A powerful, divine energy rippled across the sky!

A vast number of Angel filled this space; describing them as "covering up the sky and blotting out the sun" would be an exaggeration, but their expressive power was certainly eye-catching.

This is an extremely powerful special-class Tenth-Tier magic. Regardless of the cost and usage limits, it can still serve as a means of restraint even against Player at level 100.

pity.

Tang Zheng was the only one in this space. If this were in New World New World, just the fact that ordinary people witnessed this magic would be enough for them to call the spellcaster a "god".

The Angel, radiating Holy Light, were attacked by the Red Flood Dragon Serpent, and all the Neutral Angel sprang into action!

Boom!

Boom!

Holy beams of light and magical attacks transformed into streaks of light, bombarding the Red Flood Dragon Serpent and the six crimson pythons, causing them to collide instantly.

One glance!

The level 10 Angel Guardian were mostly lost, but they were replaced by more powerful Angel.

The dense horde of Angel clashed fiercely with a group of crimson serpents led by Red Flood Dragon Serpent, their hissing and roaring echoing through the sky.

The scene was magnificent, like a battle of gods!

The three level 64 summoned by Tang Zheng using normal magic— the Judgment Throne Angel, Cerberus, and the Blizzard Elemental Spirit —simultaneously attacked Koumokuten, Summoner.

[HP:1125/1125·MP:395/918]

With each spell cast, his magic power had dropped to less than half.

For Magic Caster, magic power is their lifeline, making this a very dangerous situation, but it's nothing to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng stood in mid-air, gazing at the Zouchouten charging towards him again from afar. He raised his chin, his gaze icy. "In terms of level, I am indeed much weaker than you."

"But one"

"In terms of both numbers and methods, my fighting style is far more diverse than yours!"

A white light surged from Tang Zheng's body, and he uttered a low shout, "Soul of the Heroic Spirit!"

A burst of light appeared.

Then it slowly transformed into a normal human size, with a straight posture very similar to Tang Zheng, except that its entire body was dyed white, even its pupils were a hazy white.

"Soul of the Heroic Spirit - First Transformation!"

Tang Zheng expressionless and calmly issued the instructions.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit, originally the size of a normal human, rapidly expanded in size, resembling a resurrected giant creature, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a translucent white dragon, twenty meters tall.

Its magnificent and massive body stretched freely in mid-air, with a pair of dragon wings spread out, each nearly fifty meters long!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit cannot make a sound, but in this form, the silence gives it an even stronger impact. "Second Transformation!" Tang Zheng's lips curled up.

Brush!

A pale red mist emanated from its pure white body surface, and crimson Body Armament condensed from the surface of the Soul of the Heroic Spirit Dragon, rapidly covering its entire body.

Just moments ago, the image of a pure white dragon was holy; in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a crimson dragon, several times larger!

Unlike magic and normal skills.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit completely inherited the abilities of "Golden Dragon Lord Transformation" and "Body Armament"!

This may be related to the characteristics of the Soul of the Heroic Spirit itself—it is entirely based on the user's image, and inherits the weaponry and ability stats of the appearance.

Just like the Soul of the Heroic Spirit summoned by Shalltear, they also appear to be wearing armor.

but.

This comes at a cost: the Soul of the Heroic Spirit's health drops by 30%, which is the health cost of two skills.

It seems so.

Losing 30% of your health before even engaging in combat is not a good strategy; the actual gains would have been greater.

Transforming into "Dragon Lord Form" will trigger a series of passive abilities for [Dragonic Overlord]. For example, "Golden Dragon Scale Enhancement" will not only increase physical and magical resistance by 15%, but also grant immunity to critical hit damage.

Furthermore, skills such as "Claw Strike, Wings, and Enhancement" will further increase one's attack power!

The overall values appear unchanged.

However, its attack power has increased significantly, coupled with further protection from "Body Armament".

Its true strength actually exceeds that of a human.

Boom!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit flapped its dragon wings, and its massive form transformed into a crimson afterimage, colliding with the Zouchouten.

"Greed Slash!"

The Giant Flame Sword slashed at the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, leaving a mark on the surface of its orange-red armor.

Whoosh!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit twisted its lower body, and its thick dragon tail suddenly lashed out, emitting a piercing crack in the air.

A loud "bang" followed.

Zouchouten dragon's tail strike knocked the creature back, but due to its damage reduction buff, it didn't take much damage.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit clashed once more with the Zouchouten!

The intense collision and roar were far more powerful than the battle between the numerous Angel and summoned creatures and Koumokuten. "The Shadow Clone were destroyed earlier, and since less than an hour has passed, the Soul of the Heroic Spirit will have to take over for now."

Tang Zheng did not participate in the battle. He knew that physical attacks had very limited effect on Zouchouten, and summoning the Soul of the Heroic Spirit was only to give him time to recover.

"Mana Fast Recovery!" Tang Zheng activated the skill.

This is a method of mana restoration that doesn't even exist in "YGGDRASIL".

The only downside is that it can only be used once a day, and you cannot move or fight while activating this skill.

Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom!

In view, the two Heavenly Kings were engaged in fierce battles.

Zouchouten, wielding a flaming longsword, displayed astonishing combat skills.

Koumokuten continued to cast summoning spells, even using enhancement techniques to increase the strength of the summoned monsters.

Tang Zheng carefully observed the battle between the two Heavenly Kings, not only to gather intelligence but also to learn their fighting methods.

after all.

The chances of encountering a battle of this caliber before the Great Tomb of Nazarick descends are likely to be extremely limited!

"The Soul of the Heroic Spirit is an artificial construct similar to Golem, no, it cannot be entirely regarded as Golem."

Tang Zheng stared ahead, lost in thought.

Since the Soul of the Heroic Spirit are not living beings, Healing Magic like "Greater Healing" cannot restore their Soul of the Heroic Spirit.

Tang Zheng remembered that the Soul of the Heroic Spirit were similar to artificial beings like Golem in terms of their design, and such artificial beings required special "repair" methods if they were damaged.

"I wonder if magic or skills that can repair Golem exist in New World."

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind as he Calmness observed the fighting techniques of the two Heavenly Kings.

Half an hour passed quickly!

Zouchouten (58%)

Koumokuten (45%)

The fighting style of the Soul of the Heroic Spirit is entirely physical, so their damage to Zouchouten is quite limited.

Only Koumokuten, facing the magical attack of a large number of summoned creatures, saw his health bar decrease further, but the summoned creatures had already been almost completely destroyed.

Only one level 70 Angel remains to fight the Red Flood Dragon Serpent!

Both summoned creatures looked extremely pitiful.

The level 70 Angel had three broken wings and its entire body was charred black, while the Red Flood Dragon Serpent was covered in large and small pits and wounds, with blood sizzling out continuously!

The situation was equally bad for the Soul of the Heroic Spirit; their Body Armament was badly damaged, revealing their pure white bodies.

[HP:1125/1125·MP:854/918]

Tang Zheng's shoulders trembled, and he withdrew from the state of magic recovery.

"Should we deal with Koumokuten first?"

Looking at the health bars of the two Heavenly Kings, Koumokuten seemed easier to deal with.

"Okay, let's first check if the damage from the previous magic has lessened." Tang Zheng made up his mind and chose to release a spell to test it. "Warming!"

Boom!

The expanding, high-temperature airwaves quickly swept across the surroundings, and the already severely injured level 70 Angel instantly turned to ashes and vanished.

Aside from being thrown a distance by the shockwave, the Red Flood Dragon Serpent was not seriously injured.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit, possessing Tang Zheng's passive resistance, was also unaffected.

Zouchouten (56%)

Koumokuten (43%)

"The damage has indeed been reduced, only dealing 2% damage. Both of these Royal Capital gained fire resistance."

Tang Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly, surprised that the two Heavenly Kings could increase their resistance based on the damage they had suffered.

We need to switch to offensive magic!

"Snake Swarm Surge"

A blue magic circle appeared on the ground, and six level 50 crimson pythons crawled out of it.

"Snake Scale Resonance"

Koumokuten raised his palm and looked at the giant crimson finger opposite him.

Enveloped in golden light, the crimson python transformed into a ball of golden energy, flying into the body of the Red Flood Dragon Serpent in the air.

The next moment!

The Red Flood Dragon Serpent's entire body shimmered with golden light, and its seemingly severe injuries had miraculously healed.

"Take care of Koumokuten first!" Tang Zheng decided on the target to be dealt with first.

The scroll "Armageddon) " has appeared!

This time, instead of using one scroll, they took out both of the remaining scrolls!

The scroll was broken.

Boom-Boom-

Two bright, holy beams of light shot into the sky, their intense holy energy momentarily overwhelming the golden light above.

Numerous Angel with flapping wings appeared in the sky, blocking the path of the Red Flood Dragon Serpent.

"Teleportation"

Tang Zheng's figure vanished from his original spot in an instant, appearing behind Koumokuten:

"Chain Dragon Lightning!"

With a "click".

A blue bolt of lightning pierced the air and exploded behind Koumokuten.

"Villain!" Koumokuten (42%) roared angrily, turning his body and glancing at the snake-shaped magical artifact that seemed to be alive, which was perched on his shoulder.

"Snake Bind!"

Tang Zheng paused for a moment, then immediately resumed his movements, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he began to chant softly again:

"Chain Wind Dragon!"

Whoosh!

The spinning dragon-shaped hurricane, like a drill, struck Koumokuten (41%)'s chest, exploding in front of him to form shattered wind blades.

"Lightning dealt 2% damage, while wind dealt only 1%."

A thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he chanted again:

"Chain Earth Dragon!"

A large number of brownish-gray stones appeared out of thin air, then quickly coalesced together and violently crashed forward.

A muffled "thump" sounded.

Koumokuten (38%)'s massive size forced him to take a step back.

"Chain Water Dragons!"

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he switched to water-attribute magic to attack again, but this time the result was not ideal.

Like the Wind type, Water-type attacks deal the least damage to the Elite Four!

Only earth-attribute damage is the highest.

Tang Zheng cast several elemental attack spells in succession to determine the element that would deal the most damage.

"Your sins are all falsehoods!"

Koumokuten suddenly roared, and a fierce golden light erupted from his entire body.

In particular, the snake-shaped magic item that was perched on her shoulder also opened its mouth and spat out a small snake.

In an instant!

The small snake rapidly expanded and transformed into a Azure Flood Dragon Snake (80Lv) that looked almost identical to the Red Flood Dragon Serpent snake, except for its color.

Acid Rainfall

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

The Azure Flood Dragon Snake coiled its body, emitting a faint azure light, and raindrops carrying a strong sour smell immediately began to fall on Tang Zheng's head.

"Teleportation"

Tang Zheng used magic to disappear from his spot, avoiding the range of the acid rain's attack.

"Another level 80 monster!"

"Summon a high-strength monster for every 20% decrease in health bar?"

Tang Zheng appeared a hundred meters away, his face darkening. "When facing Summoner, it's indeed most important to prioritize eliminating the spellcaster."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Azure Flood Dragon Snake and the five crimson pythons quickly turned their heads to look at Tang Zheng's location, and then charged again.

But!

A large number of Angel descended from mid-air, once again blocking the summoned monsters.

The whole scene became extremely chaotic!

Tang Zheng stared intently at Koumokuten, the summoner, his feet planted firmly on the ground as he approached, chanting as he went:

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Chain Earth Dragon!"

Boom!

Koumokuten (34%) was knocked back a step by the earth dragon made of heavy stones. He hurriedly commanded his summoned creatures to try to break free from the Angel's obstruction and focus on dealing with Tang Zheng.

"Teleportation"

Tang Zheng's figure flashed, appearing out of thin air behind Koumokuten. The moment he stood still, another magical attack descended:

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Chain Earth Dragon!"

Koumokuten (30%) was knocked to his knees. Before he could turn around, a shadow landed on his shoulder.

"Fourfold Slash of Light - Break Through!"

Tang Zheng swung the Frost Pain, and a flash of cold light exploded in mid-air, striking the snake-shaped magic item on Koumokuten's shoulder.

Snap!

The snake-shaped magic item was knocked down, Koumokuten's buff immediately disappeared.

Now!

"Fourfold Slash of Light - Break Through!" Tang Zheng stood on Koumokuten's shoulder, found the exposed neck of the opponent, and swung down heavily.

Bang!

The instant the Frost Pain touched Koumokuten's skin, a powerful current of air was generated and dispersed!

"Instant Reflection!"

A blue light emanated from Tang Zheng's body as he readjusted his stance. With a flick of his wrist, he roared again, "Fourfold Slash of Light - Break!"

Another muffled thud!

Koumokuten's (17%) health bar was reduced by 13%, and at this moment, the dropped snake-shaped magic item returned to Koumokuten.

Buzz-

A flash of golden light trembled.

A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from Koumokuten's body, his golden eyes turned crimson, and his purplish-gold scales...

A serpentine phantom appeared.

Boom!

Tang Zheng was blasted into the air by the shockwave, flying backwards before landing heavily on the ground and sliding for ten meters before coming to a stop.
