“Boom!”
A terrifying magic power began to surge from the four Warfighters standing before Danas.
It was a magic power far denser, heavier, and more oppressive than before.
Danas opened the book in his hand, causing it to emit a dim light that merged into the Warfighters.
The four Warfighters’ power surged under this light, releasing even more magic power.
“That is…?”
Shien was surprised.
Seeing Shien’s surprise, Danas smiled.
“Surprised?” Danas chuckled. “Don’t be. This book has quite a history. Have you heard of The Book of Plunder?”
“The Book of Plunder?”
Shien frowned.
He had never heard of this name.
But not far away, Maeve, who was slicing several attacking evil beings in half, heard Danas’s words and exclaimed,
“Could it be the legendary magic book that can steal Unique Skills?”
Maeve’s words stunned Shien.
“A book that can steal Unique Skills?”
Did such a broken magic tool actually exist in this world?
As Shien was surprised, Danas spoke with a hint of regret.
“It’s not that easy to use. Unique Skills are known as powers that defy common sense. If they could be stolen so easily, it would be an insult to their name.” ŖÄꞐo͍βΕŠ
Danas truly looked regretful as he explained,
“To steal someone’s Unique Skill using The Book of Plunder, several very harsh conditions must be met.”
“Not only must the target be willing to offer their Unique Skill, but they must also become a sacrifice, self-immolating before The Book of Plunder.”
“Even so, the probability of this book successfully stealing a Unique Skill is less than one in ten. And even if it succeeds, depending on the degree of completion during the stealing process, the Unique Skill will eventually disappear. In other words, there’s a time limit.”
“Moreover, The Book of Plunder can only hold one Unique Skill at a time, and it can’t be discarded. Unless the stolen Unique Skill reaches its time limit and disappears on its own, it can’t steal another skill. This book has many limitations.”
“For example, now, the Unique Skill recorded in The Book of Plunder has less than a year left before it completely disappears.”
Danas then smiled again.
“But fortunately, the Unique Skill currently recorded in The Book of Plunder is very useful to me.”
“It can ignore all conditions and increase the power of magical lifeforms several times over. Back then, I went to great lengths to obtain this Unique Skill.”
“Now, it’s just the right time for you to experience its power.”
Danas’s smile suddenly turned cold.
“Go, Warfighters. Let him witness your true power.”
With Danas’s command, the four Warfighters abruptly raised their heads.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, the four Warfighters vanished from the spot.
“…!”
Shien’s expression turned serious. He raised the Holy Sword without hesitation, the blade imbued with [Demon Sword], and slashed around him.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”
The four Warfighters instantly appeared around Shien as if teleporting, surrounding him once again. They dashed towards Shien at an astonishing speed, each raising their hands and deploying a magic barrier.
“Clang, clang, clang, clang—!”
Shien’s Holy Sword swept across, like a spinning wheel, striking the barriers in front of the four Warfighters. However, it couldn’t break through them as easily as before. Instead, it was deflected with a series of metallic clangs.
Then, taking advantage of Shien’s unfinished attack, one of the Warfighters suddenly accelerated, appearing behind Shien. Raising his hands again, he unleashed several magic whips that instantly wrapped around Shien.
“Look out!”
“Oh no!”
Seeing this, Oz and Maeve’s expressions changed drastically.
At the same time, the other three Warfighters also appeared around Shien. Their hands, hidden beneath their robes, suddenly appeared, each holding a thorn-like spike, and stabbed at Shien mercilessly.
Knowing that Shien possessed the [Magic Resistance] skill, these four Warfighters chose to use physical attacks to finish him off.
The three spikes were aimed at Shien’s throat, heart, and head.
Unfortunately…
“Clang—!”
With a clear, crisp sound, the three sharp spikes landed on Shien’s vital points, but it was as if they had struck steel. Sparks flew as they were deflected.
