Chapter 183: Obtain the "Anchor Point", Repair the Ship Sculpture, an Unprecedented Epic Upgrade!
The bloody mouth that opened wide, comparable to a three-story building, rushed over, and the strong fishy smell stimulated Ryan's heart to beat wildly.
The "Dragon Roar" of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur was so powerful that even [Earplugs lv.2] could only resist a small part of its power.
Fortunately, Ryan's travel clone's [Physique] was now close to 500, far beyond ordinary people, no, it should be said that it was far beyond the legendary professional. This is how he forcibly broke free from the "dizzy" state before the attack of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur arrived.
The sharp teeth of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur were enough to tear apart any "food". Once bitten by it, the consequences would be disastrous.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think about it. Ryan's legs retreated quickly.
"Crack!"
The sound of the upper and lower jaws closing violently spread, making people's teeth ache. At the critical moment, Ryan avoided the bite, and then exerted force with his legs, and the whole person jumped high.
The huge body of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur pounced and bit from under him, and Ryan's body fell and landed behind the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
A burning sensation came, and the purple-black dragon attribute energy continued to attack Ryan from the gaps in the armor, causing continuous damage and severe pain to Ryan, but Ryan remained calm, and blood light filled his left hand, and a blood-colored sword etched with gorgeous patterns appeared out of thin air.
With the [Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword] in his right hand and the Blood Greatsword in his left hand, Ryan stood at the back of the neck of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, and the two greatswords suddenly slashed down.
Since obtaining the [Holy Relic·Embrace of Blood], Ryan mainly used the "Blood Barrier" and "Blood Spear". The "Blood Greatsword" was only used a few times in the early stage when he had no weapons. Later, after he got the powerful Crown Greatsword, he never used it again.
Now, with Ryan's [Physique] rising, even if [Relic·Embrace of Blood] is only "initial awakening", the "Blood Greatsword" that is manifested is of good quality.
Regardless of how much damage it can cause to [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, at least it can break the defense.
The two greatswords hit the head of [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, further expanding the previous wound. Thanks to the additional true damage of "Blue Power", [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur roared in pain.
"Roar——!"
Red light burst out from the gaps in the muscles of [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, and the size of [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur further expanded, and rich and hot steam rose.
——Red Flame Becomes Crazy!
The bursting air wave shook Ryan from the back of the neck of [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
In mid-air, Ryan adjusted his posture, superimposed [Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword] and Blood Greatsword together, and carried them on his shoulders together.
The Blood Sword transformed from a physical entity into a semi-illusory form, faintly blending with the [Crown Dragon Slayer Sword].
After being blown to a height of nearly 100 meters, Ryan's upward momentum slowed down and began to fall, while the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, which was intertwined with purple, black and red, had opened its bloody mouth and bit Ryan from bottom to top.
Being in mid-air, with no place to borrow power, Ryan could not change his position and could only watch himself falling towards the bloody mouth of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
Although the strength of the Wandering Clone is far stronger than that of an ordinary legend, it relies purely on [physique] and cannot generate power from the void like spirituality. Therefore, even if the Wandering Clone is stronger than an ordinary legend, it cannot fly.
The life-and-death crisis is right in front of him, but Ryan's eyes are still as calm as before.
During the period of ascent, he has completed the "three-stage power accumulation", and during the descent, the final "real power accumulation" stage is also completed.
The gushing spirituality turned into flames, flying wantonly, accompanied by the intertwined greatswords that slashed down with a bang.
"Bang!"
The greatsword slashed heavily on the sharp incisors of the [Champion] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
A circle of transparent ripples spread out with the contact surface of the two as the center.
Before Ryan's body hit the ground, he was lifted into the air again by the recoil caused by the collision. On the other side, the huge body of the [Champion] Gluttonous Dinosaur also fell at high speed under the heavy blow.
"Boom boom--"
The ground shook, the gravel tumbled, and it was like a mushroom cloud rising from the ground.
"Roar!"
In the smoke and dust, the huge Gluttonous Dragon, with its extremely thick thighs stepping on the compacted deep pit, raised its head, and the purple-black and red light in its mouth gathered. It exerted force with its legs and tried to jump up again.
Normal creatures, after suffering a loss, will most likely choose to attack from a distance, rather than jumping up and biting again, but the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur is different. After entering the "Red Flame Rage", its remaining weak rationality completely disappears, leaving only the most violent gluttonous desire.
Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!
It wants to eat! It wants to swallow Ryan completely into its stomach!
The huge beast jumped up in the spreading dust, and in mid-air, a dazzling light exploded in Ryan's hand, like the scorching sun that suddenly descended on the world.
[Flashing Insect]!
The strong light instantly took away the vision of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur who was looking directly at the "scorching sun". Relying on instinct, the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur continued to pounce upwards and bite.
In mid-air, a "Blood Spear" appeared in Ryan's hand, and then flew out.
The power of the Blood Spear was not enough, and it only barely broke through the defense of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, and then it was powerless.
If it were on the ground, this spear would be almost useless except for superimposing the "Mark of the Gospel", but at this moment the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur was in mid-air, and was disturbed by this external force, so the direction of its upward bite suddenly shifted, and it passed by the descending Ryan.
One man and one dragon, one descending and one rising, but it was Ryan who landed on the ground first.
He raised his great sword and began to charge.
"Dang~Dang~Dang!"
The three stages of charging were completed smoothly, and at this time, the huge body of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur also landed on the ground.
The violent shock wave that was raised hit Ryan's face directly.
——[Special Sword Skill·Defense Collision (Blade Heart Version)]!
Blood light bloomed, and the "Hegemony Blood Film" resisted the violent shock wave. The blood and energy that were fed back helped Ryan to directly complete the final charging.
"Really charge, cut!"
With a roar, Ryan slashed out with the greatsword in his hand. After calculating the landing point, he accurately slashed the greatsword on the exposed skull crack of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur's head.
"Crack!"
Amid the horrifying cracking sound, the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur's extremely hard skull could no longer hold on after being slashed continuously, and it completely cracked, revealing the brain tissue inside that was protected by a layer of red film.
The brain is the most fragile and deadly part of life. Once it is completely destroyed, no matter how strong the vitality of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur is, it will die.
Ryan was in high spirits.
The [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, which was severely injured and felt a fatal crisis, was covered with purple and black arcs and let out a deafening dragon roar.
The terrible sound waves, wrapped with the domineering dragon attribute energy, were enough to completely tear the eardrums of living creatures and cause deeper damage.
A "blood barrier" appeared on the surface of Ryan's body, and at the same time, his body took the initiative to retreat under the impact of the sound waves.
The solid "blood barrier" lasted less than a second in the dragon's roar before it was broken. The remaining sound waves fell on Ryan's body. After being reduced by [Earplugs lv.2], his ears still lost their hearing in an instant.
The sound waves invaded his body, making him feel a burning pain in all his internal organs.
Looking at the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur that was chasing him violently, Ryan's mouth showed a faint smile.
Because the second round of five layers of gospel marks have been superimposed and completed.
"Explode!"
As Ryan's thoughts moved, the dark purple light once again climbed onto the surface of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur. At this time, the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur seemed to feel something and stopped chasing. The dragon attribute energy and red energy in the body surged wildly, trying to prevent the "joyful explosion" from happening, but in the end, it was useless.
The dark purple light exploded completely, and at the same time, a phantom holding a sickle appeared behind the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
The sickle blade swung down, passing through the body of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, but without causing any scars.
But after eating the "Joyful Explosion", the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, which still had some vitality left, became stiff.
Starting from the top of its head, the purple-black and red light on its body dimmed until the soles of its feet.
The [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur fell to the ground powerlessly. In the last moment of its life, it still tried to crawl towards where Ryan was, opening and closing its big mouth, trying to swallow Ryan into its stomach.
In other words, not Ryan, but any edible flesh and blood containing energy.
However, its wish was destined to be unfulfilled.
When it crawled to three meters in front of Ryan, its body became completely cold, and the whole dragon body showed a gray color of rock.
Gluttony made it successful, but the uncontrollable gluttony eventually destroyed it.
Ryan leaned on the big sword and looked down at the dead beast.
——[Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, defeated successfully!
"Cough cough..."
Ryan coughed, and the blood he spat out was still mixed with purple-black arcs.
Although he defeated the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, he also paid a huge price.
After several minutes, Ryan recovered and looked up at the panel.
——
[Level]: 19 (2%) → 19 (52%)
[Spiritual Value]: 5722635 → 9722635
——
After defeating the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, the experience points obtained were more abundant than those of the Darklight Dragon, but Ryan's level did not increase again.
Level 20 is a threshold for qualitative change, and the required experience points suddenly increased.
Ryan was not surprised by this.
From the fact that one of the conditions for carrying the "Blue King" of the [Sacred Relic · Blue Medal] is level 20, we can see the specialness of level 20.
In the battle with the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, Ryan's "gluttony" was completely consumed. Fortunately, the newly acquired special skills, [Super Speed Regeneration lv.3] and [Ancient Dragon Specialization-Life and Death Intertwined lv.1 (max)] are both passive skills that can be activated without consumption. With the help of these two skills, he recovered from the severe injury at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Huh..."
Exhaling lightly, Ryan cast his eyes on the trophy floating next to the corpse of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur.
Unlike the dark gold of the ancient dragon species, the trophy dropped by the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur is golden with purple and black, which looks particularly strange.
——
[Trophies: Gem of Gluttonous Dinosaur]: Gold-level trophy, rare jade generated in the body of the [Grand] Devil Tyrannosaurus, can dramatically improve the performance of weapons and contains terrible power. Attached special skills: [Craftsmanship lv.3].
—— [Craftsmanship lv.3]: Weapon sharpness +4.
(ps: The desire for gluttony is surging.)
——
Looking at the introduction of the spoils in front of him, Ryan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
There is no doubt that the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur is stronger than the [Grand] Darklight Dragon, but the spoils it produces are not as good as the Darklight Dragon, and it lacks an "Ancient Dragon Specialization Skill".
This is the difference created by the natural race, and also the difference in race potential and upper limit.
Thoughts fluctuated in his mind, and Ryan looked at the [Craftsmanship] skill he now has.
——[Craftsmanship lv.6 (max)]: weapon sharpness +15.
The effect of [Craftsmanship] at lv.3 is weapon sharpness +4, and now it has increased by 11 points.
And the +4 sharpness makes the [Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword], which was not originally known for its sharpness, powerful enough to break the defense of the three-star peak monster of the Grand Title. Now the sharpness bonus has reached +15, even if it is a monster above the Grand Title, it is enough to break the defense, right?
"Has it reached the level limit..."
Ryan whispered to himself.
After going through so much, he certainly knew that when the skill reached the upper limit, there was a way to break through, but it was more difficult and required specific equipment or loot to unlock the level upper limit.
It was not something he could consider now.
After calming down, Ryan looked at the corpse of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur in front of him and immediately began to collect materials.
The previous corpse of the Dark Light Dragon was swallowed up, which made Ryan very distressed. If the materials of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur were not collected again, he would really vomit blood.
After a while, Ryan completed the material collection, and the corpse of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur was also cut into neat pieces of meat by him.
Thanks to the help of "Sharpness +15", Ryan's material collection work went a lot more smoothly.
After recovering a small part of the flesh and blood, most of the rest was left on the ground by him, which belonged to Dayin.
With the death of Vice Captain Loic and the death of [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, the color of the solid anchor space wall began to fade gradually. It is estimated that in a short time, it will completely return to the previous state of free entry and exit.
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the place where Vice Captain Loic appeared before. There was a deep pit with no bottom in sight.
The space wall returned to its transparent color. Big Silver flew in anxiously. Seeing that Ryan was safe and sound, it immediately relaxed. Then, it was attracted by the flesh and blood on the side.
The flesh and blood that surpassed the peak of the three-star crown was an incomparable nourishment for Big Silver. After eating this flesh and blood, its strength would inevitably surge.
"Those are for you." Ryan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Big Silver was so happy that he swung his tail and flew over to bite excitedly.
Looking at Big Silver who was trying hard to eat, Ryan's smile remained unchanged, but a complex color appeared in the depths of his eyes.
As "Red Luminous Evolution", although the way of evolution is different, in essence, Dayin and Deputy Leader Loic are similar, and they will be periodically eroded by Red Luminous, and this erosion is stronger and more violent, almost endless.
The only way to solve this erosion is to find the source of "Red Luminous" and kill the super ancient monster on the "taboo".
But the difficulty...
Shaking his head, Ryan no longer thought about it.
The only thing he can do for Dayin now is to provide it with the flesh and blood of powerful monsters as much as possible to help it improve its strength and resist waves of Red Luminous erosion.
As for the "Red Luminous Source", he can only make plans when he is strong enough in the future.
Ryan turned his head back and looked at the abyss in front of him.
Feeling the throbbing of the [Nameless Ship Sculpture] in his body, he no longer hesitated, and said to Dayin, "Wait for me here", and then jumped down directly.
The whistling wind passed by both sides of his cheeks. After falling for about five seconds, Ryan's feet finally landed.
The height difference of hundreds of meters was not a burden for his current physical strength.
Ryan looked forward and saw a cave of medium size.
In the center of the cave, a hazy colorful light ball was suspended.
Its color changed slightly every second, and it vaguely reflected different scenes, but the flashing picture was too fast and too blurry, and it turned into a hazy halo.
At just one glance, Ryan knew that this colorful light ball was the "anchor point" he had been looking for for a long time.
Stepping forward, Ryan stretched out his hand and held up the "anchor point".
Through the colorful halo, Ryan could vaguely see that there was a strange fragment that was constantly rotating inside.
The next moment, Ryan's body, [Nameless Ship Sculpture] sent a strong attraction, and the "anchor point" merged into Ryan's palm, and was finally sucked into the body by [Nameless Ship Sculpture].
"Buzz——"
In an instant, Ryan felt that his vision was constantly retreating, and [Nameless Ship Sculpture] appeared in front of him, becoming larger and larger, with clear details.
With the integration of the "anchor point", the seemingly broken [Nameless Ship Sculpture] became complete little by little.
The repair degree displayed on the panel also soared from 37% under Ryan's expectant eyes.
90%...95%...99%...
Until, 100%!
[Nameless Ship Sculpture] exuded a deep and heavy light, and Ryan's vision returned to normal in this light.
With excitement, Ryan opened the panel to check the properties of the [Nameless Ship Sculpture] that had been completely repaired.
