Chapter 256: Sewers (2)
"Ryan!" said the cold man, who had become a necromancer, in a gloomy tone, "You don't need to know who I am, because it's meaningless, and since I've become what I am now, then everything before has nothing to do with me."
Bailey used these words to attract Ryan's attention, and then quietly stretched out his left hand, which had turned into a skeleton, aimed his white bone fingers at Ryan's body, and recited the magic spell of "Death Finger" aloud, but in a second, a white bone claw appeared from the void and grabbed directly at Ryan's body, as if to forcibly strip his soul from his body.
Ryan's face changed slightly, he was not afraid, but he never thought that the necromancer on the other side could use this high-level evil magic, and when the white bone claw that was transformed purely by magic energy came to him, Ryan's body once again burst out with a scorching red light, and the continuous flames surged, directly facing the white bone claw.
The level 7 "Finger of Death" is indeed a powerful existence, and after Bailey became a necromancer, he even transformed his arm at any cost, turning his left hand into a skeleton, so that he can quickly release a variety of evil magic without causing too much damage to himself like a lich, usually at such a close distance, Bailey's enemies will be killed before they have time to react, but this time he ran into Ryan, who had defeated him.
Ryan had been on guard against Bailey's attack with all his might, so he didn't panic after the "Finger of Death" was activated, and he directly used his strength to fight against this evil magic, and used the overwhelming "quantity" to fight against the "quality" of Bailey's level 7 magic.
Therefore, in Bailey's surprised eyes, he actually saw that his death finger was swallowed by Ryan with seemingly endless flames, and the evil energy that was enough to kill his opponent was forcibly purified in the flames, and these flames did not even have the meaning of staying at all, directly forming a wall of fire, directly pushing Bailey and Maia.
"Damn!" Although Bailey knew that Ryan's strength would definitely increase to a very strong point in the past 4 years, he still didn't estimate that Ryan's strength had reached such a terrifying realm, and he only relied on the magic similar to the second-level "Flame Scorching" to directly cancel out his level 7 magic, and even had the strength to take advantage of the situation to fight back.
At the thought of Ryan's stormy blow in the past, Bailey's face changed drastically, and his face stitched together by multiple humans became even more distorted, and at the moment he made a decision, Bailey turned his head and ran, and at the same time silently chanted a spell in his mouth, and pointed at the corpse of the apprentice on the ground, and Maia didn't even have the idea of attacking, and began to flee for his life after Bailey.
Ryan originally planned to use the flame prison to trap Bailey and Maia, but Bailey's reaction exceeded his expectations, although Ryan had used flames to cover all the spaces of the sewers here with the fire wall technique, but Bailey didn't care about his body at all, and directly broke into the raging flames, while emitting a scorching smell, Bailey's mutilated body escaped, and Maiya received very little fire burns from the flames because he followed Bailey, but his face and body surface were still burned with large scars.
Ryan was about to pursue, the corpse of the apprentice lying on the ground in a large number of stumps and severed arms suddenly began to swell, just like the corpses of those innocent citizens of the imperial capital who died at the beginning of the new year, Ryan knew that it was not good, although he had flame armor to protect him, he was not afraid of these things, but if this plague spread again, it would be another catastrophe for the imperial capital.
In an instant, Ryan weighed the pros and cons, and decisively chose to give up chasing Bailey and them, and instead used the fire prison magic to forcibly shroud the apprentice's corpse. "Boom!", the apprentice's body exploded in the flame prison, and countless fragments of the broken body flew up, only to be burned by the scorching flames that had been waiting outside for a long time in a very short time.
After Ryan controlled the scope of the corpse explosion, he was still not at ease, he simply purified the entire space with flames, knowing that even if a rat infected with that plague ran to the ground, it could cause a new plague again.
By the time the Sheriff's agents finally arrived, Ryan had left with peace of mind, and the Sheriff's agents with torches were surprised to see that the area was as clean as their own home, not at all like a 200-year-old sewer, which became a permanent mystery in the Sheriff's secret file.
After leaving the sewers, Ryan's first choice was to take a bath, in the filthy place of the sewers, the smell alone was enough to suffocate people, if it weren't for Ryan's experience of the blood pool in the tomb of King Alexander, I'm afraid he would have started to vomit a long time ago, the rotten smell of the sewers, after all, is not as shocking as the constant rolling blood.
As for the pursuit of Bailey and Maia, Ryan still wisely gave up, the sewers lead in all directions, and the other party can leave with just one exit, with Ryan's strength alone, it is useless at all, if it is an ordinary person, Ryan can also forcibly use the "Magic Vision" to search, but the other party, as a necromancer, must have some hidden methods that are not known to outsiders, otherwise how can he keep escaping the Church of Light, the Royal Knights and the Druid tribe in the past 200 years?
However, Ryan still resisted this desire, and rushed to the Church of Light first, he told Red in detail about what he saw and heard in the sewers, hoping that Red would mobilize people to deploy defense throughout the city, and then Ryan rushed to the immediate barracks, and in Bacon's puzzled eyes, Ryan, who exuded a foul smell, walked into Orlando's military tent and repeated the whole process of events again.
Both the Church of Light and the Royal Knights attach great importance to Ryan's narrative, the tragedy at the beginning of the new year is still vivid, and the sewers of the imperial capital have traces of necromancers, although it is not completely certain that this necromancer is related to the plague at the beginning of the new year, but neither Red nor Orlando will tolerate the continued existence of necromancers on this continent.
Seeing countless Holy Knights and Light Priests flock to every corner of the Imperial Capital, Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally no longer endure the invasion of this smell on his body, so Ryan rushed back to Faraz's new mansion as fast as he could, went directly to the bathroom, and jumped into the tub full of hot water.
After soaking in the warm hot water, Ryan finally let out a comfortable moan, this was the fourth bucket of water he had replaced, and his body was finally free of that pungent odor. Ryan wanted to laugh at the thought of the look on Vivien's cute little nose that she had just wrinkled into her cuteness.
After more than a month of recuperation, Vivien was finally able to walk on her own, and now she seemed to have nothing to do except for strenuous activities. Seeing Vivien's gradual recovery, Ryan's heart is also very happy, in addition to his close relationship with Vivian, the most important thing is that Vivian once saved Farass desperately, and Farass is the most important woman in Ryan's heart.
Perhaps because of the pleasure felt in his body, Ryan's mind began to wander, and somehow, he actually thought of the cold man he met in the sewer, and from the tone of the other party, he confirmed that this person had seen it himself, but Ryan couldn't remember who this person was.
After thinking about everyone he knew a few times, Ryan leaned his body on the tub with a little decadence, since he couldn't think of anything, then give up for the time being, Ryan believed that he would definitely meet that cold man again, and the most important thing for him now was to think about how to face a strong necromancer, so that he would have an absolute advantage in the next battle.
The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and a soft footstep came from behind him, Ryan thought that this was Vivien running in and making love to himself by rubbing his back, so he said, "Vivian, you are not well, don't come to make trouble, I am thinking about things." ”
The man behind him didn't speak, just gently pressed a pair of small hands on Ryan's back, kneading slowly, and Ryan was heartbeat, because the movements of these hands were quite stiff, obviously not Vivian's skillful and flowing movements, he slowly turned his head, but saw Farath wearing only a bathrobe.
After seeing Ryan turn his head, Faras didn't speak, but continued to knead Ryan's shoulders with both hands, but Ryan saw a trace of guilt and doubt in Farath's eyes, and it was obvious that Farath felt deep regret for hiding Ryan's actions.
"Right...... I'm sorry!" Faras suddenly lowered her head and said softly: "Ryan, I shouldn't have deceived you, I ......"
Ryan gently covered Faraz's small mouth with his big hand, and then he used his sunny smile to dissolve the sadness in Faraz's heart: "Dear Fani, please never say anything to me I'm sorry, we are husband and wife, we are the closest people in the world, in a sense, we are even one, to give a not very appropriate example, the teeth bite the tongue, do you still have to say sorry?"
"I ......" Faras's heart was moved, after all, she was at fault for this matter, she had already known Yosha's identity but concealed it from Ryan, and even used Josa to set a trap, almost putting Josa to death, fortunately, Ryan's subordinate Sophie appeared in time to save the girl, if Farasken had told Ryan about Yosa's true identity earlier, then maybe the whole thing would not have happened.
