After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 289 The most valuable and precious trophy in history!

The sword light tore the light curtain apart, and countless blue light spots fell from the sky, turning the entire underground space into a blue ocean.

As the opening ceremony of the decisive battle in the Demon Gathering Land, such a grand scene is magnificent enough.

Ryan held the greatsword in one hand, standing quietly in mid-air, with pale blue flames burning on his body, contrasting with the red of the "remnant fire".

Not far away, on the surface of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon's body, there were blue mountain light particles flying like ribbons. Its blue was different from Ryan's blue, more ethereal and illusory.

When we meet again, the silence after the initial collision is a respect for the opponent.

The next moment.

Ryan moved.

"Crack!"

In the air, a silver crack started from where he had just stood and spread all the way to the side of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

The great sword slashed out, and a crescent-shaped sword energy expanded out. At the end of the sword energy, there was a crack in the dark space that had shattered.

In response to Ryan's slash, the [Dream] Red Light Dragon spun around and slashed with its wings.

The thick skeleton and hard scales give the [Dream] Red Dragon a defensive power beyond imagination.

Even a slash that breaks through space would hardly leave a mark on it.

This was demonstrated during the last battle when Ryan's slashing attack was unable to break through the scales.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound, followed by the splashing of fluorescent blue blood.

The sword energy could not break the scales of the wings, but the physical sword in Ryan's hand that followed closely could.

The quality of the pinnacle of true artifacts, combined with the toughness and sharpness bestowed by the mystery of the sword soul, makes the quality of this greatsword almost reach the highest level below the main artifact.

Coupled with the blessing of [Craftsmanship] and other special skills, the sharpness of the greatsword has reached a level comparable to that of the main artifact.

And this is enough to cause substantial damage to the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

The wound brought severe pain, but this pain not only did not make the [Dream] Red Light Dragon retreat, but instead aroused its stronger fighting spirit.

The huge dragon wings stuck to the big sword, and it spun with force, throwing Ryan and the sword out.

Even though the greatsword could break through the defense, the dragon's wings were long and narrow, and it would take a certain amount of time to cut them off, and the [Dream] Red Dragon obviously could not give Ryan this time.

After the greatsword left the body, the wound on the [Dream] Red Dragon's wing healed rapidly, and in a flash, only a pale white mark remained.

Seeing this scene, Ryan's pupils shrank slightly.

The stronger the body, the greater the cost of recovery.

And for a sacred object as large and tough as the [Dream] Crimson Dragon, the energy required to recover quickly is simply enormous.

Generally, they will not evolve such skills that are not suitable for survival.

unless……

Ryan thought of the four words "Hong Yao Overcomes".

This was the first time he encountered the special species of "Hong Yao Overcome".

"Super healing ability?"

"In other words, there is little point in fighting a war of attrition, unless we can completely drain the energy of the [Dream] Scarlet Dragon. However, the Scarlet Dragon has absorbed the energy of the earth veins for who knows how many years, so this is not realistic."

"In that case..."

Ryan took a deep breath.

If the situation allowed, he would certainly be willing to have a hearty fight with the [Dream] Red Light Dragon, but the problem was that this guy had no sense of chivalry.

You said you have this ability to recover, how can I play with you?
Since the other party no longer talks about morality, Ryan decides to use some "unconventional" means.

As for the fact that his own recovery and defense abilities were also extremely exaggerated, he selectively ignored it.

He is a hunter, so what's wrong with wearing thicker armor?
Looking at the [Dream] Red Dragon flying towards him, Ryan took a deep breath and made a gesture to draw his sword and cut.

next time.

A light curtain made up of dense sword threads blocked Ryan and the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

The [Dream] Red Light Dragon had no intention of stopping in the face of this barrier.

It knew very well that the sword energy could hardly cause any harm to its body, and only the sword itself could break its defense.

So there is no need to worry about the sword energy, just keep your eyes on the physical sword in Ryan's hand.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

Countless sparks exploded on the scales of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon as it entered the sword-like light curtain, but could not stop its forward momentum at all.

Ryan stood there, his face calm.

He unfolded the light curtain, not expecting that the fragmented sword energy could hurt the [Dream] Red Light Dragon, but just wanted to add a mark.

Ryan suddenly closed his five fingers, stared at the attacking [Dream] Red Dragon, and opened his lips slightly: "Good news, explosion!"

The moment the sound fell.

Dark purple lines covered the entire body of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

Its huge body turned dark purple in a very short time. From a distance, it looked like a blooming enchanting flower.

"Boom--!"

The roar that erupted from inside out dimmed the eyes of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon.

True damage, even a powerful creature like the [Dream] Red Dragon cannot be immune.

A 20% actual reduction in vitality is the largest one-time damage that the [Dream] Red Light Dragon has ever endured in the past thousands of years.

This attack made the [Dream] Red Light Dragon a little confused, and then it immediately reacted. The medium for this attack was the tiny sword qi that it had just ignored.

But the problem is that now, most of its body is still in the light curtain!
Realizing this, it flapped its wings vigorously and rushed out of the light curtain at the fastest speed.

But even so.

There was still a lot of aftereffects of the sword energy falling on it.

The [Dream] Red Dragon that just rushed out had no time to attack Ryan before dark purple lines appeared around its body again.

"Boom--!"

Another [Good News] exploded, and the 40% drop in vitality caused the [Dream] Red Light Dragon to roar wildly.

As the sound came, the blue light on its body became brighter.

The lost vitality was transformed back through the huge amount of earth vein energy.

Ryan was a little surprised to feel the [Dream] Red Dragon's aura returning to its peak, but he didn't care too much.

As the breath of the [Dream] Red Dragon approached, silver light exploded from Ryan's body, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the [Dream] Red Dragon.

Another "Sword Light Curtain" was launched. This time, the alert [Dream] Red Light Dragon dodged immediately, but was still a step too slow and was affected by part of the sword light.

The dark purple reappeared, and the [Dream] Red Dragon, whose vitality had dropped, had to consume a huge amount of earth vein energy again.

The continuous defeats caused it to roar in fury.

However, Ryan had made up his mind.

No more hand-to-hand combat until the earth energy is exhausted.

The following battle seemed lackluster.

Even if the [Dream] Red Light Dragon tried every means, whether it was dodging or energy bombardment, it was still unable to escape the stranglehold of the sword energy.

These sword energies are too fine and difficult to guard against.

Two hours later, the blue light on the surface of the [Dream] Crimson Dragon dimmed. Four hours later, the crystal pillars in the surrounding terrain began to show cracks, which was a sign that the energy of the underground veins was insufficient and began to drain the energy from the surface.

Six hours later, there were no more crystal pillars around, only a stretch of endless fine crystal sand.

The [Dream] Red Light Dragon stood on the ground, breathing rapidly, with a decent blue light flickering, and was about to exit the "super-limit state".

This means that the earth energy available to it is on the verge of exhaustion.

It stared at Ryan in front of it. The distance between them was obviously not far, but it tried its best but could not touch Ryan at all.

This gradually extinguished its fiery fighting spirit.

At this point, the battle is no longer what it was originally expected to be.

If it continues like this, only death will await it...

just.

What surprised the [Dream] Red Light Dragon was that, although it could have killed it with repeated moves, the human in front of it stopped moving, landed on the ground, and looked at it parallel to the ground.

The greatsword was raised, with the tip of the sword facing its eyes.

Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, at this moment, [Dream] Red Dragon understood the meaning of Ryan's actions.

Here, let's have a fair fight.

"Roar--!"

The dim blue light in the body burst out again, like the last remaining light before the firewood is extinguished, scorching and hot.

With its wings fluttering, the [Dream] Red Dragon's body rose to the top of the underground space, like a rising blue sun.

The earth energy compressed to the extreme caused the surrounding space to explode and then recover.

Ryan took a deep breath and made a gesture to draw his sword.

Only this time, what he used was no longer a variation of the Dimension Slash, but the strongest sword skill he mastered.

Blood, spirituality, strength... everything is compressed into the body.

High in the sky, the [Dream] Red Dragon, which had accumulated strength to its peak, descended rapidly towards Ryan like a falling meteorite.

Ryan raised his head, his body like silver light, and rushed towards the blue meteorite.

One silver, one blue, they collided with a loud bang like Mars hitting the Earth.

"boom!"

The first round of impact from the explosion of the blue meteorite acted on Ryan, causing him to enter a state of compression.

Soon, a second round of chain explosions occurred, causing Ryan to enter a triple compression state.

It is also the strongest compression state.

A blazing spiritual light rose from the surface of the sword in Ryan's hand.

At this time, the blue light on the surface of the [Dream] Red Dragon had completely dimmed.

It opened its mouth with difficulty.

A teardrop-shaped ball flew out, and an aura of destruction more terrifying than the previous two explosions spread out.

Ryan's pupils shrank sharply.

He swung the sword in his hand without hesitation.

The fifth sword technique of Star Swordsmanship.

Divine power: draw the sword and slash!
"Chong-"

"boom--"

The roar and explosion sounded almost simultaneously.

Silver light and blue light completely filled the underground space.

In the struggle between the two, in the end, Silver Light came out on top.

As the extremely powerful sword energy swept past, the light in the [Dream] Red Dragon's eyes dimmed completely, just like the blue light on its body.

The huge body like a mountain fell to the ground with a loud bang. In the last moment before death, the [Dream] Red Dragon locked its eyes on Ryan.

There is no anger, no despair, only a slight sense of relief.

Ryan exhaled lightly and his body slowly fell down.

This battle was far more difficult than he had imagined.

[Gospel] alone was used 50 times, which is at least ten times the life if converted into the life bar.

This is the bonus that the earth energy gives to the [Dream] Red Dragon.

If it is a normal fight, who among the same level can be the opponent of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon?

Totally impossible.

In the end, the extensive use of [Gospel] had exhausted Ryan to the extreme.

If the energy in the earth veins was enough to restore the Red Dragon ten times, Ryan would be the first to collapse.

Fortunately, he was the final winner.

When he walked to the corpse of the [Dream] Red Dragon, the first thing that caught Ryan's eye was a trophy with colorful and chaotic colors.

-

[Loot: Red Dragon's Gem]: Semi-chaos-level trophy, a fantasy gem generated in the Red Dragon's body, contains inestimable power. Because of its identity as an ancient dragon, its color has a hint of deep and restrained color. Attached special skills: [Fatal Strike lv.2], Ancient Dragon Specialization [Red Dragon's Seal lv.1 (max)]

——【Fatal Strike lv.2】: When causing damage to the enemy's vital parts, total damage +30%.

——[Red Dragon's Seal lv.1 (max)]: When the sword is drawn, attributes, abnormal status values, and critical hit rate increase by 30%. Although you will still take damage when attacking, as long as you continue to attack, you can play the effect of automatic recovery.

(ps: The lonely king trapped in the magic cage experienced a hearty battle at the end of his life!)
-

Ryan's eyes widened as he looked at the brand new trophies in front of him.

[Dream] The Red Dragon has strength beyond the dream-level special species, but it has not reached the next stage, because the spoils obtained after defeating it are semi-chaos level.

Chaos level is the title of a stronger stage above the dream level!
The semi-chaos-level loot brought Ryan a huge surprise.

The skills that normally come with it only have two levels, but these skills are very special.

【Fatal Blow】!
It can be said to be the rarest level one special skill Ryan has ever encountered.

Since he started exploring the Monster Hunter world, he has only seen this skill on the Holy Glass Orb.

I didn't expect that after so long, I could actually get it in the spoils, and it was two levels at once.

——【Fatal Strike lv.3 (max)】: When causing damage to the enemy's vital parts, total damage +100%.

The level 1 [Critical Strike] increases damage by 30%, while the level 3 [Critical Strike] increases damage by 100%.

This means that Ryan's damage has been significantly increased!

The ancient dragon's specialized [Seal of the Red Dragon lv.1 (max)] further enhanced Ryan's combat effectiveness.

Simply drawing the sword will increase critical hits and damage, and after hitting the enemy, physical strength and vitality will automatically recover for a period of time.

It’s really a magical skill for endurance!

The most valuable trophy, well deserved!

After calming down his inner excitement, Ryan put away the [Loot: Red Dragon's Gem] and looked at the corpse of the [Dream] Red Dragon.

With the [Initial Furnace], as long as Ryan has a strong soul, he can refine equipment from the God of Wind at any time.

If there is a strong enough soul combination, the materials of the [Dream] Red Light Dragon should be enough to refine the main artifact, right?
