Chapter 122.1, Mirage King (9)
That barrage was just like a black storm.
The physical strength of a vampire already surpassed the physical abilities of Death Knights that were strengthened with blessing. A long-reaching lance swung left and right, brandished by that giant body, was the most difficult for Death Knights to deal with. A sword could be parried, but the same couldn’t be done for the lance. There was no technique to his brandishing, but that itself made blocking it difficult. His poise was more of a beast than of a former mage, but it was backed by definite experience. Even if he was a mage, even if he hadn’t learned any techniques, his powerful physical abilities surpassed everything. Nevertheless, Senri made the blessing explode at her feet and fell back. After all, if someone was at a disadvantage in close combat, all they could do is attack from a distance. Lufry and Neville immediately gathered at Senri’s side and blocked the lance. The moment she concentrated her power in the sword, the Mirage King laughed.
“I know very well, let’s see what tricks you lot use…”
She stored the light of blessing for a second and released it. The moment the purifying light, albeit not as flashy as Photon Delete but still able to surely wound the undead, was about to hit the Mirage King, when a wall appeared in front of him.
The light hit the wall of soil and scattered easily.
As long as it’s not converted into the energy of destruction like Photon Delete, the light of the blessing doesn’t have a destructive ability. Out of the two that were guarding her sides, Lufry fired the light of purification to contain the enemy and Neville swung at him with his mace. In response to their simultaneous attacks, the Mirage King stepped back.
Crystal grew from the ground with great force. The black polished crystal reflected the light and blocked Neville’s mace.
— He’s strong. And he’s used to fighting.
The power of the blessing extinguishes undead on touch and defends against miasma. However, it was not tangible.cMoreover, the enemy was casting magic with no lag while moving. At that moment, the Mirage King suddenly looked down on his palm. The crystal shattered.
