Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

In the face of a mighty wave, all tricks are exposed.

This was a huge culture shock for Leila, exacerbating her feelings of inferiority about her own weakness.

What followed was a dark period. She was constantly fighting against evil and had no time to think about the definition of "justice".

She only knew what evil was, relying on her keen sense of smell in the city of sinners.

Not doing evil is her bottom line.

But that doesn’t mean she won’t make mistakes. She doesn’t even know what’s right or wrong, and no one has ever taught her.

She prided herself on possessing wisdom and knowledge, and indeed, during the most difficult times, in order not to hold everyone back, she drastically squeezed out all her reserves, which did help Alexandra.

At the same time, this feeling of being relied upon suppressed her fatal flaws; all she possessed was "cunning," not true "wisdom."

Although he calls himself a strategist, he's at best a charlatan who relies on petty cleverness.

Even her title is the derogatory "Cunning Rat," instead of "Right Teeth" like Niz or "Right Flower" like Alicia. She cannot bear the burden of Astraea's "Justice."

Until one sentence from Leon shattered Lyra's worldview of the six or seven years she had lived in the city.

"Aaaaaah, I can't tell the difference, Leon. I really can't tell the difference." Leila grabbed her pink head and crumpled it into a ball.

That teacher (prostitute) in the sinful city—revealed—didn't teach her these things.

She simply followed behind Alicia, believing that the righteous Star Girl would guide her in the right direction.

Alexandra slapped Lyra on the back...

"Don't worry about the tape. I only have a vague understanding of justice myself. Just like Lady Astrea said, justice is like the stars, so let's go find it together! Our own star!"

"Ugh... I give up. Alexie always does it like this."

"Hmph, you've been defeated by my theory again today, haven't you? You're just as good as me!"

……

Astraea didn't have much time to ponder philosophical questions; they didn't even have time to consult the goddess before throwing themselves into the ensuing war.

Ryu stood atop the high-rise building, gazing absently at the deserted streets, lost in thought.

Is this really Orario?

There was no one there, and not a sound could be heard. Even the cries of cursing the adventurers and lamenting the injustice of the world made it feel as if the town was still alive.

"It was like the end of the world."

The city's inhabitants have all been taken into the refuges of the various major factions, and Finn has ordered the mages to set up the stage for the final battle.

The central plaza is surrounded by ice walls hundreds of meters high, forming a ring-shaped barrier.

The final battle is about to begin again.

On the Shard's side, Erebus went to the dungeon staircase of Rudra to attract the "greatest evil" monster after that day.

He was also wholeheartedly cooperating with Fels in preparing pre-war supplies.

A special gem called "Runeword" was created by the hands of Fels and Shar.

This is a very special technique for using sacred texts.

A single set of special characters can be used to socket equipment, granting it a magical amplification effect.

A specific string of characters arranged in a certain order can completely transform ordinary equipment!

For example, the set that Charles currently has.

[Hidden (2)] Breastplate

#7 Tar + #5 Es

+25% increased running/walking speed, faster spellcasting speed, and increased attack speed.

• Increases equipment defense, durability limit, and mana regeneration speed by 15%.

• Increases agility by a very small amount and durability by a small amount.

• Reduce spell damage (3).

+30% anti-toxicity.

……

Yes, this is based on a special equipment mechanic from an older Diablo game.

These two rune stones can add another terrifying enchantment to the already extremely powerful Tier 1 weapon.

It's like adding magical properties to steel that was originally used for impact resistance!

This means that even if it is just embedded in the Fairy Essence Protector, this set of equipment can increase elemental resistance by more than 80%.

“That’s amazing,” Fels exclaimed.

Although she can enchant items to a certain extent and slightly increase equipment capabilities, she cannot add more stat bonuses.

Gemstone craftsmanship also exists in Danji, just like Rivilia's Supreme Staff, which is inlaid with six flawless top-grade gemstones.

Each one has the amazing effect of increasing elemental damage, and six of them can be stacked together.

Even so, it seems that it cannot compare to some of the [runewords] that Char envisioned.

For the first time, she felt that joining the Silent Garden wasn't such a bad thing after all.

At least, this Mr. Joker in front of us is genuinely working towards the end.

But Charles was not satisfied with this.

[Divine Rune G] only allows him to inscribe the runes before [Number 9].

Even the most complex runewords are beyond the reach of the Charr, which is why they don't go straight for it and directly inscribe divine runes on the weapon—this is the reason why.

With his current skills and abilities, he cannot create a continuous set of runes; he can only achieve his goal indirectly by splitting the runes.

Fortunately, the result was ideal; this set of [secret] techniques alone could increase Allen's strength by more than 5%.

Speed ​​is an extremely valuable attribute. Being even a second faster than your opponent can make a world of difference, not to mention a quarter-second increase in speed in an instant!

In addition, there is another set of [Runewords].

[Resentment (3)] Polearm

[Iss #6] + [El #1] + [Ace #5]

-25% target defense

• Slightly increases hit rate; 50% increase in equipment sharpness; slightly increases maximum damage.

• 100% effective at tearing open enemy wounds.

• Prevent self-treatment.

• Each attack slightly reduces defense.

• Moderately stealing lives.

……

When Gubernau carved a groove in Finn's Spear of Domination, and Sharl used it to embed the runes, a cursed blade radiating an ominous black aura was born.

Staring at the terrifying entries above, Charles couldn't help but feel a chill for Charles.

"Don't die, okay?"

Chapter 206 The decisive battle begins

Seven days after death, the sixth day.

The earth began to tremble, and the "greatest evil" from the underground city was gradually approaching the surface.

"The final battle is tomorrow. The monster is on the 23rd floor; the reconnaissance team can return now."

Finn obtained the latest equipment from blacksmiths like Gubernau, including top-of-the-line combat gear and a cursed spear that emitted a scarlet glow.

As he sorted through the intelligence, he gave instructions to Raul beside him:

"Given the current situation, the chances of me being able to take command are very low, so... Raul, you need to assist Noah and the others in resisting the Dark Faction's attack."

Noyar, a veteran of the Loki Familia, though he had only converted, taught Finn and his companions a great deal about adventurers. Others, like the physically strong dwarf Dain and the Amazonian Bala who looked to be in her forties, were their seniors, possessing rich experience.

“Commander…” Raul’s face was tense.

No, why me? Even if it's to assist the three senior colleagues, I'm not qualified...

No, wait.

If everything was preordained by Finn and the evil god, then what one commands is indeed unimportant, because the outcome of the battle has already been determined!

Suddenly remembering something, Raul suppressed his fear and timidity.

This is your chance!

This is my chance to take over the leadership and seize control of the situation. I can't afford to be so cowardly.

"Yes, Commander! I will take full responsibility!"

Seeing Raul's tense and tense expression, Finn stood on tiptoe and patted Raul's shoulder: "Raul, you're 14 years old now, it's time for you to stand on your own. But it's okay, I've already told Noah and the others the basic tactics, just do your best. You can do it."

Although it was well ahead of schedule, Raul, who had always been Finn's errand boy, was indeed the most suitable person to carry out his orders. Moreover, since the enemy had a backup plan with Raul, Finn simply put Raul on the table and also prepared countermeasures for Noal.

Hopefully, I won't need to go online.

……

On the other side, Ryu also took the wooden sword "Elf's Radiance" that Adi had specially made for her from Gubern. The material was some of the branches of the Great Saint Tree that the Ganesha Familia had later seized. At the same time, because Finn asked the Astrea Familia to take on a heavy responsibility, the city's second-best equipment was entrusted to them.

A special combat suit that increases magic defense and mobility by an extremely high amount, paired with "Silent Earrings" that can block out sound.

The tactics, which practically scream "targeting," are chilling.

"I'm being used as the main combatant on this floor. That monster witch." Kaguya moved her barely recovered body and stepped into the battlefield where life and death were uncertain once again.

Lyra wore a replica of the "Shield of Aquis" that looked like a tortoise shell on her back, an item that Finn had repeatedly told her to bring.

Regarding this…
