The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

“Misfortune always suddenly descends upon me…”

I lowered my head and blinked as my eyes were aching from the powerful gusts my enemy’s sword was whipping up. This time, my opponent was indeed rather difficult to deal with.

The magic sword, Sostya. It was also known as the “Snaketail Whip”. This was the God Equipment that was currently showing its effects to me…

I kept hearing the screams and wails of the souls that had died to this God Equipment. This was a type of mental attack targeted against the soul. If you didn’t have any soul defense capabilities, or if you were distracted by the fierce physical battle, then you would soon become another soul fed to this sword.

As the battle progressed, the sword would keep hissing and distorting like a snake. These souls would constantly try and invade your mind. The moment that you showed a lapse and listened to their pasts would be the moment of your death.

And this was only the most insignificant effect of this God Equipment which had slaughtered so many souls. Perhaps it was precisely because far too many souls had died to this sword that so much hatred and grudges had accumulated upon it, becoming its own natural curse.

“Holy Light, please help these pitiful souls be restored to calmness.”

The Light of Salvation materialized above me, giving me a halo of light on my head.

The Holy Light above my head began to illuminate everything. It was saving the souls trapped within the sword. This was the Light of Salvation from Estrada, the Pillar God of Holy Light. The cursed sword’s captured souls kept screaming and scattering everywhere. Some souls successfully re-entered the Cycle of Reincarnation with the Light of Salvation’s help, while others were forced back into the God Equipment sword.

Lasnina noticed that her sword’s ability was being countered, so she immediately changed her fighting style. She shook her magic sword several times, lengthening it greatly.

I then saw nothing but blood-red sword blades before me. Countless chains and blades were everywhere as dark chains sealed the entire sky. Lasnina’s magic sword was actually capable of sealing off an entire area with its chains.

“Holy Light, cleanse this cursed magic sword!” I loudly shouted while viciously clashing my battle hammer against the magic sword.

After a few exchanges, Lasnina now had an ugly expression.

She could sense that her God Equipment magic sword was howling and asking for her to save it! Her magic sword was actually being permanently weakened with each exchange of blows against that hammer!

“…Is this really Holy Light?”

Lasnina finally stopped for a moment and spoke her first complete sentence ever since she arrived and attacked me. However, the only answer that greeted her was a powerful spear of Holy Light that suddenly descended from the clouds and exploded right in front of her.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Successive explosions displayed the tremendous attack power of the purest Holy Light!

This spear of Holy Light was one that I had “missed” with previously when chasing after Lasnina. Actually, I had intentionally tossed it in a boomerang fashion.

And since Lasnina had now stopped, I controlled that spear of Holy Light to explode right in front of Lasnina.

Violent explosions sent all the nearby clouds flying away, covering Lasnina within new mushroom clouds!

I was no idiot antagonist who would kindly explain his own abilities to his enemies. Since Lasnina was obviously distracted, I would naturally take this opportunity to attack her. An unmoving target would be much easier to hit than a moving target, after all.

So when Lasnina barely finished her “…Is this really Holy Light?” question, I responded afterwards with…

“Hmph, you want me to stop when you say stop? What would I do about my loss of face then?”

*Clang!*

Suddenly, a pain in my back reminded me that I wasn’t the only one who knew how to play dirty tricks! Lasnina actually ambushed me from behind!

A chain blade from her sword had struck from the clouds. That magic sword could actually be taken apart and attack automatically?

Had she intentionally spoken to attract my attention so that she could injure me with her sword part hidden in the clouds? How sly!

“Useless! It’s all useless!”

However, her attack was useless against me. I turned around, grabbed that part of the magic sword, and flashed three beams of Holy Light. All that remained afterwards was a piece of scrap metal without any power.

“Tsk, he’s just like an armored turtle. I picked the wrong opponent.”

Lasnina walked out of my mushroom cloud explosion without even a single injury. It seemed that our attacks so far had been nothing but appetizers.

But from a certain standpoint, she had indeed picked the wrong opponent. At least from what it appeared, my abilities obviously countered hers.

Her magic sword Sostya’s most dangerous ability wasn’t its trait to lengthen infinitely or its ability to change into any shape, nor was it the cursed souls in the sword. The most dangerous ability was actually the blade itself.

Its blade appeared to be corroded by too much blood and rather blunted. However, this blade was actually filled with the devils’ curse magic. All the blood on the sword was actually magic runes created using souls.

This magic sword would be even more dangerous when used by Lasnina, the Lord of Curses. As long as this sword came into contact with an enemy’s physical body, that enemy would instantly be struck with “aging”, “soul-sucking”, “idiocy”, “misfortune”, and more than twenty other powerful curses. Even an Order True God would become fallen if struck by this sword.

But, it was all meaningless in front of me…

“Roland, if you’re a real man, take off that turtle shell of yours!”

A beautiful woman’s anger would always be quite influential. However, I only wanted to laugh when hearing Lasnina say this.

“Ha, your taunting abilities are so bad that I’m wondering if you’re really a devil or not. You want me to take off my armor? Sure, but only if you throw away your sword first. Why don’t we try after that to see if I’m a real man or not?”

Alright then, the only response was her magical sword attacking me even more frequently in whip form. It seemed that Lasnina really wasn’t much like a normal devil, as she became angry so easily.

However, her attacks were still useless against me…

Yes, the reason why I had such an advantage from the very beginning was because of my full-body dragonscale ice armor, the “Guardian of Yongye” which had now evolved to become SemiGod Equipment.

Even the most venomous sword would still need to come into contact with your skin in order to kill you. This protective armor that I obtained by using half of all my abilities would never be broken through so easily. I would be undefeatable as long as my armor was intact! And, this living armor also had the ability to repair itself. The longer this battle went on, the greater my advantage would become.

Lasnina was quite correct when she commented that she chose the wrong opponent. She probably saw that Little Red’s dragon scales were quite thick with high magic resistance, which was why she picked me since I wasn’t wearing any armor. However, she hadn’t expected that I had the ability to instantly summon this heavy armor.

Meanwhile, Salor the Berserk Slaughterer had also met a troublesome opponent for him.

Salor was a well-known powerful devil. However, while reputation was useful for obtaining authority and respect, this would often come with a downside—the information about your abilities leaking out. I had summoned my ice armor instantly the moment that I saw Lasnina’s magic sword. Meanwhile, Little Red, who was also a highly experienced combat veteran, had also wisely and completely countered Salor’s abilities.

The famous Salor who had been in so many bloody battles was well known for his special ability as well as his physical appearance. Salor was capable of changing any object’s weight simply through touch, making it either heavier or lighter. He could use this to make even the strongest armor into something frailer than paper or to make a piece of paper as solid as a castle wall.

Nobody knew how he was able to accomplish this. However, this ability of his would counter all melee techniques. Fighting giant beasts would be nothing more than a simple task for him. He would basically be unstoppable in chaotic melee.

Little Red had instantly recognized her opponent, so she unhesitatingly gave up on using her true dragon form which was more powerful. Instead, she used her human form and showed off her magic abilities in both fire and wind magic, which were on par with any archmage’s.

The ability to fly, precise instant short-distance teleportation, dragon wing buffs, shooting fire breath, creating tornados, rattlesnake buff, high-speed buff, and so on. Little Red used her human form in tandem with dragon wings to show off what high mobility combined with the ability to fly was truly about in combat.

Her red figure would constantly appear and disappear in the sky. The clumsy and heavy male devil on the ground only chased after nothing but afterimages. Flames and windstorms would constantly greet him. Salor had already been knocked onto the ground twice. If it wasn’t for his power level, his entire body would have shattered already.

Red dragons naturally possessed excellent spatial senses and aerial combat techniques. Salor had yet to even touch his opponent. He was only taking hits for the entire fight so far!

“That’s right, your special ability is really powerful. You’ll be able to kill me instantly if you touch me. But, you’ll have to catch me first!” Little Red even taunted Salor while fighting.

Salor had met plenty of highly mobile enemies in the past before. He also possessed a powerful magic item that allowed him to instantaneously teleport at short distances. However, he used this twice and received nothing but dragonbreath twice in a row. Salor knew that he couldn’t just teleport as he pleased anymore in front of this fire and wind magic grandmaster. Her dragon eyes were capable of seeing through all dimensional cracks that appeared, knowing where he would teleport to.

Although Salor was highly durable, he felt like he would be cooked soon if he received flames constantly like this. He tried to ask for help from the Lord of Curses, but found that she was also making zero progress against her opponent.

Now, these two powerful devils finally regretted their arrogance. Why hadn’t they taken their entire devil armies with them? It was all for the sake of saving face!

I felt more reassured after seeing that Little Red had advantage in her battle. But just as I felt like we had such a great advantage, Lasnina really did toss down her magic sword.

“I’m bored, mortal. Allow me to show you my true power, the reason why I am called the Lord of Curses!”
