After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 49 One-on-two, Ryan’s first professional battle! (Seeking for further reading)
  The waves surged and white foam splashed.

[Black Rose], above the deck.

"Swordsman" El's eyes fell on the young man in front of him carrying a big sword.

The midday sun was falling straight down, making a layer of golden light seem to appear around the edges of the young man's body.

Compared to the Dark Moon Witch and Knight Girl, the bloody son named "Lian Leland" in front of him is undoubtedly the least threatening.

El can judge this from the intensity of his spirituality.

The foundation of a professional, in the final analysis, is spirituality.

The stronger the spirituality, the better the fit between the professional and the profession, and the stronger the professional ability.

Although "Ryan Leyland" gave him a ferocious feeling that was not like a human being, but a bit like a monster, there is no doubt that "Ryan Leyland" has low spirituality.

The [Golden Rule] never lies.

When he was marked with the "bloody mark", "Ryan Leyland" was undoubtedly just an ordinary person. A few days passed, and although he did not know what happened, he became a first-level professional, but he had just taken office. , spirituality is undoubtedly the weakest group among the first-level professions. It is estimated that they are not even able to use their own professional abilities proficiently, let alone learn "universal secret methods" or "exclusive secret methods".

And I have received the blessing of [War Psalm], which is equivalent to two against one. No matter how you think about it, you can't lose, right?
  A series of thoughts ran through his mind. "Sword Master" El suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, no longer hesitated, and launched the attack.

A white shimmer suddenly lit up on his body, and El's speed suddenly increased. His whole body stretched into a long shadow, and in a very short time, he came in front of Ryan.

This is the core professional ability of [First-Level Soldier] - [Charge]. An ability whose name seems quite simple, but its effect is very powerful. It can enable [soldiers] who lack long-range attack methods to quickly close the distance between themselves and the enemy, and give the next attack power and speed.

The black long sword was slashed out, and the spiritual power was dense and precipitated on the blade. [Sword Skill - Charged Slash] was used by El again, slashing horizontally towards the vital part of Ryan's neck.

[Charge] + [Sword Skill - Charged Slash] + [War Psalm]!
  The three layers of power were superimposed, making Er's slash reach its peak power!
  Even if he was facing a first-level professional who had just taken office, Il, who had the "advantage", did not relax at all, and went all out from the beginning.

Il relied on this cautious energy to get to the second level gate step by step.

The sword was so sharp that before it reached his body, it already made the skin on Ryan's neck sting slightly.

Ryan's eyes were calm.

This was his first time fighting a professional.

The last time the main body fought, the opponent was just a strong ordinary person who was good at using a scimitar.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many battles in the places he traveled, but at this moment, he didn't feel any panic in his heart.

Compared with those monsters that can easily reach tens or tens of meters, what are the enemies in front of them?

Although his true body's strength is far inferior to that of his traveling clone, how can the enemy in front of him be as strong as one of the monster's claws?
  The hazel pupils reflected the rapidly approaching blade. When the sword was only the last meter away from his neck, Ryan drew the sword.

"clang--!"

The clear sound of metal collision resounded all around, and the spiritual ripples surged violently. When the blow hit, there was no trace of joy on El's face. On the contrary, his complexion suddenly changed, and he turned pale, and his body was uncontrollable. He took several steps back and then barely stopped his retreat.

At this moment, Ir's hands holding the sword couldn't help but tremble. He looked at the young man in front of him who had drawn the silver-blue sword and blocked it in front of him, his eyes full of horror.

"Such power...such power...how is it possible?!"

Blessed by the triple power, he actually lost in a head-on confrontation?
  --monster!

This is the only thought in "Sword Master" El's mind at the moment.

He miscalculated. Even though the young man in front of him was not as good as that terrifying knight girl, he was by no means an ordinary first-level professional.

Such terrifying power can never be brought about by profession. In other words, is this a natural divine power? !

El couldn't figure it out.

But at this moment, there was no time for him to continue thinking.

Because Ryan took action.

"kill!!!"

The spiritual sound waves spread, and in an instant, they brushed over El's body, causing his eyes to freeze. Not only that, the sound of [High-spirited War Roar] also greatly interfered with the sound of the piano, causing Lord Slop to play The effect of [War Psalm] is greatly weakened.

A pale white light lit up on Ryan's body, which was the physical attribute bonus brought by "morale increase".

He took one step forward, and there was a loud "bang" sound on the ground. In less than half a second, he came to El and slashed down with the big sword in his hand.

The state of mind brought about by practicing swordsmanship for a long time, as well as the help of the remaining [War Psalm], caused El to fall into a "shock" state for less than half a second before he regained consciousness.

The sharply enlarging sword in his eyes caused his pupils to shrink sharply.

At this moment, it was too late for him to dodge.

At the critical moment, Il could only hold the sword in one hand and the sword body in the other, blocking the long sword in front of him, trying to block this heavy slash from top to bottom.

"Boom-"

The moment the big sword came into contact with the long sword, the defensive posture of the long sword was shattered. Even if El clenched his teeth and resisted with all his life, he could not stop the falling trend of the big sword.

In the end, the blade of the great sword was deeply embedded in El's shoulder, and bright red blood splashed on the deck.

The huge force made El unable to resist, and he knelt heavily on the ground, with the right half of his body completely losing consciousness.

Because of too much force, the whites of El's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth were all bleeding. He stared at the young man in front of him with a distorted face.

He couldn't believe that he couldn't even take a sword from "Ryan Leland" whose spiritual strength was far inferior to his own.

Ryan's face was expressionless, but he was also a little surprised in his heart.

With just one strike of "half-charged energy", this seemingly powerful enemy knelt down?
  After being surprised at first, he quickly understood.

According to the calculations on the panel, the [Physique] of a first-level professional is approximately between 2.0 and 2.5, depending on the focus of the profession. And his [Physique], even under normal conditions, is 3.09, and coupled with the "morale increase", it reaches about 3.4.

Based on this, he used [Storm Sword Skill - Breaking Waves] to increase the power of this slash to a terrifying 5.1! ("Half-charge" blessing, only coefficient 1.5)

The improvement of professionals is basically reflected in the secret method and spirituality. In terms of [physical fitness], unless there is a major increase in realm or special factors, there will be very little change.

And the effect of El's [Physique] under various blessings is about 3.5, which is 5.1% different from Ryan's 45!

The gap of 20% is already quite big, and 30% is an undoubted crush, let alone 45%.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that El was defeated with just one sword strike.
