Shapeshifting Ring Activates Resurrection Magic
With this magical item in hand, Tang Zheng now possessed all four of the Lizardman Clan's greatest treasures.
He withdrew his gaze from the Magic Cauldron.
What's the deal with this magic ring?
Tang Zheng flipped his hand, and a magic ring appeared in his palm. It was the same magic item he had obtained from the Cave Lizardman, which had the ability to change one's appearance.
He had already determined that the magic ring's ability was limited to making simple changes to its appearance.
"These are magical tools he taught us; they can only alter one's appearance in a simple way."
The Verdant Leaf Witch quickly and respectfully spoke, then took out another identical magic ring from her bosom:
"Every so often, magic needs to be injected into the Shapeshifting Ring before it can be used again."
Upon hearing that the ring was given to the Twin Witches by the Gray-robed Magic Caster, Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Can you turn into humans by using this ring?" Tang Zheng asked the Verdant Leaf Witch.
"Yes, Master."
The Verdant Leaf Witch nodded, put the Shapeshifting Ring on her finger, and then with a slight tremor, the leaves that enveloped her body fell away.
Immediately afterwards!
The Verdant Leaf Witch's body was enveloped in a pale white light, twisting and deforming.
In the blink of an eye, a girl with pale skin, white hair, and who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
Wrap the leaves around your body.
Tang Zheng turned his head slightly and spoke in the same tone.
The Verdant Leaf Witch was somewhat puzzled, but she immediately did as she was told, wrapping the fallen leaves back around herself.
Tang Zheng then took another look at the Verdant Leaf Witch. From her appearance, he couldn't tell at all that she was Demi-Human Species.
The Shapeshifting Ring's ability can only change the appearance, but fortunately, apart from their appearance and overly thin physique, the Twin Witches are very similar to humans.
"You, go inside." Tang Zheng looked at the White Mist Witch standing to the side.
The White Mist Witch understood, and with a swift movement, she transformed into a White Mist and merged into the Verdant Leaf Witch's body.
"Very good."
Tang Zheng nodded in satisfaction at the sight, a smile appearing on his face. However, his next words sent a shiver down the spines of the Twin Witches:
"At least you two are still somewhat useful. I was originally considering whether to get rid of you two."
The Twin Witches were terrified.
Whoosh!
Tang Zheng tossed the ring in his hand towards the Twin Witches.
The Twin Witches quickly reached out and caught it.
"Throw this Shapeshifting Ring into the Lizardman's territory. After you've done that, leave the Great Wetlands," Tang Zheng said calmly.
"Leave?" The Verdant Leaf Witch was taken aback, and somewhat puzzled.
Tang Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly as he looked at the other person indifferently.
Cuiye Demon Eyes shut its mouth and lowered its head in fear.
"Head south. With your combined strength, crossing the Great Forest of Tob shouldn't be a problem. There are quite a few human villages on the outskirts of the Great Forest of Tob; try to sneak in."
"First, learn how to integrate into human society."
Tang Zheng reached into his magic belt at his waist, took out a money bag containing 50 gold coins, and tossed it over.
Ding~ Ding~
The money pouch flew through the air and landed in the Twin Witches ' hands, the gold coins inside clinking together with a crisp sound.
They gazed in the direction the Twin Witches had left.
"We really don't have enough manpower," Tang Zheng muttered to himself.
He had originally planned to send the Twin Witches to the Great Forest of Tob to assist the Demon Snake of the West, but after some consideration, he abandoned the idea.
Because the Twin Witches and the Demon Snake of the West are in different situations.
The Twin Witches submitted to him entirely out of fear of his strength. In addition, they were also aware that Tang Zheng Twin Witches Magic Mark on both of them, so they couldn't escape even if they tried.
Only then did they obediently follow Tang Zheng's orders.
As for the Demon Snake of the West, it concerns the acquisition of experience in the later stages, and Tang Zheng does not want any problems to arise unless absolutely necessary.
As for the reason for sending the Twin Witches away from the Great Wetlands?
This was naturally to prepare for the Slane Theocracy's next move.
His words weren't meant to scare the Twin Witches, unless they could transform into humans through a magic Twin Witches.
Tang Zheng did indeed intend to take care of the Twin Witches along with the Cave Lizardman.
Next--
He looked at the unconscious Gray-robed Magic Caster beside him.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed; he planned to use the other person as the first person for his experiment and to kill him completely.
"Regardless of right or wrong."
"May you rest in peace forever."
Tang Zheng stood up, stared at the Gray-robed Magic Caster, flipped his hand, and an iron sword appeared in his palm. He then swung his hand down.
Fresh blood gushed from his throat!
The Gray-robed Magic Caster awoke from his unconscious state, his bloodshot eyes widening suddenly. After twitching a few times, he fell completely silent.
Experience gained: 16212
[Experience Bar: 65977/120000]
The information on the Attribute Panel is flashing.
"Level 29 and above actually provides nearly 20,000 experience points?" Tang Zheng was slightly surprised when he saw the Experience Points he gained.
Because he couldn't accurately determine the Gray-robed Magic Caster's specific level, Tang Zheng was also unable to analyze how many Experience Points were given for each level.
"Resurrection of the Dead - Revised!"
As soon as the thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, he immediately activated the Resurrection Magic, his eyes fixed on the Gray-robed Magic Caster's body.
Under the passive ability of [Shaman Adept], he can see the translucent soul that emerges from the body of the Gray-robed Magic Caster after death.
Buzz--
A powerful surge of magical energy emanated from Tang Zheng, forming a circular magic circle three meters in diameter, which appeared beneath Tang Zheng's feet.
An invisible, astonishing magic caused the surrounding air to sink.
Since "Resurrection of the Dead - Modified" is Resurrection Magic that has been modified by humans from New World and can be cast using Arcane System, it requires double the amount of magic power.
Such a huge drain on magic power is something Tang Zheng, even with his current level of magic power, cannot sustain for more than a few times.
Therefore, the [Mad Magic Caster]'s class skill "Mad Meditation" was activated instead of being consumed.
Whoosh--
The magic circle flashed.
The soul, which had been hovering above the Gray-robed Magic Caster's corpse and was gradually dissipating, was forcibly pushed back into the corpse by the Resurrection Magic.
"Ah--"
The Gray-robed Magic Caster's corpse instantly came back to life, letting out a scream as if waking from a dream, and sat up covered in cold sweat.
"Thank you, Alliance..."
The Gray-robed Magic Caster gasped for breath, and as his consciousness gradually returned, he instinctively tried to speak.
However!
When the Gray-robed Magic Caster saw that Tang Zheng was standing in front of him, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face showed a mixture of shock, astonishment, disbelief, and other emotions.
"Insect Swarm— " The Gray-robed Magic Caster tried to cast a spell, but Tang Zheng, who was prepared, acted first and knocked him unconscious again.
At such close range, the Gray-robed Magic Caster had absolutely no chance of resisting Tang Zheng's true melee abilities.
"Resurrection Magic is indeed related to the soul."
Tang Zheng looked at the unconscious Gray-robed Magic Caster, recalling the changes that had occurred during the entire process, and murmured:
"The aura has weakened considerably; based on the characteristics of Low-level Resurrection Magic, it should have dropped four levels."
Tang Zheng was already aware of this change, so he wasn't surprised.
In the anime and light novel, Bone Lord and Demiurge conducted numerous experiments on Healing Magic and Resurrection Magic, and have drawn certain conclusions.
Tang Zheng did not revive the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke because his life level would drop if he were revived.
Losing experience is one thing.
The key point is that if the opponent's fur or other materials die and are resurrected, their level will also decrease.
As for skinning the opponent beforehand, it's useless, because after resurrection, the missing limbs will also disappear along with the opponent.
This is also the conclusion Demiurge reached, so there is no possibility of farming materials through Resurrection Magic. There may be some ways to exploit bugs, but the results are unknown.
