The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 359: Second Level Witchcraft (Two chapters in one)

"You actually killed Dune!" The beautiful face of Ursula, the high priestess of the Slideblade Naga, turned pale in an instant and said in horror.

The whole person flew backwards with all his might.

Ryan shook off the blood on his two-handed sword, smiled at Ursula, and then took big strides and chased after her at a faster speed.

"You your legs?"

Ursula's eyes widened!
She clearly stabbed twice!

She looked at Ryan's left knee, which should have been seriously injured, but was shocked to find that there was no wound on Ryan's leg at all. However, she could vaguely see the newly grown pink flesh.

Soon, Ursula retreated into the group of people she had been traveling with from Poseidon, but the sense of crisis in her heart became more and more intense.

Dune's death, and the fact that Ryan escaped from his trump card - 'Mind Blast' in almost a second, made Havers look at Ryan in shock.

He could not figure out why Ryan's mental will was so firm, as if he was not much different from those ascetic monks.

"Whoo~~~"

But at this point, he had no time to think about it.

Because a huge piece of metal with a diameter of four or five meters was flying towards them.

It was Ryan who turned the anchor sword in his hand into something similar to a 'fly swatter', with a hollow hole in the middle to reduce wind resistance.

Except for Havers and Ursula who managed to dodge it by luck, seven or eight Poseidon monks and Slippery Blade Naga elites who were unable to dodge in time were directly beaten into a bloody mess!

"Snapped!"

This scene immediately shocked everyone!
Be it the Poseidon monks or the Slippery Blade Nagas, they all ran away in panic, their heads in their hands.

At this time, Ryan was staring at Ursula, who had just stabbed him, and chasing after her relentlessly.

"what!!"

As Ursula screamed, her figure suddenly split into three identical figures, fleeing rapidly in the front, left and right directions.

But Ryan remained unmoved and continued to swing the giant 'fly swatter' hard.

When Ursula hurriedly turned back to check, she saw that her own figure had escaped from the coverage of the metal racket in Ryan's hand. She couldn't help but be extremely surprised, thinking that she had finally escaped.

But the Slippery Blade Naga subordinates around her looked at her with fear in their eyes.

There were also several subordinates who were about to open their mouths as if to remind her of something.

But it's too late!

Ursula suddenly felt a darkness above her head, and something hit her hard.

"Riptide Shield!"

Ursula once again cast her second-level innate magic spell, 'Riptide Shield', and saw several high-speed water shields surging in multiple directions around her body like whirlpools.

"Snapped!"

"what!!"

Ursula suddenly let out a scream!
The torrent shield on her body was broken in an instant by the extremely heavy giant "fly swatter".

Although she was not beaten into a pulp, her entire body was smashed into the ground for dozens of centimeters, with broken tendons and bones, especially the three arms and the snake tail on half of her body, which were obviously abnormally flat.

What makes Ursula different from other small fry is that her body is still quite tough. She survived and even pushed a human-shaped bulge out of the thick iron sheet. However, with Ryan's metal transformation technique, it was repaired in an instant.

Only then did she see clearly that the square metal racket in Ryan's hand had turned into a clover shape at some point, covering her clone and her real body again and destroying them all with one blow.

No wonder others looked at her so strangely just now!
Diam, who was originally at the end of the Poseidon Cult team, fled to the west without looking back, and had no intention of fighting against Ryan at all.

At this moment, his expression was pale, and he muttered to himself:
"I knew it. I knew it!"

"This Ryan is the devil from the endless abyss! Nothing good will happen if you meet him!"

"I have to run away quickly!"

At this time, Havers was also attacking with all his strength.

It would be fine if Duane died, but Ursula must not die!
So, in just two or three seconds, he cast multiple spells to delay Ryan's attack or interfere with Ryan's attack, but whether it was the 'Slow Spell', the second-level spell 'Shadow Flame' or the third-level spell 'Shadow Cage'.

Either the damage caused to Ryan was minor, or Ryan easily broke free. For a while, Havers had no way to deal with Ryan's extremely resistant dragon general form.

"Summon the torrent element!" Facing Ryan who had already rushed to her, Ursula's desire to survive once again worked miracles.

I saw that she used some extremely costly method to compress a normal summoning spell that took more than five seconds to cast into one second.

Two humanoid elements, more than three meters tall and made of surging water, appeared beside Ursula, as if trying to stop Ryan's attack.

"interesting."

Ryan smiled and quickly raised the 'Shamrock Fly Swatter'.

Including Ursula herself, she and the two torrent elementals were all struggling to hold on, and judging from Ursula's expression at the moment, she seemed very confident that she could withstand Ryan's blow.

Because she had just blocked Ryan's attack once, in her opinion, although Ryan's transformation of the weapon into a racket had a wider coverage area, its power was weakened.

She was confident that with the help of the two torrent elements, she could withstand Ryan's blow.

But the next second!
Ursula, my eyes are bloodshot!

"what!!!"

Because, she saw the metal racket above her head, which was transformed into a sledgehammer in an instant, and was blessed with some top-level secret by Ryan, and it hit her heavily!
"boom!"

The water is surging and splashing everywhere!

The two torrent elementals didn't last more than half a second before they were knocked back to their original form by Ryan's one-ton high-speed hammer, and the beautiful Slip-Blade Naga High Priestess Ursula was also turned into meat paste!
When Ryan picked up the hammer, he found that in the depression on the ground four or five meters deep, Ursula's body tissue had been mixed with the soil, resembling a Dunhuang mural.

At this time, three transparent soul phantoms emerged from the dead bodies of Ursula and the two torrent elementals, dragging long tails of flames. After circling Ryan several times, they sank into the hammer head.

"Huh? The summoned elemental creatures also have soul energy? That's not bad."

Ryan looked at this scene and felt slightly happy.

The people of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group standing by saw that Ryan was so powerful that he killed the deep-sea giant leader Dune and the Slippery Blade Naga High Priest Ursula, leaving only the lonely Havers in the extremely powerful Poseidon team.

His face flushed and he looked at Ryan with excitement, as if he was looking at a god.

"Is this still a human? Brother, do you think it is possible that Lord Ryan is actually the incarnation of a certain god?" The girl Georgia was completely numb at this moment.

She was only eighteen years old, how could she have ever seen a pervert like Ryan?

What happened in just a few minutes directly shattered the immature worldview she had just established.

"I don't know, but even if it is, it should be the incarnation of a dragon god." His sister Georgia's words made Fandral think for a long time, and finally, he uttered these words.

Because even though he was well-informed, he was completely shocked by Ryan's fighting ability at this moment!

Although he instinctively felt that Ryan should have nothing to do with the gods, he changed his mind and felt that what his sister said made some sense.

After all, if it were a human, so young, with such combat power, would it be possible?
When Ryan focused his attention on Havers and said "Second one!", Havers couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet.

It’s not that he doesn’t have enough combat experience, but he has never met a guy as perverted as Ryan.

It is huge in size, comparable to a deep-sea giant, but much faster, and can use all kinds of close combat skills at will, with such a huge body and a weapon weighing one ton.

The power of each ultimate strike is comparable to that of third-level witchcraft!

In addition, the body's defense is extremely strong, and the first-level witchcraft cannot break the defense at all, and the second-level witchcraft is also greatly weakened.

Even his signature third-level witchcraft, "Mind Blast", did not cause much trouble to the opponent.

It's not that Havers didn't think about retreating, but as the person in charge of the Cult of Poseidon in Howling Fjord, not only his deputy, the Slippery Blade Naga High Priest Ursula, and the Thick-Shelled Lobster Chieftain Akauran, were killed one after another.

At this moment, countless of his men had been killed or wounded. Faced with such a tragic situation, if they retreated like this, they would not be able to lead the team behind them.

Besides, it’s not that he really couldn’t do anything to Ryan in front of him, but the price to pay was extremely high, and for a moment he didn’t know whether to use it or not.

But Ryan's word "second one" really touched Havers' pain point.

Havers laughed in anger and said, "Your name is Ryan, right? Do you think you won?"

"No one can save you now!"

Havers quickly pulled out a white fish bone from his arms. It was about 20 to 30 centimeters long and had a sharp end and a blunt end. Then, he thrust the sharp end of the fish bone into his own chest, and chanted loudly:

"(Akkadian) Come on! All the sea creatures nearby, please listen to the command of the God of the Underworld and kill him!"

The white fish bone that absorbed the essence of Havers' blood was now emitting a bright red light. Suddenly, a huge and obscure aura spread out.

As Havers pointed at Ryan!
The Poseidon monks within a hundred meters, as well as the Slippery Blade Nagas and Thick-Shelled Lobsters who had originally fled in fear, all had red eyes at this moment, as if they had lost their minds, and turned around to attack Ryan again.

This time, he was not afraid of death!

Even though they knew they could not win, they still continued to charge towards Ryan!
What is even more exaggerated is that on the beach not far from here, there are turtles as big as millstones and sea snakes several meters long, as well as fiddler crabs and mudskippers as small as the palm of your hand.

It seemed to be affected by this evil magic and rushed towards Ryan quickly.

Hundreds and thousands of enemies were seen rushing towards Ryan across the mountains and plains!

"I don't believe that you can use this kind of transformation without scruples. When you run out of strength, that's when you die!" Havers, with red eyes, laughed a little crazily.

Ryan, in the form of a dragon general, looked at the scene in front of him without any reaction.

It seemed as if all the people attacking him were chickens and dogs.

At this moment, everyone in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group who were watching the battle were sweating for Ryan. When the girl Georgia couldn't help but want to remind Ryan, suddenly, Ryan's low voice sounded:

"Havus, maybe you don't know yet."

"That's what I'm least afraid of!"

"It's a group attack!!!"

"hold head high!!!"

As Ryan roared towards the sky, an extremely loud dragon roar resounded throughout the wilderness. A huge white air wave visible to the naked eye blasted out from Ryan's wide-open mouth and swept around in an instant.

But this is not over yet!
Ryan, who was in the form of a dragon general and was eight meters tall, was seen holding a two-handed sword and spinning 360 degrees like lightning. In an instant, hundreds of densely packed four-cornered darts flew out from the sword.

It was the top sword technique 'Blade Storm' that Ryan had not used for a long time!
The door-like giant sword, combined with the eight-meter-tall body, unleashed a sword storm with power on another level.

In an instant, the siege team consisting of hundreds of fearless Slippery Blade Nagas, Thick-shelled Lobster People and Poseidon Monks fell to the ground like wheat being cut.

The enemies closest to Ryan died the most tragically.

Because they were attacked by the four-cornered darts and sound waves at the same time, not only did their crowns explode, but their faces and bodies were also pierced by densely packed four-cornered darts!
The enemies that had been attacking from all over the mountains were now wiped out by Ryan's combo!

There were only two or three cats left.

"Oh my god! This is too amazing!"

Just as everyone in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group was showing surprise on their faces and cheering for Ryan's great power.

Havers was shocked, but he smiled sinisterly and said:
"Haha, Ryan, you've fallen into the trap, look at your feet!"

The corpses of the Nagas and lobster people around Ryan were oozing blood. At the same time, the blood seemed to be inspired by something and emitted a special scent.

"Great God of the Underworld, your believers beg you." And Havers also quickly recited some kind of prayer.

An atmosphere that made Ryan feel strongly oppressive began to spread, and at the same time, a sticky feeling of restraint became more and more obvious.

This made Ryan's pupils shrink, and he instantly thought of something.

A few months ago, when he was fighting the bloated and fat chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Meister, the other party prayed and a trace of the will of some great existence descended.

But compared to that time, Ryan's strength has improved a lot. At this moment, although he felt a strong sense of oppression, he could still bear it.

However, although Ryan was very confident in himself, he was not arrogant enough to let the other party finish the prayer.

If the other party attracts the attention of some powerful being, how do you know how much power the other party will use?

Ryan's mind moved slightly, and the second-level goddess medal in the secret pocket on the side of his pleated shorts was activated. A strong blue light immediately covered Ryan's whole body. It was the divine art "Goddess' Protection" solidified in the second-level goddess medal.

And Ryan felt relieved!
"Whoosh!"

In less than half a second, Ryan appeared in front of Havers, who had not yet finished his prayer, and smashed down with the one-ton hammer in his hand!

"How could the power of confinement fail?!"

"You!" Havers was shocked and angry. Looking at Ryan who was attacking him, he felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over him from head to toe.

"boom!!!"

Before he could stop praying and fight back, he followed the footsteps of his deputy Ursula, embedded in the mud of the hammer pit and merged into the earth.

And the breath just now also came to an abrupt end!

As for Ryan, he naturally broke away from the form of Dragon General and quickly returned to his normal form.

Looking at Havers who had become a paste of meat, Ryan felt a little regretful.

It hit too hard.

If the other party has any loot, it will be destroyed. What a pity.
"Lord Ryan, are you okay? This is your wizard robe." The girl Georgia said very respectfully as she handed over the white wizard robe that Ryan had given her for safekeeping.

"Thank you, it's okay." Ryan nodded slightly.

"Captain Fandral, I'd like you to arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield."

"Don't worry, Lord Ryan, we will collect your spoils for you."

"Well, those sea creatures' corpses, didn't you accept the bounty mission from the empire? Remember to pick up the vouchers."

"Lord Ryan, are you saying that the credit for killing these Slippery Blade Nagas and Poseidon monks should be attributed to us?" Fandral was stunned at first, but then he reacted and immediately said excitedly.

"Yeah." Ryan smiled and nodded.

To him, these things naturally mean little, but to the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries, the reason they risk their lives fighting is just for this.

Upon hearing what Ryan said, including Fandral, Georgia and others, all looked surprised and excited.

Oh my god! What a fortune this is!

Even though it didn't include Dune, Ursula and Havers, it still allowed his mercenary group to make a lot of money, enough to last for more than three years!

"Lord Leilan, I would like to join your army on behalf of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group. I wonder if you..." At this time, Fandral's face became serious and he said seriously.

"Are you grateful for these things? There's no need." Ryan waved his hand and said decisively.

"No! The situation in the empire is becoming increasingly unstable. Your Excellency may not be aware that your strength and personality have deeply impressed us. Therefore, we hope to be effective for you and at the same time, to receive your blessing."

"As long as you don't mind our weak strength, this is the wish of all of us in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group." Fandral shook his head slightly, put his right hand on his chest and saluted.

After listening to this, Ryan looked around at everyone in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, and saw that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes and full of respect.

This made him nod slightly in his heart.

Although the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group's strength is far from his level, they are already top players among mercenary groups.

This time, the transportation of gold mine and supplies to the Norton barbarians requires reliable manpower cooperation, so we can recruit them.

Even bringing the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries directly to the province of Munster and letting the beautiful woman Jennifer manage them is an option.

"Okay! I promise you." Ryan nodded and said.

"Great! Lord Ryan!" Everyone cheered.

While Fandral and the others were collecting the spoils, Ryan looked through the previous battle instructions:
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 27 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been improved! ]

[Congratulations, your Thousand Blade King (Epic) class level has been upgraded! ]

With this battle with Colasius, the King of Thousand Blades (Epic) profession level successfully reached lv11, allowing Ryan to gain 1 attribute point and 1 skill point again.

Subtracting the 4 attribute points he used in battle, the total remaining attribute points is now 2 points and the remaining skill points is 4 points.

After consuming 24 gold skill points last time, I gained another 27 points this time, so it reached a new high of 61 points again.

After only half an hour, the entire battlefield was cleaned up by the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries.

Especially the spoils given to Ryan were cleaned and collected spotlessly.

Since the purpose of Ryan's trip was to the old residence of the 'Cutter', after packing up the spoils, he headed towards the destination not far away, and the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries accompanied him all the way.

However, what surprised Ryan was that he followed the map and actually arrived at the Poseidon Cult's lair in Howling Fjord.

The Poseidon monks and Slippery Blade Nagas who had stayed behind had not yet reacted to what was happening when they saw Ryan, but after seeing the corpse of their leader, they all fled.

And Ryan naturally would not chase after these small shrimps.

"Huh, I didn't expect that the place I was looking for was actually here."

"But shouldn't this be the former residence of Otakar, the second-level liquefied wizard nicknamed 'Cutter'?" Ryan quickly frowned and said.

Because if the old house was discovered and renovated by the Poseidon Cult in advance, then the metal witchcraft model 'Cutting Net' that he came to find this time might have been dealt with by the Poseidon Cult.

This means that his trip to Howling Fjord was in vain.

Soon, Ryan found a captured Poseidon monk and started questioning him.

"Sir, this was indeed the former residence of a wizard a month ago. Moreover, when we were exploring here, we encountered the troublesome giant soul-eating moths. It was only after Lord Havers and Lady Ursula joined forces that we were able to wipe out these giant soul-eating moths."

"As for the wizard's relics you mentioned, it seems that they were collected by Lord Havers and placed in a small wooden box. It should be there, in the storage room." The prisoner said, pointing to the left side of the hall.

Ok?
Unexpectedly, the soul-eating giant moth has been destroyed.

Moreover, this was indeed the destination he was looking for, what a coincidence.

Immediately, he asked Fandral to open the door of the storage room on the left side of the cave hall.

There were all kinds of combat supplies piled up inside, such as knight swords, tridents, and scattered armor, etc. Ryan quickly found a wooden box in a corner.

When he opened it, Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked delighted.

In addition to an old parchment scroll, there are actually ten soul energy crystals.

When I opened the parchment scroll, I saw the words "Cutting Net" written in large letters on the top.

"Huh? It's actually the second-level metal witchcraft?" Ryan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise and joy.

When Melita talked to him about it before, she didn't seem to say what level of witchcraft this 'Cutting Web' was, and Ryan always thought it was a level one witchcraft.

I didn’t expect it to be the even rarer second-level metal-based witchcraft!
