Overlord: Welcome the Birth of the King

4 years before the new era.

Less than five years before the "Great Tomb of Nazarick" descends.

Tang Zheng sat by the roadside, gnawing on a piece of black rye hard bread, his ey...

Chapter 427 Ability, [Black Sacred Scripture] Deployed

Tang Zheng's eyes glowed with blue magic. He used his "Clairvoyance" to detect magic. After seeing An Li successfully block the attack of a root of the magic tree, he was certain in his heart.

That’s right!

The huge black creature that is hundreds of meters long and looks like a python is the root of the magic tree, or to be more precise, it is only a part of it.

Through the perspective of the sky above.

Tang Zheng could observe more clearly that the root was only a part of the front end, and its actual length, according to the information he remembered, should be more than 300 meters long.

And the magic tree has six such roots!

This is a very exaggerated monster. The Silian Theocracy calls it the "Dragon King of Destruction", which is not an exaggeration at all for people from another world.

"A mere section of the demonic tree's roots, with Enri's explosive power resisting them, allowed the Blue Rose adventurers and their expeditionary force to evacuate safely."

Tang Zheng sang again in a low voice: "Clairvoyance"

The perspective changes!

The location we are viewing this time is the border area between the Empire and the Kingdom on the Katz Plain.

At a glance, the two countries were entangled in a chaotic fight, and the air was filled with wisps of haze-like light yellow powder.

Hot blood kept spilling onto the ground!

Beneath the soft dark brown soil, there spreads a dense network of roots like hair, which quickly absorbs the blood that falls to the ground.

Even from beneath the bodies of the soldiers from both countries that fell to the ground, roots like mycelium emerged and connected to the bodies.

However!

This abnormal situation was ignored by both the Kingdom and Empire troops. Many soldiers had bloodshot eyes and were fighting each other.

The entire battlefield turned into a meat grinder where the fight never ends!

"It's the negative state of 'Rage'." Tang Zheng stared at the scene conveyed by the magic, his face darkening.

"It's so far away from the depths of the Tob Forest, yet it can still affect here."

"This doesn't look like a makeshift arrangement!"

Based on the information passed back by Enri and his own analysis, the Demonic Tree currently displayed three kinds of special abilities:

① Releases pollen with negative effects of "Charm" and "Rage".

② Spread parasitic seeds over a large area.

③ Depending on the strength of the host that the seed parasitizes, three types of species can be born: terrifying tree people, ordinary tree people, and red flowers.

This reminded Tang Zheng of the "Death Knight". Similarly, the living people who were killed could be transformed into servant zombies or ordinary dead zombies.

According to this information,

He speculated that the number of terrifying tree people that the magic tree could transform into should be limited.

in addition.

As the "mother", the magic tree can use the roots of its offspring to absorb the energy of the dead bodies of living things from a long distance.

"That terrifying tree man doesn't have such wisdom." Tang Zheng recalled the terrifying tree man's demon-like behavior and frowned slightly:

"Is it that tree elf who did this?"

Watching the images continuously transmitted by the "Clairvoyance".

In a situation of widespread chaos.

Only a few figures remained unaffected. On the Kingdom side, only Gazef and Renas were present, while on the Empire side, only the "Four Knights" remained.

A few people who remain awake at this moment.

It is preventing soldiers from all sides from attacking each other in a fratricidal manner.

Faced with the soldiers who were in a "frenzy", verbal reminders were no longer effective and they had no choice but to resort to violent means.

Tang Zheng was silent for a moment, and activated his skill: "Information"

"Sir!" The soft and respectful response of the lizardman Kuruxue sounded in his mind.

——At the same time!

Slien Theocracy.

The gods are all in a temple.

More than ten figures were reflected on the clean marble floor.

Each figure exudes a powerful aura, and the equipment on their bodies is different. They are not the plain type, but rather have a rather entertaining feel, but there is an inexplicable sense of coordination between the whole.

Everyone was either calm, indifferent, or silent, standing quietly in place.

Any one of them, if placed in the outside world, can easily compete with a team of "Steel-level" adventurers.

It is also the most secretive and powerful force in the Theocracy - the [Dark Scripture].

suddenly.

A girl wearing a high school uniform, similar to a JK outfit, raised her slender fingers and pushed the half-frame glasses on her nose. Her face suddenly changed seriously: "The magic tree has resurrected."

As soon as these words were spoken!

The air was briefly still.

Everyone present had different expressions, and they all looked at the only black-haired young man sitting on the ground in the center.

The other party was wearing a light armor made of leather and metal, in black, white and blue colors, and was holding a very worn spear.

"As expected of you, 'Astrology Thousand Miles Away'."

"Although it's a few years earlier than originally predicted, being able to predict the resurrection time to be within this period means the wait wasn't in vain."

The young man looked up, his long black hair flowing down on both sides of his shoulders, anticipation flashing in his eyes as he glanced at the two figures in the crowd.

"Four Elements", "Infinite Magic Power"!

As if he noticed the captain's gaze.

"Infinite Magic" This disheveled female magician, wearing a large black hat, tilted her head lazily.

His whole body exudes an air of decadence and laziness.

"Infinite Magic Power," Captain Shenren said lightly.

Considering what will happen next, it would be most appropriate for the opponent to consume the magic power.

"Yes~"

[Infinite Magic] The sky-blue, slightly curly hair trembled, and a trace of distress appeared in the eyes under the drooping eyelids. A weak voice uttered: "Teleport"

Swish!

"Infinite Magic" disappeared on the spot.

The air returned to calm and everyone waited quietly.

"Astrology Thousand Miles" placed one arm on his chest, and the other hand hung naturally, holding a magic prop called a pink "bag".

Her peculiar and slightly embarrassing outfit was quite unusual for the relatively traditional environment of the Church.

But there is no other way.

This outfit is one of the legacies left by the great "Six Gods" and they are all powerful magic props.

"The revival of the demon tree caused too much noise."

"The Adventurer's Guild from the Kingdom has already intervened. It's probably impossible to handle this quietly."

Astrology Thousand Miles had also been keeping an eye on the situation in the Tob Forest. Thinking of the scene he had just witnessed with the help of magic, a serious look flashed across his eyes, and he thought to himself:

"That girl must be Enri, the one with 'free will'. How incredible... No wonder she was able to destroy the legendary undead 'Soul Eater'."

"However, the opponent clearly hasn't displayed such a strong power before... Is it a special explosive method?"

The time spent thinking and analyzing intelligence.

A wave of magical power emerged.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the location where the magic fluctuation appeared.

The "Infinite Magic Power" that had just left returned, and at the same time, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

This is an extremely old woman with a face full of wrinkles, making it difficult to guess her exact age.

The most eye-catching.

The old woman was wearing a golden and yellow long dress with a very strange style, according to the information passed down by the gods.

This is a kind of clothing called "cheongsam".

Most of them are worn by women in their twenties or thirties. It is not suitable for older people to wear such clothes.

There is a feeling of "debauchery".

This thought appeared in the minds of several members present, but was suppressed in an instant.

Everyone knows that this is not an ordinary piece of clothing, but a real artifact left by the "Six Great Gods".

"Lord Kerry."

The captain of the divine man who had been sitting on the ground had stood up, holding the worn spear in one hand, and spoke with a hint of respect in his tone.

"Excuse me for waiting."

Kairui narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling, and nodded to everyone present: "From now on, I will be escorted by you all."

Swish!

The atmosphere became solemn.

"Let's go!" Captain Shenren said.

——The other side.

The outskirts of the Kaz Plains battlefield.

A figure wrapped in straw was approaching the perimeter of the battlefield where the Kingdom and the Empire were clashing, and a white scaly tail emerged from the straw behind it.

This figure is obviously not human!

The lizardman Kuruxue moved his legs and heard the fierce shouts of humans from afar. The smell of blood in the air became stronger as he got closer to the battlefield.

unconsciously.

The lizardman Kuruxue recalled the disaster that happened to his tribe.

Countless lizardman corpses dyed the lake red, and only a pure white figure stood on the battlefield, as if isolated from the scarlet world.

“Huh~”

The lizardman Kuruxue exhaled, cleared the messy memories from his mind, and regained his senses.

She returned with Enri and made a special trip to the wetlands to visit the surviving lizardmen from afar.

Nowadays, everyone lives a good life.

That's enough!

In the memories of her tribesmen, she was a dead lizardman after all, so it was best if she did not appear in front of everyone.

Click! Ta!

The lizardman Kuruxue stepped on a hard object and lowered his head to find that it was a broken arm armor covered with blood-stained marks.

"Whether it's lizardmen or humans... there will always be conflict."

A certain confusion and doubt flickered in the clear red eyes of the lizardman Kuruxue. He raised his head again and continued to approach the battlefield, which was becoming increasingly clear.

"Humans clearly have no shortage of food, so why do they still kill each other?"

This is what she currently cannot understand.

The Lizardmen used to be hostile to each other, mainly because of food, but now the Lizardmen population has decreased and food has become more abundant.

The five major lizardman tribes were even merged into one.

The lizardman Kuruxue thought of the hilly area again. Now that all races are under the rule of Lord Tang, everyone can live together in peace.

"Is it... an external threat?"

The lizardman Kuruxue whispered to herself, as if she had discovered some dangerous answer.

despair!

Stop.

The battlefield is right in front of us, and the roars of humans fighting can be heard everywhere in front of us.

The light yellow powder floating in the air caused the lizardman Kuruxue's emotions to fluctuate a bit, but as he had been prepared for this, the impact was not obvious.

Reduce your breathing rate.

The lizardman Kuruxue raised his hands to the sky, his entire body emitting a shimmering pale blue light: "4th-tier magic - Cloud Operation!"

The next moment.

The originally clear sky turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large dark cloud began to gather above the battlefield.

Huh~Huh~

Beep beep!

Gusts of wind accompanied by drizzling rain poured down.

The lizardman Kuruxue turned around and left again. His back, wrapped in straw, gradually disappeared in the rain.

The "cloud operation" will not last too long, but it will have no problem clearing the pollen floating in the air within the range.

On the battlefield.

Bang! Bang!

Renas was as cold as frost. She clapped her hands hard, knocking out the soldier who rushed in front of her.

"What the hell is going on!"

All the soldiers lost their minds and even attacked their own people.

At first, Renas thought it was the work of the Empire, but she found that the Empire was also in chaos.

This obviously involves the intervention of an "unknown" third party!

"Ms. Lenas!"

Gazef suddenly shouted from a distance.

The other side was also dealing with the confused soldiers, knocking them out one by one. Only in this way could they prevent suicide and massacre.

whoosh!

An imperceptible sound of breaking through the air came from the blind spot of vision.

Renas's expression changed instantly. She stepped forward with her left foot, tilted her head back, and bent her back like a drawn bow.

The figure of the rotten wolf appeared silently in front of Lenas, and the fierce kick passed by the place where her head was just now.

The attack missed!

"Continuous Kicks"

The rotten wolf twisted its body in mid-air, a ferocious and bloodthirsty look on its face. It turned around and slashed down heavily with its left leg from top to bottom: "Die! You are a traitor!"

"snort!"

Lenas snorted coldly and used the black spear in her hand to support the ground: "Speed up the water!"

The speed of the body suddenly increased!

After dodging this series of attacks, he thrust out his spear with his backhand and stabbed fiercely at the rotten wolf.

"Fortress!" Rotten Wolf used two short-bladed weapons, crossed in front of him.

when!

A crisp explosion sounded.

Rotten Wolf felt the power coming from the tip of the gun, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He had already judged that Lenas's strength was inferior to his.

With a "click".

The Rotten Wolf quickly turned his head, and the dagger in his hand broke. The bloody blade flew past his ear, causing the corner of his eye to twitch.

The soldiers' shouts and cries of killing came from all directions.

While dodging the chaotic attacks of the surrounding soldiers, Renas kept her eyes on the fast-moving rotten wolf not far away, and the one on the other side that was staring intently.

Tick!

Tick!

"It's raining?" Lenas' eyes lit up as she looked at the raindrops rolling down the spear.

She had already realized that the reason why everyone fell into a negative state of "violent" was because of some powdery substance in the air.

Once it rains, it clears the air of these substances.

The sudden rain made all the sober people present feel relieved. The thought of "I can finally let go" arose in the minds of several people!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rot Wolf and Fudo moved simultaneously, charging towards Lenas from both sides, while Gazef on the other side was targeted by the other two "Four Horsemen".
