Chapter 37: A Quiet Man

Ethan's current reaction speed and physical agility ensure that he can dodge this sneak attack at the first time, although the posture is not very good-looking, but at least he successfully avoided being poked in the waist - with Ethan's current physical fitness and recovery ability, even if he is really stabbed, it will not have much impact.

While dodging, Ethan immediately unleashed another magic shield. This is a shield made of pure magical energy, with no additional attributes and average defense, and at the same time as it was released, it was pierced by a ball of sharp bone spears that emitted blue-gray, turned into fragments and re-transformed into magical energy.

However, this shield bought Ethan time, even if it was only blocked for a second, it was enough for Ethan to take a position and respond.

At the same time, he also saw clearly who he was attacking.

"Zur!"

Ethan didn't even have a chance to call out his name, and Zur on the other side had already picked up a scythe and slashed at Ethan's face.

Whatever he said, if he couldn't catch it, he wouldn't have a chance to say it.

His right hand immediately made a movement to swing the blade to parry, and the moment his right hand was raised, a strange black and red sword had appeared in his hand.

Because of long-term training, he can already convert his magic into real matter, some objects with special compositions are not easy to 'create', but like ordinary weapons can still be condensed, with frequent practice, the time spent is getting less and less.

The more you know the structure, the faster you can create. If you practice over and over again for an item, you can also speed it up.

The red-black greatsword that is usually used to practice creating cold weapons can already be condensed in an instant, and it is also a magic weapon with fire attributes.

The moment the black-red greatsword collided with the sickle, a powerful explosion occurred, and the impact force formed by the flame explosion directly shocked Zuer, who was holding the sickle, back several steps.

When Zur retreated, Ethan thought he could have a good conversation with this guy, but he turned around slightly and let go of a gray-white energy mass hidden behind him.

Soul of Bones!

This is one of the most powerful attack spells of the Rasmar priests, and in addition to being powerful, the most difficult thing is that it automatically tracks enemies and never stops until they are hit.

Generally speaking, in addition to hard resistance, you can only choose a powerful enough magic initiative to collide with the Soul of Bones and intercept it halfway.

Ethan chose a way somewhere in between, his right hand holding the sword lowered, and his left free hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and slightly behind his shoulder, as if he was about to use his fist to shake the soul of bones.

With the movement of clenching his fist, a huge blue fist condensed in mid-air beside Ethan, and he took the same posture as Ethan's left hand.

In addition to the energy that Ethan released again, there was also the energy that had been shattered by Zur with a bone spear before.

One of the great advantages of the cultivation method chosen by Ethan is the absolute control of his own magic power, although these energies have been defeated, they have not completely dissipated and integrated into this world, but wander around, ready to be used by Ethan.

Just like now, the scattered energy was 'summoned' back by him, and the energy released by himself again condensed into this big fist, and then with Ethan's fist smashing down, the huge fist with a diameter of two meters in mid-air smashed heavily on the bone soul in front of him.

The huge magic fist not only directly crushed the Bone Soul, but also slammed into the ground and caused a powerful shockwave, and the amazing power forced Zur, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get close and attack again, to avoid it.

He took a few steps back and distanced himself before releasing the Bone Shield and the Bone Wall.

However, the expected attack did not come, and when the smoke cleared, Zur found the man on the opposite side who had suddenly appeared in his place of cultivation, standing there...... Wave at yourself.

"Long time no see, Zur. ”

This situation made Zur a little confused, but he kept a straight face most of the time, and even now he didn't have a surprised expression on his face, but realized that the situation might be a little different from what he thought, so he removed the bone wall in front of him.

The shield of bones had not been revoked, and the scythe was still in his hand, and it was impossible for him to truly let his guard down without figuring out the specifics.

"Are you ......?"

Ethan has changed so much that it's normal for Zul not to recognize it. In order to identify himself, Ethan also took out the ring that Zur had given him.

Seeing the ring held in the left hand of the young man opposite, Zur finally realized who the young man in front of him was.

"Ethan?"

This answer made him feel very surprised, had that layman with an ordinary appearance and a thin figure had actually grown into such a powerful spellcaster?

"Actually...... Has it been all this time?"

The two sides had a very tacit understanding, and almost at the same time they disarmed all the spells on their bodies, except that the scythe in his hand was not formed by spells, and even the armor-like existence on his body that protected the key points was formed by spells.

Compared to Zur, who was still carrying a long scythe, Ethan was wearing ordinary clothes, and there was nothing really called 'equipment' other than the ring in his hand.

Seeing this, Zur was once again shocked by Ethan's progress, and he, like Akara, was convinced that Ethan was Nephilim, otherwise there was no way to explain the situation.

When they met, Zur was already one of the best priests in the Rasmar Sect, so he had the strength to become a hero to defeat the Demon King.

After all, this is the real world, and it won't be like in the game, putting monsters in front of you from weak to strong, allowing you to kill them slowly, and slowly advancing the plot to make the 'player' continue to become stronger.

In fact, people like Zur and Issandra themselves are extremely powerful characters, which is why they become heroes - those who are not strong have already died at the hands of dark monsters, and they are not even qualified to meet the Great Demon King.

Ethan's strength back then was not to mention facing Diablo, if he hadn't taken the initiative to withdraw, I'm afraid he would have died in a battle before he even saw Andariel.

Now Ethan can match Zur's fight, and it looks like he hasn't used his full strength yet, which is terrifying.

Of course, Zur didn't use all his strength, after all, the battle broke out too suddenly, he didn't have all the equipment and spell casting items around, and as a Rasma priest, the longer he was given to prepare, the more amazing the combat power he could burst out, and the hasty encounter should be the time when his combat power was the lowest.

"It's been years, but your reaction is exaggerated, isn't it?"

Zur shook his head helplessly, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, said hello to Ethan again, and then explained to Ethan very calmly.

"This is my personal cultivation place, there are my disciples on the periphery, and it is an inaccessible area, so there will definitely be no outsiders who will accidentally break in, so you suddenly appeared, and I regarded you as an enemy who came specifically against me. ”

Ethan looked at it, it was a place that was really not very beautiful, except for the land under his feet that could barely stand on it, surrounded by endless woods, swamps, and strange smells everywhere, he could also feel the strong breath of life and death energy in this area.

This is a place where life and death coexist, and it's no wonder that Zur is here to recuperate, as for the environment or something...... The priests of the Rasmar Sect had a very different 'aesthetic' from the common people in this respect.

"It is precisely because the priests of the Rasmar Sect always like to stay in such places and use some scary spells that you do not have a good reputation among ordinary people. ”

However, these words did not mean anything to the Rasmar priests, who did not take advantage of people's opinions at all, but simply stuck to their beliefs and did what they were supposed to do.

Sure enough, Zur smiled back disapprovingly, and then sat down on the ground very casually.

Ethan was not pretentious, and also sat down in front of Zur, and the two of them briefly chatted about the current situation of both parties.

For Ethan, Zur was one of his earliest teachers, so he maintained a lot of respect for Zuer, and as for the few shots just now, he also had the idea of 'letting the teacher see that he was now promising'.

However, Zur didn't talk much about the huge progress Ethan had made, just briefly congratulated him and talked about his current situation.

In the end, he concluded: if there was nothing special, such as something like Diablo that would upset the 'balance', he would stay in the 'old home' of Rasma, which was a huge cemetery, and teach some young people by the way.

Ethan was not surprised by this, this was the way of life of the Rasma priests, and he was not good at dictating to other people's choices, but after making sure that Zur was now satisfied with his life, he left the communication amulet as usual, and then said goodbye to Zur.

Zur was not polite, and happily accepted the amulet given by Ethan, whether he used it or not, this thing could be used as a souvenir.

"By the way, I may come back to you in the future, I hope you don't greet you in such a 'warm' way next time. ”

Zur nodded, indicating that he had memorized the fluctuating nature of Ethan's teleportation magic, and that he would not be an enemy next time.

"By the way, by the way, help me and Isandra to say hello. ”

Zur knew that Ethan was going to see Isandrola next, and greeted his former comrade-in-arms by the way.

"No problem!"
