After lying like this on the root of the tree for about a minute, Morgiana stood up leaning on the parasitic vines on the tree, then supported the big tree and moved reluctantly. Her long skirt was in tatters and the woolen coat outside was full of holes.
Her waist was bleeding all the time, and she managed to move a few steps while holding on to the big tree. All her strength was used up immediately. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down.
Holding the parasitic vine tightly with both hands, Morgiana reluctantly leaned against the big tree. The wound on her waist was constantly oozing blood. The power of the vampire's curse was seeping into her body along the wound. If she was in her prime, she
These curses can be banished, but now she can only endure them.
"Hmm~" Blood flowed down the wound on her waist, soaking her dress and staining her stockings red. Morgiana knew that she was facing a painful choice.
Should we risk being discovered and search for rescue, or should we find a place to hide and wait for help?
No matter which one it is, Morgiana knows that it is full of dangers. She will definitely not be able to hold on for long as she continues to lose blood and becomes increasingly weak.
After only teleporting a little over a thousand years, she was left with very little time to choose. Morgiana leaned against the tree and breathed softly. She felt that her body was sliding down and her vision was gradually blurring.
No, you can only wait for death if you hide! The Lake Witch gently bit the tip of her tongue with her teeth. The weak pain restored her energy. Morgiana hung the parasitic vine and forced herself to take steps.
It's dawn, and the pure morning light penetrates the leaves, leaving only a little light and shadow when it shines into the forest. The forest is filled with mist in the early morning. Morgiana's charming face is very anxious. Her current state is very...
Too bad, and the sun can easily expose her
In the position, low-level blood-sucking creatures or vampires are afraid of the sun. That is because they are afraid of the sun god Petra, while high-level vampires are not so afraid of the sun. Unfortunately, Manfred is a high-level vampire, and he is still the same person he once was.
Vampire leader.
She reluctantly took a step, her sore legs couldn't exert any strength, and the dew soaked Morgiana's long skirt, making her steps heavier.
"Sand~sand~" the sound of something passing through the bushes came from the front!
Who is it?
She couldn't care less! Morgiana threw herself out directly. Her legs weakened and she fell from a height along the slope under the roots of the big tree.
What caught her eyes was the figure of a young Holy Grail Knight. He was wearing exquisite silver full-body plate armor, holding a war hammer, and was walking through the bushes. He had black hair, blue eyes, and wings spread out on his chest.
The badge explains his identity.
"Ryan?"
Morgiana's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the Lake God Witch let out a breath, and then she fell down from the air.
"Morgiana!" Ryan immediately rushed over and caught the falling Witch of the Lake God. He held her against his chest. Seeing that Morgiana was in very bad condition, Ryan quickly asked: "What's going on?
How did you become like this?"
"Ryan... how did you... find me?" Morgiana spoke weakly, and the lake witch's green eyes were filled with regret and relief.
"I saw you alone came to negotiate with the tree spirit, so I followed you because I was worried about your safety. As a result, I met the injured Hilfaen on the road. It told me that you were in danger! Then I felt my seal being sealed.
It was opened, so I came here overnight." Ryan picked up Morgiana, and the God-chosen champion's face was very anxious: "You are hurt so badly! I can't feel the magic power from you! What happened?
"
"The dryad... betrayed me, and the vampire... wants to sacrifice me to... Nagash." Morgiana said extremely weakly. Ryan immediately took out the precious potion brought by the wood elf and applied it to the lake god.
The witch's injured waist was first stopped bleeding.
"The vampire... will be chasing you soon... Ryan, be careful..." After using her last strength to say these words, Morgiana fainted.
"Your Highness Morgiana!" Ryan gently shook the fragile body of the Lake God Witch. After confirming that she was still alive, he placed her behind the big tree. The chosen champion frowned: "Vampire?"
Ryan immediately felt that an evil force was approaching, so he walked out from behind the big tree. After only two steps, Manfred's figure appeared in the distance a hundred meters away. The vampire count held a hook in one hand.
Sickle, holding the Blade of Blasphemy in one hand, his black and red cursed armor covered with human heads, and the two giant thorns behind him covered with skulls, was a little stunned when he saw a Holy Grail Knight appearing here.
The cunning vampire count immediately thought that a Holy Grail Knight came to save Morgiana, but seeing Ryan looking so young and calm, Manfred was a little unsure. In his opinion, Morgiana was seriously injured and her magic power
There was nothing and it was difficult to move. How could she send out the signal for help? Even if there was some magic left in the end, she used it to escape. There was no way that the Holy Grail Knight would appear here so quickly.
So he tried: "What an unlucky day, I actually met a Holy Grail Knight in the forest. You are lucky, Holy Grail Knight, I am not your enemy, I just passed by here, for the sake of your goddess,
I have no intention of fighting you."
The light of morning light shone on Ryan's face. His face was very calm, and he was secretly thinking that this vampire count must have come to hunt down Morgiana, but he didn't know that Morgiana was nearby.
So Ryan also tried: "What a glorious day. I have just completed a pilgrimage to a sacred place. Lily Island has witnessed the glory of the late king. The lady has sent me such an opponent, a vampire, to accept my challenge."
Let’s go! The ladies’ chosen champion, Ryan Macado, challenges you!”
After saying that, Ryan took out a white glove from his arms and threw it towards Manfred.
Damn it! He is a patient with chivalry! The vampire count knew that there must be a battle between him and Ryan. Manfred raised his sword: "I don't want to fight you, Holy Grail Knight!"
"For the lady!" Ryan didn't care so much. He looked like a young and reckless young man. He raised his war hammer and rushed towards Manfred.
It seems that this Holy Grail Knight does not know about Morgiana. Now the vampire count has no choice. Manfred directly chanted a powerful spell, and a ball of violent red and black energy poured out from in front of it, and then
Rush directly towards Ryan's location.
Nagash's gaze!
Ryan dodged suddenly to avoid the violent spell energy. The undead magic blasted a big hole in the forest land. All the bushes and trees within one meter of where the spell landed were corroded into a charred black color.
.
Ryan turned around. He seemed unaware. The lady's chosen champion strode towards where Manfred was. His steps were extremely fast, and he could reach a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
The cunning vampire count then determined that Ryan really didn't know about Morgiana. If he wanted to protect something, he would definitely not let the spell explode. Manfred roared: "Hand over your head!
Knight of the Holy Grail!”
"Go to hell! Midnight Noble!" Ryan's warhammer shining with white flames hit Manfred's chest directly, erupting with unparalleled power.
Manfred hurriedly fought back. As soon as the blasphemy blade and the war hammer clashed, the terrifying power coming from the blade told the vampire count that he could not forcefully fight. He quickly took a few steps back, and then chanted a death spell: "Darkness"
despair!"
This is an advanced spell mastered by vampires. Its soul will release powerful energy, frightening the enemy, eroding fighting spirit, and spreading panic.
"Spell dispelling!" Ryan raised his left hand, and the light blue spiritual energy gathered out, disrupting Manfred's condensing magic structure. Then he took advantage of the interruption of the vampire count to approach again, and the war hammer swept across
, Manfred had to turn over to avoid it, and a giant tree that was several decades old was directly smashed by Ryan and collapsed.
What a powerful Holy Grail Knight! Manfred felt a little nervous when he saw this scene. He had only heard of Ryan's name not long ago, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first.
The vampire count has lived for thousands of years. He has faced countless powerful enemies. Naturally, he has also fought against the Holy Grail Knight. But this is the first time he has seen such a powerful Holy Grail Knight. Manfred waved his hook and sickle horizontally.
, swept directly towards Ryan's neck, and then the blasphemous blade thrust diagonally upward from the lower right towards Ryan's left chest, about to penetrate Ryan.
Ryan waved his left hand and directly held the hook sickle. The head of his war hammer hit the blade of the Blasphemy Blade. The force was so great that Manfred couldn't hold his sword. Ryan's war hammer moved upwards, intending to
Attack Manfred's head.
But the vampire count chanted the next spell: "Curse of Time!"
An ancient spell came out of Manfred's mouth. This spell contained the accusations and jealousies of countless wronged souls towards the living. Ryan did not dare to directly answer it, so he had to give up the offensive and immediately ducked away. The purple-black spell came from Manfred.
Fred sprayed out of his mouth, flew past Ryan's ribs, and hit a big tree.
The next scene opened up Ryan's eyes. In the eyes of the Holy Grail Knight, this vigorous tree quickly grew old, dried up, became necrotic, broke, and turned into a dead tree.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Manfred chanted another spell, a seven-ring undead spell to drive away the undead.
There are no corpses in the forest, and the vampire count cannot summon a zombie army or a skeleton army to fight for him, but it doesn't matter, Manfred von Carstein is proficient in all necromancy spells, and his whole body is full of necromantic energy.
The dead animal skeletons and even forest spirits dug out of the ground and broke away from the trees at his call.
He wants to summon the Cairn Wraith and the Wraith Knight!
Of course Ryan would not let him succeed. The God-chosen champion pulled out the Nemesis from his back and raised it to the sky: "Group dispersal!"
The shining light of psychic energy swept across the spirit army summoned by Count Vampire, and the enslaved animal souls and spirits immediately broke free from Manfred's shackles and scattered away.
Damn it! Arkhan didn't tell me that there was a Holy Grail Knight who could dispel magic! Manfred's efforts failed. The vampire count gritted his teeth and stared at Ryan who was confronting him with his silver eyes.
"Ugh!" The Vampire Count roared angrily and fought with Ryan again. The blasphemy blade formed a dark light at a speed that could hardly be caught by the naked eye, and stabbed towards Ryan repeatedly.
"For the lady!" Ryan held a hammer in one hand and a sword in the other. He roared like a lion, showing off his fighting skills to the fullest. The white flames on the goddess of vengeance burned extremely brightly, with a power that vampires could not look directly at.
And sacred, sometimes lightning explodes on the war hammer, sometimes flames spurt out, and sometimes violent winds surround it.
The God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake relied on her powerful strength to fight evenly with Manfred, who was powerful in the sanctuary. The forest where the two were located turned into scorched earth.
"Bang!" After a clash of swords, Manfred looked at the gap in the blade of blasphemy with a sullen face. Undead energy poured in, and the blade of blasphemy was repaired as new immediately. Then he raised his hand and struck again.
Remembering Nagash's gaze, Ryan sheathed his sword to resist. After being knocked back several meters, he roared and tore the energy beam into pieces.
Unlike Vlad von Carstein, the leader of the Carstein family, Manfred is closer to a mage than a warrior. His melee strength is good, but what is more powerful is that he is proficient in all the death and undead systems.
Facing Ryan's constant dispelling of his undead summoning spells and Ryan's own super high magic resistance, Manfred has always had an uncomfortable feeling that he cannot use his power. If he cannot summon the undead servants, he must get entangled with Ryan.
In the fight, this is what Ryan wants.
"All the undead must be purified, and all the dead must be buried in the cemetery, and you are no exception." Ryan has abundant physical energy, Manfred is powerful, and the vampire count has a certain advantage, but in a short period of time, he
Can't beat Ryan.
"Eight-ring magic, Zereth's purple evil sun!" Manfred released powerful magic, and a purple-black ball more than ten meters tall appeared out of thin air as he chanted, and everything in the forest where he passed was destroyed.
Crystallizing, the magic vortex destroys everything in its path.
Ryan moved laterally, ran away quickly, and rolled sideways to avoid Manfred's spell.
It's now! The summoning spell of Count Vampire has taken effect. A giant zombie dragon flashed out from the distant sky. The powerful black magic has penetrated into the bone marrow of these ancient dragon bones. The dead dragon opened its mouth and spit out something full of blood.
A dragon's breath filled with filth and destructive power.
"Psychic storm!" The light blue psychic energy in Ryan's eyes condensed and then sublimated. More than a dozen lightning bolts shot out from his body, fighting against the zombie dragon's breath. The zombie dragon took the opportunity to fly past low altitude, kicking up a lot of dust.
By the time Ryan dispersed the dust, Manfred was already standing on the dragon's back: "Interesting, Holy Grail Knight, God's Chosen Champion Ryan Malcador? I remember you, your little thoughts can't be hidden from me,
Let’s meet again next time.”
After saying that, the zombie dragon spread its rotten wings and flew away into the distance.
Ryan stood silent. Five seconds later, the Emperor's Imperial Guards with golden helmets appeared from the depths of the forest. Two Imperial Guards holding Guardian Halberds and Sentinel Swords rushed to Ryan's side. They saw
Looking at the messy battlefield: "Your Highness Ryan?"
"What a cunning guy. I originally wanted to keep him." Seeing the two Imperial Guards appearing, Ryan put away his sword and sighed: "He must have noticed that you were approaching, so he retreated immediately... That's right.
, according to the history of the empire, Manfred is notoriously cunning, and he will not be easily calculated and fall into a trap."
The Emperor's Forbidden Forces did not have vehicles. They rushed over immediately after receiving Ryan's summons. Lane's original plan was that he would hold off the vampire count, and then wait for the Imperial Guards to arrive and leave Manfred here. But Manfred
It was indeed too cunning, and Ryan's plan failed.
"Forget it, we can't catch up with the flying ones, let's retreat." Ryan returned behind the big tree and picked up the unconscious Morgiana: "Her Highness Morgiana needs treatment, we will return to Jean's territory immediately
."
"Lai... um?" Feeling herself being picked up, the Lake God Witch woke up leisurely.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, my highness." Ryan whispered, seeing Morgiana's condition, he was very sad.
"It doesn't matter, you're here...that's enough..." (To be continued)
