Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 398

Flames clung to the longsword, transforming it into an arc-shaped slash that descended swiftly with scorching heat.

"Waltz."

The instant the shockwave collided with the flaming longsword, a tremendous force surged from the throat flute blade, directly countering Roya's attack.

The shockwave collided with the throat whistle, producing a deafening roar. Roya staggered slightly and took a step back.

Shalltear seized the opportunity and used it to cast her spell again.

"[High-level Teleportation]!"

The next moment, Shalltear's figure appeared more than 100 meters away.

Even Roya was taken aback by this situation, and exclaimed, "Seriously, there are so many skills in this world."

It has to be said that when the power system in "YGGDRASIL," a game with extremely high freedom of play, was made into reality, it really felt like the balance was disrupted.

Leaving aside the more than 6,000 types of magic, just consider the 700 races and 2,000 classes. When these races and classes are all made real, the power they can bring to players is absolutely astonishing.

The racial skills alone provide these players with a significant boost.

For example, there's the special undead skill that Old Bone possesses: creating four high-level undead, twelve mid-level undead, and twenty low-level undead in a single day.

These are just some simple summoning-type amplifications. As a level 100 necromancer, he also has a bunch of other miscellaneous amplification spells.

Things like Negative Contact, Despair Aura, Ability Value Damage, Thrust Weapon Resistance, Slash Weapon Resistance, Negative Protection, Dark Soul, Dark Light, Undying Blessing, Unclean Protection, High-Level Knockback Resistance, High-Level Magic Nullification, Ice Attack Nullification, Acid Attack Nullification, Electric Attack Nullification, Magic Vision Enhancement/See Through, etc., are all Ainz Ooal Gown's racial talents.

These are just some amplification-type talents. Someone like Old Bone, who has reached level 100 and is a high-level undead, is almost at the pinnacle of the undead race. He also possesses the most terrifying magic, which is something Roya greatly envies.

Instant death magic.

The terrifying ability that appeared in the original work—ignoring instant death immunity and capable of causing the immediate death of all beings—is called "Death is the end of all things."

Even Roya wouldn't want to take such a direct hit from magic, just to see if the opponent's instant-death magic was more powerful, or if his own body was tough enough to withstand the so-called instant death.

That's why, when these NPCs from the game come to this world, the sheer number of their passive and active skills combined is enough to handle most of the troubles in this world.

After all, their skills cover a wide range of areas and are almost entirely flexible.

Just like the magicians in the Musou Tensei world, none of them are as powerful as the chanters in this world.

The mages in the jobless reincarnation world don't have as many miscellaneous talents. They are practically useless in close combat, and their practical magic requires a long time to prepare, and they can't be as easy to use as the magic in this world.

Its only advantage is probably its powerful nature.

However, these people are not invincible. In terms of game balance, there are various limitations.

For example, Ainz Ooal Gown's instant-death magic is indeed very powerful; even Roya wouldn't dare to confront him head-on.

However, Ainz Ooal Gown also has a lot of obvious weaknesses. Attacks with positive, light, and holy attributes can cause him a lot of damage. He also has very low resistance to physical weapons. Fire attacks can also cause him double the damage. These are his disadvantages as an undead and skeleton.

Take Shalltear for example. Her class is indeed ridiculously overpowered, and her basic attributes are outrageously strong.

However, as a penalty for her skill, she will have a debuff called Blood Frenzy above her head. The more intense the battle, the less sanity she will have left.

Every profession has its own obvious advantages and disadvantages, which is only natural. But even so, these people who come into this world are quite terrifying, and can almost be described as having a dimensional reduction attack.

However, the battle has indeed come to an end.

When he fought Shalltear this time, he didn't intend to kill her directly.

The reason they've fought this far is to buy time and, incidentally, to test Shalltear's strength.

Shalltear, who was in the distance, was panting heavily, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious.

"They actually forced me to use the [Unclean Shock Shield]... Damn humans... Damn it...!"

Shalltear's strong sense of pride prevented her from being pushed to this point by Roja. After only a few simple exchanges, she was completely crushed by him.

Shalltear's eyes grew even more bloodshot, and all reason vanished from her mind. She howled like a wild beast, "Unforgivable... absolutely unforgivable...!"

This time, however, she did not rush to Roya recklessly as before. Instead, she stood a hundred meters away and used another racially unique talent.

"[Summon Familiar]!"

As the name suggests, this is a skill that can summon familiar monsters that obey Shalltear's commands.

The moment the skill was activated, figures formed from darkness emerged around Shalltear. These black shadows spread continuously, appearing in the world through Shalltear's shadow as a medium.

These are monsters of different shapes. Among these familiar monsters are swarms of bats and beasts that resemble both dogs and wolves. However, they all share a common characteristic: they are entirely black, with their eyes flashing a scarlet light.

"Go! My familiars! Bit that human to death!" Shalltear roared, summoning a long spear.

It was a strangely shaped, enormous spear, resembling a syringe.

The spear, named "Drip Spear," is a divine-grade magical item that can absorb a certain percentage of damage and restore the wearer's stamina.

Seeing this, Luo Ya narrowed his eyes slightly. The fact that the other party was equipped with weapons meant that they were definitely serious.

"YGGDRasIL" contains a great many magical items, including some illegal items that can change the laws of the world. As we all know, a game character's attributes are completely different when they are equipped and when they are not. Don't be fooled by how badly Roja dominated Shalltear before; a large part of it was because Shalltear wasn't wearing any equipment.

With such a large-scale operation, it's clear that the other side has already identified Roya as a thorn in their side and is targeting him.

Faced with this situation, Roya showed no sign of panic. The young man's lips curled into his usual faint smile, and Roya said softly, "Unfortunately, this time your opponent is not me."

Before Shalltear could lead her army of followers to attack Roya, Roya struck first.

In the darkness, a golden eye, as fiery as molten lava, suddenly lit up, its dazzling gold like an incandescent light in the night.

"Word of Power: Moment"

Like a ghostly figure, it suddenly appeared beside Shalltear. Shalltear's pupils shrank to pinpoints. She was completely caught off guard, her instincts telling her that her situation was dire.

Her instinctive warning was so strong, yet she didn't make the slightest movement.

It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but that the opponent's movements were too fast, so fast that she hadn't even had time to unleash her skills.

"Oh!"

Another powerful kick sent Shalltear hurtling towards the ground like a cannonball.

Those relatives were instantly enveloped by a huge blade of light and died before they could react.

Roja's kick was quite powerful, and the position he chose was also very tricky.

He didn't use too much force, after all, he didn't want to kick Shalltear half to death.

Hovering in mid-air, Roya's fiery golden eyes gradually calmed down. The young man looked expressionlessly at the huge crater below and murmured softly, "Now, your opponent is not me."

Shalltear, who was kicked into the ground by Roja, was not feeling well at the moment.

Her entire body was embedded in the ground. Even with Shalltear's defensive capabilities, this kick broke three or four of her ribs, and her limbs ached terribly. Her arm was also nearly broken.

However, Shalltear is a vampire after all. Such an injury might be serious enough to break bones for a human, but for Shalltear, it was just a minor injury.

Shalltear brushed aside the stones that had hit her, coughed a few times, and staggered to her feet. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked up at the gathering blood spheres above her head with her crimson eyes.

A red fountain gushed out from the blood sphere and entered Shalltear's body, instantly healing her injuries. However, her eyes became even more crimson.

"Damn humans."

It seemed that this kick had hurt Shalltear, and she finally changed her opinion of Roya, realizing that Roya was indeed a formidable opponent.

Shalltear sensed the surging power within her, took a deep breath, and prepared to charge towards Roya's location once more.

But the next moment, her expression suddenly changed.

She noticed that a group of people had approached her without her noticing.

It was a very well-equipped squad; just one glance gave off a powerful aura.

In particular, one of the young men who was leading the group gave Roya a rather special feeling.

The other person was dressed in male adventurer's clothing, but his appearance was quite androgynous. He had long black hair that almost touched the ground, and his red eyes first looked at Roya, who was floating in mid-air, with a clear look of surprise on his face.

However, when his gaze fell upon Shalltear standing before them, the surprise on his face turned into obvious hostility.

Shalltear's gaze sharpened slightly. She seemed to sense danger from the group opposite her, especially from the young man in the lead.

However, Shalltear's main enemy right now is Roya, not these guys in front of her. But even so, she doesn't mind eliminating any potential trouble.

"The entire race of the group is bound."

Shalltear turned her gun around and cast her spell again.

This is a binding magic that affects all races and can work on multiple entities.

However, the moment the magic struck this group of people, their armor began to glow, completely blocking the attack.

The young man at the head narrowed his eyes slightly and said to those behind him, "Don't let her get away. Use it on her."

The young man spoke coldly, and at his command, an elderly woman in a cheongsam stepped out from behind him.

This outfit looks somewhat incongruous, since cheongsams are typically worn by young and beautiful girls to make them look good.

But if it were an elderly person, it would become a rather jarring scene.

This is not to say that the old woman's cheongsam was unattractive; on the contrary, it was quite exquisite, entirely silver-white, embroidered with a five-clawed dragon soaring into the sky in gold thread. In terms of the garment itself, it could even be called a work of art.

If other young and beautiful girls wore it, it would definitely elevate their charm to a whole new level.

Unfortunately, the person wearing this cheongsam is an old woman with a face full of wrinkles. The skin exposed by the cheongsam is grayish-white, and her muscles have long since atrophied. Her exposed hands and feet also look somewhat ridiculous. Where is the youthful beauty of those young and beautiful women?

Seemingly taken aback by the bizarre combination, even Shalltear, caught in a frenzy of bloodlust, was slightly distracted.

Like Shalltear, Roya's gaze was also fixed on the old woman in front of him.

Unlike Shalltear's strange gaze, Roya's eyes revealed a look of curiosity.
