Chapter 207: Scarlet as God, the Value of the Strongest Witch in the World
The muffled thunder accumulated in the dark clouds, and the dazzling lightning cut through the darkness.
In the violent waves, a gorgeous warship rode the wind and waves, and marched forward in this catastrophic storm.
Occasionally, when encountering super huge waves over 100 meters, they also collapsed and fell under a magnificent sword light, turning into tides that helped the warships on both sides.
Ryan stood on the bow deck of the [Black Rose], and behind him was Xiao Zi who was screaming excitedly.
"You guy, be quiet."
Ryan turned back and glared at the little guy.
It must be said that as the juvenile of the "Monster King", this violent sea wave that would scare even the fourth-level professionals pale made it excited, and it wanted to flap its wings and pounce on it.
Of course, Xiao Zi was not a fool, and knew that he was still a juvenile and was no match for the 100-meter huge waves, so he just talked nonsense.
After being kicked by Ryan, Xiao Zi immediately swung his tail in displeasure, but still stopped howling obediently.
Ryan turned back with some tiredness. This job of taking care of children is really not suitable for him.
In the rare leisure time, Ryan opened his own panel.
——
[Spirituality]: 110.4→111.4
[Physical Fitness]: 156.66→185.22
——
During the travel last night, his two basic attributes have improved.
[Spirituality] has only increased by 1.0, which is too small and insignificant, while physical fitness has been greatly improved due to the feedback of the upgrade of the travel clone.
With the help of the artifact [Tyrannical Great Sword·Wolf Blood Oath], Ryan thought that even if he encountered a sea monster with peak legendary strength, he would have the strength to fight.
As for the extreme legend... If he really encountered it, he could only open the secret of the artifact and try [Tyrannical Advent].
Even if it is a divine weapon, it is already very remarkable to help Ryan cross a small realm in the legendary rank.
Closing the panel, Ryan drew out the greatsword behind him and concentrated his mind. The next second, a burning red flame ignited on the sword.
This is the first sword skill of [Scorching Sword Art] - Flowing Wind Like Fire, which is to add a layer of fierce fire attribute enchantment to your greatsword.
This fierce fire attribute is different from the general fire attribute. It has a very strong adhesion and corrosiveness. Once it is contaminated, it will be like the wind blowing on your face. It is endless and difficult to remove. It will bring continuous strong burning and inhibit treatment.
The effect of inhibiting treatment is very similar to [Joyful Flame Aura], the difference is that the Joyful Flame Aura cannot cause direct damage, while the sword skill Flowing Wind Like Fire can.
Yes, before entering the magnetic thunder sea, Ryan used the [Scorching Sword Art Inheritance Crystal] from the leader of the Black Knights in the cabin.
With the "Grandmaster" level of Storm Swordsmanship, the process of his inheritance of "Scorching Swordsmanship" was extremely smooth. Moreover, because he had an early understanding of the Burning Swordsmanship in the previous battle with the leader of the Black Knights, as soon as the inheritance was over, his Burning Swordsmanship level reached the mastery level and he successfully learned the first sword skill.
Moreover, with the blessing of the characteristics of the Azure Sword, the level of [Scorching Swordsmanship], which is named like fire but is essentially a swordsmanship with mixed attributes of wind and fire, was directly raised by one level to the master level!
The second sword skill of the master-level Burning Swordsmanship is called "Slashing Flame Wind Blade". The general effect is that after charging, it cuts out a very powerful wind and fire attribute sword energy.
Yes, Ryan discovered that unlike Storm Swordsmanship, Burning Swordsmanship is essentially a swordsmanship that specializes in sword energy.
It does not greatly enhance the power of the greatsword itself, but the sword energy cut out by this swordsmanship can be more powerful than the slash of the greatsword entity.
It is completely opposite to Storm Swordsmanship.
Therefore, Ryan has been thinking about how to integrate these two great swordsmanships during this period of time.
Think about it, if you cut out the sword energy on the basis of "three-stage charging", "true charging" or even "splitting the god", the attack distance will have an epic leap without losing power, and this will greatly expand Ryan's tactical strategy.
Under the premise that there is no way to go after the Grandmaster level, integrating multiple swordsmanships is also a way to progress.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but it is extremely difficult to do it.
The essence of the Burning Swordsmanship is the heat of the wind, and the essence of the Storm Swordsmanship is the violent wind. Although they both belong to the wind, their natures cannot be said to be completely opposite, but they are also poles apart.
The difficulty of combining the two is simply unimaginable.
After a simple attempt, Ryan realized that it was a foolish dream to want to do this before the Burning Swordsmanship was upgraded to the Grandmaster level.
Therefore, Ryan's training goal during this period was to practice the Burning Sword Art and strive to improve it to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible.
With the foundation of the "Grandmaster-level" Storm Sword Art, it doesn't take a long time to achieve this.
In this way, Ryan practiced the Burning Sword Art while protecting the [Black Rose] in the dangerous magnetic thunder sea. Not long after, he came to the place where he returned from the last exploration of the magnetic thunder sea, which was where he encountered the sea monster.
When he arrived here, Ryan stopped practicing the sword art at hand, and his expression became solemn.
After passing this place, he will officially enter the core circle of the magnetic thunder sea, which is also the area where sea monsters often appear in rumors.
Even though his strength has improved a lot compared to yesterday, he is not the only one on the [Black Rose], there are also sleeping Freni and Cecilia, oh, yes, and Xiao Zi.
He was inherently at a disadvantage in the sea, the main battlefield of sea monsters, because he needed to distract himself to protect the ship.
Therefore, it would be the best thing to find the Witch Island without encountering the sea monster.
In Ryan's worries, the [Black Rose] really entered the core circle of the magnetic mine sea.
As Ryan expected, the environment in the core circle became increasingly harsh, and huge waves of 100 meters were commonplace, and even huge waves of nearly 150 meters high appeared.
Fortunately, Ryan's strength has improved a lot, and this kind of huge wave is still within his ability. Along the way, it was considered safe.
In fact, if you want to pass through the magnetic mine sea, you don't have to enter the core circle. As long as you detour in the outer and inner circles, you can pass through this dangerous sea. Otherwise, the professionals who have just entered the legend will not only protect the ships, but also themselves.
Few professionals will break into this place.
The reason why there are rumors of sea monsters is that sea monsters occasionally appear in the outer and inner circles, but the number of times is very rare.
Ryan came all the way, and he did not detect the breath and traces of sea monsters in the outer circle and the inner circle. Therefore, if there are sea monsters in the magnetic thunder sea area, they must be in the core circle.
With a heavy mood, Ryan sailed all the way.
One hour later.
Contrary to Ryan's expectations, he did not encounter any sea monsters at all during the voyage, as if these guys were swallowed by an invisible big mouth and disappeared without a trace.
Ryan controlled the [Black Rose] to stop, letting it rise and fall in the turbulent waves. His eyes fell on the "beacon" compass in his hand. According to the position of the light spot on it, his current position and the position of the Witch Island have overlapped.
However, looking around, let alone large islands, there is not even a reef.
Faced with this situation, Ryan was not anxious.
He is no longer a rookie in the world of professionals. It is better to say that with the accumulation of two worlds, his vision is better than most professionals.
"Beacon" will not lie, and Xue Liya has no need to lie to him.
Failure to find the Witch Island does not mean that the Witch Island does not exist. It is more likely that the Witch Island is hidden.
Just as the entrance to the Starlight City is a special teleportation array, and the Starlight City itself is located in a special gap between the worlds.
The Witch Island is likely to be the same.
According to what Xue Liya said, if someone with the "beacon" full of her magic fluctuations arrives at the location of the Witch Island, the people on the Witch Island should be able to observe him.
However, due to the lack of information, Xue Liya could not pass this matter to the Witch Island.
Thinking about it this way, the witch in charge of observation on the Witch Island should also be very troubled at this moment, right?
After all, the magic breath cannot be faked, but the holder does not match the owner of the magic breath. In this case, it is reasonable for the other party to hesitate.
Ryan pushed open the door of the captain's room and then sat down on the bow deck.
The door opened, and the people on the Witch Island should be able to feel the fluctuations of Freni's magic. As for whether the other party would open the "door to the island", Ryan could not be sure, but all he could do now was to wait.
According to the theory of mutual help among witches advocated by the Witch Island, they should not stand by and watch the death, right?
If it really doesn't work, they can only use tough measures... Ryan lowered his head and a flash of concentration flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The entrance to the special world is not absolutely solid. When it encounters a strong enough attack, it will reveal a flaw.
Ryan's fundamental purpose is not to board the Witch Island, but to find the owner of the Witch Island, the Scarlet Witch, and learn from her the information of the "treasure" that can restore the origin.
And when he encounters a professional with legendary strength like him attacking the Witch Island, the Scarlet Witch must appear...
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, three hours passed.
On the bow deck, Ryan frowned slightly.
The door has been closed for three hours. In this case, if we wait any longer, the witches in charge of observation on the Witch Island will most likely not open the door.
In this case... we can only use force.
Ryan said sorry to the witches on the island in his heart, and slowly stood up.
In order to show that he had no hostility, Ryan deliberately put the [Tyrannical Greatsword·Wolf Blood Oath] into the space ring and took off his helmet.
Now, since the Witch Island is unwilling to open the door on its own initiative, he can only use the sharpness of the artifact greatsword to force an entrance.
Just as he was about to put on the helmet and was about to materialize the greatsword, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look behind him.
I saw a 200-meter-high world-shaking wave surging in, and the power contained in it was enough to make senior legendary professionals change color.
The huge wave itself was not taken seriously by Ryan. His eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of sea water and fell on the huge shadow behind the waves.
A terrifying sense of oppression came from it, and Ryan knew the identity of this thing at the first moment.
Sea monster!
Moreover, it was a sea monster with at least legendary peak strength!
Ryan did not hesitate and materialized the greatsword. Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a gentle wave passing through him and the [Black Rose] under him.
In an instant, the world in front of him changed dramatically.
He and the [Black Rose] were no longer on the turbulent sea, but came to a calm sea surface.
Through a layer of translucent film, he could clearly see the surging tide outside the film, and the sea monster roaring wildly and angrily on the sea.
The overall image of the sea monster was similar to that of a deep-sea giant octopus, with each tentacle more than a hundred meters long, dancing wildly on the sea.
However, no matter how raging the sea monster and the waves were, they could not do anything to this seemingly thin film, as if the two were not on the same plane at all.
Or, the level of the sea monster's attack was still too low.
If the [Tyrannical Greatsword·Wolf Blood Oath] was used to attack, with the power and status of the artifact, even if the film could not be destroyed, it would surely cause shock.
Ryan thought so in his heart, and then turned his head to look around.
But what he saw made his pupils shrink suddenly.
In the distance of the calm sea, there was a super-large island, which was not much smaller than Tianqingdao in terms of area.
If so, it was not worth being surprised at all. What shocked Ryan was the five sea monsters with their upper bodies exposed on the sea.
Their bodies were pierced by a scarlet spear hundreds of meters long, piercing deep into the sea. Countless scarlet chains like glass were wrapped around them, fixing them in place and making it difficult for them to move.
On the spears and chains, there were dense and countless runes engraved. Just a cursory glance made Ryan feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
And the energy fluctuations of these five sea monsters, the lowest one, also had the legendary peak, and the strongest one even reached the legendary limit, but now, they were no different, imprisoned here, like a static sculpture.
"These sea monsters dared to attack the Witch Island, so they were all sealed here by Lord Scarlet."
A clear and proud voice came into Ryan's ears.
He turned his head and saw a witch floating in the air.
It was a very beautiful girl with a pair of snow-white wings behind her.
Even though he was used to the stunning looks of Freni and Cecilia, this girl still made Ryan's eyes light up.
Compared to her appearance, the words she said made Ryan care more.
"They were all suppressed by the Scarlet Witch?!"
Ryan was shocked.
Before coming to the Witch Island, Ryan had overestimated the strength of the Scarlet Witch, who was hailed as the world's number one witch. After all, without the premise of achieving legend, no matter how strong the extraordinary witch is, there is a limit. It is ridiculous to be able to cross the level and defeat the "first entry legend".
But now it seems that Ryan still underestimated it far.
What victory over the "first entry legend"? Even the "Legend Peak" and even the "Legend Limit" were forcibly suppressed by the Scarlet Witch like pigs and dogs, unable to move. Such strength, even if not a demigod, is the strongest among the legends.
After all, most of the sea monsters are the residual gods that have survived from the Age of Gods, and their strength is still much stronger than that of ordinary professionals of the same level.
How did the extraordinary witch have such strength?
Is it related to the complex runes on the spear and chain?
Ryan guessed.
"Hey, who are you? Why do you have Sister Xueliya's beacon?"
Ryan's contemplation was taken as fear by the Snow Wing Girl. She snorted and said viciously.
