Chapter 329: Harvest, Releasing "Final War (Good)"
New Era, three years prior.
Upper Wind Moon, April 5th.
Calinsha.
"Colorless Peace" Inn.
After a day of travel, the group that had defeated the Undead in the Hills had returned.
Tang Zheng stood before the transparent glass window, looking out at the bustling street, just as it always was. This war in the Hills, which had caused heavy casualties and shaken both Demi-humans and humans, was unknown and unfelt by ordinary people.
However.
Tang Zheng knew that what had happened in the Abelion Hills would soon spread.
Neither the Holy Kingdom nor the Adventurer's Guild would conceal such inspiring news of eliminating the Undead and quelling the unrest.
But some information needed to be kept secret.
The remaining personnel from Tang Zheng, the Holy Kingdom, and the Slane Theocracy had discussed this.
The main information to be concealed was the intelligence about the "Dominion Authority Angel" summoned by the Slane Theocracy. Once this information was concealed, some details would need to be discussed by the three parties.
Tang Zheng was very clear that what the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy truly cared about was his method of integrating with Angels.
However, neither Quartet nor the remnants of the Sunlight Scripture could make the decision; they needed to return to their respective countries to report.
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the window and turned around to look at Anri, who was lying asleep on the large wooden bed in the guest room.
She had been unconscious for a day and two nights.
There was no special reason, it was entirely due to excessive physical exhaustion.
Breaking through her own level limit and using high-level strength had clearly caused some unavoidable after-effects.
"Her level is too low, she needs to raise it quickly to adapt to the power." Tang Zheng gently shook his head. He estimated that Anri would wake up soon.
When Brain had broken through his own limit and unleashed the destructive power of level 40, it had directly caused his physical body to collapse. Anri merely fell unconscious for a period, which was a much lower price.
"Your fame will probably surpass mine as the leader before long."
Tang Zheng thought of something and chuckled softly, then got up and walked towards the great hall outside the guest room.
The temporary agreement reached by the three parties was that the Death Knight and the Alliance Leader of Zuranon were resolved through the combined efforts of all three.
This way, the matter of the "Dominion Authority Angel" could be covered up, and incidentally, Tang Zheng's method of integrating with Angels could also be indirectly hidden.
However, regarding the achievement of eliminating the Soul-Eating Demon, a legendary Undead, Quartet and the other party proactively offered to assist in publicizing it, as compensation for concealing Tang Zheng's achievements.
In reality, it was still not ideal. The performance of "Free Will" in this incident forced the two parties to treat it with caution.
In the great hall.
Aside from the Evil Spirit Dog, the Emerald Witch was not present.
This is because the Emerald Witch did not return with Tang Zheng, but instead remained in the Abelion Hills.
The reason Tang Zheng agreed to stop Quartet was that "Seven Color Scales" Kokash had indeed offered sufficient conditions.
This was Tang Zheng's original goal, but the outcome changed slightly.
To put the other party's goal simply,
It was nothing more than wanting to obtain Tang Zheng's protection. There were many conditions, such as the treasures of various tribes, the blood of demi-humans, and so on.
But facing these conditions that catered to his preferences, and even made any adventurer's heart pound, Tang Zheng remained indifferent.
Finally,
"Seven Color Scales" Kokash, with a ruthless resolve, expressed submission to the Emerald Witch, willing to let the Emerald Witch become the king ruling the remaining tribes in the Hills area.
In the current Hills, after suffering the disaster of the Undead, there are less than 30,000 demi-humans remaining, the vast majority of whom are young and women and children from various tribes.
The former top powers of each tribe, the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes" who awed all sides, are now only "Beast General" Hector Weiss and "Seven Color Scales" Kokash.
In this situation,
The Hills demi-humans could no longer withstand any disaster.
Both the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy showed extreme hostility towards the demi-humans. Only Tang Zheng, due to his relationship with Go Gin and the Emerald Witch, did not show hostility towards the demi-humans.
Coupled with the power displayed by Tang Zheng and Anri respectively,
Various reasons,
Led to "Seven Color Scales" Kokash making this decision.
"At this time, the Emerald Witch should have already met with the White Mist Witch and Lizardman Kuruche."
Tang Zheng stretched, thinking as he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Lizardman Kuruche and the other had been staying in the true gathering place of the demi-humans, and had also used Fourth Tier Magic "Cloud Manipulation" to solve the lack of water and drought, gaining great fame among the Hills demi-humans.
Currently,
Whether secretly or openly, Tang Zheng already had absolute control over the entire Abelion Hills.
As for whether "Seven Color Scales" Kokash was truly submissive, or just superficially agreed to deal with the crisis first and secretly accumulate strength?
Tang Zheng didn't care at all.
"Once a 'name' is established,"
"It will be difficult to remove it again."
Tang Zheng said to the Evil Spirit Dog beside him: "Right, Xiao Hei."
"Woof." The Evil Spirit Dog wagged its tail first.
"It seems you agree with this point of view."
Tang Zheng patted the Evil Spirit Dog's head and smiled lightly: "The Twin Witches, Lizardman Kuruche, coupled with Go Gin, should be enough to stabilize the Hills demi-humans who are currently licking their wounds."
"Speaking of which, the original plan was to have Go Gin openly lead the Abelion Hills, but this result is also not bad."
"As for Kokash of the 'Seven Color Scales', he's such a clever demi-human. After using his reputation to stabilize the situation, it's better to secretly deal with him to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Stay home and guard the door, Xiao Hei."
Teleport!
Tang Zheng took advantage of this time when no one was interfering with him to first check his gains.
The air twisted for a moment.
Tang Zheng's figure disappeared from the room. As his vision shifted, a fiery red light appeared before his eyes.
The Lava Zone.
The Shadow Clone stood silently on the rock ground, which was red-hot from the high temperature. Beside it lay the shattered body of the Alliance Leader.
The intense heat had charred the dry flesh covering the bones. There was a faint smell of burnt decaying flesh in the air.
"You worked hard."
Tang Zheng spoke lightly to the Shadow Clone, a thought flashing through his mind.
The Shadow Clone's body became ethereal, dissipating like a broken bubble. The red robe it wore fell to the ground.
With a "clink".
The Sealed Magic Crystal also fell from the disappearing "Shadow Clone", making a crisp sound as it hit the ground and rolled to Tang Zheng's feet.
"After the Heroic Spirit Soul merged with the Shadow Clone, its duration far exceeded my initial expectations. It even compensated for the Heroic Spirit Soul's inability to use magic."
Tang Zheng bent down to pick up the Sealed Magic Crystal, his eyes bright.
Aside from being unable to speak and use Class Skills, it could be completely treated as a true combat-ready clone!
Just the result of this experiment alone.
Could be considered a huge gain!
"Sealed Magic Crystal, an item from the game YGGDRASIL."
Tang Zheng looked down at the Sealed Magic Crystal in his hand, which was crystal clear and composed of several sharp cylindrical crystals, his heart feeling a bit warm:
"This Magic Item is truly wasted in the hands of the Slane Theocracy."
The Sealed Magic Crystal could store the power of Tier Magic, but the Slane Theocracy could only store some low-tier magic. If that were the only case, it wouldn't be considered a "waste".
In the game YGGDRASIL, Magic Scrolls, Short Staffs, and Staffs could all do this.
The true value of the "Sealed Magic Crystal" was that it could store the power of Super-Tier Magic!
When the Undead King first saw Captain Nigun take out the Sealed Magic Crystal, he immediately had Albedo activate a special skill to protect him.
He was worried that the Sealed Magic Crystal contained power at the "Seraph" level, and even suspected whether levels like Stellar Seraph or Supreme Seraph would appear.
It was clear!
The upper limit of power that the "Sealed Magic Crystal" could store far exceeded the power of "Tier Magic".
"Strange, logically speaking, the Great Tomb of Nazarick shouldn't be short of Sealed Magic Crystals. The Undead King also mentioned that Sealed Magic Crystals aren't considered precious."
Tang Zheng held the Sealed Magic Crystal in his hand, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes:
"Why hasn't it been used? After all, unlike scrolls, Sealed Magic Crystals can be used continuously."
"It would be a waste to use it against people from this different world, but it wasn't used even against Shalltear. Instead, a cash item hourglass was used to eliminate the casting time of Super-Tier Magic."
Tang Zheng pondered silently, with limited information, he could only barely deduce the possibilities.
First: The method of storing 'Super-Tier Magic' might be special, requiring the means of a dedicated life-skill Player.
Second: Using a Sealed Magic Crystal to cast Super-Tier Magic also requires casting time, so it's not as good as casting it himself.
He shook his head.
This was just speculation, and there were other possibilities. Perhaps it was simply not intended to be used.
"No matter what, the 'Sealed Magic Crystal' is truly something that can be called a resource."
Tang Zheng admired the crystal for a moment, then reluctantly put it into his Item Box. He hadn't mastered 'Super-Tier Magic', so he couldn't even experiment with it.
Currently.
He only had two things that could barely be considered resources: the newly acquired Sealed Magic Crystal, and the stored Tenth Tier scrolls.
He had started making them on January 15th this year, averaging one per day, and had stored 75 blank Tenth Tier scrolls so far.
It should actually be 80, but he had been in the Hills for 5 days and couldn't secretly make them.
The acquisition of the "Sealed Magic Crystal" could be considered compensation for the loss.
He looked at the Alliance Leader's corpse.
"There have been no signs of resurrection."
"This means there shouldn't be anyone hidden behind the Alliance Leader," Tang Zheng mused slightly.
If so, controlling Zuranon would be much simpler.
"Let's first experiment with the other big gain." Tang Zheng's spirits became excited as he looked at the information on his Attribute Panel.
Tenth Tier Magic - Great Ritual · Final War (Good)!
"Casting this magic actually consumes 80 MP and 1.5 million Experience Points... Hiss..."
"This is too exaggerated!"
Tang Zheng hadn't observed carefully before, but now seeing the magic's consumption, his eyebrows twitched.
He did know about some special magic that not only required MP but also had issues with Experience Points or cooldown time.
Tang Zheng wasn't surprised by the 80 MP consumption alone.
Among Tenth Tier Magic, the MP consumption of some magic wasn't fixed.
For example, World Break had the highest MP consumption, followed by Mercy of Shala Twin Trees, which was second only to World Break.
There was also the type with continuous consumption - Memory Manipulation.
It was also a huge mana consumer!
According to the Undead King's understanding, assuming the memory of one person for 5 days is deleted, the massive MP consumption would exceed the limit of a normal Magic Caster, which is 1300 Mana.
Even for someone like the Undead King, who possesses an exceptionally high amount of MP, searching through the Lizardmen's memories to find the location of the Dwarf race was only a shallow search due to the rapid depletion of Mana.
"1.5 million Experience Points consumed..."
"Experience is already scarce, and the ways to obtain it are limited."
Tang Zheng felt a headache.
Right!
He almost forgot the Class Skill "Mad Meditation" of the [Mad Mage], which can offset the consumption of a single spell cast.
"Tenth Tier Magic—"
"Mad Meditation · 'Great Ritual · Final War (Good)'!" Tang Zheng activated his Class Skill, letting out a low chant.
Buzz—
A massive vortex of holy bubbles appeared above Tang Zheng's head. Intense holy light surged, dyeing the valley, which was illuminated red by the light and heat from the Magma Sea, silver-white.
Rustle~
Rustle~
The sound of flapping wings and rubbing armor came from the white bubble vortex.
The next moment!
Dense Guardian Angels were the first to fly out of the vortex.
Tang Zheng immediately activated "Ninjutsu: Detection" to observe.
128 Second Tier · Guardian Angels (10Lv)
64 Third Tier · Flame Angels (20Lv)
32 Fifth Tier · Purification Power Angels (30Lv)
"Hmm?"
Tang Zheng was startled.
Why were there no Fourth Tier Angels, jumping directly from Third Tier Angels to Fifth Tier Angels?
"Could it be because of 'Super Magic Master', maximizing the magic's effect, so all levels are multiples of 10?"
"Skipping the Fourth Tier Angels between levels 22 and 28."
Tang Zheng didn't have time to think, as more angels with even more astonishing presence flew out of the bubble vortex.
They had three pairs of wings, the uppermost pair looking more like decorations than wings, and they held a standard round sun shield in their hands!
8 Sixth Tier · Shelter Power Angels (40Lv)
Information about this angel simultaneously appeared in Tang Zheng's mind.
Thump—
A tremor emanated from within the swirling bubble.
It was like the heavy pressing of wheels on the ground, a colliding hum, a sound like some kind of machinery.
The next instant!
Sacred holy flames surged from the vortex!
Within the flames, an Angel with an intensely sacred aura, flapping three pairs of wings devoid of any metallic texture, flew out!
This was a strange Angel, somewhat similar in appearance to a "Dominion Authority Angel," headless and legless, with a brighter and larger halo above its head!
Its two arms were placed before its chest, palms facing each other, and at the very center of the two palms was a burning wheel. Inside the wheel was a hollowed-out eye pattern.
The entire wheel, while enveloped in flames, emitted a faint, almost imperceptible bronze glow!
4 Eighth Tier Control Throne Angels (Lv 50)
"As expected, just like the Fourth Tier Angels, they also skipped the Seventh Tier (Lv 43-49) Dominion Authority Angel." Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes.
He felt a powerful aura emerge!
The white sacred flames gushing from the vortex became even denser!
Swish!
Two Angels, almost identical to the "Control Throne Angels," flew out of the vortex one after another. Both Angels were enveloped in a sacred white flame-like ethereal energy.
An invisible pressure surged forth, surpassing all the previous Angels!
Tang Zheng noticed that although the two Throne Angels looked the same, the burning wheels in their hands were different; they had a smaller wheel nested inside!
2 Ninth Tier Judgment Throne Angels (Lv 60)
Rumble—
The vortex vibrated violently.
A massive figure, nearly six meters tall, far exceeding all other Angels in size, squeezed out of the vortex, as if the swirling bubble could not contain this power!
