Can't I develop my own character?

The extraordinary assassin hiding in the dark already wants to curse.

He attacked several times, trying to wear down Xia Li's combat capability. As long as the damage continued to accumulate, her condition would get worse and worse... This didn't make sense!

"This guy is a bit weird, kill the others first!"

The archer growled.

They had originally planned to join forces to kill 'Xia Li' first. The remaining allied forces were just a mob, and even if their numbers doubled, they would not be able to defeat the Red Tiger Guards.

But now they find that it is impossible to do so.

It would be better to kill Gluck and the others first, then go back and fight the boss.

But when the two were about to give up the siege, a "river" suddenly flowed through the blood-colored fog, and a boat floated on the river and mysteriously entered the battlefield.

Then the singing suddenly started, and the two of them were distracted, their eyes lost focus for a short time, and they were lost in the singing.

"Be careful, it's a transcendent!"

The archer was the first to react. He looked carefully and saw no river or boat. There was only an invisible magic power spreading across the battlefield. All the people covered by the singing lost their minds for a brief moment.

At this moment, 'Shari' had already ignited the Sword of Ares.

Dengdengdengdengdengdengdengdengdeng!

Nine gems, sacrifice nine levels of blood invincibility!

There are nine stages in Blood Sacrifice. The eighth stage is a single-target blast, while the ninth stage is a group attack.

Swish!

The power of soul strengthening fell on Xia Li at the same time.

'Xia Li', who had superimposed countless buffs, when the blood color rose, blood-red dragons flew out from the big sword, turning into terrifying blood shadows that devoured the surroundings!

"Finally arrived."

Seeing the blood-red eruption on the game interface, Ryan's heart relaxed. Although 'Xia Li's' health had been maintained in a healthy state, there was no guarantee that the opponent had no backup plan.

So the moment 'Weine' arrived at the battlefield, 'Xia Li' chose to take a large blood recovery potion and directly activate the invincible effect of the Death Ring to sacrifice the ninth stage.

If 'Vene' is not there, 'Xia Li' does not intend to explode directly. Although Ji Jiudan is strong, it is meaningless if it cannot hit the opponent. It can only clear out some 'miscellaneous soldiers'.

Ryan picked up the black tea and took a sip. The blood shadow in the picture finally fell after a while. When the blood mist dissipated, the entire battlefield with "Xia Li" as the center was already in ruins.

The ground was covered with bright red blood, broken limbs were everywhere, and the wailing and screams of terror merged into one.

Not far away, the assassin fell to the ground, his right leg completely broken, and he was covering the wound and wailing in pain.

The archer was also injured, but he finally avoided the power of the Blood Dragon Slash and was only hit by the aftermath.

"Carlos!"

He quickly rushed to the assassin, took out a bottle of potion and was about to give it to him, but suddenly a huge figure rushed out from the bloody scene, and grabbed the two of them fiercely with its sharp claws.

Ding!

"Exile? Why are you here?!"

'Soul Control!'

"Damn it! That guy can affect people's souls!"

"Get out of here first!"

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Charlie charged, spinning through the air and falling, crossing paths with the assassin as he struggled to his feet—Puff! Blood splattered everywhere, and his head rolled to the ground like a wheel, his eyes wide open, as he died with his eyes wide open.

"Damn it!!!"

The archer's eyes turned red. He jumped back to distance himself from the exile and took off the necklace hanging around his neck. It was an arrow. The next moment, the arrow suddenly grew larger and he pulled the bow and shot it out.

call out!

The bow and arrow flew out, and the terrifying force tore a long mark on the ground.

'Xia Li' dodged sideways, but the arrow turned around and followed again.

She dodged again, quickly increasing the distance, and the arrows followed 'Xia Li' as if locking onto her breath.

"It's useless!" the archer roared. "This is a relic of the Sun God, a gift from the Sky God. Once it locks onto you, there's no other possibility but death!"

"Then let death come."

In the blood-red color, the figure of 'Vine' appeared. She raised the Staff of Exhaustion, and the shadow of death fell on 'Xia Li'. Her body suddenly became illusory. The arrow passed through 'Xia Li's' body and did not look back. It finally landed in the Red Tiger Guard in the distance with a huge roar.

The power of this explosion was not much weaker than that of Blood Dragon Slash, and the damage caused to the Red Tiger Guards was even greater. After all, when Blood Dragon Slash was released, those Red Tiger Guards were very far away from 'Xia Li', but the place where the arrow fell happened to be where a group of Iron Guards gathered.

"How could it be..." The archer was stunned.

'Xia Li's' figure turned into a ghost. This state lasted for about three seconds before recovering. Then, 'Xia Li' rushed towards the archer with a blood-red sword in hand.

[Free: Pull the target into the dead space for three seconds. In this state, the target is immune to magic and physical damage, and the speed is reduced by 90%.]

This is a new skill that 'Weinei' learned after her second job change.

Although it looks similar to the invincibility skill, the spell target can lock onto others, protect teammates, and even interrupt the enemy's spell effects. However, if the level and attribute gap is too large, the interruption effect will have a certain probability of failure.

"That was a close call. If she had been hit by that thing just now, 'Xia Li' might have really died."

Ryan also put away his careless thoughts. He was not the only one who had relics. Although the methods for the extraordinary people in this world to obtain relics were not as easy as his, high-level extraordinary people would always have one or two treasures.

I almost capsized in the ditch.

However, the opponent was already at the end of his strength. After the arrow was avoided, he had lost the chance to turn the tables.

With the assistance of the soul singer 'Vine', the archer's speed advantage was gone, and he fell into a disadvantage in the battle with 'Charlie'.

On the other side, the army led by 'Weinei' attacked from the flank and surrounded the Red Tiger Guard.

"The fighting ability is not good enough."

If the extraordinary people had the advantage, then the battle between the armies would be a completely opposite picture.

The Red Tiger Guards are worthy of being able to compete with the Iron Blood Army. The quality of their soldiers is much stronger than that of the city defense army on Ryan's side. It was obviously their plan to encircle the enemy, but the result was hilarious. They couldn't even encircle the enemy and were even pushed back during the fight.

However, as time went on, the effect of the war field became more and more obvious, and the stimulating effect of the "war" will greatly made up for the gap between the two armies.

After a melee that lasted nearly three hours, the situation finally turned from an advantage to a defeat for the Red Tiger Guard. Finally, the Red Tiger Guard officer sounded the retreat and led the remaining troops to withdraw from the Alta grassland at the cost of more than 6,000 casualties.

However, 'Xia Li's' side also suffered a bitter victory, with conservative estimates of casualties exceeding 5,000, even though the extraordinary people on their side had the upper hand.

Ryan secretly shook his head. Without the Blood Knight 'Xia Li', this battle would be a 100% loss.

"If we continue fighting like this, even if we can capture the southern border, it will be useless. The army will be wiped out, and we will only occupy the territory in name only."

The army's output speed was far from enough. Ryan found that he could not take over the southern border by himself. Otherwise, he would have to wait for another two months, develop first, store food, and then become king.

Ask the Grand Duke to come and share the spoils?

That won’t work either. The Grand Duke is busy fighting the Western Barbarians right now, and if she makes a move, the remaining Red Tiger Guards will follow.

If both sides join the battlefield, he will not be able to take the initiative.

After much deliberation, Ryan decided to mobilize a part of the puppet army first, not too many, five hundred would be enough.

Hainuo gave him a total of more than 1,100 puppets, of which more than 900 were above level three and level four, nearly 200 were level five, and only two were level six.

Because they are consumables, Ryan is reluctant to take them all out. In case he needs to attack the imperial capital in the future, this amount will actually not be enough.

"Maybe I should get a puppeteer."

Puppeteers have nothing to do with alchemy, but they can also make puppets, and the puppets they make are even better than those made by alchemists.

Alchemy is to burn rune arrays to produce effects, while the puppeteer can be directly controlled through professional characteristics. The two can also be combined, but the puppeteer is also a hidden profession and is extremely difficult to obtain. It belongs to the profession of the Spirit of Chaos and cannot be found in the entire Augustus Empire.

Ryan threw the storage bag containing the puppet into Xia Li's backpack and let her use it according to the situation.

After another day, the train arrived at its destination, "Mail City".

The city of Mail is located southeast of the city of Child in Maganna. It takes about half a day's train ride to get there. After getting off the train, Ryan spent another three hours on the road before arriving at the inner world of the chaotic space.

He asked the accompanying soldiers to stay far away, and when they arrived at the crack of the inner world, they saw 'Lin Qi' who was waiting for them.

"Hi~ Miss Lin Qi, good afternoon."

Ryan raised his hand and greeted with a smile.

Lin Qi hummed.

She is still so cold, but I feel that the wife's charm value has increased again. Ryan opened the attributes and saw that it was already 19 points. It has indeed increased again.

Damn, how can a nun get such a high Charm score?

"have you eaten?"

He said yes.

Ryan spread his hands.

I'll let you pick it with 'Xia Li' later, and I want to see if you can still keep that indifferent face.

But now comes the important matter.

This crack in the inner world is very remote and shows signs of shrinking. Once the crack is completely merged, it will be difficult to find this place. This is also the main reason why Ryan rushed here.

Because the time and space of the chaotic space are different from those of the outside world, sometimes you can enter through a crack in the inner world and come out from the other side, maybe you can cross half of the empire.

However, no one has been able to correctly grasp the situation in the inner world so far, so basically you can exit the same place you entered.

Once lost in it, one will be corroded by the will of the chaotic space and turned into a demon.

The two entered the crack, with Lin Qi leading the way.

The sky is gray and the earth is as barren as a desert.

Because there were no demons, the journey was smooth. Ryan arrived outside the gray vortex in about half an hour.

He checked his backpack and found two bottles of 'Wake-Up Potion' inside.

After making sure everything was alright, Ryan held Lin Qi's hand, and the two of them stepped into the vortex together.

'Lin Qi' is certain to get out. She is protected by Janus, and it is safer with her.

"At critical moments, I still have to rely on my first wife...Lin Qi, you are my favorite."

"..."

"..."

A chaotic turbulence passed by him, and Ryan's feet felt light, as if he was stepping on air. It was not known how long it took for his vision to become clear.

You discovered an old battlefield.

Ancient memories are deposited in the shattered space. Here, time seems to have stopped. The chaotic disorder almost makes you lose yourself. Just as you are about to call out Janus' name, you suddenly feel the old memories flooding back to your companions.

A new message popped up on Lin Qi's character interface.

Companion? Me?

It's really different.

Ryan looked around. Just like the last time Lin Qi came in, it was all grey and he couldn't see anything. But he found that after he entered this space, his magic power actually started to work automatically.

He seemed to have noticed something, spread out his hands, and took out the cross sword that had been hidden in his body.

The sword floated in the air, emitting a faint light in the gray space.

After a while, it moved and floated forward.

Ryan stroked his chin and followed the Cross Sword with Lin Qi by his hand.

【The power of the old times is becoming more and more apparent.】

'Janus, leave it here, leave it here...'

"But time and space have blocked its trace. Who can take it away?"

"One day, I will grant the power of God's Chosen to those who walk the path of time and space."

Fragmented images reappeared.

You hear the echoes of time and space.

【You have gained a ray of Janus's power.】

"Hmm? Chosen by God?"
