Ryan's Sword

Chapter 230 No.40 The Nine-Scene Masked Man

What struck Ian was a severed snake with only half of its body left. What caught the eye was not its undiminished swimming speed, but the incomplete carrion on the snake's body and the almost completely exposed pale spine.

No wonder this strange snake with only half its body didn't look injured at all, it itself was a dead thing without life.

"There are enemies."

Just when Lilith saw the incomplete rotten snake and cried out in alarm, the giant bear beside her suddenly made a sound, and at the same time swung the giant sword to bombard her place without hesitation!

To be precise, Tam's sword blasted at the position behind Lilith.

But caught off guard, the suffocating whistling had already enveloped her head, and the ranger girl, whose mind was blank, had no time to make a correct response, so she had to close her eyes with a pale face, and stood on the spot blankly.

However, Lilith was not alone at this time.Before the giant sword fell, Ian, who heard the warning from the giant bear, turned around, reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist, dragging her behind Randolph.

boom! !

Amidst the loud noise of the land cracking, the exploding earth and rocks seemed to be thrown into the lake, and invisible ripples rippled in the air. Immediately, a vaguely masked figure suddenly appeared, and it was Tam's wrist that greeted him. The giant sword that was lifted without stopping during the flip.

The masked man who was out of stealth was wearing a dark blue tights. Facing the bombardment of giant swords that came in front of him, his gray and strange eyes showed a hint of provocative disdain.

Bang!

The two crossed daggers blocked the giant bear's bottom-up attack, and the heavy swords failed to blast the masked man's defense, instead causing him to fall backwards in an instant.

"Awareness is good, stupid adventurer..."

A strange hoarse voice like sandpaper rubbing came out from under the thick face towel, but before the words fell, the masked man with a sarcastic voice shrank his pupils, and looked at the dark light and shadow that flashed in the field of vision in amazement.

Ian's attack arrives.

"!!!"

The jet-black sword light that came in pursuit seemed to appear out of nowhere, and stabbed in front of the masked man in the blink of an eye.At the moment of life and death, he showed the strong flexibility of the thief profession, his body instinctively fell back at the moment of death, and at the same time raised the dagger in his hand, trying to knock out the dangerous sword light
The edge of the short sword cut a faint blue cold light, and hit the black streamer piercing from the sky.This dagger, which was forged with rare materials, has gained stronger toughness than similar weapons since it came out of the furnace. Even if it has not been enchanted by an alchemist, it can be regarded as a magic weapon blank.

But it was such a fine short sword, when it collided with the pitch-black long sword that struck from the sky, it broke an extremely clear gap as easily as if bread met a table knife.

The whole process of the short sword breaking apart was carried out silently. If the masked man hadn't been the owner of the weapon, it would have been difficult for him to discover the change at this time.

"This is impossible!"

The scream in his heart almost rushed out of his throat, but as an enemy, Ian would not accompany him in a daze.The wrist trembled, and the suddenly blurred black sword shadow easily shattered the blocking short sword. At the same time, the thrusting technique was activated, and the long sword turned straight down and cut off half of the masked man's palm, piercing through him mercilessly. scapula, nailing it firmly to the ground.

"...uh-"

Amidst the masked man's miserable howls, Ian stepped forward and stomped his left hand holding the other dagger into the soil.After confirming that the enemy could not move, he said to the back: "Tam, Randolph, pay attention to the snakes over there; Lilith, go to the tent to get your bow and arrow, and help."

From the giant bear's sudden attack to Ian chasing and catching the enemy, the whole process was like lightning, ending the battle in an instant.So much so that Randolph, who was holding a sword and shield, was stunned for a second before he responded loudly, and together with the silent Tamm, he faced the carrion snakes rushing like a tide.

Behind them, Lilith, who heard Ian's voice, subconsciously glanced at her empty little hand. It turned out that she hadn't brought a weapon when she came out of the tent.Thinking of her poor performance in the forest farm just a moment ago, the ranger girl secretly gritted her teeth, turned her head and got into the tent to take out the longbow and quiver, and then followed two teammates to support them.

"Okay, now let's talk about you." Ian's little leather boots fell like lightning, and stepped heavily on the enemy's chest and neck. "Do you want to die or live?"

The severe pain of the severed palm still persisted, and a few more ribs were broken under the tremendous pressure on the chest. The gums that were bitten to death by the masked man were bleeding, but the gray pupils still shot out two unruly and fierce lights. It seemed that he wanted to bite off a bite of flesh on Ian's body with his eyes.

"You think you've won? Stupid adventurer...uh..."

"I ask, you answer, if you talk nonsense, I will kill you directly, do you understand?" Ian crushed his feet hard, and the broken and dislocated ribs almost pierced directly into the masked man's lungs and viscera. The unfinished harsh words were choked back into the stomach with a painful muffled groan.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Feeling that the pressure on his chest was slightly relieved, the masked mouth gasped heavily, but his eyes still stared hard at Ian's face.

"Kill...kill me, adventurer," his hoarse and unspeakable voice revealed the weakness of excessive loss of vitality, which sounded like the neighing of a viper, "you don't know what you are about to face, but death will find you soon You guys! Ah..."

"It's all said, I don't want to hear your nonsense."

The masked man didn't even see how Ian made a move. The long sword nailed to his shoulder had already pierced a terrifying blood hole in his left ear.Blood gushed out like spring water after a rainstorm, and at the same time, the mask on the masked man's face was cut off by the sword and slid down the other side of the gap.

What the enemy showed was a youthful square face. His pale skin looked like a tuberculosis ghost who hadn't seen the sun all year round. With those evil pupils, it gave people a cold feeling.However, this person's face is not ugly, and even the sharp-edged facial lines are somewhat masculine that a man should have.

"Look at you, Northerner?"

Bowing down, Ian approached the young man and asked casually.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued on his own: "Let me guess, your voice should be natural or just like this. Some spells that use the fusion of non-human blood to obtain strengthening effects will have similar side effects, such as the deep voice. 'Krait Body (C)', am I right, Mister Thief of the Devouring Ring?"
