Chapter 433 Dragon Soul Strike
[Ding! It is found that the host has absorbed the complete Void Dragon bloodline and can be integrated into the existing high-level mutant dragon bloodline. Since only one bloodline can be retained, the fusion is automatically started.]

【Ding! Fusion successful! 】

[After fusion, the host will have the Void Dragon's special ability 'Voidization' in the fourth form. ]

[Effect of Virtualization: Consume a certain amount of mental energy to make the body virtual. During the virtualization period, you will be immune to 90% of physical attacks and 50% of witchcraft or other energy attacks.]

[After fusion, the host will have the special ability of 'two heads' in the fourth form. ]

[Dual-head effect: In addition to the main body's head, a void dragon's head will also grow, which can release void breath. ]

After Ryan's successful job change, all of his attributes improved significantly. He felt full of strength, as if there was a super-powerful generator inside his body, supplying energy to his entire body.

After feeling the physical changes for a while, Ryan focused his attention on the system panel.

First of all, the original Warhammer Wizard (Legend) panel has disappeared, and instead, the Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend) profession panel has appeared.

Different from the previous legendary profession panel's blue light and the epic profession's purple light, the legendary profession panel flashes a unique orange light.

This is an orange color that flows and condenses like mercury!

The system prompts that kept flooding the screen made Ryan overwhelmed.

However, when changing jobs, almost every prompt displayed by the system contains important information and needs to be carefully reviewed.

So Ryan checked them one by one.

"All attributes increased by 15 points, and spirit increased by 20 points!"

"This increase far exceeds the increase of the previous epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'. However, compared with the difficulty of changing classes, it is a good match."

"If we hadn't happened to encounter the Void Dragon this time, I'm afraid my transformation into a Dragon Vein Wizard would have been delayed for a long time."

"Also, the upper limit of the number of panels has been increased by one again!"

Ryan was in high spirits when he saw the total number of his career panel increase by 1!
This also once again verifies one point, that is, for any profession, after entering a level that has not been reached before, the number of profession panels will increase by one.

This also means that once he chooses a new profession, he will be able to quickly gain a large number of skill points and attribute points, which will be very helpful for mastering new witchcraft and avoid wasting a lot of time and energy on practicing witchcraft.

"Huh? Only one core skill? Dragon Soul Smash?" Ryan showed a hint of surprise.

You know, when you switched to the epic profession King of Thousand Blades before, you had more than one core skill. How come this time, the more powerful Dragon Vein Wizard profession only has one core skill?
"If that's the case, then there may be only one answer, and that is that this core skill is very powerful." A flash of inspiration immediately flashed through Ryan's mind, and he said.

Sure enough, when he focused his attention on the big new icon 'Dragon Soul Smash', he was extremely happy the next second!

Dragon Soul Smash Effect: When this skill is activated, the mental energy consumed by you to cast witchcraft will be doubled, but all witchcraft released during this period will be accompanied by some real damage.

(Note: The power of true damage is proportional to the concentration of dragon blood, the strength of mental power, and the power of witchcraft.)
"True damage? All sorcery?"

"Compared to that, consuming twice as much mental energy is nothing! Besides, doesn't this mean that I don't have to be limited to the Soul Crushing Hammer to cause real damage?"

Ryan was naturally well aware of the power of true damage.

You know, during the Meister period, Ryan, who had not yet reached the legendary level, used the 'Soul Crushing Hammer' to defeat the ancient hero 'Mung'.

If he could have changed his job to a dragon vein wizard earlier, perhaps when fighting against the incarnation of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, he wouldn't have needed a bloodline transformation at all, and could have won by relying solely on witchcraft.

As Ryan kept looking through the system records, he also saw several battle prompts that he had not had time to check before:

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 47 gold skill point! 】

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

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

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

In three consecutive battles, Ryan defeated Lambert, the incarnation of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, and the void dragon respectively, which enabled the legendary profession 'Warhammer Wizard' and the epic profession 'King of Thousand Blades' to be upgraded to the next level.

It gave him two attribute points and two skill points.

Because he added ten attribute points to restore his physical strength in the last two battles, his remaining attribute points are now 4 points, skill points are 3 points, and his gold skill points have reached an exaggerated 203 points.

Name: Ryan Callan

职业：龙脉巫师（传说）lv1；千刃之王（史诗）lv15；野兽祭司（传奇）lv5；魔药大师（传奇）lv6；大铸甲师（超凡）lv6；巫纹裁缝（超凡）lv7。

Spirit: 166 (crystallized 76%)

Although Ryan really wanted to try out the effect of Dragon Soul's heavy attack, it was not appropriate at this moment. In addition, after continuous battles and job changes, he still needed a short rest.

When Ryan woke up again, he felt hungry. He immediately told the servant at the door and soon enjoyed a sumptuous meal with ferocious beasts as the main ingredient.

Just as Ryan finished his meal, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong!"

As Ryan's door was half-open during dinner, the knock on the door was mainly out of courtesy.

"Please come in!"

Ryan looked up and saw General Augustus and Major General Tatia walking in. He immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile.

After some greetings, General Augustus looked Ryan up and down and asked, "Sir Ryan, I would like to ask, has your strength reached the epic level?"

This question not only puzzled him, but also puzzled others for some time.

Before Ryan entered the secret realm and fought with the injured goddess of the underworld Hela, no one had thought that Ryan's strength had reached an epic level.

After the fight with the Goddess of the Underworld, many people speculated that Ryan's strength, or to be more precise, his strength after his bloodline transformation, had reached the epic level.

However, there are still quite a few people who believe that the incarnation of the Goddess of the Underworld was seriously injured by the "Red Queen" Her Highness Menia at that time, and then she fled into the secret realm of Dragon Valley, so her strength has fallen from the epic level.

But even so, after the battle between Ryan and the Void Dragon, most people in the command hall on the second floor believed that Ryan's strength after the transformation should have reached the epic level.

As for why everyone attaches so much importance to this?
That’s because the epic level is an important watershed in the level of strength. If I were to explain the reasons, I could write dozens of them in detail.

Looking at the burning gaze of General Augustus, Ryan thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide in the general direction, but the degree could be slightly reduced.

He nodded and said, "Well, I only discovered this recently after my bloodline further awakened. My strength after the transformation is stronger than before. I can be considered to have barely entered the epic level."

"Great! It has reached the epic level!" General Augustus slapped his thigh and said happily.

If it was all speculation before, there would still be some doubts even if one was sure, but now that it has been positively confirmed by the parties involved, there is no doubt anymore.

At least, in the eyes of General Augustus, there was no doubt.

"Sir Ryan, from the moment you defeated the incarnation of the Underworld Goddess head-on, I knew that your strength must have reached the epic level. The subsequent killing of the Void Dragon further proved this point."

Augustus's guess was confirmed, and he couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, you are now qualified to become the Guardian of the Empire." The female Major General Tatia beside him also smiled and congratulated. "Guardian?" Ryan was slightly surprised.

This was something he had not expected. He would be able to apply for the title of 'Guardian of the Empire', which was nominally the most powerful military force of the Dragun Empire, so soon.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, although your strength has reached the epic level only after your bloodline transformation, this is also a gift. According to past practice, the Imperial Senate and the Royal Family both recognize it."

Tatia explained with a smile.

"That's right. However, although becoming a guardian has many benefits, the entire identification process is rather complicated. At the same time, it also requires inspection and the signing of a highly binding contract." Augustus said with a serious face.

"Oh? A binding contract?" Ryan nodded. He had heard of this before.

Ever since the ancestor of the Drum family, the dragon knight Pantoskok, who was named 'Storm Cloud', could not attack him, Ryan knew that dragon knights, or guardians of the empire, could not attack imperial personnel below the epic level at will.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who actively offend, cults and non-imperial people, but even so, there are extremely strict constraints.

"Well, the leading power in this matter does not lie with an individual, nor with the Sword Bearer Headquarters. After the retest in the Dragon Valley Secret Realm is over, the report on this mission will be submitted."

"Mr. Ryan, your contributions will naturally be recorded. It is expected that the Senate and the royal family will send someone to communicate with you after a period of time."

"However, His Majesty the Emperor is still recovering from his injuries, so it is hard to say when someone from the royal family will arrive. Lord Ryan, you only need to know that there is such a thing." General Augustus said in detail.

"Okay, I understand." Ryan nodded and said.

He had also heard about this matter. Due to the Emperor's injury, this year's awarding ceremony was not held. According to the time in previous years, his earldom should have been approved last month.

But this year, there has been no news until now.

Of course, this is also because Ryan did not specifically inquire about the relevant information. Otherwise, it would be easier to find out the situation by asking Marquis Javier who serves in the Senate.

"Sir Ryan, you may very well be the second person in the Imperial Sword Bearer System to become a Guardian in the past few decades. That's amazing!"

"Alas, once you become the Guardian of the Empire, there will inevitably be a transfer in your position. I'm afraid you will have to leave the Sword Bearer System." General Augustus said with emotion and sighed.

"But this is a good thing, a very good thing!" Augustus added.

"Thank you, General Augustus. As for me, I have deep feelings for the Sword Bearer. I think, if the Empire allows, I will stay with the Sword Bearer as much as possible, at least for a while." Ryan said with a smile.

at the same time.

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

Located in the Second Prince’s residence on the left side of the Imperial Palace.

A middle-aged noble with a mustache was standing respectfully beside a blond man with a feminine face but elegant temperament, reporting something:
"Your Highness, the informant just sent us urgent information that Ryan has returned from the secret realm. More importantly, he has obtained the Void Young Dragon Blood Essence that you arranged for Barnes and the other two to find a way to obtain."

"Have you returned so soon? According to the time, only a few hours have passed. There is still more than half a day left before the end of the 24-hour secret realm retest."

Upon hearing the news, the second prince Everton, who had originally had a calm expression, put down the documents in his hand, looked up at the wall clock on the study, and asked in confusion.

"That's right. The informant doesn't know the specific reason, but it is certain that the other party has returned. Many people in the lobby on the first floor of the Astrologer Platform have seen it."

"Also, the informant's information said that this young Void Dragon is a bit large and is suspected to be an adult Void Dragon." Buchanan added.

"Oh? Is it very big? It should be a teenage dragon close to adulthood that has been infected by the Void Beast. The value of its blood essence must be even higher." The second prince Everton said after thinking for a moment.

Although the intelligence said this, neither Buchanan nor the Second Prince Everton thought of this so-called 'Void Dragonling' as an adult Void Dragon.

After all, the dragons living in the secret realm of Dragon Valley are all young dragons and teenage dragons.

In fact, no one, including Ryan, had anticipated the encounter with the Void Dragon.

The other problem is the informant himself. As a servant of the Astrologer's Platform and a great knight by birth, he doesn't know much about void creatures. Therefore, he is more cautious in his choice of words, often using words like "suspected" and "seems to be".

"Oh, by the way, how did the informant know that Ryan had obtained the blood essence of the Void Dragon?" Everton asked again.

"Confirmed! Because the corpse of the young void dragon is currently on the first floor of the Astrologer's Platform, and Ryan extracted the essence of the dragon's blood in front of everyone."

"Huh?" The second prince Everton, with golden hair, was also stunned when he heard the news.

Extracting blood essence in front of everyone?
"No one brought it up at the time. Although the corpse of the Void Dragon was the spoils of war of this Ryan, shouldn't the Empire be in charge of the distribution of such a rare item?"

"Uh, not really."

"It seems that it is because of the intervention of the top leaders of the Sword Bearers. So where is this Ryan now?"

"Still on the second floor of the Astrologer's Platform. It is said that they suffered heavy losses in the battle and are resting. By the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing. The informant said that it seems that the extraction device used by Ryan has a five-colored scale mark on the surface of its box."

"I was wondering, shouldn't this be the symbol of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood? Where did Ryan get this? It couldn't be..." Buchanan didn't continue.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the second prince's eyes flashed with a gleam, his face immediately became serious, he stood up from behind the luxurious mahogany desk, looked at Buchanan, and asked seriously: "Are you sure?"

“Basically confirmed.”

"Okay, I understand. Barnes and the other two probably met with an accident. But the other party just finished the battle, so they can't use the blood essence immediately. But it's hard to say after a few days."

Based on the intelligence, the second prince Everton basically outlined the general outline of the whole matter.

For example, Barnes met Ryan alone who was fighting the Void Dragon. So, Barnes, who was planning to launch a sneak attack, did not wait for Reagan and Bronson to make a move, but was directly overturned by Ryan.

Or maybe Barnes and the other two get together and find Ryan, but the mission fails. However, in this case, we need to pay more attention to Ryan.

The above two situations can well explain why the extraction device of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood fell into Ryan's hands.

As for why Ryan came back early?

This explains it better. Since the intelligence shows that the young void dragon is very large, it probably has some special abilities, such as being able to easily tear open cracks in some weak places in the secret realm, causing Ryan to fall in during the battle.

"Immediately have your informant keep an eye on this Ryan's movements. Once he leaves the Astrologer Platform, you must immediately communicate with this Ryan. Even if you have to pay an extra price, it doesn't matter. Make sure he trades the Void Dragon's blood essence to us."

"Yes, Your Highness. But what if Ryan firmly disagrees? It may not be easy to take action in the imperial capital." Buchanan thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and said.

The second prince Everton smiled and said:
"Haha, you don't have to resort to violence to solve it. Let Quinna stay nearby. If communication fails, let her take over. With the blood of a shadow dragon, it's relatively easy for her to take a box without anyone noticing."

"Your Highness, wise, why didn't I think of that?" Buchanan complimented with a smile.

Buchanan had only met Quinna once, but that time left a deep impression on him.

That time, you needed to enter a secret room in a noble mansion to take an important item, but the secret room was extremely strong and had a first-level protective magic array, making the task quite difficult.

But Quinna seemed to have entered the subspace, walked in easily and got the items.

The several-meter-thick granite and the magical protection array were all useless.
