Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1096 The Last Piece of the Team (Happy New Year Everyone!!)

After seeing the attributes of this true "family holy sword", Aiwas opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The properties of this holy sword... are unexpectedly good!
Although as a "ritual vessel" type of item, just like the bell, holy emblem, and whisk, it is a weapon that cannot directly participate in combat or provide damage... but for auxiliary characters, the attributes of this weapon can already be regarded as the level of graduation equipment.

After all, it is a genuine artifact!

——Are all the holy swords of the Knights of the Round Table of this level?
No, just thinking about it will make you realize that it is impossible...

At that time, Arthur had not yet become the Silver Crown Dragon, and the holy swords that the Knights of the Round Table could obtain could only be blessed by the power of the Crown of Heaven. And Arthur's battle with the High Heaven at that time could be regarded as a life-and-death battle in which the weak defeated the strong... If it was not necessary, he would not have been able to devote too much power to shaping the holy weapons.

Perhaps only a few holy swords such as Clarent, Alondite, and the Red-Handled Sword can be considered sacred weapons.

Originally, Aiwas wanted to sacrifice this weapon and use it to reforge the red-handled sword.

The red-handled sword is infused with the three attributes of light, fire and wind, and within it lies the spirit of a knight who worships the sun extremely - and these three attributes happen to form a concept similar to "sun".

If this sword were completely reforged, it would surely become a glorious Sun Sword.

——But this doesn’t mean much to Aiwass.

If they just need to deal damage, Aiwas has many ways to do it - although whether it is Venis, Aleister or Heleqin, they all tend to deal dark damage, but at least there is the little butterfly that can provide fire damage. Compared with damage, what is more lacking is the big beast of the team's auxiliary type -

Originally, Aiwas obtained the "Lord of the Great Beast" profession according to the historical trajectory of the Ring Tenshi, which can provide the ability to transform after fusing with the great beast. Switching the beast of sin is like the transformation of Kamen Rider, using different incarnations for different enemies.

But here is the problem.

As we all know, there is a saying that goes "In this case, wouldn't it be better to fight in red form from the beginning?"

Therefore, in the game, players of the Great Beast Lord profession do not actually switch between different incarnations when fighting different enemies as described in the profession introduction or as the planners expected - players naturally transition to using various types of buffs or vulnerable transformations, as well as various cannon-throwing transformations that can deal damage and can be directly cut off by switching, to strengthen the final strongest and most suitable transformation for output.

The beast of sin that Aiwas originally prepared was based on this idea - so he always felt that the little butterfly that had to stand still to output was not very useful, and on the contrary, the night demon that could leave after casting the curse was more useful.

However, Aiwass had already decided not to follow the career advancement path that Huan Tiansi had taken before, but to take a promotion route that was different from the original history!
Rather than fusing the six beasts separately to form six completely different forms... he would rather allow the six sin beasts to each exert their full strength.

Just as Vignes was jealous of—different beasts of sin could not appear at the same time.

Although he has found a way to achieve simultaneous existence by relying on some of his strength through pastoral care...but that is not a long-term solution after all.

Rather, it was during the battle against the Fallen Angels that Aiwass realized that... if these beasts of sin could appear at the same time, the power they exerted would be far greater than the sum of their parts.

Moreover, Lucifer’s white wings needed to have the beasts of sin fused onto their wings. The battle with the Fallen Angels had already proven that in a battle of that intensity, it was impossible to summon new beasts of sin one by one to fuse.

Once the suppression power is lost, the initiative will be lost immediately. There are even some beasts of sin that cannot be summoned at all, and their abilities are not suitable for fighting such enemies. Even if they are summoned and sacrificed directly, it is equivalent to falling behind by half a round, and this completely wastes their unique power.

Since then, Aiwas has had a new idea:

——He had to find a way to make these beasts of sin appear at the same time and cooperate with each other.

There is no doubt that the suppression power will be many times stronger. When it is finally necessary to combine their powers to use Paradise Lost, the preparation can be completed instantly without having to summon the big beasts one by one.

In the early stages, Aiwass had almost no freedom in choosing the big beasts - he could use whatever he could, and it was basically not his turn to choose.

Leah, the Great Beast of Sloth, is a turret-type fire damage mage. As a turret, she is not particularly fragile, at least she has active defense capabilities. Her evolution direction is to develop towards pure destructive power, and now she has developed to the point where she can grow mushrooms... If there is a disadvantage, it is probably that the range is shorter than the damage radius, which is more fatal;
The Raging Beast Heleqin can control the power of storms and lightning to create a war of legionary scale. He is also a melee profession with super strength and can provide a considerable degree of physical damage. If used in combination with the Thunder Halberd, he can also convert the damage type into lightning;
Aleister, the beast of lust, as a Blood Angel, has extremely strong endurance and mobility. Her endurance is so strong that she can use normal fifth-level power even when traveling.

As long as the beast fully manifests itself in the material world, it will continue to lose power, so Aiwass needs to pay mana to maintain the summoning channel.

But for Aleister, her self-recovery speed was able to make up for a certain degree of power loss, so she could continue to exist and stay away from Aiwass - although other beasts of sin could also exist far enough away from Aiwass, for example, Vineeth, who acted as a crow pendant, could be separated from Aiwass by a long distance.

But if the distance is too far, Vines will not be able to use his power and can only deliver a message.

But Aleister didn't have to do that.

She could even maintain a flight speed several times the speed of sound, easily crossing several countries and flying at high speed for a whole day without consuming any of Aiwass's mana.

Although he cannot use blood magic to directly imitate the abilities of other paths like the Blood Lord, he can perfectly exert the combat effectiveness of the fifth energy level by using the power of blood at will - just like the Sons of the Moon who believe in the Blood Sky Master, the more they fight, the more blood they lose.

It’s just that she doesn’t need to pray to the Blood Sky Master to have the same or even stronger power.

It is this level of mobility and endurance that makes Aleister the beast that appears most often in Aiwas. So far, Venis is the only one who has used the fragments of the Celestial Master to complete the sublimation. She is best at area damage, interference or curse. Her greatest expertise is the ability to debuff... but this ability was useless in the Celestial Master battle before, because her priority was not high enough and the restriction ability could not be used at all.

But that's different now.

With the fragments of the Heavenly Master, Venis's abilities of curse, containment, weakening and suppression can be used against the Blood Heavenly Master!
From this perspective, Aiwass's randomly formed team of big beasts is actually quite balanced. At least there are no two big sin beasts with completely overlapping positions.

A powerful magic main C, a long-range turret mage, a close combat physical main C, a highly mobile warrior who can continuously provide a large amount of physical and magical mixed damage at close range, a medium-to-short range high-mobility magic tank who can temporarily serve as a secondary tank and has quite good blood-sucking and injury-resistance capabilities, and a secondary C who can provide a large amount of range damage and weakening capabilities...

In the "transformation" mode of the Great Beast Lord, the three forms of the Flame Butterfly, the Wild Hunt King, and the Blood Angel are completely mutually exclusive. But if they are in this "team fight" mode, they can form a perfect team...

If Aiwass is a healer, then the team is actually only missing one character.

——The first tank, also known as the "MT". The core of the team that absorbs a lot of damage and protects the vulnerable members of the team.

Previously, when fighting against the Fallen Angels, Aiwass had come to this position on his own - he managed to hold on while taking the beating and healing himself.

After having a proper tank, the Flame-Butterfly, who must stand still to deal damage, can truly exert his ability; although the King of the Wild Hunt is wearing armor, he has no damage reduction, avoidance or invincibility abilities, and is actually quite fragile in a battle at the level of the Celestial Master.

The offensive power of the Fallen Angel and the Blood Angel is not too strong. If it is an enemy with strong offensive power like the Abyss Angel, these two are the type that may die suddenly if they are touched.

Aiwass still has two sin beasts of light and earth attributes, and the sins are still greed and gluttony. At least one tank is needed for the last two team positions to revitalize the entire team. Someone has to sacrifice in a team. The result of everyone wanting to deal damage is that no one can deal damage.

——And this sword is perfect for it.

Damage resistance, blocking, parrying, group defense - and a crucial group 50% damage increase. This type of damage increase is a rare "attack addition", which means that when other people cause damage, the sword itself will add an additional damage. It may be a stream of light, or it may be sword energy... But in short, because the damage is caused by another individual, the increase rate will not be diluted at all, it is a real 50%.

It even has an aura effect that can improve the "Knight's" attributes... A significant increase in attack power means "an increase in attack power of 30%-50%", and if it exceeds 50%, it is called a huge increase. Strong means that the more remaining vitality, the higher the increased attack power, which is generally equivalent to a 20% increase when full health.

And there are actually Cavaliers in Aiwas' team.

——Herchin belongs to the Knights!
In other words, this sword can even significantly increase Heleqin's damage and defense!
Although he was somewhat surprised by the fact that "Mordred was actually playing a supporting role in the Knights of the Round Table", Aiwass had already decided that it was time to retire the red-handled sword.

It is better to have another person to cook than to have another person holding chopsticks at the table.

——That is to say, Aiwass does not intend to sacrifice Clarent to reforge the red-handled sword.

He even planned to completely destroy the Red-Handled Sword - to let the soul of the Sun Knight inside the Red-Handled Sword "move" to the Clarent Greatsword.

If this technology can be successful, the Light Phantom sealed by Aiwass can use this giant sword, thus filling the most critical gap for the team. With it, Aiwass will be more confident in fighting against the Blood Sky Master - after all, reality cannot be repeated, and he has no room to fight again after failure. When he has obvious room for improvement in the short term, he can't rush to defeat the Sky Master.

...Anyway, Aiwas had also heard that although Blood Sky Master went mad as soon as he landed, the specific manifestation of his madness was that he ran around the ground looking for the Son of the Moon to kill him.

Then it won't be a big problem if we delay it a little longer...

Aiwass understood him quite well - among the gods of the Path of Love, there was the Shadow God who was suspected to be about to be expelled, the Mist God who was weak and had no backing, and the Feast God who had a dual personality and half of himself wanted to die. It would never be his turn to be pulled down.

As a result, his unworthy descendants, in their fight for power in the material world and in order to "have an older one to take over when the younger one is beaten", simply pulled the old one down without asking any questions - and the ones who did this were even the only Moon Children who believed in him.

I don't know if Xue Tiansi has the attribute of blood pressure. If so, it should be quite high now.

The technology of moving the knight's soul involves delicate soul manipulation and soul transplantation... Of course, Aiwass himself cannot do such a thing.

But Aiwass knew that there was someone who could definitely help him.

——That’s Haibasha.

She was able to transplant her daughter's soul into a doll to escape death, and now she should be able to transplant the knight's spirit in the red-handled sword into Clarent.

It just so happens that Aiwass also needs to return her daughter to her. She has to go to the Theocracy anyway.

However, speaking of going to the Church...

Aiwass pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea -

There is a cardinal in the Church who is my agent.

Why don't we contact Hengwo and ask her what she thinks of Xue Tiansi?
