Chapter 223 Ryan's Ambition
The wind swept, followed by ice and snow.
Amid the roar of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon, the sound waves wrapped in ice and snow swept the greatsword that was slashing towards Ryan.
Compared with natural wind and snow, the wind and snow sound waves from the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon are dozens of times more piercing and corrosive. Once the human body is touched by such a cold current, even a legendary professional will suffer from frostbite at the least, or die on the spot at the worst.
The speed of the ice and snow sound waves was very fast, and it penetrated Ryan's body in an instant.
However, it was only a shadow that penetrated.
Ryan, who slashed down the greatsword, disappeared, and was replaced by the red energy greatsword behind the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon.
The power servant softened the slash.
"Sizzle——"
The collision of extreme heat and extreme cold destroyed the hard skin on the back of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon's head, exposing the relatively soft internal body.
After breaking the hard skin, the Power Servant dodged to the side, followed by Ryan's Wandering Clone who completed the charged flame slash.
——Scorching Flame Sword Technique, the second sword skill, Slashing Flame Wind Blade.
"Sizzle!"
Just like a hot knife cutting oil, Ryan's sword energy slash deeply broke the flesh and blood of the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon, and even cut a deep mark on its hard skull.
In the crisis of life and death, the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon burst out all its potential.
The penetration holes on its wings were filled with red energy, and with these two filling holes as the starting point, a red pattern of spreading across the wings and the whole body was formed.
Red Radiance Rage!
From the beginning of the battle to now, in less than half a minute, the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon had to enter this desperate stage.
Although unlike the monsters on the mysterious island who would enter the Red Radiance Rage when they were on the verge of death, the monsters on the Everfrozen Continent would enter this desperate state very early, but only when they felt the crisis of life and death.
The surging red snow tide exploded in all directions, repelling Ryan and the Power Servant. The [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon flapped its wings, and with just one move, the violent air wave lifted up its huge body.
Ryan, who was pushed back more than ten meters by the air wave, remained calm, and a blood-red light flashed across his body. As his feet exerted force, spider-web-like cracks spread across the solid frozen soil.
——[Special Sword Skill·Attack Collision (Blade Heart Version)]!
The blood-red light soared into the sky, and it came above the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon at a speed far exceeding that of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon.
In Ryan's pupils, the spiritual light burned, and the whole person fell like a falling body, and slammed on the back of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon.
"Bang!"
In the distance, there was a sound of bone cracking, and the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon, which was about to take off, fell to the ground with a wail.
Another "Slashing Flame Wind Blade" fell, and the crack in the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon's skull continued to deepen.
The approach of death made the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon fall into madness.
The red light on its body suddenly burst out, and it actually soared hundreds of meters high, and was still rising into the air.
The violent airflow surged around the body, and Ryan, who was standing on the head of the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon, had a fierce look in his eyes.
In the world invisible to the naked eye, countless fine threads woven by lazy spirits fell and wrapped around the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon.
——[Silk of Sloth]
The gap in rank made the Silk of Sloth unable to turn the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon into a "Sloth Puppet", and the attached "stun" effect made the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon's rising body suddenly stagnate.
Taking this opportunity, Ryan's sword fell one after another, and forcibly smashed the [Forbidden] Frost Wing Dragon back to the ground.
"Boom!"
The impact of landing broke the ice fog in the sky.
After the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon broke free from the "dizzy" state, it burst up again.
This time, Ryan, who was prepared, cast [Silent Realm] the moment it spread its wings.
The ripples spread, and the impact of the barrier spread, causing the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon to fall into a "confinement" state.
The power servant appeared beside Ryan, one person and one servant, with the same posture, began to accumulate power.
The raging flames flew and raged on the big sword, like a tumbling fire dragon.
Then, the two big swords fell one after the other, overlapping in an "X" shape.
"Boom--"
The pillar of fire formed by the flames soared into the sky, melting the wind and snow within a radius of hundreds of meters.
When everything calmed down, half of the body of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon was charred, and the back of the head, which was the main attack point, was completely broken, and even the brain tissue inside was burned.
The charred body kept trembling, as if it wanted to stay open, but without the brain, even the most tenacious life could not survive. In the end, the body fell into coldness, and the fire of life was completely extinguished.
——[Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon, the crusade was successful!
"Bang!"
Ryan jumped off the corpse of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon and landed on the ground.
He put away the greatsword, exhaled lightly, and the tense muscles of his whole body slowly relaxed.
Looking at the dead [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon in front of him, Ryan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
It has been a long time since he directly killed a monster with a greatsword like this.
For quite a long time, he used [Gospel] to kill to harvest "residual blood".
Although this is convenient, it lacks a substantial feel.
Of course, the bigger reason is that the vitality and defense of monsters starting from the "crown" level are ridiculously high. At the same level, it is already difficult to break the defense. When the monster explodes with low health, it is safer to use [Gospel] to harvest it.
Although the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon is a "Taboo" level, on the one hand, as a very small species among the flying dragons, its vitality ranks last among the same level. On the other hand, Ryan's strength is much stronger than the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon, and it is naturally easier to use the strong to attack the weak.
If it is a taboo monster of the same level, Ryan wants to kill it directly with a big sword, the risk factor is too high. It is easy for the monster to not die, but he himself will be killed by the monster first.
Then he waved and released the power servant. Ryan looked at the dark golden light floating next to the corpse of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon.
It was a reverse scale
——
[Trophies: Frost Wing Dragon's Reverse Scale]: Dark gold level trophy, [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon's Reverse Scale, a dream treasure, is also regarded as a symbol of "Wind and Frost Hunter". Attached special skill [Ice attribute resistance lv.4]: Ice attribute resistance +15.
——
The special skills attached to the new loot are average, not very good, but not bad either.
Especially in a special environment like the Everfrost Continent, the role of ice resistance will reach its maximum.
In addition to the environment, the monsters living in the Everfrost Continent will have more or less ice attribute attacks.
And when the ice attribute resistance is high, even if you withstand the monster's ice attribute attack, the damage you receive will be greatly reduced.
The harvest of loot is just a byproduct, and what Ryan cares most about is the level increase.
As a forbidden one-star monster, the experience points brought by the subjugation of the [Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon are enough to fill up the experience bar in the future.
The warmth brought by the upgrade flows in his body, and Ryan looks at the prompt on the panel.
——
[You have killed "[Taboo] Frost Wing Dragon (Mark of Sloth)", the strength of both sides is being compared...]
[Comparison completed! 】

——
[Level]: 20 (55%) → 21 (2%)
[Spiritual Value]: 25722635 → 35722635
[Spirituality]: 291.7 → 321.7
[Physical Fitness]: 726.58 → 935.71
——
The power of a volcanic eruption gushed out in his body, causing bloody cracks to appear faintly on the surface of Ryan's body.
But soon, these bloody cracks disappeared under high-speed recovery.
Ryan clenched his fist.
The dual growth of spirituality and physical fitness made him feel like he wanted to smash the earth with one punch, especially the [Physical Fitness], which increased by 209 points, which was the highest one-time improvement he had ever had.
935.71, approaching a thousand points of [Physical Fitness], made Ryan vaguely feel a kind of "boundary".
A thousand points of [Physical Fitness] is likely to be the realm of demigod.
Although he has the strength beyond the "first entry into demigod", the travel clone relies on a lot of special skills to bless him, and his own attributes are not up to the level of demigod.
"Huh..."
With a long sigh, Ryan began to collect materials for the [forbidden] frost-winged dragon.
The acquisition of the special skill [ice attribute resistance] gave him the idea of creating a new protective gear.
In addition to the special skills of the protective gear, the basic attributes and resistance increases are very high.
Gear made from the body materials of the monsters of the Everfrost Continent will, if nothing unexpected happens, come with a high amount of ice attribute resistance.
As for the protective gear maker...
After unlocking the "furnace", as long as there is a powerful deformed soul and materials, Ryan can create powerful equipment with the assistance of Archbishop Luka.
It is impossible to use the furnace to refine equipment with pure materials.
It's just that Ryan doesn't have a powerful deformed soul now. To obtain that thing, he needs to go to the new travel world, and to adapt to the body materials of the forbidden monsters, at least a hero-level or fire king-level soul is required.
Regarding the deformed soul, Ryan's target is Saint Aiochlis.
However, Saint Aiochlis, who has devoured the gods, is not to be underestimated.
Ryan still remembers the air strike in the past.
Without really facing him, Ryan cannot accurately judge the strength of Saint Aiochlis, but he can preliminarily guess that he will never be weaker than the "senior demigod", and may even be stronger.
In this case, it is meaningless to go rashly. Ryan is ready to wait until the level of strength and swordsmanship is improved before trying to attack.
As for now... just use the crown protective gear on his body.
"Huhu..."
The sound of air flow came, and a smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth while he was collecting materials.
He turned his head and looked at the big silver flying low in the red mist.
After a while, the size of the big silver has become much larger.
On both sides of the smooth body, there are red stripes winding, and from the breath, it has become much stronger.
Although it has not reached the "taboo" level, it can be said to have reached the pinnacle of the "crown".
Looking at the large and small scars on Big Silver's body, Ryan touched its smooth head with some distress.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, judging from the scars all over his body, Dayin must have experienced countless bloody battles in the process of coming from the mysterious island to the frozen continent.
After collecting the materials, Ryan stood up and said, "Go and eat more."
Upon hearing this, Dayin cheered.
We haven’t seen each other for a while, but the way one person and one shark get along is still the same as in the past.
After glancing at Dayin who was immersed in the joy and satisfaction of tasting the flesh and blood of the forbidden monster for the first time, Ryan walked to a snow tree not far away, artificially dug a tree hole, sat in it, and began to meditate.
Although the battle with the [Forbidden] Frost Winged Dragon was not intense, Ryan gained a lot of insights into the Scorching Flame Swordsmanship, which he needed to digest as soon as possible. At the same time, he was also adapting to the sudden increase in his body.
With so much increase in [Physique] at once, even the master-level Storm Swordsmanship cannot adapt to it immediately, and it will take some time to adjust.
…
It was windy and snowy, two hours later.
Ryan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the thick snow outside the tree hole, and not far outside the tree hole, a "snow shark" lying on the ground, staring at him with two big eyes. .
Seeing Ryan open his eyes, "Snow Shark" shook off the snow on his body, then sprayed red mist from his pores, dispelling the chill on his body, and flew over low.
"Long time no see, Dayin."
"my good friend."
Ryan's voice was full of emotion.
Dayin didn't say anything, just rubbed Ryan's hand hard.
"Not bad, not bad. After eating the flesh and blood of the Frost Winged Dragon, you are only one step away from the taboo."
Ryan sounded pleased.
As a relatively small creature among the flying dragon species, the [Taboo] Frostwing doesn't have much flesh and blood left after collecting the materials.
"What are your plans next?"
Ryan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Dayin immediately performed a series of aerial performances for Ryan.
"You mean, you discovered an undercurrent under the Permafrost Continent, and you're going to follow that path, right?"
Ryan nodded thoughtfully and said, "You haven't reached the taboo yet. It's very dangerous to explore the underground undercurrents of the Permafrost Continent alone. So, let me follow you for a while, and after you eat taboo flesh again, How about raising your own strength to the taboo level and then exploring the undercurrent alone?"
Although one person and one shark can explore together, it can bring a lot of help to Ryan, but he will not ask Dayin to follow him because of this.
The relationship between one person and one shark has always been like this, and he is unwilling to break it.
After hearing Ryan's words, Dayin swam twice in the air and nodded.
It also feels that its current strength is a little weaker.
For example, this time, if Ryan hadn't been there, even if it killed the [Forbidden] Frost Winged Dragon through an ambush, it would have been in great danger to its life later.
After making the decision, one person and one shark faced the wind and snow and continued to explore the depths of the permanently frozen continent.
