After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 265: I accept your wishes

The air currents that rushed up into the sky formed a huge, tearing tornado.

All the giant trees within a radius of hundreds of meters were swept up by the tornado and flew high into the sky.

Green light flowed, and Ryan's figure appeared in the air.

Looking at the devastated ancient forest below, no, there is no forest anymore. Even the ground was lifted up where the tornado covered the area. Ryan's eyes were filled with solemnity.

In the raging wind that blocked out the sun and the sky, a huge brown-silver figure was looming.

The terrifying power of the ancient dragon makes all living creatures tremble.

The strong feeling of oppression made Ryan subconsciously tighten his muscles, and his whole body was in a posture ready to go.

The strong wind gradually died down, and the figure in the tornado finally appeared in Ryan's eyes.

A skin like rusted steel, a standard four-legged, two-winged ancient dragon skeleton, and the "wind armor" that surrounds its body.

-

[Rusted Steel Wind Dragon]: A fantasy ancient dragon species, a subspecies of the Steel Wind Dragon, a terrifying creature known as the "Lord of the Storm", with extremely outstanding flying ability and the ability to control the wind.

The Rusty Steel Wind Dragon has a copper-colored beak on its head, a pair of inconspicuous blue pupils, and a pair of horns facing backwards. The horns of the Rusty Steel Wind Dragon are closely connected to the organs that produce airflow in its body, and its biggest feature is the metal armor covering its entire body.

The skin of the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon will rust like real steel after being in contact with the air for a long time. At this time, the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon will try to shed its skin, but due to the great pain caused by shedding, the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon with rusty skin will also show ferocity far beyond its normal state.

The Rusted Steel Wind Dragon is a monster that is very good at aerial combat. When in the air, it will use its powerful flying ability to play with opponents on land. What's more terrifying is that the air cannons that the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon sprays in the air will form a long-lasting tornado-like air vortex on the ground to hurt and contain opponents.

Compared to ordinary steel wind dragons, the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon's body has undergone amazing evolution. Not only will its ability to manipulate wind no longer be weakened due to poisoning or horn damage, but it can also directly form a tornado on the ground and use the wind to lift itself into the air. At the same time, small tornadoes that can attract each other will form a larger explosive air vortex once multiple small tornadoes come into contact, with amazing destructive power.

To face the Lord of Storms, you need the courage to defeat natural disasters!

-

powerful!

Overwhelmingly powerful!

Even though they hadn't actually fought yet, the power of the ancient dragon alone was enough to make Ryan feel creepy.

"Phantasy Two Star? No, it's definitely not an ordinary Phantasy Two Star special species!"

Ryan took a deep breath, his heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

There is no doubt that the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon that appeared in front of him at this moment is likely to be a powerful existence with strength reaching the pinnacle of Dream Two Stars.

If he had just entered the second star of Fantasy, he would never have felt such a huge sense of oppression.

Its power to control storms far exceeds the damage caused to the environment by the Dream One-Star special species.

But at this point, Ryan had no chance of escape.

[Dream] The speed of the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon is too fast. It is the fastest special species he has ever seen.

Even the [Fantasy] Ice Thunder Qilin is a younger brother among younger brothers in front of the [Fantasy] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon.

Instead of running away, it is better to take this opportunity to test what kind of strength the top two-star fantasy has.

As Ryan made up his mind, a pale blue flame appeared on the surface of his body.

When facing a strong enemy like the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon, you must go all out from the very beginning.

"Roar!"

The rusted steel wings danced, and the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon shuttled through the storm. It was so fast that even Ryan could only see a vague black shadow flashing by.

Holding the hilt of the greatsword in his right hand, his blood and spirituality were compressed madly. When his speed was not as fast as that of the opponent, the best solution was to wait for the opponent to tire himself out.

The rage field and the sword field are compressed to a radius of only a hundred meters. In this case, the ability of perception is increased to an extremely high value.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

coming!

Ryan concentrated all his attention and sensed the dark shadow invading his area from the side and rear. Without any hesitation, he completed the charged sword and slashed towards that direction.

A huge sword energy of three colors, green, blue and red, swept over and collided head-on with the incoming black shadow.

"boom!"

Almost at the moment of collision, the spiritual giant sword exploded and was torn into countless spiritual light spots by the strong wind, and the huge dragon claws reached out again.

The moment the greatsword broke, Ryan began to retreat on his own initiative.

The rusty steel dragon claws continued to grow larger in his eyes. At the same time, Ryan held a big sword in his left hand, and blood was lingering in his right hand, and the true blood spear condensed out.

With his health fully depleted, Ryan's crosshairs were fixed on the center of the rusty steel dragon claw.

"Tear--"

Blood-red light penetrates the sky.

The forward movement of the rusty steel dragon claw came to an abrupt halt, and a spear of true blood stopped in front of the center of its dragon claw, being blocked by a layer of imperceptible wind barrier.

Ryan could clearly see that the Spear of True Blood pierced through the wind barrier, but after piercing through, it was powerless and shattered into pieces by the stranglehold of the strong wind.

Seeing this, Ryan did not hesitate at all.

The greatsword was suspended in the air, and his left and right hands respectively held a true blood spear, with two crosshairs overlapping. The next moment, the blood-red rainbow reappeared, accurately penetrating the weak point of the gale barrier that had not yet fully recovered.

"Puff! Puff!"

One spear broke through the gale barrier, one spear pierced the rusty steel scales on the body, and the last spear actually penetrated into the dragon claws of the [Dream] Rusty Steel Wind Dragon.

The severe pain caused the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon to let out a low roar.

Its rusty steel dragon wings waved vigorously in the direction of Ryan, and in an instant, two huge storm tornadoes rose from the ground. As they moved forward, the two tornadoes merged together to form a larger and more exaggerated super-giant tornado!

In the face of such violent wind power, Ryan could feel that his influence on the wind-attributed spirituality of the outside world had been weakened to the lowest level in history.

In this case, the power of the wind-related sword skills he displayed would be greatly reduced.

[Fantasy] Although the Rusted Steel Wind Dragon is a special species and not a true god-level, and its control over the "small world" is not as good as that of a true god-level, but at the fantasy two-star level, it is enough to completely crush Ryan in a collision of the same attributes.

The True Blood Spear attacked three times in a row, but it could only barely break through the defense. The True Blood Spear that pierced into the claws of the [Dream] Rusty Steel Wind Dragon could not even penetrate it.

On the one hand, the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon's defense is at the top level among the same level. On the other hand, the strength gap between Ryan and the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon is too huge.

After completing the upgrade again, his strength was at most comparable to that of an ordinary Fantasy Two-Star special species. It was too difficult for him to face the top Fantasy Two-Star.

A huge tornado that stretched from the sky to the ground was approaching. Ryan took a deep breath, leaned forward, and made a gesture as if drawing a sword.

At his side, the Power Servant burst out.

Green and red sword threads spread across the front, and with a "crack" sound, a super-giant tornado dissipated as it cut through space.

A rusty steel dragon shadow shot out from it, tearing the power waiter apart at a speed beyond the reaction ability of the naked eye, and then came in front of Ryan.

"call……"

Ryan's eyes were calm.

The big sword slashed out.

Special sword skill - Ring Slash.

"Crack!" The dark space crack tore open the gale barrier and broke the rusty steel dragon scales. However, the power of the storm wrapped in the dragon claws swept over Ryan's body.

I have to say that the [Innocent Dragon Armor] is of true artifact quality. Even after suffering a head-on blow, there is no sign of damage.

However, just because [Innocent Dragon Armor] can hold up doesn't mean Ryan's body can withstand it.

The indescribable recoil force knocked him down from mid-air and buried him deep in the ground.

Before he could recover from his stiffness, the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon had already flown into the air and opened its mouth.

next moment.

The pillar of storm that roared into the sky and shook the earth completely filled the pit where Ryan was.

[Dream] The Rusted Steel Wind Dragon flaps its wings, storms continue to form and converge into the Storm Pillar, causing its volume to constantly collide.

Ryan had to hide in the "Feast Space", however, the duration of the Pillar of Storm far exceeded his imagination. When the duration of the "Feast Space" ended, the Pillar of Storm not only showed no sign of stopping, but became even more violent.

Realizing this, Ryan gave up the idea of ​​using [Rage Reversal] to reset the "Feast Space".

The gap is just too big.

Moreover, they are of the same attribute, and the wind attribute is suppressed too badly.

In this situation, there is no point in fighting any further.

Right now, he is definitely no match for the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon.

Reality is reality and will not change no matter how firm your belief is.

The Pillar of Storm acts on the body.

The sight in front of him gradually fell into darkness. Due to the effect of the special skill, Ryan's vitality was forcibly locked, but soon he fell back to the bottom under the tearing of the storm.

Before leaving the Monster Hunter World, Ryan looked up and saw the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon in the storm, with a huge gap torn on its chest armor and blood gushing out, and a smile appeared on his face.

——When I become stronger, we will fight again.

……

The world before his eyes went from blurry to clear. Ryan exhaled lightly, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

How long has it been since the last time you died and left the Monster Hunter World?
This feeling of death is really hard to adapt to...

Walk onto the bed and open the door.

At this moment, there is just a glimmer of light where the sea and the sky meet, and it will take some time before sunrise.

Ryan walked to the bow deck and sat down.

This time, he did not meditate, but was simply in a daze.

It was not until the sound of light footsteps beside him that he was awakened from his daze.

Turning his head and looking at the smiling Franny, Ryan's depressed feeling was relieved a lot.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Ryan said with a smile.

"You're asking me? Aren't you the same?" Franny rolled her eyes at Ryan.

There was always a smile on the witch's lips, as if she had encountered something happy and was in a very happy mood.

Just when Ryan was puzzled.

"Qiang Qiang~"

"Look, what is this."

A milky white crystal was held in the girl's delicate and white palm and lifted in front of Ryan.

"Mr. Ryan, this is for you."

There was a smile on Freni's face, accompanied by a hint of pride.

"Ok?"

Ryan took the milky white crystal and took a look at it.

-

[Integrated Crystal·Essence]: An extremely special and rare concentrated crystal, the specific raw materials are unknown. After using it, you can [greatly] improve your own understanding within three days and integrate what you have learned. Please note that this item can only be used when you reach the fifth level. It is only effective for the first time, otherwise there will be unknown dangers.

-

"this?!"

Ryan was shocked.

Comprehension was something illusory and vague. Even for him, it was the first time he had seen something that could improve comprehension. It was also specially marked as a [huge] improvement, and the duration was an astonishing three days.

Seeing the shock on Ryan's face, Furenee said proudly:

"This is something I just found from... Augustus's heritage treasure trove."

"A treasure that can greatly improve your understanding."

"With a hundred years of accumulation in the assessment world, I have already comprehended many things. All I need is to try and verify them. Compared to me, Mr. Ryan, you must need this thing more."

"In your hands, the Storm Sword Art has reached a level that I don't understand. I think even the founder of this sword art is only at this level."

"But the road of swordsmanship is endless. With this item that increases your understanding, it will surely help you at the critical moment."

The witch lady's voice was as ethereal as a mountain spring, dripping into Ryan's heart.

He pursed his lips, and after a few seconds, a big smile appeared on his face: "...I accept your kindness."

“This thing is really helpful to me.”

After reaching the Grandmaster level, Storm Swordsmanship, Azure Swordsmanship, and Scorching Swordsmanship made almost no progress.

Ryan knew that there must be a higher realm above the Grandmaster.

However, the creators of these three sword techniques were only at the Grandmaster level. Even if they were resurrected, they would not be able to find a way to break through to the Grandmaster level.

All along, Ryan has been using clumsy methods to try to break through the limits of the Grandmaster - spreading swordsmanship throughout the world, using the world's wisdom to deduce, trying to find the possibility of a breakthrough.

This approach is indeed very feasible.

However, the time cost, power cost and other visible and invisible costs are too high.

It is impossible to do such a thing if you are not the master of a world.

Perhaps he had died before his swordsmanship became fully popular.

Therefore, a second path is needed, which is the path Ryan is trying now.

Integrate all sword techniques you have learned to create a sword technique that is unique to you.

Since the upper limit of the three sword techniques of Tianqing, Fengbao and Zhanyan when they were first created was only the grandmaster level, why couldn't he create a peerless sword technique that could theoretically reach a level above the grandmaster level?
The special sword skills - Dimension Slash and the special sword skills - Ring Slash are the results that Ryan explored based on this concept.

The emergence of [Integrated Crystallization Essence] will greatly speed up this process!
