"Boom!"

Standing in front of Danass, the four Demon Warriors began to exude terrifying Magic Power. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

It was denser, heavier, even more oppressive than before.

Danass flipped open the book in his hands, causing dark glows to emanate and merge into the bodies of the Demon Warriors.

Boosted by such power, the four Demon Warriors surged, their magic dramatically increasing.

"What is that...?"

Shane exclaimed in surprise.

And Shane’s surprise brought a smile to Danass’s face.

"Surprised?" Danass lightly said, "Don’t be surprised. This book has quite the origin. Have you ever heard of the ’Book of Plotting’?"

"’Book of Plotting’?"

Shane frowned.

He had never heard of that name.

However, Mafi, who was bisecting evil creatures nearby, heard Danass’ words and cried out.

"Could it be the legendary Magic Book capable of seizing Unique Skills?"

Mafi’s words plunged Shane into astonishment.

"A book that can seize Unique Skills?"

Are there really such rule-breaking Magic Tools in this world?

While Shane was astonished, Danass spoke with a tinge of regret,

"It’s not so easy to use. Unique Skills are known as powers that defy reason. If they could be easily taken, that would be an insult to their name."

Danass, truly looking regretful, continued,

"To use the ’Book of Plotting’ to seize another person’s Unique Skill, several extremely demanding conditions must be met."

"Not only must the person being seized willingly offer their Unique Skill, but they must also sacrifice themselves in self-immolation before the ’Book of Plotting’."

"Even then, the chance of successfully seizing a Unique Skill is less than one in ten. Also, depending on how successful the seizure is, the Unique Skill will eventually vanish— it has a limited time to use."

"Furthermore, the ’Book of Plotting’ can only hold one Unique Skill at a time, and it cannot be discarded unless the seized Unique Skill has reached its time limit and disappears on its own. Thus, this book has significant limitations."

"Like now, the Unique Skill recorded in the ’Book of Plotting’ has less than a year of usage time left. After that, it will vanish completely and never appear again."

Having said this, Danass smiled once more,

"But luckily, the Unique Skill now recorded in the ’Book of Plotting’ is extremely useful to me."

"It can ignore all conditions and multiply a magic life’s power several times over. I certainly went through a lot of trouble to obtain this Unique Skill."

"Now, it’s time for you to experience its power."

Danass’s smile suddenly turned cold.

"Go forth, Demon Warriors—let him witness your power firsthand."

At Danass’s command, the four Demon Warriors abruptly looked up.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the four Demon Warriors disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

"...!"

Shane’s expression hardened as he immediately raised his Holy Sword high, letting the [Magical Sword] slash around him.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The four Demon Warriors appeared instantly around Shane, once again encircling him and swiftly drawing closer, their hands outstretched, casting Magic Barriers in front of them.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang—!"

Shane’s Holy Sword swept through, striking the barriers in front of the Demon Warriors like a cyclone, but failing to break through as before. Instead, in a clashing of metal, it was violently repelled.

Then, capitalizing on Shane’s momentary pause, one of the Demon Warriors quickly sped up and flashed behind Shane, once again spreading his hands and strikingly unleashing a series of Magic Whips that instantly entwined Shane.

"Be careful!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, both Oz and Mafi’s expressions drastically changed.

At the same time, the other three Demon Warriors also flashed around Shane, their hands under their cloaks shaking slightly as they each grabbed a thorn-like spike, mercilessly stabbing Shane.

Knowing that Shane possessed the [Magic Resistance] Skill, these four Demon Warriors chose to physically attack to finish him.

Thus, the three Demon Warriors’ spikes aimed respectively for Shane’s throat, heart, and head.

However...

"Clang—"

The next second, as a neat crisp clashing sound rang out, the three sharp spikes hit Shane’s vital parts, but as if hitting steel, sparks flew as they were violently repelled from Shane’s body.

"What?"

Danass, thinking the battle was already decided, saw this and his pupils constricted.

"Does he also possess a high-level [Physical Resistance] Skill?"

Is this a joke?

Resistance Skills were not unfamiliar to Danass.

He had seen high-level Resistance Skills as well.

To ignore the attacks of four Level 80+ Demon Warriors as if nothing, this Resistance Skill must be at least Level 9 or above, right?
