"Misfortune always descends from the heavens …"
I lowered my head and blinked. Even the corners of my eyes hurt from the wind caused by my sword. My opponent this time was indeed quite difficult to deal with.
The magic sword Sostya, also known as the "Snake Tail Whipper", was a God Equipment. And its effects were right before my very eyes …
I could hear the screams of ghosts and wolves. These were the screams of the vengeful spirits that died to this God Equipment. This God Equipment itself was a type of mental attack that targeted the soul. If you didn't have any defensive abilities in this area, or if you were distracted by it during an intense battle, then you would soon become one of these vengeful spirits.
As the battle progressed, the sword would make snake-like sounds and distort, and these vengeful spirits would get closer and closer to your mind. The moment you revealed an opening, the moment you began listening to their past, would be the moment of your death.
Yet, this was only the most inconspicuous aspect of this God Equipment of slaughter. Perhaps it should be said that far too many lives had died to this sword. Far too much hatred and resentment was wrapped around this sword, which was why it was cursed.
"Holy Light, allow these pitiful souls to return to peace."
The Light of Salvation materialized and fell on my head, turning into a crown of light.
The holy light above his head began to radiate in all directions. It was redeeming the dead souls. This was the light of salvation from the Lord of Redemption. The wronged souls that were contaminated by it screamed and fled. They either dissipated on the spot and reincarnated, or were forced back into the divine artifact.
Lasnina seemed to notice that her ability was countered. The next instant, she changed her combat style. Her magic sword suddenly shook several times in a row and lengthened yet again.
Then, all I could see was blood-red blades. Countless chains and blades were everywhere. Numerous black chains sealed off the entire sky. This magic sword was actually capable of creating a sword net that blocked off the entire sky.
"Holy Light, cleanse this cursed magic sword!"
I loudly shouted for Holy Light as I threw my battle hammer, which viciously collided with the magic sword's extended blade.
After this clash, it was Lasnina's turn to have an unpleasant expression.
She could feel that her divine weapon, the demonic sword, was wailing and crying for help! It was actually being permanently weakened with every clash!
"… This is Holy Light?"
Finally, Lasnina, who had attacked the moment they met, finally stopped. She spoke for the first time since she met me. However, the answer to her confusion was a spear of Holy Light that suddenly descended from the clouds and viciously exploded in front of her.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The continuous explosions showed the powerful attack power. This was the pure Holy Light!
I had "missed" my Holy Light spear earlier when I was chasing after Lasnina. However, I had actually thrown it in an arc with my mind control.
Now that Lasnina had stopped, I commanded her to charge down from the clouds and suddenly explode in front of Lasnina.
Lasnina was engulfed by a violent explosion that blew away the surrounding clouds.
I wasn't an idiot who would explain my ability to her. While she was distracted, I would naturally hit her first. A fixed target was much easier to hit than a moving one.
At this moment, just as Lasnina was wondering "Is this Holy Light?"
"Do you think I'll stop just because you say so? Where would I put my face then? "
Clang!
Suddenly, the pain in my back reminded me that I wasn't the only one who knew how to play dirty tricks! This woman actually launched a sneak attack from behind!
The chain sword of the snake's tail extended out from the clouds. Her demonic sword could actually be split up and could even attack automatically after being split up?
Are you trying to distract me by talking, and then use the snake blades in the clouds to hurt me? Sinister as expected!
"It's useless! It's useless! "
However, this was still useless against me. I turned around and grabbed my demonic sword. Holy Light flashed three times in a row, and all that was left was scrap metal without any spirituality.
"Tsk, a turtle shell. You chose the wrong opponent."
Lasnina walked out of the exploding clouds completely unscathed. It would seem that the previous exchange had only been an appetizer for both of us.
From a certain standpoint, she had indeed chosen the wrong opponent. At the very least, it would seem that my special abilities countered hers.
The most dangerous part about Sostya wasn't its ability to change and extend infinitely, nor was it the souls wailing on it. Rather, it was the blade itself.
Sostya's blade seemed to have been corroded by blood, so it wasn't particularly sharp. However, it was actually covered in devil's curse art. The bloodstains were actually magical runes created by souls.
In the hands of the Lord of Curses, Sostya's demonic sword was especially dangerous. Any physical body touched by Sostya's sword would instantly suffer from "aging", "soul-sucking", "dullness", "misfortune", and more than twenty other powerful curses. Even a God would be forcefully corrupted by Sostya's sword.
Yet, this was all meaningless to me …
"Roland, if you're a man, then take off your turtle shell!"
A beautiful woman's angry rebuke would always be quite powerful. However, I only wanted to laugh at Lasnina's words.
"Ha, your psychological methods are so bad that I'm wondering if you're a devil or not. You want me to take off my armor? Of course I can, but you should first throw down this sword. Then we can test if I'm a man or not? "
Alright then, what I got in response was a magic sword whip that suddenly increased in frequency. It would seem that Lasnina really didn't seem like a devil at all. She was able to explode with just a single sentence.
However, such an attack was still completely ineffective …
That's right, from the very start, I had the advantage because my full-body dragonscale ice armor, "Guardian of Yongye", had evolved to the SemiGod Equipment level.
No matter how vicious a sword's blade was, it would only be fatal if it actually injured someone. I had used half of my abilities in exchange for defense, so it wouldn't be so easy to break through. As long as my armor was broken, I would be undefeatable! Not only that, this living armor also had the ability to repair itself. The longer this battle dragged on, the more obvious my advantage would become.
Lasnina was indeed correct when she said that she "chose the wrong opponent". She probably saw how thick Little Red's dragon scales were and how high her magic resistance was, which was why she chose me since I wasn't wearing any armor. She didn't expect that I would be able to summon this heavy defensive armor at any time.
Meanwhile, Salor the Berserker Demon of Slaughter was also facing a troublesome opponent.
A famous veteran would indeed be quite amazing. However, while Salor could use his fame to suppress others, there was also the risk of information about his abilities being leaked. I had summoned my armor the moment I saw Lasnina's magic sword. Meanwhile, Little Red was extremely experienced in dealing with Salor's special ability.
Salor, the famous General of the Blood Wars, was just as famous as his physical characteristics. He was able to change the weight of an object just by touching it, making it heavier or lighter. He could even make sturdy armor as fragile as a piece of paper, or as sturdy as a city wall.
Although nobody knew how he was able to do this, this type of power was definitely the nemesis of melee job classes. It would be even easier for him to deal with gigantic beasts. Nobody would be able to stop him in a chaotic battle.
The moment that Little Red recognized her opponent, she unhesitatingly gave up on her stronger dragon form and transformed into her human form. She then began to show off her power as a fire and wind dual magic archmage.
Soaring magic, short-range accurate instantaneous movement, dragon wings buff, Flame Spray, Tornado Transformation, Rattlesnake Agitation … The high-speed Little Red used her half-dragon form with dragon wings to show off what it meant to have high mobility and what it meant to be a natural fighter.
Little Red's beautiful red figure kept appearing and disappearing in the sky. Every time the clumsy Salor chased after her, he would only see an afterimage. Then, he would be followed by a storm of flames and flames. Salor had already fallen to the ground twice. If it wasn't for the fact that he was sturdy enough, he would have been smashed to smithereens already.
Red dragons had a natural sense of space and aerial combat techniques. Salor still hadn't been able to touch his opponent. He had been getting beaten up the entire time!
"Yes, your special ability is quite powerful. You'll be able to kill me as long as you touch me. However, you should catch up to me first." Little Red was using her actions to provoke Salor.
Salor had already met a highly mobile opponent before. He also had powerful short-range instantaneous movement magic tools. However, he was hit by Little Red's dragon breath every time he tried to instantaneously teleport. He knew that he couldn't just casually teleport in front of this wind and fire archmage anymore. Little Red's draconic eyes locked onto all the dimensional cracks.
Although Salor was quite tanky, he was about to be cooked if this wind and fire archmage's flames continued to burn. Salor tried to ask for help from the Lord of Curses, but discovered that the Lord of Curses was also in a stalemate.
Now, the two Devil Lords regretted being so arrogant and caring about their reputation. Why didn't they just bring their entire devil army!?
I couldn't help but relax when I saw that Little Red still had the advantage. But just as I felt that we had a great advantage, Lasnina suddenly tossed aside her magic sword.
"I'm bored, mortal. I'll let you see my true power. Why I'm called the Lord of Curses!"
