This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Lifting of Restrictions

 Living mercury has only three abilities.

The first one is the super magic resistance that the Alchemy City somehow obtained, so that even the holy warrior's Holy Slash cannot cause much damage; the second one is the devouring talent from the slime race. It's just that after turning into living mercury, it only swallows metal.

 The last one is the innate ability that Amberxiu spent a lot of time and effort to give from the soul level - the transformation technique.

Living Mercury is a newborn child. He is not proficient in mastering this talent and can only simply imitate it.

 As a result, the living mercury turned into a mercury humanoid, which looked somewhat similar to the shape of the paladin, but the details were blurred, like a half-melted candle.

But regardless of whether the shape is exquisite or not, the movement of the paladin just now is indeed very vividly imitated.

The Holy Slash wielded by the living mercury did not have the power of the holy light, but the heavy mercury brought a strong impact. When the paladin raised his sword to block, he was shocked back two steps.

Living Quicksilver pursues the victory, but will only continue to use the same move.

 Lifting up the sword and slashing, it was still as fast as thunder.

But the paladin would not be forced back by the same move. He turned the edge of his sword and blocked it with the spine of the sword. The slashing power of the living mercury was completely removed. Then the paladin took advantage of the situation to spin the sword and hit it deeply. Cut deep into the head of living Mercury.

The sword's edge directly split the living Mercury's head in half. If it were a human, he would definitely not be able to survive such an injury. But for living mercury, this may only be considered a skin injury.

The mercury solution squirmed and healed, even sealing the paladin's sword in the mercury's head. Then the living mercury followed the same pattern and rotated its mercury sword, slashing towards the paladin's head. But when the sword edge was about to fall on the paladin's head, a layer of white-gold aura appeared on the paladin's helmet.

 Aura of protection is the exclusive ability of the paladin. It condenses the power of protection through devout faith and can resist a variety of different harms.

The mercury long sword encountered the guardian aura, and finally slid past the paladin's helmet, causing the living mercury to fall into an off-balance state.

The paladin seized this opportunity and used a dazzling swordsmanship to cut the living mercury into pieces until the human form was completely gone.

 In one round of confrontation, Living Mercury was completely defeated and completely crushed in swordsmanship.

Just when the paladin retracted his sword and regained his breath, the living mercury that had been cut into strange shapes quickly recovered, and then used the same move on the paladin.

Amberson was very satisfied when he saw this scene.

The soul of this living mercury was carefully prepared by him, and the transformation technique must be paired with a strong ability to imitate and learn to be effective. This living mercury can perfectly imitate the swordsmanship of the paladin after just one look, which shows that Amberxiu's efforts were not in vain.

 But although living mercury has a strong ability to imitate, it is impossible to compare with the paladin in swordsmanship.

Each paladin's martial arts are refined over time. Although the paladin in the cell lacks adventure experience, his swordsmanship is definitely at the master level.

The sword was shining brightly, and the two long swords were constantly clashing. It's obviously the same move, but the paladin can always avoid the living mercury's blade, and then slash his long sword onto the living mercury. Even with the same set of swordsmanship, subtle differences in strength, angles and turns can make the battle scene one-sided. If it weren't for the fact that Living Mercury's body had the ability to split and combine freely like a slime, it would have been torn into pieces.

The paladin also saw the weakness of the living mercury. This monster can only imitate, but does not know which moves are fakes, which moves can be changed into combos, and he can calmly suppress it.

In this way, the paladin was not in a hurry, nor did he use the skills of other paladin. He just used the living mercury as a target for sword practice.

　　It's not because he is arrogant, but because he knows that his opponent is not only the monster in front of him, but also the lich hiding outside the cell.

The power of the paladin is not unlimited. Now that he has used up all his holy light power to deal with a monster, wouldn't he have to sit back and wait for death when facing the lich?

So the paladin showed restraint when he could still suppress the living mercury, and tried his best to use sword skills to consume the power of the living mercury. He didn't believe that this monster could heal itself infinitely, nor did he believe that this monster could carry out high-intensity battles without any loss.

The choice of the Paladin is undoubtedly correct. Every time the living mercury heals the body or changes form, it needs to consume the energy contained in the body. These are all energies converted by swallowing metal, and they will always be used up.

If it continues to be consumed in this way, this new living mercury may not be able to consume the rigorously trained paladin. Before the opponent's physical strength is exhausted, the living mercury will be chopped until it is completely inactive.

Amberxiu couldn't help but sigh. The reputation of the Holy Warriors of the Lion Empire was well-deserved. The strongest empire on the mainland was really not just a boast.

 But if you lose like this, how can you still do business?

The memory crystal is recording video. It would be troublesome to edit it later.

Therefore, Amber Xiu could no longer be an audience. He reminded him through the iron gate: "Silly boy, you don't have to maintain your human form. Why can you only use one sword? You don't only have two hands! Let go of your imagination." , asking you to learn the enemy's swordsmanship does not mean that you must be exactly the same!”

As soon as he said this, the living mercury, which had just been cut open and ready to heal, suddenly stopped. The two halves of the cut head stopped healing. Instead, they stretched and lengthened, turning into two thin swords and stabbing at the paladin. .

This stabbing technique is no different from what the paladin used before, but the two swords are coming out at the same angle as the door opposite the forehead. The paladin is in a hurry to deal with it, and the smooth rhythm is interrupted instantly.

Although he successfully blocked the double sword attack, he also returned a sword hilt blow with his backhand, knocking out a huge dent in the chest of the living Mercury.

  But this is the last struggle of the paladin.

 The living mercury was reminded by Amber Xiu's words, and the restrictions were immediately released.

It is indeed impossible to compete with the paladin in swordsmanship in human form, but what if it is not in human form?

Slime has no form restrictions, so why do you have to fight in a posture that you are not good at?

The body of the living mercury squirmed and twisted, and many arms and swords grew out, dancing like windmills and swinging towards the paladin.

The paladin felt like he was being besieged by several colleagues. Their swordsmanship was all the same. Looking at the direction in which the sword was swung, he could tell where the attack was going. The problem was... there were too many swords. !
