Ainz vs. Shalltear 2

Okay, how about this? Shalltear made her next move. “Force Sanctuary.” The area around her was wrapped in white light, a barrier of pure magical energy. In exchange for being unable to attack herself, the absolute protection completely shut out her opponent’s attacks. Through the magic, she saw Ainz rush to cast a spell. “Yeah! You better hurry and cast something!”

While Shalltear was calmly analyzing the situation, another of Ainz’s spells was taking effect. “Maximize Magic: Thousand Bone
Lance!”

Erupting from the earth in a wide area around Ainz, innumerable—not just a thousand or two thousand—giant spears made from bone thrust forward with great force. A cluster of the spears pounded into the barrier over and over with loud crashes as they drove home. Then, with the sound of breaking glass, Shalltear’s barrier grew brittle and was smashed apart. Shattered fragments scattered into the air, then melted away to leave no trace behind.

“Tch!”

She’d spent a fair amount of MP on that barrier, and it had been broken in one hit. Something like this went beyond all her expectations, but as she stewed over it she was attacked again.
