Chapter 42: The Terrible Shooter
The more he used this power from Astaroth, the more Ulysses realized his previous ignorance of it.
Getting the Abyss Judgment and using the cooperation of the Abyss Judgment to stimulate the power of the Astarrot blood in his body, this is even if he is using the power of the Demon King?
But now, after truly partially controlling the power of Astarott in his body, he realized that his previous self was not even a beginner.
It's like a child scribbling on a piece of paper, feeling like he's using his imagination. But when I really started to draw the simplest egg, I realized how pale my artistic imagination was in the past.
And before he chose to embark on the path of the Demon King, he was the child who could only scribble on paper, and the abyss judgment was the pen in his hand, cooperating with him to do that ridiculous behavior.
If there were nine hundred and ninety-nine steps on the ladder to the Demon King's path, he had always only stood at the entrance of the ladder before, but now he had only begun to walk down one or two steps.
On the path of the Demon King, which continued to extend into the deepest darkness, there were countless stairs below him waiting for him to go down.
What awaits him in the deepest depths, Ulysses doesn't know, but if he wants to fulfill his wish and change the laws of this world, then he must go on.
He didn't know where he came from, but he knew where he was going.
"Bang!" Dozens of black spears shot into the rune rings around Ulysses, waking him up from the darkness he had entered in an instant.
I don't know when, around Valak, a large number of black shadows have appeared.
The silhouette of a human can be faintly seen in these shadows, but the lines are surprisingly simple. It's like a shadow of a human being squashed on a white plane and then painted all black.
The matchstick-like hands and feet, which look like they can be torn apart with a slight tear, give people a rather weak feeling, like a paper man who will blow away when the wind blows.
However, their strength is much more than meets the eye. The dozens of long black hairs that shot over, and even the rune rings released by Ulysses after liberating the power of the abyss were shocked to the point of collapse.
"Da! Da! Da!" In the black shadows, someone raised the drum hammer high and beat the two-person high drum, and a large number of black shadows seemed to gain strength and courage in this frenzied drum beat, and began to shoot more black spears.
Some of the black shadows that didn't use spears began to deform their hands and feet strangely, turning into black spikes, and then rushed towards Ulysses with a speed that did not match the fluttering body.
Ulysses raised the side of the Abyssal Judgment in his hand, and put his right hand on the blade of the Abyss Judgment, and in the slight trembling of his fingers, a few drops of golden blood spread on the Abyss Judgment.
Then, with a flash of blood, like lightning that pierced the earth, Ulysses traveled hundreds of meters with a single sword, cutting off all the black shadows on this line.
The dragon killing destruction sword style - the green tooth blood flame break, this time Ulysses incarnated into a huge dragon tooth is a hundred times sharper than in the past, these black shadows with good attack power have no time to react.
However, Ulysses' breakthrough was blocked by a distance of about a hundred meters from Valak, and what stopped him was the black shadow holding a huge one-man shield in the hands of the three columns.
The shadows lined up early, sticking their big black shields into the ground, as if waiting for Ulysses to kill them.
Those large black shields had extraordinary defensive capabilities, and even Ulysses' straight dash only threw two of the columns away, and was completely blocked in the third column.
The Abyssal Judgment didn't stop there, and after the straight line of the front came to a standstill, Ulysses plunged it into the earth.
A huge ball of black light with a radius of tens of meters suddenly exploded, blasting the surrounding black shadows that were good at defense into pieces, along with the shield wall.
There are no screams or muffled grunts, these black shadows don't seem to have such feelings as fear, and only go to war fanatically.
At the same time as the countless wrecks scattered, a black shadow rose from the ground, and black wings flew in the sky.
"Boom!" The surrounding shooters aimed at the sky together, shooting hundreds of black spears of light.
The shadow in the sky was shot through by dozens of black spears, turning into countless points of light and disappearing.
Then, on the ground, Ulysses held the abyssal judgment in both hands, which was already too heavy to pull up, and unleashed the strongest sword since the beginning of the battle against the two-headed demon dragon in the distance.
Dragon Kill Destruction Sword Style - Dragon Slash Strike.
The great sword, which was more than twenty meters long, turned into a meteorite-like force and smashed into the earth, erupting into a shockwave that collapsed the entire land.
And this shockwave, which was enough to blast through the mountains, hit the two-headed demon dragon in less than a second.
However, even if this shockwave finally blasted the ground around the two-headed demon dragon into a huge crater with a diameter of more than a kilometer and blasted countless black shadows away, the two-headed demon dragon at the center of the explosion and the Valak above it were not damaged at all.
Blocking this earth-shattering sword aura was a white circle of light, in which countless divine runes jumped, and the source of these divine runes was the aura behind Valak.
The appearance of Valak's young angel is not just a disguise, she is an ancient demon who really holds some angelic attributes, and the legend that existed during the creation of the Supreme God.
Even now, when she is severely weakened, she is a powerful person unimaginable in the world of Ulysses. This strength is not manifested in mere strength, but in a higher level of knowledge and understanding of the laws of the world.
The defense composed of these sacred runes is the super defense circle that completely overrides the golden rune ring of Ulysses at this moment.
Even if there is no difference in the essence represented by the two symbols, Ulysses, who has just started with rune control, and Valak, who has already reached the super high realm, are not opponents at the same level at all.
This is manifested in the fact that the Dragon's Breath of Valak's mount can dismantle Ulysses' rune ring, while Ulysses' dragon slaying sword-style dragon slashing attack cannot even change the shape of these sacred runes.
Now, it's really troublesome...... Ulysses hadn't encountered a formidable opponent before, but it was the first time he had encountered an enemy like Valak, who was strong enough to ignore most of his attacks.
Of course, Helen can't be counted.
Of course, the dragon slaying attack is not the strongest move in the dragon killing and destruction sword style, but it is already a move that Ulysses can charge up and blast out in the fastest time at present. The Dragon Killing Destruction Sword Style, which itself is a representative of lethality, encounters a defense beyond that this time.
If you want to break such defenses, you must use stronger forces!
However, Valak did not give Ulysses such a chance.
"Kill him. This is the greatest malice shown by Valak since the two met.
The reason for this was that the more she watched Ulysses use Astaroth's powers, the worse her unpleasant feeling became.
It is because he recognizes the power of Astarrot and respects the character of that adult. She disliked Ulysses, who was not supposed to be qualified to use Lord Astarrot's powers.
Coupled with the extremely bad impression left by the first meeting, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Bang!bang!" The dark shadow summoned by Valak began to beat the drum frantically, and the enemies killed by the abyssal judgment of Ulysses all melted, turning into a blurred black shadow and sinking into the earth.
In the rhythmic drumbeat, these powerful black shadows began to merge continuously, their cores superimposed one by one, and then began to transform with the sound of music.
Eventually, a giant with a height of more than ten meters, his hands composed of countless sharp black blades, and his whole body appeared in front of Ulysses.
He just stood like that, and his whole body emitted an extremely terrifying message, and those eyes blinked like dense stars.
The "Hundred-Eyed Giant" is a branch of a race that has long disappeared in the history of the continent - the Giant Race. That race itself is a representation of power, and has left countless legends on the continent.
At this moment, what Valak summoned was the "Hundred-Eyed Giant" that conformed to the laws of this world, this kind of giant with a hundred eyes had unparalleled strength and super combat vision.
In his field of combat, there are no weaknesses.
And the first attack of this hundred-eyed giant caused Ulysses to suffer a big loss.
In fact, there were far more than a hundred eyes, and they actually shot a powerful beam of light at the same time. This ray alone is far less than the Demon Dragon's Eye of Destruction, but there are too many of them.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Ulysses' rune ring exploded in countless circles, and in less than a second, it suffered hundreds of explosions.
However, it was the Centoups themselves that really made Ulysses tricky.
If it was just a simple giant, he still had many ways to destroy this huge body, but when this giant was covered with the sacred rune circle that had completely defended him with the dragon slaying sword just now, he became an enemy that could really pose a huge threat to him.
"Boom!" one of the giant's hands turned from a blade to a sledgehammer, slamming into Ulysses' rune ring.
The golden rune ring, which was weak in defense against physical attacks, collapsed in an instant, and the sledgehammer that was more than two people tall directly hit the sword body of the Abyssal Judgment, smashing Ulysses out of the air.
Although his combat power has improved by leaps and bounds recently, Ulysses is obviously unable to compete with such a giant of more than ten meters in terms of pure strength, and the power of such a hammer has even surpassed Buster's devastating blow.
After smashing Ulysses into the air with a hammer, the Cento did not chase after him, but raised his hands and clasped them tightly together.
After a twist, his right hand turned into a large black bow, and then a dark black arrow on his left hand.
Lowering his center of gravity slightly, the Cyclops shot the black arrow out of his hand using the basic stance that any archer would have.
Under the power of this super giant bow, the black arrow turned into a black streamer and shot Ulysses in the air with great accuracy.
The weapon that can be switched freely, this is an ability that even the real Hundred-Eyed Giant in this world does not have, but Valak is just using the concept of this world to give this kind of witch's envoy a form that can appear in this world.
These black shadows, as well as the various weapons they wield, all come from the witch trait of Cindy. It's just that now Cindy's body is used by her, and she can exert more power than Cindy herself.
One, two, three...... With a hundred eyes locked, the Hundred-Eyed Giant accurately hit Ulysses with every shot.
"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!" Although Ulysses also shook the opponent's magic arrows away every time, the pain in his wrist told him that he would always reach the limit if he continued like this.
It was Ulysses' first attempt at the power of a top shooter. Unlike the Noble Phantasm Shooter like Lara, who destroys hundreds of Phantasm shots, the Hundred-Eyed Giant's attacks are very simple, but the power contained in them is very terrifying.
It is the power that is naturally born after the physical attack power reaches a certain level, and the realm of breaking the law with force. The Giants' innate talent for strength made it easier for them to grasp this skill than any other race.
And the hundred-eyed giant that Valak summoned at this moment is the reflection of a certain hero in the giant clan that she has found by observing the traces of this world.
There is no Lara galloping on the battlefield like this, and it is a treasure archer talent that can deal with any situation. This giant hero of the past is good at shooting one way, which is to pour all his strength into the bow and shoot it.
This is a technique that any human can master with a little training, but it is extremely difficult for a giant clan whose strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and whose muscles are strong enough to easily open mountains and rubble.
In order to practice this archery skill, which can be called the foundation of the foundation, this hundred-man giant persistently shoots countless arrows every day.
At first, he couldn't even shoot a ten-meter-long rake, and every time he shot an arrow, he didn't know where it flew. For this reason, more than one of his kindreds laughed at him, believing that he had misused the strength talents of the Giants.
Born with super strength, the giants don't need to use bows and arrows at all, they only need to use heavy melee weapons to sweep through all enemies.
However, he did not give up, and continued this simple and tedious exercise every day, until one day, he finally shot the rake for the first time.
Since then, the shooter profession has given birth to a class that only appears for this race - giant shooter.
A hundred eyes gave him an extraordinary talent for locking, and despite using a giant bow, he could shoot butterflies from leaves ten kilometers away.
At this moment, in the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Giant's hero, Ulysses, who flew through the air at odd speed, was a precious butterfly that he had to shoot down.
