The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

At the same time.

In the secret realm of Dragon Valley, southwest.

Not far from the Yingyu Pool.

"Chichi!"

A huge one-horned ferocious species that looks like a rhinoceros, with two white air waves rising from its nose, and its front hooves digging the ground, staring at a human swordsman in front of it with a pair of huge eyes like copper bells.

The swordsman was carrying a two-meter-long two-handed sword on his back, wearing a simple linen coat.

The swordsman was Lambert, the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint.

"Ah!!!"

It seemed that the giant rhinoceros ferocious species could not bear the pressure of confrontation.

It roared to the sky, then lowered its head, pointed the dark horn on its forehead at Lambert, and ran wildly with four hooves, rushing quickly!

"Dongdongdong!"

The dull footsteps were like the dense beating of leather drums, and the ground trembled slightly at the same time.

Facing the charge of the giant beast that was like a steam locomotive, Lambert did not move, but smiled.

"Swish!"

Just as the opponent was about to approach him, Lambert, who was standing in front of the giant beast, suddenly became blurred and disappeared from the spot.

A long silver arc of light appeared from the side like lightning.

The silver arc of light instantly passed through the neck of the giant rhinoceros, but the giant beast seemed not to notice it and continued to rush forward for more than ten meters before stopping.

At this time, Lambert's figure slowly appeared on the spot, and he was seen holding the sword diagonally with one hand, with the tip of the sword facing down.

A trace of bright red blood dripped from the blade.

"Pudong!"

A heavy object fell to the ground!

The giant rhinoceros, which was extremely violent just now, had its huge horn head fall off its body.

The huge incision on the neck was as smooth as a mirror.

The spine, blood vessels, bright red muscle texture, etc. are clearly visible.

"Chi!!"

Like a small blood fountain, a large amount of blood gushed out from the aorta at the incision of the body under high pressure!

"Lucky, I got the third freshwater giant rhino so quickly."

Lambert smiled and said to himself.

After he came to the secret realm, he came to obtain the dragon language mark of the adolescent dragon according to the task requirements in the re-examination.

Before entering the secret realm, Lambert had already thought about it.

He inherited from the Tide Sword Saint, so he gave priority to obtaining the dragon language mark of the blue dragon offspring whose talents tended to be water and ice.

And he was lucky. The location after being teleported in was very close to the Lingering Pool.

Because the Lingering Pool happened to be the settlement of some adolescent blue dragons.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, he found a adolescent blue dragon and communicated with it in simple dragon language, and then got this "small task".

The mission requires you to get three freshwater giant rhinos for the other party, and you can get the dragon language mark of a blue dragon offspring.

And the one in front of you is already the third one.

"It seems that these three freshwater giant rhinos are just a family."

Lambert looked at the other two freshwater giant rhinos, one big and one small, lying not far to the left, and thought to himself.

"Well, the family should be neat and tidy."

Just as Lambert was about to take the body back, he suddenly looked up to the northeast.

"This kind of energy fluctuation."

"If I'm not wrong, this should be a relatively rare metal energy particle fluctuation. Eh? Doesn't that mean that Ryan, who I'm looking for, is over there."

Lambert raised his eyebrows and thought of something in an instant.

He had observed Ryan during the initial test of the dragon knight, and naturally remembered that he was good at the relatively rare metal witchcraft.

There is another point.

That is, there is no second metal crystal wizard who came to participate in the secret realm retest this time.

So, if it is not a rare metal creature, then the answer is self-evident.

In the secret realm.

West of the Flame Mountain.

Just as Ryan and the other four were looking at Barnes and the other two.

The three looked at Pierce's body lying on the ground with dull eyes, and then focused their eyes on the two women, and finally stared at Ryan without moving away.

It seemed that they found something very interesting.

And Ryan understood a little in his heart.

Because the message from Tatia on the slice said, 'According to the reminder of the great astrologer Dallion, the void beasts prefer to parasitize creatures with strong physical strength, and among humans, they are more inclined to choose blood descendants. '

Obviously, these three void beasts should regard him as a more delicious dish.

"Who are you?" The army captain Baldwin saw the other party's slightly stiff but extremely fast figure, and his heart was slightly tense for some reason.

But before they could reply, the three of them ignored the others and rushed towards Ryan at a very fast speed.

This made the Erida sisters, who had just become Ryan's followers, feel ignored.

The younger sister Erida flashed and came behind Barnes, and the sharp battle blade immediately pierced from top to bottom like lightning!

But what surprised Erida and everyone was that it was as if it was pierced into cotton, and the attack was almost completely without force.

Because the opponent's figure changed from real to virtual in an instant, from flesh to a translucent energy body like jelly, and at the same time, it was almost immune to Erida's powerful battle blade stab!

"Be careful!"

Seeing the opponent's strange response, sister Erida immediately reminded her, and at the same time, she immediately cast a shadow shield for her sister.

Barnes, who was parasitized by the void beast, turned from virtual to real at this time, and turned around and punched Erida in an instant.

"Bang!"

Erida's reaction was naturally very fast. She blocked with a horizontal blade, but the whole person was knocked back seven or eight meters away.

"This kind of power."

Erida looked at Barnes in front of her, and a trace of fear and doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Because the opponent's power was obviously much higher than before.

"Be careful, the opponent is parasitized by the void beast." At this time, Ryan reminded.

Hearing Ryan's words, Erida and her sister couldn't help but look at the realization.

When they just entered the secret realm, they killed similar giant beasts, but they didn't expect that humans would be parasitized, so they didn't think about it from this angle.

At this time, Erida's witchcraft "Shadow Impact" just hit Reagan among the three.

Although Reagan, after being parasitized, also used 'virtualization' to resist, a charred mark could still be seen on his energized chest.

"Lord Ryan, almost immune to 90% of physical attacks, and at least 60% of witchcraft attacks." Ereda frowned and said.

Ryan nodded.

He was not in a hurry to attack, as Ereda's analysis just now was similar to what he observed.

Although the thin slice contained some key information about the opponent provided by the command hall, it did not explain in detail how to eliminate him, and he still had to rely on his own flexibility on the spot.

However, Ryan did not agree with Ereda's statement that he was immune to more than 90% of physical attacks.

Because

here we need to add a prefix - 'when virtualized. '

when not virtualized, it is not immune.

"Level 1 Talent Magic 'Metal Transfiguration'!"

"Level 2 Magic 'Iron Armor'!"

"Level 3 Talent Magic 'Steel Armor'!"

"Combined Magic: Steel Armor!"

As Ryan quickly chanted the spell, he was covered with a thick armor that shone with dark silver light. Then, in the astonished eyes of the three people, he rushed towards the other party.

"But" Erida thought she didn't make it clear at first, and was about to remind Ryan again that the other party was almost immune to physical attacks.

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

Because she reacted, it was impossible for her master not to hear it, so there was only one result.

Ryan's figure flashed, and he performed the shadow step and immediately came to the side of Reagan who was parasitized.

Seeing Ryan's sudden attack, Reagan's body immediately became virtual and became translucent like jelly.

And Ryan punched out, like hitting a ball of thick fog, passing through the body, but obviously did not cause much damage to it.

But Ryan's punch was ineffective, but he didn't look discouraged at all.

At this time, Reagan suddenly turned around and punched Ryan's abdomen hard. When the translucent fist was about to hit, suddenly, his whole body turned from virtual to real.

"Now!" Ryan narrowed his eyes and punched again like lightning.

Compared with the first punch, his punch this time was obviously more than 50% faster.

The result was that before Reagan's fist hit him, Ryan's fist hit Reagan after he was real.

"Pah!"

Don't forget that Ryan's boxing is also at the top level of mystery, with extremely strong power. This heavy punch contains explosive power, which immediately penetrated Reagan's jaw and went straight through the skull.

The sound of fist and flesh hitting each other was not a normal dull sound, but a very crisp sound of skull-breaking!

Reagan, who was parasitized, had his entire head blown up directly, and red and white were scattered all over the ground.

Reagan's headless body also fell to the ground like noodles.

A transparent jellyfish-like thing screamed and rushed towards Pierce's body in the distance.

But as Ryan pointed, a fine and silver metal net hit it.

"Chi!"

It was immediately crushed.

"This" Erida and Baldwin looked at each other and were stunned for a moment!

How did he do this?

In the distance, Erida, who was also beside Ryan, had her beautiful eyes lit up and immediately understood why Ryan could hit the opponent.

That was because his master Ryan grasped a flaw of the opponent that was not a flaw, that is, the opponent could not be in a virtual state when performing physical attacks.

Otherwise, although he was immune to physical attacks, the physical attacks performed by the opponent would not be effective against people.

However, this momentary opportunity was fleeting, requiring extremely fast reaction and shooting speed.

Elida estimated that she needed to complete the counterattack within 0.1 second.

If it takes more than this time, the opponent will become virtual again to avoid the attack.

When Elida figured this out, she couldn't help but be eager to try.

Perhaps a considerable number of title knights may not be able to do it, but she is different. She is also good at agility and speed.

With a "whoosh", Elida came to the side of Bronson who was parasitized, and the battle blade in her hand danced with a beautiful knife flower, and slashed towards the opponent's waist and abdomen.

However, this time, she also learned Ryan's tactics, and did not use all her strength in the first attack, and slightly controlled the speed.

Sure enough, it was like cutting into the water flow, and did not cause any damage to it.

The next second, Bronson's counterattack began. He turned around and punched her in the abdomen. Just as the fist was about to hit her, suddenly, the opponent turned from virtual to real!

In a flash, Elida's beautiful eyes lit up, and the blade in her hand spun rapidly and accelerated suddenly.

"Chi!"

Bronson was cut in half by her blade, and she was hit by the opponent's fist that penetrated the shadow shield and was knocked back several meters.

Although she was hit once, Elida was happy!

"Lord Ryan's attack method is really effective!" Elida said secretly.

When Ryan saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

"This Elida, what a fast learning ability." Ryan thought.

At the same time, it seemed that because the parasitic body had been cut off, something similar to the previous jellyfish emerged from the top of the opponent's head.

Then, like the previous one, it also quickly crawled towards Pierce's body in the distance.

However, it was destined to fail.

Seeing her sister being hit by a punch, elder sister Aridar was angry and reacted very quickly.

She immediately released a shadow attack towards the opponent, and a black beam of light immediately hit the translucent void beast.

"Chi!"

After leaving the parasitic body, the defense of the void beast itself did not seem to be high.

The void beast that was hit suddenly disappeared into nothingness and turned into a wisp of gray smoke, but everyone could feel an invisible wave that dissipated around the opponent.

After Ryan made a move, the two void beasts were destroyed in just a few seconds.

It seemed that because he saw his companions being killed, the parasitic Barnes suddenly became a little crazy.

He suddenly became a virtual person, and a transparent ripple radiated around him, and all the roots of plants and trees that were touched withered.

Ryan and Aridar dodged the opponent's special ability similar to a halo.

However, Ryan's counterattack came very quickly!

He pointed at the opponent, and it was the liquefied killer move "Metal Cutting Net!", and the Eredar in the distance also released a shadow impact towards Barnes!

As the three metal nets cut through the jelly-like translucent body in turn, even though the Void Beast was immune to most witchcraft damage, it was also seriously injured.

However, Barnes had already rushed towards Ryan regardless.

The next second, his chest suddenly swelled and his neck bulged.

"Huh?"

As Ryan was good at dragon roar, he immediately understood what the opponent was going to do.

He did not retreat but advanced, performing shadow steps and rushing forward, and raised his hand like lightning, hitting Barnes' chin.

The next moment, a transparent beam of light shot up diagonally into the air, and the tall tree in front was suddenly pierced with a big hole, and quickly charred.

But this attack seemed to consume a lot of the opponent's energy. The opponent could not maintain the virtual state and began to turn from virtual to real.

Suddenly, an iron fist hit Barnes' head, and almost at the same time, a war blade slashed into Barnes' head from top to bottom.

The iron fist was naturally Ryan.

And the war blade was Alida, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time.

This made Ryan smile at Alida.

At this time, a jellyfish-like monster that was larger than the previous two emerged from Barnes' head and tried to escape in a panic.

But this was just a beautiful dream.

With a flash of black light, the last void beast was wiped out.

Ryan looked at this scene, thinking.

"It seems that the strength of these void beasts is also high and low"

At the same time.

In the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform in the imperial capital Tamriel.

After watching the battle between Ryan and the three infectors, everyone looked thoughtful.

General Augustus asked first: "Have you recorded the fighting methods and special abilities of the three infectors?"

"All recorded, sir." Tatia nodded and said.

"Very good, let the combat staff analyze the possible weaknesses of the other party immediately, and at the same time, quickly inform other executives in the secret realm to be careful of the dead bodies."

"After killing the enemy, it is best to destroy the bodies."

General Augustus quickly issued two orders.

"Okay, sir."

"By the way, do you think Ryan's handling method just now can be promoted?" Suddenly, Marshal Alfred asked Augustus.

"Well, I think the possibility of promotion is not great, or in other words, only a few people can achieve the level of Sir Ryan." Augustus shook his head and said.

"Because most of the executives are wizards, there are only a few titled knights, and those who can reach the level of Sir Ryan in close combat are even fewer."

Augustus added, saying.

Marshal Alfred nodded and said nothing more.

"Tatia, inform Mr. Ryan about the encirclement and suppression."

Augustus just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Marshal Alfred, who said, "Wait, let me tell you."

This made Augustus stunned.

You know, as the highest commander on the scene, it is almost impossible for the marshal to do it himself and contact every mission executor.

"Okay, Marshal." Tatia, who was standing aside, also had a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Marshal Alfred took the thin slice handed over by Tatia respectfully and said:

"Sir Ryan, I'm Alfred."

When he heard the word 'Sir', General Augustus, who was standing next to Marshal Alfred, raised his eyebrows, and Major General Tatia confirmed some guesses in his heart.

Obviously, Sir Ryan's performance has completely impressed Marshal Alfred.

You should know that there are not many people in the entire empire who can be called Sir by Marshal Alfred, and there are even fewer in the Empire Sword Bearer System.

"Marshal?" Ryan was also slightly surprised when he heard Alfred's voice.

"It's me. Sir Ryan, I have a more difficult task to give you."

"Marshal, please speak." Ryan said with a slight solemnity.

"I think you have seen the message before. The goddess of the underworld has entered the secret realm. Although the other party's purpose is unclear, we can't let the other party move freely in the secret realm."

"In this regard, I have arranged two task teams, the inner guards and the sword bearers, to encircle and suppress. But I am still a little worried, so I hope you can quickly go to support after successfully installing the rift closer."

"Is it to set up the rift closer first, and then go to support?" Ryan confirmed again.

"Yes, try to complete the setting of the rift closer within half an hour. As for the assembly point, I will let Tatia send it to you immediately. Is there any difficulty?"

"No."

After ending the call, Ryan looked up to the north. He was about to fight with the goddess of the underworld Hela again, which made him feel a little excited.

It's not fear, but a faint expectation and excitement.

However, now he has one thing to do.

Baldwin and the Ereda sisters were destroying the corpses, while Ryan came to the Hellfire Improved Golem, took down the last box, and took out the test tube with Barnes' blood essence.

As he dipped his index finger into it, the system prompt sounded again:

[Ding! The host was detected to have touched the special blood essence, and it was found that some of the dragon gene fragments can be absorbed. Yes/No? ]

(Note: After the dragon gene fragment is absorbed, the host's dragon blood concentration can be enhanced.)

"Sure enough, unlike Reagan and Bronson, Barnes, the descendant of the red dragon blood with the second-stage transformation ability, the system uses the word "part" instead of "a small amount."

This made Ryan happy.

"It seems that there is a good chance this time."

Without hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"

However, unlike the last time, after Ryan finished absorbing this time, the system prompt appeared on the screen:

[Congratulations, your mutant dragon blood concentration has been increased to "high"! 】

【Congratulations, with the blessing of bloodline power, you have unlocked the fourth form of the mutant dragon man (dragon beast form)! 】
