Countermeasure, Destroying the Principality
--Q!
Large shards of broken glass flew through the air like a rainstorm, crashing heavily onto the smooth marble floor.
Snap!
Creak!
A dense, piercing sound echoed.
A girl with two-colored ponytails squatted easily on a glass frame that was only as thick as a finger. She looked to be only a teenager.
The sunlight outside the window.
The sunlight shone on her petite figure, creating a huge shadow that enveloped Tang Zheng and the others in the center of the hall, which was filled with a sense of holiness.
The composure that the Cardinal of Water Zinedine, and the Cardinal of Earth Raymond, had maintained vanished completely at this moment, replaced by a look of surprise and disbelief.
"What is she doing here?"
A barely perceptible hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Cardinal of Earth Raymond, and he instinctively leaned back.
As a former member of the [Black Scripture], the Cardinal of Earth Raymond was arguably one of the people who knew this girl's power and terror best.
The Cardinal of Water Zinedine eyes had been narrowed the whole time, widened his gaze, indicating that he was not at peace with himself.
He was pondering the girl's earlier statement, "The last Angel is here."
Could it be--
"Take the Principality away," The Cardinal of Water Zinedine ordered swiftly.
They brought the Principality here to better demonstrate to Team Leader Tang the importance and significance of "Assimilation Potion."
The Four Elements closest to the Angel instinctively accepted the command and placed their hands on the Principality.
"Pass..."
The "Four Elements" began chanting, preparing to activate Teleportation spell to take the Principality with them away from here.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed. "I see."
He had been wondering how such a massive Principality could be found in this temple.
After all, the existence of this Angel should be classified, and the massive and conspicuous Principality would cause a sensation if it were to move around normally.
But!
Compared to this trivial matter,
Why is Zesshi Zetsumei here?
Tang Zheng's expression darkened slightly, and a wary look appeared in his eyes as he quickly scanned the emotional changes on the faces of the two Cardinal opposite him.
After realizing that the Slane Theocracy was able to allow the summoned Angel to exist for about 10 years,
Tang Zheng realized that things were probably going to get more complicated than he had initially expected.
Seventh-Tier Angel is nothing to Tang Zheng or Player around level 100, but to people from New World, it's a power at the level of Demon Gods!
The "level 43-49" range is already comparable to the level of some Dragon Lords.
Most importantly!
This is a realm that humans cannot reach. In fact, compared to cultivating a powerful being in the "Hero Realm," summoning a Seventh-Tier Angel who can exist for a long time is much less costly.
No wonder the Slane Theocracy is taking this so seriously!
The sudden appearance of Zesshi Zetsumei made Tang Zheng suspect that the other party was putting on a show, and if they failed to reach an agreement, they would show their "absolute" strength.
Of all the Slane Theocracy, there are only two that Tang Zheng truly fears.
One is World Item, [Downfall of Castle and Country]!
One of them is Zesshi Zetsumei!
He wasn't afraid of the strength of the Zesshi Zetsumei. With Tang Zheng's current strength level and class structure, he was no match for an enemy with such a chaotic class structure as the Zesshi Zetsumei.
Even if the opponent's level is higher than his, Tang Zheng is confident that he can defeat them with his full power.
His only concern about Zesshi Zetsumei was that the opponent could use [The Goal of All Life is Death] with the help of his Innate Talent power!
Tang Zheng had no resurrection items or rebirth magic. The only way to deal with "The Goal of All Life is Death" was to use an instant- Zesshi Zetsumei magic attack at the exact moment of his Instant Death.
Use [Valkyrie]'s "Unclean Impact Shield" to negate Instant Death magic skills.
[The Goal of All Life is Death] is the trump card for enhancing Instant Death skills. It has the ability to strengthen instant -Instant Death skills, forcibly break through resistances, and cause complete Instant Death!
The skill's background setting states that it can "kill even inanimate objects."
However, there is a prerequisite for activating [The Goal of All Life is Death]: the user must first activate Instant Death spell to hit the opponent, just like placing a "death" mark on the opponent in a game.
Combined with [The Goal of All Life is Death], the death mark will be forcibly triggered!
The "Unclean Impact Shield" can remove the "Death" mark from the character, thus preventing [The Goal of All Life is Death] from being triggered.
certainly.
This is just theory; in reality, it's much more dangerous. It requires activating "Unclean Impact Shield" at the exact moment the opponent launches their Instant Death.
With the advantage of having intelligence, Tang Zheng only needs to be cautious and there's no need to worry about falling into a trap. In fact, resisting the [The Goal of All Life is Death] of Zesshi Zetsumei is not difficult if one is careful, but dealing with Bone Lord is a different story.
"Unclean Impact Shield" can only be cast twice, while Bone Lord can use Instant Death magic without limit.
As for [Downfall of Castle and Country]?
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. With the help of the Gold Dragon Lord's passive ability, he had expanded his perception to the extreme, constantly watching for anyone who approached this temple.
at the same time!
A unique perspective appeared in Tang Zheng's line of sight—a bird's-eye view from above the temple.
It is not the Fifth-Tier Magic "Clairvoyance".
Because of the various possibilities, the "Clairvoyance" type of detection magic is continuous.
The Slane Theocracy should have corresponding sensing and defense mechanisms, so it adopted a different approach.
Now!
The direction of the spire located at the highest point of the entire temple.
A small, gray sparrow, about the size of a fist, was perched on the spire, occasionally turning its tiny head to observe the surroundings of the temple.
The Death Omen Sparrow - Third-Tier Monster Summoning!
Although this monster is a Third-Tier summon, it has no offensive capabilities, but it can share the user's vision and emit a piercing, penetrating cry.
"Monster Summoning," "Composite Elemental Summoning," and "Angel Summoning" are the three summoning spells that Tang Zheng has mastered.
However, apart from "Angel Summoning," Tang Zheng didn't use the other two summoning spells much, since the power of Angel alone was enough.
Using the vision of the "Death Omen Sparrow"!
They also have an intelligence advantage!
A ruthless glint appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes. If any old woman in a golden cheongsam dared to show herself, he would not hesitate to activate his passive skill, "Advance Magic Preparation."
Without needing to chant any spells, instantly cast the Tenth-Tier Magic "Warming"!
Enough to turn this entire area to ashes in an instant!
whoosh--
Suddenly, Zesshi Zetsumei's figure leaped into the air, a long strand of white hair flashing through the air before quickly landing behind the two Cardinal.
With a "click".
The sound of footsteps landing smoothly rang out.
The expressions of the Cardinal of Water Zinedine and the Cardinal of Earth Raymond changed slightly.
"What are you doing?"
Zesshi Zetsumei looked expressionlessly at the "Four Elements".
The action of preparing to activate the Teleportation spell paused.
The seemingly gloomy middle-aged man known as "Four Elements" surprisingly displayed a childlike unease and panic.
Mingming 'Zesshi Zetsumei seem more like those of a child.
But at this moment.
The calm tone of Zesshi Zetsumei, contrasted with the tension of the "Four Elements," was like a child caught doing something wrong by an adult, as if roles had been reversed.
"Ha... you can't let this toy Teleportation away."
Zesshi Zetsumei raised her left leg, revealing a black ankle boot with a brown sole, her long, slender leg encased in a pure black stocking.
The "Four Elements" stood there with bitter expressions on their faces.
I watched helplessly as my left leg, seemingly on the verge of Zesshi Zetsumei, kicked out.
The movements were not fast.
With the abilities of the "Four Elements," he could easily dodge it, or even use defensive magic to block it, but he dared not do so.
He'd rather be injured!
If he resists, he will be met with a brutal beating.
With a loud "bang!"
The brown soles of the shoes were imprinted on the chest of the "Four Elements," producing a strong, muffled sound.
"Ah, ah..."
The "Four Elements" let out a scream, their waists bent like roasted shrimp, as they were kicked away.
Thump!
The black figure, like a thrown sandbag, crashed heavily into the opposite wall.
White and red vomit was coughed up from his mouth.
The "Four Elements" fell from the wall, and he passed out unconscious.
Tang Zheng was momentarily stunned upon seeing this, his eyes glancing at the "Four Elements" out of the corner of his eye.
His head is facing away from this direction.
There were slight signs of movement in the shoulder, and the body seemed to be twitching uncontrollably due to the intense pain.
Are you faking being unconscious?
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. "Isn't this a double act?"
He observed that the two Cardinal also seemed to be full of surprise, but as one of the rulers of the Slane Theocracy, he had no way of knowing if they were really "acting."
New World are never short of cunning old foxes!
But Zesshi Zetsumei probably doesn't possess this level of "acting skills."
That's not the correct way to judge it.
After all, it's just a novel. But to cripple a member of the "Hero Realm" [Black Scripture] right off the bat—the price for this charade is a bit too high.
The strength that Tang Zheng displayed was only at this level.
"Nonsense!"
"What are you doing? Go back immediately!" The Cardinal of Earth Raymond slammed his hand on the table, suppressing his immense fear, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Huh~?"
Ignoring the Cardinal of Earth Raymond, Zesshi Zetsumei raised his head to look at the Principality, a slight smile curving his lips:
Why didn't you tell me about this interesting toy?
As soon as the words left his mouth!
Zesshi Zetsumei took the scythe off his shoulder. It was a Jet Black, cross-shaped war scythe, similar to a sickle but with three blades.
"Stop!"
The Cardinal of Water Zinedine, quickly stood up, seemingly guessing what Zesshi Zetsumei was about to do, and hurriedly tried to stop him.
Wow!
The Cross-Spear War Scythe transformed into a sharp black light, Slash Strike the Principality heavily.
Boom!
A tremendous roar and impact echoed throughout the hall.
The Principality was repelled, and a crack about one finger's width appeared on the surface of his silver-white armor, which emitted a faint Holy Light.
As it was attacked!
The Principality, who had remained motionless until now, suddenly flapped its wings as if startled awake.
Numerous white feathers appeared out of thin air, forming converging streams of sacred energy, making the Holy Light emanating from the Principality even larger and brighter.
Swish!
The golden scepter instantly condensed, was firmly grasped by the Principality's hands, and then transformed into numerous golden fragments that swirled around him.
A terrifying energy fluctuation permeated the air!
"Not good!"
The Cardinal of Earth Raymond's expression changed drastically. He instantly stood up and retreated rapidly backward, while simultaneously raising his palm and slapping his chest.
The magical artifact hidden within the white magic robe was triggered, forming a holy barrier that enveloped the entire body!
"Magic Shield!"
"Lower Rank - Holy Resistance!"
"Shield Arm!"
The Cardinal of Water Zinedine hurriedly left the round table and retreated to the other side, continuously casting defensive spells.
"What is going on?"
At this moment, Tang Zheng finally realized that they weren't faking it, and simultaneously made a retreating motion.
Bang! Bang!
A pure white light appeared.
Two Observer Dominion materialized in mid-air, blocking Tang Zheng's path, and together they retreated.
Zesshi Zetsumei watched the increasingly intense sacred energy, the corners of his mouth curving upwards even deeper.
"Power Strike Enhancement!"
"Ability Boost!"
"Greater Ability Boost!"
"Greater Slash Strike!"
With a burst of power from his legs, Zesshi Zetsumei Ming leaped into the air, landing above the head of the Principality. While the Angel was still "casting," Jue Cross-Spear War Scythe.
Crack--Sizzle!!
The ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing together and the sparks flying!
So all the person felt was a flash of black light.
The Principality was actually sliced in two by this black Slash Strike.
Bang!
The Principality's body split apart, its prepared attack forcibly interrupted, and it dissipated in mid-air as holy energy specks.
A powerful Angel with the strength of Demon Gods was actually killed in a single blow. Such a terrifying scene was displayed before everyone present, causing different changes in the expressions of everyone present!
The Cardinal of Earth Raymond, and the Cardinal of Water Zinedine, were both shocked and furious.
They didn't know why Zesshi Zetsumei knew about the existence of Angel, but now, they cared about more than just that!
The Principality has been destroyed!
The resources previously consumed were completely wasted, and the plan to make it the foundation of the Theocracy for 10 years was also destroyed.
Not only that.
The phrase "the last Angel" spoken by Zesshi Zetsumei when he appeared clearly indicates that the other two Principality they had summoned before were also destroyed.
The Cardinal of Earth Raymond's cheeks twitched, his eyes twitched, and intense pain and anger made his face turn bright red.
The Cardinal of Water Zinedine, was ashen-faced, but what angered him even more than the losses were these.
It's the trump card of the Theocracy Zesshi Zetsumei!
What was once a secret, something that could not be known to any outsiders, has now been exposed.
There were outsiders present!
The power to annihilate Highest-Tier Angel in a single strike is something no human could possibly possess.
The Cardinal of Water Zinedine did not think that the Tang team leader was a fool; the other party would probably have some kind of speculation and suspicion about this.
No?
The figure of Zesshi Zetsumei fell from the sky, its gaze sweeping in the direction where the Principality had disappeared, as if searching for something.
Nothing was found.
A hint of regret appeared on Zesshi Zetsumei's face, but she turned around calmly, seemingly not caring much.
Continue to ignore the two Cardinal!
Zesshi Zetsumei turned around, her black and white ponytail swaying, her heterochromatic eyes, the same color as her hair, staring at Tang Zheng, who had retreated some distance and was hiding behind the two Observer Dominion.
