Chapter 170 [Sacred Relic Azure Medal], Sublimation and Transformation! (Part 2)
Chapter 170 [Holy Relic·Azure Medal], sublimation and transformation! (two)
Deep in the rotten miasma, there are underground caves filled with rich miasma. At this moment, the battle has reached its climax.
"Boom!"
It was obviously the collision between the metal sword and the skull, but it made a buzzing sound like metal clashing.
The sword with extremely powerful force left the slightest crack on the skull, and then, in Ryan's widened eyes, the sword actually bounced out.
The corpse dragon has entered a "new posture", its skull is covered with strange gray lines, and it has become tougher. Even Ryan's full blow cannot completely break through the defense.
"damn it."
After flying upside down for more than ten meters and landing on the ground, Ryan cursed in his heart and looked extremely ugly.
According to the degree of cracks on the skull, if he wanted to completely break the skull, he would have to strike at least three times with the same force.
This is almost impossible.
The corpse dragon is not a fool, and there is no way he can stand there and bear his attack like a living target.
On the contrary, the Corpse Dragon has quite a lot of combat experience. If it suffers a loss once, it will try its best to block it in its own way to prevent it from happening again.
Before Ryan slashed the skull of the corpse dragon three times again, he had a greater chance of dying in the hands of the corpse dragon first.
After a brief hesitation, Ryan made the decision, run!
The strength of the corpse dragon's "true form" has exceeded Ryan's expectations.
If he were alone, he would probably fight to the death, and he would be a good man again when he travels tomorrow.
But it was different now. Dayin was not far away. In order to help him, he was seriously injured by the corpse dragon and was on the verge of death. If Ryan died like this, Dayin would definitely die.
Therefore, he cannot die, at least not until the corpse dragon is lured far enough away.
Sprinting at full speed, the air turned into solid liquid in Ryan's feeling.
While running away, Ryan took out the [Light Crossbow·Ice Crusher] and shot at the corpse dragon far behind.
The attack power of the crossbow arrow is very weak, and it cannot even penetrate the thick miasma field, but it is enough to attract the attention of the corpse dragon.
In fact, even without the crossbow arrows, the corpse dragon's "hatred" is all on Ryan.
Several attacks before and after, especially the large amount of real damage caused by the "Happiness Explosion", made Ryan an undying target in the eyes of the corpse dragon.
The broken wings covered with countless white cysts, when viewed from a distance, have the strange beauty of an alternative white wedding dress. The dancing wings give the corpse dragon a speed that is disproportionate to its huge size.
Seeing that the corpse dragon did not go to find Dayin, Ryan immediately felt relieved, held his breath and concentrated on running away.
Although the Corpse Dragon is fast and will occasionally use the long-range attack - Pillar of Miasma to breathe, Ryan's speed is not slow either. Occasionally, he can directly withstand attacks that cannot be avoided by reducing damage by up to 80%.
While escaping, Ryan gradually discovered something very interesting.
When affected by the miasma field, he was unable to superimpose the "Gospel Mark" on the corpse dragon. As for why, Ryan didn't understand. He could only attribute it to a mechanical problem. However, the white cysts bloomed from the corpse dragon's miasma pillar. The coming "Flower of Miasma" can refresh the duration of "True Burn" and "Gospel Mark".
The white cysts are not only included in the corpse dragon's miasma pillar attack, but also scattered everywhere as the corpse dragon runs.
For normal creatures, this is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying thing. After all, in this case, as long as you fight with the corpse dragon for a period of time, the surrounding environment will become a "high-intensity miasma state", even if it is stronger than the corpse dragon, Monsters with stronger dragon strength will ultimately not be opponents of the corpse dragon, let alone those weaker than the corpse dragon.
And as long as the "Miasma Flower" can be classified into the "attack" category, then for Ryan, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The erosion of high-intensity miasma is indeed uncomfortable, but Ryan can bear it with his body. When he really can't bear it, he can use [Elimination Fruit] to relieve it and obtain a short-term immunity effect.
In this way, he can persist for a very long time.
And as soon as the "Gospel Seal" was stacked to five levels, Ryan would choose to detonate it without hesitation.
Coupled with the consumption of vitality, spirituality, and physical strength of "True Burn" every second, the corpse dragon's state dropped very quickly.
After chasing and escaping for a few minutes, the corpse dragon's speed slowed down significantly.
"Huchi...huchi..."
Ryan gasped for breath.
Although Corpse Dragon's condition was not good, he wasn't much better either.
Whether it is the superposition of "Gospel Seal" or maintaining the "Joyful Flame Aura", it is a costly matter.
Chasing a war of attrition is not only a test for the corpse dragon, but also a huge test for Ryan.
Gritting his teeth, after detonating the Gospel Seal for the third time, Ryan turned around and looked at the corpse dragon in the back who was covered in green blood and was in a depressed state.
After several large sword slashes and four bursts of "gospel" joy, the corpse dragon's state had reached its final critical value.
Red obsidian energy flowed out of its body, filling the body's wounds and repairing the broken dragon wings. Not only that, it also covered the miasma field with a layer of gray-red light.
Ryan can clearly feel that on the premise that the miasma is corrosive, it is also superimposed with terrible corrosion and burning properties.
Looking at the two "blood cores" that quickly became dim in color, Ryan knew that the final battle had arrived.
At the moment, his gluttony has returned to 0. Even if he keeps stuffing food into his mouth, it will take time to transform.
In other words, when the two "blood cores" are broken, [Holy Relic·Embrace of Blood] will lose its effect.
And Ryan's physical strength and spirituality are also running out.
"Huh..."
The whistling wind blew in his face, and a gray-white withered flower fell in the wind.
This is a large cave deeper underground. The ground is covered with blue-green shallow corpse water, and strange rocks are abrupt and clustered, which is even more weird.
Ryan held the hilt of the greatsword behind him and stared at the corpse dragon in front of him that had entered the "Red Flame Rage State".
He could feel that because of the sharp drop in state, even if the corpse dragon entered the "Red Flame Rage", its state only recovered to the peak in a short time, and did not surpass it before, which was equivalent to taking "stimulants" before death.
But this is already strong enough.
Because Ryan's state is far worse than his peak moment.
The two sides have one increase and one unchanged, which is equivalent to widening the gap.
After entering the "Red Flame Rage", the white spores on the corpse dragon have been burned out, which means that it is impossible for Ryan to rely on the "Flower of Miasma" to superimpose the real burning and the Gospel Mark.
If you want to defeat the ancient dragon-corpse dragon, you still have to rely on hard power...
At this point, Ryan calmed down instead.
This place is far enough away from Dayin. Even if he is defeated and killed, Dayin has a high chance of escaping.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
Let's fight with all our strength!
In the depths of Ryan's eyes, the fire of fighting will ignites.
Even if he is in a desperate situation and the storm is imminent, he will never give up resistance!
Perhaps it is a coincidence in the dark. In a trance, Ryan seems to see the figure who is still fighting tenaciously before countless terrifying waves and storms.
[Understanding the meaning of "Storm Fight", [Storm Fighter] occupational compatibility increased by 25%, the current occupational compatibility is 50%, and the following occupational bonuses are obtained: Spirituality +1.0, Physical +1.0 (cumulative)]
A faint warm current flows through Ryan's body, slightly relieving some of his fatigue, but that's all.
The sudden change surprised Ryan, but he soon forgot about it. The most important thing at the moment is the final battle with the corpse dragon.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled and cracked. Under the push of the recoil force, Ryan burst out and took the initiative to attack.
He was like a red phantom, and the air formed a cone-shaped air wave in front of him.
The huge dragon claw covered with red lines slapped down in the air and fell accurately on Ryan.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of air explosions sounded, and the corpse dragon's dragon claw slapped horizontally, breaking the speed of sound.
Ryan's eyes were stern, and he did not retreat but advanced, actively crashing into the dragon claw.
The moment the two came into contact, a violent explosion roared.
The gray-red light and blood color intertwined.
In the end, the "tyrant blood film" blessed by the "Blade Heart" was slightly better.
With the help of the blood energy fed back, Ryan completed the accumulation of "true power" in a very short time, and the greatsword burst out.
On the other side, the corpse dragon whose dragon claw was slightly repelled opened its mouth, before Ryan's greatsword fell.
"Roar--!"
In the roaring dragon roar, the gray-red ripples spread rapidly.
At this moment, sound waves became the most terrifying weapon.
In an instant, Ryan temporarily lost his hearing.
But thanks to the special skill [Earplugs lv.2], he did not lose consciousness. In the state of bleeding from all seven orifices, he clenched his teeth and the greatsword fell unwaveringly.
"Bang!"
The great sword containing spiritual flames slashed at the skull area exposed after the corpse dragon's head was injured before, and the cracks were further deepened with a crisp sound of "crack".
The vital parts were severely damaged, and the stimulation of the life-and-death crisis made the corpse dragon turn around and swing its tail violently.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of gas explosions continued in front of the slender dragon's tail, and Ryan, who had just completed the slash, had no time to react before being swept by the dragon's tail.
"Crack!"
The blood barrier with little "durability" did not even last for 0.1 seconds, and it broke into slag, and the dragon's tail just paused slightly, and then continued to fall on Ryan's armor.
"Bang--"
Lian flew backwards in a parabola like a hit golf ball, smashing many high stalactites along the way, and finally embedded in the hard cave wall.
The [Reverse Blade Armor] made of top-rank materials is indeed superior in performance. Even after such a heavy blow, only the chest armor was slightly cracked, but the shock caused by the dragon's tail has almost turned Ryan's internal organs into minced meat.
The sight in front of him is faintly bloody because of the blood staining of the retina.
Ryan can see that the corpse dragon in the distance is holding its head high, and countless gray-red miasma in its mouth begins to condense into a ball, the color is getting brighter and brighter, and it is about to reach its peak!
A sense of locking emerged from his heart. Although he didn't know how the corpse dragon did it, Ryan knew that this breath would inevitably fall on him even if he dodged.
After the previous accumulation, only one "Blade Heart" was restored. Now Ryan is no longer able to use [Special Sword Skill-Collision Attack (Blade Heart)].
With physical strength exhausted and vitality close to the limit, even the corpse dragon in the distance has an illusory shadow.
Ryan struggled to pull himself out of the cave wall. He knew that this was a sign that his body had reached its limit.
Blood continued to flow from his seven orifices, and his life had entered the final countdown.
Ryan gritted his teeth and looked at the corpse dragon in the distance. At this moment, every cell in his body was roaring with unwillingness.
Ryan knew that the corpse dragon was also on the verge of death at this moment. Perhaps he only needed one more heavy blow to kill it.
But the line between them is sometimes a natural barrier.
"Kill!"
With a roar, Ryan used up the last of his strength and sprinted towards the corpse dragon.
Even if he died, he would only die on the way to charge.
Abandoning life and death, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.
At this moment, time slowed down in Ryan's senses.
The gray-red miasma ball that lit up a little bit in the mouth of the corpse dragon, and every dust particle falling in the air, were clearly visible.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, Ryan heard the sound of the wind.
It was slight at first, but soon it became stronger and stronger until it surrounded Ryan, cheering and jumping around him.
This was the first time Ryan had truly "seen" the color of the wind.
-- Green.
A column of gray-red miasma sprayed out from the corpse dragon's mouth, pointing directly at Ryan, but when it penetrated Ryan's body, it seemed to penetrate an illusion.
"Whoosh..."
The wind hummed softly, and the green spirit was beating.
Ryan suddenly appeared beside the corpse dragon.
At the critical moment, thanks to his deepening understanding of the Azure Sword Art, Ryan was finally able to use the Azure Sword Art's sword technique - [Walking Wind Slash] while holding a greatsword.
The spiritual light was dense, the blood gathered, the last strength, the last spirit, the last everything, all contained in this sword.
"Kill!!!"
With a roar, [Crown Dragon Slashing Greatsword] fell heavily on the exposed skull of the corpse dragon.
"Boom--"
In the air, ripples were spreading, but silently. After a short pause, a thunderous explosion resounded, and there was a crisp sound of breaking.
After slashing out this last sword, Ryan was completely exhausted, and his body was thrown up by the shock wave of the explosion.
"Ahem..."
The tenacious will made Ryan half-kneel on the ground after landing. He did not faint, and his eyes were fixed on the center of the explosion.
"Huh..."
The breeze blew, and the smoke and dust gradually disappeared.
A slender and elegant figure appeared in it.
The bloody corpse dragon stepped forward step by step and came to Ryan who was half-kneeling on the ground.
The four eyes met, and the corpse dragon raised the dragon claws little by little, and then fell.
However, the speed of the dragon claws falling was getting slower and slower, and when it was less than three centimeters away from Ryan's eyebrows, it stopped completely.
The light in the corpse dragon's eyes completely dissipated, and life came to an end at this moment.
Deep in the rotten miasma, the uncrowned dragon king of death and miasma, after a long time, ushered in the end called "death"...
The ancient dragon - the corpse dragon, was successfully conquered!
Ryan lay on his back on the ground, laughing hoarsely.
In front of his chest, the azure light emitted endless brilliant light.
The color became deeper and brighter, until it sublimated and transformed into the color of "blue"!
——
[The completely awakened azure medal is shining with brilliance, but above it, there are still shining stars that guide people's hope. Above the azure, there is still a touch of blue. Successfully hunting an ancient dragon species can cause the holy relic to undergo a fundamental sublimation and transformation! Current progress: 1/1...]
[[Holy Relic·Azure Medal] has completed sublimation and transformed into [Holy Relic·Azure Medal]! The specific effect is undergoing adaptive transformation, please check later...]
——
Ryan retracted his gaze from the panel. A similar scene had happened when the Azure Badge was awakened last time, and he was no longer surprised by it.
The expectation did not disappear, but just settled down, like a fermented mellow wine.
Ryan walked to the body of the corpse dragon, looked at the dark golden trophy in front of him, and reached out to touch it.
