Chapter 1079 The Power Of A Tank

Chapter 1079 The Power Of A Tank
-----
After Red forcefully broke the ice covering her body, she quickly conjured one of her Abilities.
"[Divine Blood Armor]!"
In a split of a second, part of her own Divine Aura, her Divine Domain, and her own blood covered her body, materializing into a powerful red armor.
Her power as a result began to grow stronger and stronger… Just how ridiculous is this woman's power?! Well, she's a Rank 9, I should had expected this much.
[Drake! You should try to absorb her Divinity right away! She's growing too strong, and we lack enough Divine Points to rank you up!]
I know, but I cannot do it yet…
[When do you even want to do it then?]
When she's at her strongest moment, when she thinks she finally got me.
Until then… I'll struggle until I find that opportunity.
[Are you sadistic?]
No, it is very simple, the Divinity Absorption Ability that the God Unique Skill awakened works in a "superficial" level, it only absorbs what's in front of me, and not the complete power of someone.
So, naturally, I have to wait until she's letting it al out to absorb everything more efficiently. And even then, she might still remain fairly strong… But it is a trump card I must use in the moment she will least expect it.
[As the System, I should had realized such a thing… You're right.]
For now, let's fight with everything we've got. Everyone else is doing the same. We can't give up in here.
FLASH!
Red approached like a red blur in just a split of a second. Her arms having merged with her aura, domain, and armor until they became enormous and sharp blades!
CLASH! CLAAASH!
The blades were extremely sharp, it felt like my scales were being peeled off with ease. The power I had accumulated all this time… it was finally time to use it all against this monster of a woman.
Since the moment I confronted Greenwood back then in Benladann's ruined town that I compromised into fighting him and all these abominations of his Soul Fragments, with everything I had.
I swung Skadi and Uller, combined with Rose and Belle through Spirit Fusion to enchant their power even further.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Red's attacks became faster and faster, as she started flying around, resembling only blurs of red color as she impacted me from above, below, to the right and the left side, endlessly assaulting me with her powerful blows.
She was too fast, faster than myself. The only thing I could do to intercept her attacks was to stand still and just tank her blows and hope to be able to parry and deal some damage to her, but things were getting more and more worrisome.
…Or were they?
I was someone that possessed with Immortal Body Unique Skill. From all people in this world, wouldn't I be the best one to tank hits?
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"T-This is… Why are you not dying from bleeding? And your wounds regenerate at an abnormal speed…" Red muttered. "I knew you had some sort of unique skill for regeneration but is it really this powerful?!"
"You're doing it wrong if you're so desperate you're asking your enemy for clues about their powers." I said with a smile.
The combination of this Unique Skill plus the Earth Dragon's Unmovable Mountain made for an amazing combination of both regeneration and defense.
-----
[Unmovable Mountain (A)]
The powerful Ability that most Earth Dragons who have reached a high rank possess, and a characteristic power of Earth Dragons. Grants the ability to turn one's body into a mountain itself. Connecting the body and soul with the power of the world itself, your body grows its endurance to completely new levels, and you become capable of absorbing the energies of the soil to recover your Health, Stamina, and Mana naturally.
Divine Power can also be gained over time by meditating while using this power. When activating the Divine Ability, Physical and Magical Defense is increased by x10 but Mana and small quantities of Divine Power are constantly consumed. This bonus can increase as the Divine Ability Grade increases.

This skill was amazingly useful right now!
"Tch, then tank this!"
Red finally grew more desperate, as she flew high into the skies and gathered a sea of mana and darkness together into the shape of a sword, quickly launching it at me!
"[Abyssal Blood Blade]! Find my enemy and slice him apart!"
FLASH!
The enormous blade fell down directly towards me, as I smiled back.
I raised my claws as I combined several Divinities and Divine Abilities together with Divine Magic, specially the power of Holy Sun!
"[Heavenly Dragon Scale Shield]!"
FLAAAASSSSHH!
An enormous shield made of hundreds of dragon scales made of Holy Light and Primordial Ice emerged before my body, blocking Red's powerful attack!
CLAAAASSSHHHH!!!
"W-What?!"
Red's face quickly grew paler than it already was after seeing what I did, after showing her that I was seemingly "weaker" than her, there's nothing better than destroying her stupid ego by surprising her like that!
However… this shield wasn't indestructible either.
Crack… crack…!
CRAAASH!
The shield shattered into pieces, as the blade was about to hit me.
"Hah! You bluffed way too much for something like- Huh?!"
However, the shield stopped right in midair, as the shield special effect activated.
Indeed, it wasn't a normal shield to just block attacks!
I created this shield by imbuing the power of a Shield Technique I had learned long ago, a Technique capable of sending back a foe's attack to them named Parry!
By the mysterious powers of the shield I made, which was now shattered, the blood blade stopped in midair and then gave a complete U-turn, going back directly where it came from, Red's face!
"Parry, bitch."
FLAAAASSSSSHHHH!
The blade flew directly towards Red, impacting her shields and domain and shattering them all! Indeed, she had put a lot of power into the projectile!
CRAAAASSSSSHHHHH!!!
