Chapter 500: Arrogance Immersed in Glory - "Dark Gap Alley"
Bang! Bang!
The Glory Gladiator lifted his feet heavily, then sank back into the quicksand-like yellow sand, his movements clearly restricted.
Although the "Echo of the Storm" skill interrupts the movement-impeding effect of "Sand Domain", the negative status effects such as imprisonment and silence caused by magic still exist.
Seeing this scene.
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes: "Is the resistance a bit weak?"
Quickly scanning the skill information that appeared on the attribute panel, "Storm Echo" is a skill that can increase one's speed and resistance.
However, it cannot grant the Glorious Gladiator complete resistance.
Since that's the case!
"Tenth-tier magic: Time Stop!"
Tang Zheng raised his hand, aimed at the Glory Gladiator in front of him, and chanted softly.
A magical phantom, resembling a clock, appeared.
The Glory Gladiator froze instantly, his wide eyes and roaring mouth stopping abruptly, turning him into a statue.
"Time Stop" is a special type of magic, and even players need to prepare corresponding time countermeasures to resist it.
The glorious gladiator before us clearly does not possess this quality!
"There's only one simple way to breach the 'Glory Arena'!"
Tang Zheng's gaze swept past the Glory Gladiator and landed on Sparta, the black-haired girl behind him who was tightly gripping a long whip.
"Killing you is enough!"
"—7th Rank Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning!"
Boom!
A blinding blue bolt of lightning erupted from Tang Zheng's arms, transforming into two streaks of dragon-shaped lightning that surged toward the black-haired girl, Sparta.
Pupil constriction!
Faced with terrifying lightning magic, it was too late to dodge; it was clearly an area-of-effect attack.
"You lowly, inferior creature!"
The black-haired girl, Sparta, did not dodge either. As a servant of the supreme and great god-kings, how could she possibly avoid the attack of a mere inferior creature?
"Ahhh!"
Jiao's angry and furious roar echoed throughout the arena.
The black-haired girl, Sparta, stood still, fiercely wielding her whip, showing no intention of retreating or dodging.
Snap!
The black whip shadow, like a snake, tore through the air and collided with the dazzling blue lightning. The magical attack of "Chain Thunder Dragon" was actually partially dispersed.
However!
The remaining terrifying lightning also enveloped the black-haired girl, Sparta, at the same time.
BOOM!
With a loud explosion, the black-haired girl, Sparta, was instantly electrocuted and vanished into thin air.
The raging arcs of electricity spread outwards, crackling and popping in the surrounding area.
"The magical item is quite good; it's at least at the 'legacy' level."
Tang Zheng withdrew his hand and chuckled softly, "It's a pity that hiding might have caused some trouble. I didn't expect you to step forward willingly."
"The Arena of Glory has been breached!"
The twelve districts of the "Outer City" are each managed by a guardian, which is not just a simple position.
Rather, it concerns the normal operation of the "outer city"!
Simply put
Defeating the person in charge of the area is equivalent to conquering an entire region.
Thump—thump—
The next moment, a dull thud echoed within the "Glory Arena".
Behind Tang Zheng and the others, the heavy stone door that had been closed slowly reopened, emitting an ancient and muffled thud.
"Intruders!"
"Don't even think about escaping, this is a glorious gladiatorial battle!"
The time-stopping magic on the Glory Gladiator dissipated, and as if anticipating something, it angrily charged towards Tang Zheng.
"Die here, all of you!"
The death of the black-haired girl Sparta did not affect the normal attack behavior of the monsters in the arena.
instead.
Both the Glorious Gladiators and the 10 Dragonbloods have become even more ferocious, displaying an angry stance as if they want to avenge their leader.
"Ha, I have no interest in continuing this boring battle."
Tang Zheng glanced in the direction of the Glory Gladiators, then raised his hand and waved again: "Time Stop!"
Buzz~
The figure of the Glory Gladiator, charging forward, stopped again, turning into a motionless statue.
Tang Zheng turned around calmly, his black and gold magic robes fluttering, and reminded the two figures fighting in the distance, "Time to move on to the next area."
"Heavy blow!"
"Double Slash!"
After being driven back by Captain Zesshi and Captain Shenren, the Dragon Bloodline, who was surrounding them, retreated quickly with a look of astonishment, heading back towards Tang Zheng's direction.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"What exactly happened? Is it over so quickly?" Zesshi Zetsumei looked like he hadn't had enough fun at all, and was even more surprised.
Although the dragon bloodline level is lower than theirs, each one is extremely troublesome, not to mention that one person has to deal with 5 of them, which is quite overwhelming.
Meanwhile, the Glory Gladiator that Tang Zheng was facing also appeared to be the type with thick skin and tough flesh.
Neither Jue Si nor Jue Ming expected that the battle would be resolved in the blink of an eye.
"The death of the regional leader means the region has been breached, and there is no need to continue fighting these monsters."
Tang Zheng shrugged, surprisingly calm:
"There are still eleven areas below, so let's save our energy."
"Roar, roar, roar."
Several dragon bloodlines rushed over from the left rear, trying to block Tang Zheng and his group.
"Sand Domain - All".
boom!
A massive magic circle appeared beneath the feet of these dragon-blooded beings, spewing forth yellow quicksand to restrain the monsters.
"What is that?"
Jue Shi Jue Ming curled his lip and retreated in an orderly manner, saying, "The [Floating City] doesn't seem to be anything special."
The captain nodded slightly in agreement.
"The gist is that it refers to the weights on the scales of death."
"It's best not to have such thoughts, otherwise... you might die next time."
Tang Zheng spoke up, reminding them, "It's not that the 'Glory Arena' is weak, but rather that the person in charge is weak."
According to the intelligence he had gathered.
Of the 30 NPCs currently in the [Floating City], aside from the three level 100 guardians and the four "stewards" Imralis, who are the highest level, the rest...
All the remaining NPCs have single-digit levels.
Take "Glory Arena" as an example.
This region has the means to establish "themes of gladiatorial combat," such as blunt weapon gladiatorial combat, defensive gladiatorial combat, magical gladiatorial combat, and so on.
The area could even be used for gladiatorial combat without "flight restrictions".
If the person in charge is a level 100 player or NPC, they can play it in all sorts of ways, with 10 Dragonbloods and a super-powerful level 85 monster assisting them.
With the added buff of setting up gladiator rules, it's enough to easily fight against opponents of the same level, and can even hold off two level 100 players.
Unfortunately, the black-haired girl Sparta was too weak to unleash the power of the "Glory Arena".
If you are weak, you should hide!
The most advantageous strategy is to let the Glory Gladiators, these monsters, wear down the invaders' strength and buy them time.
"Arrogance that dwells on past glories will sooner or later be torn apart by the ruthless reality."
Tang Zheng shook his head, not even bothering to look back, and quickly left the "Glory Arena" with Jue Si Jue Ming and the other two.
The only thing that interested him was the magical artifact in the hands of the black-haired girl, Sparta, but there was no need to take it now.
tread!
The moment I stepped out of the heavy stone gate.
The enormous labyrinth, shrouded in a thick, gray fog, reappeared in view.
Following the previous search method.
Tang Zheng continued to use the flow of negative energy and the vibrations generated when low-level undead moved to find the next area building.
This time it just took longer, and the people in charge of the "outer city" seemed to have realized Tang Zheng's methods.
A large number of low-level undead were quickly eliminated, but he was prepared.
"The Undying Army"
"The Undying Army"
"…………"
The captain of the divine being excitedly tore the magic scrolls to shreds.
Magic scrolls are extremely precious among human nations. Even with the technology of the Holy Kingdom, they can only produce magic scrolls of the fourth rank.
To be able to use these precious magic scrolls so freely is something I never even dreamed of before!
It took a full hour.
As the gray mist dissipated, a building resembling an abandoned ore pit appeared before the three of them.
Outside the crudely excavated pit, there are rows of broken sacred reliefs, with the faces of angels smashed and holy prayers altered into evil symbols, emitting a faint, eerie glow.
It was filled with an ancient, dilapidated, and blasphemous atmosphere of terror!
"This place is..."
Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow. The building's shape matched the information in his mind, and he quickly arrived at his answer:
"One of the twelve district buildings, 'Dark Gap Alley'."
The Floating City is an urban outpost, so all the building areas in the outer city can be understood as representative locations within the city.
"Black Gap Alley" can also be understood as "black market".
The special ability of this area is not used in combat, but rather in support buildings.
According to information provided by Gros Hornfury, the area possesses special abilities to handle and preserve corpses, and originally also had the ability of a "coin box".
The so-called "coin exchange box".
These are items that can convert resources into in-game currency, but they are an overlooked type in "YGGDRASIL".
After all, there are so many ways to get game coins in the game, but in this other world, it becomes the only way.
The currency exchange capabilities of "Dark Gap Alley" are not as good as those of a real "currency exchange box," just like the "black market," which will deduct a portion.
We arrived at the entrance to the cave.
"Take out that scroll."
Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Jue Si Jue Ming beside him, "Release him here."
"Use it now?"
Upon hearing this, Zesshi Zesshi felt a slight pang of heartache and took out a scroll radiating a holy light from his waist:
"...It feels like such a waste to use a scroll of this caliber."
As we were talking!
He grabbed the scroll with both hands and tore it open.
Buzz—
A divine light burst forth from the scroll, transforming into pure energy that dispersed and converged into a vortex of sacred energy at the cave entrance.
"Tenth-Rank Magic - Final War (Good)"
An astonishing divine energy continues to oscillate!
Even the spellcaster, Zesshi Zesshi, felt a sense of horror, "What kind of magic is this?"
Leaving aside the rarity of a 10th-tier magic scroll, the terrifying magical energy fluctuations it exudes are completely different from ordinary 10th-tier magic.
"You'll see when you see it."
Tang Zheng didn't offer much explanation, but simply stared quietly ahead.
The reason this magic scroll was given to Zesshi Zesshi was that, besides the fact that the other party possessed faith-based magic and could use the scroll, it was also because...
"Final War (Good)" can only be used three times a day, and is used by Zesshi Zesshi. Tang Zheng's three usage opportunities will not be used up.
Buzz—
The sacred energy vortex has completely stabilized.
One by one, level 10 angels burst out of the holy vortex, because the magical vortex was directly aimed at the "Dark Gap Alley".
These angels that flew out rushed into the cave all at once.
In an instant!
Like the screeching cries of bats, the sound echoed throughout the cave, reverberating and overlapping between the rock walls.
Tang Zheng and his two companions could even see scarlet eyes suddenly appearing inside the dark cave.
They were densely packed together, numbering at least a hundred.
"Shadow Thief Bat" 10~30 LV:
It can be mass-produced by consuming corpses, and can emit a piercing noise and hide in the darkness.
The power of noise can be stacked, producing sound waves and dark magic damage!
If you are unaware of this information and rashly enter the "Dark Gap Alley," you will be met with a noisy attack launched by a large number of Shadow Bats.
Due to the combined effects, even level 100 players will suffer some damage.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A large number of level 10 angels who had just rushed out were quickly wiped out.
The angels created by "Final War (Good)" are neutral monsters, and now that they are under attack, they will naturally draw "hatred" to them.
Swish! Swish!
After all the level 10 angels were destroyed, the holy energy vortex trembled again, and 32 level 20 angels rushed out and flew back into the cave.
Another burst of intense noise and roar!
Following closely behind.
Level 30 angels, level 40 angels, level 50 angels, level 60 angels, and level 70 angels appeared one after another, continuously flying into the "Dark Gap Alley".
Under this series of attacks from the holy angels, the dense Shadow Bats with dark attributes were immediately severely damaged.
"Were they not completely eliminated?"
Tang Zheng sensed the still-piercing noise inside the cave, frowned, and spoke again to Jue Si Jue Ming beside him: "Continue using it!"
"ha?"
"We've already wiped out a large portion, haven't we?" Zesshi Zetsumei clearly looked pained; this was a level 10 magic scroll. He suggested in a low voice:
"Let's just go in and deal with the rest of the monsters."
Captain Shenren glanced at Zesshi Zetsumei, his cheek twitching slightly. He could completely understand Zesshi Zetsumei's feelings at that moment.
"I hope you two understand." Tang Zheng turned around and looked at the two of them seriously, and said earnestly, "No matter how valuable the magic scroll is, it is not as important as your two lives."
"It is a disposable item. No matter how precious it is, its 'precious' value can only be shown when it is used."
"Lord Crown." The captain of the Divine Man's throat moved slightly.
"……clear!"
Jue Shi Jue Ming shrugged and took out the magic scroll again, tearing it open.
