Overgeared

“......!”

The girl was swallowed by the golden breath and couldn’t even scream. In order to withstand the immense pressure, she gritted her teeth and circulated the spiritual energy in her body. This was the first time she’d had difficulties fighting an opponent in thousands of years.

To borrow a saying of mortals, she squeezed out all the strength she had. As a result, some of the shields that had been melted by the Breath were repaired. Her torn flesh and bones were finally restored to their original appearances.

As the Breath’s momentum weakened, the girl, who was finally freed from the pressure, looked resentful.

‘Why did he run away back then?’

A few days ago, the girl woke up in a strange world, tracked down the most powerful energy nearby, and encountered the golden dragon. It was quality prey. The golden dragon was weak compared to how valuable he was. He barely survived the girl’s ambush back then.

...Looking back on it now, she realized it wasn’t that the dragon was unable to fight back. He just chose not to.

“You have the ability to control time, right? When I ambushed you, did you see the future and ran away just so you could humiliate me greatly now?

The girl used honorifics when speaking. The greatest goal of a cultivator was survival. The fact that the girl changed her attitude to be more polite meant that she perceived Raiders as a clear threat.

Raiders looked at the girl for a moment before sneering. [You are very self-aware.]

He didn’t care about her. Raiders hadn’t treated the cultivators badly when he first encountered them because he suspected they were also apostles of the foreign god. But his assumption had been wrong.

Raiders now perceived the cultivators as enemies. They were foreign enemies, who weren’t even players, yet they dared invade this land. He considered they should be exterminated.

Raiders’ Breath bombardment started in earnest.

Considering the level of the enemy, he fired beams of light continuously without pausing. The entire area was bathed in gold and rippled noisily. There was no corner where the waves of power didn’t reach. Everything turned to ashes.

The girl tutted. “This damn beast is so ferocious...”

She paused as she was about to take out her defensive treasure. It occurred to her that the treasures had become unusable.

The woman smiled regretfully as she unfolded a cloth and infused spiritual energy into it. Protective gear made of cloth was deployed faster than metal treasures, but it had less defense. She hadn’t used it much after her cultivation increased, but it was a good way to stop the Breaths.

The cloth worked just fine, unlike the metal orbs that stopped working as soon as the golden light of the Breath touched them.

“I see.”

Thanks to this, the girl gained valuable information. The golden beam of light belonged to the metal element of the five elements.

“Metal is weak against fire.”

Still smiling regretfully, the girl set off a spark of flames and surrounded herself with them. Her Bone Demon Flame was capable of crushing and burning the target to ashes. It was so powerful that it melted away all the golden beams coming from all directions.

Of course, every time the beam of light dissipated, the magic power that was condensed inside exploded and caused a tremendous aftershock. However, thanks to the cloth treasure and shields, the girl was able to avoid a serious injury.

As the girl defended against the Breaths, Raiders approached and swung his tail. The girl, who had been pinned to the ground like she was weightless, jumped up.

In the great ascension realm, the cultivators had refined spiritual energy flowing through their skin, flesh, meridians, bones, and the five organs. To put it simply, the refined spiritual energy was similar to an aura.
