- “[Earth Bind]!”
- —And cast a spell.
- Countless chains formed of mud leapt at Cocytus, and Zaryusu broke into a
- wild sprint. He had even hidden Frost Pain behind his back so his opponent
- would not be able to gauge his attack range.
- Shasuryu’s declaration that “I’m almost out of mana,” was merely a ruse to
- deceive Cocytus. If he had taken the bait, perhaps he might have been bound by
- the mystic chains and been hit by Zaryusu’s charge from behind.
- However tough their opponent’s exoskeleton was, he should still be able to
- break through if he poured all his strength into the edge. With that in mind,
- Zaryusu had abandoned defense to focus on the attack, and the resulting strike
- should have been quite strong.
- He seems quite confident in his sword.
- Cocytus could understand how he felt, because much like him, Cocytus felt
- strongly about the weapons he owned. In particular, the sword he now wielded
- — which had once been used by his creator — was especially significant to him.
- Therefore, despite how lopsided it would make the battle, Cocytus insisted on
- doing battle with God-Slaying Emperor Blade in hand, as a sign of his supreme
- respect.
- However, they had made a miscalculation; which was that their opponent was
- Cocytus, Guardian of the Fifth Floor of the Great Underground Tomb of
- Nazarick.
- “…My. Defenses. Cannot. Be. Breached. By. Someone. Whose. Level. Is. Below.
- Mine.”
- The chains of mud rebounded off Cocytus an instant before they reached him,
- reverting to regular dirt and sinking back into the mire. Low-tier spells could
- not pierce Cocytus’s magical defenses.
- [...]
- And so the blade struck Cocytus’s body — only to deflect lightly off. His body,
- which glowed a faint blue, did not have so much as a scratch on it.
- This was the result of the impassable gulf that separated the highest-level
- NPCs of Nazarick from mere Lizardmen.
- “—Forgive. Me. But. I. Possess. A. Skill. Which. Briefly. Negates. Weakly-
- Enchanted. Weapon. Attacks. Once. I Activate. It. Your. Attack. Is. Useless.”
