After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 188 Taking office, [Greedy Monarch]

Ryan has been thinking about a question all this time.

Compared with the conventional route, the "original sin route", which is a hidden route, has more difficult employment conditions. Are there any fundamental differences?
This question may seem unimportant, but in fact it will profoundly affect his career path.

But now, he has begun to feel it.

Comparing the original sin path and the pirate path, it can be clearly seen that the former tends to be idealistic, while the latter tends to be materialistic.

It seems a bit general to say this, but figuratively speaking, the employment requirements of the pirate path require you to make it clearly, while the original sin path requires you to think from the bottom of your heart, that is, it does not require the approval of others.

This point is not so obvious at the first and second levels, but when promoted to the third level, it shows a strong difference.

Of course, idealism is not arbitrary.

In this world, it is easy to deceive others, but it is the most difficult to deceive one's own heart.

A bright blue light flowed in Ryan's eyes, and before the third-level promotion ceremony was about to begin, he took out a dark crystal.

-

This state has a very high priority and cannot be removed unless the user's "purification" ability exceeds the third level. Even if it is removed, it will cause a "greedy gnawing" on the enemy, which will forcibly reduce all its attributes by 10% and last for S seconds.

This is, [Immortal Crystal].

-

As a monarch, how can you not have a throne? When greed is satisfied, a throne of satisfaction can be built.

ps: "Life" and "immortality" cannot be equated. The seemingly infinite resurrection actually has a price.

A [Hand of Greed] composed of greedy spirituality grasps the enemy in its palm and imposes a "Mark of Greed" for S seconds. When "Mark of Greed" takes effect, all attributes of the enemy are immediately reduced by (S/10)%, and all attributes of the Greedy Monarch are immediately increased by (S/10)%.

After successfully building the Throne of Satisfaction, you can try to advance in rank.

[Physique]: 105.66 → 115.66 (115.66, over 100, has exceeded the [Tide of Pain] blessing limit)

-

I long for something more than what I have, so my heart and mind move to seize what the enemy has.

Subsequently, the enemy's all attributes continued to decrease, down to (S/5)% at the lowest, while the greedy monarch's all attributes increased by the same proportion, up to (S/5)%.

[[Spiritual] upper limit +30.0! Current [Spirituality]: 60.0]

[Professional bonus: Spirituality +10.0, Physical +10.0]

3. [Ghoul Banquet]:

[Road Career]:
Level 100: Gluttonous Hunter (100%), Pirate (%)

[Age]: 18 years old

[[Apostle of Joy (Level 2)] was promoted to [Lord of Greed (Level 3)]! 】

-

Without hesitation, Ryan threw the [Immortal Crystal (Refined)] into his mouth.

（S的数值取决于使用者的位阶和灵性，具体换算公式为位阶*10+灵性*1，例如，而三阶、灵性为60的贪婪君主，S的值为3*10+60*1=90）。

The Greedy Monarch can actively activate [Grudge Banquet] to enter the "Aegis of Original Sin" state. During this period, he cannot be selected or attacked for S/30 seconds, and all enemies on the field who have the "Mark of Greed" A large amount of vitality and spirituality will be taken away from them to replenish the vitality and spirituality lost by the greedy monarch.

Every time an enemy with the "Mark of Greed" is defeated, the professional compatibility will be improved. The specific value depends on the strength of the enemy (according to the current strength of the Greedy Monarch, the minimum must not be lower than level four.)
For every 25% of the Satisfaction Throne built, you will receive a throne reward.

After killing the deep sea diver, without Ryan noticing, the power of the escaped authority was integrated into the crystal, helping it complete its refining.

Come on, this is a feast for greedy ghouls!

-

Powerful power surged within his body, and Ryan's pupils glowed with bright blue.

That is one of the original sins, the representative color of its name [Greed].

Outside the invincible shield, Leader Tianqing's expression was slightly moved, but then he regained his ferocious look: "So what if he was promoted to the third level? But the spirituality of the fourth level limit is no different from an ant in my eyes."

The upper limit of the spirituality of a fourth-level professional is 100. Although Ryan's [Spirituality] has improved a lot after being promoted to the third level, the upper limit of the blessing of [Tide of Pain] is only 100. Therefore, his current [Spirituality] is only 100, unable to Arriving at the fifth level realm.

The duration of the invincible shield was coming to an end, and tiny ripples appeared. Ryan raised his head slightly, his eyes indifferent: "It's enough to defeat you."

"Ah……"

Leader Tian Qing sneered, and blood surged on the Bone Abyss sword in his hand.

When the shield disappeared, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out, followed by countless bloody wind blades, dragging out three huge bloody ring blades, upper, middle and lower.

The power of this move is no less powerful than the previous 100-meter bloody blade strike that dropped from the sky.

But this time, Ryan did not choose to dodge.

Bright blue light bloomed in his eyes, and a bright blue energy giant hand that was more than ten meters long and looked like glass suddenly appeared, grabbing Tian Qing's head tightly.

——[Hand of Greed]

The release and hit of [Hand of Greed] happened almost at the same time. When Leader Tianqing saw [Hand of Greed], he was already grasped by it.

The sudden attack made Leader Tianqing's heart skip a beat, but before he could break free, the giant hand of bright blue energy dissipated on its own, and it never appeared again, which was confusing.

The first thought of the leader Tianqing, who has rich combat experience, is to scan his body and true spirit with his spirituality, and at the same time forcibly stop the sword energy that is being slashed out - this kind of inexplicable and seemingly harmless attack is often used as a Fatal, it may be some kind of anti-injury curse, or a fate-same curse.

But this inspection made Leader Tianqing's doubts deepen.

No, nothing!

In his spiritual perception, his physical body and true spirit are extremely normal.

Could it be that the bright blue energy giant hand just now was really just a cover? A feint to scare him?

This speculation came to mind, but the next moment, Leader Tianqing's expression changed.

His momentum and spiritual fluctuations suddenly dropped, and continued to decline as time went by. No matter how he mobilized the legendary spiritual resistance, it was of no avail.

It’s the bright blue energy giant hand just now!

Leader Tianqing was shocked and angry. Looking at the swordsman wearing a purple mask not far away, a hint of uneasiness suddenly emerged in his heart.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

In his hundreds of years of life, Leader Tianqing thought he knew most of the professional abilities of the Twelve Paths, but he had never even heard of such weird abilities, let alone seeing them.

With a third-level body, he casts a "curse" that surpasses his two major levels and cannot be resisted by even legends...

Who is the person in front of me? !

On the other side, Ryan felt the power emerging and getting stronger in his body, and the momentum around him further surged.

With the blessing of [Hand of Greed], his [Spiritual] and [Physical] further improved, both crossing the 100-point mark, officially entering the realm of "Legendary".

Although it is only the lowest level "legend", which is what the world calls "weak legend", it is not something that fourth-level professionals can match.

Feeling the falling power in his body, leader Tianqing's eyes flashed with a stern look.

If he continues to fall like this, he will almost fall out of the realm of "Senior Legend". There is only one plan for now, and that is to solve the source of the curse, the weird one named "Purple Wind", before he falls. Swordsman! With this thought in mind, Tian Qing leader moved.

His body disappeared instantly, and a line of blood cut through the sky. In an instant, he arrived in front of Ryan.

The long sword of the bone abyss slashed horizontally, and the layers of bloody long sword phantoms overlapped on the blade as the long sword was swung, causing the power of its slashing to increase step by step during the swing.

It looks like an ordinary sword, but it is actually very powerful. It is the strongest blow so far in the battle!
Leader Tianqing, who has fought against Zifeng, knows very well that Ryan has some kind of insurmountable ability to retaliate, and once he is attacked a certain number of times, a terrifying burst of damage will occur.

In this case, tentative attacks are meaningless, and will injure oneself instead. Facing this kind of enemy, one must complete the battle in one blow. Every blow is a powerful slash. Holding a sword and The mentality of getting it over with!
The strong sense of crisis in his heart made Ryan aware of the terrifying power of this sword, but his eyes were still not cold, and he just calmly raised his sword to block.

Under the influence of [Hand of Greed], all attributes of Leader Azure were reduced, while all attributes of Ryan were increased, with one decrease and one increase. In his eyes, Leader Azure's slash was still astonishingly fast, but it was no longer the same. It's no longer like before where I can't even react.

Ryan's movement of raising his sword to try to block was reflected in his eyes. A trace of ridicule flashed deep in Leader Tianqing's eyes, and then he exerted further force on the Bone Abyss sword in his hand.

The bloody sword slashed down, but when it touched the big sword, it missed the target.

A look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the leader Tianqing, but when he saw Zifeng in front of him, his body, weapons, armor, etc. all turned into a semi-illusory bright blue.

Not a ghost?

At the same time that the long sword of Bone Abyss failed, Leader Tianqing felt a sudden pain in his body, and then his vitality and spirituality plummeted at the same time.

"Damn it!"

Leader Tian Qing's face was extremely ugly, and he slashed with the sword one after another, but still failed. It was as if Zifeng in front of him was in a different space from him, visible but unable to touch.

What the hell kind of ability is this?

The power in his body was still being lost, causing Azure Leader to fall into the realm of "senior legend". Fortunately, at this time, the feeling of loss of power stopped.

Leader Tian Qing pulled back and raised the long sword of Muyuan in his hand, and began to accumulate power.

He judged that the "invincible skill" currently used by Zifeng must have a time limit. Instead of wasting energy on attacking, it is better to accumulate power and wait until Zifeng exits the "invincible state" before unleashing the strongest blow.

On the other side, Ryan was immersed in a wonder he had never felt before.

The "unable to be selected and unable to attack" feature of [Ghou Yan] was even more magical than he imagined. It was different from being invincible. It was more like pulling his whole body into a different dimension from the current world, thus preventing him from being harmed.

Not only that, the connection derived from the "Greed Seal" allows him to supplement himself by grabbing the vitality and spirituality of the Azure Leader even in this special dimension.

What surprises Ryan even more is that in this special dimension, he can accumulate power as he wishes.

It can be said that [Ghoul Banquet] is a magical skill that combines invincibility, recovery, and creation of attack opportunities!

The big sword was raised and placed on his shoulder, and Ryan gathered his strength on the spot.

Thanks to the protection of [Ghoul Banquet], Leader Tianqing was unable to affect his energy storage at all.

In the special dimension, Ryan was charging up his sword, but in the real world, Leader Tianqing held his sword high and was also charging up. The scene fell into a weird and tense atmosphere.

"Thum~thum~thum-thum!"

Without anyone's influence, Ryan's sword charges very quickly, and the "three-stage charge" is connected to the "true charge" in one go.

After completing the "true charge", Ryan's movements did not stop, but further accumulated power.

He has already inherited the third sword skill of Storm Swordsmanship - Splitting God, but he has been unable to use it at all because the basic attributes are not up to standard.

Now, with the promotion of his class, and with the blessing of skills, his [Spiritual] and [Physical] have finally reached the minimum requirement of 100 points, and he can try to use this powerful sword skill.

The already extremely condensed spirituality and strength began to be further compressed in the body, and the entire body, like a furnace with ultra-high pressure, began to emit rich white steam.

Time passed, ripples rippled, and the [Ghoul Banquet] time ended. Ryan's body returned to the living world, and the Azure leader, who had been preparing for a long time, slashed the long sword in his hand from top to bottom without hesitation.

A hundred meters of blood-colored circular sword energy split the earth, as if it was about to split the space into two. The extremely sharp sword energy formed criss-crossing sword marks on the surrounding ruins.

"Ding--"

With a light bell, and accompanied by invisible ripples that spread to hundreds of meters in radius, Ryan slowly raised his head. At this moment, time seemed to freeze in his eyes.

In his perception, the powerful sword energy struck by the leader Tian Qing was like a slow-playing movie, passing by frame by frame.

Compression, compression, compression again, finally reaching the limit, entering a new realm.

"what!"

Ryan shouted loudly, and the "transparent field" covering hundreds of meters around him began to shrink.

Every time the domain shrinks, the uncovered area returns to its original "dynamics". When the domain is completely condensed on Ryan's body, the outside world returns to normal.

The highly concentrated spirituality caused Ryan's body surface to ignite with blue flames, just like the leader's figure he saw in the [Inheritance Crystal] in the past.

The big sword slashed out, and the dazzling green light bloomed together, mixed with blue and blood.

During this process, the intense green light extended on the sword, gradually forming a shocking giant sword with a length of more than a hundred meters and growing in size, while blue flames and blood flames jumped on the sword. , like a dancing fire dragon.

The hundred-meter-long bloody ring blade split into two under the strike of the giant blue sword. The shock wave carried countless gravel and set off a billowing tide of dust. The giant sword of green light moved forward, and finally reached a height of three hundred meters. And he slashed hard on the leader Tianqing.

The sky-shattering giant sword was reflected in his pupils. Leader Tianqing's eyes showed a complex look of confusion, shock and fear. He roared unwillingly, holding the Bone Abyss sword tightly with both hands, and raised it in an attempt to resist.

However, the power of this sword far exceeded his expectations.

"Boom!"

The earth shook, and the green light replaced the moonlight at this moment, becoming the only color on Tianqing Island.

Lost for hundreds of years, the legendary swordsmanship by which the first king Augustus unified the kingdom has reappeared in the world today!
The green light dimmed with the passage of time. In the center of the battlefield, there were no ruins anymore, only a terrifying chasm that stretched back thousands of meters and was unknown how deep!
"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Ryan was half kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.

At this moment, his physical strength and spirituality were all gone. His physical strength was rapidly recovering under the influence of special skills, but his spirituality did not have the same treatment.

The depleted spirituality made Ryan's spirit extremely tired, and there was a faint double image in the vision before his eyes.

The power of the third sword skill of Storm Swordsman - Split God, even Ryan, as the user, was extremely shocked.

Of course, while it is powerful, the price is also extremely high.

The use of the third sword skill of Storm Swordsmanship - Split God, in addition to draining Ryan's physical strength and spirituality, also requires the power of the storm traveling between heaven and earth. This means that with this move, Ryan can only Can be used once.

As a swordsmanship that can only be used by legendary professionals, the "Storm Power" required for "Split God" to be used actually requires the cooperation of the legendary field to display the maximum power and the possibility of multiple uses.

Although Ryan was lucky enough to use it this time, at best, it was just a beggar's version.

"Whirring whirring……"

The bloody wind was flowing, and under Yu Lian's gaze, countless blood droplets quickly gathered together above the chasm cut by the blue giant sword, forming a human-shaped body.

"...How could I...lose?"

"...I possess part of the power of Poseidon...I can be resurrected unlimited times..."

"...Can you kill me once...can you kill me countless times..."

Overlapping together, the sound of tens of thousands of people shouting together resounded through the sky.

The aggregated flesh and blood twisted and squirmed, forming the ferocious and terrifying face of the Azure leader.

Ryan stood up with his big sword. Looking at the leader Tianqing who had recovered his body, he just whispered indifferently: "Explode!"

Purple light spreads on the flesh and blood body, and a dazzling brilliance explodes.

The newly condensed body of the Azure leader exploded again, but under the influence of an invisible force, it gathered together in an attempt to continue resurrecting.

"...I am... an immortal... immortal... god!"

The roar of the leader of Tianqing swept all directions.

At this time, a shadow holding a scythe and wearing a ragged hooded robe appeared behind his reassembled body.

As Ryan advanced to the third level, the image of the master of the sickle blade had undergone some subtle changes, and it seemed that he had become more agile.

The sickle blade wrapped in gray light flashed past the leader Tianqing, and then the sickle blade disappeared together with its owner.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Leader Tianqing's voice stopped abruptly. He lowered his head blankly and looked at his chest.

Unknowingly, his flesh and blood body turned into a translucent color, and the dark "God's Heart" emerged from it, and the cracks on the surface of the "God's Heart" were also clearly visible.

"No... no... I have clearly gained the authority of the gods... I have clearly possessed a body full of vitality..."

"...The realm of demigods has no threshold in my eyes...I will eventually ascend to this supreme realm...and step into the realm of gods..."

"...a mere third-level person...I...I..."

"...I'm not willing...what..."

Silently, the Heart of God shattered into countless points of light, and the light in Leader Tianqing's eyes also completely dissipated at this moment.

The legendary sword leader who has ruled Tianqingdao for hundreds of years, ruled by drawing the territory with the alliance of other countries, and signed non-interference pacts tyrannically with each other, has come to its final end today.

The faint moonlight fell and flowed on the body that fell to the ground.

Silent, speechless.

——The leader of Tianqing has been killed!
