"Give me that—prop—!!!"
With bloodshot eyes, Shalltear charged at the squad in front of her, her target the old woman in the middle of the group who had just activated the World Item.
Judging from their posture, they weren't trying to steal any props; instead, they were aiming to tear the other person to pieces.
Of course, Shalltearing the opponent into eight pieces was also Shalltear's goal.
One aspect is verifying whether the cheongsam worn by the other person is a genuine world item.
As far as she knew, World Items were usually indestructible, and it seemed that no one except Lord Nidhogg could damage them.
Therefore, she was not worried at all that her attack would destroy the world items as well.
If it can be destroyed, that only proves that it is a counterfeit product.
Secondly, it's a way to vent one's fear and anger...
In fact, when Shalltear heard that the other party had just used the power of a World Item, she felt not only ecstatic but also a lingering fear that she herself did not realize!
In YGGDRASIL, there are 200 officially released items that disrupt the game's balance—these are called [World Items].
Its background consists of items formed from the leaves (worlds) of the World Tree destroyed by the [Nine Luminaries World Devouring Demon]. Each item possesses power comparable to an entire world and is the top-tier item in the game.
There were too many messy things that Shalltear couldn't understand and didn't want to think about, but she knew one thing.
That is, the effect of the World Item is absolutely superior to everything else. Apart from the World Champion profession, there is only one other World Item that can rival it!
Characters who possess and equip World Items receive a special buff called "World Guardian," which grants them immunity to the special effects targeted by other World Items.
In other words, when a holder of a world-class item is attacked by an effect-type attack of the same world-class type, they will not be affected in any way, unless it is a pure damage-type attack.
Shalltear naturally does not have the profession of world champion.
The reason she was immune to the effects of world items and did not feel any sense of danger when the other party used the items was entirely because Xia Yan gave her a world item before she left the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
【Xu Gui'eya's Cup】.
The effect is that as long as you possess this item, you will be perfectly immune to all negative status effects.
This is why, despite triggering Blood Frenzy multiple times, she showed no signs of mental chaos or berserk state.
Even under the effect of the [Cup of Xu Gui'eya], which provided a combat power boost from Blood Frenzy, it was immune to the negative buff of Berserk.
In fact, not only Shalltear, but also Guardians like Demiurge and Sebastian, who need to stay outside for long periods of time and have the strength to protect World Items, also carry World Items with them.
This is to avoid such accidents from happening.
As a game that has been running for twelve years, YGGDRASIL's shutdown was not a sudden demise, but rather, like other online games, it went through several server merges before finally choosing to shut down.
This gives some players ample time to say goodbye to the game.
Some romantics will regard it as a beautiful memory of their past, cherishing everything they worked hard to acquire in the game until it all disappears in the end.
However, there are also some people who are realists.
They treat it merely as a game to pass the time, and thus, they will take advantage of the last period of time when there is still profit to squeeze every last drop of value out of their accounts to monetize them.
This has led to the circulation of many items that originally had considerable collectible value and were therefore scarce, such as world items.
After all, it was originally valuable because it was rare or precious in the game, but now that the game is gone, it is naturally no longer important.
If it could be used to gain real-world benefits, that would be ideal.
As the only person who knew he would be transported to another world with game items, Xia Yan had been investing heavily in the game since its launch and naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity.
After all, for him, money in reality is just a number.
Of course, even so, he didn't actually buy many world items.
Although there are two hundred items in the world, just like Athena's Cloths, which have eighty-eight pieces, only forty-odd pieces actually appear in the end.
Because of the stringent conditions for obtaining World Items, and the fact that some people don't boast about getting them or even hoard them without using them, the total number of World Items that have been known to have been obtained is no more than fifty.
In addition, some players who possessed world items may have deleted their accounts, causing the world items to be automatically reclaimed by the system.
Some world items are held by the top-ranked guilds, and those top-ranked guilds are certainly not short of money and don't care about such petty gains.
In the end, I only managed to get my hands on no more than ten.
To be precise, there are nine, plus the eleven that the guild itself owns, and the ones that Xia Yan and Suzuki Satoru carry themselves, for a total of twenty-two.
Given the relative abundance of world items, it is essential to equip each guardian who needs to go out on missions with a world item to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
Of course, this is not a gift, but only for temporary use. They will have to hand it over after they return to the Great Tomb.
Back to the topic.
Judging from the old woman's leisurely pace, it would be quite easy for Shalltear to dodge the effect of that item, given her speed.
But she didn't dodge.
Although she didn't know the effect of the World Item, Shalltear chose to tough it out of her arrogance.
Ultimately, this is all due to her own personality; it can be said to be her own fault.
However, Shalltear is not the kind of person who would forgive others once she knows she has made a mistake.
On the contrary, she is an evil monster who would choose to take her anger out on the innocent and kill all those who witnessed her mistakes in order to atone for her errors!
However, in her path of charge, the gunman she called sissy stood in her way with a serious expression.
"Mission changed! Everyone, regardless of the cost, even if only one person remains, must bring [Peerless Beauty] back."
As the squad leader, the First Seat instantly made what he believed to be the most correct judgment.
Faced with the most precious world artifacts left behind by the six gods, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, neither the mission nor the team members mattered at this moment.
Moreover, someone must bring the intelligence from the scene back.
"Stay out of the way!"
Driven by a combination of eagerness to make a name for herself and a desire for revenge, Shalltear used all her strength without any mercy.
Although not a pure warrior class, the power of this attack should not be underestimated, considering the racial bonuses of the True Ancestor.
If it lands on a human body, it can turn the person into a firework. Even if the target is a rock wall, it can definitely destroy it and cause a large-scale collapse.
However, this terrifying attack failed to kill the First Seat of the Dark Scripture.
Bang——! ! !
A violent collision sounded.
The claws, as menacing and terrifying as withered branches, collided with the dilapidated spear that looked quite different from the ornate armor, sparking fierce flames.
The next moment, the First Seat was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a dump truck, his hands still holding guns.
But that's all.
The first seat didn't seem to have suffered any real damage, and it wasn't afraid of such an exaggerated effect, maintaining its fighting spirit.
More importantly, this gave the other members time to react.
The old woman, who was wearing the world item "Alluring Beauty," immediately took off her cheongsam without any hesitation, revealing her withered body covered only by her underwear.
She then handed the cheongsam to a man dressed in a red bodysuit with reinforcing metal plates, his green hair the only thing showing.
The twelfth seat of the Dark Codex, codename: Heaven and Earth.
Although the name sounds quite imposing, it is actually not a profession that involves direct confrontation, but rather an assassin profession that focuses on killing.
Perhaps he wasn't the fastest runner in the Dark Codex, but without a doubt, he was the most suitable person to leave the battlefield and send back [Alluring Beauty] and the intelligence.
The next moment, the figure of Tian Shang Tian Xia, who received the [Alluring Beauty], gradually faded and became transparent.
Meanwhile, the other members of the Dark Scripture also adopted a defensive posture, seemingly intending to stall for time.
The paladin wielding the greatsword abandoned the two vampire brides he was about to kill and returned to the group. The burly man fighting Brian also exerted his strength, repelled the opponent, and then regrouped with his teammates.
However, although their reactions were quite quick and their teamwork was excellent, how could they possibly compare to Shalltear?
"Drink—"
Shalltear's right hand was clenched into a fist. Despite being an evil, undead monster and a filthy vampire progenitor, an extremely clear and sacred energy emanated from her palm.
A vast amount of holy power gathered in her hand, transforming into a spear over three meters long with an extravagant design and an especially enormous spearhead, resembling a weapon created by a god.
Its silvery glow was dazzling at night, and just by looking at its appearance, you could tell it was anything but ordinary.
Clean throwing gun.
This is a special skill possessed by Shalltear's class, which can only be used three times a day. Even though she is of the Dark attribute, she can still inflict great damage on her opponent.
The targets of the attack, the twelve seats of the Dark Holy Scripture codenamed Heaven and Earth, were undoubtedly annihilated instantly.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Shalltear used this skill not because of its powerful destructive force, but because this special skill could grant an additional ability of absolute accuracy when extra MP was spent.
Shalltear, determined to bring this World Item back as her achievement, was more serious than ever before, not intending to leave herself any chance whatsoever.
Without any effort in throwing, the spear floated up on its own under the infusion of magic, hurtling toward its target with lightning speed. The attack, as swift as a flash of light, was bound to miss.
puff--
A sound pierced through the object, but it was two sounds that overlapped almost simultaneously.
A muscular, red-haired man, holding a massive tower shield in his left hand and an iron shield in his right, stood without hesitation in the path of the Qingjing Throwing Gun.
The two shields were stacked together in an attempt to intercept Shalltear's attack.
As it turns out, it's best not to be blindly confident.
Those two seemingly sturdy shields were as fragile as two sheets of paper in the face of the Cleanse Throwing Gun.
"Pfft—"
Blood gushed out along with a low, painful groan.
The burly man first showed a shocked expression, and then he and his target were both pierced by the Qingjing Throwing Gun, and he was defeated amidst laughter and cheers.
The rest of the team members looked on incredulously, as if they had never seen anything like it before.
But Shalltear naturally wouldn't stop because of this. In her mind, this was an inevitable result, and there was nothing to be shocked about. She would only find it unbelievable if it were blocked.
"The entire race of the group is bound."
Taking advantage of the chaos within the group, Shalltear cast a spell towards the center of the crowd to capture them.
