Chapter 370 The Effect of Divine Power Crystal

When Ryan released his dragon claws, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Pfft!"

The upper half of the limbs of the mutant Wind Peng leader, 'Heartbreaker' Merrick, fell heavily to the ground. Even with its vitality, after being cut in half, its originally bright eyes became extremely dim at this moment, as if it was at the end of its life.

I saw it opening its iron beak as if it wanted to say something, but it tilted its head and stopped moving, and in the end, it never uttered the words it wanted to say.

At this moment, Ryan looked up and saw the group of wind rocs hovering above his head. Seeing that their leader had been slaughtered, they dared not stay and immediately scattered like birds and beasts!
After all, this time it was they who came to attack Ryan, not Ryan who was attacking the Fengpeng's nest, so the fighting will of the Fengpengs was not strong, and soon, the Fengpengs above Ryan's head scattered.

At this point, Ryan also quickly released the dragon general form and returned to human form.

Suddenly, Ryan noticed that a black, crystal-clear crystal slipped out from the edge of Merrick's half-open iron beak.

At first, Ryan thought it was some kind of crystal core in the other person's body, but after a little attention, he discovered that the black crystal seemed to contain some extremely condensed and high-level energy.

Moreover, the black crystal faintly exuded a powerful aura, and what moved Ryan even more was that this aura made him feel a little familiar.

"Huh? This is..." Ryan's eyes lit up, as if he remembered what he was hungry for, and immediately bent down to pick it up.

When he held the black crystal, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

[Ding! A divine power crystal that can improve the liquefaction of spiritual power has been detected. Do you want to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can eliminate impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]

"Ok?"

"The crystallization of divine power?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.

Although he had never seen such a thing, from the word "divine power" and the familiar aura he sensed, Ryan had already made a certain judgment in his mind.

"This should be something from Hela, the goddess of the underworld."

"Merrick must have relied on this thing to determine my location." Ryan thought to himself.

After all, apart from this more reasonable explanation, Ryan really couldn't think of why a Fengpeng, even if it was a mutant, would have this thing.

If it was the work of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, then it can naturally be explained.

In addition, regarding the system prompt asking whether to absorb or not, Ryan thought about it and chose "Yes!"

Because the system absorption can directly eliminate impurities and things that are harmful to him, Ryan is not worried at all about any negative effects on him.

In addition, if this thing is equivalent to a locator, it would be best to absorb it as soon as possible, which would also eliminate a hidden danger.

In an instant, the black crystal disappeared in Ryan's hand, and a wisp of black smoke rose from his palm and drifted away with the wind.

At the same time, Ryan seemed to hear a fleeting female scream. He didn't know if it was an impurity in it or some kind of mark of Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

Ryan felt an unusually hot warm current suddenly seeping in from the palm of his hand and rushing straight to his mind.

In a very short time, Ryan felt the silver liquid in his mind increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, from being unable to even wrap around the crystals, it now looked like a pool of water, with the double-layer crystals floating up and down in the water.

His mental power was naturally more refined. Compared with before, Ryan could mobilize more energy particles by consuming the same amount of mental power.

Ryan glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 90 (liquefied 27%)

"Hiss~ It increased to 27% in one go?" Ryan couldn't help but gasp, his eyes widened!

Ryan looked at the liquefaction progress again and saw 27%. For a moment he felt it was a little unreal.

This level of improvement is too exaggerated!
If the process of a first-level wizard's mental power atomization takes ten years for most wizards, then the mental power liquefaction is a long improvement process that requires hundreds of years.

Even for a gifted wizard, it would take ten or twenty years to reach the second-level liquefied wizard stage. But it has only been a few days since he was promoted to the second-level wizard?
In a blink of an eye, the liquefaction process is almost one-third of the way through?!

This is when Ryan hasn't even gotten the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Technique.

According to the calculation that the power of witchcraft increases by one point for every increase in the degree of liquefaction, the power of the witchcraft he currently casts is almost 30% higher than when he just switched to a second-level liquefaction wizard.

This thing called 'Divine Power Crystal' is so effective!

Ryan suddenly realized that he no longer hated Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

Even like it a little bit.

As long as the other party can provide him with some 'Divine Power Crystal' next time.

However, this thing is obviously very rare. Judging from the name prompted by the system, 'Crystal of Divine Power', we can roughly guess that unless you are a god, it is probably impossible to make such a thing.

Otherwise, he would not have never heard of it when he was in the Sword Bearer Division.

After returning, he will go to the library to look for relevant information.

If there is a channel to find or exchange this thing, then his breakthrough to becoming a crystallized wizard is just around the corner.

The scene that Ryan absorbed just lasted only a moment. The people on the side were still staring with wide eyes at the corpse of Feng Peng and the famous "Heartbreaker" Merrick.

But he didn't notice the changes on Ryan's side.

At this time, Anna quickly stepped forward and handed Ryan a brand new white wizard robe.

At this moment, the crowd around came to their senses and immediately started discussing:
"Oh my God! Merrick the Heartbreaker just died like that?!" many people exclaimed.

"Hey, do you know who this gentleman is?" a traveler asked around curiously.

"I don't know how someone so young could have the ability to kill the mutant Fengpeng leader Merrick. I guess he must be a strong man from the imperial capital."

"That's right. Among all the strong men in Caswith Province, there is no one who meets the characteristics of this young lord." An old man from the caravan nodded in agreement.

"Even the more distant Moselle Province has not heard of this powerful man." Another caravan leader also shook his head and said.

He came from the farther province of Moselle and had never heard of such a young top powerhouse.

A captain of the caravan guard had been frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and said excitedly:
"Wait, I think I've heard of this lord. The dragonman transformation just now reminded me of a friend who once said that in the Howling Tundra, there was a young lord named Ryan who transformed into a dragonman and killed the ancestor dragon Corasius."

"Coracius? That mutated proto-dragon? That's an ancient monster that is almost epic!" A traveler who was familiar with the situation couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Lord Gray, do you know the identity of this lord?" An old man from the caravan respectfully asked the bearded Gray next to him.

After all, they all saw Gray's enthusiasm just now. Among all the people present, the one who knew the origins of this young and powerful man best was Gray.

"Of course! This is Lord Ryan, the Sword Bearer of the Empire. I can't tell you the details." The bearded Gray raised his head with a proud expression and said.

"So it's the lord of the Imperial Sword Bearer, no wonder!"

"This should be the lord from the Sword Bearer headquarters or branch in the imperial capital of Tamriel. I have never heard of anyone so powerful." An elder who seemed to be familiar with the Sword Bearer spoke up.

For a moment, the Beverly Pass passage became as noisy as a vegetable market!
As for the person involved, Ryan, after putting on a white wizard robe, was escorted by bearded Gray and his men and quickly arrived at the other end of Beverly Pass.

"Sir Gray, you need to be on high alert after I leave. I'm worried that the Fengpeng clan might take it out on you." Ryan thought for a moment and reminded.

"Don't worry! Lord Ryan, I have already reported the situation just now." Bearded Gray patted his strong chest heavily and said affirmatively.

"We are not the only ones in the Empire here. As you know, there is also a great guardian of the Empire nearby, who is stationed in the nearby city of Donia all year round, keeping an eye on Queen Fengpeng." Gray said the last sentence in a very low voice.

"Ok?"

"Are there any Imperial Guardians nearby?" Ryan thought to himself.

He really didn't know about this situation, but looking at Gray's expression, he mistakenly thought that he had known it for a long time.

He was worrying too much.

"Then I'm relieved, Lord Gray, see you next time!"

"Lord Ryan, have a safe trip!"

Ryan and Anna were seen riding on the Bloodfeather Hippogryph again.

As the blood feather soared into the sky, Ryan flew quickly towards the southern sky.

But less than five minutes after flying, Ryan felt a colorful light on his right side, flying towards him rapidly. Judging from its trajectory, it seemed to be coming from the depths of the Beverly Mountains.

Moreover, the opponent's speed made Ryan even more frightened.

You should know that the speed of Merrick the Heartbreaker is not less than when he uses the Shadow Step at full power, but the speed of the colorful light in front of him is more than twice that of Merrick.

"This speed and momentum." Ryan knew there was only one possibility.

The one coming this time should be the queen of the Fengpeng clan, an epic strongman with the title of "Lightning Walker" - Trist!

"It seems that I can only use that trick." Ryan's eyes flickered.

The "Soul Shattering Impact" derived from the core skill of the Warhammer Wizard is his current killer move that can definitely injure even epic-level strongmen.

Because the damage caused by the Soul Shattering Impact is real and cannot be blocked by physical or elemental energy, even an epic-level strong man will most likely be seriously injured after being hit by his Soul Shattering Impact.

By then, he will fully activate the Dragon General form and may be able to fight!
"However, we cannot engage in aerial combat with the Queen of Feng Peng."

Just as Ryan was about to land quickly, a loud dragon roar suddenly sounded not far in front of him.

"hold head high!"

A silver giant soared into the sky and flew rapidly towards him. Ryan looked closely and saw that it was a silver dragon, whose body was very similar to the red dragon Tassa under the crotch of the Red Queen Menia, whom he had met once, but it was more slender, more streamlined, and faster.

It seemed that she was only slightly inferior to the Lightning Walker Trist, the queen of the Fengpeng clan, who attacked from the side.

After just a few seconds, two balls of light, one silver and one colorful, just barely touched each other not far to Ryan's right.

"Trist, you've crossed the line." A slightly old voice sounded from the back of the silver dragon.

The person who spoke was an old man wearing a gray wizard robe and holding a twisted gray wooden staff. The deep wrinkles on his forehead indicated that he seemed to be very old.

"Walkermas, are you going to stop me?"

"This human in front of us killed my commander Merrick. He must pay the price!" A bright figure arrived in front of the silver dragon first.

Then, a clear female voice came from far away.

This strange situation is because the opponent's movement speed has far exceeded the speed of sound, so you see the person first and then hear his voice.

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the beautiful figure with surprise.

Because it is completely unrecognizable as a Fengpeng. If you insist on saying that there is any part of it that resembles a bird, it is only the bright feathers and the bright feather headdress on its head.

This is completely different from the appearance of Queen Fengpeng that Ryan had previously guessed.

He originally thought that the Wind Peng Queen Trist was a larger Wind Peng than Merrick the Heartbreaker.

As it turned out, it was an extremely beautiful human female.

Trist has a curvy figure, a fair face, a pair of bright eyes that are extremely deep, and a gorgeous feather dress, which gives her a unique temperament.

In addition, logically speaking, the Queen Fengpeng in front of us should be very old, but it seems that time has left no trace on her at all.

"Merrick is dead?" Upon hearing the words of the Wind Peng Queen Trist, the imperial guardian named Walkermas couldn't help but look at Ryan with confusion.

He had naturally noticed Ryan just now, but he never thought that such a young man could actually kill the mutant Wind Peng leader Merrick.

You know, Merrick, nicknamed 'Heartbreaker', is a legendary figure at the peak of his powers, and he is extremely fast. Even if he does it himself, it will take some effort to kill the opponent.

"My Lord Guardian, I, Ryan from the Munster Sword Bearers branch of the Empire, salute you." At this time, Ryan faced Walkermas and bowed.

"Huh? Are you the sword bearer?" Walkermas raised his snow-white eyebrows and smiled.

It turned out that Walkermas was also born into the Imperial Sword-Bearer family. Of course, he was the son of a great noble family, and he joined the Sword-Bearer headquarters in the Imperial capital of Tamriel.

But this did not affect my good impression of Ryan when we first met.

Because even among the empire's top guardian group, there are quite a few guardians who are sword-wielding. Moreover, due to their common experiences, they have relatively good relationships and have always had a tradition of unity.

"Yes, sir." Ryan also smiled, and took out the badge of the Diamond-level Sword Bearer and the promotion order of the Imperial Capital Sword Bearer Headquarters from his arms and handed them to Walkermas.

After quickly scanning the information on the official letter, Walkermas looked at Ryan with even greater admiration.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him could single-handedly wipe out the Poseidon Cult's stronghold in Howling Fjord.

No wonder, he received Alfred's commendation and was promoted to the rank of a fine gold-level swordsman.

Such a young adamantium-level sword wielder?
Could it be that the Sword Bearer is going to produce another Imperial Guardian? Thinking of this, the wrinkles on Walkmas' face were almost shaped into chrysanthemums by smiling.

Queen Feng Peng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

She naturally knew the resume of this 'old rival' in front of her, and was even very familiar with his micro-expressions. How could she not know that the other party was cherishing his talent?

Because the identity of the young man in front of him turned out to be the sword bearer of the Dragun Empire, which was the same as the old guy's origin.

This put the Wind Peng Queen, Trist, in a dilemma for a moment.

Because if she made a move, Walkermas would definitely stop her.

Even if she could kill the young man in front of her, the thousand-year agreement between the Fengpeng clan and the empire would be destroyed.

Is it worth sacrificing thousands of tribesmen to kill this young man?
This is a question she needs to think about as the head of the clan.

But if she retreated like this, she would lose all her dignity as the queen of the Fengpeng clan.

In addition, she could not sense the crystal of divine power that Hela, the goddess of the underworld, had given her from the young man in front of her.

But she had just been to the location of Merrick's body and confirmed that the crystal of divine power was no longer there.

This is hell!

Although Trist really wanted to ask the little kid in front of her where the crystal of divine power had gone?
But she knew that she couldn't ask this question in front of the old man.

Once you ask, I'm afraid it will backfire.

"Walkermas, I will give you this face today."

Hearing this, Anna felt a little relieved. The aura of the Queen of Wind Peng in front of her was so strong that even the Blood-Feathered Hippogryph was trembling in fear.

Walkermas also breathed a sigh of relief. Trist's nickname was 'Lightning Walker' and her speed was so fast that even he could hardly match her. If they really fought, he could at most entangle the opponent, but he could not save the young man in front of him.

But the next second, Trist's pair of deep golden and blue eyes stared at Ryan.

"Psychic shock!"

In an instant, an invisible wave rushed towards Ryan.

Suddenly, Ryan groaned, and his head felt as if it was pierced by a needle, and his whole body was shaking.

Seeing this scene, Walkermas didn't know what was going on, and immediately got angry and said, "Trist, you are playing with fire!"

"Walkermas, did you see me do it? I didn't move at all." Trist spread out her hands, her beautiful face looking innocent.

"You" Walkermas couldn't help but get angry and was about to say something.

Suddenly, Trist waved her hand, stretched, revealing her exquisite curves, and said, "Walkermas, let's let it go this time, but it may not be the case next time. Tell him not to come to Beverly Hills again."

Trist knew that this was the current limit.

If she takes action again, she might touch the old man's bottom line.

Moreover, she was confident in the power of her mental attack. Even a third-level crystal wizard would be seriously injured if he was caught off guard and hit by her mental attack.

Although the human boy in front of him was gifted, his strength was definitely not at the level of a third-level crystallized wizard. After being hit by her attack, he would either become an idiot or spend decades healing.

The genius is basically dead.

In this case, the purpose of her trip has been achieved.

"Ryan?" Anna asked anxiously.

Ryan shook his head. Although his head still ached, he seemed to be able to bear the pain.

But the feeling of being suddenly hit by a heavy hammer is naturally very uncomfortable.

Ryan looked at Trist walking away and his eyes narrowed.

He believed that it would not be long before he would return to Beverly Hills again, and then he would find the Queen of Fengpeng and have a good chat about what happened today.

"What you just experienced was one of Trist's special talents, mental shock. Huh? I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. It seems that you have extraordinary willpower." Walkmas looked at Ryan with surprise on his face.

He thought that the young swordsman, Ryan, would be seriously injured.

You know, mental trauma is more difficult to heal than physical injuries.

Unexpectedly, this young man named Ryan surprised him again, and the other party's will seemed extremely strong!
"Ryan, judging from your appearance, you should be less than 20 years old, right? You are such a rare genius. By the way, you said you are from Munster?"

"But you don't look like the offspring of Little Ferreira (the real name of the Duke of Munster)." Walkmas said to himself with a puzzled look.

"Lord Walkermas, the Duke has taken good care of me. He is a respected elder." Ryan smiled and said.

"Elder? Hahaha, by the way, are you planning to go back to Munster first? Remember to say hello to little Ferreira for me. The last time I saw him, he was still a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old." Walkmas laughed, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"Also, Ryan, if you go to the imperial capital, remember to visit the Stilwell family when you have time. This is Pascal's scale."

Walkermas said with a smile as he took out a silver-white dragon scale and handed it to Ryan.

"Of course. Thank you Lord Walkermas for your help this time." Ryan took the silver dragon scale and said respectfully.

At the same time, I was shocked by Walkermas' age.

The other party actually called the Duke of Munster, who was of his grandfather's generation, Little Ferreira. The last time I saw him was at least forty or fifty years ago. Is this the concept of time of a high-level wizard?
How old is this guardian?
Soon, Ryan and Anna bid farewell to the Imperial Guardian Walkermas and set off again for Munster.

Half a day later.

"Look, Ryan, it's the Hammerfall Mountains!" Anna said in surprise, pointing her white finger at the gray-black mountains that stood like blades in front of her.

"Well, after passing Hammerfall Fortress, we are close to Munster." Ryan nodded with a smile.

The last time he passed through Hammerfall Fortress, something happened because of the riot of lava creatures. Along the way, he killed a lot of lava snakes and two-headed lava dogs.

I don’t know if everything will go smoothly this time.
