Chapter 519: Ainz: My Brain is Trembling
As a huge blue wave rose into the sky and encompassed everything, Ainz certainly would not sit idly by and wait for death.
First, use flying magic to get yourself off the ground, and use defensive magic at the same time.
"Skeleton Barrier!"
He swung his right hand holding the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, and a huge wall of skulls instantly rose up to block in front of him. At the same time, he reached into his arms - or to be exact, into the other space, pulled out two daggers, and threw them in the direction of Krillin.
——Double obsidian swords.
These two swords are not world-class items, but as artifact-level items, their attack power is considerable.
Ainz doesn't have skills like throwing specialization, and the fact that he uses long-range weapons is nothing more than a test. In a duel, it is easy to be interrupted when releasing powerful magic.
What he didn't expect was that the two obsidian swords penetrated Xiaolin without any hindrance, and also took away a lot of health points... right?
[Life Essence] cannot display Krillin's health points. Even if Ainz feels like he has hit it, he has no idea whether it has caused damage or not.
When he took back the obsidian swords, he found many cracks on the weapons.
"When you attack, do you also take the attack?"
The attack power of these two swords is considerable, but they are actually fragile. If used for defense, their durability may decrease at a very fast rate.
But thanks to this, Ainz realized that Krillin was a real entity and not an illusion.
"Ok?"
Ainz lowered his head.
Just now, his attention was focused on Xiao Lin, and he didn't notice that the skeleton barrier blocking the blue waves in front of him was melting rapidly. From its appearance to its disappearance, less than ten seconds had passed. This was a tenth-level magic!
As expected, the Faith system can restrain the Undead system.
The broken and bumpy land was covered by blue waves, and Ainz had to use magic to stand in mid-air. On the other hand, the waves around Xiaolin receded slightly, leaving enough space for him to stand.
"Destroyed by ten thousand thunders!"
This is ninth-tier magic, the highest level of lightning magic that targets a single target. It is like a huge thunderbolt made by bundling several thunderbolts together that penetrates the target.
Ainz's race is a skeleton, but that doesn't mean he can't use magic of other attributes. If necessary, he will also use the faith type, such as the arrival of the heavenly army.
Several overlapping lightning bolts hit Kobayashi, but Kobayashi's movements did not slow down at all. It was unknown whether he was not hurt or he completely endured the pain, but he clearly felt like he had been hit.
The blurry figure rushed Ainz away without any skill at all.
Let's assume that Krillin endured the pain, and because this magic is not that powerful, he did not evade but instead endured the damage, and had to fight back as a price.
This judgment is correct.
If he were in the same position, Ainz would do the same thing. In fact, when he was PKing with Shalltear, he had endured the attack of the opponent's dropper spear.
However, if the same choice is made in this situation, it would be a big mistake.
As the corners of Ainz's mouth rose, a shock wave burst out from his body, knocking Krillin away heavily.
The test of the two obsidian swords just now was indeed effective.
It proved that Krillin had a physical body, and his attack was able to land on Krillin... Although he didn't know whether it caused any substantial damage, Ainz would rather have his attack hit but cause 0 damage than not even being able to hit. In this way, he would have other ways to solve the current situation.
If he turned into blood mist like Shalltear and became uncontrollable, Ainz would have a headache.
Ainz calmly waved his staff to push Kobayashi away again. For a magic caster, distance is the most important factor in a PK. It takes time to prepare magic and think of countermeasures.
However, Kobayashi's fist still brushed against his chest.
There was a burning pain, like the pain of rubbing off a layer of skin and then applying a layer of pepper water. But his health points did not drop.
Fortunately, the pain did not last long and dissipated quickly.
Ainz cast his magic once again at Krillin, who did not stop even after being repelled.
"The tenth level, summoning the undead."
Replacing the disappeared obsidian twin swords is the level 70 melee undead - the Lord of Destruction.
The helmet was wrapped in a rusty crown, and he was draped in a blood-stained cloak. The full body armor that protected his body was fluttering with many long curved blades like sickles.
Negative energy leaks out from the gaps in the armor little by little in the form of black haze, so physical strength will slowly decrease.
This is because of the strength of the Lord of Destruction. It is hard to believe that there will be such a punishment at only level 70. If you want to use it well, you must have sophisticated combat positioning.
But Ainz only wanted it to fulfill its shield mission, so this was of no importance to Ainz.
Xiaolin's current condition is worrying, but he looks like a warrior type, so Ainz summoned a shield with high health.
Magic casters who can use summoned monsters as shields are very strong. However, truly strong pure warriors can skillfully ignore this.
So what will Xiaolin do?
Originally a religious priest, would Kobayashi be able to use magic or attack as a warrior? Ainz thought it was necessary to know which aspect he focused on.
Also, although he swung his fists, he didn't use any special skills or martial arts to attack, so it was impossible to understand Krillin's strength as a warrior.
It's impossible to have only one trick to conquer everyone, right?
Kobayashi shortened the distance and rushed forward without any hesitation. It was a brave and decisive action.
He did not use magic, nor did he use that move. Was it because he could only fight at close range, or did he want to reduce his energy consumption? Although Ainz did not know what Krillin, who had no magic power, used, that kind of power could not be used without restraint, otherwise Krillin should have been using that move from the beginning.
Facing Xiaolin who was approaching, the King of Destruction raised his weapon, which was a long blade wrapped straight around the handle, a weapon called a war sickle. It also carried negative energy and was covered by black haze.
Ainz used the magical connection between himself and the summoned Lord of Destruction to issue orders.
The only drawback of a necromancer summon is that it is not very intelligent. To carry out detailed instructions, one needs to concentrate fully. However, everyone knows that the weakness of a necromancer summoner is himself. In order to prevent Xiaolin from taking advantage of the situation, Ainz gave very general orders.
Needless to say, a summoned monster would possess a portion of the summoner's knowledge when it appeared, so he thought it would understand without giving orders, but he still wanted to be cautious.
The Lord of Destruction activates his special ability.
【Night of Destruction】
The black haze that emerged increased and spread in all directions. The speed at which his physical strength decreased accelerated, but his combat ability was completely enhanced in a short period of time.
Not only that, the damage reduction caused by the level difference with the opponent will also be invalidated. There is also a function to reduce the overall damage of the undead in the range of the black haze - including the Lord of Destruction himself - the light, holy, faith and skills that are affected by positive justice values.
Ainz didn't just summon randomly, he came prepared.
It is known that Cocytus is not a demon. As a Zerg, he should not be purified by Xiaolin's magic, so the only explanation is the justice value. He was killed by Xiaolin because his justice value was -100.
In other words, putting aside the difference in numerical values, the King of Destruction is naturally antagonistic to Kobayashi, the priest of faith.
In addition, the strength of this move is that it will not overlap with all other buffs and its effects. The Lord of Destruction can also benefit from the amplification effects that Ainz constantly adds to himself when he is in the Great Tomb.
"Well, what will you do?"
In order to avoid being targeted, Ainz distanced himself from the Lord of Destruction and Krillin.
Although the upper-level teleportation was sealed, short-distance teleportation was still no problem. At this time, Xiaolin would definitely not come to trouble him, but must destroy the King of Destruction.
He had already made sufficient preparations for observation, and now he would see all of Kobayashi's powers thoroughly.
The scythe of the King of Destruction and Xiaolin's figure collided violently, and the sharp sound echoed all around. Neither of them gave in, nor was they pushed back. This could only happen when they had similar arm strength.
However, the imagined fierce battle, or the high-speed fight did not happen. Xiaolin's hand grabbed the sickle of the King of Destruction, and the light blue energy climbed up along his arm like water, and soon swallowed most of the King of Destruction.
How could it be that even if there was an increase, it would have no effect? It had nothing to do with race, and it had nothing to do with justice value?
Seeing that the Lord of Destruction was about to be completely purified like Cocytus, Ainz waved the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown in his hand, activating the ability of the summoned creature to self-destruct.
[Negative Explosion]
As if light had been inverted, waves of black light engulfed the surroundings with Ainz at the center.
The Lord of Destruction will recover an equal amount of health after taking negative energy damage, but the amount of mana consumed is not worth the recovery, so Ainz simply detonates it completely.
Kobayashi was unharmed.
Not hurt at all.
Where does the complete resistance to negative energy come from? Is it because of his current state, or because of his profession - Xiaolin is not necessarily a simple priest, or is it the equipment that makes him what he is now?
When fighting against Ainz, an undead, it was only natural to strengthen the defense against the negative energy that the undead often used.
Because even Ainz would obtain the protection of fire before fighting a dragon that could breathe fire. When fighting against Xiaolin, Ainz also made full efforts to resist faith magic and holy magic.
As Krillin rushed over again, Ainz cast his next spell.
【Completely Unknowable】
This is a magic that can make not only the body, but also the voice and breath disappear. If you attack during this period, the effect will disappear, and you can't use this magic on others.
Ainz, who had become unknowable, faced Krillin who was approaching him, and he set out to bypass him.
At that moment, the fist came straight at Ainz at an unavoidable speed and landed heavily on the flying squirrel ball in his abdomen. It was as if this was the target from the beginning.
Although [Glorious Green Body] has the effect of reducing the damage of attacks within a certain period of time, in fact, since the battle with Krillin, his magic - the effect of completely negating the damage of the attack attribute - has never been activated.
And...it hurts so much!
It hurts like crazy!
It was as if the skin on his abdomen had been peeled off and then smeared with pepper water. It was so painful that Ainz's brain was shaking!
"...Do you have eyes that can see through the unknowable? No, it's possible that you can sense it."
It's not surprising. Even if it's not Ainz's level, it's not surprising for a high level person to have one or two countermeasures. The question is how they found it, but the answer is unknown. There are too many countermeasures available, and the information is not enough to narrow it down. Especially since Xiaolin's current state is very strange, it's normal for him to sense it.
So what’s the next move?
After calculating the direction of the current battle, only use attack magic that can cause damage. If the King of Destruction is killed, summon a new one. This way, the possibility of winning is very high.
It's nothing more than a tactic of procrastination.
For Ainz, who has a high magic power, this is the formula for turning an advantage into a victory.
But this was not what Ainz expected.
He had a hunch about Krillin's condition. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there would never be another enemy like Krillin in the future. It seemed that there were still many abilities that Ainz could not determine.
In that case, it would be more beneficial for future development to understand all of Krillin's abilities here, and Ainz was also very curious about what Krillin had said to him.
Although I know it's dangerous, I should endure it here.
Ainz seized the opportunity, waved the magic wand in his hand, and summoned the tenth-level undead again.
The new Lord of Destruction, and the level 68 Undead - Elemental Skeletons.
At first glance, it looks like a floating skull, but it is surrounded by a swaying magical halo, and its colors change every moment: red, blue, green, and yellow.
In the age of games, attribute restraint is a natural thing.
Normally, negative energy and the holy and faith elements restrain each other, but now it seems that this may not be the case, so Ainz needs to experiment to find out the attribute that can truly restrain Krillin, and then make corresponding countermeasures.
The Elemental Skeleton is an undead being that can cast attack magic of the four major elemental spirits. Its physical strength is comparable to that of a magic caster, but far inferior to that of the King of Destruction.
But its attack power is quite good. I say this because all the magic cast by this undead are the most powerful magic ever.
In terms of defense, first of all, it has strong overall resistance to magic, and is completely resistant to attributes such as fire, thunder, acid, and ice, but it is very weak to physical attacks, especially beatings, so it is necessary to summon the King of Destruction again as a shield.
"Okay, let's start round two."
