This is the bottom line for the three of them. Once this line is crossed, Luo Ya has no doubt that the other party will take direct action.
Luo Ya smiled and shrugged, saying, "Of course."
Standing at a distance, Luo Ya's gaze was piercing, and his golden eyes lit up at that moment.
That terrifying brilliance flashed by in an instant, and Luo Ya's aura underwent a significant change.
Kenshin, the Transparent World is opened!
With his facial features enhanced to the extreme, even thousands of miles away, Luo Ya was able to have a clear understanding of the situation on the field.
The magic scattered around also began to move consciously, helping Roya to better perceive the methods used by the opponent.
All three guardians clearly noticed the unusual thing about Roya.
Albedo spoke first: "Hey, human, what are you doing?"
How could they not notice such an obvious change?
"What are you doing? Hmm, I'm not doing anything." Roja's gaze was fixed on Ainz below, who was making final preparations, and he replied casually.
Albedo wanted to say something more, but Demiurge stopped her.
A serious expression appeared on the demon's face. Demiurge gave Roya a deep look and said to Albedo, "Forget it. Lord Ainz is at the most critical moment right now. Let's not cause any trouble and disrupt Lord Ainz's plans."
Upon hearing the name of Lord Ainz, Albedo's previously restless heart calmed down slightly.
"Tch." Albedo scoffed dismissively and said nothing more, her gaze sweeping over Roya and Ainz in the distance.
The atmosphere in the arena became even heavier. Cocytus, who had been silent all along, seemed to sense a strong sense of crisis, and his grip on his halberd tightened even more.
Luo Ya naturally had no time to pay attention to the three people around him. He came here to learn from them, hoping to steal some of their skills.
This is not impossible.
The Fool's talent, coupled with his Immaculate Body, and his status as an Emperor-level mage, meant that learning from others on the battlefield would be a pipe dream, but for Roya, it was a very simple matter.
Of course, Roja didn't tell Ainz and his group that he was able to steal their skills. If they knew Roja's true information, how could they still let him stand by and watch the show so leisurely?
Ainz did not rush to make a move, but hovered not far from Shalltear.
“Radiant emerald green body”.
The first spell Ainz used was the tenth-rank magic he had given to Roya.
A vibrant green light enveloped Ainz's entire body. This 10th-rank magic could effectively reduce damage from the beating attribute and could nullify beating damage once.
(As for what the "beating" attribute is, it's probably considered physical damage. I'm not entirely sure, but that's what Baidu says.)
After casting the spell, Ainz looked at Shalltear again, but she stood there blankly, without making any move.
Seeing this, Ainz couldn't help but have some strange thoughts.
"Just like in the game, as long as you don't enter the opponent's attack range or attack first, she won't make any move."
"In that case, I must make the most of this initiative."
"Well then, I'm sorry, Shalltear."
With his mind racing, Ainz finally relaxed and began to buff himself.
"Flight, Blessing of the Spellcaster, Infinite Barrier, Divine Magic Barrier, Essence of Life, High-Level All-Attribute Enhancement, Freedom, False Information - Life, Seeing Through, Supernatural Intuition, High-Level Resistance Enhancement, Chaos Cloak, Unyielding, Enhanced Sensing, High-Level Luck, Enhanced Magic, Dragon Power, High-Level Hardening, Celestial Aura, Absorption, Increased Penetration, High-Level Magic Shield, Essence of Magic, Ultimate Enhancement of Magic Triple - Critical Strike Mine, Triple Transformation of Magic - High-Level Magic Seal, Ultimate Transformation of Magic Triple - Magic Arrow."
A barrage of magic rained down on Ainz, and he chanted for almost a quarter of an hour before finally stopping.
Roya pondered in his heart that half of these skills were ones that Ainz had not revealed.
Chapter 421: One wave comes after another
Layer upon layer of red and blue buffs were applied to his body, and the aura made Ainz appear multicolored.
After doing all this, Ainz's figure hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on Shalltear below.
"Then, let's go!"
Without much preamble, Ainz opened his arms and unleashed his first real attack.
Ainz's first choice was the ultimate magic technique, a super-rank magic that surpasses the tenth rank.
Super-tier magic – "Sky Chase!"
In terms of magical ranks, this spell, which falls outside those ranks, can be considered both magic and not magic. Firstly, it doesn't consume MP when activated, while the limitation on super-ranked spells lies in the number of uses.
That's right. Although super-tier magic doesn't consume MP, there's a limit to the number of times it can be used per day. When you first learn it, you can only use it once a day, but after level 70, you can gain one more use for every ten levels you gain.
Secondly, super-tier magic cannot be activated consecutively.
First, each type of super-tier spell has a set preparation time. Although paid items can be used to eliminate this preparation time, another penalty prevents super-tier spells from being cast consecutively. When a member of the party casts a super-tier spell, the entire party will be subject to this penalty—a period during which they cannot cast spells, known as the cooldown period.
It's a very easy-to-understand setting. Super-tier magic is very powerful and can almost instantly turn the tide of battle. It's understandable that such a setting would be made in order to balance the game.
But Ainz is different. Even with all the above conditions, Ainz still chose to start with an aerial pursuit.
Almost instantly, countless magic circles nearly obscured the sky above. Countless magic circles of all sizes converged to form dazzling blue light, and terrifying magical fluctuations spread at that moment.
Luo Ya's eyes narrowed slightly; he was highly focused at that moment.
With a wave of his hand, Ainz unleashed a complex magic circle.
As if the sun were rising from the earth, the entire field of vision was turned white.
The terrifying energy was compressed to its limit at this moment, and then suddenly exploded.
The raging magic swept across an area of nearly ten kilometers below, bringing it into its attack range.
After the violent impact, the white light lasted for five or six seconds, and was replaced by scorching heat. The heat generated by the super heat source continued to expand, like a nuclear weapon explosion, and the scorching flames filled Roya's entire field of vision.
This scene reminded Roya of the sweltering heat of over 2,000 degrees Celsius in Hiroshima. In fact, Ainz's dimensional reduction attack might be even more devastating than that scene in Hiroshima.
The white pillar of light didn't last long, but this brief moment left a deep impression.
After the white world faded away, what remained was the exposed red ground, which was already pitted and uneven, and was now completely unrecognizable.
Not only trees, but even flowers and plants around were crushed into dust by this powerful force.
The world beneath Ainz looked as if a piece had been forcibly scooped out, revealing a huge void.
Roya stroked his chin, his eyes flickering slightly.
To be honest, it wouldn't be too difficult for Roya to achieve this.
But he also needs time to prepare.
The attack range of Sky Pursuit is still not very large, but its destructive power is certainly sufficient.
“Not bad,” Roya thought to himself, offering a fair assessment.
Ainz, who had just unleashed such a terrifying attack, showed no sign of smugness. His gaze was fixed on the scorched earth below, on the ground that looked like the remnants of a meteorite impact. A girl was kneeling on the ground.
Fresh blood dripped continuously from her body, staining it crimson, but her originally dull eyes now shone with brilliance.
"It hurts! It really hurts!"
A red dot appeared in the charred world, and the crimson color expanded and grew larger. Soon, a deep red armor appeared on Shalltear's body, and at the same time, the divine weapon-level spear reappeared in her right hand.
Shalltear, her entire body emitting smoke and exuding a strong killing intent, directly withstood the super-tier magic. She staggered a few moments before standing up steadily.
She stared intently at Ainz, who was hovering in the air, with her wine-red eyes, and said in a tone full of hostility and murderous intent, "Lord Ainz, it hurts! Shouldn't you be a little more gentle with me? You used such a powerful move right from the start. My little body can't withstand such a terrifying attack."
Ainz simply smiled and shrugged, saying, "To go easy on my proudest guardian would be disrespectful."
"Is that so? Then let me see how many more times you can unleash this move, sir!"
The battle is about to break out.
"Magic Enhancement: Crimson Nova!"
"Magic Triple Enhancement - Thousand Thunder Annihilation Strike!"
One after another, Ainz unleashed terrifying spells, each starting with at least a seventh-rank spell. In this apocalyptic scene, the two continued to attack.
The earth collapsed, and the terrifying offensive swept in like waves, making this battle seem like a mythical one.
The two were locked in a fierce battle.
————————————————————
Roya kept his eyes fixed on the two figures in the arena, while he began to plan the magic he had just acquired.
This time, Ainz has revealed quite a few more of the good stuff he'd been hiding.
Don't be fooled by Ainz's seemingly overwhelming momentum from the start; the reality is not so simple.
As a necromancer, Ainz is actually weaker than Shalltear in melee combat.
From a professional perspective, Shalltear's profession is also quite effective against Ainz.
Therefore, although Ainz maintained an overwhelming advantage when dealing with Shalltear, he actually used quite a few methods.
After all, Ainz now has quite a few pay-to-win items in his possession.
Aside from the magic that Roja stole at the beginning, the subsequent battles weren't very interesting.
Ainz displayed his inhuman wealth, completely overwhelming Shalltear and rubbing her into the ground. His strength was unparalleled, and the battle was so fierce that it caused the heavens and earth to darken.
