Chapter 83: Judgment of Shamash!
"Wow, you're really something, probably even stronger than most opponents I've faced."
Even though her current situation was extremely dire, Silver Wolf suddenly grinned as she looked at Kevin, her hands beginning to rapidly swipe through the void. "But then again, you might not know why a stellar hacker is called a hacker—"
"Prometheus, how's the data collection on that weapon going?"
Silver Wolf directly looked down at her weapon that could constantly change forms, and it promptly responded.
[Hack successful—Data simulation complete—New form unlocked]
"You thought I was just taking a beating? You've been using such good equipment for so long; it's about time you lent it to me for a bit, right?"
[MOON CHANGE—Judgment of Shamash!]
The weapon in Silver Wolf's hand rapidly transformed, and amidst a surge of data streams, it completely changed into a greatsword identical to the Judgment of Shamash in Kevin's hand. The only slight flaw was probably... given Silver Wolf's height, wielding this greatsword that was almost as tall as her seemed a bit mismatched?
But when she held the greatsword with both hands and raised it to her side, it actually looked pretty convincing?
"Wow, it's been so long since I've gotten equipment with data this good!"
Looking at the Judgment of Shamash she held in her hands, Silver Wolf's eyes seemed to shine even through her glasses. As a qualified gamer, besides pursuing the highest leaderboard scores, the most important thing was, of course, collecting rare weapons and equipment one by one.
Although what she held now was merely copied data, since the other party could easily simulate and skillfully use it, it meant this weapon definitely existed in reality.
Once she won, she could just ask him where he hid the treasure chest, right?
"Then next... it's time for round two!"
With the top-tier weapon in hand, Silver Wolf's confidence instantly skyrocketed. Swinging the Judgment of Shamash, she charged toward Kevin not far away and launched an attack without hesitation.
Boom—!
Two nearly identical greatswords clashed together, except one was wreathed in crimson flames while the other's flames and light were a darker, more subdued pale blue... Of course, this was merely a visual effect Silver Wolf changed for aesthetics; the actual power wouldn't change at all.
"Whoo! It's been so long since I've played such an exciting game!"
After adapting during the initial phase, Silver Wolf's greatsword swung faster and faster. Her entire body almost turned into a streak of pale blue flame, constantly darting and leaping around Kevin, her attacks growing increasingly fierce.
But no matter how fast she was, Kevin always precisely blocked every one of her attacks with his own Judgment of Shamash, even doing so with just one hand, clearly having plenty of strength to spare.
"Your ability does seem quite useful, but if this is all you have, a circus clown might be a more fitting role for you."
Perhaps somewhat displeased with Silver Wolf copying his weapon, Kevin directly raised his frost-covered left hand and firmly gripped the blade she swung at him.
Clang————!
The greatsword and palm collided with a sound of clashing steel. The pale blue flames continued to burn the solid ice on Kevin's hand but only barely matched the waves of cold air emanating from the frost.
"Huh?!"
Silver Wolf tried to pull her weapon back but found the blade firmly clamped in Kevin's grasp.
The next second, Kevin's greatsword swung fiercely from the other side, crashing directly into the hastily formed defensive barrier beside Silver Wolf. The impact sent both her and her weapon flying, bouncing several times on the ground before finally landing.
"H-How? The attributes of both weapons should theoretically be exactly the same?!"
Silver Wolf had full confidence in her hacking abilities. Without her permission, the other party shouldn't even be able to create weapons in this virtual space she created.
Similarly, all data streams used by the other party would be intercepted by her virtual space, ultimately forming the perfect replica in Silver Wolf's hand... Except for the color being different, its other attributes were absolutely identical to the Judgment of Shamash in Kevin's hand.
But why was there such a huge difference in performance between the greatsword in her hand and the one in Kevin's?!
"Tch... I'll freeze your account. Let's see how you cause trouble without a weapon!"
Silver Wolf extended her hand and rapidly moved it through the void until finally giving a fierce swipe. With a bang, the Judgment of Shamash in Kevin's hand dispersed back into data streams and vanished into thin air.
This was her data space. She could allow others to use its features and could conversely deny them—don't talk about fighting unfairly; this was the absolute justice of the game's official side!
"Heheh, next up, it's my turn to use your own ultimate move against you!"
[Data stream correction—Negative BUFF temporarily erased—]
As Silver Wolf raised the greatsword high above her head, pale blue flames began to gather continuously at the blade, then gradually coiled around her body, completely enveloping her—
The massive energy even began to affect the construction of this virtual space. Most of the data was diverted to maintain this terrifying attack, and the surrounding environment gradually degraded into pixels flowing into it.
"Judgment of Shamash, Zeroth Power Rating—"
"Judgment... Draw!!!"
A world-destroying offensive instantly erupted from the blade in Silver Wolf's hand, transforming into a terrifying beam and torrent of flames that surged toward Kevin, who stood unarmed not far away. In an instant, it completely swallowed his relatively small figure.
"Wah! Boss Kevin?!"
This terrifying scene scared little Pardo so much her legs almost gave way. No matter how much confidence she had in her new boss's strength, no normal human could possibly withstand such a horrifying attack head-on, right?
She wouldn't have just taken up her new post only to jinx her new boss to death already??!
However, when the towering blue flames subsided, what appeared before Pardo's eyes wasn't any scenario she had imagined—
For some reason, Kevin's hand had transformed into something like a monster's sharp claw, firmly gripping the greatsword. The blade originally wreathed in pale blue flames had completely turned dark blue... except... that was due to the solid ice covering it.
"Unfortunately, the reason a sword can become my weapon—"
Boom—!
"—is because only I can personally break it."
