Chapter 329 - Bladeheart And Lina Vs. The Weapons Of Pride (II) (2/2)
When I am already a few centimeters away, I activated [Shield Bash]. King Goliath roared and also performed a [Shield Bash] as he thrust his spear to me. It only grazed me but the amount of HP removed is half of my Hp bar. One more hit from it and I will die.
Now I realized the reason why this is the weapon of the sin of pride. The Sin of Pride is the sin that suffers from excessive preoccupation with oneself, one's achievements, one own's power, and only oneself. The shield of Vanagloria represents its own ability to tank all attacks without fail. And since it can tank all of its attacks, anyone who owns the shield will have the same behavior, they will rely on the shield more, trusting it more than the efforts of the user. It will keep itself as an act of selfishness.
As for the Spear of Superbia, based on the damage, this weapon can be so powerful that any wielder will only care about how much damage the spear can inflict on something. I didn't expect this to be the main reason why it is the weapon of pride. However, as much as I want to do, this is not so admirable and this ability is pretty much laziness to improve. It also implores too much reliance on the equipment. As a player who rarely relies on equipment and mainly relies on my stats and abilities, this is a bit of a troublesome thing.
I retreated and pull out another potion and drink its contents before going back to the offensive. I already see a few changes that Lina can almost hit the queen with a skill. It was just that at the right moment, all attacks will land on King Goliath since he will immediately reset the Provoke skill, still, it is better than nothing, but just seeing that there is indeed a small chance for Lina to kill Queen Glass in this process. King Goliath is tanky but it is clear that Queen Glass is just a glass cannon.
Queen Glass shoots out a few spells towards me but they are pretty easy to dodge so I didn't have any problems with it.
”Let's do this again!”
If Pride is something that is built that is too strong to be broken, then I will make sure to be stronger, strong enough to break that stupid pride.
I started running towards King Goliath once again and while I am still far from him, I started shooting [Fireball] at him. It might not be too effective but it is something that can at least preoccupy this little bastard.
When I got close, I activated [Stealth] and used the premade bombs that I made using the skills of the Saboteur and attached it to the shield of Vanagloria. I know it won't be broken by just explosives but I will use this chance to use it.
After the attachment, I canceled [Stealth] and activated one of the skills that I learned after discovering the hidden skills.
”[Blade of the Juggernaut!]”
My sword became a giant sword, capable of cleaving anything. If only it can also cleave Queen Glass, unfortunately, it seems it can't reach Queen Glass in range alone. But that didn't matter. If the small percentage proc, I can ignore the defense values of this Pride weapon and reach the protected bastard.
”DIE!”
I gather all of my strength and slam down the big *ss sword towards the king. I didn't care if the weapon is destroyed. Just screw with this bastard and yeet him out of the universe for all I care.
That was the first time I used [Blade of the Juggernaut]. I didn't expect it to be too big but I am a bit happy to know that this skill is a short AOE skill. Despite being far from being crushed by the giant sword, Queen Glass staggered and fall for a bit after the attack landed on the king.
But still, I know that didn't deal too much for the king, I check the message and saw that it didn't proc at all. I might have damaged the little bastard but it wasn't enough. The bastard is tenacious.
”HERETICS...MUST DIE!”
I wish my Instant Death effect will proc but who knows when it will proc? That one has a pretty much RNG involved that even I couldn't predict when it will trigger itself.
King Goliath stood up. His armor and most of his body seem to have been destroyed. His left arm that has been holding the spear is already hanging on his left shoulder.. However, the guy has yet to die.
