I like traveling the most

Ainz did not rush forward.

From the beginning of the battle, he disguised himself as a skeleton wizard who was not good at close combat and was proficient in summoning various undead. It would be better to say that he had been disguised since the Katze Plains.

However, even when the magic chanter came to the front, Xiaolin did not put up any vigilance. He did not think that Ainz would do anything, and silently shortened the distance to attack him.

You also troubled me a little.

Ainz muttered to himself while relying on the experience gained from Albedo's training to block Xiaolin's fist.

To say that he blocked was to the extent that he could only defend one out of five attacks. It was completely a one-sided attack.

In the tenth level, there are three types of magic: [Glorious Green Body], [Glorious Blue Body], and [Glorious Red Body], which correspond to the three types of beating, stabbing, and slashing respectively. The effect is that when activated, the damage of the corresponding attack attribute can be completely invalidated.

However, Xiaolin was like a nullifier, no matter what kind of defensive magic Ainz used, it had no effect, and the fists that landed on him were burning.

What a joke!

Doesn't a fist count as a beating damage?

Although I had guessed it long ago, it was really fast, maybe not as fast as the floor guardians, but still quite fast. Fortunately, Xiaolin's attack didn't seem to cause any substantial damage. If it really reduced his health significantly, Ainz might have fallen to the ground now.

After watching the battle of the King of Destruction, Ainz knew that he was not qualified to be a vanguard.

Of course, Ainz also had the option of using [Perfect Warrior] and wearing his friend Takimi's world champion armor - the level was equivalent to a world-class item, and he would definitely be able to compete with it. But he couldn't do that. Xiaolin was now best at hand-to-hand combat, and it would be a foolish choice to fight with his weakest side.

Even so, Ainz was forced to fight and the hard work of taking on the vanguard was rewarded.

Magic flew from the back.

It was the ninth-level [Vermillion Nova] released by the Elemental Skeleton, and it was also the highest-level fire-type personal attack magic.

At the same time, Ainz also activated the ninth-level magic [Nuclear Explosion], which dealt half of the fire attribute and half of the assault attribute, which was relatively weak among the same level. However, it also had the highest range of effect among all magics, and could give a strong knockback effect and multiple abnormal states such as poisoning, blindness, and hearing loss.

Ainz felt the strong water element in the battle with Xiaolin, so he wanted to test whether he could offset this breath. At the same time, he roughly guessed the main reason why Cocytus was eliminated.

Xiaolin's attacking hand showed no sign of slowing down, and his fists continued to attack Ainz. Even though his whole body was bathed in flames, his attacks were not disordered.

Indeed, if he had made up his mind as a warrior, this might be natural, but this was too unshakable! Weren't you originally a priest? You changed your profession too quickly!

In this case——

Ainz held the guild staff and landed heavily on the ground, and the ground cracked open like a trap, blocking Xiaolin's movements.

The ninth-level magic [Earth Crack] gives negative effects such as one-hit death, continuous damage, and movement obstruction, and most importantly, it is a faith magic.

Who said that the Skeleton Master can't use faith magic?

Although Xiaolin doesn't seem to suffer from negative effects such as poisoning, blindness, and weakness, he will still be blocked by the terrain as a physical body, so Ainz's choice is correct. He used magic to suppress Xiaolin's movements.

It's not over yet!

Since fire attribute magic has no effect, let's switch to ice attribute!

As the elemental skeleton finished chanting, claws containing extremely cold air appeared around it, and then fell hard on Xiaolin's body and pulled outwards, tearing the opponent apart like eating steak.

Although this magic can only cause simple damage without additional effects, the amount of damage is the highest among ice magic.

How is it?

Ainz waited quietly for a while.

Since [Magic Essence] and [Life Essence] had no effect, he could only rely on his naked eyes or senses to judge Xiaolin's condition.

The condensed frost turned into water after the breeze blew, and then turned into water elements and merged into Xiaolin's body little by little, actually replenishing his magic? !

Ainz secretly smacked his lips.

But his hands did not stop, and he used the ninth-level magic [Ten Thousand Thunders] again, while the elemental skeleton activated the tenth-level magic [Super Acid Mist]. By the way, this is a magic that Ainz has never learned, and it is because he can use it that he summoned the elemental skeleton.

The mist is highly acidic, and while causing damage, it can also cause a little damage to the weapon equipped by the target.

Ainz is not sure whether Xiaolin's condition is caused by himself or by the change of equipment, so he is worried and adds another [Higher Item Destruction].

Obviously, the weapons that are a little further away are affected, but Ainz in close combat is not affected at all. This is also because of the benefits brought by the special law of magic.

Xiaolin stopped and shook his body as if he was uncomfortable.

Ainz couldn't judge with magic, but he felt that among the four types of damage, acid caused the most damage.

But even so, the damage was still minimal.

Xiaolin just waved his hand, and the acid mist that enveloped him was completely purified - was it really the water element?

At the same time, [Higher Item Destruction] has no effect. It can be concluded that it is a certain state, rather than the effect brought by world-class items.

The fire attribute has no effect, the thunder attribute has no effect, the ice attribute is restrained, the acid attribute has little effect, the necromantic element is restrained, and the faith and sacred elements are effective.

This is the information Ainz summarized.

He is not doing useless work!

In short, it is best to repeat the acid attribute first, and then delay the time, etc...

"It hurts!"

While Ainz was thinking, he received another punch from Krillin, and the burning sensation made his brain tremble again. And at this time, how he hoped that the [forced calmness] that he had previously spurned and felt was useless could drive away this pain.

But thanks to Xiaolin ignoring his summons and coming straight to him, the elemental skeleton in the distance finally prepared the tenth level magic [Seven Holy Envoys].

This is faith-based magic.

The effect is that the seven attributes are combined into one to inject a percentage of magic power to increase the damage. At the same time, the attack will be boosted based on the justice value of both parties. Note that it does not look at whether the caster's justice value is a positive number, but only the difference between the two sides' justice values ​​- this is also one of the counterattack methods specially designed by the game for the skeleton archmage to deal with the faith-based magic caster.

Ainz's justice value is -500, and Krillin's justice value is about +500. How to fill the gap of 1000 values?

Come on, let me see it!

The huge magic cannon stopped and fell hard on Xiao Lin's position. The powerful light wave even broke a big hole in the snowy mountain connecting the kingdom to the dragon's nest. This can undoubtedly be called a great power, and it might as well be said to be a miracle.

Having caused such widespread damage, Ainz did not dare to take it lightly.

Before it was clear whether the opponent was defeated, any cheering would be a sign of death, so Ainz, who liked to battle wits with the air, silently added several defensive spells to himself.

The cautious Ainz was not careless, as he thought, Krillin would not die easily.

There was a slight sound of breaking the air from behind, and the next second a fist landed hard on his lower back - luckily he had strong bones, otherwise the disc in his waist would definitely be knocked out by this blow. He could also guess the reason why Xiaolin aimed at this position, because on the front was his flying squirrel jade.

However, the Flying Squirrel Jade was a trap, disguised as a weakness, and Ainz was eager for Krillin's attack to land on it.

But the question now is, how did Xiao Lin resist or dodge.

"I have a question, can you tell me..."

Before Ainz could finish speaking, he saw Krillin approaching as if gliding, raising his fists without saying a word, as if he had no intention of talking.

Ainz secretly smacked his tongue at Krillin who attacked without saying a word.

It is natural to regard the enemy's chattering as buying time, and it is foolish to respond to the opponent, so I apologize for Kobayashi's strategic exploration. But not having any dialogue at all made Ainz uncomfortable because he couldn't collect any information.

Ainz stepped back, and at the same time the elemental skeleton rushed in and received the blow.

This is an effective use of summons. Rather, the elemental skeleton is no longer useful, so it is the correct way to use it. Priest-type magic casters who want to kill elemental skeletons can only use corresponding purification magic. Even Xiaolin in his current state is the same.

Of course, he wouldn't do this if he was facing Shalltear's dropper spear, but Xiaolin obviously didn't have that kind of recovery method. His means of recovery are water and ice-type attacks, so he can do so without hesitation.

Even in order to hinder Krillin's actions, Ainz also used other magic [Skull Barrier] to try to reduce Krillin's magic power - let's call it magic power.

Now it seems that we have entered into a tug of war and a war of attrition.

Kobayashi continued to melt the wall of skeletons, and his powerful and heavy attacks seemed to condemn Ainz for not daring to fight head-on.

But it doesn't matter to Ainz. If a magic caster doesn't hide behind anyone but stands out without a strategy, it's no different than wanting to commit suicide. Even worse——

During this period of fighting, Ainz was sure that Krillin's physical strength had been weakened, but it was still too difficult to defeat him.

Maybe it's because he changed his profession to become a warrior, or maybe it's because of his current abnormal state. Xiaolin's resistance to magic is very high, and it always feels like it doesn't have any impact on him.

In that case, Ainz activated his magic on Krillin.

【Time Stop】

It was not the [Time Stop] of the ninth level, but the [Time Stop] of the tenth level. Ainz paid enough respect to Krillin in his current unknown state.

Compared with [Time Stop], which does not cause any damage to opponents who stop moving, [Time Stop] is a magic that stops time. During time stop, magic that causes damage cannot be activated. At the same time, magic delay magic is used to delay the time stop. After time stop is lifted, Magic can be activated immediately.

The most important thing is that part of the magic that does not cause damage during the time stop can be activated, which gives Ainz enough room to operate.

However, everything obviously stopped, not just the dust floating in the air, or the water flowing on the ground. Ainz could guarantee that his magic was activated successfully. But Xiao Lin's movements didn't show any sluggishness, and he still flew towards him blankly.

This magic is not even a matter of being resisted, but directly neutralized.

Remembered.

In the Katze Plains, Ainz had used this magic to restrict Gazef's movements, so it was understandable that Xiaolin was on guard against time magic.

No, maybe Xiaolin was now completely immune to time magic.

He did not use it again like Cocytus did, not only because of Ainz's fighting style, but also because Xiaolin had already completely come in front of him. Using the time stop magic again, which was uncertain whether it would succeed, would only put him in a passive position.

The best way now was to keep a distance!

[Upper Teleport]

The magic circle under Ainz's feet unfolded, and he disappeared from the spot in just one second and appeared on the other side. Although the upper teleportation could not leave this space, it was still okay to get around.

But what he did not expect was that Xiaolin also appeared in front of him in an instant, and his fist landed hard on the flying squirrel jade.

It hurts! ! !

Ainz dared to guarantee that fortunately he did not have a face to see his expression, otherwise he would definitely be grinning and twisted into a shameful expression.

Isn't the flying squirrel ball able to resist any weapon damage? Why does it still hurt so much?

And Xiaolin can actually use the upper teleport! He never used it before! Is he deliberately hiding his moves, or is he able to teleport because of some conditions?

Ainz is a little confused.

But at this opportunity, Ainz grabbed Xiaolin's arm - a slender shadow, opened his mouth slightly and uttered a sentence coldly.

"Instant Cut!"

This is the world champion's super crossbow-level final skill, a degraded version of [Dimension Cut], which can completely invalidate almost all magic defenses. It also has top-level destructive attack magic in the tenth tier. The disadvantage is that the magic power consumption is very high.

However, what Ainz lacks the most is magic power. If it is just this magic, he can use it 10 times! With the recovery potion, he can use it countless times!

Ainz is not superstitious about magic, but he must understand Xiaolin's current state, so he uses [Instant Cut] to see if Xiaolin's magic defense can be completely invalidated.

A huge amount of magic power poured out, and Ainz felt obviously weak, but he still held on to the slender shadow tightly, making Xiaolin swallow the magic.

But before he could react, Xiaolin seemed to be unaffected, and his fist fell on the flying squirrel in his abdomen again.

Ainz finally understood.

Magic is ineffective against Xiaolin!

At the same time, the other party's words came to his ears.

"Sir Ainz, you seem to believe in magic too much. My current state is not a character that can be defeated by constantly accumulating magic power from 1 to 100. I have now broken through from 0 to 1."
