After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 246 I wish you a sweet dream, Miss Cecilia

When Ryan opened his eyes, what appeared in his eyes was the dark night and the blood moon hanging quietly in the sky.

"came back……"

Ryan let out a breath and slowly stood up.

His goal during this trip was to forge new weapons and protective gear.

Now that it's done, there's no need to stay too long.

However, when leaving, Ryan specifically told Archbishop Luca to vigorously promote the three swordsmanships of Storm, Azure and Burning Flame within the sphere of influence of the Brass Church in the past and the influence of the Yellow Sect today.

And, let Quinn carry the bone fragments to the teleportation base and go to the royal city - Saint Geras - the destination of the "Pilgrim", the final form of Gray Erosion.

The water in the new world is very deep, and there are countless powerful people hidden in it, and the royal city of Saint Geras is where all the heroes gather.

It is a long way from the Yellow Sect's sphere of influence to the royal city - Saint Geras. It takes a lot of time to travel, and for Ryan, it is not worth spending time on the road.

The bone fragment transmission base point is the positioning anchor point of the bone fragment as a teleportation prop. As long as Quinn arrives at the royal city-Saint Glass and puts it down, when Ryan enters a new travel world next time, he can be directly teleported through the bone fragment. Go to the royal city and save a lot of time.

Turning his thoughts back, Ryan raised his head and looked at the ninth-level death pillar in front of him.

During this trip, although the traveling clone has not been upgraded, the newly acquired protective gear and sword greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

By taking this challenge, you can be more confident even when facing the "Lord of the Dead Moon".

The ninth level Pillar of Death is 900 meters high and nearly 900 meters in diameter, and this place is the closest place to the blood moon in the sky in the Back of the Tree and Dark Necropolis.

Ryan stepped onto the highest pillar, and to his surprise, he saw no sign of any living beings on the vast platform.

What about the Guardians?

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Perception expands and radiates around. With his current spirituality, the field is enough to cover the entire ninth level Death Pillar.

But even so, there was still no sign.

Seeing this, Ryan raised his head and looked at the blood moon in the sky.

I don't know if it was because of the special nature of this place, but when Ryan looked up at the blood moon, he had the feeling that the other party was also looking down at him.

Soon, Ryan knew that this was not an illusion.

because--

The blood moon is falling!

"boom!"

In just a few seconds, the blood moon, wrapped in bloody tail flames, crashed onto the ninth-level death pillar.

The spreading air waves surged in front of Ryan like an exploding ring-shaped sound barrier.

In the smoke and dust, a strong and perfect body slowly emerged.

She was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the blood-colored stabbing sword inserted into the ground with one hand. She was wearing a female armor woven with the light of the blood moon, and her bloody hair was flying back in the strong wind.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ryan sighed, but there was not much surprise in his eyes.

Just as in the capital of the Kingdom of Trees, there are two beings, the Blue Dragon and the Princess of the Forest, who are one and the same as Freni, it is not surprising that there are such beings in the Dark Cemetery of the Back of the Tree.

After climbing all the way, without ever seeing Cecilia, Ryan knew that Miss Wolf Girl had most likely fallen here.

As the inheritor of the Moon Wolf King, if Cecilia was normal, it would be impossible to allow the existence of an abnormal moon like the blood moon.

Even if she is not the opponent of the Lord of the Dead Moon, at least she will continue to work hard on the road to challenge, instead of being like this without any movement.

Of course, the Blood Moon incarnation with the same appearance as Cecilia in front of her is not Cecilia herself. Although the bond with the wolf girl is not as good as that of Freni, Ryan still won't admit it.

This blood moon incarnation should, at best, be a brand new individual fabricated by the Dark Necropolis by collecting the soul breath leaked by Cecilia after she failed to challenge the Pillar of Death, and combining it with the power of the blood moon.

As for where Cecilia’s true identity is?

Ryan estimated that with the character of the wolf girl, on the premise that she was unable to challenge the ladder of successful death, she would use the body of a "wandering soul" to continuously challenge and hunt wandering souls in the dark cemetery to strengthen herself.

What Ryan needs to do is to kill all the enemies that appear in front of him!

In the faint blood-colored smoke, the incarnation of Blood Moon slowly stood up. As she moved, the blood-colored stabbing sword inserted into the ground was pulled out little by little. Finally, its tip was revealed, causing even the space to ripple. Dazzling edge.

The quality of this blood stabbing sword has definitely reached the level of an artifact!

This thought came to Ryan's mind, and immediately, the fighting spirit in the depths of his pupils became more intense.

If you can't give the newly obtained weapon [Ember-Severing Great Sword·God-Eating] and protective equipment [Unstained Dragon Armor] a try, wouldn't you be ashamed of the hard work that went into the refining process?
The purple-black sword was slowly drawn out, and red crack lines spread on the sword.

Ryan raised his head and looked into the dark red eyes of Blood Moon's incarnation.

When their eyes met, time seemed to have stopped.

The moonlight fell on the sword in Ryan's hand, reflecting the misty brilliance.

At this moment, the blood moon incarnation moved.

Silently, the Blood Stabbing Sword had already struck in front of Ryan. On its path, a long black line appeared, and there was a chilling sound in it.

Ryan's eyes were as calm as ice, without any trace of panic. Under the double observation of his compressed sword field and rage field, every inch of the blood stabbing sword's progress was as clear as observing with a magnifying glass.

"Qiang!"

The big sword was lifted up, and the sword edge accurately touched the front of the stabbing sword.

"boom!"

The next moment the two came into contact, the incarnation of Blood Moon felt as if it had been hit hard, and its entire body flew backwards.

Ryan's seemingly ordinary flirtation not only contains the "triple charge" technique, but also combines the "special sword skill and defensive collision", which has extremely terrifying counterattack power.

The stabbing sword is a type of weapon whose attack method is mainly thrusting and has a strong armor-piercing effect. Therefore, its performance emphasizes sharpness.

As for the [Ember-Severing Great Sword·God-Eating Great Sword], its main characteristics are thickness and toughness. The quality of its apex artifact is much higher than that of the Blood Stabbing Sword, which is also an artifact. It cannot be penetrated by the Blood Stabbing Sword at all. On the contrary, the blood stabbing sword was damaged during the collision due to the characteristics of the great sword itself.

With just one collision, Ryan had an estimate of the strength of Blood Moon's incarnation.

Not surprisingly, he is a peak demigod.

If the weapons and protective equipment were not updated before encountering the incarnation of the blood moon, Ryan's sword would not be able to prevent the stabbing of the blood stabbing sword so easily. In high-frequency collisions, [Volumely Great Sword·Wolf Blood Oath] 】On the contrary, there is a possibility of collapse first, and compared to the sword, the protective gear is more precarious.

It will be an extremely difficult battle, and even Ryan is not sure whether it can win.

But now...

The incarnation of Blood Moon who wields a stabbing sword is an "assassin", while Ryan, holding a sword and wearing armor, is a "warrior". With the same strength and the same equipment, if an "assassin" meets a "warrior", the possibility of victory is extremely slim.

And the incarnation of Blood Moon in the distance seemed to be aware of this.

After landing on the ground, blazing blood flames ignited all over her body, forming a pair of blood bat wings, and the blood stabbing sword in her hand became thicker and longer, changing from a stabbing sword to a spear.

"Silk--"

The blood wings shook, and the figure of the blood moon disappeared in an instant.

When she reappeared, she was already a thousand meters away in the sky, raising her hands and bending her body to accumulate strength.

The rich bloody moonlight gathered on the spear, and in a very short period of time, the light reached its peak.

In the next moment, the spear of blood was thrown from the hand of Blood Moon's incarnation, turning into a bright meteor that penetrated the sky. Its speed was so fast that even the field could not lock it.

"It's kind of interesting..."

Ryan's eyes showed excitement. This time, he did not choose to block with his big sword. The blood was thick and the blood barrier was propped up.

However, under the penetration of the blood-colored spear, the blood barrier only lasted less than 0.1 seconds before falling apart and falling onto the armor on Ryan's chest.

"clang--!"

Violent tremors resounded in all directions, and Ryan took three steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint on the solid platform.

Ryan lowered his head and looked at the slightly concave white mark that appeared on his chest armor.

Under his gaze, this shallow mark repaired itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But in the blink of an eye, the scene returned to its original state.

Its defensive power is so terrifying that it has simply reached a sensational level.

"It is worthy of being a protective gear that is only a little short of being promoted to a true divine weapon. While its defensive performance is outrageous, it also has a certain degree of self-healing function..."

Ryan sighed in his heart, and then he raised his head and smiled at the incarnation of the blood moon standing high in the sky: "I've been beaten by you. Next, it's my turn."

He twisted his neck.

After testing the performance of the sword and protective gear, it was time to get down to business.

Even with one explosive blow, it was unable to break through the enemy's defense. At this sight, even the Blood Moon Avatar was stunned for a moment.

But before she could make the next reaction, green light circulated, and Ryan had already arrived in front of the incarnation of the blood moon.

An illusory crown of power appeared on top of Ryan's head, causing the blood moon incarnation's eyes to become distracted as he looked directly at Ryan.

——[Saints Crown]!
And in this brief absence of concentration, Ryan's "God-Splitting" slash had already landed on the incarnation of Blood Moon.

"Boom!"

A sonic boom cloud exploded in mid-air.

A figure fell rapidly from the center of the sonic boom cloud and crashed into the ground of the platform.

Smoke and dust swept across, and the platform cracked.

Ryan's figure was like a falling meteor, rushing straight into it before the smoke and dust dispersed.

"clang!"

The blood spear and the purple-black sword collided one after another in the smoke and dust. Every time they clashed, the strong backlash caused a crack to appear on the surface of the blood spear.

After nearly a hundred collisions, the accumulated cracks have reached the limit. With a crisp "bang" sound, the blood spear exploded into light spots all over the sky. Then, Ryan's sword struck the incarnation of Blood Moon. On the chest.

"Crack!"

With the blessing of 6 points of sharpness in [Ingenuity lv.15], even a sword that is not known for its sharpness is extremely sharp. The armor of the blood moon is not of artifact quality, and it explodes with just one attack. Come.

"Snapped!"

The heavy sword slash was like a mountain crashing down. Without any protection, the Blood Moon Avatar who was hit directly on his body immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist flows and gathers, forming the body of Blood Moon's incarnation not far away.

Compared with before, the burning blood inflammation on her body became more raging, and there was a gap between her eyebrows and forehead, and there was an eye shaped like a blood-colored full moon.

A strange feeling of threat emerged from Ryan's heart.

There's something wrong with this bloody eye!
Realizing this, Ryan immediately stopped his idea of ​​continuing to "play".

Green light circulated, "Broken Wind" was used, and Ryan's figure disappeared from the spot. Just the next moment he completed this action, a ray of blood was emitted from the blood eyes of the Blood Moon incarnation, piercing through his previous position.

"Ding--"

Ryan came behind the Blood Moon Incarnation, and before the Blood Moon Incarnation could react, [Silent Boundary] and [Thread of Sloth] were activated.

The combination of imprisonment + dizziness caused the body of Blood Moon to freeze in mid-air.

Then, behind Ryan, the blue flames expanded, forming a ferocious beast and pounced towards the incarnation of Blood Moon.

[Blue King], explode!
A large real explosion turned the body of the incarnation of Blood Moon into tatters, and even the "blood core" hidden in its body, which was as small as dust, was blown out.

Ryan didn't know about the existence of the "blood core", but for him, it didn't matter whether he knew it or not.

With the activation of [Rage Reversal], all his skills have completed their cooldown, including the "Blue King" that he had just used once.

The blue flames rose again, and the ferocious beast once again pounced on the incarnation of Blood Moon.

At this time, the Blood Moon incarnation, although its vitality was extremely weak, finally got rid of control, and the blood eyes on its forehead faced Ryan.

"Pfft!"

The blood-colored light beam penetrated the sky and landed on Ryan's eyebrows, being blocked by the helmet.

Even with the protection of [Innocent Dragon Armor], Ryan could still feel the cold erosion.

He raised his hand, pointed it in the direction of Blood Moon's incarnation, and grabbed it hard.

【Gospel】, explode!
Dark purple lines spread all over the body, the Blood Moon incarnation let out a sharp scream, and the "blood core" in its body shone brightly. When all of this fell into silence as the sickle blade in the hand of the Death God's phantom slashed by.

In the process of falling, the body of Xue Yue's incarnation turned into bits of broken ash and dissipated in mid-air.

——The ninth-level defender of the Pillar of Death, the incarnation of the Blood Moon, has been killed!

Ryan raised his head and looked at the blood moon in the sky, his eyes becoming more solemn.

He has never forgotten that his real enemy is not the incarnation of the Blood Moon, but the "Lord of the Dead Moon".

Time becomes quiet.

Under Ryan's surprised gaze, the color of the moon in the night sky gradually changed from its original blood color to white.

During this process, Ryan could "feel" Bloody's struggle, but in the end, he still couldn't stop it.

With a faint wailing, the moon turned completely white, and a figure surrounded by countless moonlight particles appeared in front of Ryan.

She closed her eyes tightly and curled up, protected by the moonlight.

Looking at the person in front of him, Ryan had a smile on his face.

"Have a sweet dream, Miss Cecilia."

The changes in front of him let Ryan know that Miss Wolf Girl's assessment did not require him to defeat the "Lord of the Dead Moon".

To be precise, the "Lord of the Dead Moon" is Cecilia herself, but she has not yet completed her pregnancy.

When Cecilia failed to challenge the Death Pillar for the first time, she was captured by the Blood Moon and tried to transform her into the "Lord of the Death Moon". Naturally, Cecilia rose up to resist.

However, with her spiritual will, without external help, she will eventually fail as time goes by.

In fact, the incarnation of Blood Moon that Ryan had just defeated was Blood Moon's last and strongest resistance to him, an outsider.

And with the death of the blood moon incarnation, Cecilia's crisis and assessment were naturally overturned.

Compared to Freni's assessment of the World Tree Capital, Cecilia's Tree Back is relatively more straightforward. As long as she is strong enough, she can just force her way through like Ryan.

A few seconds later, the world in front of Ryan's eyes rippled.

With a shaking, he returned to the real world.
