Chapter 513 Special Profession: Thunder Dragon Fist Master - Utilizing World Items
The "butler," Imralis, suppressed his complex emotions and looked through the magical screen and "message" at the figure standing ready on the screen:
"Guardian."
No matter how much they loathe and despise those inferior creatures, the enemy has been plotting and setting up this trap for over 200 years.
To underestimate the other party is foolish!
Lord Leoric Zhen did not display his usual fury, but rather a rare solemnity, indicating that he was equally aware of the situation.
The enemy appeared with guild weapons, and they were fully prepared!
only……
“Imralis, the horned fury was controlled and betrayed. Only the power of a World Item could accomplish such an incredible thing.”
"And now!"
"The enemy did not send Horned Fury to assist, there must be something wrong with that!"
Leoric Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold light as he calmly spoke in his mind:
"The reappearance of the guild weapon lost by the great gods is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us as well. Reclaiming the guild weapon is of utmost importance!"
That's right!
The reason the enemy dared to invade the Floating City so brazenly is ultimately because of the guild weapons; if they can reclaim them...
No matter what kind of conspiracy it may be, it's just a bubble under the scorching sun, and it will never exist!
"Guardian."
"Butler" Imralis gazed at the magical screen, leaning forward unconsciously, his voice tinged with worry:
"This is clearly a trap."
These invaders, with their strength, could not possibly be a match for Lord Leoric Zhen, yet they still dared to show up with precious guild weapons.
It's an obvious trap... no, it's an open conspiracy!
Lord Gros Hornfury's unexpected betrayal has likely led to the complete leak of intelligence, including the original alterations to the plans and traps.
With the enemy in control of the guild's weapons, it's pointless.
at present!
The only ones who can truly intimidate the enemy are Lord Leoric Zhen and Lord Sephiroth Sothos.
While the other forces are powerful, they all have certain limitations; the key is still the guild weapons!
"trap?"
Leoric Zhen chuckled softly: "That's precisely why I want to see what kind of trap these inferior creatures have prepared for me!"
"One of the purposes of the last invasion, when the enemy was numerous, was probably to test our strength."
Bang!
Leoric Zhen took a step forward, and a terrifying force erupted from him, creating a visible shockwave.
"No need for nonsense!"
"Keep a close eye on the battle and relay all enemy intelligence to Sephiroth Sothos. It's a pity 'Failure' was eliminated prematurely."
"The other true dragon king corpses need to be controlled by a special person in charge, and once they leave the core area, they will lack the blessing of the 'world guardian'."
Leoric Zhen twisted his neck, producing a crackling sound:
"Hopefully, these guys' trump card isn't a world-class item, otherwise things will really get bad."
The voice of "message" came through.
Despite his reluctance, the "butler" Imralis could only firmly reply, "Yes, Guardian!"
The enemy used a world-class item to cause Lord Gros Hornfury to betray them.
Although its specific effects are unclear, it can be roughly inferred that it is a world-class item that has a psychological impact.
This is an extremely terrifying power!
in addition!
He deduced that it should be possible to control only one target at a time.
Otherwise, the "failed work" sent out earlier would also have been controlled. Originally, this was a test by "Butler" Imralis, but it was unexpectedly used by the opponent to destroy the "failed work".
Since the enemy possesses one World-Class Item, the possibility that they possess multiple World-Class Items cannot be ruled out... even if... even if that possibility is extremely low!
[Floating City] At present, we cannot take any risks.
"A failed work" dies.
It is impossible to recover in just three days.
Without knowing whether the enemy possesses multiple World-Class items, or what their specific effects are.
Lord Leoric Zhen had no choice but to test the waters himself.
It's a bit impolite to say that.
Of the three guardians, Safis Sothos is the most important, as he was still able to use the power of the Nameless Spellbook even when the "Golden Palace" was closed.
With a variety of magic abilities, they can handle different unexpected situations, making them far more capable than the two guardians who are purely warriors...
"Inner City" entrance.
On the endless, pristine white staircase.
Leoric Zhen's gaze met that of Tang Zheng and his group.
One stood tall on the steps, looking down, while the other looked up at the figure radiating murderous intent.
"I don't like this angle!"
Zetsuki tilted his head back and uttered a mocking remark, but both his tone and defensive posture betrayed a far cry from the ease he appeared to be.
...because they're simply no match for them!
Even with their overconfidence and blind faith, after the last battle, they are now clear about the gap between the two sides.
"Hello!"
Leoric leaned forward, his head bowed, displaying an expression of disdain for Tang Zheng and the others.
"Do you lowly creatures even know what you're talking about?"
“Every spot you’ve stepped on with your filthy ankles needs to be cleaned and treated again!”
A majestic and awe-inspiring voice came from the top of the steps, like rolling sound waves that were both dazzling and terrifying.
"Feel sorry."
Tang Zheng rubbed his ears, looking apologetic, as if he truly wanted to apologize for what he had just said, but then his tone changed:
"I will clean up the places you've stepped on, but could you please leave my [Floating City]?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze!
Leoric Zhen's face twitched slightly, a barely suppressed rage emanating from him, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Huh? You're angry over that?"
Tang Zheng let out a surprised laugh:
"Has anyone told you that your method of deliberately provoking the enemy to extract information is outdated?"
"Shut up!!"
Leoric Zhen suddenly straightened up, clenched his thick, powerful fist, and swung it to his side.
—Bang.
What seemed like a casual punch produced a thunderous roar, creating a gale-force wind of level seven or eight where the fist passed, whipping up visible shockwaves that spread outwards.
Just this one casual strike!
Zesshi Zetsumei's heterochromatic black and white eyes involuntarily shrank deeply, a stark contrast to their previous encounter in battle.
If that punch had landed on her, it would have seriously injured her.
"Monster!" Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes twitched a few times.
Tang Zhengze narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, the skill enhancements, including magic enhancements, and the addition of various magical items and equipment have been completed.
This is different from our last encounter!
Leoric Shock approached the situation with a playful attitude last time, without making any prior preparations or being fully armed.
"Transform!"
Leoric Shock clenched his fists and growled.
In an instant.
Leoric Zhen's entire body expanded rapidly at a visible speed, like an inflating balloon, his muscles becoming thick and strong, as if they were being stretched into threads.
The human-shaped head gradually became distorted, with horn-like protrusions growing on both sides of the head, and blue scales beginning to appear on the skin all over the body.
Tear~
A tearing sound, like something breaking free of its restraints, rang out.
A thick tail, also covered in blue scales, emerged from Leoric Shock's waist and swung casually in mid-air.
It makes a piercing "crackling" sound, like air being shattered!
Then came blue arcs of electricity, erupting from Leoric Shock's entire body, crackling and popping, his whole body enveloped in flashes of blue lightning.
The air grew heavy!
As the blue arcs of electricity came into contact with the air, the smell of burning quickly filled the air, forming a negative status effect centered on themselves, containing poison and fire attributes.
This "negative state" is persistent and will continuously affect the enemy during combat!
From a distance.
Leoric Shock became incredibly imposing, resembling a dragon-like monster enveloped in electric light.
"Dragon People".
Tang Zheng frowned slightly and whispered something.
Leoric Zhen is a member of the "Dragonkin" race and possesses a special transformation ability. Once transformed, all his attributes are greatly enhanced.
Although I already knew this information!
Even after feeling that astonishing sense of oppression, Tang was still shocked.
This reminded him of Sebastian, one of the guardians of the hierarchy in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, who was also a dragonkin.
Like Leoric Shock, it is also a Monk class in terms of class construction, and the two seem somewhat similar.
This kind of race and class composition is probably considered a relatively powerful type in the game "YGGDRASIL".
As for who is stronger, Leoric Zhen or Sebastian?
You'll probably only know once you've fought it.
"—You scum, die!"
Leoric Zhen opened his palm, his fingers flashing sharp, metallic nails, and a thunderous roar echoed through the air:
"Final Technique: Thunder Dragon Celestial Stream!"
roar!
A shockwave, like the roar of a dragon, erupted from Leoric Shock, and the blue arcs of electricity emanating from his body burst forth like flames doused in oil.
Dense electric arcs formed a phantom image of a dragon king made of lightning in mid-air.
"—First Strike: Thunderous Sound!"
Click!
Leoric Zhen instantly transformed into electricity, rushing towards Enferea next to Tang Zheng with an indescribable and astonishing speed.
With his eyes wide open, Jue Si Jue Ming could only catch a blurry blue flash of lightning, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
...
The skill "Final Form: Thunder Dragon Celestial Stream" has been discovered, requiring the special class "Thunder Dragon Fist Master". Current requirements are not met...
"Would you like to spend 3 skill points to learn the degraded class, which requires a higher-tier class as a prerequisite...? The current conditions are not met. Would you like to spend 3 skill points to learn it?"
'Requires a mid-level profession as a prerequisite...'
'...'
...
A large amount of information quickly appeared on the attribute panel in front of Tang Zheng.
Unlike Gros Hornfury, Leoric Shock is an NPC with a special class, the Thunderstruck Dragon Fist, which is a class within the Monk system.
"They're here!"
Tang Zheng was on high alert, catching sight of the figure rushing towards him and staring intently at its movement trajectory.
This is a real match against 100 opponents, and they're going all out. There's no room for even the slightest lapse in concentration!
His current class setup does indeed lack a warrior class; to obtain this special class, he needs to acquire a higher-level class as a prerequisite.
Not to mention that class building will become more chaotic, there is also a lack of experience at present.
not to mention!
The profession is [Thunder Dragon Fist Master]. Just from the name, one can vaguely tell that it is a special profession used by the dragon race.
Whoosh!
A blue arc of electricity suddenly appeared beside Tang Zheng, its sharp claws tearing through the air and striking Enferea directly.
For Leoric Zhen and the others, the threat posed by Tang Zheng and his group was Enfield, who could use guild weapons, and was the one they needed to deal with the most!
I see you!
A glint flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. Enfieldia's plan was originally a calculated scheme to lure the level 100 guardian of the [Floating City]. A thought formed in his mind:
"【Two Realms Mandala】!"
Buzz—
A flash of golden light.
Exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, Leoric Zhen, who had rushed towards them, vanished without any hindrance.
Snap!
A lingering blue arc of electricity dissipated in mid-air, emitting a faint crackling sound, and the oppressive feeling that had permeated the surroundings dissipated.
"It worked?" Zesshi Zesshi finally realized what was happening and looked around in astonishment.
"Walk!"
Tang Zheng felt no relief whatsoever; his expression grew even more solemn as he led Enferea forward.
Forcibly taking Leoric Zhen into the [Two Realms Mandala] does not mean the end. Two Heavenly Kings with extremely high physical resistance are not enough to destroy the fully armed Leoric Zhen!
The opponent's true adversary.
It's my former comrade, Gros Hornfury!
As for the God Captain and the Demon Tree, they were transferred to another alternate dimension as a precaution.
With an average level of only around 80, this single person and tree are of very limited effectiveness against a fully armed level 100 opponent.
"...I don't know if we can win."
Tang Zheng's expression turned slightly grim. After witnessing Leoric Zhen unleash his full power, he realized he had underestimated his opponent's strength.
"I originally planned to capture him alive after severely injuring him, but now it's uncertain whether I can even kill him!"
Gros Horned Wrath was already weaker than Leoric Shock, not to mention that when he was lured out of the guild by Platinum Armor last time, he was not fully armed and lacked magical equipment and items.
If we add Tang Zheng himself...
He was confident of victory, but he couldn't leave now. If he entered the [Two Realms Mandala], even the most desperate warriors couldn't protect Enferea.
"Ara~, yes!"
Zesshi Zesshi licked his lips, grinned excitedly, and quickly followed behind.
The top floor of the "Starry Sky Watchtower".
"Butler" Imralis stared wide-eyed, his shoulders stiffening as he froze on the spot.
"A world-class item...a world-class item!"
"Another one."
"Damn it, damn it! This is the most troublesome situation yet."
"Butler" Imralis raised his hand and yanked hard on his neatly combed hair, the strands taut and emitting a mournful sound:
"Disappearance, is that a power from another dimension? What is Lord Leoric Zhen's current condition?"
There's too little information to analyze any useful clues!
On the magical screen, Tang Zheng and his group had crossed the steps and entered the inner city area. All the traps and mazes were completely ineffective under the control of the guild's weapons.
"Lord Safis Sothos, the enemy has entered the inner city and should be stepping into the core area soon."
"...Lord Leoric Zhen, the enemy used a World Item to teleport. The current situation is unknown. The guild panel shows no deaths."
"At least we can confirm that there is no immediate danger to his life."
For the first time, a flicker of panic appeared in the eyes of "Butler" Imralis.
