Ryan slowly walked from the corridor to the competition venue. This was not his first time here. Four years ago, the Leisi team he belonged to had walked out of this corridor many times to compete. Except for the last one, Ryan They all returned by themselves as winners.
There were quite a lot of people participating in this year's competitive competition, but with the Imperial City using a large number of separate venues, the knockout rounds went quite smoothly. Only ten days later, 64 players including Ryan stood out and entered the finals. After a new round of drawing lots, all the opponents of the game have been determined. Ryan actually became No. 1 and the first to compete. And coincidentally, his opponent had a date with Vivian. Angelo, a member of the Royal Knights,
For such a new holy knight, Ryan also had expectations in his heart. At first, Christina was just a trainee knight, but she showed great resilience. Her tenacity and desire for victory made her opponent Ryan He is also very respected, and Angelo's power should be greater than that of Cristina at that time. After all, he is already a true holy knight. Although he has only received God's blessing not long ago,
As for the fight between Vivian and Angelo, Ryan didn't take it seriously. As long as they didn't pay too much of a price, Ryan even encouraged Vivian and the others to have such a battle, even if they lost the game in the end. Bringing yourself a wealth of experience is the real purpose of this kind of competition, not for the so-called honor.
When Ryan stepped into the Royal Arena, the noisy voices of the audience outside the arena also weakened to a minimum. Countless pairs of eyes turned to the young and powerful mage from Cassano. , Duojin, and the youngest magician in the history of the empire, shrouding Ryan, whose pseudonym is Fabia, are countless halos that can attract girls to scream. Coupled with the operations behind Faras and others, Ryan has become A popular figure in the imperial capital,
Angelo, who was standing opposite Ryan, was both envious and jealous of Ryan. He always believed that in this country, only the great holy knights were the real protagonists, but the foreign guy opposite him stole his limelight. Not only that. , Angelo's fight with his opponent's subordinate Vivian was also forcibly suppressed by his captain. How could the young and energetic Angelo endure it
"Hmph, since I can't teach that arrogant woman of yours a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson directly." Angelo looked at Ryan angrily and said: "Magister Fabia, stop joking, in such a narrow venue , you will understand how terrifying the Holy Knight is."
"Now the two sides in this game are Magister Fabia from Cassano and Knight Angelo of the Royal Knights of the Imperial Capital. I declare that the game has begun." With this order, the magic shrouded the playing field The defensive shield flashed for a few times and then disappeared without a trace. Both sides of the match could directly attack their opponents.
Angelo did not immediately rush forward to besiege Ryan, but stuck the two-handed giant sword upside down on the ground, and then he half-knelt and began to pray. Along with the secret prayer, Angelo A mysterious magic circle also appeared under Luo's feet. The main body of the entire magic circle was two five-pointed stars superimposed together, plus some strange symbols around it that looked like some kind of characters. These strange symbols appeared from It has been flashing non-stop since the beginning, causing Angelo's body to be slowly enveloped in a golden halo.
Ryan rubbed his nose gently. He was really surprised by Angelo's behavior. In fact, if Ryan attacked with all his strength now, Angelo would die without even a bit of scum left. However, Ryan had some concerns in his heart. , it was his defeat of Christina's Royal Knights team that cast a shadow over the Royal Knights' invincible honor. The subsequent chaos on the mainland also had a lot to do with Ryan's victory.
So Ryan chose to wait. On the one hand, he did not want the manpower sent by the Royal Knights to lose too quickly. On the other hand, he also wanted to know how strong the Royal Knights four years later would be compared to Christina and others back then. What kind of improvement, Ryan's idea also gave Angelo enough prayer time to complete the entire ceremony,
"Huh." With a wind-like whistling, the magic circle under Angelo's feet had been completely formed, and his body was completely wrapped in a golden layer. He stood up and pulled out the giant sword with both hands. , raised this heavy weapon to the sky with just one hand,
"Honor is my life." Angelo shouted loudly the slogan of the Royal Knights before launching a charge. His body also followed this horn-like command and ran towards Ryan at high speed. What was surprising was that , while Angelo's body was moving rapidly, the magic circle that was originally under his feet was also moving with him, so that Angelo himself would not lose the blessing of this magic circle because his body left the magic circle.
"Ah, it actually represents the heroic and fanatical aura." Christina stood in the aristocratic box blurted out, while Queen Catherine, who was sitting on a chair leisurely tasting Bordeaux, was indifferent to this. She was more concerned about which Fabian How does the sub-mage deal with such a situation
Ryan, who stood majestically in the field, did not show any fear at Angelo's menacing attack. He just watched Angelo flying towards him at full speed, and then watched Angelo helplessly. Holding the sword in both hands, he leaped up high and struck at Ryan with all his strength without mercy.
"Kill." Angelo's blow directly split Ryan's body into two pieces. After he succeeded in the blow, he did not stop the offensive. Instead, he dragged his giant sword with both hands and changed the downward strike to a left and right sweep, continuously It cut through Ryan's chest, waist and other parts, dividing the entire Ryan's body into more than a dozen pieces.
It wasn't until this step that Angelo realized that something was wrong, because his hands felt no force at all. Don't cut the human body with a two-handed giant sword, even if he was cutting a wooden stake, he would be shaken by the movement. But Angelo didn't feel these feelings at all, as if what he had just chopped was not a person, but the air.
"Angelo has been blinded by desire, and he lost." Orlando, who was sitting in another noble box, said calmly: "This is not the gap in strength between the opponents, but his own problem. All the fallen Holy Knight, the first step is to lose his heart like him. Maybe after the game is over, I should... "
Before Orlando could finish talking about these flowers, something happened in the center of the playing field. Several flaming walls of fire rose up from the ground, directly surrounding Angelo in the center, even though they were still five or six meters away. But Angelo still felt the heat emanating from the wall of fire, which was hot enough to melt steel.
"Is it an illusion? I didn't see the magician casting a spell." Angelo was slightly startled, and then he hit a wall of fire with his sword without hesitation. No matter whether what he saw in front of him was an illusion or not, Angelo has full confidence in the spiritual energy he obtained through prayer. He does not believe that there is any power in this world that can prevent God's favor.
However, Angelo instinctively let the two-handed giant sword enter the wall of fire first, and the fact in front of him also shocked Angelo. He watched helplessly as the part of the two-handed giant sword that entered the wall of fire melted in an instant. , and a hot heat was transmitted directly to his hand along the blade of the giant sword,
"Ah." Angelo let out a painful cry, and his hands had to let go of the two-handed giant sword because they could not bear the high temperature. When the two-handed giant sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, An Qiluo Only then did Qi Luo realize that only a small part of his beloved weapon, which was almost as long as a man, was left.
"Damn it." Angelo cursed fiercely. He knelt on the ground again and began to pray to the gods he believed in. He wanted to pray for other spiritual energy to resist the walls of fire that surrounded him. , along with Angelo's prayer, the golden halo on his body slowly disappeared, replaced by a layer of red light. At the same time, the magic circle under Angelo's feet also discovered Changes, another pattern faintly appeared,
The magic circle that appeared under Angelo's feet was made up of more than a dozen irregular circles. However, there were still many difficult-to-recognize characters around the final complex figure. When these characters and symbols were accompanied by those unfamiliar When the regular circle began to rotate, the red light on Angelo's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and Angelo directly passed through the wall of fire under the protection of this light,
Ryan was quite surprised by Angelo's performance. This was the first time he saw someone forcefully pass through his flame prison without getting hurt. This was obviously the result of the magic circle at Angelo's feet, but it is said that this kind of passage There is another way of saying that the magic circle that is given by God through prayer is called "spiritual energy".
"Go to hell." Angelo broke through the shackles of the wall of fire and saw Ryan standing leisurely next to him. He was so angry that he didn't care about the prohibition that killing his opponent would automatically disqualify him from the competition, and waved his hand directly. Both hands rushed towards Ryan. In Angelo's view, even if he had no weapons, he could still firmly restrain the fragile-looking magician in front of him as long as he fought at close range.
But just when Angelo was only one step away from Ryan, and it seemed that with a little more force he could push Ryan to the ground and give him a severe lesson, one of his skin seemed to be wrapped in the flesh of a decades-old tree. The bark-like fist was aimed at Angelo's head from the side. If Angelo continued to attack Ryan, his head would be hit first by this fist that came out of nowhere. , in desperation, he just stepped hard on the ground and used the force to change the direction of his body, and managed to avoid the blow.
After Angelo stood still, he turned to look at the strange fist owner, and saw a huge humanoid figure 2 meters tall, made entirely of soil. The entire giant humanoid shape was covered with a thick layer of armor. It seems to have been blessed with a lot of "Stoneskin Technique". Needless to say, this must have been summoned by Ryan. It is known as the earth element giant with the strongest defense among the four elemental giants.
