"When did I ever say that this was the limit of my power?"
"? What—"
Esther, full of confusion, was about to ask a question when she shut her mouth. No, she was forced to shut her mouth.
Because, Shia carried the Veled Luken pointing at her on her shoulders.
“—‘Level V’!!”
Her strength grew explosively.
The atmosphere shook violently, and light blue and white magic power erupted in a spiral.
Esther's eyes widened.
"I didn't expect you could actually increase your strength..."
Shia took a step forward, and the ground cracked with her footsteps. Then, the battle began.
Veled Luken swung down from above, and Esther raised her greatsword to block it. With a loud bang, the ground cracked radially. But the arm holding the greatsword remained motionless.
"Even so, it's still far inferior to us."
As if to prove her statement, Esther simply pushed Shia back with her arm strength.
The facts before our eyes are still so cruel and ruthless.
Even if Shia continued to absorb the Friend of the Cheat, allowing its effects to penetrate her body and accustom her body to the "Level IV" enhancement, and even further enhanced it after preparation, she was still far inferior to the Platinum Apostle.
If the abilities of both were quantified, the result would be as follows.
════════
Muscle Strength: 22000 ⇒ [Strengthened to 66000]
Stamina: 22000 ⇒ [Strengthened to 66000]
Stamina: 22000 ⇒ [Strengthened Limit 66000]
Agility: 22000 ⇒ [Enhanced Limit 66000]
Magic Power: 22000 ⇒ [Enhancement Limit 66000]
Magic Resistance: 22000 ⇒ [Enhanced Limit 66000]
════════
The average Apostle's stats are 12000. When in a state of pseudo-limit breakthrough, their stats reach 36000. This means that a Platinum Apostle's performance is more than doubled. And after Shia's physical enhancement at Level V, her stats are—
════════
Muscle Strength: 100 ⇒ [Artifact + Friend of the Cheat + Sublimation Necklace 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement V 38200]
Stamina: 120 ⇒ [Artifact 240] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement V 38240]
Stamina: 100 ⇒ [Artifact 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement V 38200]
Agility: 130 ⇒ [Artifact 260] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement V 38260]
Mana: 3800 ⇒ [Artifact 7600]
Magic Resistance: 4000 ⇒ [Artifact 8000]
════════
It is indeed slightly stronger than the average apostle, but still far inferior to the platinum apostle.
Esther's assessment was not wrong, but it was also decisively wrong.
Xia was pushed out and flew horizontally.
However, there was no despair in her expression that showed she was unable to defeat her opponent, and she still had a ferocious smile on her face.
Platinum flashes approached from both sides.
Shia unleashed a fierce shockwave from Veled Luken, increasing her speed to evade the two apostles' pursuit. After somersaulting mid-air and regrouping, she struck with all her might at Zwhite, who was waiting behind her.
At the same time, she roared loudly, which shocked even the platinum apostles.
“—‘Level VI’!!”
"What!?"
The two greatswords and the war hammers collided violently, and platinum and light blue-white magic energy sprayed out radially.
Indeed, Zwhite crossed her two greatswords, meaning she had to use both hands to block Veledruken's blow. She sensed that the destructive power of this blow was something not even a Platinum Apostle could underestimate.
Zwhite's sense of danger was correct. Cracks appeared in the ground beneath her feet. The dignified Platinum Apostle, rooted like a giant tree, as steady as Mount Tai, was actually thrown back a fraction of a second.
Even so, it was still far behind. Shia's performance was still not enough to rival that of a Platinum Apostle.
════════
Muscle Strength: 100 ⇒ [Artifact 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VI 45800]
Stamina: 120 ⇒ [Artifact 240] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VI 45840]
Stamina: 100 ⇒ [Artifact 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VI 45800]
Agility: 130 ⇒ [Artifact 260] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VI 45860]
Mana: 3800 ⇒ [Artifact 7600]
Magic Resistance: 4000 ⇒ [Artifact 8000]
════════
The shortfall is made up through Hajime's divine tools and the magic of the Age of Gods.
Veled Luken struck the center of the two greatswords, crossed in a cross. Shia continued to pour her magic power into that area. Veled Luken's mechanism activated, and the impact area began to slide away even as the weapons were connected.
Light blue-white sparks flew, and the impact site that had slipped away began to spin at high speed. Zwhite's eyes widened in surprise. Then—
"Look at me, I'm going to punch you through!"
Shia pulled the trigger on the grip.
With a resounding bang, the two greatswords were shattered. A pitch-black spike—the hidden pile bunker—burst through the apostle's weapon, threatening to crush Zwhite's head.
“──!”
Zwhite didn't even have time to speak before quickly jerking his head to the side.
The armored crown flew off his head, leaving a gap in his temple, causing blood to spurt out. His artistically beautiful platinum hair was shattered and scattered in the air.
At this moment, Dolittle in the air, and Fiat and Fuyun Ford on the left and right simultaneously fired a large number of platinum feathers at Xia like shotguns.
At the same time, Zwhite extended his hand, intending to launch a disintegration bombardment at Shia at close range. Esther, holding high her twin, glowing platinum-colored swords, rapidly approached from behind, out of the bombardment's line of sight.
Shia had absolutely nowhere to escape.
The apostles seemed to believe that the increased performance of Shia after her enhancement was too significant to ignore, and so they immediately decided to use "performance suppression" as their divine punishment. Judging from the murderous aura of the apostles, it was clear that they were willing to kill Shia, even at the cost of Zwhite's death.
In reality, Xia is also in an unavoidable danger. What will she do?
…Xia closed her eyes.
"Finally gave up!"
I heard Esther say this. Closing my eyes in this situation, I couldn't imagine any other reason other than giving up. It was only natural for Esther to assume so.
However, the monster rabbit before him certainly wasn't the type to simply wait for death.
The next moment, all the attacks missed.
“““““!?”””””””
The cold expressions on the apostles' faces were completely replaced by confusion and astonishment.
This is no wonder, because Xia didn't move a single step.
She didn't move, yet all the attacks passed through her body without hitting anything. The reason was an unusual phenomenon before the apostle's eyes—Shia's body was actually translucent.
—Shia-style space magic half transfer.
This magic allows one's body to partially shift to a different dimension, completely immune to any interference from the original dimension. However, Shia herself cannot attack, and is completely immobilized. However, this is undoubtedly an absolute defensive method.
This was actually a failed version of the transfer spell performed by Shia, who lacked magical aptitude. This spell itself had significant flaws. If Shia's body hadn't been heavily reinforced, she might have been shattered to pieces due to the strain, a very dangerous outcome.
Furthermore, the amount of magic power consumed was so great that even a large amount was not enough to describe it. In order to maintain the maximum level of physical enhancement, Shia could not consume magic power at the moment. Therefore, she could only rely on the magic crystals as an external source of magic power.
Therefore, this defensive move can only be used once in this battle.
Of course, Xia would seize the opportunity created by this unique defense.
The moment the attack passed, Shia released her "Half-Teleport" and returned to her original space. She stepped forward, closing in on Zwhite, who had just fired his disintegration blast and lost both of his greatswords. Zwhite, startled, was unable to react, and was quickly grabbed by Shia's outstretched hand.
Xia held that beautiful face tightly in one hand, even digging her nails into her temple.
Then──
“—‘Level VII’!!”
════════
Muscle Strength: 100 ⇒ [Artifact 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VII 53400]
Stamina: 120 ⇒ [Artifact 240] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VII 53440]
Stamina: 100 ⇒ [Artifact 200] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VII 53400]
Agility: 130 ⇒ [Artifact 260] ⇒ [Physical Enhancement VII 53460]
Mana: 3800 ⇒ [Artifact 7600]
Magic Resistance: 4000 ⇒ [Artifact 8000]
════════
Rising again and again, the flow never ceases. The torrent of power surged surrealistically, accelerating the rank of this girl of the weakest race, Shia Haulia.
Shia displayed a performance far superior to that of an ordinary apostle, grabbing Zwhite's face tightly and charging forward, breaking through the encirclement of the other apostles and leaving them behind.
Take the first step and the surrounding scenery will transform into streamlines.
The second step is to generate a strong inertial force that prevents Zwhite from moving freely.
The third step was to exceed the speed of sound, break through the white barrier formed by the atmosphere, and smash the back of Zwhite's head against the huge rock protruding from the ground.
Given the Platinum Apostle's endurance, the back of Zwhite's head wouldn't be pulverized like a tomato. Instead, the large rock would be shattered.
"That's all—"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just go to sleep!"
Xia did not stop. After crushing the big rock, her strength remained undiminished. She continued to slam the apostle's head into the ground, not forgetting to kick it again to make it sink deeper.
Then, Shia fired a "Space Blast" at the trailing Aster and the other Apostles, creating a spatial shockwave to block their advance. At the same time, she leaped high into the air. The ring glowed, and the "Treasure House" released a massive metal block into the air.
It was a metal cylinder with a diameter of ten meters and a length of twenty meters.
The metal block fell due to gravity, and Shia extended the handle of the Veled Luken and inserted it into the hole on the side of the metal block.
This way, you can tell what this thing is.
──Welder Luken's new exterior 100-ton hammer.
Even with the gravity magic reducing its weight, this immensely massive hammer was still wielded only by Shia. She swung it in a semicircle like a pendulum, raising it high.
Zwhite released disintegrating magic power, pulling her head free from its position deep within the bedrock. Upon seeing the dark shadow looming above her, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Become a stain on the earth!"
With a powerful momentum, the hammer slammed into the ground like a meteorite.
Extraordinary arm strength, plus the acceleration of gravity and the increase in weight.
The impact force on the land of the floating island is no less than that of an asteroid collision that destroys the planet.
Zwhite quickly covered his entire body with platinum wings, defending himself with all his might. But...
Facing the impact of sheer mass and acceleration, her defense was still too fragile.
Shock.
The floating island dropped slightly, and the ground shook like waves. Huge cracks stretched out in all directions.
At the center of the crack, the head of a 100-ton hammer stands like a tombstone.
