章 42: Chapter 42_ God Hand (3)
At this time, all of Greed's strength was concentrated on his upper body so Lexus kicked his ankle.
"Eh?"
Greed stumbled. Lexus' foot aimed at his face while he was leaning sideways.
"Kuk!"
Greed raised his knee to defend against the kick. This time, his strength was concentrated on his lower body. When Lexus' sword moved, fire flashed in the air and a path of fire was made on the ground. The whole area was suddenly covered in fire.
Chukak.
Lexus rotated his sword again and struck Failure. Golden blades flew to protect Greed, but Lexus' ability was very delicate. He was already aware of the presence of the golden blades made of pavranium and responded calmly, accurately avoiding the wall formed by the blades to hit Greed.
'So fast.'
Greed was surprised at the transcendent pace as he watched Lexus swung his elongated sword. Blood spurted from Greed's chest which made him became serious. The flames of Lexus caused continuous damage.
'It's fixed damage, and fire resistance is useless. I've never thought that his highness could produce this much heat.'
Greed couldn't approach. The fire caused atleast 10,000 damage per second, so it was a huge burden for him who had a health of around 70,000. Greed had a high amount of health but he couldn't see an opportunity. He couldn't easily move. Did he have to be a punching bag like this?
'I don't like it.' He was already tired of the one-sided punching bag days of his past. Now he had to experience it again? 'No more…'
His pride was dented for being one sidedly beated up so he triggered Pagma's Swordsmanship, Link. 20 blue-white blades were generated and covered Lexus at a fearsome speed.
"Pagma's Sword Dance, Link!"
[You have dealt 14,220 damage to the target.]
At the very least, that should have been the system message in Greed's view. However.
Chaeeeeeng!
Lexus defended against all 20 strikes by moving his sword with minimal movements. This was possible because his agility was way higher than Greed's. In the meantime, Greed had only been investing his points in strength and stamina. But now he gained enlightenment.
'Speed is really important in swordsmanship. I need to invest in agility in the future.'
"Is this your best technique?"
With a smile, Lexus looked at him with derision.
"No way!"
Greed used a combo skill that he developed over his many combat experiences. Theoretically, it was a combo guaranteed to win.
"Pagma's Sword Dance, Restraint!"
His expression was determined as he danced. It was a rare, highly skilled sword dance with a shining blue shark-shaped greatsword. Then, Lexus felt an intense pressure coming from Greed.
Knowing about the skill very well, Lexus simply smiled at the notification window in front of him.
[You have been overwhelmed by the enemy's spirit. Your actions are constrained for three seconds.]
[You have resisted.]
Greed first restrained Lexus' actions. Rather than linking with Kill which might kill Lexus, he will struck three times. Then once Restraint was almost over, he will use Wave to slow down Lexus' movements and follow by Transcend again.
However.
'What is this…!?'
Lexus neither stiffened nor any of his movements were affected or restrained. Despite being surprised, he immediately unfolded his sword dance. The moment that Greed took the first step of his sword dance. A white blade emerged that replaced the red sword in Lexus' hand pierced Greed's chest.
[You have suffered 5,000 damage.]
'Eh?'
Lexus attacked with timing that couldn't be coped with, because Greed was busy with his sword dance. The damage was considerable.
'I suffered that much damage despite my legendary armor set and Pavranium?'
The two golden discs spun around Greed as the two golden discs have suddenly appeared and were defending against Lexus' attacks but it wasn't able to completely stop his momentum at all.
Currently, aside from equipping Failure— the strongest legendary weapon at this stage, he was currently equipped with Holy Light Armor. The legendary armor created by Pagma and it is made of the god material adamantium, which is known for its good properties.
"I'm aware that Pagma's Sword Dance is great. However your movements are linear. It's so easy to read."
Greed frowned as the first encounter he had with a ranker named Hurent entered his mind. The way Lexus neutralized his attack by interrupting his sword dance was so familiar.
"To be more efficient, I suggest you should utilize the steps of the sword dance in an evasive action."
Hearing him, Greed realized that he's attempting to teach him right now. Pagma's Sword Dance had a weakness. In order to activate the skill, the name must be said. This took a minimum of 0.8 to 2 seconds before the skill was activated.
Greed nodded and listened to him. He rushed to him and swings his sword instead of using skills. Seeing that he immediately accepted his words and applied it, Lexus was surprised.
The Greed he knew at this stage should be stubborn and wouldn't instantly listen to anyone but would still stick to his faith in the legendary skills and items he had. What he was currently unaware was that Greed treated him with so high regards knowing how skillful he is so unconsciously listened to his advice.
[You have dealt 1,800 damage to the target.]
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 2,500 damage to the target.]
Of course, he summoned a helper with him. A long tail suddenly protruded from empty space! There was an enormous gaping mouth that Lexus' body was swallowed by that huge mouth.
[You have lost a part of your soul to the memphis.]
[You are more likely to be affected by status conditions.]
[There will be a 50% decline in your main stats for 3 seconds.]
[You have resisted.]
Lexus smiled as he saw the image of a cat. It was a typical Persian cat. However, it was black, had a small horn on its forehead and small devil wings on its back. The cat licked its paws and winked. In particular, the color of its fur was attractive. It was black all over, except for its four paws which were white as snow.
"Fight master~~nyang!"
The cat was the first demonic beast of hell, memphis. It was the worst pet that stole some of the stats from the souls he ate and temporarily gave them to his master.
[Memphis]
The most powerful species among the thousands of demonic beasts inhabiting hell.
As an adult, their fighting abilities are superior to the higher-ranked demonkin, so they are the favorite of the 33 great demons.
But they are a species in danger of extinction, due to their lack of breeding ability.
Their natural habitat is hell.
Numerous notification windows popped up in front of Greed.
—–—–—–
[Soul Ingestion Lv. 1]
Has the ability to take away half of the target's highest stats and transfer it to your master.
Skill Cooldown Time: Your own decision.]
—–—–—–
[Your memphis Noe's movement speed has increased.]
[Your memphis Noe's health has increased.]
[Your memphis Noe's defense has increased.]
[Your memphis Noe's attack power has increased.]
With half of the temporarily stolen stats being transfer to Greed, his basic damage greatly increased.
[You have suffered 3,125 damage.]
[You have been dealt by a lethal blow.]
[You have suffered 4,000 damage.]
Though Lexus resisted his stats being reduced by the Memphis, the demonic beast still managed to make Greed's stats increase by stealing 50% of Lexus' basic stats that is superior to what level 200 should have. Not to mention that Lexus has recently boosted his strength because of the Dragon Heart's effect.
Seeing the damage, Greed's eyes widened. It was also because he saw the absurd amount of stats that was increased to him. With this, he became aware of Lexus' monstrous stats that surpassed his and what he saw was just at 50%.
As Greed went on evasive, he became even more surprised. He could see in Lexus' eyes that he is analyzing his attacks and looking for weaknesses and gaps. His indifferent expression neither had pride nor he looks uninterested, but by raw calculations.
He was not looking down on Greed in the slightest. Of course it was not just Greed who were surprised but all the spectators as well. Even now, while Lexus observes his movements, he is making his predictions.
To Greed's superior speed because of the stats given by the Memphis, Lexus is offering the perfect response. It felt like Greed was fighting an AI created by supreme technology with perfection instead of a person. The fundamentally and overwhelming difference between them.
Though Greed's sword had almost reached the sense of speed of sound, Lexus was yet to be fatally wounded at all. He is able to perfectly read Greed's attacks. In order to do that, you have to be a genius and very proficient in real combat or someone who was rich in combat experience. The people only had the same thing in their minds.
'This should only be possible for a legend!'
He kept analyzing Greed's abilities while fighting, yet sure of his victory. The situation for Greed was simply that hopeless. For him who still had a low level in terms of control, he's the worst opponent for him.
Letting him and the Memphis struggle for a bit, Lexus used his unique skill Plunderer on Greed once again, system messages appeared.
[The level of Legendary Blacksmith's Craftsmanship Skill has risen.]
[All stats related to your skill increase.]

After the use of Plunderer, his gaze was fixed at the memphis. As it is the best demonic beast of hell, Lexus was obviously aware that it can be very troublesome to deal with. However Lexus was not very worried. If it were any other person, they might suffer from the Memphis but not him. He knew how to neutralize the demonic beast and fortunately he had the only way to do it.
Just then, his eyes changed to resemble a Dragon's. Only then Greed did realised that something had gone terribly awry. A loud and vicious mana-infused aura exploded out. It was the power of the absolute beings that pushed every single being near him, every single being weaker than him, into a state of pure despair!
A memphis was cleverer and stronger than many demonkin, making it beloved by the great demons. Indeed, there were no shortage of demonic beasts in hell. They had high pride and it was rare for them to be intimidated.
But the story was different when it came to dragons. Dragons were the strongest creature in all of hell and on the earth. They were the only things a memphis was afraid of.
"D-Dragons are scary! Nyang!"
Sensing the dragon fear radiating from Lexus, the Memphis mistook him for a dragon in a polymorphed form, so he jumped into Greed's arms. Then Noe shook his head with closed eyes. "This evil master! Are you going to throw Noe towards dragon as food? Nyang! You will go to hell when you die! Nyang!"
