Chapter 1032: Chapter 610: The Meat Shield is Too Sturdy and Troublesome_3

The Lizard Queen was well aware of her own weaknesses. Facing such an attack, she demonstrated her unique way of coping: the fat around her right hind leg swirled madly, setting up multiple layers of defense in an instant. That leg’s girth quickly surpassed the other three, becoming at least twice as thick.

Simultaneously, her massive body squatted down, and her right hind leg disappeared from view, submerged under layers of bulging fat.

Thump!

As the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form swung down, Gaven felt a feedback surprisingly similar to the previous blow—it was like hitting a soft pile of cotton, with most of the force dissipating. By the time he felt the solid resistance of the Lizard Queen’s skeleton, less than ten percent of the force remained.

Under such circumstances, naturally, he didn’t even dream of breaking the Lizard Queen’s right hind leg.

This was the effect of her Legendary Constitution’s special ability to manipulate flesh. The thirty points of damage reduction described earlier applied to the Lizard Queen as a whole, but she could stack layers of fat like she had just done, creating second and even third layers of damage reduction. His recent strike’s damage was thus decreased by hundreds of points, leaving its lethal power significantly limited.

Unexpectedly, the Lizard Queen had blazed her own trail using her body fat, effectively turning herself into a shield different from the rest.

Taking down the Lizard Queen by himself in a short period of time was not an easy task, but Gaven hadn’t planned on facing the Lizard Queen alone from the start. Letting her face their group solo was the right choice.

The figures of the Six-armed Snake Demon, Razorback Claw, and Daphne appeared one after another. As for the True Shadow Brigade, Gaven did not summon them.

Their attack power was simply insufficient to break through the Lizard Queen’s fearsome damage reduction abilities. Furthermore, any casual action from the queen could deal lethal damage to them. They were in the interlayer between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane, where their shadows’ fifty percent physical damage reduction from shifting between the two planes was useless.

Although the True Wraiths wouldn’t be annihilated after death and would soon be reborn in Weizemay Manor, such actions would impact the essence of their souls. The most direct consequence would be the loss of Life Dice, with the minimum loss being one. If the attack that killed them was particularly vicious or special, they could even lose several.

For Weizemay Manor, the weakening of the True Shadow Brigade meant the consumption of the entire Shadow Power.

"Alhashan, get out here now!" the Lizard Queen roared. A gemstone embedded in her forehead, enveloped by fat, shone with a dazzling magical light.

A Spirit Soul Naga, with a human face and snake body, emerged from it. Without looking around, it immediately leapt like a snake, swiftly scurrying beneath the Lizard Queen, displaying its extensive battle experience.

"Use a teleportation spell, quick, use a teleportation spell to get me out of this damned place," the Lizard Queen urged anxiously.

Gaven was shocked by the Lizard Queen’s terrifying physical defense capabilities.

She, on the other hand, was astonished by this peculiar treant’s terrifying attack power. The Five-Willow Overstate Full Form’s recent strikes hadn’t achieved the overwhelming effect Gaven had expected, but it didn’t mean they were completely without killing power.

Where the Fine Gold Hammer had struck, layers of fat were smashed on the spot, with white internal tissues spilling out.

The dull fine gold anchor on the hammer’s face became exceptionally sharp under the terrifying force, easily tearing through her layers of fat and the dragon scales wrapped within. The barbs on it would create horrifying rend wounds when withdrawn.

Such damage was not fatal to her, but it was indeed painful.

Especially the blow to her neck just now, since she had not been prepared in advance, she had to resist with her natural layer of fat, which was relatively weak. The blow had injured her esophagus; not to mention using dragon breath again, even speaking caused her a barely tolerable pain.

What was most important was that this place belonged to the opponent’s home ground; no one knew if there were other special abilities at play. If possible, she didn’t want to stay here a minute longer.

But her abilities mainly lay in her physical strength; magic had never been her forte. Fortunately, she had a legendary spellcaster, the spirit soul naga, who although tended towards the magician’s arts, had very limited choice in spells but was enough to compensate for her shortcomings.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, this area is shrouded by special laws, prohibiting teleportation," the spirit soul naga said in a tone that betrayed no emotion.

Since the nagas possessed the ability of fearless rebirth, death held no special significance for them, so even in the face of such a peculiar battlefield, they remained extremely calm.

"Prohibited from teleporting? Then how did you get in?" The Lizard Queen expressed her disbelief and confusion.

The spirit soul naga couldn’t help but sigh, "Your Majesty, you carry my soul stone with you, and that is the true essence of my soul. It has already followed you into this sealed space. As soon as you give the command, my body will be reshaped. This is not a form of teleportation force."

His soul stone had been in the clutches of this corpulent dragon for over a century, and yet she had not grasped the nature of his existence.

The nature of naga existence is very similar to that of liches. The latter have life caskets, while nagas have soul stones. Their ability for fearless rebirth relies on these objects. Once a life casket or a soul stone is destroyed, it marks the true death of these beings.

Yet there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Liches are undead; their life caskets are crafted.

Nagas, on the other hand, belong to the monster class; their soul stones are born from them, just like large snake eggs, and then a new naga’s body is condensed around this soul stone. They do not have an infancy or a childhood; soon after birth, the soul stone will induce the creation of an adult naga.

That means under normal circumstances, the soul stone is within their bodies, integrated as one with them. Upon death, it automatically appears in a designated location for a new cycle of rebirth.

This spirit soul naga clearly was not under normal circumstances. His soul stone had been forcibly extracted by magic from his body and turned into a special magic item, obliging him to obey only the holder of the soul stone.

This magic item was certainly not crafted by the Lizard Queen; she did not possess that ability. She was simply the current holder of the magic item.
