After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 287 New Protective Gear, [True Rusted Fire Dragon Armor]

Looking at the greatsword in front of him that was rusty and flowing with magma, Ryan's eyes showed satisfaction.

The quality is at the pinnacle of a true god, and it is expected to be upgraded to a main artifact by killing enemies.

How could he be dissatisfied with such a weapon?

More importantly, the special effects of this greatsword are more suitable for him.

For Ryan now, those offensive fighting skills, miracles and so on are meaningless.

His foundation lies in swordsmanship, and adding other means is of little significance in the battles between true god level and main god level.

But blessing miracles like [Remnant Fire] are different.

It can be perfectly integrated into Ryan's existing system.

It's so cool to have a shot before or during the fight.

[Ember] - After using this miracle, you enter the "Ember State", increasing your vitality, physique, and spirituality by 30%.

The high bonus of 30% is enough to raise Ryan's combat effectiveness to a higher level.

There is also the secret of sword soul.

The previous Sword Soul Ultimate skills mainly involved summoning Sword Souls to fight in coordination.

This ability is not weak, but it doesn't mean much to Ryan.

And now the Sword Soul's ultimate skills are quite good.

He simply abandoned summoning and instead used the power of the sword soul to improve the performance of the weapon itself.

All in all, this is a nearly perfect greatsword. Its only shortcoming may be that it has not yet reached the level of a major artifact.

After looking at the attributes of the greatsword, Ryan turned his attention to the protective gear.

Compared to the previous [Innocent Dragon Armor], the new protective gear is rusty all over, like rusty metal, but its protective power is far beyond anyone's imagination.

-

[True Rust Fire Dragon Armor]: The pinnacle of true artifacts, just a hair away from becoming a main artifact. This armor set is made from [Dream] ancient dragon materials and the chaotic souls of the Cinder Kings through a furnace. It includes five parts: helmet, chest armor, wrist armor, waist armor, and leg armor. The special forging method creates a close connection between the five parts. When equipped separately, it only has basic defense and resistance effects. Once equipped at the same time, it will produce a wonderful reaction.

套装基础总属性：伤害减免70%（存在位阶判定）、火属性抗性+60、雷属性抗性+40、冰属性抗性+20、毒属性抗性-30、龙属性抗性-20。

Set skills: [The True Meaning of Rusted Fire], [Concentration lv.5], [High Spirit lv.5].

With special skills: [Inheriting the Torch]: The blessing of the Fire Kings gives this armor the possibility to go further. Every time it is broken, the armor can be automatically repaired and its performance will be further improved to the main god level.

Inlay skill: [Fatal Strike lv.1]

——[True Meaning of Rusted Fire]: [Dream] The dragon soul of the ancient dragon and the blessings of the fire kings run through it, unlocking the skills [Concentration] and [High Spirits] with a level cap of 5, bringing the maximum level cap to 8.

——[Concentration lv.5]: The charging time of the great sword is reduced by 50%, and the special energy bar accumulation speed is +50% (the corresponding ability is not currently mastered, this effect cannot take effect)

——[High Spirit lv.5]: When entering the battle in full state, the fighting spirit is high and the heart rate is +50%. After the state drops, it can still last for 30 seconds.

——[Fatal Strike lv.1]: When causing damage to the enemy's vital parts, total damage +30%.

[This strange object contains a "huge amount" of spiritual essence, which can improve the repair rate of [Unnamed Ship Sculpture] after being absorbed. 】

-

The properties of [True Rusted Fire Dragon Armor] are significantly different from those of the previous [Innocent Dragon Armor], except for the attached special skills.

The reason for this is naturally the result of Ryan's deliberate control.

Although there is some randomness in the refining process in the furnace, it is still largely influenced by the subjective consciousness of the person who is refining it.

The original skills of the protective gear are very good and there is no need to change them. The improvement in quality this time is mainly to strengthen the original skills.

At his current level, Ryan's speed of accumulating power is already very fast, but it would certainly be a good thing if it could be even faster.

With the help of his skills, he was very close to being able to perform a charged attack and a basic attack...

After putting on the new protective gear and weapons, Ryan, with a more powerful aura, smiled and said to the Magnetizer Ericd who was still in shock from the [Secondary Gold Droplet]:
"Everything here is over."

"It's time for me to leave too."

"The root cause of the disaster has been eradicated. The remaining work is what you, the god, and your people should do."

"I don't know when I will come next time."

"Oh, by the way, I need to trouble you with something."

The Magnetizer Elricde came back to his senses and took a deep breath, then said solemnly: "You said, within my ability, I will never refuse."

"Haha, it's not a big deal." Ryan waved his hand: "I left the inheritance of Storm Sword Art to the Yellow Sect, and I left the inheritance of Star Sword Art to the Demon King Laos. If conditions permit, help me promote these two sword arts as much as possible."

"The more I practice swordsmanship, the more I feel how insignificant I am. By gathering the wisdom of all living beings in the world, maybe I can find the direction to follow?"

Ryan felt that the realm of transcendence was not necessarily the highest realm of swordsmanship.

What is left now is just a seed.

Maybe it's meaningless.

But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
"I will." Magnetizer Ericide nodded vigorously.

"Well, that's it." Ryan took a step forward and his body disappeared instantly.

With his current strength, if he doesn't want others to know, no one can find his trace.

Inside the Canggu Freedom Temple.

The God of Wind, Magnetizer Ericid, looked at the direction where Ryan disappeared, his eyes leisurely:

"The hope brought by Qianfeng..."

"Mother, your predictions have never been wrong."

……

The world before my eyes is bright again.

After finishing his journey, Ryan opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, and smiled knowingly.

The acquisition of new powerful protective gear and weapons has greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

The next time he travels, it will be time for him to get back at the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

After pushing the door open and teasing Da Zi for a while, Ryan stood alone on the deck.

It is estimated that Freni and Cecilia have received a huge amount of inheritance, which is why they are both still in seclusion.

Ryan did not continue to meditate during his long-awaited free time. Instead, he made a fishing rod and started fishing at the bow of the boat.

With his current state of mind, he can sense every detail of the situation within a radius of one kilometer.

But this takes away the fun of fishing.

So he abandoned his perception and experienced the long-lost tranquility in the sea breeze.

Speaking of the last time he went fishing, it was a long time ago. At that time, he was competing with Freni, and the witch used the shameful "fish blasting" tactic to win, which made Ryan still feel aggrieved about it.

This is a disgrace to fishermen!

He must improve his skills so that in future competitions, even if Miss Witch uses shameless fishing tactics, he will use absolute skills to win the game!

This is the determination of a fisherman!
……

At dusk, Ryan reluctantly put away his fishing rod.

Today's harvest, none.

I don’t know if it’s because the fish in the new sea area are too smart, but today, not only was there no fishing, but even the fish hooks didn’t take a bite.

This disappointed Ryan.

The first day of the fisherman's training ended with air force.

All I can say is that there is a lot of room for improvement, which is cause for celebration.

Ryan quietly watched the afterglow of the sunset.

The golden light is very long.

……

Deeper in the new sea area is a deep sea area called the Forbidden Sea Zone.

The difference between the two sea areas lies not only in the danger, but also in the huge difference in the concentration of spiritual energy. A thin film that is invisible to the naked eye perfectly wraps the forbidden sea area, so that the spiritual energy gathered in it will not be lost over time.

At this moment, at the junction of the sea areas.

A figure was walking on the sea.

His movements were slow, but in fact each step he took often covered a distance of several kilometers.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the invisible film.

This is an old man with white hair.

He was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and looked like an ordinary old man. Only the golden tree-shaped lines on his forehead revealed his peculiarity.

If any powerful force in the forbidden sea area saw the old man, they would surely shout out his identity in horror.

Ascetic.

This is a group of extraordinary people within the Golden Sect who are different from the mainstream faction and who advocate physical asceticism.

When they are at a low level, they can almost be said to be the weakest among all professions.

But when reaching the intermediate and even advanced levels, this situation is completely reversed.

There is no need for secret techniques or weapons or protective gear, because their bodies are the strongest weapons.

That body, comparable to a divine weapon, can crush the enemy in any environment.

Therefore, ascetics are also called troublemakers, and they are the birds of death that bring disaster.

Now, the death bird is about to land in a new sea area.

His goal is clear and his route is distinct.

That is the New World.

……

The night is getting darker.

Ryan lay alone on the bed, quietly waiting for time to pass.

Zero o'clock finally arrived.

He closed his eyes.

Red Dragon, it's time to decide the outcome.

As light and shadows flowed, Ryan came to the permafrost continent where snow and wind were howling.

He walked to the campfire, ready to teleport to the place where demons gathered, but a casual glance from the corner of his eye made him stop his movements abruptly.

On the mast of the ship, the letter for help that had not appeared for a long time reappeared, flashing a faint light.

Dayin’s letter for help?

He hadn't seen Dayin for a long time since their last separation. Given that guy's current strength, it must be no small matter for it to send out a letter for help.

Walking to the mast, the panel prompt appeared.

[Your partner, Big Silver (Red Silverback Shark), has sent you a request for help. Its current location is: Eastern Coast, Coastal Area of ​​the Everfrozen Continent.]

Coastal area?
Ryan was stunned for a moment before he realized that the coastal area should be the coast before entering the snow forest area.

However, the monsters living in this area are not very strong. How could they threaten Dayin and cause it to send a letter for help?
Ryan looked puzzled.

But he did not hesitate and headed towards the east coast immediately.

His ship was docked on the north shore, and if he wanted to get to the east shore, he would have to make a big detour.

Ryan's aura exuded a terrifying sense of oppression. No alien species dared to approach him. Flying at full speed, after a while, Ryan arrived at the location marked on the letter for help.

Ryan glanced around, frowning slightly.

There were no signs of any fighting nearby.

This is unreasonable.

Dayin’s strength now is, although I can’t say how strong he is, he should have reached the level of a dream star.

Even if the enemy is far stronger than it and it cannot even resist, the enemy's attack will inevitably leave clues.

So peaceful.

It didn't look like a battle had taken place at all.

Suddenly, Ryan's eyes moved and he looked towards a certain snowy area.

There was a "crack" sound, and a large piece of ice was lifted up, and then a smooth and shiny shark head emerged from it.

Eyes facing each other.

Dayin was stunned for a moment, and then he was so excited that his whole body was filled with red mist. He flew to Ryan's side and kept flying around him.

"Alright, alright, stop it."

Ryan patted Dayin's head. The familiar feel made him unable to help but pat him twice more.

It is always a joy to meet old friends again.

But seeing that Dayin was unharmed, Ryan became a little confused.

Dayin wasn't seriously injured, so how come there was a letter asking for help?
Sensing the doubt in Ryan's eyes, Big Silver arched its body, pointed its fin at the place where it appeared, and then flew towards there.

Seeing this, Ryan temporarily suppressed his doubts and followed.

Coming to the edge of the ice cave, Ryan looked down.

I saw that the originally thick permafrost layer of Xiafan was hollowed out and turned into a large ice cellar.

Don’t think that the word “ice cellar” sounds unpleasant, but in fact, in a place like the permafrost continent, the ice cellar is already an excellent shelter.

At the edge of the ice cellar, there is a small platform made of ice.

Lying on it was an unconscious human.

Wait, humans?
Ryan's eyes widened, and a strong sense of shock surged in his heart.

He has been in the Monster Hunter world for so long, but he has never seen anyone except monsters and dragon people.

I didn't expect that I would meet the first person in a restricted area for living creatures like the Permafrost Continent.

With just a quick glance, Ryan knew about this person's situation.

This is a woman who looks to be around 25 or 26 years old.

Her skin is rather rough and her physique is quite strong.

It is not easy to possess this level of strength while maintaining a good figure.

She had a penetrating wound in her abdomen, which was treated simply but continued to bleed.

This is a hunter.

With just one glance, Ryan made his judgment.

Not only because she was holding a sword tightly in her hand even when she was unconscious, but also because of the familiar feeling around her.

"So, you came across this hunter in distress and didn't know what to do with him, so you contacted me urgently?"

Ryan touched his chin and looked at Dayin.

Upon hearing this, the latter hurriedly nodded his shark head.

As an evolved form of Hong Yao, although Dayin has strong combat power and growth rate, he has not evolved healing abilities.

It's okay to let it fight and explore the way, but it's really unfair to let it treat the wounds of the sick.

"Thanks a lot."

After touching the shark's head, Ryan walked to the ice platform and took out the potion from his arms.

This was what he had just snatched from the palace of the Sta Empire.

It's useless to him, but it should be of great use to this female hunter.

As the potion was taken, the wound on the hunter's abdomen stopped bleeding soon. Then, her eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
