Chapter 337 The Sealed Artifact of Odessa ([-])

After reviewing the incident, most of the high-level transcendents in Odessa believed that the Byelan knight who destroyed the Advent Ceremony possessed some kind of evil and chaotic mysterious power, which was almost invisible to the wizard's observation methods.

Further investigation revealed that the Knights of Ravenel had killed Warlord Mangulus during the battle at Berrimion's Ferry.The extraordinary characteristic of the warlord is the "Desolate" path that has great restraint on magic, and has been promoted to a high position in Sequence 5.The whereabouts of this precious feature is unknown!
That's right, Griffith de Ravenel is a Transcendent of the "Desolation" path, and may even be the "Desolation Knight" of Sequence 5!There must be a clear answer to this question, and this gap in rank means a qualitative change in combat effectiveness.

Many wizards think that Griffith is Sequence 5, and it is assumed in the battle plan that he shamelessly hides the information that he is the Lord of Sequence 5.

One of the main persons in charge of this operation, Professor Lafayette also raised his own doubts in the discussion within the college, and the arguments are also very sufficient-Griffith is only 19 years old, and the eve of the Battle of the Neck is at most a sequence 7. How did you get promoted to Sequence 5 in such a short period of time?To cross two major ranks in such a short period of time and become the highest transcendent person under the demigod, the way to advance is the "barren" way that is dangerous and unpredictable among the many secrets. Haven't become a monster because of being out of control...

is it possible! ?
As soon as this point of view was raised, the knowledgeable Professor Julian immediately pointed out the omission - Griffith was not an ordinary knight, and he had too close contacts with the fallen Canaan consul family.Miss Villanoy, the sole legal heir of the famous Elf family, has an incomprehensibly close relationship with him, and even called him to her side in August, the eve of the Canaan incident.

It is so, it is so!

As one of the three members of the leadership team for this operation, Plunus felt that he had touched the truth——

From the very beginning, the Knights of Ravenel were guard knights carefully selected by the Canaan side for the Consul's daughter, and possessed the power to defend and protect the Villanoi bloodline in the coming chaos.This is not without precedent.There is a similar experience in the adventures of the legendary brave Roland.

Griffith de Ravenelle was destined to be different!He may even have been a fighter of the "Desolation" path from the very beginning, behind a certain unspeakable majesty!In this way, it is understandable that he can occupy the high position of the Lord at a young age.

"Then, which His Majesty will it be?"

At this time, someone raised a question out of nowhere.Plunus' first reaction was to scold, how can mortals guess the plans of the gods.However, after thinking about it, he realized again, isn't this obvious?

"Desolation" is not a power of law and justice, and it does not belong to the authority of the seven majesties who rule the world.Only, only...

Yes, but all wizards who have reached the extraordinary realm have more or less heard of a certain existence in the virtual realm, and are shocked by the desolate and desperate atmosphere-he will bestow powerful power and teach barren and hungry knowledge ; will shape desire into a weapon powerful enough to defeat any foe.

"This is terrible!" Plunus, who thought he knew the truth, screamed like a frightened little girl in his classroom, "The noble plan that His Majesty the Good Lord wanted to come to the world was unexpectedly destroyed by the Devourer in the void. Have you been eyeing it! It turned out to be opposed by such a master of the virtual realm! Then, what is the attitude of the other two of the virtual realm, the wise master and the hidden master?!"

Those distant ancient gods, they are so powerful and terrifying that a careless lie may call their attention and destruction.

Don't name it!

The life weave, Gusha, creator and dream god of the virtual world are respectively called the good master, the manifest master, the hermit master and the wise master of the virtual realm in the world.

Ghou Sha, who is in charge of the barrenness, is called the "Show Lord" because his servants have always been active in the real world.Many of the most vicious thugs are Dread Knights.This terrifying information has been circulated for a long time.

"Shen Yan, my friend, where have all your thinking and calmness gone?"

Seeing his companion lose his composure, Lord Julian said in a deep voice: "Possessing the power of desolation does not mean that he is a favored person of His Majesty the Lord. In my opinion, Griffith de Ravenel just borrowed This mystery. Behind him is another existence."

"Who—!" Plunus and Professor Lafayette exclaimed together.As for the other Beyonders participating in the meeting, they could only widen their eyes and listen to the teachings without daring to breathe.

Such sublime mysteries are sacrilegious to hear even with the ear!But how curious...

"Have you forgotten who is behind Villanoy?" Julian looked around and found that the wisest comrade already had an answer in his heart, so he whispered,

"That's the Queen of Silver Moon and Starry Sky. Would the heir of the Villanoy family meet an ordinary knight by chance? Would he become friends with an evil and terrifying knight?"

"hiss!"

Everyone present gasped.

Griffith is a bastard who has been favored by the goddess, uses the evil desolation trait, and hides as the holy knight of the goddess of water.He has received so much favor, the Goddess must have selected for him the most suitable characteristics for combat.

The good, manifest, wise, and hidden masters of the void do not rule the world, and the power they can project is limited.However, because of this, the Beyonders under the mysterious path controlled by these four beings are less restrained, and their strength and abilities are even more unknown.As long as you can resist their pollution, you can get amazing rewards.

It's no wonder that the strong men in Odessa were caught off guard by him!

……

Having learned the lessons of the fallen powerhouses, Plunus' fighting spirit and confidence have been enhanced.With clues and resilience, he's confident he can find his way to victory in the dark wilderness.

The path of desolation can absorb psionic energy or magic power within a certain range, devour the enemy's buff state, and transform them into its own terrifying lethality. It is a mysterious existence with great restraint on the caster.

However, it takes time for their abilities to activate, and they are also subject to the public cooling time that all abilities are limited. It is impossible to activate them continuously, and it is impossible to continuously destroy the wizard's magic configuration.In other words, as long as the magic power of the caster is strong enough to make his magic output greater than the desolation knight's suction, he can still complete the spell; It can also achieve the effect by activating new abilities within.

The Desolation Knight cannot use other abilities while devouring the mystery.As long as there is a gap of every second, the Extraordinary in charge of the three sealed items will tear his body apart, and then accumulate advantages little by little, completely destroying him!

Plunus has a unique talent, with 20% more magic capacity than many extraordinary wizards.Over the years, much of his research and training revolved around how to increase the endurance of spellcasting.This ability has repeatedly turned the situation around for him at critical moments.

With the assistance of three Sequence 7 Extraordinary who are in charge of sealed items, he will not be disturbed by other people's spiritual energy, and he can also give full play to the advantages of his own magic capacity.

Plunus thinks he has found a countermeasure against the Desolate Knights!
However, at this moment...

The powerful psychic signal of the Byelan knight suddenly disappeared from his perception.Plunus growled in surprise:
"Why is it gone again?"

……

The psionic invisibility possessed by Griffith after he was promoted to a war knight shielded the perception of magic, divination, and prophecy, weakening the enemy's reconnaissance methods to the extent that they could only rely on sight and hearing.

For observers such as spellcasters and rangers who control the overall situation of the battlefield, the war knight blindfolded them, as if they were invisible.

However, this is not the real strength of the war knight.This Extraordinary characteristic is not the only one with the ability to hide. Assassins, druids, and extraordinary people of the dream path also have the ability to hide in various senses. However, they cannot occupy an overwhelming advantage in the battle against spellcasters.

The fundamental gap lies in battlefield awareness and means of attack.Invisibility is not infinite, as long as the observer gets close to a certain extent, there is always a way for the observer to find a clue of the hidden.

In the stage of the lawbreaker, Griffith's physique and strength have been improved to a level beyond that of ordinary people. He has amazing endurance and recovery power. A full blow can break rocks. The ultimate sprint is as fast as a gust of wind. Almost all weapons can Skillfully mastered.

However, even so, he is still not Erza's opponent.Even after he was promoted to Transcendence, he was beaten all over the place by the unarmed Erusa when he was fully armed—couldn't keep up, couldn't catch, couldn't hit, couldn't defend.What he lacks is precision, perception, and agility, which are equally important as strength and speed, and is the means to make full use of his own power.

Griffith's real strength is not fighting alone, but lies in his battlefield awareness and high mobility, capturing the energy and position of the most threatening enemy in the army, relying on super-level riding skills and agility, in a very short time After completing the acceleration, he entered the high-speed field where light and shadow intersect.

He didn't go straight to the target, but swept across the battlefield, interspersed with the wandering cover cavalry and Extraordinary's air strikes, and went straight to the caster's back before everyone noticed.

Griffith's mobility and skill in hand-to-hand combat cannot ensure the suppression of certain melee transcendents.But once in high-speed maneuvers, it was his world.He can accelerate and decelerate at will, detour in a wide range, capture the enemy's weakness, and launch an attack according to his own wishes.

The emergence of war knights changed the thinking of war.Without understanding the nature of the enemy, the familiar tactics and tight defense network of the wizards have long since failed, and the carefully planned conception looks like a joke.

"The field expands."

Griffith was surrounded by red light, forming a water drop-like shield, weakening the wind resistance.

The moment he crossed the Odessa line and appeared behind Plunus, all the enemies were unaware.

The three sealed item holders who were fanning out nearby acted according to the psychic signal guided by Plunus, but they didn't find the target, not even a human figure.

"Lord Plunus, please show us the enemy's position!"

Anton, the most vigilant demon hunter, realized something was wrong and immediately shouted.But there was only a loud rustling in the echo crystal.

Just like in Odessa, our communications have been disrupted!The witcher was about to exclaim when he suddenly heard a loud noise from behind.

Plunus watched his body become as red as a torch, and a bloody figure passed by his side, taking away a large piece of scorched flesh and blood.Only then did he hear the whistling of the strong wind and sharp blades piercing the air.

Before he could even scream, he was swallowed by the strong light.

"boom!"

A glaring light illuminated the battlefield, and the teeth of the Odessa wizards in the distance trembled along with the ground.
