The Evil Warrior unleashed a Holy Slash filled with wicked aura, yet its power was nearly on par with that of the Holy Slash wrapped in Holy Light.
Even with its formidable Magic Resistance, the Mercury Avatar had already taken several Holy Slashes, each time sustaining severe damage.
Because it had already been struck so many times, faced with this even more impressive blood-red Holy Slash, the Mercury Avatar would not foolishly choose to withstand it directly.
Its blurred humanoid form quickly writhed and reshaped into a diamond-shaped shield, causing the blade of the blood-red Holy Slash to cleave diagonally off the shield.
This was a Mithril shield, inherited metal properties from having devoured the Paladin's equipment.
Adamantine could enhance the sharpness of weapons, while Mithril was indestructible and highly suitable for crafting shields and armor.
