After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 166 [Apostle of Joy], career compatibility 100%!

The night breeze dawns on the earth, bringing the unique chill of late autumn.

At the city gate.

The flowing shadow covering this place became more and more turbulent, like a vortex that was about to take shape, and the spiritual pressure contained in it also gradually increased.

However, no matter how the shadow intensified, the young man inside was still not affected in any way, as if the majestic spiritual pressure around him did not exist.

The eyes of the four black knights were extremely solemn.

He could feel that the spiritual pressure he developed really affected Ryan on the opposite side, making his spiritual flow slow and difficult to mobilize.

Logically speaking, normal professionals would fall into negative states such as weakness, trance, and slow movement if they were suppressed in this way.

However, the young man with the big sword opposite seemed to feel nothing and was still strolling towards him.

By the way, a big sword? !

What is the concept of high-level rare objects?

Even fifth-level legendary professionals dare not say that everyone possesses high-level rare items.

And now, a wanted criminal who was supposed to be in danger and whose intelligence was only level two at most, actually produced a high-level rare item? !

Although the collision of the weapons was only for a moment, the four black knights were still keenly aware of the extraordinary nature of the sword.

The pitch black armor worn by the four black knights is called the "Middle Black Knight Armor", which can cooperate with the [Shadow Armor] skill to give it a stronger effect.

But no matter how unbelievable it is, the reality is right in front of us, and there is no room for any argument from the four black knights.

Time passes little by little.

As his thoughts moved, [Happy Frozen Aura] turned on silently,

[Crown's Dragon-Slaying Sword] was inserted into the ground in front of him by Ryan. He crossed his hands and rested on the hilt of the sword. He closed his eyes as if he gave up resistance.

Even if placed in a member state of the Alliance of Nations like Augustus, high-level rare objects can still be called "national treasures", and the only higher-level items can only be called "national sacred artifacts".

In fact, in a battle of the same level, the external release of spiritual pressure has no effect.

The twisted shadow power was like a giant torch that expanded, and then suddenly retracted. When the spiritual fluctuations returned to normal, the four black knights had been put on a transparent black spiritual armor, which was different from the four black knights. The pitch-black armor on the knights seemed to form a channel to some extent, transmitting each other, causing the four black knights to emit more powerful spiritual fluctuations.

The violently flowing shadows formed a different kind of icy wind and swept over them. At this moment, the four black knights no longer held back and entered a true "fighting posture".

Although he was in a critical situation, Ryan's eyes were extremely calm.

What really determines victory or defeat is actual combat power!

——The Black Knight’s fourth-level exclusive ability [Armor of Shadows]: greatly improves the Black Knight’s spirituality, physical fitness, and ability to withstand attacks.

But he doesn't need to tell.

Combined with the majestic force coming from the opponent's sword when they first collided, the four black knights knew that the person walking with the Dark Moon Witch in front of them probably had a physique that could be called a "monster".

He really couldn't tell which of these black phantoms was real and which was fake.

Even with his status and achievements as a four-seat black knight, he has never been rewarded with high-level rare items.

Since spiritual pressure cannot affect Ryan, there is no need to waste spiritual energy on the outside.

The voices of the four black knights were filled with solemnity and disbelief.

Ryan's strange action made the four black knights confused, and they did not dare to take action rashly for a while.

The four-seat black knight took a deep breath. With his movement, the flowing shadows within a hundred meters radius were sucked into the center by the whale and converged on the four-seat black knight.

His figure was like a ghost. As he moved, he left behind a series of empty black phantoms, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake. In just one second, Ryan was surrounded by black phantoms.

The eyes of the four black knights fell on the strange-shaped sword in the opponent's hand.

The eyes under the visor met Ryan's pupils, their eyes intertwined, and the next moment, the black knight's figure disappeared from the place.

"High-level rare objects..."

Ryan can wait like this, but he can't. Turning on [Shadow of Illusion] requires a lot of spiritual energy. If he continues like this, his spiritual energy will be exhausted first.

As Ryan stepped forward and the gap between the two sides got closer and closer, a strong sense of crisis emerged in the hearts of the four black knights.

In a sense, that is no longer a human being.

But in the collision just now, he "heard" the whine of his own sword. In the past, he had "heard" this kind of whine from his opponent's weapon.

Front, back, left, right, and in all directions, fatal blows may occur anytime and anywhere. If the true identities of the four black knights cannot be identified, then Ryan will be extremely passive.

It does not come from spirituality, but another indescribable threat. It is like being in the bloody mouth of a giant beast, and the next moment, blood will be splashed on the spot.

If you use spiritual perception, each of these black phantoms is exactly the same as the real body, and no difference can be seen.

Moreover, at this moment, the four black knights have no time to think too much.

"call……"

"boom!"

Just now, it was the interception of this big sword that caused his blow to kill the black-haired swordsman to be in vain.

The Black Knight's Seat Sword he is holding is carefully forged by royal craftsmen, and its grade has reached the peak of mid-level rare objects.

What an incredible thing.

In the end, it was the four black knights who took the lead and couldn't help but take action.

"boom!"

"Thorn..."

At a certain moment, there was a slight tearing sound in the air, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ryan. The knight's sword covered with shadow fire in his hand stabbed Ryan's temple.

Ryan reacted quickly.

His action of holding the sword, which seemed to give up resistance, had actually already secretly completed the charging of power. The moment the four black knights appeared, his big sword also slashed out with extremely fast speed, not at all as powerful as a big sword. The heavy feeling that a heavy weapon should have.

The big sword collided with the knight's long sword. What is surprising is that the knight's long sword turned into an illusory shadow and was passed directly by the big sword.

At the same time, another figure of the four-seat black knight appeared behind Ryan and swung a silent sword.

The figure just now was just an illusion, and what appeared now was the true body!

Ryan, who had already launched a slashing attack, had no time to turn back and defend himself.

The eyes of the four black knights were full of coldness, and their swords were slashed hard.

However, at the moment when his sword was about to fall, a blood-colored core full of thorns and spikes appeared on Ryan's shoulder out of thin air. The next moment, the blood-colored barrier expanded, blocking his sword.

If that's all, it doesn't matter. It's just a shield-type ability. The four-seat black knight has seen it a lot. The shadow fire attached to his knight's sword has the effect of eroding, softening, and breaking the shield.

What really made the four-seat black knight change his expression was that when his sword fell on the protective shield, an indescribable coldness swept through his body in an instant.

He could feel that his body, mind, and all concepts related to "speed" had declined significantly.

This terrifying phenomenon caused his expression to change drastically.

"caught you."

Ryan's lips curved into a smile.

With the blessing of 54 points of [Spirituality], the "speed" of [Happy Freezing Aura] has been reduced by a terrifying 37%, which is already more than one-third of the total.

This huge speed gap will cause the speed of the four black knights to drop to a terrifying level.

Twisting his waist and stepping forward, Ryan withdrew his sword and drew a beautiful semicircle in mid-air, slashing at the four black knights who had no time to dodge and could only build a shadow shield in front of them.

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering glass continued one after another. The "Shadow Shield" had little protective effect under the blows of the big sword. But after shattering the Shadow Shield, the big sword remained unabated and fell heavily on the On the chest of the four black knights.

"boom!"

Amidst the low roar, the body of the four-seat black knight flew high into the air like a pedestrian hit head-on by a speeding car. Blood was already pouring out from under the visor on his face.

After flying dozens of meters away, the four-seat black knight barely landed. From the corner of his eye, he saw the broken [Shadow Armor] on his chest and the cracked [Middle Black Knight Armor] below. The corner of his eye twitched. .

What kind of monster is this?

A human body transformed from a sea monster? Or a dwarf-sized giant?

The four black knights were confused. Raising his hand to wipe away the blood from his chin, the four black knights' eyes flashed with ferocity.

What happened before him was beyond his expectation.

There was a huge deviation in the work of the kingdom's intelligence department. The wanted criminal in the kingdom, Ryan Leland, who was traveling with the Dark Moon Witch, was not at all as powerful as the intelligence said, with a high probability of only being at level two, or at most, level three.

That was a "humanoid monster" that even he couldn't defeat!

But now that things have come to this, the only thing he can do is to give everything he has!

"Wow..."

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Ryan appeared in front of the four black knights. The sword that had finished charging was slashed from top to bottom. Wherever it passed, the air trembled and whined, and the spirit collapsed and ran away.

But at such a critical moment, the four black knights did not raise their swords to block, but instead raised their left hand that was not holding the sword, and put their index and middle fingers together between their eyebrows.

The next moment, a black ripple expanded.

Wherever the ripples passed, the space was distorted, and the affected Ryan was forced to stay more than ten meters away from the four black knights under the influence of a strong thrust.

This is a cube-shaped pitch-black shadow space, also known as the [Black Cage]. It is an ability that the Black Knight can master after advancing to the second level, specifically to deal with witches and individual strong men.

It is also the iconic ability of the Black Knight profession.

But what outsiders don't know is that although [Black Cage] is only a second-level professional ability, it is an ability that can be strengthened as the Black Knight's career is promoted.

Although this would sacrifice the black knight's career growth, what he gained at the cost was the extremely specialized ability to trap the strong.

Just like now.

Being in the [Fourth Level Black Cage], Ryan could feel that every move he made, even his breathing, had a sense of sluggishness, as if there were countless shadows in the invisible space. Hands clinging to every corner of his body.

Not only that, as time goes by, his [spirituality] is decreasing at a slow rate.

Although the speed is not fast, it cannot be stopped.

"Welcome to my hunting ground..."

Tens of meters away, the bodies of the four black knights were suspended in the air about one meter above the ground, and countless surging shadows gathered towards his body.

At this moment, he is the master of this space, the uncrowned king here, and "imprisoners" like Ryan will be waiting for endless "torture" and "destruction."

Ryan didn't speak, but just took steps and walked step by step in the direction of the four black knights.

In the past, he had seen Freni being pulled into the [Black Cage], and at that time, he could only wait anxiously outside the cage for the final outcome to come.

And now, he has become the one who was pulled into the [Black Cage].

The difference is that now he has the ability to create the ending with his own hands.

Golden flames ignited from Ryan's body, mixing with the blood to form a unique blood-gold color.

This is a sign that he has entered the "third stage".

Seeing Ryan's rapidly rising momentum, the four black knights' eyes narrowed slightly. In the next moment, countless chains composed of shadows and engraved with complicated patterns flew from all directions, trying to lock Ryan in place.

Two "blood cores" appeared on Ryan's shoulders, and the opened blood-filled "blood barrier" blocked the shadow chain.

Each shadow chain falling caused ripples on the surface of the blood barrier, making the color of the "blood core" slightly darker.

Ryan's eyes fell on the four black knights and whispered: "It's time to end..."

As the sound spread, Ryan's body turned into a bloody stream of light and struck in front of the four black knights.

——[Special Sword Skill·Crash Attack (Blade Center)]!

Under the subsonic attack, the invisible shadow hands trying to hinder Ryan's actions broke one after another, and the blood-gold flames tore through the darkness.

The big sword fell, and the four black knights mobilized the power of shadows to construct countless crossed sword blades to resist in front of them, but these shadow blades were ignored by Ryan and allowed to fall on him.

The tougher "Hegemony Blood Film" blessed by "Blade Heart" isolates attacks.

"clang!"

The violent shock caused the visors on the faces of the four black knights to separate and disintegrate, revealing the twisted and ferocious face of a middle-aged man.

"Ahhhh-"

The four black knights roared angrily and tried their best to resist the slashing sword.

Ryan's face was indifferent, and the sword held in both hands exerted force again.

There was a crisp sound of "click".

The knight's sword could no longer bear the weight and broke into two pieces in the middle.

"Thorn-"

The bodies of the four black knights were split into two by the sharp sword. At the same time, the [Black Cage] was shattered, and Ryan returned to the real world.

Hundreds of meters away, shadows flowed backwards, forming the bodies of four black knights.

His face was extremely pale, and there was a deep look of fear in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran with all his strength. He didn't even have time to alert his Black Knight who was stunned by the situation not far away.

From Ryan's fight with the Four Black Knights to now, it seems to be a long time, but in fact, not even a minute has passed.

Even Durand fell into a daze due to the scene before him.

Looking at the four black knights trying to escape, Ryan had no intention of pursuing them.

He raised his hand, the dark gold blood-patterned gloves shimmered with light, and a blood-colored spiral spear appeared in his hand.

He stepped forward, bowed his waist, and after a short period of energy accumulation, the "Spear of Blood" burst out.

The air exploded with layers of air waves. This throw, with the blessing of [Brave Strike] and [Storm Combat Body], has exceeded the speed of sound.

Before the four black knights had time to run far, the "Spear of Blood" arrived first and penetrated his heart with a "pop" sound, leaving a transparent hole from front to back in his left chest. .

The "Spear of Blood" appears weak against the "Crown Monster", but when dealing with humans who have not yet reached the legendary realm, the effect is extremely significant.

The forward momentum of the four black knights came to an abrupt halt. He staggered forward a few steps, and finally fell down helplessly.

"Tap..."

Ryan came to the four black knights lying on the ground, his eyes were cold, and with a sweep of his sword, a head flew up with eyes full of confusion.

At the end of his life, the four black knights still couldn't understand why an ordinary man who had never mastered the forbidden power of "magic" would possess a power that even he could not compete with?

But his question was destined to remain unanswered.

The flower of blood bloomed in the air, which also meant that the fourth seat of the Black Knights, a fourth-level extreme professional, and a powerful black knight with the ability to hunt the fourth-level witch alone, had fallen!

Ryan let out a breath.

To be honest, the battle with the Four Black Knights was much easier than he thought.

Among them, the newly acquired special sword skill [Blade Heart] played a decisive role.

This also makes Ryan pay more and more attention to the ability of sudden attack.

For melee professionals with "short hands", the skill that can quickly "break out" the enemy's face is really useful.

After defeating the four black knights, a prompt on the panel popped up in front of Ryan.
