Chapter 470: Chapter 439: The Most Shameless Opponent_2

Amberser wasn’t just relying on magic for sustenance; with the Dice of Destiny and the Mithril Mech alone, he could crush Aeolus in close combat.

"You can’t use those two blades!" Aeolus continued, "There’s something wrong with those blades!"

His own magic armor couldn’t defend against those blades at all; they seemed to carry a powerful magic-breaking effect.

Amberser chuckled, sheathed the Magic-Breaking Blades, and then pulled out a huge magic wand.

Entirely made of metal, it looked more like a staff with a hammer-head than a wand, and not only that, Amberser had also drawn a strange short musket in his other hand, its effect yet unknown.

Aeolus fell silent; the Lich really did have a plethora of miscellaneous tactics.

After some thought, Aeolus said, "Do you dare to fight me with your original skeleton?!"

Amberser stopped talking; this idiot hadn’t learned his lesson but had learned to be thick-skinned instead.

Amberser simply charged towards Aeolus, riding Naomi. His plan was to first suppress Aeolus, then find a way to shove the dying man into his private space.

What did infinite rebirth matter if Time Freeze could immobilize him?

That was the only method Amberser could think of to deal with Aeolus.

Although it was risky, the feasibility was still quite high. This kid, relying on his infinite rebirth, fought with his life on the line, so he was full of openings.

But just as Amberser launched his charge, Aeolus, as if he had suddenly received some message, changed his expression and began retreating rapidly on the sea water.

And it wasn’t just an ordinary retreat; Aeolus gave Amberser a hateful look and then fled by controlling the water flow.

Amberser didn’t chase after him; although Naomi was fast, she couldn’t catch up to Aeolus.

Looking at the receding water flow, Amberser cursed inwardly, "Damn manic Goddess!"

Amberser guessed that the Koutao Mermaid Goddess must have tipped off Aeolus; otherwise, why had the kid suddenly turned tail?

Amberser was half right; indeed, someone was calling for Aeolus, but it wasn’t the Koutao Mermaid Goddess.

Though this Goddess was quite neurotic, Amberser’s private space wasn’t within Her sphere of the Divine Position, so She wasn’t aware of the effect of Amberser’s private space.

The one truly summoning Aeolus back was none other than his wife, the Lobster Girl Airel.

As Amberser’s battle had suddenly erupted, causing the Sharkwa Fishman to scatter, Aeolus saw an opportunity to loot, but not only did he not succeed in looting, he ended up with casualty losses instead.

By that time, another group looking to loot in the chaos had arrived.

Another wave of Sharkwa Fishman was attacking Koutoa territory, and the Lobster Girl had no choice but to blow the conch shell, calling Aeolus back.

Nothing was more important than his own wife, so Aeolus had no choice but to temporarily leave the battlefield to see what had happened.

With Aeolus’s departure, Amberser began a new round of battlefield cleanup.

The Koutoa were turned into zombies by Amberser just the same. After the battle, they lost hundreds of Sharkwa Fishman Zombies but gained several thousand Koutoa Fishman Zombies.

That’s how the Undead waged war—the soldiers grew more numerous with each battle.

By the time Amberser had cleaned up the battlefield again, Aige and his group had also triumphantly returned.

The strategy against the Yixi Manta Rays was a complete success. Thanks to Pearl Dew, the threat from Yixi manta ray toxins was greatly reduced, allowing the Silent Night Pirates to overpower their foes with their own strength, not to mention the help from Amberser’s Undead Legion.

The Yixi Manta Rays abandoned their unhatched eggs and tens of thousands of corpses as they fled, while Amberser’s side only lost some expendable infantry, making it a glorious victory.

With two territories now seized by Amberser, he couldn’t afford to feel happy just yet and hastily called for a strategic meeting with the members of Elegy Poetry Society.

The battle with Aeolus had been recorded by Amberser and, after being played, shocked everyone at Elegy Poetry Society.

An opponent truly impossible to kill, with exceptionally strong individual combat ability—how were they to fight this war?

[Dislikes Humans: How come you’re always attracting these kinds of freaks?]

Hake Stone decided to kick a man while he was down—such opportunities were rare and needed to be seized firmly.

[Diga Ultraman: This counts as a freak? You haven’t seen much. I’ve even tricked a Grand Duke of Hell. Two Goddesses were punished by Aeo because of me, didn’t you already know that?]

[Dislikes Humans: XXXXXXXXXXXX!]

Hake Stone’s fangs were almost crushed in frustration, accidentally getting played by the Lich once again,

[Crown of the Headless Knight: I’m actually very interested in matching up against him, but it’s not fun under the sea, I’m not good at swimming.]

[Mute: If I had known, I should have dealt with him from the start. Maybe I could directly absorb his body and soul, potentially disrupting his rebirth ability.]

Amberser replied rather helplessly, [It wouldn’t make much difference. Aeolus is blessed by a Deity, and we all know that this kind of power is rule-based and cannot be destroyed by the power of mortals. You aren’t yet a true Deity; the chances of disrupting the rebirth effect are very slim.]

Amberser had considered using Death’s Touch to directly destroy Aeolus’s soul, but the kid seemed more like a constant state; no matter how he died or which part died, all negative effects would be removed upon rebirth.
