What did you do with the dice?

"Go ahead, Rat!"

The Rusalkas hadn't arrived yet, so after calculating the approximate distance, they took the lead and flung a rat at the other side.

Salinas quickly transformed the "Thousand Illusions" in his hand into a shield. However, when the mouse hit the shield, a huge golden barrier suddenly unfolded with the ground under the mouse as the center.

Dazzling light surged within the barrier. Salinas felt as if he had been thrown into a pool of holy water, his entire body aching as if pierced by thousands of needles.

Then, the sacred rat completed its life mission and exploded into a bloody mist due to the exhaustion of its magic.

[Forbidden spell, a noble spell that does not require concentration.]

【Duration: 1 day.】

Creates a ward against magical travel, covering up to 40000 square feet of ground and 30 feet above it. Creatures cannot teleport into the area, and no teleportation is permitted within the area for the duration of the spell. Additionally, this spell damages creatures of your choice. Choose one or more of the following: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. Each turn a chosen creature remains within the area, the chosen creature takes 5d10 points of radiant/necrotic damage.

If we put aside the strictly limited valuable spellcasting materials and make one of the twelve stones in Sanita's hand disappear, this spell will be the most natural long-term restraint spell for the demon in front of us. In a place like hell, you can open such a barrier and burn 1000 gold coins at a time for ten minutes a day to maintain it for thirty days. It is more than enough to write a new novel like "I Have a Safe Villa in Hell", probably.

Salinas didn't know what Sanita had done, but he knew that if he stayed in this place he would only continue to suffer from the torture of the holy light. But when he wanted to give up the damn black ball in front of him and stepped back to escape from the range of the barrier, Rusalka had already rushed in front of him and drew his sword without hesitation to chop him on the forehead.

Only then did he realize that the space around him had been firmly fixed, and he was unable to teleport within the barrier using the Purgatory Teleportation method.

This small barrier restricted his movements, and he was forced to raise his shield to block the attack of Rusalka, an unknown person.

But even after blocking Rusalka's attack, his entire body was still burning and smoking from the holy air that permeated this space. The demonic power that had already been consumed in his body was once again dissipated at the speed of light to repair his body. "You damned mage! Since you, an ant, want to die so badly, I will grant your wish!"

Salinas was filled with rage. Just when he was about to shake Rusalka away and turn "Thousand Illusions" into a spear, thrusting it directly into his throat to inflict the most painful death on this damned human, he discovered that his shield seemed to be leaning against a lava volcano in hell. No matter how hard he pushed, it didn't move at all.

"Watch the shield!" Rusalka slammed the shield in her hand forward. The sudden clam shell knocked Salinas to the side, leaving two sliding marks under his feet, which made his head buzz.

Although the slap from the shield didn't do much damage, it was extremely insulting. The thought of being hit by a nobody with an ugly clam shell that was a joke made Salinas feel the rage rising in his heart. All the anger he had ever felt in his life put together was too much.

Rusalka: (Shields don't count as weapon hits, so I can't perform the Holy Slash. How unfair!)

Sanitita: (I think your shield is powerful enough. In the Age of Gods War, if you survived, you could boast for the rest of your life, "Grandson, your grandfather used a clam shell to hit a demon lord in the head.")

Rusalka: (There's nothing to be proud of. I was just beating another grandson. I painstakingly crafted this build for so long, and it landed me in this shabby place. What kind of reward would justify all the hardships I've endured? That's right, it's now! It's time to become a grandfather!)

Sanita gave his ungrateful brother a thumbs-up in his heart: (You are really awesome.)

A level 11 player defeating a demon lord who's at least level 18? In reality, the only way to win is if the player stands up and tells the DM, "I'm going to attack you with my fists. What's your AC (defense value)?"

However, the opponent's condition did not seem to be complete. He must have been exhausted by Hydra and Phoenix in a round. Rusalka seemed to have emptied his ring position and holy healing pool. In fact, for his current construction, it was just the warm-up stage.

In addition, if this demon lord is not smart enough and stands still in this barrier and takes 5d10 radiant damage every 10 seconds, then Sanita is conservative but optimistic about the current battle situation - it doesn't matter if Rusalka misses, if he burns for more than ten minutes, he can roast a dragon with actual health adjusted.

However, he had already prepared the banishment spell. He would wait and see when the boss transformed several times and hit Rusalka so hard that she screamed for help. Then he would find a chance to see if he could banish this guy back.

Go back to where you came from!

Chapter 207 The Devil’s Feast (9)

When Rusalka grabbed the shield in the air, Salinas saw the opportunity to transform Qianhuan into a trident and stabbed Rusalka's open abdomen.

Rusalka didn't react in time and could only take the bullet head-on. He frowned as he looked at the damage type prompt that popped up on the system, which showed [Adaptive damage (no attribute magic), hp-20], and quickly moved sideways to distance himself.

This was the first time he saw the other party holding a weapon with adaptive damage characteristics similar to the [Magic Contract Weapon]. As a result, the characteristics of Hamlet's Shield were greatly weakened.

Rushaka without Hamlet's Shield is like a Double Dome without an IP Link Summon; it's no longer the "invincible" fighting champion. (In Yu-Gi-Oh jargon, IP cards grant damage resistance to cards they use as materials. While Double Dome can't be targeted, it boosts the opponent's Special Summon monsters' attack power during the battle phase, a classic trait of becoming stronger against stronger opponents. It can also send an opponent's card away after leaving the field. Early on, the IP Double Dome combo was difficult to counter, earning it the reputation of being the invincible fighting champion.)

Seeing that Rusalka wanted to close the distance, the trident in Salinas' hand turned into a long sword in the blink of an eye, and slashed at Rusalka from the side. Rusalka naturally did not dare to be careless and took it head-on, so she used the giant sword in her hand to block it horizontally.

The two weapons clashed, but there was no spark or magical effect, just an ordinary metal collision. However, there was an obvious small crack on the blade of the Ashbringer replica in Rusalka's hand.

After all, the imitation in his hand was only of "precious" quality at best, and it could never be compared with a "legendary" weapon. The gap between the two was simply too huge.

Not to mention that this "Thousand Illusions" has been fighting in the hands of the Ever-Changing Lord Salinas for thousands of years, during which time it has absorbed countless souls and demon blood. Its own strength has far exceeded the concept of "weapon".

The imitation in Rusalka's hand was still at the level of a weapon. Even though the weight of the greatsword could temporarily collide with it, it would eventually be shattered to pieces.

Rusalka: (Damn it! My wife's dowry is ruined! This knife has even shattered her love for me!)

Sanita was riding his chocobo towards Rusalka's camp when he saw the message. He almost forgot to turn and nearly rode his command strider into the wall. (It's normal for a Hell Lord to have a special weapon, right? You, a low-paying, drop-in player, are you worthy of comparing equipment with the hard-working, high-paying giants?)

Rusalka: (You damned demon! Just wait! Once I strike you with this Holy Slash, you'll know what a cheating player is!)

In reality, Rusalka blocked the sword and used the same trick again, wanting to use the shield in her hand to hit the opponent again, but this time Salinas learned his lesson and directly used the "Burning Explosion". Scorching flames burst out from his body, forcing Rusalka to put down the shield to block the flames.

While Rusalka was blocking, the long sword turned into an iron whip, bypassed the shield, and hit Rusalka directly on the back of the head, causing [4 points of piercing damage] and resetting the immunity attribute of Hamlet's shield again.

After three rounds of fighting, although I don't want to admit it in my heart, the winner is obvious. The one who spoke bold words before the game was silent during the game. He was beaten by the opponent without saying a word. His equipment was completely defeated, his fighting skills were completely defeated, and his health bar seemed to be completely defeated. What a hammer?

Rusalka: No, who is the boss, you or me?

Oh, you are the boss, that's okay.

Although Rusalka was a little distressed, in fact, Salinas was more depressed than Rusalka.

From Rusalka's God's perspective, the opponent really had the advantage and was dealing heavy damage to her. In just a few seconds and three moves, Rusalka lost 24 HP.

According to this algorithm, if Rusalka fights with the opponent to the death, it will only take 1 minute for her to lose her life.

But from Salinas's perspective, the picture was completely different: he was the first to use Qianhuan's trident form to stab the opponent's abdomen. You must know that Qianhuan is a legendary weapon. Even Hellfire's obsidian body can be easily penetrated like a piece of tofu in front of the strongest melee trident form.

But the scene in his mind of Rusalka's stomach being ripped open and blood all over the ground did not happen. He only saw that the other party used his stomach to block the trident, and the tip of the blade could not move forward even an inch.

Could it be that he is wearing legendary armor?

Okay, no problem. There are many lucky people among humans who have treasures. This guy can get the support of Esdi and survive on the battlefield repeatedly. In addition, considering his own existence, it is not impossible that Esdi gave him a legendary armor in advance for protection.

You're lucky, but what about this trick?

He used the long sword to trick the opponent, and then used the Burning Body Explosion to force the opponent to raise the shield and retreat. Salinas did not expect the Burning Body Explosion to be able to break the shield. He could also see that this clam shell, which did not have any mysterious properties or enchantments, seemed very unusual. It should be an ancient clam shell from the sea, or even the shell of a creature from the Age of Gods.

Although this thing does not have mysterious or magical properties, it has extremely strong natural materials, and it is not impossible for it to withstand legendary weapons.

But this is not important. He directly switched to the iron whip form, bypassed the shield, and hit the back of Rusalka's head without a helmet.

With this lash of the whip, he could almost see the other person's head exploding like a watermelon.

It would have been fine if Rusalka had dodged it, but the whip hit him hard. However, the expected scene did not happen. The opponent actually used the back of his head to withstand the whip of the artifact, and was not even injured at all. He took a seemingly steady step and put two steps back from him.

After these three blows, Salinas saw Rusalka as someone who had deliberately taken a few blows out of despair, but he wasn't actually hurt at all. He must have some divinely gifted power, and was simply toying with him! No wonder he dared to confront him, this despicable fellow who was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

He himself was in this area where even breathing felt like it was burning his lungs, and his body continued to suffer the damage of the holy light.

Each side thought the other was incredible, and for a while they were wary of each other.

But Rusalka's advantage is that he can stand there and do nothing, but Salinas can't - he suffers a certain amount of damage every ten seconds.

Salinas raised his hand and released some kind of bloody curse towards Rusalka. The bloody threads wrapped around Rusalka's body and penetrated into his armor, but soon a bloody mist rose from his body and flew into the air and dissipated.

Rusalka glanced at the [Save Successful] prompt in the lower right corner of her vision, and immediately stabbed the giant sword into the ground with a smug look on her face. She gave Salinas the middle finger, then continued to charge forward with her sword drawn, using a taunting tactic of "showing off after taking advantage."

Salinas was furious. He stomped his feet quickly and the ground cracked. Several pillars of lava gushed out from the ground and drenched Rusalka who was not in a hurry to dodge. However, the latter cast a [Shield Spell] at the critical moment, offsetting most of the lava damage. Finally, after suffering 8 points of burning damage, he activated the Hamlet Shield and was directly immune to the pursuit damage of several subsequent lava pillars. He came in front of Salinas and swung his greatsword.

The two greatswords clashed in the air, and the armor-piercing air blade pierced through Rusalka's sword and flew towards him. Rusalka relied on his extraordinary perception and reaction speed, or perhaps the protection against good and evil was in effect, in short, he bent down at a very tricky angle and directly avoided the air blade. Then he pushed the opponent away with force, and gathered strength again to slash with two consecutive swords.

Each blow he received was heavier than the last. When the third blow landed, it hit Salinas directly, who was trying to receive it, and he had to kneel down on one knee before he could barely take it.

When had Salinas ever suffered such humiliation? With a roar, he transformed Qianhuan into a shield to block Rusalka's sword. He quickly pulled his hand free, pulled a crystal from his waist, and crushed it.

After the crystal shattered, it seemed as if something was released from inside, turning into a stream of light and rushing into Rusalka's body.

These guys always like to stuff weird things into their bodies, which makes Rusalka very unhappy. She immediately put away her knife and stepped back cautiously, looking at the prompt that popped up in the lower right corner of the system.

[The Outer World talent is activated, making you immune to mind control effects.]

After reading it, Rusalka immediately followed up with a set of unique and smooth little combos - he stuck the big sword into the ground, gave the opponent a middle finger, and then drew the sword again to attack.

Just when Rusalka was halfway through his charge, the opponent seemed to be pierced by the damage of the light within the barrier. The outline of Grand Duke Delei's body gradually began to be covered with cracks, and red light surged out from his body. From Rusalka's perspective, Salinas was like a fireball that was about to explode stuffed in his body, causing him to subconsciously raise his shield in his direction.

"A mere ant is so arrogant, then it's not my fault. Show your true form!"

He did not explode, but his body quickly "expanded". The skin of "Grand Duke Delai", which was originally covered with cracks, became like a torn piece of clothing as his body expanded, revealing the red, wriggling flesh inside.

The bigger the size, the easier it is to hit. Rusalka stepped forward and bent down, rolling to avoid the rain of kunai from Qianhuan's transformation, and drew her sword to chop the opponent's calf.

At this moment, a small hole appeared in Phoenix's body. Perhaps it was from the black ball where the two cats had been hiding and secretly watching the battle, that Hydra's weak voice shouted, "Watch out for his blood!"

Just as her voice reached her, Rusalka had already been pierced by a transparent blood-red spike that suddenly emerged from the opponent's body. Utilizing her own invincibility as long as she survived, she slashed the opponent's calf with her sword, and then activated her 3rd-ring Holy Slash: "Accept the punishment of the Holy Light!"

The light explosion came towards them accompanied by a rain of blood. Although she didn't know the meaning behind Hydra's words, Rusalka, who always listened to others' advice, followed her advice and used the last ring to support a shield to resist.

But how could Salinas let him succeed? A sticky, unpleasant laugh echoed as the splattered blood transformed into sharp spikes in midair. This rain of crimson needles pierced Rusalka's barrier, piercing it, breaking through the already overwhelmed barrier before transforming into a bloody rain that drenched him from head to toe.

"It's too late! Foolish fellow, after losing the Holy Light, your fate will be the same as that of this damned Filin tribe, becoming prey to the slaughter!"

Rusalka ignored him and swung his sword again to chop the opponent's other foot. Then, a dazzling golden light burst out from his body, and his weapon was stained with golden light. After the sword hit, Salinas's other foot was also shattered by the holy light.

【All active resources are exhausted, awakening aura is activated.】

Salinas quickly recalled "Thousand Illusions" and turned it into chains to bind Rusalka. The moment she was bound, the golden light on Rusalka's body suddenly dissipated.

[Legendary action [Eel Transformer] is available. Due to the available active resources, the awakening aura ends.]

When the Demon Lord thought that the scene just now was just a last gasp and breathed a sigh of relief, he found that Rusalka had used some unknown means to "drill" out of the chains like an escape artist.

Salinas quickly transformed the chain into an iron whip, wrapped it directly around Rusalka's body, and whipped it rapidly, cutting his body with the barbed blades.

[Take 14 points of adaptive damage (no attribute magic)]

[【Revenge Shock】Talent activated, shock successful. 】

This sudden reminder made Rusalka overjoyed. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was stunned, she immediately jumped high, raised her sword and chopped it down hard, giving him another blow on the head.

As the light of the Holy Slash burst out, Rusalka's body was once again surrounded by that strong golden light, and a sacred halo lit up on the ground under her feet.

【All active resources are exhausted, awakening aura is activated.】

It's a pity that after the Eel Mutant finished its status, it gave Rusalka a ring position. Otherwise, if the Holy Slash given by the Awakening Aura was used, this Holy Slash would have caused 3 rings of damage.

Of course, he could also use [Eel Transformer] to directly draw the third ring position, but doing so would reduce his remaining 29 health to 1 drop of blood, which is not cost-effective. What's more, Rusalka didn't know that he was hit by the revenge shock.

Salinas, with half his head blown off, transformed Qianbian into a shotgun and blasted Rusalka, who immediately raised her shield, several meters away. Under the burning light damage in the surrounding space, he muttered to Rusalka in disbelief, "How is this possible? You've clearly been cursed by me, how can you still use the power of the God of Light!"

After hearing his words, Rusalka glanced at the pop-up notification in her lower right corner: "You have acquired a special curse that cannot be exempted: Blood Desecration of Reversing Power. Until this curse is alleviated/removed, it will be extremely difficult/impossible for you to borrow the power of the Light God."

Wright God? Who is he? Do I know him well?

Rusalka knew that there was a difference between the "Paladin" in this world and the "Paladin" like him, especially in the source of power.

Again, can the power bestowed upon you by the gods be called strength? It's too superficial. Ours is actually added by the system. Every single point was added by me personally, and no one can take it back.

He smiled and replied, "What power of the Light God? This is my power! My holy light was born from my unwavering faith in justice. I don't quite understand what you're saying. How can a mere curse compare to the sincere devotion of my heart, which has memorized 24 words? You foolish fellow."

He retracted his shield and greatsword, opened his arms, and at this moment, the light effects of his awakened aura made his body appear incomparably sacred. "Since you have seen Pearl Tears, why not bow?"

Phoenix looked at Hydra, who was completely dumbfounded and beginning to fall into the same state of self-doubt as Caster had been. There was a rare hint of boasting in her tone: "How is it?"

Hydra, like the demon lord across from him, muttered absentmindedly, "Could it be that he is the one truly chosen by God..."

Phoenix patted the back of Hydra's head with his tail and said word by word, "He is mine."

Hydra came to her senses, not knowing what to say. However, as she suddenly realized what was going on, she looked at Rusalka's back and pondered his words. Then, she seemed to catch a faint flash of inspiration in her mind, and a faint holy light began to condense around her. "Uh... okay, Phoenix, um, Lord Pearl Tear... I think I understand a little bit about what Rusalka said. Give me some time."

Hydra sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed, took a deep breath, and then dispersed all the remaining holy light that was reluctant to leave his body. He no longer chose to grit his teeth to fight the curse, but completely let it devour the last holy light in his body.

Back then, no one gave Roland time to reflect, which led to the most tragic ending.

But now, she has Phoenix and Rusalka, an incredible human.

So, at this moment, she made a bold decision: to re-carry out the baptism ceremony of "accepting the Holy Light" on this battlefield!

Chapter 208 The Devil’s Feast (10)

If Rusalka knew what Hydra was doing now, she would definitely shout out where this protagonist came from. After being beaten on the battlefield, she immediately started to explode on the spot.

Moreover, the power of self-dispersion cannot be established without destruction. You, black cat, are practicing the magic of wedding dress, right?

Cute, please pass on your skills to me, thank you.

However, he didn't know that everything he did was seen by the two cats in the black ball. Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter, because at this moment, he probably didn't have any thoughts about the two cats. He was enjoying an extreme sense of pleasure.

This kind of construction, where every single move counters the enemy's attack, is said to bring a pleasure dozens of times greater than that of dopamine to card players... It can literally burn away all reason, thinking, intelligence, logic, everything! My turn, my turn, you're not allowed to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rusalka: (When I named myself Rusalka and chose the Paladin class, I knew that all worldly roles were out of my reach. I petitioned the DM, and the DM said, "Yes." At that moment, I knew I had attained enlightenment.

The earthly ties have been severed, the golden sea has dried up, and in my heart, only this sentence remains.

Rusalka drew his sword and stepped forward, leaping high into the air. He slashed down at the seemingly dying Salinas, shouting, "Namo the Holy Warrior Bodhisattva, whose six senses are pure and holy, whose sword strikes two hundred wounds with one blow, whose great compassion saves the dead!"

Sanita: (Uh, if I am guilty, please let the law punish me instead of forcing me to hear these things on the PL channel.)

This blow, with the power to destroy the world, hit Salinas' head. The sacred light exploded along with the sword. In an instant, the air waves surged, dust flew, and the debris was picked up by the impact and scattered in all directions.
