"Summon Minions!" With the release of the skill, a group of shadow creatures appeared around Shalltear's feet. The minions surged toward God of Death.
"Ultrasound!" God of Death immediately cast a spell, destroying both Shalltear's minions and the cage that Mare had cast.
"Special Skill, Fearful Black Mist!" A large amount of black mist began to swirl around God of Death.
"Magic Reinforcement! Hurricane!" Mare cast his spell. A massive tornado entered the black mist and then disappeared without a trace. The black mist was unaffected by the tornado in the slightest.
Shalltear charged straight into the black mist. Peroroncino's command was to restrain this guy. Shalltear definitely couldn't let him escape like this.
"Unholy Shield Impact!" Once she entered the black mist, Shalltear immediately felt disoriented. She quickly used Unholy Shield Impact, which restored her sense of direction. However, it didn't deal any substantial damage to the black mist.
"Treant Guardians!" Mare summoned eight treant guardians, sealing off the area around the black mist to prevent the God of Death from escaping.
Shalltear searched through the black mist but couldn't find any trace of the God of Death.
"Mare, did that guy leave the black mist?" Shalltear asked Mare.
"No, I'm sure he hasn't left the black mist!" The treant guardians had a wide detection range and could even detect invisible units. Mare was certain that the God of Death hadn't come out.
"There's nothing in the black mist, and nothing outside of it either. Where could he be?" Shalltear looked down at the ground... "Mare, check underground!" Shalltear called out.
Mare's staff struck the ground heavily. A radar-like pulse spread through the ground, searching for life.
"He's underground!"
"Magic Reinforcement: Magic Tree Roots!" A strange tree appeared before Mare, its vines quickly burrowing into the earth. God of Death, digging frantically underground, didn't notice a thing.
"Though it's a bit messy, digging a hole to save my life isn't so bad!" God of Death comforted himself. But then he felt danger, as the tree roots shot toward him with great force.
God of Death quickly reached out to grab the roots, but there wasn't just one—there were several, coming one after another from the soil.
He snapped the root he grabbed, and his scythe cut through the others, but more roots kept emerging.
"Hellfire!" God of Death, unwilling to hold back, used fire, which was the element that wood-type magical creatures feared most.
Hellfire ignited the roots, burning both them and the magic tree above them.
At the same time, with the death of the magic tree, a small tunnel formed from the underground roots, just big enough for Shalltear's minions to get through.
"Indeed, Lord Peroroncino is amazing. Staying by his side really makes me smarter!" Shalltear felt like she had become smarter, easily locating the God of Death's position.
Her minions rushed into the underground tunnel.
God of Death immediately burst out from underground.
"Have you ever heard of the World-Class Item Number Twenty?"
Shalltear and Mare both looked confused, as Peroroncino and Bukubukuchagama had never explained this to them, so they were unaware of it.
"Number twenty is the strongest of all World-Class Items, and because its power is so immense, it disappears after being used once."
"And this one is the Ascension Jewel, one of the number twenty World-Class Items! When used together with the Eye of Death, they create an extraordinary power!"
"Worship! Tremble! Despair!"
God of Death threw both World-Class Items into the air. The two items flashed like the lights of a camera, one black and one white. Shalltear and Mare experienced temporary blindness.
Shalltear rushed to Mare's side, preparing to shield him from any immediate damage, since she still had resurrection items. If Mare fell, she might not be able to restrain the God of Death alone.
Shalltear acted with Peroroncino's orders in mind, making the decisions she believed were best. After quietly waiting for five seconds, nothing happened. The two items continued to flash in the air.
Shalltear rushed towards them, grabbing each item with one hand. The flashing stopped, and both she and Mare regained their sight. God of Death was gone.
At that moment, a portal appeared, and Peroroncino, Sorcerer King, Bukubukuchagama, Victim, Cocytus, Sebas, Aura, and Pandora emerged from the portal.
God of Death, who had already run far away, felt pleased with his gamble. He almost didn't escape. Exchanging two relatively weak World-Class Items for his life wasn't a bad deal.
After he left, the fluctuations in the atmosphere were terrifying. With eight hundred-level fighters and the two others from earlier, even if he were the top fighter in the entire game, he wouldn't stand a chance!
God of Death realized that even if he were with the other five gods, the chance of winning would probably be less than 10%.
The two he encountered earlier, he felt, would be difficult to defeat even one-on-one, and the pressure of a two-on-one fight would be immense.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. It was too close!
"This was a win for sure, no loss at all!"
Sorcerer King, Bukubukuchagama, and Peroroncino looked at Shalltear, who was holding the two World-Class Items. They were confused. The enemy was gone, yet they saw the two World-Class Items. Had Shalltear killed the enemy and looted the gear?
"I'm sorry, Lord Peroroncino, I failed to complete your order. I let that person escape," Shalltear apologized to Peroroncino.
"No, no, it's my fault. If Shalltear hadn't been protecting me, she wouldn't have let him escape. It's all my fault for holding everyone back!"
Mare quickly spoke up, taking the blame.
"This is my fault. I misjudged the situation, and that's what led to this!" Shalltear didn't want Mare to take responsibility and spoke up.
"It's all my fault! I didn't react quickly enough, which gave the enemy an opportunity!" Mare felt his mistake was significant, leading to the situation.
"It's my fault!"
"It's my fault!"
"Stop! Let's talk about what happened first!" Peroroncino interrupted them.
After returning to Nazarick through the portal, Peroroncino first informed the two of the situation.
Then, when they met up, they tried to use magic to observe what had happened, but their detection magic was countered, and they couldn't see what transpired.
This result made the normally calm Momonga stop the two from rushing directly to the scene.
They then brought Victim along, along with a few guardians who didn't have other urgent matters.
If danger arose, they planned to throw Victim into the fray as a last resort. They would retreat afterward.
Because of this, the time it took for them to teleport increased by several dozen seconds, which gave the God of Death a chance to escape.
Upon hearing Shalltear's explanation, Peroroncino patted her head.
"Shalltear, you did well. You didn't make a mistake. You've already grasped the essence of PVP—composure!"
"Mare did great too!" Bukubukuchagama praised Mare, patting his head.
Pandora glanced at them, then at his master, his eyes filled with expectation.
Momonga noticed Pandora's gaze and quietly took a small step away from him.
