Although the weapon in Pandora's hand was a counterfeit, the form he had taken was also a replica.
The weapon Pandora now wielded was the "Takemikazuchi MK 8 (Fake)."
Takemikazuchi was a player focused on ultimate offensive power, so their defense was extremely weak.
Pandora swung the Takemikazuchi MK 8 toward the God of Death's puppet.
The puppet narrowly avoided the strike, and the God of Death watched closely.
This weapon was of the Holy attribute, which was particularly effective against undead beings, and the puppet he created was an undead, making it vulnerable to Pandora's weapon.
"Phantom Shadows!" A group of floating skulls rushed toward Pandora aimlessly.
However, Pandora had no more transformation attempts left.
Pandora could only transform three times a day, a restriction imposed by the game for players using "Doppelganger."
Once, a player had used exceptional skills to constantly switch classes, combining skills to kill enemies 10 levels above them, and the level gap kept growing, reaching 20 to 30 levels above.
As a result, the doppelganger ability was restricted to prevent frequent transformations in combat.
Since Takemikazuchi's defensive capabilities were very low, taking this attack would cause significant damage.
Pandora returned to his original form and released a magic shield to block the incoming attacks, but it only barely managed to defend.
Pandora's overall combat strength was not that impressive.
He was more suited to team fights and could serve in various roles, making him a "jack-of-all-trades."
However, in one-on-one battles, he was at a disadvantage.
Among the "Supreme Ones," there was no one who was a true "jack-of-all-trades," as each had their own strengths and weaknesses.
In practice, a jack-of-all-trades often underperforms, as they lack a clear specialty.
They were essentially "support" characters, effective in some situations but not particularly useful in others.
Pandora's skills were mostly weaker abilities, but the sheer number and variety allowed him to barely hold off the God of Death's puppet's attacks.
The puppet, however, had no intention of staying in combat.
After suppressing Pandora, it quickly released an attack aimed at breaking through the prison.
"Dark Energy Beam!" A black ray shot out, directly piercing the prison.
With a small hole appearing, the puppet effortlessly shattered the prison.
Pandora didn't just watch; instead, he turned his attention to the God of Death's skeleton minions and launched a barrage of magic attacks at them.
But the God of Death stubbornly took the hits.
Since Pandora's available powerful magic was limited, he couldn't effectively interrupt the God of Death's attack on the prison.
It didn't take long before the prison was destroyed.
The God of Death continued to head toward a trap he had prepared long in advance.
Pandora followed closely behind.
Their speeds were not far apart—Pandora couldn't overtake the God of Death, but the God of Death couldn't shake him off either.
At this point, the God of Death noticed Peroroncino in the distance, coming after him at an extremely fast speed.
The God of Death found it curious.
Wasn't the person who had been chasing him just now in Peroroncino's form? Now there was another bird-like figure? Or perhaps the bird-like figure was a special skill that allowed them to assume that form and gain incredible speed.
After thinking for a moment, the God of Death decided not to dwell on it any longer, as he had already arrived at his destination.
It was a living monster forest, filled with many poisonous creatures.
Even the God of Death's true body would be cautious and wouldn't rush in recklessly.
Everything in the forest, from poisonous plants to deadly creatures, had been cultivated by the God of Death from countless toxic bodies.
Although Peroroncino was with Shalltear, his speed remained incredibly fast.
Even though the interrogation of the prisoner had wasted some time, Peroroncino caught up quickly.
Mare was also on his way, but the situation kept changing.
At that time, Pandora had already informed Mare, but Mare didn't have flying abilities and relied on flight magic, which wasn't particularly fast.
Mare was still on the way but wasn't far off and would soon catch up.
When Peroroncino saw the God of Death's puppet, he also noticed the plants in the area.
They all looked ordinary, but there was no weed or tree near them.
The closest weeds were over ten meters away, leaving a clear area around them.
"Shalltear, there might be danger inside. Are you afraid?" Peroroncino asked.
"I'm not afraid!" Shalltear responded.
"Shalltear, are you ready?"
"I'm ready!" Shalltear replied, her gaze firm.
Peroroncino grabbed Shalltear by her slender waist and hurled her toward the puppet.
Shalltear, like a bullet shot from a gun, flew through the air.
With incredible speed, Peroroncino threw her, and Shalltear activated her skill, "Accelerate Time," further increasing her velocity to another level.
In mere seconds, Shalltear struck the God of Death's puppet with incredible precision.
The God of Death recognized Shalltear—this formidable individual had nearly thwarted him before.
If not for her cautious approach last time, he might not have escaped at all.
The God of Death wanted to control the puppet to flee, but it was too late.
The puppet was already moving at maximum speed, and changing direction required preparation.
A sudden turn could inflict severe damage on the puppet, and it wasn't guaranteed the turn would even succeed.
With only one second to react, Shalltear would close the distance in that short time.
The God of Death hesitated.
Shalltear, now close enough, pulled out her lance, the Drip Lance, gripping it tightly with both hands.
She struck the God of Death's puppet squarely in the chest, sending them both hurtling into the eerie forest below.
As Peroroncino approached, he noticed something strange about the forest.
The green was unnaturally vibrant, and the flowers bloomed in a vivid red, reminiscent of blood.
"Maximize Magic: Fireball!" Peroroncino cast a fireball spell and launched it into the eerie forest.
However, nothing happened—there was no explosion, no damage at all.
"A natural illusion!" Peroroncino was shocked.
Normal illusions didn't last long, nor could they include dynamic, moving imagery.
But everything before him swayed gently with the wind, as if it were real—not like any illusion he'd encountered before.
Peroroncino sensed the forest's unnaturalness and deliberated whether he should enter.
As for calling Momonga or his sister, Peroroncino dismissed the idea.
He wasn't certain this opponent was the same mysterious figure from before, and summoning them might be overkill.
He decided to check on Shalltear's situation first.
He tried to contact Shalltear, but there was no response.
Clearly, the area within the forest blocked communications.
"Should I go in or not?" Peroroncino pondered, weighing his options.
