Chapter 572 The Valkyrie Fights Again with Blood!

When the strongest sword clashes with the strongest armor, if the equipment levels and attributes are comparable, then the ultimate factor determining the outcome is the skill level of the user.

As a magic caster with extreme specialization, Seiya is naturally no match for Ainz Ooal Gown in terms of both the use of magic and resistance to it.

However, the warrior-style Old Bones' extremely high MP value does not show any advantage.

In a head-on close-quarters duel, Seiya, with his superior physical abilities and martial arts skills, would naturally have the advantage.

So when the shield of the "Perfect Warrior" was cleaved with a deep groove by the "Blade of the Desireless" in Seiya's hand, Seiya turned around and unleashed a "Million-Ton Flying Kick," instantly sending Old Bones crashing down from the sky.

The old bones that flew out backwards plummeted to the ground like a meteorite.

"A flash of lightning—!"

Seiya, who held a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, suddenly shattered the air in the next second, his body transforming into a bolt of lightning, instantly catching up with his opponent's flying body.

"Your equipment is strong, but it doesn't suit you. Although your combat awareness is excellent, I have no chance of losing to a magic caster in close combat!"

Seeing Seiya catching up to him at an astonishing speed, Ainz also deactivated his "Perfect Warrior" form, which was now covered in wreckage.

He glanced at the time he had set and a serious expression appeared on his face.

A magic caster is already at a disadvantage in a PvP battle against a warrior, especially when the opponent is a top-tier warrior whose strength is comparable to Shalltear's.

The only ways Old Bones could think of to defeat Seiya were the so-called information gap and pay-to-win items.

As YGGDRASIL's most powerful magic, Super Rank Magic even possesses terrifying power comparable to a lower-rank World Item.

However, the drawbacks of super-tier magic are also obvious. In addition to requiring an absurd amount of MP, it also requires an extremely long casting time.

The casting time can be reduced by using in-game purchases, but even with further reduction, it cannot be made as instantaneous as a normal rank-based spell.

Originally, Ainz Ooal Gown intended to deal with Seiya in the same way as Shalltear, turning the battle into a long war of attrition.

Using his MP advantage, he first engaged Seiya in a magical battle. After exhausting his MP, he then used Warrior Transformation magic and the top-tier equipment of his former comrades to buy enough time to use his Super Rank magic.

But Old Bones clearly did not expect that Seiya was even more troublesome than Shalltear!
There are several reasons why he would be caught in a tough battle. One of them is that the information advantage he initially thought he had did not exist.

Not only did Seiya not understand his abilities, but he also knew very little about Seiya's abilities.

Secondly, compared to Shalltear, Seiya can also use martial arts unique to this world!

When fighting Shalltear, Shalltear dared not use "Dimensional Lockdown," a spatial locking ability that indiscriminately seals off friend and foe, in the face of her magical advantage.

However, Seiya dared to do so because even without magic that could teleport, he possessed numerous abilities and martial arts skills, allowing him to maintain extremely fast movement.

"Rib restraints—!"

Sharp ribs burst from the ground, closing in on Seiya like a gaping maw.

"Corpse Bone Pulse - Dance of the Abyss!"

Just as the abyss formed by the ribs was about to bite Seiya, two enormous bone arms, each over ten meters long, suddenly extended from behind Seiya.

And with a single strike, it shattered the gathered bone spurs as easily as breaking ceramics. Even after shattering the rib magic used to break open the old bone, the two bone arms did not disappear. Instead, they supported Seiya's body on the ground like feet, propelling him forward rapidly.

Seeing Seiya's art style suddenly change and move forward like a strange creature, Ainz was completely stunned.

No, he'd never seen this spell before.

And aren't you supposed to be the hero of this world? Why is the magic you're using so dark and gloomy?
"Negative Burst! Abyssal Howl! Obsidian Sword!"

With the space sealed off and his physical abilities inferior to Seiya's, Old Bones could only use various spells to counter Seiya's relentless approach.

However, before these spells could even touch Seiya's body, they were blocked by the two enormous bone arms.

Even with the use of premium items, there isn't enough time left to directly activate a super-tier spell.

Just as Ainz was hesitating about whether to use guild weapons or world-class items to fight the enemy, a figure wearing bright red armor flew past him.

"Pure Throwing Gun—!"

Shalltear's special skill is a blue magic javelin formed from magic power, which is almost an absolute nemesis of necromancy-type abilities and magic.

As the Pure Throwing Gun burst forth, Seiya's two skeletal arms, which had previously withstood numerous spells from the Bone King, shattered almost instantly.

The abilities of the Corpse Bone Pulse seem to be defined as necromancy abilities in this world.

Shalltear's specialization, as designed by Perorocino, Ainz's friend, was originally designed to completely counter necromancy.

"Our last battle was interrupted for some special reasons. Let's continue this time, Arlins."

With a strange verbal tic, Shalltear's dropper spear clashed with Seiya's Blade of the Desireless, and as sparks flew, a huge chasm instantly appeared in the ground where the two stood.

Shalltear's stats are actually only at the lower-middle level among YGGDRASIL players.

Even when fully equipped with divine artifacts, he only reached the upper-middle level.

The main reason she is considered the strongest in one-on-one combat in the Great Tomb of Nazarick is due to her class, race, and equipment.

The weapon, the Dropper Spear, allows the user to restore their HP by damaging enemies.

The true progenitor of the vampire race possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities.

There are also those with a special profession: Blood Drinkers.

This profession can learn a special skill called "Blood Pool," which allows the blood of victims to be stored and used for various purposes.

It can even extract magic power from it, allowing you to activate special magic enhancement skills without consuming additional MP.

In other words, HP can be restored using the dropper spear, while MP can be obtained from the blood pool of special classes. If Shalltear cannot be killed in one hit, then her endurance is enough to wear down any strong opponent.

Knowing that Seiya was a formidable enemy, Shalltear did not let her guard down and used her strongest trump card—Einherjar—at the very beginning of the battle!
This ability is the strongest trump card for high-level combat-specialized spellcasters specializing in faith-based magic.

It can create artificial Valkyrie that is completely white and looks exactly like itself, with the same combat power and stats!
