Weapon Skill Spamming Is the Reason to Be King

The mercenaries genuinely wanted to protect Iliphis.

That's absolutely true, because the idea of "protecting Iliphis" did indeed arise in their minds.

As for why it happened, let's not delve into that.

In their eyes, Captain Iliphis was the key to all victories. As long as they could protect the captain, even if it meant using their own bodies to block the Wrath of the Gods and give the captain more time to think, they might be able to turn the tide. This had been the case in previous battles.

Moreover, whenever they made such a life-risking act of protection, Iliphis would respond to them. The captain's expression of worrying about them and dissuading them from was truly delightful. Just looking at it a few more times made one want to work for him wholeheartedly.

Just as the mercenaries were engrossed in observing their leader's expression, a soft light suddenly enveloped them, and the next moment they found themselves transported to the rear, with Iliphis standing in front of them.

"Captain, what are you doing, Captain!" The mercenaries were flustered Iliphis do this for the first time.

"It's okay, you've already tried your best."

Iliphis revealed a warm smile. Facing the shockwave of Wrath of the Gods, he unleashed all his magic power at maximum capacity, transforming his magic, which was highly integrated with LIGHT magic, into a simple Magic Cannon he blasted out.

To the mercenaries' astonishment, the straight sword Magic Cannon actually broke through the shockwave of Wrath of the Gods and struck Overlord Wolnir squarely all the way forward!

It was impossible to tell how much damage the opponent had suffered, but Iliphis's single move of shattering the Wrath of the Gods was enough to make the mercenaries rejoice and shout his name.

"Iliphis!"

Hearing the cheers behind him, Iliphis did not turn around, but simply waved his hand in response, looking incredibly nonchalant.

In fact, his face was gloomy.

Guess why he saved the mercenaries and went to fight Wrath of the Gods himself?

He calculated that the shockwave of Wrath of the Gods had already begun to weaken, and his full-force magical attack could counteract it, which is why he made his move.

If the shockwave doesn't diminish, Iliphis will have to watch them die.

But the mercenaries didn't know the intricacies of the situation. In their eyes, the fact that Iliphis had completely blocked the Wrath of the Gods meant that their leader had the ability to go toe-to-toe with the Overlord.

Although they didn't know how they did it, they guessed that they must have discovered a weakness in the Overlord's attack; that must be it!

"Charge, Commander!"

With numerous companions cheering him on from behind, if this were a protagonist from a more idealistic shonen manga, he would have already unleashed his full power by now.

But Iliphis was different; he was always indifferent and only found people noisy.

He calmly observed the Overlord's movements, and finally found his chance to win!

That is, after unleashing his Wrath of the Gods, Overlord Wolnir sheathed his holy sword, returned to his original form, and began summoning Skeleton Warrior again!

This is a great opportunity!

Overlord Wolnir's moves aren't scary, but his high damage resistance and health bar are what's truly terrifying. The Light Eagle Legion lack effective ways to deal damage when facing him.

Iliphis intends to test another method of attack!

He took out the Bracelet Martial Weapon that had completely lost its luster, and then took out a box. The box looked ordinary on the outside, but when he opened it, it contained concentrated, bloody bones and flesh, which were even wriggling as if they were alive.

Immerse the Bracelet Martial Weapon in it, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood along with the box disappear, and the weapon regains its luster!

Iliphis turned to the crowd and smiled, "Everyone, lend me your power."

Since the commander has said so, how could they, as his subordinates, refuse?

Everyone frantically transferred their magic to Iliphis. Even when their own magic was depleted, they squeezed out their life force to convert it into magic and transfer it to Elifis.

Unceremoniously accepting the mercenaries' magic, Iliphis put on the bracelet and raised his right arm toward the sky.

A powerful beam of light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped him. The Bracelet Martial Weapon's ability was a simple and direct amplification, amplifying the effects of various spells!

Overlord Wolnir also stopped what he was doing and stared at the beam of light.

When the light faded, a giant, composed entirely of light and no smaller than the Overlord Wolnir, stood on the earth. It had a human body, an eagle's head, Iliphis as its core, hidden within the giant's body.

Just by looking at this giant, you know he is very strong, extremely strong, a complete weapon of war, destroying city walls is as easy as playing around.

Amid the cheers of the mercenaries, Iliphis charged forward and landed a powerful uppercut squarely on Overlord Wolnir.

Wolnir moved; his body finally stiffened for a moment due to their attack!

This was a good start. The giants formed from light launched a continuous attack on the Overlord Wolnir, all aimed at his head. Meanwhile, the miasma surrounding the Overlord was constantly eroding the giants, and the Abyss was also attacking relentlessly.

Everyone loves a battle between giants, and the mercenaries cheered until their voices were almost hoarse.

The situation seemed to be gradually improving, with Iliphis's punches causing a reaction in Overlord Wolnir's body; the so-called feedback from being hit had finally appeared.

However, upon closer inspection, his ferocious attack didn't seem to have left any obvious injuries on Overlord Wolnir. We generally refer to this behavior as:

Gua sha (scraping therapy).

To outsiders, it might appear as Iliphis is dominating the Overlord, but in reality, it is the Overlord who is enjoying the massage.

For the first time Iliphis inside the giant showed a noticeable change in expression. He clenched his teeth, and even the giant's eagle head became exceptionally ferocious.

Why is it not working? Why can't I hurt him? It's like hitting Iron Ball!

"Go to hell!"

He raised his left arm high, and all the light from the giant's body converged on his left arm, as if he intended to deliver a brutal blow to the Overlord!

But the next second, a sword flashed in the air, and with a "boom!" the giant's left arm fell to the ground.

"Huh?" The mercenaries exclaimed in bewilderment.

The giant reached for his empty left arm, and his stunned expression perfectly reflected the face of the controller.

Overlord Wolnir had somehow drawn his holy sword. His jaw was slightly agape, and although his expression was unreadable, a sense of mockery was palpable.

Enraged, Iliphis resorted to his old trick, raising his right arm high—a seemingly Recklessness action—but behind his back, he reassembled his left arm, intending to launch a sneak attack.

But instead of swinging his sword, Overlord Wolnir plunged the blade into the earth.

[Wrath of the Gods!]

Here it comes again, the most terrifying move we need to be wary of!

The fact that the Overlord could unleash Wrath of the Gods so quickly was beyond Iliphis's expectations, so he quickly retreated to defend himself.

Fortunately, the Bracelet Martial Weapon still had one use left. He unleashed a powerful attack that clashed with Wrath of the Gods!

After a spectacular barrage of special effects, the Wrath of the Gods Yu Bo knocked the giant off balance, and the mercenaries behind him were scattered like ants, but fortunately, none of them died.

Great, we dodged it!

Iliphis raised the corners of his mouth, suddenly feeling that the so-called Wrath of the Gods wasn't so great after all. If he could keep his weapon powered up, maybe he could—

His eyes suddenly widened, because Wolnir had once again plunged the holy sword into the ground, and it looked like...

It turns out that the Wrath of the Gods once again!

Wait, wait, wait, you can unleash attacks of this level continuously!?

The time left for Iliphis to think was fleeting. After a few seconds of being so shocked that he stopped thinking, by the time he wanted to take action again, the shockwave of the Wrath of the Gods was already on his face!

He hurriedly manipulated the giant to defend himself, but the defensive magic he hastily released crumbled like paper in the face of Weapon Skill.

By the time the shockwave dissipated, the giant had shrunk to nearly a third of its original size, while the mercenaries behind him...

All I can say is that a few of them still retain human form.

I made it through.

Iliphis looked up, a hint of smugness creeping into his heart.

"I didn't expect that the Overlord could squeeze out his potential and unleash Wrath of the Gods continuously. However, this will definitely make his subsequent attacks weaker."

He wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by, and charged forward again, but this time no one was there to support him.

Seeing the menacing Iliphis, the Overlord had just raised his holy sword, plunged it back into the ground.

That move looks so familiar. Wait, it's Wrath of the Gods again?!

The surprise came so fast that Iliphis was completely caught off guard and was struck squarely by the Wrath of the Gods.

"We must stop them!"

As the shockwave dissipated, the giant shrank again, looking pitiful.

Iliphis's gums were bleeding from biting so hard. How could that be? Why could the Wrath of the Gods be unleashed three times in a row? This shouldn't be happening!

Then he saw Overlord Wolnir repeat the action for the fourth time.

Weapon Skill repetition, isn't that amazing?

"Wait, no—"

Fortunately, no mercenaries saw their leader in such a disheveled state.

Because they are all dead.

The fourth time, the fifth time, and the sixth time.

The Overlord Wolnir's Weapon Skill repetition successfully refreshed Iliphis's worldview. Relying on his tenacious will, he stared wide-eyed as the Overlord unleashed six consecutive Wrath of the Gods!

As for why we didn't see the seventh time?

"Crackling and popping"

Before the Three Corpse Artificer Bonfire stood, Iliphis stared blankly at the flickering flames.

He was pondering why the Overlord could release Wrath of the Gods, Weapon Skill that seemed like Ultimate Skill, six times in a row at such a low cost.

Is the other party too strong, or am I not at that level and therefore lack understanding?

I don't know if the opponent can use it a seventh time, because he died on the sixth attempt.

At the same time, Iliphis had this question.

Since Wrath of the Gods is so useful, why didn't you just keep repeating it indefinitely from the start?!

What were you doing dragging your feet with us for so long? Were you putting on an act?

Eliphes had not suffered such a setback in a long time.

His silence caused the mercenaries to fall silent as well.

"The commander seems to be in a bad mood," the Assault Captain whispered to Sally beside him.

"Idiot, don't say it out loud." Sally glared at him, and the latter wisely stepped back.

The atmosphere at the scene was rather somber, making it difficult for a lively and cheerful person like the Assault Captain to adapt.

He looked at Iliphis with concern, but when he realized he wouldn't be able to comfort him, he silently left the campfire and went outside for some fresh air.

"I don't know why the guild leader is so eager to defeat the Overlord. Our job isn't to challenge dungeons, is it?"

The most profound impression that Overlord Wolnir left on him was the immense strength that was almost impossible for him to resist. He had actually thought that he could go toe-to-toe with Overlord, but now he realized that he was just being delusional.

"Ugh, how are we supposed to fight this? Speaking of which, are all the bosses in the dungeon this strong? What are those adventurers fighting against every day?"

He was talking to himself when suddenly—

"Thump!"

"Ouch, what's that?"

The Assault Captain frowned and reached out to touch the air in front of him.

It was as if an invisible wall of air had appeared in front of him.

Why does it feel so smooth to the touch?
