Ainz - Cure's Breath

The Wild Magic that Cure Elim could use was considered the most vicious of all the spells that the Dragon Lords could cast.

Naturally, it required a massive price to be paid.

But as Cure Elim sensed that it would be destroyed if this kept up, it cast the spell.

Cure Elim’s opened its mouth.

It was not in the way that a serpent would swallow its prey. Its mouth gradually split open, until the fissure reached its long neck. The split portion hung down, as though to make a gigantic maw several dozen meters wide in order to devour everything.

And then, it spewed forth from that massive mouth.

“Soulbreaker Breath.”

It was a Wild Magic spell considered to be on par with the World Class Item Longinus. It was an irresistible power that would discorporate the soul of anything it touched.

This utterly malignant power consumed everything present.

“「Dark Young, block—”

There was nothing wrong with that order. However, it had come too late.

Cure Elim expelled something that looked like a massively thick beam of light.

That beam consumed everything.

In just a moment — no, perhaps it was because he was linked to the Dark Young — Suzuki Satoru could feel the Dark Young being annihilated, right before the beam touched himself. That level 90-plus meat shield, whose defensive strength was higher than Suzuki Satoru’s own, had been obliterated.

It was probably not some kind of instant-death effect, since the Dark Young resisted that.

Then what was it — Suzuki Satoru thought of the trump card he had just used. Was it something like that?

But the black beam that Cure Elim had released did not have the weaknesses of his own move.

Was it an improved version of his skill?

The black beam whipped around wildly with the twisting of Cure Elim’s long neck and destroyed another Dark Young. The Primal Fire Elemental was also unable to resist the instant eradication. Then it was the third and fourth Dark Young, along with the demons. And then — Suzuki Satoru remembered a video clip. It was a video made when a Player who had been about to retire had attached an item to an important NPC. Amidst the storm of curses like “God dammit!” “Fucking hell!” “Son of a bitch!” and so on which had filled the video—

It was—

“Longin— [Wall of Skeleton]!”

At the same time, the staff cast [Veil of Moon].

Both defenses deployed before him at the same time. It was a double-layered defense, composed of a physical barrier and an immaterial magical barrier.

However, part of his mind was coolly contemplating the fact that defensive barriers were useless against a World Class Item like Longinus.
