At that moment, Leisha really was shaken.
“He actually canceled out the spacial annihilation?”
No. That’s not right.
It’s not canceled, but resisted.
If it was canceled, then he should have release a spell on the same level as hers. Only then would it be doable.
However, he obviously didn’t do that. He really did just take Leisha’s magic head on without harm.
It couldn’t be.
“He… Learned a resistance skill?
———— [Resistance Skill].
Those are known among defensive skills as the highest class of skills.
That’s because normal defensive skills all basically operate by increasing one’s own defensive power. To have the skill take any incoming damage so that it wouldn’t actually reach the user’s body.
For example, if a person’s normal defensive ability could take the attack of a level 10 opponent, then after learning a defensive skill, that defensive ability would increase, perhaps to the point where it could take a level 20 or even 30 attack.
But resistance skills are different.
Resistance skills won’t increase the user’s defensive ability, nor would it let the user receive damage and then mitigate that to defend. Instead, that it does is to directly weaken a fraction of the damage dealt to the user.
That’s a completely different meaning from the previous example.
If it was the former, then no matter how much defensive power gets stacked on, in the end there would always be an attack that exceeds that defensive power. That’s what was known as “defense break”.
But resistance skills are different.
No matter how powerful an opponent’s attack is, the resistance skill would always directly weaken the damage dealt.
And the higher the level the skill is, the greater the damage weakening effect is.
In other words, the former has a limit to its damage mitigation, but the latter doesn’t. Be it a level 1 attack or level 100 attack, it would all get the same percentage of its damage weakened.
Only, if one wants to learn a resistance skill, one must constantly take damage until one’s own body start exhibiting a certain degree of “resistance” and “immunity” to a certain type of attack before it’s possible to learn. It’s extremely difficult all told.
Therefore, resistance type skills are the most difficult to learn among defensive skills, but they’re also the strongest defensive skills.
Since Shien could resist even spacial annihilation magic, then, unless he managed to cast some kind of rare unique or special skill, or he used some legendary class magic item, the only possibility left is that he learned a magic weakening resistance skill.
The problem is though…
“That’s a high class magic that was cast with level 7 [Magic – Spacial] skill though!”
Even for a resistance skill, it’s normal to be able to resist a portion of the damage, but to completely nullify it, just how high leveled does the skill have to be for that to be possible?
It would have to at least be the same level as the [Magic – Spacial] skill, that is level 7, for that to happen, right?
And Leisha also had her unique skill’s support, which not only removed the need to chant, but also boosted her magic.
In that case, then unless the other person had learned a level 8 or 9 resistance skill, there’s no way he could do something like that.
But that guy was obviously only level 10 though!
Merely level 10, so how could he have possibly learned such a high level and high difficulty skill?
“He must have used his unique skill, or it’s his the power of his Holy Sword.”
Supposedly, the Heroes’ Holy Swords had various amazing effects.
Such as, being able to increase the user’s level.
Such as, being able to increase the level of the user’s skills.
Such as, being able to mitigate damage to the user, just like a resistance skill, where it directly nullifies a percentage of any incoming damage.
The stories of legend have described it. When the Heroes were facing the strongest demons, with the protection of their Holy Swords, they could nullify a portion of all attacks no matter how many demons there were.
Especailly the Hero who defeated the Demon King a thousand years ago. He could even nullify half of any damage from his opponents.
This matter had been until now considered legends, and were written in various legend compilations, novels, and stories.
In that case, Shien must have used his Holy Sword.
Leisha was certain about that, but also involuntarily shifted her gaze to the bundle that had been on Shien’s back all this time.
That bundle had no sign of being opened at all though.
That had shaken Leisha once again.
On the ground, Shien who clearly saw that got a shine in his eyes.
“A chance!”
Take advantage of his opponent being shaken to beat her into the ground.
Shien made that decision without a hint of discomfort.
Yet, at this moment, Leisha seemed to have suppressed her internal conflict and breathed out a sigh.
“It looks like it’s not just the Holy Sword. Your unique skill is also extremely strong huh.”
Leisha said something like that.
