Chapter 2507: Chapter 1102: Ultimate Excavation
This is only the beginning.
With the vibration of the fine gold chain, the meteor hammer grazed past the skeleton slayer, then swung back heavily onto his back.
At the same time, Gaven suddenly moved, maneuvering to the side of the skeleton slayer, seemingly ready to bind him.
The skeleton slayer’s body shrank to half its size, causing Gaven’s prepared moves to fall short, allowing him to slip out through the gaps, and in a series of leaps, he quickly jumped out of the revenge meteor hammer’s attack range.
Seeing is one thing, experiencing it personally is another.
The skeleton slayer couldn’t predict where the attack would come from; the simplest method was to not give him an opportunity to attack, adjust, and then return to battle.
After gaining some psychological preparedness, the skeleton slayer displayed resilience, waving the nether slaughter chain mace energetically, perpetually shifting between reality and illusion, exploiting surprise to the fullest.
He wasn’t acting as a living target for Gaven out of goodwill, but instead wanted to test the divine artifact he had just acquired.
The nether attributes of the nether slaughter chain mace were maximized, simultaneously activating abilities exclusive to the skeleton slayer — real and illusion conversion, slaying technique, and slaughter imprisonment.
Real and Illusion Conversion (Special Ability) — This weapon can switch between nether state and corporeality, possessing the ability to directly attack spiritual bodies and souls when in nether state.
Slaying Technique (Special Ability) — If struck directly in the soul by the nether state, the hit target must undergo a will contest, otherwise the soul will be annihilated, akin to the effects of the slaying technique. This ability can be used only once per round; if the recipient successfully suppresses the contest, immunity is granted for twenty-four hours. The success rate of this ability increases significantly for those heavily injured.
Slaughter Imprisonment (Special Ability) — Souls slaughtered by this weapon will be trapped within it, becoming part of its strength. The more souls imprisoned, the more powerful the weapon becomes.
There is some reference value in how Gaven uses the revenge meteor hammer.
Although he is also using this kind of variant weapon for the first time, he performs much better than the Burning Flames Queen, at least without hitting himself.
This is not only because he himself is a warrior, but also because this weapon lacks the complexity of the revenge meteor hammer.
The chain mace is a brute force weapon, spending most of its time in raw smashing.
The revenge meteor hammer turns into a skillful weapon, where technique plays a crucial role.
This point is displayed vividly in the hands of both the Burning Flames Queen and Gaven, completely differentiating the two weapons.
In comparison, the plundering hammer of the skeleton plunderer is used in the simplest, most crude way.
Spiky Ball Explosion (Special Ability) — When the spiky ball hits the target, it inflicts 20D8 explosion damage on directly hit enemies, while also exploding, launching indiscriminate attacks on enemies within a twenty-meter radius, causing 3D12 ice damage and 3D12 bludgeoning damage.
Plunder Return (Special Ability) — After the spiky ball explodes, it will take several rounds to return to the body of the skeleton plunderer for reassembly, spending the same time as condensing new skeleton dragon’s breath.
Plunder Imprisonment (Special Ability) — Souls slaughtered by this weapon will be plundered and trapped within it, becoming part of its strength. The more souls imprisoned, the more powerful the weapon becomes.
Just as Gaven suspected, the use of that divine artifact is merged with the skeleton plunderer’s dragon breath, requiring no practice.
At least for the skeleton slayer, it’s as simple and crude as spitting, far easier than the dragon’s breath.
It can be used in conjunction with the skeleton dragon’s breath or independently, exhibiting great flexibility.
Additionally, these three sub-divine artifacts hide a trait — components of the Wrath of Yenogu. Assembling them will form the divine artifact Wrath of Yenogu.
Put another way, holders of these three sub-divine artifacts become targets for all jackalweres, to seize their weapons and restore their God of the Race’s glory.
In the eyes of the jackalweres, they are unequivocal antagonists, future conquests.
Without using other abilities, the skeleton slayer was battered by Gaven’s meteor hammer, unclear how many times he was struck, his skeleton armor unable to keep up with the revenge meteor hammer’s destruction speed, tattered with spider web fractures everywhere.
Gaven’s control over the revenge meteor hammer hasn’t reached mastery; once in motion, it’s impossible to hold back, with inertia playing a significant role in this weapon.
Ultimately, the revenge meteor hammer’s chain wrapped around the nether slayer chain mace’s handle, and with a twist and pull, Gaven disarmed him.
The skeleton slayer seized the opportunity to exclaim: "Master is indeed a versatile genius, mastering everything, even able to effortlessly wield such variant weapons."
Gaven followed the inertia to wrap the revenge meteor hammer around his waist, responding with a smile: "I’m not as impressive as you say, most of my proficiency in using this variant weapon owes to these arms."
The steel-grey color on his arms faded, transforming into a pair of new arms, levitating at his shoulder position, turning him into four-armed.
