The terrifying power erupted, leaving him no room to resist. He was propelled backward by the spear for over a hundred meters, crashing through more than ten towering trees that a single person could not encircle.
The helmet then gave way under the strain and was pierced by the spear, pinning it to a tree.
"Ouch—it hurts so much!!! You damn bastard, what is that thing? A golem?"
Shalltear's slightly manic question, through the armor pierced by the Cleanse Throwing Gun and the Droplet Spear, clearly revealed that it was empty.
Unlike her previous attire, which resembled that of a noble lady, Shalltear, emerging from the mushroom cloud, was dressed more like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
She wore a full suit of crimson armor stained with blood, the helmet's face section open, shaped like a swan's head, with bird-like feathers extending from the left and right. Bird wings adorned her chest and shoulders, and a bright red skirt was wrapped around her waist.
It was the legendary weapon that Peroroncino had specially equipped for Shalltear—a crimson full-body armor.
Based on the attack just now, Shalltear judged that the opponent was very strong, most likely a character above level 80, and needed to be taken seriously.
So they charged out fully armed.
"How can it be……"
Without answering Shalltear's question, the Platinum Dragon King stared at her blankly.
It's not that I was bewitched by her beauty, it's just that I found it hard to believe.
It took the damage of a massive explosion, even though it was a weakened version. The power wasn't reduced much, only the range was smaller. It was impossible for it to be completely unharmed.
This is a top-tier primordial magic that can be ranked alongside Soul Extinction Breath!
But Shalltear appeared completely unharmed, her vitality no less than before, as if she were completely immune to the effects of the explosion.
In reality, the Platinum Dragon King had misunderstood the situation.
Shalltear was not unharmed; for a moment, her health even dropped to less than half.
It's just that after being injured, it recovered almost instantly.
The effect of the [Cup of Xu Gui'eya] is that as long as you possess this item, you will be perfectly immune to all negative statuses, including dizziness, serious injury, disability, limb amputation, blindness, deafness and other negative statuses.
Therefore, although Shalltear was located at the center of the explosion, her lost limbs were restored almost instantly.
In reality, it's just like the health bar dropping; it's almost completely unaffected by anything else.
As for the damage caused by instantaneous attacks, it is the least of Shalltear's worries, because she possesses a special skill called Time Reversal.
It can cause damage received for a certain period of time to be converted into stamina and returned to Shalltear's body, completely losing its effect, as if time has been reversed.
Like the Cleanse Throwing Gun, Time Reversal also has a limit of three uses per day, but if used well, it can instantly restore you to full health even if you are down to a sliver of health.
It's almost like having three extra lives.
Of course, no one can ever push things to that extreme.
Chapter Forty-Four: The Righteous Man
"Won't you answer?"
Looking at the platinum armor that she had pinned to the tree silently, Shalltear's voice grew increasingly impatient.
Although she had pierced the opponent's entire head with a spear, which would normally leave the opponent completely dead, Shalltear knew that her attack had caused almost no significant damage.
Shalltear doesn't have the brains to analyze things by touch or by examining the opponent's empty interior.
It was simply because she possessed a magic called Life Essence, which could roughly determine the other party's life value, and at this moment, in her vision, the other party was emitting a rich green light symbolizing life.
"Then go to hell!"
If it were Demiurge, or someone like Suzuki Satoru or Pandora who is more inclined to think things through, and if they judged that the opponent's strength was insufficient to subdue them and there was no possibility of torture, they might try to probe through words.
This is to try to obtain as much intelligence as possible.
At the very least, we will obtain the other party's name, which will serve as a basis for further investigation.
Even in combat, they will use various skills to probe for the opponent's weaknesses or find a fighting style that counters the opponent.
However, Shalltear was a military officer and not good with words.
When faced with such a stubborn individual who couldn't be forced to confess, her decision was quite simple and brutal; she didn't even bother asking for his name.
If you can't kill them by piercing, then dismember them into pieces!
With that thought in mind, Shalltear pulled the dropper spear out of the platinum armor's head, preparing to attack again.
Although she possesses a considerable amount of magic, special skills have limited usage counts, and she herself doesn't have much magic power. Furthermore, her class and race excel in melee combat, making it unwise to turn the battle into a mid-range attrition war using magic.
However, before her attack could land, the first formal speech since its appearance came from inside the platinum armor.
"The world is cut off from the barrier."
Centered on itself, a wave that seemed to shake the air spread out, interrupting Shalltear's attack and forming a semi-transparent hemispherical passport that held back the surrounding area for several kilometers.
The mid-tier primal magic, [World Severance Barrier], creates a barrier that completely blocks internal and external interference, impenetrable by both physical and magical means.
Those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in.
In other words, creating a realm where no one can escape and no outsiders can interfere—that is, a deathmatch.
Of course, nothing is absolute. If one has enough power to break through this barrier, then one can leave at will.
Furthermore, as a primordial magic, it possesses some characteristics of world items. Therefore, if someone possesses a world item, they will not be affected by the barrier and can freely enter and exit.
Of course, given Shalltear's personality, she wouldn't have noticed this.
The Platinum Dragon King unleashed this primordial magic with the intention of killing Shalltear right here!
After all, the importance of World Items goes without saying, and the opponent is an extremely powerful and evil monster. The Platinum Dragon King, who had experienced the chaos of the Eight Greed Kings, believed that it must be eliminated here.
Although he judged that his opponent was a max-level player, the Platinum Dragon King, who was controlling the armor, did not think that he had no chance of winning.
They even felt that they had the advantage and a high chance of winning.
In a battle, the stronger one always wins; rather, the stronger one wins.
Having fought fierce battles with players and adventured alongside them as companions, the Platinum Dragon King is quite familiar with their situation.
Therefore, it is known that most of them possess extremely powerful strength.
However, judging from combat experience alone, it presents a very strange situation. It seems that the skills are well connected, but it seems that it does not have a particularly good understanding of the effects of the skills themselves.
Melee fighters often move rather stiffly, as if they're wielding their weapons with brute force.
Their fighting style is quite formulaic, and they are not good at being flexible and adaptable.
And clearly, the vampire in front of us is in this state, which is precisely the advantage of the platinum armor. He has extensive experience fighting against all kinds of opponents, and even if he dies, it's not a big deal.
It's just a matter of making another set of armor.
Although the world's magical consumption means he can't just do it casually, he could easily create ten or eight sets if he wanted to.
"Monster! I will protect the world and vanquish you here!"
With a brazen declaration reminiscent of a chuunibyou (delusional) champion of justice, the platinum armored warrior launched an attack on Shalltear.
Clang—Clang—Ping-pong—
The sounds of weapons clashing rang out continuously, sparking brilliant flashes in the night.
Of course, this is not the sparks produced by the friction of steel, but the result of the collision of magic attached to the weapons.
After all, when it comes down to it, although both sides fought like barbarians, swinging their hammers and sticks at each other, neither side was actually a proper warrior.
"Tch, damn metal, is it something like a marionette? Its level is probably between 80 and 90, a defensive specialist like the gorilla..."
0 ......
After sending the platinum armor flying once again, leaving a terrifying piercing hole, Shalltear wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
In the exchange of blows, although she maintained a firm upper hand and suppressed the opponent like an older sister beating a younger brother, Shalltear was not an NPC with a defense specialization, so she inevitably suffered some injuries.
The dropper gun seemed to have failed at this moment, not extracting any health points at all.
Considering her health was quite good, using supplies would be wasteful, so Shalltear didn't do anything about it.
Although she is not good at thinking, it doesn't mean that Shalltear is stupid. At least she has basic thinking ability and some common sense.
The opponent's fighting style and those bizarre movements were enough for her to make some basic judgments.
Despite being dressed as a heavily armored warrior, the Platinum Armorer fought like a sword immortal, with three weapons hovering in mid-air, constantly swinging, thrusting, and slashing at Shalltear.
Of course, he didn't choose to remain still to show off, but instead gripped the ornate greatsword and engaged in close combat with Shalltear.
Shalltear has used some magic during this time, but none of it has been particularly effective, so she has simply stuck to hand-to-hand combat until now.
Chapter 45 The Burden of Wadokana
Shalltear couldn't understand why her opponent, who clearly possessed spellcasting abilities and could even create wide-area protective shields, hadn't used any other magic.
There was no splattered blood, no painful screams, not even the slightest reaction, and it was both smelly and hard.
Without a doubt, the other person was the type that Shalltear hated the most.
Although there is a skill like Heroic Spirit that can easily change the status quo, it is used against an opponent who was already being suppressed by him and had only managed to survive this long because he was tanky enough.
Shalltear felt it was not worth it at all, even nine-tenths.
So, after venting her initial anger, Shalltear made a very important decision—
Shake people!
If the mission fails and causes trouble, Shalltear will absolutely not call for reinforcements, because in her shallow thinking, doing so would be equivalent to losing the supreme ruler's favor.
But now, she believes she has completed the task quite well and has nothing to be ashamed of.
And there were also some great unexpected gains!
The world item had little to do with her mission, but it was undoubtedly a huge contribution.
The prerequisite is to bring the world item back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
To prevent any further complications and to perfectly seize this immense wealth, Shalltear decided to send a congratulatory telegram directly to her beloved Lord Nidhogg.
Firstly, it allows the other party to know immediately that it is your achievement, and secondly, it ensures that the achievement is implemented without any setbacks.
With that in mind, Shalltear gave orders to the two vampire brides who couldn't get involved.
"My maidservant immediately relayed the message to Lord Nidhogg that he had obtained a world item and needed support."
