Chapter 1145: All Out [3]
Michael had no intention of allowing that.
If he wanted to kill her, he could not depend entirely on his Rank Four forces. He needed something else.
Fortunately, the woman's actions had also exposed a weakness. She was in a hurry.
The instant she appeared, she had attempted to kill him. She did not waste time making demands or attempt to interrogate him about the Universal Cornerstone.
Michael knew she could not remain here for long.
The demonic factions might possess hidden strongholds and methods of concealing themselves from Aurora's powers, but they had never been free to act openly.
If Demigods belonging to the demonic factions could enter major cities whenever they wished, Aurora would have fallen long ago.
The fact that they remained concealed proved that Aurora's righteous powers still possessed enough strength to suppress them.
Michael estimated that he only needed to delay her. Five minutes. Perhaps ten at most. The Federation would not ignore this. Neither would the academies or any other strong forces capable of opposing this woman.
The problem was keeping her here until reinforcements arrived. A Demigod would undoubtedly possess an escape method. The moment she realized the attack had failed, she might leave.
Michael's gaze sharpened.
The blood-robed woman floated above the broken formation, staring down at the city with murderous eyes. Her barrier pulsed. The surrounding attacks were repelled simultaneously.
A crimson wave exploded outward. Hundreds of spells shattered before reaching her. Several of Michael's undead who had been flying upward to meet her were thrown backward by the resulting force, smashing through rooftops and walls.
Yet none retreated. The damaged undead rose almost immediately.
Numerous emerald-green eyes remained fixed upon the woman above.
It was at this moment that Michael revealed his trump card.
"Law Skill…"
"…Echoed Bestowal."
The target of this skill was once again his Undead High Drake.
However, though this skill had proven itself formidable within the Origin Battlefield, it alone was far from capable of competing with a Demigod on equal footing.
But this wasn't the Origin Battlefield. This was Aurora. And thanks to a certain gift of Michael's, the effect of this skill was far stronger than anything he had demonstrated before.
[Gift]: Aurora's Child
[Description]: Ever since Aurora awakened, she has been searching for a partner to her will. Unfortunately, she has yet to find one. Still, Aurora has not given up. At certain points, she chooses individuals born within her realm as candidates to inherit her will.
[Effect]: Law effectiveness is increased by 200% within Aurora.
With this gift, the power the Undead High Drake would draw from the law skill would be far greater, and without any additional cost.
But since a Demigod was the opponent here, Michael, true to his cautious nature, went all out.
Without anyone noticing, an item appeared above Michael's left hand, hovering silently in the air.
Months ago, thanks to Jester infusing him with a skill that allowed Michael to link his soul with inanimate objects, Michael had gained the ability to use his talent on objects as well.
But aside from using it on his first spear, he hadn't linked his soul to another object since, even after using the Perfect Mastery skill ticket he had received as an advancement reward to strengthen the skill.
[Object Refinement Art {Perfect Mastery}]
Functions as both an anchor and a storage space. Infuse an item with your soul signature to bind it. This grants the ability to summon or dismiss it at will from the soul space, and allows a more comprehensive degree of control and compatibility with the item and its abilities.
Current Slot: 3/5
At Intermediate Mastery, this skill obtained from the cultivation world had only allowed for two item refinements.
At that time, Michael had used it on his now-evolved coffin of the forgotten and his now Epic Grade spear, which had not even been an Extraordinary Grade weapon back then.
Now at Perfect Mastery, Michael could refine three more items with his soul.
With such limited slots granting him the ability to evolve inanimate objects through his talent, Michael valued each one greatly.
Setting aside the two objects he had already refined in the past, one now at Legendary Grade and one at Epic Grade, Michael had also bonded his soul to a third item.
At the time he had bound his soul to it, it had only been a Three-Star Extraordinary item.
[Enhancer (Three-Star Extraordinary Grade)]
Once a One-Star Epic-Grade artifact that was partially destroyed and dropped in rank. Its effect, when activated, boosts the effectiveness of a law by at least 200%.
Duration lasts ten minutes, and with natural recovery, requires four months of cooldown.
After Michael's 'care' over the past few months, this item was considerably stronger.
[Enhancer (Three-Star Epic Grade)]
Not only did its effect duration extend to twenty minutes. Its effectiveness boost over one's law had risen to as high as 400%.
The only downside was that its cooldown had increased from four months to eight months.
Thanks to the evolution, its previous cooldown had reset entirely, making this item a usable trump card once again.
The form of the Epic Grade Enhancer was a silver orb covered in numerous mysterious runes that constantly shifted positions across its surface.
Thanks to its effect, the boost to Michael's law reached 400%.
Combined with the 200% from his gift, the total amplification reached 600%.
Even Michael himself did not know how strong his Undead High Drake would become under such conditions.
Fortunately, it was time to find out. And even better, there was an enemy present to test it on.
The moment Michael activated the skill alongside the Enhancer to empower his Undead High Drake, the bronze-skinned undead disappeared from the living room, catching the attention of the other four visitors.
But before anyone could say a word about it, or about the situation they currently found themselves in, an enormous pressure erupted throughout the city.
This time, it brought every single being to their knees, including Michael himself, who had initially been prepared.
