--Whoosh!

From the sleeve of the red robe, a black leather glove emerged, reaching out to grab the stiff body of the Evileye.

The members of [Blue Roses] who were lying on the hillside also reacted at the same moment.

"Stop!"

Lakyus's eyes widened in fury, the chill rising from his spine turning into rage, and he instantly drew his demonic sword and burst into the air.

Gagaran's towering frame also displayed reaction speed far exceeding his size, as he swung his broken hammer. "Get out of my way!"

"Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Body Freezing Technique!"

Tina made a hand seal with a low shout.

Swish!

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Concealment!"

Tia vanished into thin air, emerging from the shadow behind the mysterious red-robed man, gripping a gleaming Vampire Blade in one hand.

The ruthless stab aimed for the heart of the mysterious man in the red robe in the back!

In the blink of an eye.

The four members of [Blue Roses] have launched their attack. Lakyus and Gagaran are positioned on the left and right, Tina restricts the opponent's movements, and Tia attacks from behind, blocking their retreat.

The situation reversed in an instant!

However.

The mysterious man in red robes seemed completely oblivious to their attacks, continuing his grab towards the Evileye, just as his fingertips were about to touch it.

The stiff shoulders of the Evileye suddenly swayed, and he nimbly retreated, causing the mysterious man in red robes to miss his grasp.

"Huh?"

Tang Zheng, disguised as the mysterious man in red robes, watched as the Evileye, who had only been frozen for a moment before breaking free from the "Undead Control," had a hint of regret in his eyes.

Three attacks from the left, right, and rear also landed simultaneously.

"Dimensional Move"

Rumble!!

A tremendous roar echoed from the hilltop.

Tia Pierces the Sky.

Lakyus and Gagaran's attacks slammed into the ground, creating a powerful tremor. A crater appeared where Tang Zheng was standing, and plumes of smoke billowed into the sky.

The attack missed.

[Blue Roses] did not immediately give chase, but quickly assumed a defensive stance, warily looking at the other side.

"Damn it, who is it!"

Gagaran was furious; his muscles tensed, making his already tall frame appear even more ferocious.

Lakyus gripped the Jet Black magic sword with both hands, staring coldly ahead, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness. "Are you alright, Evileye?"

"It's alright, the other party is not simple."

A low, hoarse voice, indistinguishable between male and female, emanated from behind the mask of Evileye, revealing surprise and anger within.

She wore a magical ring that concealed her identity Undead, and she also possessed a treasure from her hometown, a magical artifact called the "Shroud of Rest."

It can also suppress the smell of Undead transformation and decay, etc.

With these two magical items, no one could discover his identity Undead, yet the mysterious figure who suddenly appeared used magic that could control the Undead as soon as he showed up.

There's something wrong with this!

The smoke and dust have cleared up.

A mysterious figure in red robes appeared in the sight of the [Blue Roses] group.

He was dressed in a long red magic robe, his head was covered by a loose red hood, and his face was covered by a mask, making him look extremely mysterious.

Judging from his appearance alone, he doesn't look like a good person.

"Who are you!"

Lakyus shouted, pointing his left pinky finger downwards as he gripped the demon sword.

The members of [Blue Roses] immediately noticed the Devil Captain's subtle movements, which signaled that an attack could be launched at any moment.

"I was just helping you guys."

Tang Zheng's voice, altered by magical artifacts, was filled with a hoarse, weathered quality.

"Don't you understand that your companion is an Undead?"

Tang Zheng looked at the Evileye, a troubled expression appearing on his face hidden under his hood.

Although it was anticipated from the beginning that without the support of an undead Class Construction, even with "Undead Control," it would be difficult to control for very long.

I just never expected the control period to be so short!

His Arcane System spellcasting level meets the requirements of the Tenth-Tier, and his level is higher than that of the Evileye.

The failure to control the situation can only be attributed to the individual's resistance.

"The only option left is a direct assault," Tang Zheng thought to himself.

The Innate Talent of the Evileye contained the Wild Magic "Soulbreaker Breath," which was also the reason the enemy was able to survive.

In theory, this Wild Magic should be in an activated state. Tang Zheng wanted to determine whether he could activate the skill's learning by touching the other party's body, thereby further activating his profession.

Who are you?!

Lakyus's voice grew even colder, his emerald green eyes filled with chill:

"How dare you attack my companion!"

"Oh?" Tang Zheng let out a strange laugh, seemingly somewhat surprised:

"So you all knew all along. I never imagined that the mighty adventurer party [Blue Roses] would have an Undead hidden within it. What a frightening discovery."

Upon hearing this!

Lakyus and the others' expressions grew even colder.

If this matter were to spread by the mysterious person in front of them, it would have a huge impact and cause great damage to their adventurer team.

"During the Abelion Hills Incident, it is said that a member of the [Zurrernorn], dressed in a red robe, disappeared after the leader was killed."

Suddenly, Evileye spoke, quite certain, "You're the [Zurrernorn] member who escaped, aren't you?"

Tang Zheng did not respond, but silence at this moment was itself an answer.

Lakyus's long, slightly wavy golden hair fluttered in the breeze as he signaled for the others to make their move.

"If they're targeting me, then they'll be my opponent."

The Evileye stepped forward, his face behind the ruby-white mask cold. "As a piece of advice—the weak must be aware of their weakness!"

The red cloak was lifted.

"Shard Buck Shots"

"Dragon Lightning"

Fist-sized Shard Buck Shots, like cannonballs, hurtled forward, colliding with the surging dragon-shaped lightning.

Boom!

A blinding blue flash of lightning shattered the Shard Buck Shots, turning it into dense fragments that scattered in all directions.

Swish--

At the same time, the figure of the Evileye had disappeared from everyone's sight and appeared behind Tang Zheng in an instant.

"Sand Realm - Individual!"

Evileye's cold voice rang out.

A magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Tang Zheng's feet, spewing out a large amount of sand. The dense yellow sand seemed to have a special stickiness, quickly forming a sand coffin that sealed Tang Zheng.

"It's over." The petite woman who Evileye stood calmly behind Tang Zheng, exuding an air of arrogance.

This magic not only restricts the opponent's movement, but also possesses a series of abilities such as silencing and Blindness. Once the opponent is bound, the outcome is already decided.

Seeing this, [Blue Roses] and the others smiled.

"As expected of Shorty." Gagaran put the broken hammer he was carrying on the ground and laughed heartily.

However!

puff.

A red sleeve emerged from the sand and quickly touched the body of the Evileye.

The expression on the face of the one Evileye changed instantly. He retreated immediately, creating distance again, and at the same time used magic to check the location that the other party had touched.

There was no trace of magic.

Was it the effect of the "Sand Field" that caused the opponent's magic to fail?

The first thing he did Evileye was to make sure there was nothing wrong with him, since no one in this world could be sure how many strange and wonderful kinds of magic existed.

Perhaps it was only left behind by the legendary Eight Greed Kings.

Only the [Nameless Spellbook], a magical artifact that automatically records all the magic in the world and surpasses all imagination, can reveal all the magic in the world.

Whoosh!

The yellow sand crawled.

Tang Zheng, who had been bound within the "Sand Field," easily emerged from the sand coffin.

It was like a phantom!

"I see, so you have Complete Movement Impediment Immunity." Evileye understood, because she also possessed this ability; it was, in a sense, a natural talent of this body.

The other party probably used some kind of magical item!

No wonder she broke free from the shackles of Ninjutsu so easily before. I thought it was because she used Teleportation magic, which is why she chose to use a magic that both restricts movement and silences.

"In that case!"

The plan to Evileye will be done in a different way. The opponent has control over mobility, so to quickly end the battle, we must restrict the opponent's mobility.

If "Sand Domain" doesn't work, then let's use "Region Petrification"!

The Evileye raised his hand.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Zheng suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"It's too late to call for a stop now; you've already provoked me!" the Evileye coldly replied.

"I was initially just curious about an Undead who had infiltrated the human population."

Tang Zheng spoke in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect him to be such a troublesome opponent. We can't waste any more time."

Just a reminder...

Tang Zheng took a step back, let out a cold laugh, and his entire body surged with magical power. "The monster is coming."

monster?

The Evileye.

Swish!

"Teleportation"

Tang Zheng's figure vanished instantly.

The scene shifted, and when the figure reappeared, Tang Zheng had already arrived at the boundary between the Great Forest of Tob and the Great Wetlands.

Tang Zheng stood on a thick branch of a lush tree, and with a thought in his mind, he brought up the Attribute Panel.

"Nothing was triggered?"

"Then we can only proceed with the second option; hopefully it won't fail."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, then relaxed again, muttering to himself.

And at this moment!

On the hill where the [Blue Roses] is located.

The five people reunited.

Swarms of Goblin were pouring in from below the hills, like a green ocean.

The commotion caused by the battle just now.

This attracted the attention of the Goblin below the hill.

"What just happened?" Gagaran asked, his face twitching as he sniffed the stench that filled the air.

"That [Zurrernorn] fellow mentioned that a monster is coming."

The man Evileye spoke, his voice tinged with displeasure. "Perhaps it was just a strategy to attract my attention and make it easier for me to escape."

"Gah!"

Tina yelled, "This isn't the time to discuss this! There are at least tens of thousands of Goblin. Should we retreat?"

Tia covered her mouth and nose and took a few steps back.

The weak Goblin could be dealt with easily, but their sheer numbers sent a chill down the spines of even the most powerful individuals.

Despicable, weak, and a bully who preys on the weak!

This is a synonym for Goblin. Under normal circumstances, as long as you show great strength, Goblin will scatter. However, the courage of Goblin is related to their numbers.

The sheer number of Goblin before us is something that killing a few dozen or a hundred would hardly deter.

"First, the Goblin' numbers are so suspiciously high."

"The presence of [Zurrernorn] members here again suggests that the Great Forest of Tob is indeed facing problems, just as the Adventurer's Guild predicted."

Lakyus had to raise his hand to cover his nose, but it was blocked by fingers, making a cute buzzing sound:

"Furthermore, haven't you noticed? The legendary Wise King of the Forest, who rules this place, has yet to appear."

Gagaran: "Too bad, that guy got away. Captain, should we retreat for now?"

The "monster" mentioned by the other party deserves our attention.

Lakyus glanced at the composed Evileye beside him and shook his head; she had no intention of abandoning the mission.

"Wow!!"

"Wow!!"

"Wow!!"

A cacophony of Goblin screams echoed through the jungle as they charged down the rolling hills toward [Blue Roses].

Seeing that the captain had no intention of retreating.

Gagaran and the others immediately assumed a fighting stance, but the next moment, the densely packed Goblin horde seemed to have been frozen in time, all stopping in place.

Even the sharp howl disappeared, leaving only silence!

Lakyus and Gagaran hadn't yet realized what was happening.

The entire body of the Evileye trembled uncontrollably, the pupils behind the ruby white mask exploded, and a chill rose from the toes to the top of the head.

"Escape!"

Gather here!

Suddenly, Evileye shouted wildly, grabbing Lakyus's arm with one hand and reaching for Gagaran with the other.

Tina and Tia, the two Ninja who are usually the fastest to react, were frozen in place, as if their bodies had been immobilized.

Buzz--

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like seawater surging down from above, like giant waves crashing against the minds of all living beings present.

Tens of thousands of Goblin collapsed like grass being cut down; some couldn't withstand the pressure and fell, while others were simply scared to death on the spot!

A huge shadow loomed over the forest.

A giant dragon, over 20 meters long with a wingspan of over 50 meters, appeared. Its entire body was crimson red and covered with scales resembling fish scales.

The terrifying Dragon Fear was unleashed without restraint, creating waves of pressure!

"A dragon... how could it be here!"

The voice of Evileye usually veiled Mieguo, now betrayed by the situation, became childish and its movements suddenly quickened as it dragged Lakyus and Gagaran towards Tina and the other two.

"Pass..."

As the Evileye was about to approach the Tina people, it activated a Teleportation spell.

Whoosh!

The dragon's figure appeared above the heads of the people who Evileye in an instant, and its long, thick red tail suddenly lashed down.

Boom!

The air in front of the dragon's tail was easily shattered, producing a piercing explosion.

"Too fast, too late!" Evileye's expression changed drastically; she was still some distance away from Tina and the other two.

"Crystal Wall!"

The Evileye forced them to abandon Teleportation magic and switch to defensive magic. If they continued Teleportation, they could only take the captain and two others away, Tina and the other two would inevitably be killed.

She can't abandon her companions!

Crystalline crystals instantly coalesced in front, forming a shield.

Boom!

"Click"

The thick dragon tail unleashed terrifying power, easily shattering the crystal shield, and a powerful impact swept over.

The entire [Blue Roses] was blasted away with a single blow!
