Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 430 Victory

Three minutes ago.

Arkham, Beyond the Walls
"The third-ranked fighting god among the seven great powers is not a human, but a suit of armor??"

Lokixi looked at Melna with her mouth open, a muggle expression.

Melna nodded. She had listened to the conversation between Allen and the octopus before and had learned that the god of the "Abyss" was not the god of the sea, but Laplace himself.

She held Loki's hand, squeezing it tightly, and whispered.

"Well, this is what I heard when Ms. Aisha and Mr. Rudeus were talking. The master once told the mistress about Laplace being split in two by the conspiracy of the human god. The second war between humans and demons."

Roxy blinked, and memories flashed through her not-so-bright little head. Laplace, armor, fighting god, and the Second War between Humans and Demons dug out distant memories from her mind. She suddenly interrupted Melna.

"Wait, armor? Are you saying that the Golden Knight Aldebaran, the hero chosen by Laplace, is the God of War?"

Melna stared with blue eyes, a little surprised, and said thoughtfully.

"My lady knows much more than I thought. But no, Aldebaran is not a fighting god. To be precise, the fighting god itself is just a piece of armor.

There were dense magic circles in that set of armor, which released golden magic light visible to the naked eye, so Aldebaran, who was wearing the Fighting God Armor at that time, was called the Golden Knight.

Mr. Rudius said that this is Laplace's greatest masterpiece, but also his most failed masterpiece. It will give the wearer unparalleled power, but there is a huge flaw, the armor will take away the wearer's consciousness. "

"Take away consciousness?"

"Yes." Melna frowned and recounted a conversation about the seven great powers between Aisha and Rudeus who had just returned from meeting Orsted in her previous life when she had just 'awakened'.

“The Fighting God Armor provides the wearer with almost unlimited magic power through the magic-absorbing stone on the armor.

It is consistent with the principle of my magic core. Ms. Aisha and Mr. Rudius designed the magic core for me based on this principle using the magic-absorbing stone.

Of course, the technology of Doushen Armor is much more powerful than that of a mortal like me.
In addition to the basic supply of magic power, it will also grant the wearer all the combat skills and abilities that Laplace is familiar with based on the magic array set up in the Battle God Armor.

Hmm, it seems there is a price to pay? Let me think. The wearer will gradually be eroded by the armor and become an 'automaton' that only knows how to fight."

With a loud bang, Luo Qixi almost jumped up.

"Wouldn't that make Alan even more dangerous?!"

Melna reached out and stroked Lokisi's back soothingly.

"No, the Battle God Armor is sealed at the bottom of the Demon God Cave and protected by the maze. It shouldn't be here, so don't worry, mistress. It won't be dangerous for the master to leave this time. And even if the Battle God Armor was really taken out by Laplace, why would he give it to the leader of the anti-Sea God Cult?"

——This conversation itself was deviated to this point because Melna saw that Loki was a little nervous, so she spoke to comfort her.

Luo Qixi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became curious about the teacher and asked subconsciously.

".How can armor corrode human consciousness? It sounds as if the armor is alive. Is there really such incredible magic technology in this world?"

Melna folded her arms across her chest, thinking.

"Mr. Rudeus said that when Laplace created the Battle God Armor, he implanted part of his consciousness full of fighting spirit into the armor through some means. So strictly speaking, it is indeed alive because it is a part of Laplace."

"Is that so? Why would he do that?"

"Well, on the one hand, it seems that they are worried that the wearer will be bewitched by the human god, so they want to strengthen the other party's belief in defeating the human god. On the other hand, they are worried that the wearer will realize that the enemy he is facing is a god, and thus become afraid."

At this point, Melna was suddenly stunned. She glanced at Cole, who was trying to listen seriously and integrate into the small circle of 'Alan's wives', but was confused because he couldn't understand what people were saying at all.

"So, this method of transferring consciousness is similar to the splitting ability of Altpus. Its eyeballs are also split in consciousness. Did Laplace use this as inspiration when designing the Battle God Armor?"

Luo Qixi sighed, "So, among the seven legendary powers, three of them are Laplace. It's a bit strange."

Then, she turned her eyes and looked up at the sky, recalling the conversation between the 'Magic Dragon King Laplace' and the 'Human God' in the dream in which her human god Allen appeared.

At this time, Loki, who had completely stood on the side of the brave Allen and was very disgusted with the words "man and god", immediately frowned and asked.

"But I heard that the Human God stole the armor during the Second Human-Demon War and made Laplace's armor fight against Laplace himself, which split him into two Laplaces, the Demon God and the Skill God."

"Well, let me think about it. It seems that Mr. Rudeus once heard about the speculation of that battle from the Dragon God.
Yes, the armor was indeed stolen by the Human God during the Second Human-Demon War. He tricked the Undead Demon King into wearing the Battle God Armor and attacking Laplace.

At that time, Laplace used his magic power to shatter the Undead Demon King's brain through the armor, but the latter did not lose the right to wear the Battle God Armor because of his own race's immortal racial ability. Instead, he lost his own consciousness and was taken over by Laplace's own fighting spirit within the armor.

The Demon King wearing the Battle God Armor might not be a match for Laplace at all, but Laplace himself certainly knew how to use the techniques of those magic arrays, so he was able to unleash the full power of the Battle God Armor in an instant.

At this time, Laplace found that no matter how he killed the Undead Demon King, he could not stop the Battle God Armor, so he had to use a devastating blow, the huge power even opened up the Ringus Sea. In the end, he successfully subdued his own Battle God Armor, but he also paid a price, that is, his soul was torn into two by the raging aftermath of the battle.
Eh? Wait a minute."

Melna suddenly stopped talking, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then continued to mutter.

".If Laplace really learned the splitting talent of the sea people, does it mean that his soul was split in two because he had split his consciousness to the Fighting God Armor in the past? His soul had already had a crack before that battle, which was an 'old injury' that was given to the Fighting God Armor.
It is not obvious at ordinary times, but after fighting with all his strength, the "old injury" has been triggered. This is why it was split into two at the original gap. If this is true, does it mean that
Laplace's split was clearly planned by the gods from beginning to end.
How terrifying. Is this the kind of god that the master wants to fight against?"

Having said this, after a moment of silence, Melna lowered her head.

Her expression of fear and worry disappeared from her face like water.

His eyes were also hidden among the drooping hair.

This suddenly reminded her of something:

If the above speculations are true, then it can explain why Ms. Aisha is so persistent in asking about Laplace.
She clearly wanted to use her split consciousness to reside in the body of the automaton and perform time magic herself.
Return to the present and save Alan himself.

For a moment, Melna felt a little complicated.

She felt that if Aisha had come into contact with the sea people before performing the time magic, she might have been able to realize her long-cherished wish of meeting Alan in person.

That was almost the goal she wanted to achieve in her dreams, the driving force that kept her moving forward, and the phantom that she was obsessed with but could never touch.

She missed everything about Alan.

But now, the fact is
I took the place that should have belonged to her.

Standing next to Alan.

This is unfortunate.
Still lucky.
At this moment, her hand was suddenly grasped tightly.

Melna suddenly showed a guilty expression and quickly looked up at Luo Qixi, only to find that the other party was looking up at the sky in surprise.

She was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and then saw it.
Inside Arkham, a huge magical sword energy rose into the air.

It was so fast that only the tail of the sword energy pierced the eyeball.

The light seemed to tear the sky apart.

Melna's expression froze.

royal palace.

Alan shouted out "Fighting God Armor" and his thoughts ran through his mind.

At this moment, in response to him, Doffy turned his head and looked at him.

This moment:
Alan stared at Doffy, who was wearing the Fighting God Armor, from a distance.

The test he made with his "reckless behavior" was successful, and Allen, who was already the God of Water, got more information in an instant:
1. Doffy obviously still has the tendency to rely on his eyesight to judge the battle situation, which proves that there is a problem with the "God-level Water God Swordsmanship" inherited from the Fighting God Armor Magic Circle, because Doffy's sense flow did not capture the specific situation of his departure from the battle situation.

Second: The action of Doffy turning his head itself proves that he has insufficient control over the battle situation and lacks experience in fighting.

——The conclusion is: Doffy, with his tenacious sea race survival talent, has not yet been completely eroded by the Fighting God Armor.

It didn't go into 'pick-up' mode.

A very simple judgment:

If Doushen Kai enters the 'substitute' mode, after Doffy completely becomes Doushen Kai's Jinchūriki, he will become a god-level magician and a third-rate swordsman with god-level abilities, and a 'master' ranked T4 in the world of No Job.

In this case, it is impossible for the opponent not to have caught the information that he had just escaped from the battle.

This is one of them.

Secondly, the moment the sound is heard, if it is the 'substitute mode', Doushenkai will take action immediately.

Or, you can just cut directly in the direction where the sound came from.

Or, move immediately and confirm the battle situation.

There is no third option.

Swordsmen who are good at fighting are like this. In a life-and-death battle, "sound" is likely to be used as bait by the Northern Gods to deliver a fatal blow. When Allen was still a Water Saint, he fought with Nakul Jade, who was probably the weakest in hard power, on the way from Buena Village to Roya. He used "sound" as bait as the final victory.

At that time, he cooperated tacitly with Gileno, who was aware of his coming, and successfully used the shape of four legs to induce Jade to think that he was the other party's brother and approach him, and came within the range of slashing. Then he took advantage of the "flaw" of subconscious behavior of looking over when his name was called, suddenly accelerated, burst out with murderous intent, and chopped off his head with a precise knife when he turned his head.

If Judd discovered in advance that he was an enemy rather than a friend, and the other party had many "Red Ink", it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

Allen doesn't necessarily lose.

But there is a high probability that you won’t be able to keep the other person in time.

Possessing Laplace's powerful swordsmanship and magic use ability
However, they need to rely on their eyesight to judge the battle situation, and they also lack combat experience.
Like a child holding a sharp weapon.

So, there is still a chance.

Even if the opponent is Fighting God Armor.

Now, before Doffy completely loses his mind and becomes Laplace's substitute machine,
Kill it!!
This way, there will still be some magic stones left!
In the distance, Doffy was about to raise his head to attack Alan again, but then he seemed to be affected by something, raised his head, and let out a roar!

Roar! !

It rushed towards Alan's location at an incredibly fast speed!

Doffy's racial talent has been constantly eroded by the Fighting God Armor and has almost reached its limit. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many "brains" in the tumors on his body, his thinking would have been affected long ago.

But even so, it has reached its limit.

If you don't believe me, listen:
Laplace was whispering in Dophy's ear.

——"Long-range attacks are useless and can't kill him, Doffy, you should get closer and fight him in close combat.

Close combat is in your favor, as it allows you to squeeze your opponent's anticipation and put him into a dead end where he can only win by sheer force.

Dophy, in the "Abyss", no one has stronger hard power than you right now.

Go ahead.

The 'monkey' in front of you.
Pin him to the ground!!!!!"

The tearing wind instantly hit Allen's face. The latter's pupils shrank, and his senses were squeezed wildly, reaching an unprecedented level of concentration.

But even so, Doffy's palm was more like a mountain axe's palm when he chopped forward rather than a palm knife, and it could even leave an afterimage.

He chopped Allen in the waist, as if he was going to cut him in half! !

But at the moment of moving, Alan had already shouted loudly!
"Dragon Saint Fighting Qi!!! Come out!!!"

The 'gripping' feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time suddenly hit his abdomen, and the Dragon Saint Fighting Qi crystal suddenly shrank a circle. 80% of the original Dragon Saint Fighting Qi was squeezed out by Allen and concentrated on his waist!
boom! ! !
Alan was thrown into the air like rubble!

The smoke and dust pierced through his side.

[Magic: Remaining: 4%]

Fifty meters away in the blink of an eye, he flipped in the air using inertia, and the blowing technique with 2% magic power raged out from under his feet!

The sudden and noisy wind pressure actually provided his body with a brief and reluctant 'stepping stone'.

But that's enough.

Allen's Light Sword has been constantly being improved, and he is not the kind of player who is too stable in terms of territory.

The words of the heart rise and fall.

'Chance.'

The illusion of being grounded came from his legs, and he bent his knees and stood upside down in the air, within the high-speed five senses squeezed out by the Dragon Saint's fighting spirit.

The shock wave behind him swept away at high speed, like a spring breeze caressing the surface of a lake, and ripples slowly spread out.

Bang! !

A handful of flames burned on the spine of the sea creature that Allen had just picked up from the corpses on the ground!

——1% of mana, "Flame Surround".

[Magic: Remaining: 0%]

The shock wave exploded!
Alan's body smashed the incarnation manual in front of him!
'only.'

Focus! Reach the top!

The sword of light! Flashing!
Instantly!

Alan appeared in front of Doffy!

The latter saw Alan's movements clearly. With the sound of crackling and shattering magic stones, an imperial-level mixed magic of wind and ice suddenly appeared from his fist. The ice storm carried the momentum of the fist and hit Alan in the face!

At the moment of life and death, the devastating blow from Laplace flashed in Allen's eyes.

But he was laughing.

How will the battle develop next?
It has already been decided!
——It’s still a prediction!

The point of the light sword slashed by Allen was the Doushen armor on the opponent's waist! Therefore, the opponent must attack him in the direction of his sword, so as to smash him and his sword into a pile of minced meat!
Allen knew that he didn't have time to change the timing of his attack immediately during the battle.

so.
Three meters before slashing at the opponent, that is, 17 milliseconds after raising your hand to swing the knife, release the blowing technique with 1% magic power directly above your head!

This is the 'inertial action' that was already determined when the swing was made!
The last two words of Xinyu exploded in Alan's mind, and it was his gritting teeth and roaring!

'once!'

——There is only one chance! That is now!
The sword of light in Allen's hand suddenly slipped out of his hand! His body brushed against the blade's aftereffects but he had already slashed out! The air blowing technique exploded above his head! His body suddenly lowered!
At the same time! The spine-made knife wrapped in flames had been smashed under Dophy's fist.

The knife breaks!
The sword of light is a feint.

The 'Instant Step' brought by the Sword of Light to quickly close the distance between the two is Allen's real purpose!

Using magic as a 'fuse', seducing the magic power being released in the air to expand the attack range?
I can too!

The flames were connected to the magic power raging in the air, swelled against the wind, and expanded instantly!

Boom!!! It exploded into a fireball with a diameter of ten meters!

Unable to hurt Doffy at all, he formed a wall of magic power in front of him and dispersed the explosion with a bang.

The flames flowed away like water.

But Alan's figure disappeared to the place where he was before the explosion.

Doffy was stunned.

The next moment, there was a loud crash.

The giant's body collapsed and fell like a broken building block.

Head, neck, shoulders.
