Chapter 169 [Sacred Relic Azure Medal], Sublimation and Transformation! (I)

The 1st Azure Medal], sublimation and transformation! (I)

The strong wind at dawn made Ryan squint his eyes comfortably.

While heading to the depths of the Rotten Miasma Abyss and the habitat of the ancient dragon-corpse dragon, Ryan took stock of the preparations for this crusade.

There is no difference in weapons and protective gear, so I won’t go into details here.

The difference is that this time, Ryan’s various skills have grown significantly.

First, it is the [Tide of Pain] of the "Apostle of Joy".

The [Tide of Pain] that reaches 100% fit, that is, 100 points of pain value, can bring Ryan 100% [Spirit] and [Physique] blessing, making his [Spirit] reach an astonishing 62.6, which is the level of entering the peak of the fourth level.

With the [Physique] of 223.1, Ryan is stronger than the last crusade in terms of the basic panel.

Secondly, it is the special skill - [Dragon Power]. When he was fighting the corpse dragon before, this skill was only "mastered", but now, it has reached the "master" level. The additional "+2" strength judgment is a big improvement for Ryan.

Coupled with the 20% damage blessing of [Secret of Fire Field lv.2], Ryan believes that he will block the attack of the corpse dragon with his weapon again. Even if he is repelled, he will not be easily repelled hundreds of meters like before.

Not to mention, there is [Root Reversal lv.2], which gives him a chance to turn the tables.

Compared with the last crusade, this time, Ryan is stronger, more prepared, and has a more comprehensive understanding of the corpse dragon. In addition, Dayin's long-range raid formation, this wave must be taken!

Ryan is full of confidence.

Ahem, if it doesn't succeed, just pretend he didn't say it.

Not long after, Ryan, riding a shark, arrived near the habitat of the ancient dragon-corpse dragon.

Looking at the fine gray mist in the air ahead, Ryan exhaled lightly and jumped off Dayin's back.

"Bang."

The ground was splashed with smoke and dust. Ryan walked forward and reminded: "Dayin, pay attention to your distance later, don't be affected, and support me when necessary."

Dayin nodded vigorously.

It was not the first time that one man and one shark cooperated. Ryan was still confident about Dayin's combat acumen.

Feeling the lingering ancient dragon's dragon power in front of him, Ryan did not hesitate and stepped into it.

Perhaps due to the influence of yesterday's battle, the corpse dragon was not unfamiliar with Ryan's breath. Therefore, the moment Ryan stepped into its territory, the corpse dragon appeared from the gray mist.

The red dragon eyes met the indifferent human eyes.

The corpse dragon's eyes showed obvious surprise.

I had killed this life form that injured me yesterday, so how come he appeared in front of me intact after only one day?

The long-lost injury left a deep impression on the corpse dragon.

But soon, the corpse dragon's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If the opponent dared to come again, it would kill him again.

When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.

"Roar--"

The earth-shaking dragon roared, and the rolling gray-white mist surged and expanded violently.

The next moment, a stalactite ten meters high that fell to the ground was blown away by the corpse dragon's tail, tearing through the layers of mist and attacking Ryan.

"Boom..."

The air made a dull whine, Ryan's face was solemn, and he swung the sword forward.

The crescent-shaped sword energy came out of the sword, splitting the boulder into two, and exploding a large amount of gravel and dust in the air.

Before Ryan could take the next step, an energy column composed of miasma penetrated through the smoke and dust and reached Ryan directly.

"Wow..."

The miasma column collided with the expanding blood barrier, radiating circles of gray-white dust with the contact point as the center.

After using the blood barrier to block the initial impact, Ryan began to sprint at full speed, away from the range of the miasma impact.

The corpse dragon's red eyes seemed to be unaffected by the miasma, firmly locked on Ryan who was moving quickly, and the miasma column followed him like a shadow.

The blood barrier turned gray little by little, and Ryan knew that if he continued like this, he would be eroded by the miasma emitted by the miasma column before he could get close to the corpse dragon.

After the last battle, the corpse dragon seemed to have noticed the [Gospel], adhering to the principle of long-range as long as possible, and tried not to have physical contact with Ryan.

Sleeping in the land of death and miasma for a long time made the corpse dragon's mind turn a little slow at the time of the first battle, but this did not mean that the corpse dragon was a fool.

Realizing this, Ryan's eyes became heavier.

Now, if he wanted to add the "Mark of Gospel", he could only force the corpse dragon to make physical contact with him through close combat.

But before that, he had to interrupt the corpse dragon's miasma column pursuit.

Ryan stepped on the ground, and a "blade heart" in his body was consumed silently. In an instant, a rich blood color surged on his body, turning into a sweeping blood shadow, reaching the front of the corpse dragon.

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

Last time, Ryan relied on this move to leave deep scars on the corpse dragon.

The corpse dragon, which was impressed by this, naturally took precautions against it.

The miasma contained in its dragon claws suddenly exploded, turning into a circle of circular shock waves, trying to force Ryan back while launching the "miasma field".

If it was a normal attack, the corpse dragon's response would naturally be no problem, but the existence of the "tyrant blood membrane" made Ryan ignore the impact of the miasma.

A bloody spiral spear engraved with magnificent patterns approached at supersonic speed and hit Shilong's chin hard.

Although the blood spear disintegrated into countless fragments the moment the two came into contact, the huge kinetic energy impact carried by the spear forced the corpse dragon's head to rise slightly.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ryan rushed under the corpse dragon's body, adjusted his direction, and began to accumulate strength.

During the sprint, he had already taken the opportunity to complete the "stage of energy accumulation". Now, he only had to start from the second stage to accumulate energy.

With the blessing of [Concentration Technique lv.5], Ryan's charging speed is very fast. When the corpse dragon recovered from the impact of the spear and lowered its head, Ryan, who was hiding in the blind spot of the corpse dragon's vision, also completed the "True Accumulate strength."

"ha!"

With a loud roar, the great sword wrapped in spiritual flames slashed out angrily, hitting the corpse dragon's chin hard.

"Boom——!"

[Dragon Power (Master)] + [Secret of the Fire Field lv.2] brings a large additional damage bonus, making Ryan's sword more powerful.

In a low collision, the corpse dragon's head was raised high, and the silver-white skin on the chin and even the white bones under it were widely broken.

The trauma to his jaw made the corpse dragon feel frightened and angry. At this time, the surrounding "miasma field" had taken shape. As the center of the field, where the corpse dragon was located, the miasma was the richest among them.

Ryan could feel that his body was gradually weakening under the erosion of the miasma, but he did not panic. He had already anticipated the scene at this moment when he rushed under the corpse dragon.

The purple flame burned on Ryan's body. It was the flame called "joy".

——[Happy Flame Aura]: Fire and whipping create joy. Any enemy that attacks you or you attack will fall into a "real burning" state, which lasts for (S/10) seconds. During this period, "healing" abilities can only be effective for one-third, and the vitality, physical strength, and spirituality will be affected every second. Lose 1%. This state has extremely high priority and cannot be removed unless the user's "purification" ability exceeds the third level or above.

The purple flame is tangible and intangible and cannot cause direct damage to the tiny creatures that make up the miasma. However, it can quickly roll back along the miasma to the corpse dragon's body, causing it to fall into a "real burning" state.

An irreducible 1% loss of vitality, physical strength, and spirituality per second, lasting for 6 seconds.

The pain caused by "real burning" seemed to be particularly intense, and even the corpse dragon couldn't help but let out a painful scream.

Taking this opportunity, Ryan opened his mouth and swallowed an [Elimination Fruit] to dispel the miasma and eliminate the body's weakness. He walked to the side of the corpse dragon, raised his sword and continued to accumulate strength.

"Ding - Ding -"

The two stages of charging were completed in one go. Just when Ryan was about to perform the "third stage of charging", the corpse dragon had already recovered from the pain of sudden "real burning".

It was so furious that it directly detonated the surrounding miasma, producing a terrifying power similar to a "serial dust explosion".

The earth cracked and trembled, and the large stalactites at the top of the cave broke and fell one by one. For a moment, it seemed like the end was coming.

Ryan couldn't escape such a large-scale attack, and he didn't want to.

The last "Blade Heart" is consumed, [Special Sword Skill - Defensive Collision (Blade Heart)] is activated!

The surface of the thickened "Hegemonic Blood Film" was covered with dense cracks, but in the end it was able to barely block the damage from the "Miasma Explosion". The feedback of blood energy helped him directly complete the last two stages of charging.

"Really charge up a strike, kill!"

Ryan's legs exerted force, and he jumped up high. The sword struck the corpse dragon's head hard, making a "dang" sound.

The corpse dragon's head was smashed into the ground, and Ryan's body flew backwards for more than ten meters under the effect of the counter-shock force.

Ryan did not continue to attack, but took the initiative to retreat, keeping a distance of tens of meters.

At this distance, he will still be affected by the miasma, which will continuously refresh the duration of the "real burning" on the corpse dragon. At the same time, he is also slowly recovering the "blade heart" in his body.

The upper limit of "Blade Heart" is two. In addition to consuming a lot of blood, it also takes at least a minute to condense each one. Various restrictions make the number of times that "Blade Heart" can be used in a battle very limited. .

"Huhu..."

The violent wind roared, and under Ryan's gaze, the corpse dragon stepped out with faint purple flames all over its body.

"Real Burn" and two heavy blows caused the corpse dragon to fall into a state of rage. Such injuries had never happened in its long life.

It took a deep breath, and the surrounding miasma began to gather towards its location. The roaring wind made Ryan narrow his eyes.

This series of changes happened so fast that before Ryan could stop it, the corpse dragon had already shown a brand new attitude.

The color of its body covering becomes darker, and it is covered with sporangia formed from white spores, emitting a dark gray-white, obviously more corrosive miasma.

Strong pressure swept over him, making Ryan's heart beat faster.

"Is it a stronger posture? Or is this the corpse dragon's true form?"

Ryan speculated in his mind.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, because the corpse dragon in the distance had already launched an attack.

A pillar of miasma spewed out. Different from the previous pillar of miasma, this time, the pillar of miasma was not only faster, but also had small sac-like structures inside.

Ryan activated [Food War·Slashing Sword Dragon's Sorrow] and moved quickly to dodge the miasma column. However, after landing, the small capsules in the miasma column exploded one after another, forming one "gray-white flower" after another, with a radiation range of ten meters.

The erosion was far more than the previous miasma, causing Ryan's condition to drop sharply.

Such a change made Ryan's heart heavier.

He swallowed a [Elimination Fruit]. However, to his surprise, a [Elimination Fruit] could not eliminate this more severe erosion. It was not until Ryan ate the second one that the erosion of the miasma was eliminated.

"I can't go on like this!"

Ryan said to himself, and then his eyes became fierce.

"Good news, explode!"

"Boom!"

The dark purple lines crawled all over the corpse dragon's body, and a large amount of real damage erupted from the inside out, directly interrupting the corpse dragon's miasma column.

Taking this opportunity, Ryan rushed forward, but just as he was about to approach the corpse dragon, he saw the dragon wings behind the corpse dragon flap violently.

The seemingly broken dragon wings, however, caused a howling wind with a large number of white cysts.

Ryan, who had seen the power of "cysts", knew that the best choice at this moment was to step back and avoid its sharp edge.

But he also knew that once the corpse dragon recovered from the "joyful explosion" and continued to spit out the miasma column, it would be difficult for him to get close again.

So, he was ruthless, propped up the "blood barrier", burst out with strength, and resisted the gust of wind. Instead of retreating, his body advanced and came to the side of the corpse dragon.

Blood continued to flow into the [Holy Relic·Embrace of Blood], allowing Ryan to enter the strongest "third stage".

[Storm Battle Body], [Brave Strike]...

Ryan activated all the skills he could use, and his surging spirituality made him look like a large torch expanding from afar.

"Thump-thump-thump-thump"

The three stages of charging were completed, and the corpse dragon seemed to have sensed the danger. Countless white spores on the surface of its body fell off one after another, and exploded before they landed on the ground. At the same time, it fluttered its wings and tried to fly away.

Ryan, who was charging, could only use blood to continuously reinforce the "blood barrier" to resist the erosion of the fierce miasma, and could not stop the corpse dragon from leaving.

At the critical moment, a red pillar with red arcs jumping around it burst out and hit the chest of the corpse dragon.

The power of this attack was unexpectedly strong, and it directly shattered the chest armor of the corpse dragon that had just taken off, and penetrated into it, severely damaging the internal organs.

It was the big silver who had been waiting for an opportunity in the distance for a long time and finally found an opportunity to take action!

However, after using this attack, the red lines on the shark's surface were completely dimmed, and the state was extremely depressed. Obviously, the cost of this attack was not small.

The sudden attack made the corpse dragon wailer fall to the ground, but before falling, it angrily sprayed a column of miasma towards the location of the big silver.

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly. The weak big silver was hit by the corpse dragon head-on, and the end must be very tragic.

But Ryan knew that what he needed to do most now was to seize the precious opportunity that the big silver paid a huge price to win for him.

"Ding!"

The real power accumulation was completed, Ryan's face was ferocious, and the big sword in his hand slashed out angrily, accurately hitting the head of the corpse dragon that just hung down!
