Albedo - Trump Card

“My trump card is the special skill that transfers the damage I take onto the armour. By using this skill, I can avoid one attack, no matter how powerful it is. Yes, I can escape unscathed from even the most powerful super-tier spell that Ainz-sama is proudest of. However, the damage will be absorbed by the armour instead, and it might break from that blow even if it was enchanted with strengthening spells.”

“Hmmm, this skill is powerful, but the usage is kind of awkward.”

Basically, magic items such as armour would not be destroyed unless they were targeted by specific spells. Also, metal was durable and highly resistant to to pure energy attacks like lightning, flame, or ice. Hence, armour made from metal was hard to destroy. Which meant that metallic armour had high defense, but low HP.

And so, if Albedo diverted the damage to the armour, it would ignore the armor’s defense, which meant that it would be unexpectedly easy to break the armour.

Her defence would fall drastically after the armour was destroyed, and it would make her an easier target. It might be called a trump card, but that was just an empty title to buy time. That was how Aura felt about it.

“Yes, my combat potential will plummet if my armour breaks. However, Shalltear who appraised this armour should have realized it. My armour was made with this skill in mind. Also, most trump cards can only be used once a day, but mine can be used three times a day.”
