Zao Wou-Ki looked at the puzzling introduction on the shield.

The light curtain that appears reads: Unlock the Shield of the Damned.

Cursed Shield: Special Form, when enabled, it cannot transform any unlocked Form Shield, and cannot use any of its natural skills.

Zao Wou-Ki has unlocked more than a dozen shields so far, and there are dozens of skills.

But when using the Cursed Shield, you have to give up all your abilities.

What does it mean to be in a special form?

As soon as Zao Wou-Ki's mind moved, the shield on his arm suddenly burned, and a dark red flame rose, the flame expanded rapidly, and within a radius of several meters, his whole person was wrapped in it.

The cloak he was wearing immediately turned to ashes, and the plate armor that the bald boss was proud of was like snow meeting the scorching sun in this flame, sizzling, turning into molten iron, and the armor that cost Zao Wou-Ki ten gold coins had just been worn for a few days, and it was scrapped.

Zao Wou-Ki turned into a burning man, a black figure standing still in the flames, and others would only think that a person was about to be burned to death by the fire.

However, not to mention being injured, Zao Wou-Ki didn't even feel much temperature from this strange flame, Zao Wou-Ki felt like a piece of ice surrounded by flames, and there was no distraction in his heart, only calm.

Eventually, the flames flowed through Zao Wou-Ki's body, cooling and solidifying into an armor, and the armor was integrated. The flames did not subside, they only became smaller, and a dozen centimeters of flames covered the armor, jumping, never extinguished.

The armor style is hideous and domineering, the whole is a deep black, the shoulders are stretched with barbs, and the armor is covered with blood-red flame lines, not only the armor, but even Zao Wouji's face, neck, and whole body are covered with this strange pattern.

The holy shield disappeared and became attached to Zao Wou-Ki in this form.

Zao Wou-Ki never felt stronger, but at this time, he seemed to have changed from an ant to an elephant.

After seeing the panel data, Zao Wou-Ki's eyes froze.

Because at this time, except for his rank, all his information has become a question mark.

Zao Wou-Ki

Rating: 51

Strength:???

Attack:???

Spirit:???

Physical Defense: ???

Magical Defence: ???

……

Only people far beyond Zao Wou-Ki's strength will be shown as unknown, but Zao Wou-Ki prefers to believe that it is because he is in a special state at this time, and the panel cannot be detected.

Zao Wou-Ki felt his power carefully, as if there was infinite spiritual power running around in his body, waiting for catharsis.

He threw a punch forward.

bang

A huge pillar of fire appeared, like a fire dragon, destroying everything dozens of meters ahead, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

Looking at this huge destructive power, Zao Wou-Ki clenched his fists, he finally had the ability to take revenge.

"Master, master." A panicked voice came from far and near.

As soon as Raphtalia returned from the river, she saw her master covered in flames.

Zao Wou-Ki meditated to 'put it away', and the next moment, the black armor turned into flames again, and the imprint-like patterns on his body retreated to his arms like living creatures, and finally turned into the most primitive holy shield.

Raphtalia ran to her master worriedly, the heat preventing her from getting close to her master.

Just when she didn't know what to do, the flames suddenly rushed to her master's right hand like a tide, revealing Zao Wou-Ki who was unharmed inside.

Raphtalia's eyes widened, and then she turned sharply, her ears crimson, because all the clothes on Zao Wou-Ki's body were burned by the flames, and he was naked at this time.

Zao Wou-Ki looked natural and put on an ordinary piece of clothing.

If every time you use the Cursed Shield, your clothes will burst, that's really a problem.

It took a long time for Raphtalia to dare to look up at Zao Wou-ki, and while she was boiling water for cooking, she said, "Master, I just picked up something by the water. ”

Zao Wou-Ki sat under a tree, looked at the blue sky, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Raphthalia showed off like a child, took out a ring, put it in front of Zao Wou-Ki, and smiled: "Look, this is it." ”

Zao Wou-Ki held the ring, which had a wave of magic with it.

Is this the magic item of this world? Zao Wou-Ki uses the spirit to probe the ring.

"It's just a prop to speed up mana recovery, we don't need it." Zao Wou-Ki said, casually throwing it to Raphtalia: "You can sell it when you get to town." ”

Raphtalia wasn't downset, still smiling.

Today is really lucky, she thought happily.

And deep in the forest, where the two didn't notice, two dark shadows were hiding.

"Damn, they stole the ring."

"They're robbers."

"They have weapons, let's not rush on, you go back to the village to call people, I'm here to keep an eye on them, if they go, I'll follow them and leave a mark."

"Okay, then be careful." The man who spoke walked away with a cat.

The man who stayed behind clenched the dagger in his hand: "You thieves, wait and regret it." ”

Zao Wou-Ki and the others had long been accustomed to acting quickly, and they finished their lunch in a short time.

Just when the people who stayed behind were anxious why the people in the village had not come, they suddenly found that the direction of the two thieves was their village.

He smiled coldly: "This is your own death." Then he sneaked along.

After driving for a while, the carriage saw a village, and in front of the village gathered dozens of young strong men, armed with weapons in their hands, and menacing.

Zao Wou-Ki frowned slightly, but did not take a detour.

At this moment, a man suddenly ran out from behind the carriage.

He ran to the front of the crowd, pointed at Zao Wou-Ki and said, "It's them." ”

Everyone looked at him hostilely, pointed their weapons at him, and others cursed, "Shameless thief." ”

"Kill him."

"The noble grandfather said that stealing from his territory is a capital crime, and it's okay if we kill them."

Dozens of powerful men surrounded the carriage and stared at them with unkind eyes, but when they saw the beautiful Raphtalia, there was something wrong with their eyes.

Raphtalia grasped the sword in her hand a little nervously and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

One person said, "Hmph, thief, he stole from us and tried to pretend he didn't know anything." ”

"Hurry up and hand over the things." A man pointed a weapon at Zao Wou-Ki and said threateningly.

Zao Wou-Ki said, "We didn't steal your things, get out of the way." ”

One said, "I saw that you were still studying the ring and lying. ”

Raphtalia's face turned pale, she turned her head to look at Zao Wou-ki, and said aggrievedly: "Master, I really picked up the ......"

Zao Wou-Ki said calmly, "Give them the things." ”

Raphtalia threw the ring to them, and when it ended up in the hands of a young man, he said, "Yes, the ring that my father left me. ”

Zao Wou-Ki said: "This is what we picked up, now you can let us go." ”

They were angry by Zao Wou-ki's indifferent appearance, you, as a thief, didn't kneel down to apologize and beg for mercy after being caught, and dared to say so calmly that we would let you go.

"Bastard, you thought you said you were picking it up, you want to leave, it's not that easy." One man said angrily.

"Despicable and shameless, caught in the present, and looks like it doesn't matter." One said in disgust.

All kinds of ugly words came, and instead of giving way, they surrounded them even tighter, as if they wanted to teach Zao Wou-Ki a lesson.

Raphtalia shouted aggrievedly, "The master is Lord Dunyong, how could he steal your things." ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Then they laughed together, their eyes disdainful: "Bah, it turned out to be the brave man of the shield, no wonder he would do such a thing as stealing." ”

"I didn't expect it to be even more despicable than the legend, and it has degenerated to this point."

Raphtalia wondered why they had such disrespect for the Shield Hero.

Didn't Mom say that the brave are respected, especially the brave of the shield, who is the most respected by their subhumans, because the previous generations of shield warriors have a very good relationship with the subhumans and are the patron saints of the subhuman kingdom.

Zao Wou-Ki jumped out of the carriage, they looked at the holy shield on Zao Wou-ki's arm, and sneered, "You don't think that you are a brave man, we will let you go." ”

"We're just going to tie you up to the noble lord and let everyone know that the Shield Warrior is still a thief, but now the reputation of the Shield Warrior can't be worse, haha."

Zao Wou-Ki said calmly: "I'll say it one last time, the ring was picked up by us, and it has already been returned to you, now, give way." ”

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Zao Wou-ki's tone was turbulent, with coldness.

"Haha, what are you still pretending, who doesn't know that the Shield Brave is a waste." A man waved his fist and rushed towards Zao Wou-ki, and in his mind, he could beat the brave man of the bullshit shield into a pig's head.

syllable

His fist seemed to hit a steel plate, and his bones shattered.

Zao Wou-Ki reached out and clenched his fist, straining slightly.

Click

The man's fist was like a piece of flour, and it was crumpled into a ball by Zao Wou-Ki and directly deformed.

"Ahh He hugged his deformed hand and let out a howl of pain.

"Damn." The rest of the people saw that Zao Wou-Ki still dared to be so arrogant, and without thinking about it, they took weapons and slashed at Zao Wou-Ki.

Zao Wou-Ki thought to himself, then it was just the right time to test how powerful the cursed shield was.

Before the weapon could reach Zao Wou-Ki's side, a cluster of flames rose from the shield and quickly turned into a black domineering armor.

The red veins surged up Zao Wou-Ki's face again, and that powerful feeling came to his heart again, making people addicted, as if they could do anything.

Zao Wou-Ki's face hidden under the pitch-black mask revealed a sneer.

With his reflexes, the movements of those people are almost like slow motion in a video.

He clenched his fists and threw three punches in three directions.

Three bangs rang out.

The dozens of people flew upside down as if they had been hit by a cannonball.

There was still a high temperature in the air, most of those people had been scorched, and although a few people had escaped the flames, the terrifying force had shattered their internal organs, and they were not far from death.

Raphtalia looked at Zao Wou-Ki blankly, as if she didn't know him, how could the master become so powerful.

Those who were going to die, covered in blood, lay on the ground in agony and regret.

The flames converged again, and Zao Wou-Ki became red again.

Zao Wou-Ki sat in the carriage, changed his clothes, and said, "You go and drive." ”

“…… Be. Raphtalia was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Raphtalia thought of the way her master had just passed in front of her, it was so scary, she couldn't help but pat her chest.

Then the carriage drove and jolted over the corpses.

……
