Chapter 58 Divine Might Directly Behind

Inherent ability?

This word took the three of them by surprise.

Skills are not uncommon, but inherent skills are different.

If you have small breasts, you can get breast augmentation to pretend you have large breasts.

Chickens can get implants to pretend they're big muscle men.

However, inherent skills cannot be faked because they are unique.

The traits exhibited by the female knight in front of them are very much in line with the description of her inherent skills.

Because the three men's attacks could not break through Valentina's defenses and could not hurt her at all!

Anton, Mia, and Gray Rat are all quite strong, at least at the level of Gold-level adventurers.

This wasn't just Valentina's wild guess; you could tell from their skills and combat experience.

For a moment, Honeybee and Gray Mouse hesitated.

The fog has now lifted, and the adventurers' support forces are probably on their way.

If we delay any longer, time will not wait for anyone.

"How about we each take a step back?" Anton put down his scythe at this moment. "Although your defense is very strong, it can't do anything to us. We just need to take that mutated magical plant. As for you and the others, they were not our targets in the first place."

"I refuse." The cold voice shattered any possibility of peace talks.

Valentina leaned on her shield, coldly watching the three people not far away.

She only told them that she possessed a powerful inherent skill, but did not reveal the specific abilities of this skill, hoping to discourage them from taking the challenge.

After all, Valentina knew very well that her offensive capabilities were not strong.

It's a little embarrassing to say—but how should I put it?

Her accuracy is generally very low.

Unless the opponent stands still, it is difficult for her to hit the enemy with her shield. She basically relies on her own inherent skills to kill monsters in the underground labyrinth.

Mutant magical plants cannot be handed over.

Although she was not interested in the curse on Huazhen and Tiague.

However, once this thing is taken away by the other party, these people will probably use it again to do evil.

As a righteous knight, Valentina cannot stand idly by.

"I won't allow you to take that mutated magical plant away!"

"You actually forbid it?!" Anton was startled, but a fierce look quickly appeared on his face. "So you've also taken a liking to the value of this demonic plant?"

"No," Valentina's voice and expression were both cold, "I just don't like you guys. This thing might still be worth studying if we keep it."

"You even want to lay a finger on our things? I think you're asking for trouble. You might as well go back and dig up your stinking grave!"

The gray rat sprang up instantly and attacked Valentina once again.

But it was completely useless.

His steel-forged dagger couldn't even penetrate Valentina's skin.

Anton pulled out his magic-powered kinetic gun from his pocket and fired it at Valentina, but it only left a shallow mark on her skin.

"Damn it—this woman's skin is harder than a tortoise shell!"

"It's no use," Valentina stood there, leaning on her shield and covered in slime, "You can't break through my defenses!"

Despite her sharp tongue, beads of sweat trickled down Valentina's forehead.

Her inherent ability does indeed allow her body to withstand powerful attacks.

But correspondingly, any sensations that come through will be returned to her brain in double the amount.

Although you won't get hurt.

But you will indeed feel double the pain.

It is precisely for this reason that Valentina's injured eye has resulted in poor dynamic vision, making it difficult for her to hit her enemies.

"Gentlemen, if your physical defenses are impenetrable, what about your minds?"

At that moment, the necromancer named Miya giggled.

The ancient book in her hands turned the pages automatically, and at the same time, the dark purple magic circle beneath her feet began to operate, and a ghostly spirit burst forth from the pages.

"I have no choice but to use my trump card," Miya chuckled, but a malicious glint was hidden in her smile. "This is an evil spirit that I created by torturing the souls of death row inmates through more than twenty processes. You'd better play with it."

Like a repressed person who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years without seeing a woman, the vengeful spirit instantly launched a frenzied attack on Valentina in front of it.

"Varied----"

Faced with the approaching vengeful spirit, Valentina quickly raised her shield to block it.

However, this kind of semi-spirit is far from something that can be blocked by a shield.

The vengeful spirits instantly surrounded Valentina, forming a layer of swirling black smoke around her.

"That's perfect," Miya sneered. "Now all I have to do is wait for her mind to be slowly tortured to death, and then I can get a new puppet."

"Can't we make our move now?" Gray Rat frowned.

"You've seen how incredible her defenses are, and if you rush over there rashly, you might get haunted by my vengeful spirit."

"I believe in Mia's necromancy," Anton said, leaning on his scythe. "Let's wait patiently for a while. Now we can go and capture the others to use as hostages to threaten her."

"Good idea, since we'll kill them all in the end anyway, leaving no survivors."

As they spoke, the three of them walked toward the unconscious Hua Zhen and the others.

But at this very moment—

A strange noise came from behind me.

It was as if something sticky, gooey, huge, and heavy had stood up.

Anton and the others slowly turned around and saw a huge body coming through the mist like an iron wall.

"That's... a tentacle monster?!" Anton's eyes widened.

"Wasn't that guy already seriously injured? How is he still able to move?"

Miya quickly activated necromancy, but the result surprised her greatly.

"What?! Why isn't the spell I used to manipulate the tentacle monster's soul working anymore?!"

Of course it won't work.

Because the little tentacle monster's soul had already been absorbed by Hua Zhen.

He himself had bypassed Mia's line of sight, returned to the tentacle monster's body, and successfully taken control of the body!

"Ouch—this might hurt a bit."

After successfully gaining control of the body, the tentacled monster's injuries were also transmitted to Hua Zhen.

"No, don't worry—" The little tentacle monster's loli-like voice rang out at the right time, "I'll take care of it for you. Just deal with them properly. They're the ones who turned me into this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Zhen immediately felt much lighter.

Without a doubt, the little tentacles took the pain for him.

"Hey, you idiot—aren't you alright?"

"No, it's alright—um, if—if I can make it through, could I get a reward?"

"Go ahead and say it," Hua Zhen said, knowing that now was not the time to be coy.

"I, I—" the little tentacle's voice was incredibly shy, "I want you to give me more."

"Is that so? I approve of your wish."

The little tentacle just wanted more little lolis to keep her company, what did she do wrong?

No longer caring about Hua Zhen, they immediately launched an attack on the three of them.

At this moment—I am the tentacle!

Several tentacles attacked.

Anton and Gray Rat dodged the attack thanks to their good agility, while Mia used necromancy to deflect the tentacles that were originally heading towards her.

But—the attack launched by Hua Zhen, who was proficient in tentacles, was not that simple.

As we all know, when dealing with magical girls, tentacle monsters usually launch an attack with multiple tentacles at the same time. After the opponent defends or dodges, the tentacles that missed will launch a sneak attack in the opposite direction!

Similarly, the ten tentacles he had just used were a smokescreen to lure him in.

This is all to lower their guard!

The tentacles that had just passed by the gray rat and Anton suddenly twisted and turned back.

This time, the gray rat wasn't so lucky; it couldn't dodge in time and was viciously caught by one of the tentacles.

A large amount of mucus began to be secreted, and the gray rat's expression quickly changed from angry and ferocious to joyful and happy, and its resistance gradually weakened.

"Oh oh oh oh ———— Oh oh oh oh ————"

"How can there be anything more comfortable than an old woman's mine? Oh my god!"

Hmph, I didn't realize he was such a connoisseur of fine wine.

Based on this alone, you are already irreconcilably opposed to Hua Zhen and have a path to your death.

Women are like fine wine, becoming more mellow with age.

It's a pity that I, Hua Zhen, am not a good drinker and only like to drink unfermented dew.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hua Zhen increased the force, using his tentacles to break the rat's neck bones, and casually tossed the rat's corpse aside like trash.

"Now—you are the challengers!"

Hua Zhen made indistinct sounds using the tentacle monster's body.

Nearly fifty tentacles are ready to strike, capable of combining to launch hundreds of different attacks, making them impossible to defend against.

This is the confidence that tentacle doujinshi with a magical girl theme bring to Hua Zhen!

"Damn it—why is this tentacle monster suddenly so ferocious?!" Anton broke out in a cold sweat.

"Something's wrong—the tentacle monster's soul is gone!" Miya had lost her previous composure. "I knew I wasn't wrong. There was a soul here that was compatible with the tentacle monster; it invaded and took over its body!"

"Damn it, you stinky bastard, you better think of something!"

"Wait, don't rush," Mia couldn't help but look at Valentina, who was shrouded in black mist. "That woman's unique skill! Once she's corrupted by the vengeful spirit and becomes my puppet, we'll have a perfect shield!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Valentina's consciousness, enveloped in black mist, gradually sank into darkness.

She felt a deep darkness and a constant sense of falling.

A vengeful spirit surrounded her.

However, the faint, holy aura emanating from her enveloped Valentina like a protective bubble, keeping danger at bay.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Why, why can't I touch you?!" The vengeful spirit's tone was fierce and frustrated. "What a disgusting figure, this huge thunderbolt—those long legs—uhhhhh, I really want to play duo with you to my heart's content!!"

"You—of course you can't touch me," Valentina realized. "I used to serve in the Holy Knights, and I was blessed by the goddesses of pure love, Alice and Rias—you should just give up!"

The vengeful spirit roared and spewed out all sorts of insults at her, desperately trying to break through Valentina's defenses, but to no avail.

Valentina is also trying to find a way to break through.

However, necromancy is a rather special type of magic, even among all the categories of magic, and as a female knight, she simply couldn't find a solution.

After many fruitless attempts, the vengeful spirit suddenly knelt before Valentina.

"Honey, honey, please—just this once! I'll do anything!"

"Tsk—!"

Faced with this servile attitude, Valentina couldn't help but show a look of disgust on her usually aloof face.

"Get out of here!"

"Honey, I haven't had a back massage in so long! I want one even when I'm dead! I'll do anything for you. I can steal tons of gold and jewels to buy you a house and jewelry. Uh—and I promise that if I ever have a body again, I'll work 15 hours a day to earn money and support the family. I'll spend all my other time massaging your back and won't mistreat you—please, please, please—if you promise me that, I'll let you out right away!"

Valentina was astonished by this top-notch swordsmanship and thought process.

"Just who are you?!"

"This guy is an invading spirit," a lazy voice rang out. "Don't believe its nonsense, or your soul will be severely insulted and branded, and your body will become the spellcaster's puppet—it seems I understand which faction of necromancer it belongs to."

"you?!"

The vengeful spirit and Valentina looked toward the source of the sound and saw a faint ghostly fire drifting in the distance, completely unaffected by the black mist.

"My name is Onora Pai Pai, the fourth generation descendant of the Edward family, and also Jin Jin's cousin!" Ghostfire said calmly. "Given the current dire situation, I have no choice but to take action."

"You think you're some lonely ghost?" the vengeful spirit sneered.

"Heh, dealing with a lackey like you is a piece of cake."

"You dare try to steal my woman? Die!"

The vengeful spirit bared its fangs and claws as it attacked Oupaipai.

But at that moment, Oupai's ghostly flames suddenly spread out and completely enveloped it.

"What are you doing?!" came the angry voice of the vengeful spirit from inside.

"Soul judgment, this is the trump card of our Edward family. All the evil deeds you have committed will be returned to you. When I was young—I was, after all, an exorcist."

"Wait—that's—no—no—no—uhhhhhh!"

Valentina could not see what was happening inside.

All I can do is cheer for Miss Jin's cousin from the shadows.

A moment later, the black mist surrounding Valentina gradually dissipated.

It seems the outcome is already decided.

Valentina could feel her consciousness gradually rising back into her body.

"It's all taken care of here, but I'm in a spirit state after all, so I'll leave the rest to you, little girl. Please don't let my cousin's body suffer irreparable damage."

"Otherwise—there's no way for her to be resurrected?" Valentina asked cautiously.

"Haha, resurrection is too exaggerated. No magic can accomplish such a feat, not even necromancy. In reality, we have never actually died."

Onora Pai Pai laughed and said, "It's just that piecing Jin Jin back piece by piece is a lot of trouble, and it's not easy for us older men to do it. If they find out, the bones might be used to feed the dogs."

"Oh—th-thank you—but, what was that just now—?"

"Ah, that's my signature exorcism technique. A long time ago, there was a rather famous exorcist, you might have heard of my nickname—'The Kamui in the back!'" Will-o'-the-wisp said proudly.
