Chapter 169 True Damage part 2
Intoxicated by this thrill, Olba immediately turned the holy sword\'s edge towards those Druids, Treants, and even the massive giants that looked even more powerful. He did not cower and dared to battle them.
At this scene, the many demon apostles who had been observing the Seventh Prince from the rear now had their expressions turn a little serious.
"Eris hates that sword," the Decay Demon mumbled, hugging the doll in her arms tightly.
The Great Demon Hektor and Sword Demon Pierre, the two demon commanders who had also arrived here, now had equally serious expressions.
"I didn\'t expect the Hero\'s relics to still preserve such power even after a thousand years."
"The power of the holy swords has always been a mystery. I suggest we continue observing and collecting data. And to be safe, I think we can keep deploying monsters until the human\'s stamina is exhausted before making a move."
Dian was more cautious. It could be seen that even he was filled with wariness towards that Oath Sword , adopting the most conservative strategy of avoiding its edge. Let the Seventh Prince kill - anyway, there were plenty of monsters. Wait until the wielder had no strength left, and no matter how formidable the holy sword was, it would be useless.
But in that case, the casualties would probably be a massive number. The holy sword was clearly able to replenish the wielder\'s stamina while killing enemies…
The demon apostles were also unclear about the specific operating principles of the holy sword.
So to prevent this from being a bottomless pit, Hektor, as the strongest combat power, immediately requested of Reji.
"Your Majesty, leave that human to me."
At this time, another projection, precisely the Wisdom Demon Leo, also spoke up.
The Wisdom Demon\'s main body was lurking below as a backup. His projection came over here to discuss tactics. Leo had obviously long anticipated the current situation. He still said very calmly:
"Eris, Pierre, Hektor, when the time comes, after I detonate the plague toxins inside the Seventh Prince\'s body, you three make a move together to attract attention from the front. Shermen and I will find an opportunity to complete the assassination from behind."
Leo\'s previous lurking by the Seventh Prince\'s side was not for nothing. He had even arranged things like poison, and even mobilized the Shadow Demon.
Reji looked at the apostles seeming a bit like facing a great enemy, with sneak attacks, group assaults, poisons, backstabs and all. He felt a bit emotional inside.
It seemed my first playthrough self had indeed left a very deep shadow on the demon race.
They had a bit of PTSD from just one holy sword.
He still had to personally raise a hand and have all the apostles sit properly. There was no need to go to such trouble.
"I will go."
With just three short words, Reji flashed away. The next moment, he appeared right in front of the Seventh Prince.
As long as it was within the territory\'s range, he had the ability to teleport instantly.
Reji\'s appearance made Olba, currently in his prime wielding the holy sword and having just swept through the goblins, pause in surprise.
"Who… "
Very quickly, the Seventh Prince\'s confusion was resolved.
It was not that Reji opened his mouth to answer.
That would be too embarrassing.
As the surrounding owlbears immediately prostrated their bear bodies upon Reji\'s appearance, those half-deer forest spirits also bent their hooves all at once, kneeling towards Reji\'s direction.
If these were not intuitive enough, then with a "boom" and a loud crash, the massive mountain giants also knelt on one knee, deeply lowering their big heads towards Reji.
If Olba still did not understand Reji\'s identity at this scene, then he could go get his brain checked.
Was there even a need to ask?
The boss of this dungeon!
Hah!?
I thought it would be some more demonic monster.
Turned out that the boss is pretty average.
Heavily influenced by the Oath Sword, what Olba had in mind now was just to kill monsters. And the exhilaration from the earlier goblin slaughter also made him brimming with confidence and incredibly inflated.
So what if he was the monster king!?
It was still a monster.
As long as it was a monster, no matter how strong, it was just a matter of one sword strike before this sword in my hand and he will be dead.
The rich power of radiance surfaced again. The familiar starting pose was precisely that Oath Sword \'s most simple and unadorned mighty ability.
Holy Smite!
Slash!
Olba took the initiative to attack. Carrying the radiant momentum of a paladin, the dazzling brilliance of Holy Smite had already killed its way to Reji\'s front in an instant.
Why did the goblins from before not feel the oppressive might of the holy sword?
Because "Holy Smite" was actually a very special attack.
It would have an attack pre-judgment.
If the judgment succeeded, then it would indeed be like those goblins from before, suffering devastating fatal damage.
But if the judgment failed...
It was when the Seventh Prince slashed at Reji that a prompt also sounded in Reji\'s mind at the same time.
[You suffered Holy Smite from Olba]
[Attack hit judgment in progress]
[Concluded… you are immune to Holy Smite, reason: Holy Smite cannot be released on humans]
[Oath breaking judgment in progress]
[Concluded… Olba suffered "oath breaking" backlash, reason: Trespassing private residence, slaughtering servants, launching an attack on the residence owner]
[Backlash damage judgment in progress...….]
[Concluded, Olba suffered 10,928,632 points of true damage, reason: Your noble morality grants bonus to oath breaking backlash]
What was the concept of 10,928,632 points of true damage?
The concept was, Olba\'s body directly exploded into a mist of blood in midair. Not even flesh and blood, but directly turned into a blood mist. It was as if every part of his body was instantly annihilated.
Clang~.
All that was left was the Oath Sword, which immediately dimmed as it lost its wielder, falling from midair and eventually inserting into the ground at an angle.
The entire process happened very quickly.
It could be said that it was just a matter of a few short seconds.
The apostles who were originally watching with utmost anxiety in the projection, about to rush over to support the Demon King, including Leo, all had dumbfounded expressions.
Those expressions seemed to say:
Huh?
What happened?
How did that human just die?
How did the holy sword suddenly extinguish?
What exactly did the Demon King do?
What in the world happened???
