So far, Ryan's plan has been executed very smoothly. The gray-robed lich's combat power is roughly equivalent to that of a human great mage. Unfortunately, it was attacked by Ryan before it even had a chance to take action, and was frozen in the huge fortress. As for other undead creatures in the ice, they are not a threat to Ryan, but Ryan hopes to capture more dark rune knights and take them back for further study to see how the runes on their bodies take effect. , and how these undead creatures survive, how they obey orders, and how they fight, humans’ understanding of the undead is still very superficial. It would be a good thing if there were more samples to study.
In Ryan's view, those dark rune knights are equivalent to high-level human warriors, except that their predecessors are the stolen corpses of holy knights, so these dark rune knights have very good military knowledge, Ryan Although he used mirror clones to fight one against four, and had to control several other clones to deal with those giant skeleton golems and the like, he didn't care about anything in his heart. After all, he was a legendary mage.
When a high-level spellcaster confronts a high-level warrior head-on, the more common method is to strengthen his own protection, distance himself from each other, and gain time to release magic. Ryan's mirror clone does not need to do this, because Ryan's spellcasting The speed is extremely fast. With his current strength, magic below level 6 can be easily cast instantly, so when facing these dark rune knights, he only needs to keep releasing a large amount of attack magic to suppress it.
According to Ryan's past experience, such dense lightning bombarded the Dark Rune Knights, and soon they were unable to fight back. Who knew that when the battle really broke out, the combat effectiveness of these Dark Rune Knights would be so great that they were unable to fight back. Ryan was extremely surprised. If those lightning spells had hit other opponents, they would have been twitching and paralyzed. But when hundreds of lightning bolts struck the Dark Rune Knight, the latter showed no reaction at all. It's as if these magics didn't harm them at all,
Ryan controlled his mirror clone and hurriedly avoided the Dark Rune Knight's counterattack, and continuously released different types of magic such as fireballs and magic missiles during the dodge. As a result, these magics had no effect on the Dark Rune Knight. Only when Ryan used level 4 magic did he barely feel his opponent's body tremble slightly, but it only slightly interfered with the speed of the opponent's attack.
Ryan continued to use level 5 and level 6 magic. This was also the highest level of magic that his mirror clone could release. If it exceeded this level, he would have to work together to cast spells in the form of a magic circle, which would take a long time. Or it could be hosted by Ryan's body. These are not suitable for the current battle.
After raising the level of attack magic, those dark rune knights were also obviously affected by these magics. However, judging from the opponent's actions, it seems that these high-level magics did not cause the expected situation. A level 6 ice The explosion hit the chest of the Dark Rune Knight, but it only caused level 3 ice arrow damage and a slight deceleration effect. Obviously, there are unknown secrets in the armor and runes of these Dark Rune Knights.
"Boom, boom, boom." Continuous roars resounded throughout the mountain forest. Although the magic resistance of those dark rune knights surprised Ryan, their other undead companions could not do this. The elite skeleton warriors were in Ryan They are as fragile as paper in the face of magic. One of Ryan's fireballs is enough to turn them into pieces. Although those giant skeleton golems with magic runes painted on their bodies also have a certain degree of magic resistance, they are still unable to withstand it. The power of the level 6 magic "Thunder Blast" was finally destroyed one by one by Ryan.
However, in 2 or 3 minutes, Ryan completely cleared the area. He even had the idea to freeze a few more undead creatures with water magic, and planned to take them back for careful study. Now only the four dark symbols are still fighting. Knight Literary, the runes on them interested Ryan very much, but there was no need to take them all back at once, so Ryan's body took action.
With a silent teleportation, Ryan appeared next to a dark rune knight. At this time, the dark rune knight was swinging his weapon to slash Ryan's mirror clone, completely unaware of the more terrifying threat. Already appeared beside him, with blazing flames emerging from Ryan's body, he transformed into an adult red dragon in a very short period of time. The hot dragon's breath sprayed towards the unsuspecting dark rune knight, waiting until the latter noticed. By the time of Ryan's sneak attack, its body had been completely wrapped in rolling flames.
The dark rune knight that was attacked was reduced to ashes without any suspense. Although the runes on its body gave it extremely strong magic resistance and could greatly weaken the threat posed by magic to itself, these runes still could not do anything. Withstanding the terrifying power of Dragon Breath, not to mention these drawn runes, even the "Queen of Fire" Catherine, who is immune to most fire magic, almost died under the magic of this "Red Dragon Breath" , and after Ryan's trip to Dragon Island, he had a deeper understanding of this magic. Now the "red dragon breath" he releases is no different from a real adult red dragon. In a sense Said that Ryan has mastered a dragon language magic that would have been absolutely impossible to master.
After solving an enemy, Ryan dispelled a mirror clone, thus having more energy to deal with the remaining three dark rune knights. The three dark rune knights obviously also realized this. They knew that they wanted to It is almost impossible to escape unscathed. In terms of speed, who can beat the legendary mage with infinite teleportation? So these three dark rune knights made up their minds almost at the same time. They would not retreat but advance. , launched a frantic charge towards the location of Ryan's body,
These dark rune knights charged so fast that they left faint afterimages behind them. Suddenly, a huge arm came from the charging path of a dark rune knight. It broke out of the ground and grabbed the thigh of a dark rune knight. The latter was suddenly blocked while charging at high speed. Naturally, it fell forward without any suspense. However, its reaction was very fast. When his body was parallel to the ground, he immediately inserted the weapon in his hand into the soil in front of him to support his body balance. Then the dark rune knight turned around, picked up the weapon, and struck the arm made only of soil heavily.
The two-handed sword passed by, and the clay arm fell on the spot, but the dark rune knight did not break free, because more arms stretched out from the ground and grabbed its body tightly. Just as the dark rune knight tried his best While slashing the earth arms that controlled their movements, several earth element giants finally emerged from the ground. They surrounded the Dark Rune Knight who was sitting on the ground, and began to bully the few.
A wall of mud surged up from the ground, forming a thick obstacle in front of another Dark Rune Knight. The Dark Rune Knight charged so fast that there was no time to stop, and it did not stop at all. Meaning, he directly swung the two-handed sword forward and forcibly hit the mud wall.
"Pu Chi." The Dark Rune Knight forcibly passed through the obstacle in front of it. Its body was unscathed, but its charging speed slowed down slightly, and what appeared in front of it was a second, taller and more powerful one. The thick earth wall, this dark rune knight is quite powerful. It broke through three obstacles in succession, greatly shortening the distance between itself and Ryan, but its speed also became normal. Actions are no different;
The dark rune knight wanted to charge again, but when it exerted force on its feet, it suddenly felt that its feet were so soft that it could not borrow any strength. Only then did it realize that it was unknowingly stuck in the quagmire, and the dark rune knight Knight Wen knew very well that the harder he exerted force in such a quagmire, the faster he would sink, so he made an immediate decision and laid his body on the surface of the quagmire, and then began to roll toward the outside, hoping to use this method to escape.
The Dark Rune Knight reacted quickly, but Ryan's casting speed was faster. Before the Dark Rune Knight could roll over, Ryan's earth magic "Gravity Pull" was already released. The Dark Rune Knight Suddenly, I felt as if I was carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight. Even if I was lying on my side in the mud, I couldn't stop my body from sinking.
"Blindly relying on magic items can only make you fall." Ryan said lightly this classic quote said by Victor at the Imperial Capital Magic Exchange Conference. The runes on these dark rune knights can make them resistant to magic attacks. They have very amazing defense power, but if you carefully believe that they are nothing more than warriors with powerful magic items, frontal attacks have little effect, but if you change your thinking and use another method, even an ordinary high-level magician can It’s not like there’s no chance of defeating them head-on. At least none of the magic that Ryan released just now is above level 6.
At this time, the last surviving dark rune knight was less than 20 meters away from Ryan. The sword in his hand seemed to have smelled the smell of blood. Unfortunately, the dark rune knight could no longer move forward. A slight distance, because Ryan stuffed a powerful star power into its body, and this power that can be described as vast also replaced the dark power that controlled the Dark Rune Knight at the same time,
"Let me see if your body is as hard as the armor outside." After Ryan said this, he snapped his fingers, and the dark rune knight's body, tightly wrapped in armor, immediately A strange distortion occurred, and then the entire body was wiped out in an instant under the influence of the vast power of stars.
"Bang." A complete pair of dark rune armor fell to the ground, and its owner had become dust in the universe. Ryan carefully checked the integrity of the armor and couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction. He now felt that he was using this help. The control of the "sky blast" activated by the power of stars has become more and more exquisite. This also shows that Ryan's strength has been significantly improved compared to when he dealt with the dark elf in Moon Moon City.
"Okay, I think I can go back with the loot..." Before Ryan could say anything, he felt the fluctuations of the magic circle under his feet, and then a group of black mist rose from the magic circle, condensing into a ball in front of Ryan. A figure appeared in the center of the light curtain, but it was the commander of the undead army, the Lich Lord Nicholas.
When Ryan recognized Nicholas's appearance, Nicholas also saw Ryan, and it immediately spoke: "Yes, Ryan, you are earlier than I expected."
Ryan did not speak, but quietly stared at the image of Nicholas. The latter turned his body slightly, revealing the huge cave behind him, with dwarf mummies hanging in the air, piles of dwarf heads, and miserable wails. Ryan's heart tightened. With a brief glance, Ryan identified the area where Nicholas was located, which was the center of the business district of Blackstone City, the dwarf country.
"My friend, first of all, congratulations on your coming back, so that I won't be too lonely." Nicholas's voice appeared again: "But I have already started this game, and you, when will you join in."
Ryan did not speak, because he knew that it would be of no use whether he was angry, accusing or showing sad feelings. Calm down. Only by staying calm can you observe everything better and make the most favorable judgment.
Nicholas was also a little surprised by Ryan's reaction. This was really not like the young man described in the information it had. However, although the two could see each other, they were at least thousands of kilometers apart. The only method Nicholas could use was to pass through This teleportation magic circle passed through the words bound by time and space, so it continued: "Come on, let's see if you find Reynolds first, or if I take over his body first, an undead dwarf king, tsk tsk, it sounds amazing. Exciting, isn't it, my little friend."
Looking at Ryan's expressionless face, Nicholas, who had failed in his provocation, was about to end the call. Unexpectedly, Ryan suddenly spoke: "Hey, Nicholas, there is something I am curious about. Can you tell me the answer? .”
"Oh, there is something that even my little friend doesn't know." Nicholas stretched out his skeletal arm and waved his fingers at Ryan: "Come on, that promise is always valid, as long as you join us, You will understand everything, otherwise, I will not answer any questions for my enemies, I have no such obligation."
A bright smile appeared on Ryan's face, and the next moment his face underwent an astonishing change. An adult red dragon replaced his body and sprayed hot dragon breath towards the center of the magic circle. Nicholas was just about to make fun of him. Ryan said a few words, because in his opinion, Ryan's behavior was a meaningless vent, but Nicholas suddenly realized that something was wrong. It almost turned off the transmission effect of the magic circle immediately, but Ryan sprayed The dragon's breath that came out was the first to pass through the shackles of time and space, sprayed out from the other end of the magic channel, and went straight to Nicholas.
"Asshole." The Lich Lord, who had no negative emotions from humans, still cursed with a curse word. The dragon's breath breathed by Ryan lost most of its power after traveling through time and space, but it still caused a small impact on Nicholas. Affected by it, its robe that symbolized the identity of the Lich Lord ignited many flames, and quickly burned out many holes. Although this did not cause any harm to Nicholas, it was equivalent to injuring Nicholas in it. A hard slap on the face was enough.
Nicholas soon regained his composure. He silently stared at the teleportation magic circle that had been twisted and deformed under the breath of the Lion's Dragon. The surprise in his heart could not be restrained. Could it be that that ordinary human boy had really mastered the magic circle? Knowing the secrets of time and space, this is the power that only demigods have in legend.
