Chapter 166 Apostle of Joy, Professional Compatibility 100!

Chapter 166 [Apostle of Joy], 100% professional compatibility!

The night breeze brushed the earth at dawn, bringing the chill unique to late autumn.

At the city gate.

The flowing shadows that enveloped this place became more and more turbulent and surging, like a vortex that was about to take shape, and the spiritual pressure contained in it gradually increased.

However, no matter how the shadow intensified, the young man in it was still not affected at all, as if the majestic spiritual pressure around him did not exist.

The eyes of the four black knights were extremely serious.

He could feel that the spiritual pressure he had launched had indeed affected Ryan on the opposite side, making his spiritual flow slow and difficult to mobilize.

In theory, normal professionals who were suppressed in this way would fall into negative states such as weakness, trance, and slow movement.

However, the young man with the great sword on the opposite side seemed to have felt nothing, and still walked towards him leisurely.

By the way, great sword? !

The eyes of the four black knights fell on the strange-shaped great sword in the other party's hand.

Just now, it was this great sword that blocked his attack to kill the black-haired swordsman, causing him to return in vain.

Although the collision of the weapons was only a moment, the four black knights were still keenly aware of the extraordinaryness of the great sword.

The black knight seat sword he held was carefully forged by the royal craftsman, and the grade reached the peak of the middle-level wonders.

But in the collision just now, he "heard" the wailing of his sword. In the past, he "heard" this kind of wailing on the opponent's weapon.

"High-level wonders..."

The voices of the four black knights were full of solemnity and disbelief.

What is the concept of high-level wonders?

Even for the fifth-level legendary professionals, it is not dared to say that everyone holds a high-level wonder.

Even in a member country of the Alliance of Nations like Augustus, high-level wonders are worthy of the title of "national treasures". Above that, there is only "national sacred artifacts".

With the status and achievements of the four black knights, they have never been rewarded with high-level wonders.

And now, a wanted criminal who should be in danger of his life and whose intelligence showed that he was only at level 2 at most, actually took out a high-level rare item? !

What an incredible thing this is.

But no matter how unbelievable it is, the reality is right in front of them, and the four black knights cannot afford any rebuttal.

Moreover, the four black knights at this moment have no time to think about it.

As Ryan took a step and the gap between the two sides got closer and closer, a strong sense of crisis emerged from the hearts of the four black knights.

It did not come from spirituality, but another kind of indescribable threat, as if they were in the bloody mouth of a giant beast, and the next moment, blood would splash on the spot.

In connection with the tremendous force transmitted from the opponent's sword during the collision just now, the four black knights knew that the person in front of them who was traveling with the Dark Moon Witch might have reached a level of "monster" in terms of physique.

In a sense, that person was no longer considered a human being.

"Huh..."

The four black knights took a deep breath. With this action, the shadows flowing in a radius of 100 meters were sucked to the center by the whale and gathered on the four black knights.

Since the spiritual pressure could not affect Ryan, there was no need to waste the spiritual pressure.

In fact, in a battle of the same level, the release of spiritual pressure is useless.

What really determines the victory or defeat is the real combat power!

"Boom!"

The distorted shadow power was like a giant torch that expanded, and then suddenly retracted. When the spiritual fluctuations returned to normal, the four black knights were already covered with a transparent black spiritual armor. It seemed to form a certain degree of passage with the black armor on the four black knights, and the transmission between them caused the four black knights to burst out a stronger spiritual fluctuation.

——The fourth-level exclusive ability of the black knight [Shadow Armor]: greatly improves the spirituality, physique and anti-strike ability of the black knight.

The black armor worn by the four black knights is called "Middle Black Knight Armor", which can cooperate with the skill [Shadow Armor] to make it more effective.

The eyes under the mask looked at Ryan's pupils, and the four eyes intertwined. The next moment, the figure of the black knight disappeared on the spot.

"Boom!"

The violently flowing shadow formed an alternative cold wind, sweeping over. At this moment, the four black knights had no reservations and entered the real "fighting posture".

His figure was like a ghost. When he moved, he left a series of illusory black phantoms, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. In just one second, Ryan was surrounded by black phantoms.

A fatal blow may occur at any time and anywhere, front and back, left and right, and all around. If the true bodies of the four black knights cannot be identified, then Ryan will fall into a great passive situation.

If you use spiritual perception, each of these black phantoms is exactly the same as the real body, and there is no difference.

In a dangerous situation, but Ryan's eyes are extremely calm.

He really couldn't tell which of these black phantoms was real and which was fake.

But he didn't need to tell them apart.

As he moved his mind, [Joyful Frozen Aura] was activated silently,

[Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword] was inserted into the ground in front of Ryan, he crossed his hands, supported on the hilt, closed his eyes, and seemed to have given up resistance.

Ryan's strange action made the four black knights suspicious and they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Time passed little by little.

In the end, the four black knights couldn't help but act first.

Ryan could wait like this, but he couldn't. Activating [Shadow of Illusion] consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If he continues like this, his spiritual energy will be exhausted first.

"Swish..."

At a certain moment, there was a very subtle tearing sound in the air, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ryan, and the knight's long sword covered with shadow fire in his hand stabbed Ryan's temple.

Ryan reacted quickly.

He seemed to give up the resistance and leaned on the sword, but he had already secretly completed the accumulation of power. When the four black knights appeared, his greatsword also slashed out, the speed was extremely fast, and there was no sense of heaviness that a heavy weapon like a greatsword should have.

The greatsword collided with the knight's long sword, and surprisingly, the knight's long sword turned into an illusory shadow and was directly pierced by the greatsword.

At the same time, another figure of the four black knights appeared behind Ryan and swung a silent sword.

The figure just now was just an illusion, and the one that appeared at this moment was the real body!

Ryan, who had already launched the slash, had no time to turn around and defend now.

The eyes of the four black knights were full of coldness, and the long sword slashed down heavily.

However, at the moment when his long sword was about to fall, a blood-colored core full of thorns appeared out of thin air on Ryan's shoulder. The next moment, the blood-colored barrier expanded and blocked his sword.

If it were just that, it would be nothing. It was just a shield-type ability. The four black knights had seen it a lot. The shadow fire attached to his knight's long sword had the effect of eroding, softening, and breaking the shield.

What really made the four black knights change color was that when his sword fell on the shield, an indescribable coldness swept over his whole body in an instant.

He could feel that his body, spirit...all the concepts related to "speed" had all declined significantly.

This terrible phenomenon made his expression change drastically.

"I caught you."

Ryan smiled.

With the blessing of 54 points of [spirituality], the "speed" of [Joyful Frozen Aura] has been reduced by a terrifying 37%, which has exceeded one-third of the total.

This huge speed difference will make the speed of the four black knights drop to a terrible level.

Twisting his waist and taking a step, Ryan pulled back the greatsword, drew a beautiful semicircle in the air, and slashed the four black knights who had no time to dodge and could only build a shadow shield in front of them.

"Crack!"

The sound of glass shattering continued. The "Shadow Shield" had almost no protective effect under the slash of the greatsword. After shattering the shadow shield, the greatsword's remaining momentum did not decrease, and it fell heavily on the chest of the four black knights.

"Bang!"

In the low roar, the body of the four black knights flew high like a pedestrian hit head-on by a speeding car. In the air, blood was constantly flowing under the mask on his face.

After flying dozens of meters, the Four Black Knights barely landed. He saw the broken [Shadow Armor] on his chest and the cracked [Middle Black Knight Armor] below, and his eyes twitched.

What kind of monster is this?

A sea monster transformed into a human body? Or a giant with the size of a dwarf?

The Four Black Knights were confused.

Raising his hand to wipe the blood from his chin, a fierce look flashed in the Four Black Knights' eyes.

Everything that happened before his eyes was beyond his expectations.

There was a huge deviation in the work of the Kingdom's intelligence department. The Kingdom's wanted criminal, Ryan Rayland, who was traveling with the Dark Moon Witch, was not at all as the intelligence said that he was only at the second level, or at most at the third level.

That was a "humanoid monster" that even he had no confidence in defeating!

And now that things have come to this, the only thing he can do is to give it his all!

"Hua..."

A sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Ryan appeared in front of the four black knights, slashing down from top to bottom with a great sword that had completed its power. Wherever it passed, the air trembled and wailed, and the spirits collapsed and fled.

At such a critical moment, the four black knights did not raise their swords to block, but raised their left hands that were not holding swords, and put their index and middle fingers together to touch their eyebrows.

The next moment, a black ripple expanded.

Wherever the ripples passed, the space was distorted, and Ryan, who was affected, was forced to pull away from the four black knights by a powerful thrust.

This is a dark shadow space in the shape of a cube, also known as the [Black Cage]. It is a special ability to deal with witches and individual strong men that the black knight can master after being promoted to the second level.

It is also the iconic ability of the black knight profession.

But what outsiders don’t know is that although the [Black Cage] is only an ability of a second-level profession, it is an ability that can be strengthened as the black knight’s profession is promoted.

Although this would sacrifice the Black Knight's career growth, the price he paid was the ability to trap the strong.

Just like now.

Being in the [Level 4 Black Cage], Ryan could feel that his every move, even his breathing, had a sense of sluggishness, as if in the invisible space, countless shadow hands were clinging to every corner of his body.

Not only that, as time went on, his [spirituality] was slowly decreasing.

Although the speed was not fast, it could not be stopped.

"Welcome to my hunting ground..."

Dozens of meters away, the bodies of the four black knights were suspended in the air about one meter above the ground, and countless surging shadows gathered towards his body.

At this moment, he was the master of this space, the uncrowned king here, and what awaited the "prisoners" like Ryan would be endless "torture" and "destruction".

Ryan did not speak, but took steps and walked step by step towards the direction of the four black knights.

In the past, he had seen Freni being pulled into the [Black Cage], and at that time, he could only wait anxiously outside the cage for the final outcome.

And now, he has become the one who was pulled into the [Black Cage].

The difference is that now he has the ability to create the ending himself.

The golden flames ignited from Ryan's body, mixed with the blood color, forming a unique blood-gold color.

This is the sign that he has entered the "third stage".

Looking at Ryan, whose momentum was rising rapidly, the four black knights' eyes condensed slightly. The next moment, countless chains made of shadows and engraved with complicated patterns flew from all directions, trying to lock Ryan in place.

Two "blood cores" appeared on Ryan's shoulders, and the blood-red "blood barrier" was opened to block the shadow chains.

Every time a shadow chain fell, ripples were spread on the surface of the blood barrier, and the color of the "blood core" was slightly dim.

Ryan's eyes fell on the four black knights and whispered: "It's time to end..."

As the voice spread, Ryan's body had turned into a blood-red stream of light and attacked the four black knights.

——[Special Sword Skill·Collision Attack (Blade Heart)]!

Under the subsonic attack, the invisible shadow hands that tried to hinder Ryan's actions broke one after another, and the blood-gold flames tore through the darkness.

The greatsword fell, and the four black knights mobilized the power of shadows to construct countless crossed sword blades to block in front of them, but these shadow blades were directly ignored by Ryan, who let them fall on him.

The "Hegemonic Blood Film" with a tougher "Blade Heart" isolated the attack.

"Dang!"

The violent shock caused the visors on the faces of the four black knights to separate and disintegrate, revealing a twisted and hideous face of a middle-aged man underneath.

"Ahhhhhhh——"

The four black knights roared, trying their best to resist the greatsword that was slashing down.

Ryan's face was indifferent, and the greatsword held in both hands exerted force again.

"Crack" made a crisp sound.

The knight's long sword could no longer bear the weight and broke into two pieces from the middle.

"Swish——"

The bodies of the four black knights were split in two by the sharp greatsword. At the same time, the [Black Cage] was broken, and Ryan returned to the world again.

Hundreds of meters away, the shadows flowed back and constructed the bodies of the four black knights.

His face was extremely pale, with deep fear in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran with all his strength, not even having time to remind the black knights who were stunned by the situation not far away.

From the time Ryan fought with the four black knights to now, it seemed very long, but in fact, not even a minute had passed.

Even Durrand was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Looking at the four black knights trying to escape, Ryan had no intention of chasing them.

He raised his hand, the dark gold blood-patterned gloves glowed, and a blood-colored spiral spear appeared in his hand.

Stepping, bending his waist, after a short period of power accumulation, the "Blood Spear" burst out.

The air exploded with layers of air waves. With the blessing of [Brave Strike] and [Storm Battle Body], this throw has exceeded the speed of sound.

Before the four black knights could run far, the "Blood Spear" arrived first, and with a "puff", it pierced his heart, leaving a hole in his left chest that was transparent from front to back.

The "Blood Spear" seemed weak and powerless in the face of the "Crown Monster", but it was extremely effective against humans who had not reached the legendary level.

The four black knights' forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, he staggered forward a few steps, and finally fell down powerlessly.

"Tap tap..."

Ryan came to the four black knights lying on the ground, his eyes were cold, and he swept the sword, and a head with eyes full of puzzlement flew up.

At the end of his life, the four black knights still couldn't understand-why, an ordinary man who had never mastered the forbidden power of "magic" would have a power that even he couldn't compete with?

But his question was destined to be unanswered.

The blood flower bloomed in the air, which also meant that the fourth seat of the Black Knights, a fourth-level extreme professional, a powerful black knight with the ability to hunt fourth-level witches alone, fell!

Ryan exhaled lightly.

To be honest, the battle with the four black knights was much easier than he imagined.

Among them, the newly acquired special sword skill [Blade Heart] played a decisive role.

This also made Ryan pay more attention to the ability of the charge type.

For "short-handed" melee professionals, the ability to quickly "rush" the enemy is really useful.

After defeating the four black knights, the prompt of the panel jumped out in front of Ryan.
