Chapter 361: The Desperate Ramsey

Luoning led Ruidar and rushed out of the castle quickly.

"My lord, our speed cannot catch up to him."

"No matter, he is still within my perception."

As everyone knows, a Magus can enhance the power of magic, and a Great Archmage's enhancement goes even further.

The Detection Wind that Luoning is currently casting has a perception range of nearly two thousand meters.

After leaving the castle, the assassin did not continue to use Wind Instant Step; although separated by alleys and streets, he did not leave Luoning's perception range.

"I will now raise your strength to the Meteor level."

The reason Luoning called for Ruidar was to prevent any accidents.

He summoned the other's Attribute Panel and invested 363 points of Energy Essence into him.

Ruidar's whole body shuddered, and the pain from the wounds he had just sustained seemed to be alleviated.

His Qi Sea widened further, and the Battle Qi within surged, also undergoing a qualitative change.

Having just entered the Meteor level, Ruidar might not yet be the assassin's match, but at least he would not be crushed in a single move.

Luoning's Energy Essence currently has 4137 points remaining.

Although he cannot immediately let Aierlong break through to become a Magus, he only needs to wait until the twenty-first of next month to have enough saved up.

At that time, if Aierlong can truly solve Lulansi's problem after breaking through, it will not delay Luoning from giving the old man a surprise at his birthday banquet on the twenty-eighth.

What's more, Anbian City is too dangerous.

If he doesn't give Ruidar some protection, Luoning would not have time to regret it if an accident happened.

Whoosh!

Wind pressure descended suddenly, and a black shadow landed not far in front of the two.

"Master, you called me."

Kaierluosi had originally been sleeping on a mountaintop, but unexpectedly, he was awakened by Luoning's repeated calls.

Based on his understanding of this master, if the other party didn't have an urgent matter, it would be impossible to look for him so late.

Luoning took Ruidar and mounted the dragon's back.

In the high altitude under the night sky, he could perceive the assassin's direction, and Kaierluosi could see it directly.

The city was clearly not a good place for a battle; doing so would not only cause innocent casualties, but I fear it would also let the dragon be known to the world.

Therefore, Luoning followed all the way until he saw the assassin slip into the woodland.

Within his perception, three other strong and powerful life fluctuations came from there.

It seems the assassin was not alone.

In the woods, Angusi saw Ramsey return covered in blood and was immediately surprised and uneasy.

"How did you get injured?"

While going up to support him, he guessed and asked: "Did Luoning have a Meteor Knight guarding him, or does he have a powerful Spell Scroll or Magic Cannon?"

Angusi could only think of these two possibilities.

Ramsey refused the support; his injuries had not reached the point where he could not walk.

"The assassination failed; that Luoning is a Meteor Knight!"

Angusi nodded and said to himself: "It seems Lulansi values Luoning too much, to actually arrange for a Meteor Knight to act as a guard."

But just after finishing this sentence, he froze, then widened his eyes.

"What did you say? Luoning is a Meteor Knight? You aren't mistaken, are you!"

Ramsey panted heavily.

When leaving Anbian Castle, he had sensed the other party following behind, but after running for a distance, he could no longer perceive him, so it could be considered a narrow escape from the tracking.

"You don't need to doubt it; I was even more shocked than you at the time."

He took off his mask and looked at the scars on his arms and thighs with a weary face, "The wounds on my body were caused by him."

"This is too terrifying!"

Angusi could not believe it, "If my intelligence is correct, Luoning is only eighteen, right? A Meteor Knight of this age—is he the reincarnation of Orland the Great?"

"Don't say that, it really is possible."

Ramsey was slightly helpless and mocking; he finally knew why the previous assassinations had all failed.

"Let's not linger here; let's go back early and tell the Count about this matter, and see how he handles it."

They had always wanted to annex the Wushan Territory, but they never expected Wushan Castle to have raised such a monster.

How to act next needs to be carefully considered.

The two immediately mounted their Griffins, soared into the air, and took advantage of the night to quickly leave this woodland.

The moment Luoning saw the Griffins, he knew the other party's identity.

"Hehe, Ramsey, it really is you!"

Regarding a Meteor Knight approaching Anbian City, the first person Luoning thought of was Ramsey of Yueguang Valley.

Possessing Griffins, they also had the time to come over from Yueguang Valley to assassinate him.

"Kaierluosi, enter high altitude and follow them."

Luoning commanded: "We will make our move once we reach the wilderness."

"Very well, Master!"

Kaierluosi flapped his wings and rose rapidly into the air; his speed was faster than the Griffins, so he was not afraid of losing them.

"Master, leave those two little birds to me to deal with later; consider it my midnight snack."

"That won't do!"

Luoning laughed and scolded: "These two Griffins cannot be killed; it is best to capture them alive, I have a use for them."

Although Bruno promised to gift a few Griffins at the time of the wedding, Luoning certainly wouldn't mind having more of these.

Even if he couldn't use them, the Knights under his command could.

"Ruidar, your mount has been settled."

Upon hearing this, Ruidar revealed a smile.

Which Knight wouldn't want to possess a flying mount?

They dared not dream of the Lord's dragon, but they were extremely eager for flying Magic Beasts like Griffins or Dragon Hawks.

The flying Magic Beast was extremely fast, quickly leaving the range of Anbian City, and after skimming over the villages to the south, it arrived above a stretch of wilderness.

Luoning was drawing a very complex Spell Pattern; it not only had curves but was also accompanied by many fluctuating forms.

Whoosh!

Wind Element surged behind Luoning, and a pair of light, dreamlike wings appeared.

This was precisely the Level 7 Magic, Wind Wings.

Ruidar looked at the thin wings; his Lord not only had a dragon mount but also mastered flight magic, which couldn't help but make him envious.

"Alright, time to move!"

Luoning shouted in a deep voice: "Kaierluosi, dive down!"

"You got it!"

Kaierluosi tucked in his wings, and his massive dragon body dove downward.

Awoo~

The resonant dragon roar shook the night sky, and all the birds and beasts in the mountains trembled upon hearing it.

"What is that sound?"

Angusi, on the back of the Griffin, only felt his scalp go numb, and goosebumps broke out all over his skin.

He had never heard a sound that made him so uneasy.

Lamu felt his heart tighten; he felt a constant sense of unease.

Just then, a violent whistling of wind arrived, "It's above!"

He suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking violently.

"Ah!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

Watching the hideous dragon head drawing closer and closer, both men were terrified out of their wits, and the Griffin beneath them even shrieked as it fell downward.

It was said that Griffins possessed the bloodline of dragons.

In the presence of a real dragon, Dragon Might affected their actions.

Lamu and Angusi had been masters of the Griffins for many years, and only by trying their best to soothe them were they barely able to maintain their flight posture.

"Surprised, are you?"

Luoning detached from the dragon and dove down; the light wings allowed him to move with agility and ease in the air.

He thrust the Yanliu Sword out, and before Angusi could react, he was pierced through the heart.

"No!"

He roared in terror, but was kicked away by Luoning, falling from a height of several hundred meters.

"It's you, Luoning!"

Lamu's voice was filled with panic and fear.

The events of this night had continuously shattered his psychological perception.

At this moment, looking at the thin wings on the other's back, this was clearly the Wind Wings magic that only a Great Archmage could use.

Could it be that the young man before him was not only a Meteor Knight but also a Level 7 Great Magus?

And what was that massive monster flying in the air?

This, this, this, this was too terrifying.

"Must leave quickly!"

At this very moment, Lamu no longer thought about how to deal with Luoning or care about whether Angusi lived or died; he controlled the Griffin, attempting to escape from here at the fastest speed possible.

"Kaierluosi, I'll leave it to you."

Luoning's flight speed was not as fast as the Griffin's; he did not pursue, but instead landed on the back of the Griffin Angusi had been riding, attempting to control it.

"It's no use, the speed in the air is no match for this monster!"

Lamu's Griffin was slightly more Advanced than Angusi's, but it was still no match for a dragon.

Helpless, he could only descend from the clouds, leap off the Griffin's back, and dive into the Shanlin, attempting to escape.

Ruidar also immediately jumped off the dragon's back and gave chase.

While running, he quickly unleashed a wave of Battle Qi, wanting to interfere with the other's movements.

"Seeking death!"

Lamu was incomparably furious; Luoning was one thing, but where did this Golden Knight get the guts to chase him?

"Since Luoning values you, I'll kill you first to make him suffer!"

Perhaps driven to desperation and anger by a series of failures, Lamu actually turned back; after shattering the Battle Qi impact, he charged toward Ruidar to kill him.

With a loud clang, the two men's longswords collided.

The one-sided situation Lamu had anticipated did not occur.

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to see if you still have the strength for it now."

Ruidar launched an extremely fierce attack; his sword was faster than Luoning's sword.

Lamu responded in haste, while internally screaming: "Who can tell me, what on earth is going on?"

The Golden Knight, who just a moment ago had been sent flying by his single strike and was completely powerless to fight back, could suppress him in the blink of an eye?

Ramsey only felt that this world seemed somewhat absurd.

At this moment, Luoning handed the two Griffins over to Kaierluosi to deal with, while he himself arrived near the battlefield, watching Ruidar and Ramsey fighting together.

"After advancing to Meteor, Ruidar's swordsmanship has become even more extraordinary."

The sword technique was exquisite, and the key lay in the control of the attack rhythm and the capture of details; in this regard, Luoning still needed to learn much from Ruidar.

"I'll also send you a little gift to liven things up."

Luoning cast the Wind Tentacle Magic.

The Wind Elements around Ramsey obeyed Luoning's call, condensing into four Wind Tentacles that entangled the opponent's four limbs.

"Damn it!"

Ramsey was startled and hurriedly tried to break free with force, but his movements became slightly sluggish.

In a battle between experts, as long as the opponent can seize the opportunity, this trace of sluggishness is extremely dangerous!

Ruidar accurately captured this opportunity, parried the opponent's longsword, broke through the opponent's Battle Qi Armor, and pierced into the opponent's shoulder blade.

Ramsey let out a miserable cry and was knocked to the ground by the immense force carried by this sword, the flowing blood staining half of his body red.

When he tried to stand up again, the cold blade was already pressed against his throat. (End of chapter)
