shield that became extremely transparent and full of cracks appeared on the surface of his body, turning into pieces and falling down. When Ryan was about to hit him with a heavy attack, the ring on Hansal's finger opened. Although a powerful shield was shattered in front of the heavy slash and the armor was broken, it also bought Hansal time to retreat.
Ryan's breathing was a little rapid, and the use of two special sword skills in succession was a terrifying drain on his "blood energy".
In this short moment, he had already revealed two trump cards, but he still missed one move and failed to defeat Hansal. This made Ryan couldn't help but show a look of regret in his eyes.
But soon, he sorted out his emotions.
Although "Knight of the Iris" Hansal was wounded, the battle was not over yet.
…
Turning his head to look at the injury on his shoulder, Hansal's expression was extremely heavy.
He was actually injured, and the injury was in the hands of a first-level professional. No one believed it when it was reported.
Such a ridiculous thing actually happened to him.
From the rapid breathing of the "bloody son" Ryan on the opposite side, Hansal could tell that Ryan, who had used an unknown "special secret method" to resist his [Bright Aura Sword], was extremely exhausted at the moment and was in a very depressed state. Although he was suffering from He was injured, but it was at best a minor injury, not to the point of damaging his muscles and bones. If he continued to fight, Hansal was sure to win Ryan.
But what's the point?
The third-level hero professional and the first-level official professional need to win through injuries and a war of attrition. It is really too ugly...
He understood that he had already lost this battle.
"Tap tap tap..."
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the distance,
Ryan's expression changed.
There was "Iris Knight" Hansal in front of him blocking the way. If there were a few more Libra Knights chasing him, or even third-level professionals at the same level as Hansal, then he would really be in danger.
Thinking of this, Ryan's heart sank deeply to the bottom.
But what surprised Ryan was that Hansal on the opposite side also frowned after hearing the approaching footsteps, and then said coldly: "If you don't want to be captured by the people of the Libra Holy Cult, come with me."
After saying that, regardless of whether Ryan agreed or not, he turned and walked directly outside the North City Gate.
At this moment, Ryan's mind was racing.
"...The Iris family...the chief knight...the energy giant sword deliberately deviated from the trajectory before it fell during the previous battle..."
There are various signs that this [Third-order Grand Knight] named "Hansal" does not seem to be a member of the Libra Holy Cult, and he does not have murderous intentions towards him.
Based on the above considerations, Ryan quickly made a decision-to follow Hansal first.
At present, he does not know what kind of "tampering" has been done to him by the Libra Holy Cult, and he is locked in a "trace". In this case, it is undoubtedly a very poor choice to go back to find Freni and Cecilia.
The two Libra Knights sent from outside are both second-level elite professionals. It can be inferred that the scale of the Libra Holy Cult is so huge that it is not impossible that there must be a third-level or even higher level within its church.
Facing a religious organization of this size, even if Freine and Cecilia were brought along, there was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
Rather than dragging the two women into trouble together, it would be better to follow Hansal, the "Knight of the Iris".
Ryan always felt that Hansal appeared in front of him and intercepted one step ahead, as if he had a different purpose.
The lesser of two evils, at least so far, Hansal has not shown any obvious murderous intention towards him.
Before the footsteps approaching in the distance behind him, Ryan rushed forward and caught up with Hansal's back.
As soon as Ryan rushed out of the north city gate, he saw Hansal standing in front of a slowly rotating spiritual vortex gate: "Follow me."
After leaving these words, Hansal walked directly into the whirlpool door.
Ryan paused slightly, feeling the approaching aura behind him. He gritted his teeth and rushed into it.
The next moment Ryan's body was swallowed up, the spiritual vortex door collapsed. Except for the remaining footprints on the ground, the entire area was empty.
A dark silver stream of light rushed out of the city gate and came to the place where Ryan disappeared. He stretched out his hand, touched the air, and closed his eyes as if feeling something.
Soon, several more Libra Knights chased out of the city gate. They came behind the dark silver shadow and saluted respectfully: "The Third Judge..."
Wearing dark silver light armor, with three weights etched under the pale gold "Libra" mark on his chest, the young man slowly opened his eyes: "Teleporting strange objects at once, and also specially made an anti-tracking and shielding 'Holy Eye'" 's method."
"During this period, there are more and more interesting 'little mice' in Santos..."
…
His vision went dark and then brightened. When Ryan's vision returned to normal, he found that he was in a dark underground hall.
Several brass lamps were hung on the surrounding walls, and the orange-red candles burned quietly, reflecting the dark metal long table in the center of the room and the six chairs neatly arranged on both sides of the long table.
"Iris Knight" Hansal walked to the position marked with number "4" and sat down. At this moment, there were also figures sitting on the chairs marked with numbers "1", "5" and "6" on both sides of the long table, while the chairs marked with numbers "2", "3" and "7" were empty.
Ryan's eyes were solemn.
From the people sitting on the chairs with numbers "5" and "6", he felt the spiritual fluctuations of the third level, which were inferior to those of "Iris Knight" Hansal.
This means that these three people are all third-level hero professionals!
Because of the dim light, he could not see the specific faces of No. 5 and No. 6, but from the body shape and attire, No. 6 is a strong man who is not inferior to Hansal, while No. 5 is relatively slender, seems to be a female knight?
Ryan's eyes swept over the three people and fell on the slender figure wearing a mask sitting at the end of the long table, "No. 1".
"Who are you?"
The voice, neither loud nor soft, echoed in the underground hall, causing the candlelight in the corner to flicker a few times.
The answer to him was a gentle female voice with a magnetic touch:
"Bloody Son, Ryan Rayland."
"Welcome to the Overturned Hall."
