Chapter 905: The Strongest Sword and Shield (4k)
The group within the ring, including Tudor, couldn’t help but feel worried.
However, Dark Demon in the giant projection showed no signs of fear.
Even from his facial expression, one could see a clear sense of composure. The Sacrificial Summoning Array was laid out in the Red Side Summoning Area.
A golem-shaped coffin materialized before thousands upon thousands of eyes.
Since it was summoned using the [Nine-Tailed Fox] as a sacrifice, this “coffin” was inevitably only a six-star golem.
But for some reason, it gave off an inexplicable sense of depth. The students of Saint Maryann Academy were not unfamiliar with this pink coffin-like golem, but they had never seen it appear during a duel.
Today, at this very moment, was the debut of the [Reaper’s Casket]! “Death~!”
The floating [Reaper’s Casket] let out an abnormally excited cry. Behind it, the [Magical Beast: Ditto], tightly wrapping around the Red Side Mana Guidance Ball, sighed in relief.
It immediately wrapped around the Mana Guidance Ball and rolled toward the [Reaper’s Casket]. The [Reaper’s Casket] laughed maniacally, its dark shadowy hand swiftly swiped, pulling both the [Magical Beast: Ditto] and the Red Side Mana Guidance Ball into its coffin.
“Simple yet effective strategy!” Announcer Kingsley commented.
Luke Beck, who wielded the [Dargon Slayer Sword] as a magic spell, slightly sneered, “Turtling strategy? But can your shell withstand my sword?”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, controlling the [Dargon Slayer Sword] while issuing a command to the [Lycan Thralls].
“[Lycan Thralls], fly up!”
[Lycan Thralls] lifted its head, extending a pair of ghostly black dragon wings from the rolling black mist.
The dragon wings flapped fiercely, lifting its massive body into the sky, then diving sharply toward the Red Side zone.
The [Dargon Slayer Sword], glowing with gold and red light, followed closely behind.
Luke Beck’s expression was focused, clearly indicating his intention to end the match immediately.
“[Lycan Thralls] — [Undying Breath]!”
“Roar——”
As [Lycan Thralls] approached the ground, it opened its mouth wide, releasing a torrent of black fog that instantly engulfed the area where the [Reaper’s Casket] was located.
“[Reaper’s Casket], [Iron Wall].”
However, Dark Demon merely said calmly.
In the midst of the dark breath, a bright light pierced through the black fog, catching the attention of the audience.
After activating the ultimate skill [Iron Wall], the [Reaper’s Casket] immediately glowed metallically. Its original defense of three thousand points instantly doubled to six thousand!
Moreover, the effect of [Iron Wall] lasted for two full rounds!
“The attack power of [Lycan Thralls] is 4500 points, and the base damage of [Undying Breath] is also 4500 points, but if [Undying Breath] causes damage to the target, it will inflict poison and curses.”
“But only if it can damage the [Reaper’s Casket]!” Dark thought calmly.
“Although Luke Beck’s [Lycan Thralls] is a nine-star golem, its strength among nine-stars is quite ordinary. Among its remaining ultimate skills, only one poses a significant threat to the [Reaper’s Casket].”
“In comparison, that [Dargon Slayer Sword] poses a greater threat.” “Furthermore, there must be another nine-star golem in Luke Beck’s starting hand.”
“The [Dragon Egg] from the [Dragon Nest] can be used as a sacrifice to bypass the requirement of needing a second-tier sacrifice, allowing for the direct summoning of a nine-star dragon.”
“The dragon in his hand is more threatening than the [Lycan Thralls]!” “However, since he has the [Dargon Slayer Sword], he should not use the [Lycan Thralls] as a sacrifice to summon that nine-star dragon.”
“The immediate priority now is…”
The black fog was scattered by a fierce wind, and the [Reaper’s Casket] reappeared intact before everyone’s eyes.
Luke Beck frowned slightly and decisively ordered [Lycan Thralls] to dodge.
Then, the enormous [Dargon Slayer Sword] descended like a golden rainbow!
This strike was terrifyingly powerful, capable of nearly slaying the [Red Spine Black Dragon]. However, the [Reaper’s Casket] had nothing to do with dragons.
It could not penetrate the [Reaper’s Casket]’s [Iron Wall]! “Boom!”
The [Dargon Slayer Sword] viciously struck the coffin of the [Reaper’s Casket]. But after the sound faded, the coffin of the [Reaper’s Casket] bore only a shallow sword mark.
The mana lost from this sword mark was negligible even for a normal mana capacity like the [Reaper’s Casket], let alone a mana capacity over ten thousand!
The [Reaper’s Casket] did not even sense a decrease in mana.
Facing upwards, it supported itself with four shadowy hands, emitting a ridiculous laugh.
But the laughter sounded extremely mocking to Luke Beck. He quickly thought, then roared, “[Lycan Thralls], [Weakness Curse]!”
The massive [Lycan Thralls] lifted its head and roared into the void. Immediately, a spectral voice echoed.
Clumps of black mist emerged from its body, transforming into huge skulls. The skulls laughed maniacally in the air, their expressions becoming increasingly sinister.
Controlled by [Lycan Thralls], it charged at the [Reaper’s Casket] with a long tail.
That skull actually pierced through the silver glow on the surface of the [Reaper’s Casket], entering its body.
Immediately, it felt a foreign energy surging within, reducing its defense—its basic defense.
The original three thousand points of basic defense plummeted abruptly to fifteen hundred points. With the addition of [Iron Wall], the [Reaper’s Casket]’s defense dropped to just three thousand points.
Luke Beck did not order [Lycan Thralls] to attack; instead, he held the sword with his right hand, controlling the [Dargon Slayer Sword] to slash down rapidly!
Time in the second round raced by.
When the [Dargon Slayer Sword] slashed down with overwhelming force, the round switched to the third round.
“Boom!”
A louder explosion echoed. A large gap appeared on the surface of the [Reaper’s Casket].
After this successful strike,
Luke Beck had thoroughly assessed the defense of the [Reaper’s Casket]. He pushed forward mentally, without drawing any cards, and immediately grasped the [Dargon Slayer Sword], slashing at the [Reaper’s Casket] for the third time!
In its fullest power, Luke Beck’s [Dargon Slayer Sword] could only slash three times.
But in this third slash, he activated the sole additional skill of the [Dargon Slayer Sword]—[Piercing Armor]!
[Dargon Slayer] must first [Pierce Armor]!
The defense of the [Reaper’s Casket], already eroded by [Weakness Curse], would be further weakened by [Piercing Armor]. Its remaining three thousand points of defense might drop to just a thousand!
This mere thousand points of defense was like tissue paper against the [Dargon Slayer Sword].
Luke Beck not only aimed to shatter the coffin of the [Reaper’s Casket] but also to directly slay the [Magical Beast: Ditto] hiding inside!
“Boom!” There was no suspense.
The coffin lid of the [Reaper’s Casket] was truly sliced open by the [Dargon Slayer Sword].
This strike was so powerful that it would have been impossible for anyone else to resist. Yet, the [Reaper’s Casket], which should have dissipated into mana, remained standing. The [Dargon Slayer Sword], however, turned into starlight after exhausting its mana.
“Pfft.”
The coffin lid of the [Reaper’s Casket] was pushed open from the inside.
A smaller [Reaper’s Casket] peeked out. Dark placed [Bliss 4th Moon] on the table.
[Good morning, please vote.]
