Chapter 183: The Gate of Chaos (4)
After mastering the art of wishing taught by Cirith, Ryan immediately began to apply this knowledge to perfect his original "spell ordering" In terms of magic, he soon found that his progress was very fast, because Ryan did not need to spend most of his mana and mental power in connecting time fragments like in the Otherworld or Cassano, and there was a fairly complete and stable space-time turbulence in the space around him for a moment, and Ryan could easily release and store the spell here, and then easily summon it again.
By the time Ryan was able to summon pre-stored spells for actual combat as he wished, he had already stuffed more floating objects into this strange space: fireballs, lightning, The lava war hammer, as well as more than a dozen legendary-level forbidden spell spells, because there is no time to pass, these spells are in the most primitive state of compressing magic balls, and they do not emit any light, but if all these spells floating in this strange space are released in an instant, I am afraid that the cursed swamp and even nearby cities such as Cassano will quickly be destroyed and turned into ruins.
Being able to summon pre-stored spells at will, it is naturally easy to find a way to enter and exit this strange space by similar means, and when Ryan didn't know how much time it took to finally open a passage and return to the sealing room under the Temple of Apocalypse, Emma and the others didn't even notice that Ryan "was" Leaving his side, it was Ryan himself, and he also found that the time here seemed to remain at the moment when he just stepped into the second illusion, if it weren't for the extreme fatigue of his spirit and almost exhausted physical strength, Ryan would have thought that he had encountered some realistic illusion again.
After Meimei's sleep for a few hours, Ryan recovered as before, and then he weighed it repeatedly, feeling that the passage to the space where the Chaos Gate was located, with his current strength, there was no possibility of sealing, once an external force was applied, it was very likely to cause unknown changes, for the sake of safety, it was better to use the seal to isolate the entire Temple of the Apocalypse that sank into the ground from the outside world, as for the dark aura in the current ruins, as well as the souls of those Templars who had fallen after they died, Ryan planned to return to Cassano to consolidate the skills he had mastered in this adventure before returning to deal with it, and then he might have to pull the Farah, Victor, and see if they can find a solution by pooling the strength of all their companions.
Theas and the others felt very strange about Ryan's behavior in the sealing room under the ruins, his teacher didn't seem to have done anything, but he seemed to have experienced a lot of things, and then left with everyone without saying a word, and repeatedly warned Sias and others to keep their mouths shut about what happened in the ruins of the Temple of the Apocalypse, but since this was the teacher's request, Theas Sissi and they naturally had to strictly abide by it, so Ryan and his party ended the trial trip of the Cursed Swamp and returned to Cassano's Iron Fist Castle New Town。
Overall, if you don't count the last part of the journey of the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse, Siassi's trial trip was still very successful, several important battles brought them a lot of inspiration, and the actual combat experience of the whole journey also gave Siassi and them the opportunity to accumulate experience and seek to continue to improve their strength, as for the final gain, it depends on how I comprehend it, which Ryan can't help at all, and by the time he returned to Cassano, a familiar guest had been waiting here for a long time.
"Red, when did you come back from there?" When Ryan saw Archbishop Red standing in front of him, he immediately shouted excitedly, the Red in front of him after participating in the expeditionary force for many years, both strength and appearance are very different from before, the original Red was more like a noble gentleman, often drinking and messing around, and always giving people a feeling of frivolity and untrustworthiness, but at this moment Reid standing in front of Ryan not only has a little more fortitude on his face, but also has a faint beard at the corner of his mouth, which looks much more mature and stable. Coupled with the crown of thorns on his head, the black bishop's robe with gold trim on his body, and the pale yellow leather armor embroidered with black tulips on his shoulders that symbolizes the identity of the archbishop, it shows Red's compassion for the world, and people have an urge to immediately prostrate at his feet and worship him.
"Ryan!" Red only said these two words, and then he strode forward, and gave Ryan a hug with all his strength, his move completely destroyed the previous noble and holy momentum, and for a while, the Rafter who had been adventuring with Ryan came back again, and seeing that his archbishop actually made this gaffe action, the four cardinals standing behind Rand all lowered their heads involuntarily, making a look of ignorance, this subconscious move also made Ryan who saw this scene laugh secretly in his heart, needless to say that in the years of participating in the expeditionary force, Red has already erected absolute prestige among the subordinates of the Church of Light, if it were not for this, these old-fashioned and even somewhat arrogant cardinals have long jumped out to blame.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and after a few moments, the two sides parted, and Ryan took Red's hand with a smile on his face and led him towards his private library, which was also where Ryan received close friends. After the two of them sat around the table in the library, Emma, who had turned into a puppet golem, continued to perform her previous duties, serving them exquisite food, fragrant wine, and cool spring water for Ryan, but Red was very curious about Emma's changes, and couldn't help but look at this lady who was a dead soul a few years ago.
"Ah, I can finally drink freely!" Because there were no outsiders, Red snatched the silver kettle full of the best Bordeaux wine from Emma's hand with an almost fluttering motion, and then poured it into his mouth without grace, completely ignoring the bishop's robe that symbolized his graceful and luxurious status and the only cloak of the Church of Light, and waited until he emptied the silver kettle without stopping, then he let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and then continued: " In the past few years outside, it has suffocated me, Ryan, you must know that I exist as if I am their spiritual leader, you can't talk much, you can't say anything that affects morale, you must always be full of compassion, and you have to fight those damn bones, this day is really not human!"
Ryan smiled as Emma handed him another jug of wine, he groaned a few times, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just a rotation when you come back from the front line this time, right?"
"If you want to listen to nonsense and clichés, it is that we have just had a decisive battle, the territory of the Nightwind Empire has been fully recovered, the evil army of the undead has collapsed under the blow of my forbidden spell, and the end of the war is just around the corner!" Red pursed his lips, and after saying these few words, his face immediately became serious, he held the silver pot in his hand, but did not put it in his mouth, but said to Ryan very solemnly: " However, the reality is that the undead army is not afraid of attrition at all, and the soldiers who died in battle can become their kind anyway, so after the war, we can only rely on us Light Priests to release relevant magic to purify the corpses of those who died in battle, so that they will no longer be infested by evil forces. And in the decisive battle not long ago, in order to take the capital of the Night Wind Empire, which has become the city of death, we had to unleash the Light Forbidden Spell three times in a row, and the result was ......"
Red didn't continue, but with his other hand, he took out a very beautifully decorated wooden box from the storage pocket, and casually threw it to Ryan, who didn't need to open it at all, he already knew what was inside, and when Ryan gently lifted the lid of the box, the scepter of the burning angel he had repaired lay quietly inside, but it was once again turned into hundreds of broken fragments, apparently Red had overused the power contained in it in the battle, so it became what it is now.
"You're not going to let me fix this again, are you?" Ryan shrugged his shoulders, and then casually put the wooden box on the table next to him, it's not that he can't repair the broken scepter, but with Ryan's current strength, if he goes all out, he can completely put aside these fragments in front of him and remake a powerful item that is no less powerful than a real artifact, even if it was the complete Scorching Angel Scepter in the hands of Master Iber back then, he would have to bow down, but doing so would inevitably expose Ryan's energy conversion secret technique, but if he dealt with it casually, he would inevitably be sorry for the trust of his good friend, so he didn't mention anything about it, and first saw what Red meant。 As for what Ryan and Freya did back then, that was the real repair, and the final product was at most only a part of the original undamaged power, otherwise it would not have shattered into so many fragments again after continuous fierce battles.
"If you use the status of archbishop, it is naturally for love and justice...... Don't say this nonsense, you know, but this thing is obviously an artifact given by the God of Light to believers like us, why do you have to let a mortal who doesn't believe in this god repair every time it is damaged?" Red said vaguely while drinking wine: "Last time, I couldn't help it, I just joined the Church of Light, and I relied on this thing to suppress the underneath, now, even if I don't wear anything, I want to see who dares to jump out and talk nonsense, I slapped him with the Flame Aura!" Compared with me, it's not enough to see, it's not enough to see!"
