After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 284 The Strongest

The [Black Rose] has been with Ryan and his companions for a long time.

It is just a high-level wonder. It was powerful enough in the past, but now it is no longer powerful enough.

It's fine to use it as a navigation tool at ordinary times, but if you really encounter any danger, even if you run at full speed, you can't outrun a true god-level professional.

Not to mention the main god level.

And the current ship, the [Montenegro], is quite good.

Because of the special nature of the ship, it is of true god-level quality. In terms of its rarity, it has reached the pinnacle of true god-level quality.

Even Akloi's capsized ship was not necessarily better in quality than the "Oskar".

Achloy, who was standing by, noticed Ryan's lingering gaze and said softly:

"You can take whatever you want."

"Without your help, the treasures in the treasury would be meaningless."

"Then I won't be polite." Ryan nodded and put the [King Whale Hunter] into his pocket.

The trip, which was originally thought to be fruitless, now had an unexpected surprise, which aroused Ryan's interest.

however.

Perhaps it was because the "Monte d'Or" had overdrawn its luck, and Ryan lost interest in the hundreds of collections he saw afterwards.

Precious potion materials, forged true artifacts, etc.

Although it is still okay, it does not improve Ryan's combat power at all.

He symbolically took a few weapons and rings of true god-level quality, ready to use them to feed the [Nameless Ship Sculpture] to see how much progress the true artifact-quality rare items could make.

It was not until he reached the deepest part of the inner vault that something appeared before his eyes that finally made Ryan's eyes light up.

It was a broken stone tablet.

The words engraved on it are already blurred.

But the fact that it is collected here is enough to prove its value.

And Acroy's explanation also sounded at this moment:
"This stone tablet is an ancient object that existed thousands of years ago."

"Thousands of years ago, I destroyed many dominant monsters in the New World, and then found this damaged stone tablet in the deepest part of the New World."

"It looks broken, but it's actually incredibly hard. Even at my peak, I couldn't leave the slightest mark on it."

"I didn't know what it did, so I brought it here."

Ryan looked at the broken stone tablet less than one meter long, and the introduction in front of him emerged before his eyes.

-

[Fragments of the Nameless Sword Monument]: Long ago, a powerful being named "￥%# (garbled code)" used the sword in his hand to carve a stone monument, on which was recorded an earth-shaking sword technique.

Unfortunately, over the long period of time, the sword monument has experienced destruction caused by several era changes and has become incomplete.

Attacking this sword monument with sword intent at the "transcendent" level may produce unknown effects.

-

Looking at the introduction in front of him, Ryan's calm eyes were filled with surging waves.

This was the first time he had seen such a thing, and even the panel could not show the existence of its name.

The last time he had a similar experience was when he first came into contact with the potion, and the panel prompted the information that one would be "watched" after the seventh level of the normal path.

However, it was clearly shown at the time, but disappeared afterwards.

It’s not like now, even the display can’t be displayed.

What level of strength does one have to be to be called the “strongest”?

After who knows how many years, the panel still cannot display his name.

"I'll take this thing away."

After a long silence, Ryan spoke.

"Please, there's no use for me to keep it." Akroy didn't ask any more questions.

She has possessed this thing for a thousand years, but has never gained anything. This shows that she has no destiny with this thing, and if she forcibly possesses something that she has no destiny with, it will eventually lead to disastrous consequences.

As for whether Ryan knew the function and origin of this thing, it had nothing to do with her and she would not ask.

Ryan nodded and picked up the fragment of the nameless sword monument.

It is not heavy to buy and can be stored in the space ring.

It just so happened that the space ring that Ryan had found in the inner treasury before was an ultra-large space ring with a terrifying capacity of 1000*1000*1000 meters, and its name was [Sumeru Ring].

The material used is the same as that of the [Monarch Whale Hunter], and it is probably made of leftover materials.

[Sumeru Ring], one is equivalent to countless space rings.

With it, Ryan no longer has to worry about wasting materials after traveling around the world and defeating monsters.

After leaving the royal treasury, Ryan quickly separated from Achloe and returned to the Black Rose alone.

Freni and Cecilia are still in seclusion, so it is not convenient to change ships at this time.

Standing on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, Ryan looked towards the distant south, thinking about his next plan.

After the fall of the Golden Church, people from the Golden Sect will definitely come to find out what happened.

Of course, there is no need to worry too much.

After all, a professional who can come to the new sea area will not be very strong, unless he does not care about his future and forcibly overdraws his essence.

With Akloi's strength, he is able to deal with the attackers.

Ryan was thinking about the next itinerary for himself and Frannie.

He must go to the restricted sea area.

Not only for Freni, but also for himself.

Ryan never thought of sitting back and watching his enemies grow stronger.

His belief is that revenge should be taken as soon as possible.

The feud between him and the Golden Sect has become so deep that it cannot be alleviated.

Not only does the Golden Sect want to resolve "uncertainties" like Ryan, Ryan also wants to completely destroy the Golden Sect.

Of course, ideas are one thing, and Ryan is also self-aware.

At the moment, his strength is still too weak.

In the early days of heading to the restricted sea area, the main focus was on gathering intelligence.

As for when to depart?
Let’s talk about it after the two women come out of seclusion.

At the very least, we have to explore the remaining Great Witch heritage in the New World, right?
Freni said that there is more than one heritage site in the New World.

Having gained so many benefits from the Great Witch of Wood, Ryan is looking forward to exploring the Great Witch's heritage site.

With nothing to do, Ryan sat cross-legged on the deck and began to experience the memory of "Sword of Transcendence" in his mind again and again.

Until the sun in the distance sinks into the line where the sea and the sky meet.

Ryan shook his head.

Experiencing the "Sword of Transcendence" for a long time made him mentally exhausted.

He ate his meal, fed Da Zi, and rubbed the faucet angrily. Amid the latter's angry "owl", Ryan laughed and left.

By the time it was almost midnight, Ryan had readjusted his condition.

Lying down on the bed and closing his eyes, Ryan muttered to himself.

"Travel, start!"

……

The ship arrived at the station smoothly during the smooth voyage. Ryan opened his eyes and saw the ancient tower not far away.

Looking at this scene, emotion appeared in his eyes.

Ever since he guessed that the God of Wind might not be dead yet, Ryan subconsciously stayed away from the tower, not to mention the "Ancient Temple of Freedom" above the tower.

Now that he has returned with strength, there is no need to be shy about anything.

He took a step forward and his body floated in the air. Soon, Ryan reached the top of the tower and landed on the ground of the ancient Temple of Freedom.

A green light floated, and the ancient book of freedom flashed in front of Ryan. The green light trembled violently, as if expressing something.

Unfortunately, a thin film of sword energy blocked it outside, and no matter how hard the Ancient Book of Freedom tried, it could not shake it at all.

After a few seconds, the green light on the surface of the Ancient Book of Freedom dimmed.

Ryan glanced at it without paying much attention. Instead, he cast his gaze on the stone statue in the center of the temple and said loudly: "Wind God, don't you plan to come out and see me?"

"If so, then I'll leave."

With strength that exceeds the limits of a true god, Ryan can easily travel around this world.

He didn't have to wait long. About three seconds later, a light breeze blew in the temple, and blue light particles visible to the naked eye gathered to form the shape of a young man.

He looked very young, but his slowly opening eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes that did not match his age.

The four looked at each other, and the young man spoke first:
"Traveler, first time meeting you."

"Formally introduce myself. I am the God of Wind - the God of Wind - the Magnetizer Ericd."

"To be precise, it is a remnant of his soul."

"Ryan, you can call me Traveler." Ryan also briefly introduced himself.

"No more nonsense."

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Tell me where the source of the 'disaster' is, and I will solve it. This is my way of repaying you for helping me when I first came to this world."

"..." After a moment of silence, Magnetizer Eric nodded and said, "Okay."

"But before that, I want to make a deal with you."

"The soul in your armor is one of my scattered soul sub-bodies. I can exchange it with a soul of the same level. As for the method of extracting the soul, I believe you have also used the 'Furnace Refining'. I have a more powerful [Initial Furnace] here."

"【Initial Furnace】?" Ryan became interested when he heard this thing.

Due to the limitation of its own quality, the [Old Furnace] can only refine items of the top artifact quality at most, while the [Initial Furnace] is much more powerful than the Old Furnace.

"The [Old Furnace] is a replica of the [Original Furnace]." Magnetician Ericde said calmly, "It's just that the [Original Furnace] is polluted and is now located at the 'source of the disaster'. If you can solve the 'source of the disaster', then I can help you activate the [Original Furnace] and complete various operations."

"Then let's talk about the deal after I solve the 'source of disaster'." Ryan spread his hands: "You can't let me go to fight shirtless, right?"

The Magnetizer Ellicod was silent.

In fact, He really wanted to say that with the aura Ryan was showing now, even if he didn't wear any protective gear or hold any weapons, he could probably suppress the "source of the disaster" with just his fists.

But it is really impolite to say such things.

"……it is good."

Finally, the Magnetist Ellicod spoke like this.

Then, He raised his hand and pointed towards the pool in front of the statue.

Thousands of breezes gathered together to form a rotating space portal.

"This portal leads to the area where the 'source of the disaster' is located - the royal city of Saint Glass."

“It’s very dangerous out there.”

"Under the distortion of the 'Source of Disaster', the creatures there have undergone unimaginable changes."

"I don't know the details. After all, I am just a remnant soul, and my power is really limited."

"That's enough." Ryan waved his hand nonchalantly.

For him, it was already very good that the God of Wind could open the teleportation portal and help him save time on the journey.

As for how to solve the “source of disaster”?
That's Ryan's job.

"A thousand winds bless you." The Magnetizer Ericide stroked his chest gently.

Ryan raised his hand and shook it, without saying anything, he stepped directly into the portal.

The next moment, green light burst out, and Ryan's figure disappeared along with the portal.

In the Canggu Freedom Temple, the Magnetizer Eric remained silent for a long time before he sighed leisurely:
"A thousand winds will eventually bring the light of hope... So this is what the prophecy means..."

……

When the green light in front of his eyes faded, Ryan found himself in the sky with strong winds.

The body is falling rapidly downwards.

Ten times the gravity was a minor problem for him in the past, but now...

With just a thought, Ryan stood steadily in mid-air.

He lowered his head and looked at the magnificent city in the distance, with amazement in his eyes.

"Pity……"

After exclaiming, Ryan shook his head.

Who could have imagined that the former royal capital, where countless heroes from all over the world gathered, would now become the birthplace of brewing disasters?

Ryan still remembered that the last time he heard the name of the Royal City of Saint Glass was from the Yellow Cult Archbishop Luca - the gray corpses infected by the Gray Erosion Disease, when they grow to the final stage, will transform into a monster called "Pilgrim" and return to the Royal City.

Ryan looked up and could roughly see several monsters with a wingspan of over 100 meters, shaped like super kites, flying slowly towards the sky above the royal city.

"interesting."

Ryan's heart moved, and he flew directly in that direction.

From what is known so far, there is a strong connection between "ash erosion disease" and the "source of the disaster."

The royal city was huge, and no one knew where the "source of the disaster" was.

And if you follow the trail of the "pilgrims", you may find unexpected results.

Ryan was very fast and caught up with the pilgrim in a very short time.

Although these pilgrims look weak and powerless, the soul strength they exude is almost at the heroic level.

Unfortunately, with this level of strength, even being able to detect Ryan is a luxury.

Following the pilgrims all the way, Ryan soon locked onto the pilgrims' final destination.

It was a tall tower standing inside the royal city.

Even in the majestic royal city, this tall tower is extremely conspicuous.

The pilgrims landed on the top of the tower, and their gigantic wings, or rather, wings formed by countless filaments, wrapped around the tower, allowing it to absorb the essence of their souls until it completely dried up and turned into flying catkins, drifting away into the distance with the wind.

Ryan's eyes were fixed on the tower, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

When he is not strong enough, he will sneak in to investigate.

But now...

"Chong-"

The great sword was drawn.

The magnificent silver sword light tore through the sky and passed through the middle of the tower.

"Boom!"

The collapsed tower let out an anthropomorphic wail, and the next moment, a pale hand stretched out from the broken part of the tower.

"...Who... dares... to invade the palace..."
