Chapter 439: Evileye: True Ancestor's New Target
In an instant!
Guided by the ritual, a gray haze of negative energy gradually formed a swirling spiral column from above Evileye's head.
Around Evileye, the negative energy continued to condense, transforming from the original gray to a deeper black.
Hiss—hiss—
The air was corroded by negative energy, forming a special vacuum-like environment. The terrible air pressure spread outward with this area as the center.
In such an environment, the living will suffocate to death even if they are not affected by negative energy, but the undead do not need air!
“…Hmm~”
Evileye unconsciously let out a soft moan. Although her vision was completely dark, the environment created by the astonishing negative energy was even more terrifying.
However.
She felt as if she was back to when she was a princess, soaking in the warm water prepared by the maids.
The power is increasing!
Is this the way to increase strength that Lord Dragon King mentioned?
"Fortunately..."
"Lord Dragon King."
Under the compressed concentration of negative energy, Evileye only felt an astonishing force constantly being forced into her body, and her mind gradually became blank.
——In the sky.
Tang Zheng was looking at the figure at the center of the ceremony below, carefully observing the changes in the energy aura with the help of ninjutsu.
Evileye has a total of 5 jobs, with a total level of around 50. The job composition is:
[Vampire Princess], [True Ancestor]
[Witcher], [Magician], [Elemental Mage (Earth)]
Tang Zheng was not sure about the specific levels of each profession, but "Vampire" was a warrior-type race and did not offer spellcasting professions.
Evileye's highest spellcasting level is 5th-tier magic (29~35Lv), so it can be roughly deduced.
Among these five professions, there are two mid-level professions, [True Ancestor] and [Elemental Mage (Earth)], so theoretically the highest level should be 65Lv.
"According to the experience points I needed to level up before, the experience points needed for level 50 have reached around several hundred thousand."
Tang Zheng pondered silently: "We can't calculate it completely according to this value."
"I have the innate ability of a 'player' that can convert energy into experience points, but that doesn't mean people from another world can do the same."
For people from another world.
Energy is energy, and it is different from "experience points".
"We can only observe further." Tang Zheng couldn't be completely sure, so he could only stare at Evileye below.
The experience provided by low-level undead is not high.
It was around single digits, and considering the consumption, Tang Zheng was not worried about too much energy that would explode Evileye.
Time passes by little by little!
Tang Zheng narrowed his pupils and quickly noticed the difference in the way he gained experience points.
“There is a real problem of conversion.”
"The holy energy dissipated by the neutral angels can be directly converted into experience points for me, but Evileye is gradually absorbing... and adapting to the negative energy."
Tang Zheng could clearly observe that the growth rate of Evileye's aura was not fast, and the same was true for the progress of absorbing negative energy.
It takes longer than expected!
A full three hours passed.
The huge negative energy that permeated the royal capital almost disappeared, and the gloomy royal city began to gradually brighten. Only in the most central area, there was still relatively strong negative energy.
"--ah!!"
suddenly.
A high-pitched roar like a wild beast came from the deepest part, and the remaining negative energy completely stopped being absorbed at this moment.
"What's going on?" Tang Zheng's eyes fixed, and he felt a sudden increase in the breath reaction.
Bang!
A huge muffled sound.
A black figure broke away from the center of the magic ritual. This rough act of breaking free completely stopped the ritual.
The blue magic that enveloped the entire royal city suddenly dimmed.
——whoosh!
The black shadow rushed out in the negative energy and was completely revealed in Tang Zheng's sight.
Evileye's appearance changed completely. Her shoulder-length golden hair dragged on the ground. Some of it, unaffected by gravity, broke free from the ground and fluttered in the air.
"roar!"
Evileye's petite figure seemed to have grown a little. The nails on her pale fingers and toes became more than ten centimeters long, and her fangs were exposed in her mouth.
Raise your head!
The normal human face did not change much, but gave people a ferocious and beast-like feeling, with red eyes and even the ears becoming sharper.
Like this...
"Vampire!" The first time Tang Zheng saw Evileye's appearance at this moment, the image of Shalltear appeared in his mind.
That’s right!
Evileye's appearance at this moment was somewhat similar to the one Shalltear had shown when she lost her mind and transformed into the "Proto-Vampire".
No... there's still some gap.
After Shalltear transformed into a "True Ancestor", her appearance became even more ferocious, especially her mouth, which resembled that of a lamprey.
Evileye's overall appearance hasn't changed much.
"How could this happen?!"
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Ivel's appearance actually changed?"
In "YGGDRASIL", vampires do not look like the handsome men and beautiful women in conventional Western movies, but are very ugly.
Shalltear is beautiful in appearance, but the illustrations and three-dimensionalization of the guild members who are simply responsible for the design are done well.
But Evileye is different, she is originally human!
"It's the [True Ancestor] profession!"
This racial profession did not originally exist in the other world, and the true ancestor of vampires could not be born naturally.
The fact that Evileye possesses this profession is entirely an accidental product of the "Original Magic" of the Dragon King of Kuchikan and her own "innate ability".
"Properties panel."
Tang Zheng's mind flashed, and he called up the panel to observe, but found that there was no prompt:
"It's indeed not a regular profession, but the influence of a racial profession!"
"It seems that Evileye's [True Ancestor] class level wasn't very high before, and now it's rapidly improving, which is why she's awakened something like a racial talent."
boom!
boom!
There were bursts of roars coming from below.
Tang Zheng was watching Evileye's wanton attacks and the scene of the surrounding buildings, and his heart was further confirmed.
Before this, Evileye had not shown such strong close combat capabilities, and this form could obviously increase her power in close combat.
"roar!"
After destroying a stone pillar, Evileye raised her head, her red eyes lost in thought, and noticed Tang Zheng floating in the air, and roared loudly.
Bang!
Evileye stepped on the ground with both feet and quickly rushed towards Tang Zheng's position. Behind him, wings similar to bats and formed by negative energy appeared.
Hiss——La——
The sharp nails on both hands tore through the air and rushed towards Tang Zheng in a daze.
"Has he completely lost his mind in this state, unable to even distinguish the basic difference in strength?"
Tang Zheng frowned. "Even if it can increase close combat capabilities, for someone like Evileye, chanting magic doesn't only not improve their strength, but actually has a negative effect."
Slight sway of the lower body.
"Beat Enhancement"
Boom!
The thick dragon's tail transformed into a black afterimage, instantly shattering the air. With such terrifying force, it knocked Evileye, who had just taken off into the air, back to the ground.
There was a loud "bang" sound!
Evileye landed on the ground, creating a deep crater. She staggered to her feet, then collapsed again, unconscious.
At dusk.
There was only a glimmer of afterglow left from the dim sun in the west.
Evileye was lying beside a campfire when she sat up in a daze. The first thing she noticed was the huge red dragon king standing on the other side.
"Lord Dragon King."
A look of surprise crossed Evileye's face, her eyes filled with awe, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
"That's a 7th-tier scroll... Lord Dragon King, you've expended such a vast fortune just to increase the power of... a weak... undead... like me."
"You don't have to do this..."
Evileye spoke excitedly and incoherently.
She really felt sorry for the scrolls that were consumed. Each 7th-level scroll contained demon-level power.
It's such a waste to use it on an undead being like her who is hated and humble by the living!
Evileye actually tried to stand up after saying this, but suddenly felt a surge of weakness from within, and was unable to get up for a moment.
"You're still injured."
Tang Zheng spoke calmly, then shook his head: "I said before, you are my companion, don't use words like 'waste'."
companion?
Evileye's eyes were red and her throat was trembling. She had not really considered herself a companion of the Dragon King.
Or rather.
Evileye didn't believe that the Dragon King really treated her as a companion.
And now... Lord Dragon King...
"Don't feel pressured about the scroll. It's indeed precious to ordinary people, but it's nothing to my companion."
Tang Zheng opened his dragon mouth and uttered a majestic yet friendly voice: "These scrolls were all made by him."
"If you want to thank him, you can thank him in person when you are able to join the organization later."
Evileye was stunned.
The Dragon King's companion?
organize?
After receiving such a large amount of information at once, Evileye's doubts finally dissipated a little.
Just beginning.
She guessed that the source of the seventh-level scroll was a legacy or treasure obtained by Lord Dragon King, but when she took out hundreds of magic scrolls of the same type.
It was also used to enhance her strength, and it was obviously specially prepared.
"No wonder... to be able to create a scroll of national treasure level, the Dragon King's companion must be very powerful."
Evileye finally understood the Dragon King's other meaning when he said she was "weak."
Lord Dragon King must have hoped that she could join that organization, but because of her weak strength, this situation has arisen.
"Lord Dragon King!"
Evileye got up from the ground, excited and inspired. "I won't let you down!"
In the confusion of life, she seemed to have found her goal again:
The first one is to find the true dragon king who destroyed the country!
The second one is to join Lord Dragon King’s organization!
"Come on."
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then gave a gentle smile and began apologetically: "I'm sorry, your injuries were caused by me."
"Magic that has healing effects on the living cannot be used on the undead. I don't have any healing magic related to negative energy."
Looking at Evileye's bewildered expression.
Tang Zheng recounted in detail what had happened before.
"According to the results of Ninjutsu: Detection, Evileye's current level has reached approximately Lv. 57."
Tang Zheng calculated in his mind: "It has increased by 5-6 levels. The effect is better than expected."
"ah!"
Evileye's eyes changed, and she quickly bent down and bowed to Tang Zheng, like a child who had made a mistake: "I'm sorry, Lord Dragon King!"
"I've already told you, don't be so nervous. If anyone really needs to apologize, it should be me. After all, it was me who caused it."
Tang Zheng spoke again helplessly. Seeing Evileye wanted to explain, he quickly changed the subject and asked:
"Can you tell me about your current situation?"
"Yes, yes."
Even though Evileye was a little weak, she still showed a relatively agile movement. After adjusting her body, she said in a surprised voice:
"My strength has increased a lot, and not just my strength...all aspects of my physical fitness seem to have improved."
"I don't think the Devil Leader can defeat Gagaran with strength alone... Ah, Lord Dragon King, Gagaran is the hammer-wielding companion in my adventurer group."
Evileye cast several more spells, conducting experiments.
soon.
Tang Zheng got the desired result from the information provided by the other party.
Evileye's main upgrade was her racial level, while the normal job level and the increase in magic power did not show any noticeable changes.
"Negative energy is absorbed by racial professions first."
"Compared to the vampire class, the other magic caster classes are indeed less compatible with negative energy."
Tang Zheng's heart moved slightly: "The two professions [Vampire Princess] and [True Ancestor] should not have been fully upgraded to the maximum level yet."
"If all levels are reached, can the absorbed negative energy increase the class level?"
Then.
Tang Zheng tried to let Ivel trigger the "True Ancestor Form", but was unable to use it. This made him further confirm the other party's race and profession, and guessed that it had not yet reached the maximum level.
The "True Ancestor Form" that was triggered not long ago was obviously a special reaction caused by the accumulation of negative energy.
In the next few days.
Tang Zheng and Evileye still stayed in the "Imberia Kingdom" and continued their strength-enhancing experiments.
——Under the Fire Moon.
September 11th.
Ten full days passed.
Evileye's two races have reached the maximum level, but their strength has completely stopped at level 60 and cannot be improved any further.
Tang Zheng still had more than 300 copies of the "Immortal Army" scroll stored in his hands.
Boom!
Dragon Thunder
A blue bolt of lightning struck the distant stone wall, shattering it into powder on the spot.
Tang Zheng was looking at Evileye who was constantly experimenting with magic in the distance, and shook his head with a wry smile. He probably understood the other person's mood at the moment.
Theoretically, there is no upper limit for the undead, and they cannot improve their strength. Ultimately, the problem lies in their profession.
