With the resurrection of the two colorful stone statues.

The golden light that enveloped the sky brightened noticeably by several degrees, and a faint, ethereal image appeared on the lotus pattern in the center of the hall.

In that instant!

The once deserted square has been completely brought to life.

"Reduces physical damage by 90%?"

Tang Zheng's eyes widened when he saw the information appearing above Zouchouten and Koumokuten's heads. "Are you kidding me? How are Warrior- type Player supposed to fight this?"

Bang! Bang!

The massive figures of Zouchouten and Koumokuten, each over 5 meters tall, stepped forward simultaneously, causing the entire ground to tremble and an overwhelming sense of oppressive power to surge forth.

Looking at the two angry-looking Heavenly Kings in front of him, who resembled legendary gods, Tang Zheng suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were playing a game and fighting against a game boss from the protagonist's perspective.

However!

Playing games is completely different from facing real-life situations.

Tang Zheng tensed up instinctively. With such high damage reduction and no intelligence, a direct confrontation was the worst option.

In games, you get a chance to revive; in real life, you don't!

Use magic to launch long-range attacks!

Tang Zheng instantly determined his strategy, stomped the ground hard, and retreated again while activating the [Ninja] skill.

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone!"

The shadow is wriggling!

Tang Zheng and his Shadow Clone flashed and simultaneously retreated, creating enough distance between themselves and the two Four Heavenly Kings in front of them.

The hall is quite spacious and has a certain tactical depth.

The Zouchouten, his entire body azure, glared fiercely, drew a longsword gleaming with red light, and unleashed a holy roar:

"Your greed, anger, and ignorance shall be severed today!"

"Your sins are all falsehoods!"

Koumokuten was entirely red, and the crimson snakes that had previously resembled ribbons on his body had come to life, coiling and slithering around his shoulders.

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng had no interest in listening to the slogans shouted by the two Four Heavenly Kings at the moment. He took out the "Frogman Egg" from the Item Box and threw it at the Shadow Clone.

This allows it to exist for a longer period of time!

The Shadow Clone completely inherited his MP stat, so the initial mana consumption was handled by the Shadow Clone.

[Movie MP: 883/918]

"Tenth-Tier - Warming!" The Shadow Clone activated the magic first.

Tang Zheng naturally had no intention of waiting for the other party to make the first move.

Boom--!

In an instant!

Centered on the Shadow Clone, the air within a radius of tens of meters instantly turned pure crimson, and indescribable light and heat expanded instantly, generating a huge shockwave that exploded with a deafening roar.

A terrifying shockwave, carrying temperatures of over a thousand degrees, engulfed the two Heavenly Kings in an instant!

The moment Tang Zheng activated the Shadow Clone's magic, he closed his eyes to prevent it from obstructing his vision.

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

Two angry roars came from the direction of the two Heavenly Kings.

The blinding red light vanished in an instant.

Tang Zheng quickly opened his eyes and looked ahead. The terrifying heat distorted the air, making the two enormous figures, each over 5 meters tall, appear slightly blurry.

The first thing to look at is naturally the health bar!

Tang Zheng needed to determine the damage value caused by this attack spell.

The red, illusory health bars above the two Heavenly Kings' heads had a small gap, about 1%.

"The damage is so low?" Tang Zheng's expression suddenly turned ugly.

This is Tenth-Tier magic!

The difference in levels between the two sides resulted in a bonus to the opponent's stats.

Thump! Thump!

Zouchouten a crimson longsword, Zengzhangtian's enormous blue figure suddenly began to run, displaying speeds far exceeding his physical size.

"Greed Slash"

A red longsword was swung.

A golden Slash Strike, faintly imbued with the character for "greed," approached from afar.

[Movie MP: 873/918]

"Fifth-Tier Magic - Wall of Skeleton!" The Shadow Clone reacted swiftly.

Whoosh!

A wall made of numerous white bones rapidly rose from the ground, with the skeletons emitting terrifying roars from within it.

Boom!

The Slash Strike landed, Wall of Skeleton shattered instantly.

"Three Crimson Pythons"

At this moment Koumokuten also activated his skill, and suddenly three magic circles appeared in front of him.

Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~

Three crimson pythons, each over ten meters long, burst out of the magic circle and slithered rapidly toward Tang Zheng and his companion.

"One is Warrior, and the other is Summoner Class?"

Upon seeing the attack methods of the two Heavenly Kings, Tang Zheng had this thought flash through his mind and temporarily confirmed the basic information.

Boom!

Zouchouten his longsword in hand, Zengzhangtian had broken through the obstacle of the Wall of Skeleton and was now within arm's reach. He raised his sword again and swung it.

"Spread!"

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he gave the order in his mind.

The Shadow Clone, inheriting the full agility stat, immediately moved to the other side.

"Wrath Slash"

Zouchouten's icy gaze immediately fixed on the Shadow Clone, and at the same moment, he swung his longsword in the direction the Shadow Clone was moving.

An attack with golden "anger" characters flowing across it flew out!

[Movie MP: 863/918]

"Wall of Skeleton!" The Shadow Clone activated the magic again.

The white skeletons that rose from the ground formed a wall that once again blocked the attack.

It must be said that this magic, as a means of defense, has extremely high value, both in terms of its mana consumption and its practicality.

They witnessed the Zouchouten Heavenly Being's Shadow Clone chasing after him.

"As expected, Zouchouten attacked the Shadow Clone that was causing magical damage first, ignoring me, the individual who hadn't attacked at all."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. "Then, the Zouchouten should be able to be affected by 'drawing hatred'."

I glanced at the Attribute Panel.

Tang Zheng noticed that the skills used by the two Heavenly Kings were not displayed on the panel, and subconsciously frowned slightly.

Hiss--!

The three giant crimson snakes did not pursue the Shadow Clone; instead, they surged towards Tang Zheng.

"As Summoner Class, wasn't Koumokuten affected by the Shadow Clone ' attack 'aggro'?"

Seeing the three giant crimson snakes, Tang Zheng did not retreat any further, because he had already retreated to the very edge of the entire square.

What appears to be empty space behind is actually something resembling a wall.

Give the Shadow Clone another command!

[Movie MP: 798/918]

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough - Tenth-Tier - Warming!"

--boom!

Intense light and heat once again enveloped the field of vision, and a fiery red light instantly covered the entire square, spreading a terrifying shockwave.

Splash!

The impact not only blasted back the Zouchouten that had rushed towards the Shadow Clone, but also sent the three giant crimson snakes flying.

A mournful screech rang out!

Under the terrifying attack of high temperatures.

The scales of the three giant crimson snakes had turned charred black, and they writhed in agony, yet they were not dead.

Tang Zheng and his Shadow Clone, who possessed "Fire Immunity," were naturally unaffected.

Tang Zheng's sharp gaze swept over the two Heavenly Kings' health bars. This time, they had lost nearly 2%, with Koumokuten losing even more health.

"We've got a pretty good idea of it."

A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he mentally issued new instructions.

Since the Zouchouten can draw aggro, let the Shadow Clone continuously use "Teleportation" and "Wall of Skeleton" for movement and defense.

Tang Zheng focused on dealing with Koumokuten.

"Teleportation"

The Shadow Clone activated its magic and Teleportation to the furthest corner diagonally opposite the plaza.

"Roar!"

Zouchouten a crimson longsword, Zengzhangtian roared and turned around, charging towards the direction of his Shadow Clone.

The plan has succeeded!

Tang Zheng's gaze immediately locked onto Koumokuten, and at that moment, the three giant red snakes with charred skin charged forward again.

"Heh, you don't have a buff that reduces physical damage by 90%!" Tang Zheng sneered, stomped his foot on the ground and rushed out, reaching out to grab at the void.

A weapon, shimmering in ice blue as if forged entirely from the cold, was drawn out.

Lizardman Arcane Treasure: Frost Pain!

This weapon is restricted to use only by "Lizardman and Upper Species," so Tang Zheng couldn't use it before and could only keep it as a collectible.

but.

Since acquiring the [Dragonic Overlord] class, the weapon's limitations have been removed, which is an unexpected surprise.

After all, that Magic Greatsword was already riddled with cracks, its durability had been severely compromised, and it was nearly unusable.

A figure flashed!

Tang Zheng, clad in crimson armor, appeared before the three giant snakes. Before they could launch an attack, a surge of black energy erupted from his body.

"Dark Wave!"

The energy spread, and the three giant crimson snakes froze in place, unable to move.

"These three giant snakes are probably around level 50."

Tang Zheng sensed the Life Intensity of the three giant snakes, his gaze icy Frost Pain in his hand, a sharp white glint flashing across his face.

Three snake heads shot into the sky!

Koumokuten seemed enraged, and roared majestically, "Your sins are all falsehoods!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three crimson giant snakes that had been dealt with vanished into thin air, but a beam of light shot out from their corpses at the same time.

"Any other effects?"

Tang Zheng looked surprised and quickly retreated.

However, these three beams of light were extremely fast, or rather, impossible to dodge, and landed on Tang Zheng almost instantly.

Three serpentine phantoms coiled around Tang Zheng's body, forming a series of runes with a triple effect of imprisonment, fear, and weakness.

Almost at the same time!

Zouchouten, who was originally chasing the Shadow Clone, suddenly stopped and disappeared from the spot.

A shadow fell over Tang Zheng.

"You sinner!"

Zouchouten, wielding a crimson greatsword, appeared before Tang Zheng as if by teleportation, the blade slicing through the air before slashing down heavily.

They are affected by negative states such as "fear" and "weakness".

Tang Zheng experienced a brief moment of disorientation, but thanks to his passive "Body of Divine Protection" ability, he quickly regained his senses.

Bang!

The heavy sword fell, crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

Tang Zheng had already dodged, possessing the ability to "Movement Obstruction Nullification," so the negative status effect of being imprisoned had no effect on him.

However!

Just as Tang Zheng dodging, Zouchouten suddenly reappeared in front of him, leaving him no choice but to dodge again.

"This kind of attack method..."

Tang Zheng noticed the three serpentine phantoms coiling around his body. "Is it some kind of mechanism?"

Since that's the case!

"The Guided Oath of Redemption!"

Tang Zheng activated the [Valkyrie] skill, his entire body radiating a soft white light.

He rarely uses this skill because it requires the opponent to attack him first, then he has to force the skill to pass the assessment.

Previously, no one had been able to make Tang Zheng use this skill!

The three serpentine phantoms coiled around his body twisted and turned under the effect of the skill, as if unwillingly turning into specks of light and dissipating!

The strange pursuit of the Zouchouten Stem paused at this moment. It looked up at Tang Zheng, who was closest to it, and then ran off.

This time, there was no teleportation-like attack!

"It really is a combination mechanism!" Tang Zheng's gaze was deep, and after a brief moment of surprise, he felt it was normal.

It's nothing more than the same old game mechanics.

"The 'hatred' seems to have been cleared; the only solution is to have the Shadow Clone rekindle it."

Zouchouten was not attacking the Shadow Clone but instead attacking him, Tang Zheng realized that "hatred was refreshed" and prepared to manipulate the Shadow Clone to cast a spell.

Suddenly!

A flash of golden light enveloped the sky, and Tang Zheng and his Shadow Clone froze in place, unable to move.

No, it's a stop!

The entire space fell into an eerie state of stillness, like a magical effect of "Time Stop".

However.

The two Heavenly Kings, Zouchouten Koumokuten, remained completely unaffected, their cold gazes fixed on Tang Zheng and his Shadow Clone, but they did not launch an attack.

Space distortion!

Tang Zheng continued his retreat, his eyes fixed on the front, constantly watching for Zouchouten's next move.

Suddenly!

Tang Zheng's pupils contracted; the images of Koumokuten in front of him and Koumokuten at the rear had changed.

The position of the Zouchouten changed to a heavenly king with a snow-white face, holding a magical artifact shaped like a pipa.

The spot where Koumokuten was previously located has been replaced by a Heavenly King with a green face and holding a long-handled umbrella-shaped magical artifact.

Jikokuten (Level 85) -90% spell damage

Tamonten (Lv. 85) -90% spell damage

The surrounding environment has also changed subtly. The most obvious change is that the lotus pattern in the center of the hall has disappeared and been replaced by a square pattern.

Tang Zheng's face turned green upon seeing this; he immediately knew what had happened.

He originally thought he would need to deal with the two Heavenly Kings first, and then the other two Heavenly Kings, but he didn't expect that the battle would switch roles so easily.

"Tenth-Tier Magic: Warming!"

The Shadow Clone continued to cast magic as Tang Zheng had instructed.

Boom!

Terrifyingly high temperatures raged, crimson light enveloped the entire space, and fierce winds swept in all directions.

The two heavenly kings, Jikokuten Tamonten, did not lose any of the lines on the top of their heads, except for a brief sway.

"This time it reduces magic damage by 90%!"

Tang Zheng gritted his teeth. Magical attacks could no longer harm the two Heavenly Kings in front of him, not to mention that he had not mastered Super-Tier Magic.

The existence of Shadow Clone is now useless!

"Hey, hey, you guys are giving me a real headache!" Tang Zheng gripped the Frost Pain hand.

There must be some kind of mechanism behind the switching between Heavenly Kings, which he can't figure out yet. But switching opponents directly during battle like this will only become more and more disadvantageous for him the longer it drags on.

"If magic attacks don't work, then let's use physical methods!"

Tang Zheng's eyes hardened. Since the Shadow Clone were useless, he would take matters into his own hands.

He doesn't plan to use the "Soul of the Heroic Spirit" at the moment!

"Limit Breaker!"

"Ability Boost!"

"Greater Ability Boost!"

"Strengthen Perception!"

"Gale Acceleration!"

"Windstride!"

"Focus Battle Aura!"

Tang Zheng spoke in a low voice, and a strong aura gradually surged from his body. His head felt slightly throbbing, but he was not affected.
