Chapter 157
(No wonder he's [Zurrernorn]'s disciple!)
The appearance of the Bone Dragon instantly attracted Lilinet's attention. The Goddess Official gritted her teeth and released a fourth-tier Faith Amplification Magic, further enhancing the angels' strength.
Clementine, who was watching the play, also became agitated. When he was young and vulnerable, he witnessed the death of his friend. After being captured, he was tortured for several days, enduring the pain of having red-hot instruments pierced his body.
On this Mana Continent where healing and Resurrection Magic exist, the amount of happiness magic brings is equal to the amount of suffering it generates.
Driven by her tenacious will to survive and her hatred for her abusers, Clementine managed to live and eventually escape.
After that, he kept getting stronger, and then he would turn around and kill all the people who had hurt and tormented him, developing a fetish for slaughtering humans and intimidating the weak.
After all, the cruelty and slaughter of the weak is an extremely pleasurable thing.
Because he went too far, he was expelled from the Black Scripture, the strongest of the Six Color Scripture in the Siren Theocracy. After escaping the Slane Theocracy, he joined [Zurrernorn].
Commissioned by Kajit, who also has Slane Theocracy background, to find a host who can wear the [Diadem of the Wise] stolen from the Miko princess of the Slane Theocracy, and thus control the army of the dead.
With Kajit's own abilities, even with the Orb of Death, controlling a little over 150 undead would be his limit. However, the [Diadem of the Wise], an even more powerful Magic Item, would allow the wearer to control thousands of undead.
This allowed Kajit's plan to transform [Ye Rantil] into the Dead Kingdom and hold the Magic Ritual [Spiral of Death] to proceed more smoothly.
(If one becomes a more powerful undead, then one can resurrect one's mother as an undead who is immune to birth, aging, sickness, and death, and retains her original consciousness!)
Kajit silently recited this in his mind, while his gaze fell upon the angels who were locked in battle with the Bone Dragon.
He glanced at Clementine, who was already closing in on Uchiha Takeyasu, and unleashed the Third Tier Magic [Flames of the Dead] and [Negative Light Ray], breaking through the defenses of the two Energy Angel before being killed in succession by the Skeleton Warrior and the Bone Dragon.
The Thrones appeared just in time, blocking the undead's advance. The crumbling angelic defenses caused Lilinet to frown.
(That old guy is really troublesome.)
With her magic power nearly depleted, Lilinet's expression turned serious. She took out Recovery Potion from her Ninja Tool Backpack and began fighting while consuming the potion.
With Uchiha Takeyasu's backing and expensive recovery potions, the three women of the [Four Weapons] have no shortage of resources.
Having accumulated five years of negative energy, Kajit was also fearless in expending his magic power.
Gradually, the Goddess Official of the faith faction and the necromancer of the necromancer faction became locked in a battle of attrition.
The two replenished whatever angels and undead were consumed, and various buff spells were continuously added.
However, compared to Kajit's decades of magical foundation, Lilinet, who mainly relies on equipment, is inferior to Kajit in both the quantity and application of magic, and failure is only a matter of time.
Lilinet was not discouraged; her Young Master Takeyasu knew her own limitations perfectly well.
The goal of this battle is to learn from the experience and become stronger.
With limited natural talent, she couldn't become a big fat person overnight.
Four magical orbs appeared behind Uchiha Takeyasu, each representing one of the Four Elements of a profession. The novel magic caused Clementine to pause, and then her body shimmered with the brilliance of martial arts.
"Martial Arts Skills Ability Boost!"
The Ability Boost boosted Clementine's speed considerably. Just as her deep, arrogant laughter reached Uchiha Takeyasu's ears, the woman pulled out an Enchanted Dagger behind her back—
This is a stabbing weapon, an expensive magical weapon made primarily of mithril and coated with orchardite. It is imbued with the magic of [Magic Accumulation], capable of being infused with magic up to the third tier.
"Fifth Tier Magic - Magic Barrier!"
Three of the four colored orbs lit up, forming a magic circle about three meters in diameter, which also protected Lilinet.
Click!
A crisp sound echoed all around. Clementine watched as the Magic Barrier, which had cracked, instantly returned to normal. Without lingering in the fight, she leaped to safety in a few bounds.
(Three of the four orbs light up. During the barrier repair process, one of the three lit orbs goes dark, and the last one lights up.)
(Is it a continuously looping magical protective shield?)
Having found his answer, Clementine looked at the two hiding in the turtle shell with extreme displeasure, a cruel smile on his face. "Is this what you're so confident about?"
"I'm going to break through this tortoise shell, and then use a meteor hammer to shatter every single bone in your body, piece by piece!"
Uchiha Takeyasu remained silent, simply beckoning to Clementine. His contemptuous attitude instantly darkened the woman's face, and her beautiful features revealed a predatory expression.
His red eyes were fixed on Uchiha Takeyasu. He lowered his body, his five fingers, clad in metal gauntlets, pressed against the ground, assuming the stance of an athlete taking a running start.
The light of martial arts techniques flashed continuously on his body.
"Martial Arts Skills Greater Ability Boost!"
His already strengthened physique was further enhanced.
"Martial Skill: Flowing Water Acceleration!"
Further improve one's neural reaction speed, and enhance attack speed and evasion ability.
"Martial Arts Technique: Greater Evasion!"
Martial Skill: Windstride!
The last martial skill is a unique skill he developed himself, which is also the basis for Clementine's entry into the Heroic Domain. This self-created skill, which he is very proud of, can greatly increase his speed.
The moment his foot touched the ground, an upward airflow was generated, and fine cracks appeared on the ground. Clementine, in terms of speed alone, had already reached the realm of the extraordinary, which was also the level of Kage Level!
With a soft pop, like a pen tip piercing paper, the Enchanted Dagger's tip pierced the Magic Barrier in Clementine's excited and fervent gaze.
"Die!"
With a flick of her wrist, Clementine unleashed a blinding fireball from the Enchanted Dagger, which immediately erupted within the constantly regenerating Magic Barrier that was trying to push the Enchanted Dagger out.
"It's not over yet!"
Clementine then drew another Enchanted Dagger from her waist and, with lightning speed, thrust it into the previously pierced wound, followed immediately by a burst of Enchanted Dagger magic!
In an instant, within the Magic Barrier, the magical elements of fire and lightning went berserk!
The angels who were active outside also stopped what they were doing, giving Kajit the opportunity to kill them one by one.
Clementine, whose face was beaming with joy under the light of fire and lightning, suddenly froze, staring intently at the figure that was gradually emerging from within the barrier.
"Miss Clementine, if you only have these two or three skills, your end will probably be quite miserable."
