Chapter 509: You lost because you achieved your goal! The End?
The three sacred energy vortexes trembled!
A full twenty-four level 40 angels burst out of the vortex and charged toward Leoric Shock, their intense divine light enveloping the area.
"Too weak! Too weak!"
Leoric Zhen laughed maniacally, even though one of his hands was immobilized because he was gripping Zetsu Zetsumei, his other arm still swung around in a blur:
"Body weapon!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, Leoric Shock's entire body transformed into a terrifying weapon. Each attack—headbutt, shoulder ram, leg sweep—blasted angels into holy specks of light that vanished.
Seeing this scene.
Tang Zheng felt a chill run down his spine. With such close combat skills, it was no wonder that Gros Horned Fury explicitly admitted that he was inferior to his opponent in terms of strength.
but!
Leoric Shock's personality is indeed problematic, and as predicted, he did indeed appear alone.
"The plan was a success!"
This invasion of the [Floating City] actually has only two objectives.
① Obtain the "Power Armor" from the Silver Olive.
② Summon Leoric Shock and fight him.
No matter how detailed the intelligence provided by Gros Horned Fury was, it was still very different from the actual battle. Tang Zheng needed to personally assess Leoric Zhen's true combat strength.
But before that!
We need to kill Jue Shi Jue Ming first, otherwise, if Jue Shi Jue Ming falls into the hands of [Floating City], the consequences will be unimaginable.
The next plan will also be impossible to implement!
"Let me tear your body to shreds!"
Leoric Zhen laughed loudly, breaking through the barrier formed by numerous angels, and charged in front of Tang Zheng, grinning maliciously as he attacked:
"Dare to plot against the [Floating City]? Prepare to face eternal pain and despair."
"Exploding Air Palm"
Bang!
No need to get close.
Leoric Shock punched into the air, and an explosive blast of air erupted from the surface of his fist, creating a wide-ranging impact.
All the angels around him were sent flying, and Tang Zheng was completely exposed to the enemy's sight.
"Time stop!"
Tang Zheng quickly chanted and activated the magic.
"Oh? That kind of magic won't work on me!"
Leoric Shock possesses items that counteract time-related magic, allowing him to completely resist this most troublesome type of time magic.
"Is that so?"
Tang Zheng's cold laugh came from behind the mask on his face.
Leoric Zhen's expression changed slightly as he noticed the abnormality, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the Deathly Despair he was holding.
The target of the opponent's magic was not him at all...
It was this lowly female human!
Because at this moment, Zesshi Zesshi's breathing and the flow of blood on his body had completely stopped, which was a sign that he had been under a spell.
"A very smart move."
Leoric Zhen withdrew his gaze, offering a cold compliment while inwardly thinking:
"To be able to come up with such an evasion method on the spot, one is certainly not an ordinary magic caster, but..."
"As long as the battle is resolved before the magic wears off, everything will be fine."
In the "time-stopped" state, all attacks will fail, as will buffs and protective measures.
Leoric Shock used some protective abilities to prevent his toy from dying, but those abilities are now ineffective.
Both sides are well aware of this.
The life or death of the two will be decided the moment the "time stop" state is lifted.
The situation is interesting!
Leoric Shock, the enemy, must protect Zetsumei from death, because resurrection magic can be rejected.
Only by capturing Zetsuki alive can you obtain information, and it's also a pretty good toy.
Tang Zheng, however, was determined to kill Jue Shi Jue Ming to prevent him from falling into enemy hands.
boom!
A sharp and ruthless aura emanated from it.
"Intimidating Fist!"
Leoric Zhen raised his arm and threw a punch in Tang Zheng's direction, a shockwave that could interrupt the skill and spread forward.
at the same time!
"Magic Without Incantation: Polar Claw!"
Tang Zheng stopped dodging and activated his magic in advance to prevent his skill from being interrupted by "Shock Fist".
Whoosh~
The polar claw, radiating icy coldness, shot forward, freezing the air in its path and forming visible ice crystals.
Boom!
The two forces collided in mid-air, and the Arctic Claw was blasted apart, with the finest blue ice crystals exploding between the two.
"I'll snap your neck first!"
Leoric Zhen had already arrived behind Tang Zheng, his left hand reaching out and grabbing at the back of his neck with lightning speed.
"Magic Without Incantation: High-Rank Magic Shield!"
This skill is one of the spells that Tang Zheng learned from Silver Olive's "Power Armor".
A semi-transparent magical barrier appeared, blocking the attack, but cracks appeared in the magic shield, causing it to shake.
"Swift Strike Combo!"
Leoric Zhen's gaze was ruthless, and every part of his body transformed into a terrifying weapon, bombarding him like a storm.
Click!
The magic shield, which was already barely holding on, shattered on the spot.
Tang Zheng reacted quickly: "Magic Without Chanting - Heat Up!"
Move your fingertips forward a little.
Rumble— Rumble—
A dazzling crimson light burst forth, followed by a terrifying high-temperature shockwave and heat wave.
Leoric Zhen's attack paused briefly, blue arcs of electricity crackling across his body as he withstood the shockwave and scorching heat, raising his fist:
"Penetrating power!"
Azure lightning condensed into a fist-shaped bolt of lightning, which was thrown out like a cannonball, easily breaking through the high-temperature barrier.
Can't avoid it?
Tang Zheng was taken aback; his opponent's fighting skills and reaction speed were too fast.
Not only that!
He could sense that some of the skills Leoric Zhen possessed were clearly the type that could counter magic casters.
Tang Zheng tried to dodge, but his stats couldn't keep up, so he had to cast the spell again.
"Magic Without Casting - Damage Redirection!"
Bang!
The fist-shaped lightning punch pierced through Tang Zheng's chest, and the terrifying impact sent Tang Zheng flying.
"flight"
Tang was chanting in mid-air.
The "no-fly" restriction prevents people from flying, but through flight magic, one can gain full control over the body.
Adjust the landing angle!
Tang Zheng landed awkwardly in mid-air, his golden magic robe torn with a large, charred hole, revealing his flat stomach.
The magic power has dropped significantly again.
"Damage Shift" can convert damage received into mana consumption, making it a neutral spell.
"Another way to withstand damage. I'd like to see how many more times you, a lowly creature, can withstand it!"
Leoric Zhen's eyes were filled with disdain as he instantly transformed into lightning in mid-air.
"Dragon Zen Steps!"
In an instant!
He transformed into a blue electric laser beam once more, hurtling straight towards the spot where Tang Zheng had just landed.
A continuous attack rhythm!
Like a raging storm, giving the enemy no chance to breathe, Leoric Shock was like a humanoid monster possessing the power of a dragon and mastering the ultimate skills of a martial monk.
No!
The other party was originally a dragon.
—At the same time, the "time stop" state of Zetsu Zetsumei also began to be lifted!
Whoosh!
Blue arcs of electricity flickered.
Leoric Zhen appeared before Tang Zheng, his fist smashing through the air, his cold, vertical pupils revealing amusement and curiosity in toying with his opponent.
The female inferior creature in my hand is somewhat special, but the magic chanter in front of me is even more special!
In conclusion.
It gave him a strange feeling.
It was as if, when facing an opponent of equal strength, this inferior creature was able to keep up with his attack rhythm during the attack!
That's incredible!
Despite being a magic caster, Leoric Zhen possessed such intuition, leading him to suspect it was some kind of special skill enhancement.
But what use is a warrior-type buff to a magic caster?
Moreover, the opponent's demonic power is also abnormal!
The fact that it could keep up with his speed without him hearing the chanting meant that it must have used the "magic without chanting" enhancement method.
Since the enemy began their invasion, and so many spells have been cast, their magic power should have been depleted long ago!
Regardless!
The magic caster before them now had only two choices, just like those arrogant invaders of the past, who had to choose between their own lives and the lives of their companions.
It's been so long since I've seen such a delightful comedy!
Boom!
A thick, viscous malice and murderous intent surged forth, the breath of death drawing ever closer, as Leoric Shock stood right before him.
Tang Zheng knew it very well!
He only has one chance to cast the spell.
If you want to save yourself, you have to give up the possibility of certain death; if you want to save the other person, then you will be the one who dies.
He is indeed not the type of person who would sacrifice himself for others, however...
"Magic without chanting, resistance breakthrough - Death!"
Tang Zheng quickly raised his arm, aimed at the Death Spell held by Leoric Zhenti, and activated the instant-death spell:
"it's over!"
The time effect has been removed.
This requires personal judgment, and even among top players, only a few can master this advanced skill.
Tang Zheng had only recently acquired the "Time Stop" spell, so he couldn't immediately determine when to undo it, but it was enough that he could do it before Leoric Zhen!
That's precisely why.
Leoric Zhencai gave up, activated his skill to protect Zesshi Zesshi, and turned to attack Tang Zheng. He only needed to keep one intruder alive.
Unleash the magic!
Already severely injured, Zesshi Zesshi was extremely weak and powerless to resist the instant-death magic. His eyes rolled back, and he died instantly.
"interesting!"
Seeing Tang Zheng's choice, Leoric Zhen laughed and swung his arm, his fist transforming into a claw that pierced through Tang Zheng's chest.
"Choose to be a hero? Then so be it!"
Welcome—to a world of true despair!
Pfft!
Tang Zheng's chest was pierced through, and blood and flesh spurted out, blooming in the air.
"What a pity, I couldn't capture you two alive."
Leoric Zhen licked his lips, his expression ferocious and excited as he withdrew his arm from Tang Zheng's chest, a heart clutched in his claws.
"Don't worry, it's just a heart. I acted quickly. When I cut off your heart, I sealed your blood vessels with lightning."
"Anyway, he won't die anytime soon, my lovely hero!"
"Ah...I...I..."
The voice coming from behind Tang Zheng's mask was intermittent, like a cut-off signal, becoming blurry.
"ha."
Leoric Zhen casually tossed aside the lifeless corpse in his hand, then looked at Tang Zheng with a cruel, intrigued expression, seemingly preparing to listen to his last words:
"What are you trying to say, you inferior creature?"
“I am not… a hero, Leoric Shock.”
"Hmm?" Leoric Zhen frowned.
This despicable fellow dared to call him by his name directly. If he weren't sparing the other's life, he would have twisted his head off right now.
"Yes, you lost."
The muffled sound grew weaker.
Leoric Zhen, with his keen senses, naturally heard everything clearly: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Suddenly!
Leoric Zhen's expression changed.
Tang Zheng's body gradually twisted and then vanished into a shadow, along with the heart in his hand and the blood scattered on the ground.
Faced with this scene.
Even though Leoric Zhen was slow to react, he realized he had been tricked, and his face instantly turned as cold as an iceberg.
The surrounding air pressure became terrifying and oppressive!
"Imralis!!"
Leoric Shock roared almost like a howl.
The next moment.
"Guardian, that dragon has vanished too!"
In his mind, the voice of "Butler" Imralis echoed, equally panicked.
Leoric Zhen appeared here to deal with Tang Zheng and the two intruders, as well as the enemy suspected to be the True Dragon King who was waiting in "Cloud Crystal Plaza".
Naturally, they also dispatched corresponding monsters to encircle and suppress them!
The result... the result...
Leoric Zhen abruptly turned around and looked at the corpse of Zesshi Zesshi that he had just thrown aside, only to find that the corpse was still there.
"Immediately send a faith-based Golem from 'Spellcaster's Spring' to resurrect this corpse!"
Leoric Zhen's angry voice made the surrounding air vibrate.
"one……"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Leoric Zhen's pupils dilated slightly, and he saw the corpse of Jue Si Jue Ming dissipating into points of light at a visible speed.
An uncontrollable rage felt like it was about to explode in his chest!
In a state of extreme anger,
In Leoric Zhen's mind, the image of the three-headed hellhound monster that he had initially ignored resurfaced.
He hadn't yet guessed why the other party would do this, but since Tang Zheng and the others had shown such a meticulous plan, then the departure of Cerberus must be of paramount importance!
"Imralis! Cerberus!"
Leoric Shock transmitted his inner roar through the "message" he connected with.
"It...it also disappeared!"
The air became eerily quiet.
"A bunch of damned bugs!!" The roar that resounded through the sky echoed over the "outer city".
—A few minutes ago.
With one head carrying a strange scroll and the other carrying a cross-shaped scythe, Cerberus charged swiftly out of the "Gate of Aurora" as ordered.
What came into view were the eyes of six crimson beasts.
It is a long, seven-colored bridge, and in the distance you can see several Golem monsters colliding with a crimson dragon on the other side of the "Rainbow Bridge".
Cerberus withdrew its gaze and stepped onto the "Rainbow Bridge" without hesitation, its four legs landing on four different colors at once.
Rainbow Trap Triggered!
Whoosh!
Cerberus fell directly off the Rainbow Bridge and instantly disappeared from the [Floating City] area.
Several thousand meters in the air.
The Cerberus, unable to fly, flew through the air like a black meteor for several minutes.
It was accompanied by a loud "boom".
The three-headed hellhound crashed heavily to the ground, instantly dissipating into magical energy. Along with it, the strange scroll and the cross-shaped scythe also fell to the ground.
Buzz—
A golden light emanated from the surface of the strange scroll, and the cross-shaped spear and scythe disappeared.
In a short while.
The surface of the peculiar scroll rippled slightly, then slowly disappeared into the air.
