Ryan's idea failed to come true in the end. When he rushed all the way to the place where he killed the ancient black dragon, not only did he not see the dead figure of Laurencos, he didn't even find the mummy he left after sucking the blood. Of course, this The main reason is that this journey is too close to the place where the ancient black dragon sleeps, so that no magical beast dares to live here. Even if Laurencos wants to find some prey to suck blood, he can't.
Ryan was suspended in the sky and looked down at the ground. The area more than ten kilometers below his feet was the place where the ancient black dragon's broken body fell. It was not much different from when Ryan and the others left. Although the ancient black dragon died, but The prestige accumulated over thousands of years still exists. Naturally, no magical beast would dare to break in here and devour its remaining flesh and blood. However, after a not short period of time, the remaining blood on the ground has completely penetrated into the ground below. In the mud, the entire area was completely dyed with a shocking dark red color, looking like the legendary Shura battlefield that had experienced countless killings.
Ryan carefully observed the surrounding situation, but did not find anything noteworthy. Then he used his magic eyes to repeatedly detect the area, but still found no trace of Laurencos. All signs seemed to indicate that this The leader of the Ashamai clan just passed by here. He didn't dare to stay and continued to flee for his life in the distance. If it were other strong people here, they might really be deceived by the realistic illusion in front of them. Even if they find out later, If something goes wrong, going back here again will waste valuable time.
However, Ryan will not be fooled, because he knows very well how great the temptation of the ancient black dragon's blood is to the vampires, and he also knows that Laurencos did not hesitate to risk his death twice to go deep into the foggy cave. In a normal environment, there must be a realistic illusion barrier hidden. Not long ago, when Ryan was accidentally leaked by the psychic storm erupted by the two-headed Soul Prisoner before his death, he was also hiding nearby. However, Laurencos could still continue to hide his whereabouts silently, and he also concealed Ryan's perception and launched a sneak attack while he was distracted. This shows that Laurencos must be outstanding in this regard. , but in a hurry, Ryan would not be able to find a way to break this illusion.
Laurenkos must have had a plan after all the hard work to get here. He used illusions to cover his traces probably to buy time, so Ryan did not plan to search everywhere step by step after landing on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to think about what if he It was Laurencos who would choose where to set up such an illusion barrier. About two seconds later, Ryan already had the answer in his heart. Since Laurencos came for the blood of the black dragon, this place has the most blood left. The area possibility is naturally the greatest, so when Ryan reopened his eyes, he had already locked the target position of the upcoming attack.
The dense magic energy in the air allowed Ryan to complete a powerful magic without any effort. A ball of lava meteorite wrapped in blazing flames roared from the sky towards the ground, and the meteorite fell behind him like a meteor. It dragged out a bright trajectory and hit the ground hard under Ryan's gaze. Amidst the huge explosions and rolling flames, countless lava fragments splashed out towards the surroundings, but when these fragments When they flew to a location that should be empty, they separated and continued on both sides strangely, as if something was blocking them.
"It's right here." Ryan didn't expect that he would find Laurencos' hiding place in his first attack. Not only did he not show such an expression on his face, but he looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly. Anyone would think that Ryan This blow was intentional, and even Laurencos, who was hiding in the illusion barrier, was no exception. He looked up at Ryan with an incredible look in his eyes. The leader of the Ashamai clan could not have imagined that he would The method used to conceal his whereabouts was actually so vulnerable to Ryan. It was a powerful artifact that was said to be able to deceive even the demigod king.
When the second lava meteorite fell in the sky, Laurencos could no longer care about Ryan, and turned his head to look at the blood runestone not far in front of him. Below, the blood runestones placed on the dark red ground are desperately absorbing the blood of the ancient black dragon in the soil. The magic runes on the surface of the runestones have very obvious bright blood marks. It seems that the runestones should be released after a while. Seal outside, so as to get the drop of blood essence of the emperor's blood contained in it,
Several consecutive meteorite impacts allowed Ryan to completely determine the direction of the illusion deployed by Laurenkos. Then Ryan launched more and more violent attacks, preparing to defeat the defense set up by the leader of the Ashamai tribe in one fell swoop, and Laurenkos also obviously Noticing this, he watched the meteorites in the sky falling towards his head like a meteor shower, and immediately made a decision to inject all the energy of the artifact in his hand into the defensive barrier around him, so that the illusion barrier concealed his whereabouts. Then it quickly disappeared, allowing Laurencos and the blood runestone not far in front of him to be fully displayed in Ryan's field of vision.
"What is that rose heart-shaped jewelry in his hand?" Ryan saw the jewelry in Laurencos' hand at a glance. The mana fluctuations it emitted were very powerful. Ryan estimated that even if it was not an artifact, it would have extraordinary power. In order to break through the defensive barrier arranged by this jewelry as soon as possible, he asked Amptalo, who had returned to his human form beside him,
"This... this..." Amptalo had never seen his patriarch use a magic item of such a shape, and his family had never heard of the existence of such a powerful magic item. He hesitated for several times. He shouted and didn’t know how to answer Ryan. At the same time, Amptalo suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. As a family deacon for so many years, he actually had too many secrets that he didn’t know. Not only the rose heart-shaped The jewelry, even the bright blood stains on the surface of the blood runestone at this time obviously had uses unknown to him, and it gave Amptalo a vague premonition of the scene that was happening in front of him in his subconscious.
"We must stop him." In the end, Amptalo just shouted such a meaningless sentence. When Ryan heard what he said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Amptalo. He didn't need to remind him about this kind of thing. , Laurencos must continue to complete the task at hand despite being attacked by Ryan. Not to mention that he must be very confident in the changes that will happen to the blood runestones. It seems that he can either restore his own strength or enhance his power. , of course, other possibilities are not ruled out, such as activating the teleportation magic circle to stay away from this place to get rid of the threat of Ryan.
If Ryan uses the indiscriminate attack of Star Collapse at this time, I believe that he can attack the defensive barrier of Clarenkos in the shortest time. Maybe he can stop everything before the Blood Runestone takes the next step. However, once this spell is used As for the attack, even Ryan can no longer control its killing range. In this way, it is very likely that even the blood runestone will be destroyed. After all, Ryan takes a certain risk to stay here for this reason. It would be a pity to destroy something like this, so after a little hesitation, Ryan decided to use the lava hammer to break Laurencos's defense.
Unexpectedly, under the repeated attacks of the lava hammer, although the defensive barrier around Laurencos was shaky, it still held on tenaciously without any signs of collapse. However, this situation that seemed to be under tremendous pressure made Laurenkos was filled with panic. He had reached the last step and could not fail here no matter what. Therefore, Laurenkos recited a short magic spell without hesitation and even removed a piece of the rose ornament in his hand. The petals exploded everywhere, and the magical energy overdrawn in this way re-strengthened the defensive barrier around it, so that it would no longer show any instability due to the impact of the lava hammer.
This move of Laurenkos shocked Ryan slightly. The other party had not hesitated to destroy an artifact to continue to complete the task at hand. It obviously showed that the value of what he was doing was more important than the artifact that could hide from Ryan's perception, so Ryan made a prompt decision. After reciting the magic incantation of the collapse of the stars, compared to the potential threat, even if the jade and the stone were destroyed, he couldn't care less. However, before Ryan's magic was completed, the blood runestone on the ground showed new changes. After absorbing enough black dragon's blood, the countless fresh blood marks on the surface of the runestone finally slowly cracked and turned into countless tiny fragments scattered on the surrounding soil. A drop of bright red blood flew from the inside of the runestone. came out and floated in front of Laurencos,
"Hahahaha, as long as I can fuse the essence and blood of the blood emperor, I can obtain the power of the emperor." Seeing that what he had worked so hard to achieve finally appeared in front of him, Laurenkos couldn't help but shout out, At the same time, Ryan's magic was completed. A dim star flew out of his hand and went straight to the defensive barrier beside Laurenkos. Laurenkos had seen the power of Ryan's star-destroying magic. , but the most important thing right now is to absorb the power contained in that drop of blood, so the leader of the Ashamai tribe did not hesitate to crush all the petals of the rose heart-shaped artifact in his hand, draining out all the power in the artifact. It was released, thus forming an extremely stable magic barrier, and Laurencos himself, with a smile on his face, pounced on the drop of blood of the blood emperor suspended in mid-air,
