After killing the two people, Shalltear realized something.
This group of people are undoubtedly superior intelligence sources to Brian.
Therefore, she planned to pack them all up and take them back with her.
The magnificent and complex magic circles overlapped, bursting forth with dazzling light, and then transformed into a binding halo, wiping out everyone present except for the First Seat who had been knocked away by Shalltear and was outside the skill's range.
"Drink up, ahhhhhhh—"
The white-haired, muscular man who had fought Brian earlier, wielding a giant axe, seemed to be a barbarian. He let out a roar, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his muscles grew wildly, explosively, and powerfully!
They attempted to break free of their shackles by brute force.
It was obvious that he seemed to have a higher professional level than his teammates.
But it was all in vain.
This is a large-scale binding spell applicable to all races, thus reaching the tenth rank.
It might not be as strong as a single restraint, but it was still something someone like him, who wasn't even level 40, could not break free from.
Chapter 43 The Ultimate Big Bang
"Oh dear—now you're the only one left, Arlins~"
Because of her overly cheerful mood, Shalltear once again resumed her usual courtesan-like tone, and her gaze towards the first seat of the Dark Scripture was full of playful mockery, as if she had discovered a fun toy.
The person in the first seat, who was being watched, felt a suffocating sensation, as if a python were coiling around them, and was now drenched in sweat.
He felt he was bearing pressure that he shouldn't have at his age.
……
Five minutes later, under the utterly dismayed gazes of the captured members of the Dark Scripture, Shalltear threw the Dark Scripture First Seat, his face bruised and swollen, his limbs broken and bent, into the crowd.
Shalltear, with an elegant smile, held up the silver-white cheongsam—the World Item [Alluring Beauty]—and held it up against herself, as if she were choosing suitable clothing in a store.
Being able to hold out against Shalltear for five minutes does not mean that the First Seat is weak.
That just proves how strong he is!
Although Shalltear has relatively low intelligence, she was designed by Perorocino to be an NPC specializing in combat. If combat skills and experience are not taken into account, her stats are in the lower-upper tier at max level.
In terms of raw stats, Suzuki Satoru is considered to be in the upper tier of mid-level players among max-level players.
If you include a full set of top-tier equipment, paid items, and superb PVP skills, his strength is at the mid-level of an upper-tier player.
In other words, if Ainz Ooal Gown and Shalltear were to engage in a skirmish, even if Ainz Ooal Gown were fully equipped with powerful artifacts while Shalltear were unarmored, Ainz Ooal Gown would have a very high chance of being instantly defeated.
Even a true dragon king would perish on the spot if he were restrained.
The fact that he could withstand Shalltear's attacks for five minutes, while partly because she only wanted to capture him alive and therefore didn't kill him, was enough to prove the formidable strength of the first seat of the Dark Codex.
"Mmm~ Hehehe~ Shalltear is the best slave, la la la, how will Lord Nidhogg reward me~"
Thinking of the enormous gains she had made beyond herself, Shalltear couldn't help but hum a cheerful tune.
"Oh right! I left a little dessert in the forest earlier! After I finish it, I'll head straight back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, since I've already exceeded my mission target by 417%!"
"I am so lucky!"
However, just as she put the world items into her backpack, humming a song, and was about to taste the dessert she hadn't yet had a chance to eat, she seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.
——！！？
A spear, a katana, a giant hammer, and a greatsword—four weapons with exaggeratedly ornate designs, resembling works of art—spun and hurtled down from the sky towards him.
Although they were just cold weapons, their movements were like those of missiles, and each weapon shone with magical light, clearly indicating that their power should not be underestimated.
Although the attack came suddenly and caught Shalltear off guard, it was not so bad that she couldn't dodge it.
In her haste, Shalltear leaped backward.
But the moment her feet left the ground, cold sweat instantly streamed down her forehead, and she felt as if a huge "danger" had appeared above her head.
An arm completely encased in platinum-gold gauntlets touched her back, stopping her in mid-air.
Looking back, a tall, handsome man dressed in platinum-colored, fully armored with dragon-like features suddenly appeared behind her.
Shalltear felt an endless chill creep into her heart, but before she could react, she was enveloped by a burning sensation that seemed to melt her.
pain!
it hurts! ! !
The field of vision was stained white.
Shalltear couldn't understand where she was. Like a tree branch swallowed by a whirlpool, she was tangled up and unable to properly exert the terrifying sense of balance that a monster possesses.
It wanted to defend itself, but its body was so heavy that it was difficult to move.
However, realizing that she was in a very bad situation, Shalltear still tried her best to curl up and protect herself with her arms.
That was an extreme explosion.
A white flash stained the world red, and the roar and intense heat created shockwaves that shattered the earth, sending sand and dust flying into the air and forming mushroom shapes.
Shalltear was unaware of this, because her sight and hearing had already completely ceased to function the moment she was injured.
"Did you make it……"
Gazing at the swirling dust before him, Chaindulux White Cion, the Platinum Dragon King, let out a soft sigh through the armor he manipulated.
This is the most powerful move among all the primal magics he has mastered, in terms of destructive force alone.
The ultimate big bang.
It's a very simple and unpretentious name; just from the name, you can easily deduce what the effect of this move is.
Of course, the coverage area of just a few dozen meters in front of him is not his full strength.
If it were the real body, the lethal area caused by the super heat wave at full power would be measured in kilometers.
It can easily erase a city from a map.
However, what arrived at the scene was not his true form, but simply a magically powered armor. While its strength was among the top in the world, it was still far inferior to his true form.
Excessive energy consumption will shorten the time his armor can remain active.
This is the biggest weakness of Primal Magic.
However, as a user of primordial magic and one of the few remaining true dragon kings, he is also unable to use rank-based magic.
Secondly, the Platinum Dragon King intentionally controlled the scope of the explosion.
After all, besides the three vampire monsters present, there were also ten captured humans nearby.
While he doesn't mind making some necessary sacrifices, he won't deliberately stand by and watch someone die unless it's absolutely necessary.
Moreover, as the protector of the world, he is more accustomed to protecting it in secret, and therefore does not want to leave too conspicuous a trace.
If this vampire monster, who was suspected to be a player, hadn't been so powerful and revealed such an evil nature, his first choice would have been to build a social relationship instead of immediately attacking him face-to-face.
In fact, he had been watching from the scene for a while.
After assessing Shalltear's strength and personality, he chose to launch a sneak attack, aiming for a fatal blow.
To be precise, I arrived at the scene while Shalltear was fighting the human boy with the gun.
About half a month ago, as the connector of the world, the Platinum Dragon King was awakened from his light slumber by the aura of the world's artifacts, and since then he has been searching for the terrifying aura he sensed.
However, they have yet to achieve anything.
Until recently, he once again sensed the traces of the world's artifacts being used.
Although it was obvious that this was not the same item as the previous one, as the guardian of the world, he naturally had the mission to retrieve and safeguard this dangerous object.
Therefore, they spared no effort to expend energy and teleported to the scene via the Origin Magic World.
By observing the battle between the First Seat and Shalltear, he realized Shalltear's extraordinary strength and the remarkable nature of that human boy.
So, taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness, he directly used the highest-damage primal magic to attack, intending to kill him outright.
The reason for narrowing down the search area was also because they wanted to bring that human back.
Having dealt with players like the Six Great Gods and the Eight Desire Kings, the Platinum Dragon King could immediately recognize that the weapons these people wore were all items from another world.
He wanted to know what the Slane Theocracy had been hiding all along.
"Lady Shalltear!"
Brian and the two vampire brides screamed in panic almost simultaneously.
Because the three of them were responsible for transporting the captured humans, they were currently in the crowd and thus narrowly escaped the explosion.
Although they were not injured, it was enough for them to judge that the person wearing the platinum armor was no ordinary person. Therefore, they all looked at the Platinum Dragon King with vigilance, but did not launch an attack rashly.
Although they had no intention of attacking the Platinum Dragon King, the Platinum Dragon King clearly wouldn't let them go.
It wasn't some sense of justice or heroic sentiment that drove me to want to eradicate the evil vampires. It was simply that, as Shalltear's subordinates, I might be able to extract information about the new batch of players from them.
Before the platinum armored warrior could take two steps, he suddenly shuddered.
It wasn't because he was intimidated by any so-called domineering aura, nor did he sense any danger from anywhere.
Instead, he was attacked!
The platinum-armored man looked down and saw a flaming, silver-white throwing gun, formed from immense holy power, piercing through the still-lingering smoke and dust, and piercing his chest.
Clean throwing gun.
It wasn't carelessness. In fact, although the Platinum Dragon King was confident that his opponent would be severely injured even if he didn't die after taking his attack, he was not so slow to let his guard down.
After all, he had personally experienced how difficult players could be.
It's simply due to a lack of information.
Since Shalltear was already fighting the First Seat when the Platinum Dragon King arrived at the scene, he was unaware that Shalltear possessed this guaranteed single-target damage skill.
But before he could think about it further...
The next moment, a bright red figure burst out of the smoke!
bang——
A long spear with a very unique design, resembling a dropper used in physics and chemistry class, pierced the visor of his helmet.
