The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 514 The True Knight

Seeing this scene, even Ryan's heart skipped a beat.

If the opponent only had one more clone, it would be fine. If they fought hard, the victory or defeat could be evenly matched. But now, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, seemed to cheat and got herself five clones at once.
In addition, Ryan also noticed that the densely packed Flying Fish Knights and Manta Ray Knights of the Poseidon Cult gathered from all directions like a flock of crows, forming a huge net that covered the sky and surrounded them.

Moreover, as if they had received some kind of order, these flying fish and manta rays, all of which were ferocious water species, began to spit out water mist in an orderly manner. Soon, drizzling rain fell all around.

Obviously, the rainy environment is good for Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

In other words, although Ryan had finally managed to lure Hela, the goddess of the underworld, to the island, the impact was greatly weakened after the other party's actions.

This couldn't help but make Ryan frown even deeper.

Just as Ryan was thinking quickly about how to break the impasse, suddenly, Menia's spiritual voice came from behind Ryan:
"Ryan, I have a way, but I need you to trust me completely."

"Ryan, do you believe me?"

"Hmm?" Ryan didn't know why Menia suddenly said such a random sentence.

He tilted his head slightly and saw Menia looking at him with an extremely serious expression.

But he didn't quite understand what Menia meant by "believe", so for a moment, Ryan didn't answer whether he believed or not.

"Believe me."

And after Menia said this for the second time, something shocking happened to Ryan!

The Red Queen Menia, dressed in a red wizard robe, had wisps of blood floating all over her body. Although the amount of blood was small, Ryan could feel the surging energy contained in it.

At the same time, a transparent figure walked out from the other person's mature and graceful body.

The next moment, the figure came in front of Ryan. Ryan, who was about to resist, suddenly remembered what Menia had just said and relaxed his mind. In an instant, Menia's transparent figure took a step and completely merged into Ryan's body.

Along with it, there were also strands of blood emitting a faint golden color, which merged into Ryan's body like a trickle of water.

"Dragon blood sacrifice?!" Hela, the goddess of the underworld who saw this scene, obviously knew what Menia had just done.

"The descendant of Dragun just now was actually willing to sacrifice his dragon blood for you!" Hela seemed a little unbelievable. Her eyes could not help but look back and forth at Ryan and Menia, who was pale and slowly falling down like a puppet behind him.

"That's right. You have the blood of a multi-headed dragon, and you can almost completely absorb everything from the other party."

At this time, Ryan didn't pay any attention to the words of Hela, the goddess of the underworld. He was shocked by the changes happening in his body.

System prompts appeared like a flood on the screen:

[The host is infused with unknown energy, and his mental strength is greatly enhanced! ]

[The host is infused with high-quality dragon blood, the blood concentration is greatly increased, and the seventh form, the 'Extremely Old Dragon' form, is automatically activated. ]

"This"

"Extremely old dragon form?"

For a moment, Ryan felt as if there was endless energy surging in his body, and his body in the three-headed dragon state expanded further.

Unlike the original old dragon form, which was 30% larger than an ordinary dragon, at this moment, Ryan's body size had surged by more than meters again, reaching nearly meters, and his strength, agility and other attributes had increased synchronously.

After a rough feeling, Ryan felt that his strength had increased by more than 60%.

At the same time, fragments of memories that did not belong to Ryan flashed through his mind like slides, including the young girl, the royal etiquette learning, the luxurious palace dinner, the majestic dragon, the elegant young man, the multi-headed dragon, and the
"Is this a fragment of His Highness Menia's memory?!" Ryan said in astonishment.

He could see fragments of Menia's memories from childhood to the present, and he even had a feeling that as time went on, if he absorbed all of Menia's energy, which he could call "infusion", he should be able to possess all of Menia's knowledge.

In other words, all of Menia's secrets were revealed to him.

This is a huge sacrifice for a woman!

The most important point is that Ryan finally understood why Menia had inadvertently revealed a very strange expression when she looked at him before.
"Your Highness Menia, you shouldn't be asking me whether I believe you, but whether I am worthy of your trust." Ryan sighed in his heart.

But obviously, now is not the time to continue thinking about this.

And Ryan also instantly understood the huge price Menia would have to pay for using this move!

He had to hurry up and resolve the battle as quickly as possible, so that he could separate the other party's consciousness and send it back to his body. Otherwise,
Ryan is not being selfless, but using this method to improve his strength goes against his principles.

In addition, although improving strength is not as simple as eating and drinking water for Ryan, to be honest, it is not difficult. This can be seen from the fact that he has become a fourth-level Dawn Wizard in less than two years.

Therefore, following one's heart may be more important for Ryan.

"hold head high!!!"

Following a roar from Ryan, the dark silver three-headed extremely old dragon pounced towards the nearest incarnation of the Goddess of the Underworld. Despite its huge body, its speed and flexibility were even faster than before.

Suddenly, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, realized that Ryan had come in front of her. In a hurry, she could only quickly raise her trident to block.

"clang!!!"

A sharp dragon claw with bulging muscles broke the energy trident with just one strike.

The other dragon claw stabbed out as fast as thunder, and in the blink of an eye, a big hole was dug out in the body of Hela's incarnation, and hundreds of tons of sea water flew away.

"Fire Breath!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a cone-shaped flame that was nearly twice as powerful, instantly vaporizing most of the Hela incarnation that was over a hundred meters tall!

"Mortal, do you think you can turn the tables?"

Hela’s main consciousness seemed to have transferred to another incarnation of sea water, and she shouted angrily.

Following Hela's angry shout, four seawater clones attacked Ryan at the same time.

But with the blessing of Menia's bloodline and spiritual infusion, Ryan's strength has been greatly improved at this moment. In addition, Ryan did not care about his physical strength at all. The three sea water clones were all blown up by Ryan one after another in a very short time.

Soon, the goddess of the underworld Hela was left with only one sea water clone.

However, even though the clones were blown up, the remaining seawater lingering in a faint black color unknowingly came to the feet of Hela's last clone and quickly merged into it.

The water mist spewed out by the flying fish and manta rays, as well as the dripping rain all around, were also attracted by something and gathered towards the last clone of Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

The size of Hela's clone grew rapidly again, reaching a height of nearly 170 to 180 meters. However, it seemed that this had reached the limit of what she could control in such a hurry. There was still some residual sea water under her feet, which she was unable to blend in.

Because at this moment, Ryan has come to her!
"Ding!!!" This time, Hela's enhanced energy trident finally resisted Ryan at this moment.

But Ryan's methods are obviously not limited to these. Hela then realized that the void dragon head on Ryan's right side had actually shrunk back, and what grew out next was actually a red dragon's head.

In other words, in his current extremely old dragon form, Ryan can actually grow the same dragon head repeatedly.

What surprised Hela even more was that the breath that Ryan's main dragon head spewed out turned into the 'Breath of Fire' that was the most harmful to her. At the same time, Ryan's other two red dragon heads also opened their mouths and started spewing!
In an instant, a cone-shaped flame spewed out from the three dragon heads and merged in mid-air.

It seems that quantitative change has led to qualitative change!

After the three 'flaming breaths' collided with each other, they formed a sphere of increasingly hot, emitting a dazzling white flame.

This is exactly the Red Dragon Secret Technique in the memory of the 'Red Queen' Menia - "Molten Flame", an extremely powerful killing move that requires at least three extremely old red dragons to work together.

What is even more unstoppable is the 'real damage' contained therein.

Since the power of true damage is directly proportional to the concentration of dragon blood, the strength of mental power and the power of witchcraft, it has reached its peak at this moment.

"Do not!!!"

Because the white flame sphere was formed right in front of Hela's clone, it collided with Hela's clone the moment it was formed and exploded violently, leaving no time to react, let alone dodge.

"boom!!!"

An extremely dazzling white light flashed, and then a dazzling beam of light appeared and quickly spread out, not only piercing through the rain curtain just created by the flying fish and manta rays, but also blasting a huge hole a hundred meters deep in the ground in the center of the island.

The extremely high temperature instantly evaporated all the water vapor, and the real damage simultaneously wiped out the consciousness of Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

As for Ryan, in order to protect the body of Red Queen Menia not far behind him, he stood in front and was also burned by the molten flame.

However, as the sea water clone of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, was destroyed, Ryan suddenly discovered that a rare female mermaid body was floating above the big hole. The body was almost intact and at the same time, it was emitting a faint colorful mist.

After a brief thought, Ryan turned around and held Menia in his hand. Then, he flew over and held the mermaid's body in his hand.

As the hand was shaking, suddenly, the system prompt appeared:
[Ding! A large amount of unknown high-quality energy that can enhance the quality of spiritual power has been detected. Yes/No to absorb? (Note: The system can remove impurities by absorption.)]

Ryan's eyes lit up immediately, he was overjoyed, and chose "yes" without hesitation!
In an instant, he felt a powerful, pure and majestic energy coming from the female mermaid's body. He was absorbing it at a high speed and rushing straight to his mind from all parts of his body.

And the spiritual force particle in his mind, which was originally as big as a walnut, now swelled further and grew larger!

However, this time Ryan did not have time to carefully feel the changes brought about by this energy, but instead planned to immediately separate Menia's spirit or consciousness from his body.

But if you want to do this, you must find a relatively safe place for a short period of time.

"Huh? An underground river? A cave?" Ryan suddenly discovered that the huge underground hole that had just been blasted out during the battle was now gushing out a large stream of water.

After a little thought, Ryan rushed down quickly. With a splash, as Ryan jumped into the water, a few seconds later, he swam out a long and narrow passage and came to an area similar to an underground cave.

There are underground rivers and lakes around, but they are not large in size and the temperature is much higher than on the surface. It seems that this was once a gap left by the eruption of an underwater volcano.

Ryan quickly sensed the area and found that there were no ferocious species around except some small fish. He immediately placed Menia's body flat on a relatively flat boulder.

Then he started peeling.

"what!!!"

When Ryan was really about to extract Menia's spirit and blood, which had almost merged with him by half, a pain as if his own spine was being pulled out of his body stimulated every nerve in Ryan.

The next moment, Ryan peeled out Menia's transparent spirit and a large pool of dazzling golden-red blood from her body, and quickly pressed them on Menia's mature and graceful human body.

"Hu~~"

Although the whole process only took a few seconds, Ryan's forehead was already covered with sweat and a feeling of weakness arose spontaneously.

This was normal, after all, what he had just received was an extra "infusion". Now that it had returned to its original owner, Ryan naturally felt a sense of emptiness in his body. However, after all, he had absorbed most of the essence of the divine power of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, and Ryan still had a great improvement.

Ryan glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 272 (Qualitative 61%)

"The degree of quality has increased from 34% to 61%. It can be considered as officially entering the late stage of Dawn Wizard. Not bad."

After this battle, Ryan actually caught up with the strength of veteran imperial guardians such as the 'Red Queen' Menia.

However, before he had time to think it over carefully, Ryan heard a muffled groan from a mature woman coming from the boulder beside him.

"Your Highness Menia, how do you feel?" Ryan immediately turned sideways and looked over.

"Ryan, did you win?" Menia held her fair forehead, her pretty face looking a little pale and painful.

"Won."

Ryan had just experienced the feeling of having his nerves torn, so he naturally knew how much pain Menia was in. He immediately ignored etiquette and stepped forward to support Menia.

Looking closely, he discovered that Menia's face was actually very beautiful, but she usually tried not to smile in order to maintain the royal family and her own pressure.

"Ryan, I didn't expect you to defeat Hela, the goddess of the underworld, so quickly. Moreover, after winning, you actually sent my consciousness back into my body again."

Menia stared at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.

After all, ninety-nine percent of people, when faced with her voluntarily offering them the essence of dragon blood and consciousness, thereby greatly enhancing their strength, would be eager to absorb and strengthen themselves.

It is almost impossible for him to choose to risk damaging his strength in order to strip away her consciousness and blood essence again.

In addition, this was also due to the fact that Ryan had just defeated the Goddess of the Underworld very quickly. Otherwise, if time had dragged on a little longer, it would have been difficult to peel it off.

"Ryan, after you absorb my spirit and blood, your strength will be greatly improved."

"Thank you, Your Highness Menia, but I heard someone say something."

"Hmm?" Menia couldn't help but look at Ryan curiously, as if she really wanted to hear what Ryan would say.

"Some people say that if a person loses money, he actually loses nothing; if a person loses strength, it means he loses something; but if a person loses his character, he loses everything." Ryan said slowly.

"Character? I understand, Ryan, the person who said this is a true knight." Menia nodded and said approvingly.

"Besides, you too!"
