Chapter 1036: Chapter 612: The Hammer Strike Settles the Outcome

The Lizard Queen was acutely aware of her weaknesses. With so many enemies, especially the astonishingly fast Six-armed Snake Demon, there was no way she could defend herself.

Instead of being thrown into a hectic and error-prone state, she decided to allow them to strike her, relying on her strong physical defense and life force to withstand the attacks, concentrating mainly on the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, which posed the greatest threat to her. His huge hammer was her biggest concern.

Although she wasn’t skilled in magic, she understood an important principle long ago: everything came at a price, especially magic.

The more powerful it was, the more troublesome casting it became, and the more restrictions there were.

The magic that had trapped her was certain to have a duration. As long as she could endure until it ended and then leap into the Wild Border River, if the enemies dared to chase her into the marsh, she would show them what true horror and despair meant.

The marsh was her domain, her world.

Leaving the marsh to wage war against humans was the most foolish decision of her life.

No, that wasn’t right!

Making a Spirit Soul Naga her court minister and heeding his advice was the greatest mistake she had ever made. He couldn’t wait for her to meet this fate, to free himself. He had not been quiet in advising her for this campaign.

Yes, it had to be this way. Her current plight was all because of Alhashan’s folly.

At this moment, the Lizard Queen placed all blame and fault on the Spirit Soul Naga, completely forgetting her own greedy expression when she’d heard the Conqueror Army would be passing by Tun Marsh.

Even without the Spirit Soul Naga’s influence, she would have made the same choice, as it was dictated by the inherent greed of a Giant Dragon. But nobody would blame themselves, and the Lizard Queen was no exception.

"Ah ah ah ah..." The Lizard Queen suddenly burst out with an uncontrollable, chilling scream, her body trembling uncontrollably. Previously crouching to easily shift direction and brace against heavy strikes from the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, she now sat completely on the ground.

This pain didn’t come from an external attack, but from within.

A strange force, like a boning knife, went deep into her body, crazily cutting and twisting along the junctions of flesh and bone, making her feel as if her flesh and bones were completely splitting apart.

This powerful force strikingly came from the Six-armed Serpent Demon, whom she had previously underestimated.

It was the Withering Power.

Originally, Gaven, in alliance with the Six-armed Serpent Demon, had taken this power from Dimogorgen, the Lord of the Bottomless Abyss.

This power was only effective against flesh and blood. Gaven and the others’ previous opponents were either Undead or couldn’t withstand the Six-armed Serpent Demon’s fast and furious attacks, so this ability hadn’t had a chance to take effect. Unexpectedly, it had now found a breakthrough in the Lizard Queen, who was fortifying herself like a turtle.

The Withering Power worked by breaking down the internals, eroding the connections between bones and flesh, causing separation between them. If displayed as attributes, it directly damaged the person’s Constitution, with each attack dealing only 1-6 points of damage.

The problem was that the Lizard Queen only had a total of 36 points of Constitution. Even if each hit inflicted the minimum damage, she could only withstand thirty-six rounds.

Furthermore, that wasn’t the right way to calculate it.

This unique erosive damage increased in severity the more it accumulated. The Withering Power grew not only because more of it built up in the body, but also because the body weakened over time. Towards the end, the hits would begin dealing five or six points of damage. When her Constitution fell to a certain level, she needn’t be struck at all—her own massive weight could crush her to death.

Moreover, Gaven wouldn’t miss the Lizard Queen’s blatant vulnerability.

The Five-Willow Overstate Full Form dropped the Shadow Dragon Shield and wielded the hammer with both hands. The Fine Gold Hammer visibly swelled in size, reaching its maximum state. Enormous amounts of Shadow Power wrapped around the arms of the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, forming a gigantic shadow exoskeleton that was more than twice as thick. The one with a Legendary Strength Bonus wasn’t just the Lizard Queen—Five-Willow Overstate Full Form had it too.

Shadow Power (Special Ability) — Legendary Strength Bonus, you can draw on a vast amount of Shadow Power to enhance your own strength, granting you an additional 10 points of external strength, usable three times a day.

That may seem like just a ten-point strength boost, but it depends on the body type it was placed upon. If it was a medium-sized human, a ten-point strength increase would quadruple his strength. For example, someone with 19 points of strength could go from being able to carry 150 kg to 600 kg (at 29 points of strength).

The Five-Willow Overstate Full Form was strength-focused—an outcome of Gaven’s Special Ability to enhanced attributes determining the state. The stronger the enhanced attribute, the more that attribute type was prioritized. With up to six points in agile and flexible attributes, he used the dexterity-focused form when fighting the Corpse Spider Elves.

The attributes for the dexterity-focused form were: Strength 37, Dexterity 20, Constitution 37, Intelligence 31, Perception 22, Charisma 24.

The attributes for the strength-focused form were: Strength 43, Dexterity 14, Constitution 37, Intelligence 31, Perception 22, Charisma 24.

The Lizard Queen was entirely on the receiving end of the beating. Since Five-Willow Overstate Full Form didn’t need speed, strength was naturally enhanced first.
