Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 433 Not a Moment

What is a true wizard?
What should a real wizard look like when he takes action?

From the first level to now, Blood Prison has encountered many guys who claim to be mages. Some of them are so powerful that they can flatten a small hill with one skill, while others are so weak that they can only cast a few fireballs before their mana bar is exhausted and they are unable to recover. However, no matter which mage it is, they at least follow a most basic rule:
——That is, the power of a spell should be inversely proportional to its range.

Consuming the same amount of mana, the single-target damage caused by releasing a spell with a range of 100 meters in diameter is in no way comparable to that caused by releasing a single-target spell of the same level with a range controlled within 1 meter in diameter.

Therefore, before this, Blood Prison's understanding of mages has always been that they must be extremely careful when encountering a mage's single-target attack, but when encountering a mage's large-scale attack, as long as the survivability is not too poor, they can generally survive at a relatively small cost.

But this perception was completely broken today.

In other words, the scene before him made Xueyu completely understand one thing:

The power of a spell is indeed inversely proportional to its range, but...

——When the strength of a spell exceeds a certain limit, both power and range... can be achieved at the same time!
"Even though I've seen it in the newspaper several times, seeing it from this distance is still far more exciting than what was in the newspaper~!"

A groan that was enough to make an ordinary person lose his mind instantly came from the side. Xueyu glanced at his side and saw that Sylvie, who had been fleeing in a hurry like him a few seconds ago, was now flushed and looking at the scorching fire in front of her with a dazed look. Her delicate body was oozing with layers of fine sweat under the waves of heat, wetting the already thin gauze, making her look even more seductive.

This guy, is he always making trouble 24 hours a day?
Xueyu looked at Sylvie, who seemed to be immersed in it, and his expression was a little speechless.

Although he already knew how 'famous' the lust demon Sylvie was in that aspect, and he had also witnessed before how outrageous the other party's desires were, he was still shocked when he saw that the other party had just brushed shoulders with death and then became so excited that he sprayed water all over the ground.

"Ding~!"

Suddenly, a cold message alert sounded, and Xueyu subconsciously looked to the edge of his vision, only to see the performer's avatar lit up high on the chat channel of the Derivative World, which was so quiet that almost no one cared about it:

Performer: "@Blood Prison, @Silvis, get ready, it's about to start!"

"..."

He actually said such things on the world channel in such a high-profile manner. Does this guy really think that other violators and the Black Sword do not exist?
Xueyu looked at the news on the world channel and his eyelids twitched slightly, but he still controlled the blood in his body to gather towards the blade in his hand, and at the same time looked at Sylvie beside him.

"Tsk~ Is it about to start? Men with impatience are really annoying. It's obvious that I'm about to go~!"

Sylvie, who had also seen the news on the world channel, let out a light click of the tongue and complained in a plaintive tone. She pulled her hand out, licked her palm which was filled with an unknown liquid, and gently blew out a puff of pink mist forward. She immediately turned into a wisp of pink smoke and floated towards the gradually cooling battlefield.

……

"Is this...is this divine punishment? Captain Anderson."

At the same time, the members of Section Thirteen of the Betrayer on the other side looked at the Vatican, which had become a sea of ​​fire, with shock and awe in their eyes.

From the moment the battle started, all of them received instructions from the black-haired young man, asking them to lead the survivors in the city to evacuate at least two kilometers away from the battlefield.

At first they were confused by the order, but after seeing the scene with their own eyes, they were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat.

"Divine punishment? Maybe. At least after seeing it, I can confirm it. No matter what His Majesty the Black Sword intends to do now, we'd better obey his orders for the time being."

Anderson glanced at the figures behind him who were either kneeling and praying or praising enthusiastically. After a moment's silence, he spoke in a serious voice, looking up at the scene in front of him. The Vatican, which looked like hell and was burning with raging flames, was reflected in his pupils.

……

This is a power that should not be controlled by humans.

"Human... Is this... your trump card?"

A weak voice sounded from the battlefield. On the ground emitting waves of heat, the middle-aged Akado, whose body was in tatters and exuding a strong aura of death, was lying in a huge pit. He looked up at the black-haired young man standing in mid-air and spoke with difficulty in a hoarse voice.

The opponent's attack just now not only instantly evaporated the river of blood and undead soldiers that had spread throughout the city, but also generated a large amount of death energy in his body, making it impossible for him to even do a simple task like self-recovery.

"It's really... amazing, a body of flesh and blood... can be honed to such a level."

"Humanity...died in your hands...I...accepted my defeat...with all my heart."

The middle-aged Akado stared at the figure in the sky with his somewhat dazed eyes and murmured.

Although the victory was decided after only a very short fight between them, he was very clear that he had already used up all the means at his disposal.

He was overwhelmingly crushed by the opponent in terms of close combat skills, and his attack power was obviously not as powerful as the destructive power caused by the opponent's burst. The strong body that had been invincible in the past was like paper under the opponent's blows. Not only that, from mental interference to mind charm... blood erosion, blood binding and other means that he could try, he had already used them all in the battle just now.

But in the end, the opponent was like an indestructible wall, easily dissolving all his means. In the end, even the powerful regeneration ability that he was most proud of was suppressed by the pure death energy mixed in the opponent's attacks, turning him into what he is now.

In mid-air, the black-haired young man looked down at the middle-aged Akado below, who was unable to heal his wounds on his own due to the explosion of death energy, but was still surviving there with full vitality, and did not speak.

In fact, Akado is not weak. At least judging from the panel, he is definitely worthy of the title of a overlord-level unit.

——However, their ability system is too much of a constraint on Akado’s ability.

Needless to say, charm and mental shock are all very important. Even though Akado has a real intelligence attribute of 90 points, it is obviously too much of a pipe dream to try to use these means to shake a wizard and technical contractor with a willpower of nearly 140 points, a soul strength of 80 points, and who has condensed the spiritual world.

Although the gap in physical attributes is huge, they have too great an advantage in the skill panel. On one side is the melee specialization LV.90 which only increases the attack power by 40%, while on the other side is the heavy sword + fighting master LV.MAX which increases the attack power by a full 260%.

The gap brought by this item alone can almost offset more than half of Akado's attribute advantage over them, not to mention that they also have secondary weapons equivalent to the top legendary suits, world-class main weapons, and massive damage bonuses.

In this situation, it was already very difficult for Akado to fight them in close combat for such a long time relying only on his physical advantage, a close combat expertise, and a long sword that might not even be of light gold quality, let alone suppress them.

Putting all these aside, looking at Akado's skill panel, you will find that he is still badly defeated by them. The powerful regeneration ability that vampires are most proud of is naturally countered by the [Death Stone] he carries, and the unique ability of vampires to control their own blood to corrode the enemy is also severely countered by the energy erosion immunity of the heavy sword master.

There is also defense, which needs no further explanation. Although Akado has twice as much health as them, and has a 5th-level regeneration bonus, his health bar thickness far exceeds theirs.

But if we only talk about the hardness of the body, even two Akados added together would not be as hard as their skin. This is the hardness supported by three top legendary gems + an alchemical injection specially rewarded by Paradise + a set of top +12 gold suits + a master-level passive with additional abilities at LV.30. If we only talk about the cost of investment, even a master-level LV.MAX is more than enough.

If they spent so many resources but still couldn't beat Akado in defense who had no additional defense bonus, they should check whether their own defense qualifications are also F-.

As for the remaining ultimate ability, River of Death?

For other people, this skill might be tricky, but they are mages, and the thing mages fear least is a skill like the River of Death that can be countered by wide-area strikes.

Once the title of [Undead Slayer] is put on and the buff is applied, a large-scale magic will be cast. It is unknown whether Akado will die or not, but the undead army summoned by the opponent will definitely be killed without leaving any trace.

But then again, the reason why they were able to suppress Akado so easily, apart from the restraint in terms of ability, was another key reason...

"Is the derivative world no longer suitable after all?"

At the edge of the battlefield, Xin Lailai, who had perfectly avoided the power of the Blazing Ashes by escaping into the soul space, stood in mid-air again, overlooking the scene below, squinting his eyes, and said nothing more.

This ordinary derivative world...is ultimately no longer suitable for their continued development.

Is the perfect Akado strong? Very strong. In the second-order derivative world, he is definitely the boss that ordinary second-order contractors in Paradise least want to face.

But the problem is, compared with the monsters they encountered along the way, Akado's power suddenly seems not so insurmountable.

Putting aside other things, just in terms of technical level, Akado is actually the second to last powerful enemy they have encountered along the way. The last one is the remnant of the alien abyss that they encountered in the Black Four Worlds. However, the opponent possesses extremely rare time-related abilities. If it were not for the suppression of the world will and Julius's voluntary death, that thing would not be an enemy that could be defeated by the same level.

To put it bluntly, it’s not Akado’s fault that he is weak, but the enemies they encountered along the way were too perverted, and in order to survive, they had to use these enemies as their standard.

Ordinary contractors might only be targeting powerful BOSS units in the derivative world that have bonuses set by the derivative world, but all they are targeting along the way are the truly dominant units from the ascended world or the abnormal world.

You have to know that although they are all overlord units, the overlord units in the abnormal world and the native world are completely different from the overlord units in the derived world.

Apart from anything else, the value of a Dark Light Alien alone is simply incomparable to that of a dominant unit like Akado, which was forcibly promoted by relying on the settings and bonuses of the paradise and derivative worlds.

"Well, this is about the right level of difficulty for a normal derivative world. If it were any higher, it would be unreasonable."

Normal derivative worlds are, after all, training grounds for Paradise to cultivate newcomers. Especially since the Hellsing world is only a second-level semi-open derivative world, it is already an extraordinary level to have a dominant unit like Akado in it. If it were any more difficult, the new contractors in Paradise would probably be cut off by Paradise itself.

"Go ahead...human, put an end to this."

In the center of the huge pit created by the blazing embers, the dying middle-aged Akado murmured weakly. His body made of blood kept repeating the cycle of regeneration and disintegration under the erosion of death.

"it is good."

In mid-air, facing the middle-aged Akado's plea, the black-haired young man calmly uttered a word without any extra words. Instead, he decisively raised the sword in his hand, flapped his wings, and slashed at Akado below with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The pitch-black giant sword flashed a black sword light in the air. The heavy sword body gave people an unstoppable and powerful feeling of oppression, like a collapsing mountain, crushing downwards.

But the next moment——!
Wow! !
A soul chain as thick as an adult's arm appeared in front of the black-haired young man without warning, penetrated through the sword blade, and instantly sank into the black-haired young man's body.

"Do it!!"

In an instant, the roar of artillery fire rang out from the sky, and huge shells had already reached the ground before the sound was transmitted, bursting into dazzling flames in close contact with the ground.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...!!

Dozens of explosions sounded on the battlefield at the same time. In the light of the explosions, one could see overwhelming figures leaping down from mid-air, with flames burning on their bodies, rushing suicidally towards the direction of the black-haired young man.

"roll!"

Om-! !

The black-haired young man who was about to kill Akado saw thousands of zombie soldiers rushing down in front of him along with the artillery shells. His expression turned cold, and he let out a low roar. A dark pressure burst out, instantly killing the zombie soldiers rushing forward one by one.

Thousands of lavender lights flashed by, and in this brief moment of delay, a hand had already rested on Akado who was lying in the huge pit.

Boom!
Without any hesitation, the performer who touched Akado decisively cut off his head, cast a soul seal and threw it with all his strength. With a sonic boom, he threw Akado's head towards the pink mist not far away that was responsible for receiving it, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to block it with his arms wearing silver-white arm armor.

boom--! !

The pitch-black sword light burst out and collided with the silver-white arm armor, forming a powerful storm that blew away all the surrounding dust and flames, leaving only the two figures standing in the giant pit.

"Yo~! Did you have a good time with Akado, my dear Mr. Black Sword~?"

A frivolous voice sounded, and the performer looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, with a playful smile on his white smiley mask.

——Without even a moment of mourning for Akado’s exit, he immediately entered the scene!

——The most mysterious second-level violator in history, the Performer!
