Chapter 82 Silver Wolf: Seriously? Cheating in a game?
[Weapon Name: 7th Divine Key · Judgment of Shamash]
[Overview: A weapon crafted from the core of the 7th Herrscher, the Herrscher of Fire. It replicates the power of the Herrscher of Fire, possessing the strongest "destructive" force in the form of dual pistols.]
[Acquisition Method: Unknown Rarity: Unknown]
[Embers: Enemies within range have a 10% chance per second to be ignited, taking Fire elemental damage per second. The wielder continuously takes Fire elemental damage. (-1HP%/1s)]
[Note: The current wielder is exempt from this cost.]
[Zeroth Power Rating: The Herrscher cores at the safety catches of the dual pistols are joined together. The pistols extend and transform, forming a hilt. Blazing golden flames erupt skyward, coalescing into a blade, bringing equal destruction to all things. However, the price for this power is heavy; when unleashing Judgment of Shamash's drawn blade, it will also burn the user to ashes. (-100HP%)]
[Note: The current wielder is exempt from this cost.]
[Doom: When Judgment of Shamash's energy index exceeds 150%, it will break its limits and transform into an anomalous greatsword form called Doom. Like the incarnation of a god of destruction descending upon the world, only the light from a dying star's explosion can rival its brilliance, hence the origin of the meaning "Doom." Only a body that transcends mortality can withstand this endless destructive power. (-1000HP%)]
[Note: The current wielder is exempt from this cost.]

"..."
Not only did the screen full of special data dazzle Silver Wolf's eyes, but this series of cost exemptions one after another completely left her at a loss for where to even begin complaining. Is it really necessary to cheat so blatantly?!
In this virtual game space she created, all attributes naturally wouldn't be converted into corresponding data models. Even if someone wanted to use some overpowered weapon, they would still have to abide by the rule of bearing side effects. That's just how it should be.
Silver Wolf vaguely realized—the most outrageous thing here probably wasn't this special weapon, but rather this guy who ignored the rules and exempted himself from all costs.
"Heh, interesting. Seems I have to take back my previous words... The person the 'Corporation' found this time does have some skill after all. Let me see just how capable you really are!"
[MOON CHANGE——BLADE!]
As that distinctly electronic mechanical voice sounded, the object in Silver Wolf's hand instantly transformed into a bluish-purple blade. With a few flashes, she closed in on Kevin's side and swung it down at him fiercely.
BANG——!
The flashy blade slammed violently against Kevin's extended left arm used for defense. Not only was the result unsatisfactory, but the large characters that popped up above it left Silver Wolf unable to forget them for a long time.
[NO DAMAGE]
"..."
Silver Wolf was suddenly rendered speechless.
Game data naturally doesn't lie, right? If your attack power is lower than the opponent's defense, isn't it perfectly normal for an attack to deal no damage?
"This way of fighting feels quite novel... So now it should be my turn, right?"
Kevin could completely sense that the other party wasn't directly aiming for his life. But that didn't mean he would go easy on her either; at most, it would just be a difference of leaving her with a few more breaths.
After all, from Kevin's perspective, this was merely a stranger wearing a familiar face who immediately resorted to violence.
The next second, the greatsword wreathed in flames was swung fiercely by Kevin, instantly arcing towards Silver Wolf who was mid-air with no leverage, forcing her to raise her own blade horizontally in front of herself for defense.
BANG————!
Silver Wolf's petite figure was instantly sent flying by the tremendous force. But despite the seemingly overwhelming disparity in combat power, this didn't mean she would completely give up.
"That's more like it! A boss's stats need to be exaggerated for the game to be interesting!"
[MOON CHANGE——CANNON!]
The gap in raw strength instead made Silver Wolf increasingly excited. The blade in her hand transformed into some kind of laser cannon form following the special mechanical sound. Mid-air, she rapidly began accumulating energy, then fired that shell containing immense power down at Kevin below.
The energy projectile, almost devoid of any mass, was literally the fastest object in physical terms. It arrived almost instantaneously. Even Kevin could only raise his greatsword to defend based on her earlier movements.
BOOM————!
In this strange virtual space, the explosion didn't produce towering flames but rather those colorful pixelated special effects, which indeed looked quite spectacular... This was Pardo's firsthand impression from not far away.
But... while the manifestation of the explosion was altered, its power remained completely unchanged.
The tarmac ground collapsed under the terrifying bombardment, revealing its own wondrous essence composed of stacked pixel blocks. Kevin had already charged out from within the explosion effects a step earlier, instantly appearing above Silver Wolf and suddenly swinging down his Judgment of Shamash.
Even with some slight preparedness, Silver Wolf inevitably plummeted from the sky under the heavy blow. However, she didn't crash into a crater on the ground; instead, she bounced quite elastically off the surface, creating a large burst of special effects.
BANG—BANG—BANG!
Only after the final bounce did Silver Wolf flip twice mid-air to disperse the force before landing in a half-kneel on the ground. She immediately began frantically patting at the flames igniting on her body.
"Whoa! Hot hot hot!"
It took Silver Wolf several pats to finally extinguish the flames. Fortunately, under the special rules of this space, her clothes themselves weren't damaged.
"However, the situation doesn't look as good as it seems on the surface... huh?"
[Alloy Equipment Bronya: 63.2HP%]
[Unknown Boss Unit: 99.98HP% → 100HP%]
"Huh???"
Aside from the first ineffective attack, the second cannon shot did indeed damage the opponent... but... how does this guy have self-healing?!
Outrageous weapon stats, high attack power, strong defense, and now he can even heal... Who designed this kind of boss for whom to fight?!
Even as she couldn't stop complaining internally, Silver Wolf couldn't help but get more and more excited—since she could deal damage, that meant this big boss in front of her wasn't invincible, right?
Besides, it had been a long time since she encountered such a formidable enemy!
