Chapter 529: Bone King: Is This Shi Luo Wang Really This Strong?!
The one bearing the title “Shi Luo Wang” was originally thought by Yar Beide to be a comedic figure, but she never expected his actual combat power to be this strong!
And what the hell were those two enormous skeletal arms that suddenly burst from the ground just now?
Isn’t he human? But this magic—no matter how you look at it—is clearly a necromantic or high-level undead ability!
Watching Kose Tesi bound by the two giant skeletal arms, Shengzai kicked out with his foot straight at the immobilized Kose Tesi .
“Million-Ton Flying Kick—!”
The powerful blow struck Kose Tesi ’s physical armor, and his ice-blue shell, comparable to a divine artifact armor, instantly cracked with a sharp snap.
The next second, as the skeletal hands shattered, his massive body was blasted hundreds of meters away by a circular shockwave.
As his huge body flew backward, it carved a deep trench into the ground, snapped countless trees, and finally slammed into a massive boulder.
Seeing Kose Tesi blown away by his single strike, Shengzai did not stop—he gripped his longsword and unleashed a full-power slash, sending a hundred-meter-high blade strike racing toward his opponent!
The longsword Shengzai now held was no longer the kingdom’s sacred artifact, Razor’s Edge—it was the weapon of Muspelheim, one of the Eight Desire Kings and the second World Champion: “The Blade of the Desireless!”
As the weapon of one of the Eight Desire Kings, Muspelheim’s blade was naturally a divine artifact, and in power, it ranked just below the Guild’s weapons.
The Guild’s weapons of the Eight Desire Kings were borrowed over two hundred years ago by the Thirteen Heroes and should now be in the hands of the Platinum Dragon King.
But the “Blade of the Desireless” in Shengzai’s hands now was equally astonishing in effect.
It could stack all of its user’s attributes onto the power of each slash, producing the strongest possible strike!
If the first World Champion Tachi Mi’s reward, “Perfect Warrior,” was the strongest defensive armor,
then the “Blade of the Desireless,” granted to the second World Champion Muspelheim, was the strongest offensive weapon!
Both “Perfect Warrior” and “Blade of the Desireless” could only be equipped by the “World Champion” class.
But just as the Bone King used a warrior-converted skill, Shengzai used abilities from another world to wield this weapon.
When Yar Beide saw the colossal crescent slash hurtling toward Kose Tesi with unstoppable force, she could no longer stand idle.
Kose Tesi ’s HP had already dropped to a dangerously low level from the previous attacks.
If he took another hit like this, even a Layer Guardian would die.
Although guardians could be revived by spending large sums of gold so long as the Guild wasn’t destroyed, letting Kose Tesi die at this enemy’s hands would unquestionably become a disgrace to Nazarick.
As the slash neared Kose Tesi ’s body, Yar Beide hesitated only an instant before raising her short staff, upon which a small orb floated.
As a brilliant light erupted from the staff, the massive slash that had torn through the earth with unstoppable force vanished into thin air beneath the white glow.
Hell’s Abyss, the strongest anti-object world-class item, can directly erase the data of items or skills, and store their energy to release as an attack.
Meaning Shengzai’s ultimate slash had been erased as if it were game data by this world-class item—and thus vanished completely.
Even now, if Yar Beide wished, she could detonate the energy stored from that very slash.
This was the terrifying power of world-class items: though they carried heavy usage costs or long cooldowns, their utterly unreasonable strength inspired awe and dread.
“Demon’s Manifestations: Tentacle Wings!”
Simultaneously as Shengzai’s slash was erased, Demiurge in the air unfurled his demonic wings and fired torrents of black feather-like arrows downward.
Facing this rain of attacks, Shengzai formed a hand seal—and instantly, the vast streams of water vapor around him coalesced into a hemispherical water curtain, fully shielding him.
“Water Release: Water Wall!”
Seeing his attacks blocked again, Demiurge roared in fury; the ground cracked, magma erupted, and a colossal fire pillar surged toward Shengzai.
“Roar—————!”
Yet at the same moment, Shengzai shifted his hand seal; the water curtain transformed into a roaring water dragon that slammed into the erupting magma pillar.
“He can use martial arts, magic, even the monk’s ki techniques and ninja’s ninjutsu—what class is he even?!”
Watching Shengzai’s countless techniques, Yar Beide clenched her silver teeth: his earlier kick that shattered Kose Tesi ’s armor clearly used a “monk”-style ki technique.
His water manipulation afterward used “ninja” ninjutsu—so now, in Yar Beide and the others’ eyes, Shengzai grew ever more mysterious and unpredictable.
(This world has ninjutsu—even Tiya of the Azure Rose used it against the insect girl Adoma.)
“Hell’s Abyss” had already been used; now Yar Beide hesitated whether to release the stored energy.
If she used “Hell’s Abyss,” it would instantly flatten everything around them—but the world-class item would be unusable for a very long time.
Moreover, Shengzai’s abilities and strength far exceeded their expectations; Yar Beide could not be certain that even “Hell’s Abyss” would definitively kill him.
While she hesitated, the Bone King, barely victorious over Xia Tiya with low HP, sent a message to inquire about the situation here.
【Yar Beide , even from my side, I felt tremendous disturbances—did you use a world-class item?】
【I sincerely apologize, Lord Ainz, our enemy’s strength exceeded our expectations. To save Kose Tesi , I just used “Hell’s Abyss.” Please forgive me.】
【No matter. Even precious world-class items are less important to me than you.】
【But from your words, it sounds like neither Kose Tesi nor Demiurge could match that Shi Luo Wang?】
【I deeply apologize, Lord Ainz. His abilities and strength far surpass our expectations. I am now considering whether to release the stored energy of “Hell’s Abyss,”】
【or to summon Sebastian in the capital, or Gokudou and Pandora from Nazarick as reinforcements.】
