Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 362: The second grandmaster level, [Instinct's Grasp]!
When [Austerity Body Training] was completely perfected and [Ancient Power], the ancient rune power derived from [Immaculate Body], was perfectly controlled with the blessing of Ronan's [Six-Layered Spiral Palace].

The scene of this silent dead sea flashed before Ronan's eyes from time to time.

This seemed to be a secret buried in the [Ancient Power], allowing him to glimpse a certain ancient truth.

Every time Ronan swung the black long-handled battle axe in his hand, ripples would appear on the Dead Sea in front of him.

The sound of the stirring water was made by him. Under the dead and turbid black sea surface, there seemed to be a dark red color deeper than blood slowly flowing.

"Click——"

The long-handled battle axe cut out a half-moon-shaped black halo in the void, bringing out a taboo-like vision. Black arcs of lightning were densely entangled on the halo, and they cut down the man and the horse. The lance in the latter's hand was broken, and under the collision of the two terrifying forces, he retreated backwards in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Kaka——"

The knight steadied his body, switched from holding the lance in one hand to holding it with both hands on the back of the Black Nightmare warhorse, stretched his body, and made a series of cracking sounds.

He looked at Ronan, and under the bronze mask, his eyes seemed to be smiling, revealing a bit of interest.

"@@￥!"

He uttered ancient syllables softly, and a powerful mental force field belonging to the late fifth level spread outward, attracting almost endless energy particles.

Soon, clusters of dark blue flames arose around him, condensing into the shadow of a black underworld elephant that was dozens of meters tall, with long hair and sharp fangs. Finally, all the flames shrank and added to him.

After the huge shadow of the dark elephant fell, the runes on the knight's bronze armor lit up, as if the rust was falling off, and in an instant it became somewhat gorgeous.

His aura was also rising rapidly, soon reaching several times stronger than before, and the invisible energy pressure field almost formed a dark blue mysterious storm around him.

"Come again."

The knight smiled and pulled the reins. Both the man and the horse turned into black smoke and suddenly disappeared, directly merging into the dark blue storm, and then silently swept towards Ronan.

A series of cold and eerie forbidden auras invaded Ronan's force field like a storm. Ronan narrowed his eyes and felt an unprecedented heavy pressure.

The perfection of [Immaculate Body], coupled with the [Six-Layered Spiral Palace] constructed by an on-the-spot breakthrough, allowed his "Ancient Demon Body" to leap to a level where he could compete head-on with a late-stage fifth-level wizard.

But the person in front of him was obviously not an ordinary late-stage fifth-level wizard. He was also a "monster", even more so than the monsters in the Minotaur's Labyrinth.

Moreover, he is in full condition, and Ronan no longer has the "immunity and invincibility" effect brought by the "Defense Shrine".

"Is this the strength of a true late-stage fifth-level elite?"

Ronan closed his eyes, and the strange illusion of the Dead Sea slowly disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, a raging fighting spirit was already burning in his eyes.

“Just right…”

Ronan held the long-handled battle axe in one hand. Some of the black aura was shattered under the influence of the incomplete "Storm Bloodline" in his body, forming black smoke that rose from the gaps in the golden armor made of titanium.

His long black hair flew up behind him like a waterfall. At this moment, his whole body seemed to have both divinity and devilishness intertwined in him.

"Help me break through this last layer of shackles at the master level!"

When [Austerity Body Training] was promoted from expert level to master level, it was finally achieved when my body and mind were almost broken.

Ronan wasn't sure whether he would have to repeat the process once he had successfully completed the master-level proficiency and was promoted to grandmaster-level.

But it’s never wrong to actively pursue more and greater pressure, and seek opportunities to achieve breakthroughs in life-and-death battles!

Ronan took a deep breath, and the powerful life force field brought by the body of the ancient demon began to rotate. The whole person was like a black meteorite, flying quickly towards the dark blue storm in front of him that made a hissing sound from time to time.

"Boom!"

Black and dark blue lightning intertwined, and Ronan directly knocked a huge gap in the dark blue storm.

The Black Nightmare Knight rode his warhorse half out of the storm, and with a cold look in his eyes, he stabbed Ronan straight with his gun.

Ronan calmly held the battle axe with both hands, the axe blade raised, and the crescent-shaped arc of light just hit the tip of the gun.

The overwhelming pressure contained at the tip of the spear and the forbidden aura of the necromancy spell infused him with a deep coldness, quickly sweeping away his battle axe and piercing through his left shoulder.

In an instant, Ronan seemed to hear the wailing of thousands of ghosts in his ears and the roar of an ancient Hades elephant. His left shoulder seemed to be severely trampled by the Hades elephant. The titanium helmet shattered instantly and the whole person flew backwards immediately.

The powerful force field like a star squeezed the void into layers of twisted folds. The sixteen pairs of golden eagle wings behind Ronan fully spread out, trembling constantly, constantly offsetting the overbearing and cold spell energy.

Ronan had encountered an opponent who combined the skills of a knight with the magical power of a wizard to form a unique fighting style.

Not to mention Mond in the maze, even further away, there is Adam in the "Psychic Dawn" in the south.

Of course, the person in front of him was much stronger than Adam and had better use of magic skills. He was a terrible opponent and could be considered the strongest person Ronan had ever encountered at level five.

Ronan resisted the power of the shot. The injured part of his left shoulder was a lifeless gray-black color. There was also a penetrating wound as wide as a finger. This wound also existed on his soul.

He couldn't help but frown slightly. The body of the ancient demon in the six-fold spiral palace state had already reached an incredible level of defense against spells and physical attacks. Ronan even had a strong premonition that he might not be injured even if he resisted a fifth-level spell.

But even so, it was pierced through by the Black Nightmare Knight's shot, which shows the terrifying power of that shot.

Even at this moment, the ball of vitality that was stimulated to an abnormally vigorous state by the power of the remaining evolutionary shrine was difficult to heal.

But okay
Ronan flipped his hand and took out a square black stone box. He extracted a few strands of green energy light from it and injected them into his body. The wound healed quickly.

——The power of the healing shrine obtained in the ancient waterway. The dark blue storm was still there, and the figures of the Black Nightmare Knight and his horse were looming in the storm, like the ghost rider dominating the death hurricane.

Ronan slowly stood up.

"All things are children of fire and gold."

He calmly recited the Song of Fire and Gold, and a part of his titanium armor naturally disintegrated, separated and reorganized into broken notes, and then condensed into blades of gold and fire.

"Kaka——"

He slightly clenched the long-handled battle axe in his hand. The axe blade melted like black mercury and then condensed into the shape of eight blades. Each blade was a long and narrow axe blade, but when they were gathered together, they formed a strange-shaped spear.

Those ancient and complex patterns still exist, and the original heaviness and domineeringness have been enhanced with a sense of sharpness and agility.

Compared to the slightly bulky long-handled battle axe, Ronan still feels that the spear is easier to use.

"Om-"

The eight-bladed spear trembled slightly in all directions in his hand, making bursts of trembling sounds.

Ronan narrowed his eyes, his body shook, and he rushed out like a blurry phantom.

Under the dark blue storm, the shadow of the ancient Hades was looming, and the Black Nightmare Knight emerged from it and stabbed Ronan with a casual shot.

A beam of magic energy condensed to the extreme twisted and shot out from the tip of the gun. The moment it pierced through Ronan's body, Ronan exploded from the state of a blazing and powerful black meteor, and in an instant, dozens of almost identical figures holding guns appeared.

Golden and flaming blades circled and danced in the sky like a flock of singing birds. Under the strong fluctuations of space magic, the auras of several forbidden magic domains surged at the same time.

There was a silver light of mystery in the eyes of every Ronan. From all directions, like smaller and more powerful meteorites, they fell towards the Black Nightmare Knight in the center of the battle group with guns.

The latter blinked his eyes under the bronze visor, and some strange colors appeared.

For the first time, [Mirror Image and Water Moon] was no longer used for escape in Ronan's hands, but was performed in frontal combat, showing some of the true charm of the Minotaur space spell heritage.

Ronan naturally entered the state of [Ethereal and Extreme Mind]. His aura rose steadily. He was completely dominated by the will to fight, and his mind was as calm as an ice lake.

The fighting style of the Black Nightmare Knight gave him many unprecedented inspirations, and he began to try to build his own close combat spell system in this battle.

He is not afraid of injury, and the powerful opponent in front of him is his best teacher.

The master-level [Basic Swordsmanship] still allows him to have unparalleled control over the Eight-Blade Spear. The Black Dead Sea brought by the perfect-level control of [Ancient Power] once again appears before his eyes. The blood in his body surges, and the sound of waves hitting the coast and conch shells humming can be heard amid the resonance of bones and flesh.

Ronan entered an indescribable state.

The power of space, metal, and the body of ancient Demon were like three gears with different attributes, constantly grinding together in his hands, from awkward to smooth, from jerky to rounded. A brand-new combat system framework was slowly built up by Ronan.

"Tear--"

Ronan swept his spear across, and the eight-bladed spear tore through the void, bringing up countless black lightning and arcs of light.

It seemed that some existence was involved in the dark, and the power carried by the gun blade increased several times in an instant!
"Boom!"

This shot was like a powerful thunder that directly tore apart the dark blue storm in front of him and forced the Black Nightmare Knight to break out of his semi-illusory state.

He also stabbed with his spear, and the two figures quickly brushed past each other. The next second, the head of the warhorse that the Black Nightmare Knight was riding exploded!

The dark blue storm slowly dissipated. The Black Nightmare Knight looked at the headless warhorse wailing beneath him, stretched out a hand, and slowly rubbed the gap in the armor at his neck.

A few streaks of crimson were clearly visible between the palms.

Under the bronze visor, those eyes showed a hint of shock for the first time.

Behind him, Ronan, wearing golden armor and surrounded by gold and fire blades, held a gun in one hand, his black hair dancing, his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, an incomparable strange color suddenly appeared in his pupils.

——Grandmaster level!

He has broken through to the grandmaster level in another skill!
This time, it's [Basic Swordsmanship].

He had caught the hint of a breakthrough in [Basic Swordsmanship] several times, and finally achieved a real breakthrough this time.

On the character panel, the name of the Grandmaster-level [Basic Swordsmanship] has been changed to be more appropriate for this skill.
"【Instinct Grip】!"

Ronan uttered these four words softly and tried to wield the eight-bladed spear in his hand.

In an instant, his arms seemed to be entangled with countless dense and invisible silk threads in the void.

That is the texture of nature, the vein of heaven and earth!
Deep in the consciousness, a primitive and wild power also gushed out.

"call--"

Ronan rose into the sky like a puff of smoke or a cloud of fog, his ancient demon body stretched out and his eight-bladed spear rang softly.

His eyes were fixed on the Black Nightmare Knight in the distance, and before his eyes, the lingering illusion of the black Dead Sea appeared again.

And this time.

When Ronan swung his spear, the black Dead Sea in front of him.
Suddenly, waves arise!
