The Abyss Members' Excitement, Hope? Sword of Law
[Corpus of the Abyss] A hidden stronghold.
This place was once a small country called "Abas," built within mountains on three sides, but it was destroyed long ago by some unknown disaster.
The rise and fall of nations is a common occurrence on this continent.
The Inner Circle members gathered again!
Aside from "The Crimson-Eyed Duke" Kneur, who had to go to the "Dark Fortress" to contribute his painstakingly researched technology to that long-time, detestable bloodsucker.
The rest of the Inner Circle members have all gathered here.
A terrifying aura of Negative Energy emanated from the figures of these people, filling the space with a sense of oppression and inexplicable anticipation!
"Ready to go."
Do you need our assistance?
"Hmm, that's fine."
"However, we don't need too many people. I've already calculated that within a safe consumption range, it won't affect anyone. Five people will be enough."
"..."
The group exchanged a brief conversation.
"Abyss" Banezeri and three other Inner Circle members walked in from the outside and stood at the four corners of the "Magic Boost Ritual".
"Let's begin."
Abyss 'Banezeri pupils gleamed like blazing flames as he looked towards the "The Saintess of White" at the very center of the ceremony.
All eyes were now on this spot!
"An opportunity to reach higher levels!"
"Don't disappoint me. Legend has it that the ' Divine Realm ' transcends the mortal realm."
The "The Saintess of White's" scarlet pupils burned even hotter, and her wax-white skin and attire became even more terrifying under the influence of the pale blue light emanating from the magical ritual.
"Magic Boost - Tenth-Tier Magic - Summon Undead!"
The "The Saintess of White" spontaneously sang in a high-pitched voice, and the entire magical ritual suddenly radiated a rich light.
The next moment!
Banezeri and his companions, who were in the "Abyss" during the magical ritual, all felt a large amount of magic power being drained from their bodies.
Hmph--Hmph--
A chorus of muffled groans erupted.
It wasn't just the unprecedented and terrifying drain on magical energy, but also an indescribable mental pressure.
The cost of using a lower-level spellcasting ability to unleash a higher -Tier Magic is clearly not just the consumption of mana.
It's like the suffocating feeling of someone drowning!
They had only heard of "The Crimson-Eyed Duke," a fellow countryman who had once been alive, when he poured out his grievances about the various shortcomings of being alive.
These flaws piqued their curiosity, and some even studied them in detail, yet they could not truly experience them. After all, as Undead, they could not feel the so-called "pain" of the living.
Magic Ritual Center!
The pressure felt by the "The Saintess of White" was even more intense, yet the fire of her soul in her eyes burned even brighter.
That was the true nature of a realm that even with her talent, she could not reach!
A message appeared from the depths of my being.
"Elemental Skull!"
"The Saintess of White" rang out in an excited, shrill voice, involuntarily calling out the Undead monster she was about to summon.
She also sensed the ability to summon another kind of Undead, only that Undead seemed to be more powerful, requiring more pressure and consuming more magic power.
Whoosh!
With the appearance of the summoned creature, all the Inner Circle members present felt a pressure that seemed to come from the depths of their souls.
That was the mental suppression exerted by higher-level Undead on lower-level Undead, perhaps even more purely spiritual!
Elemental Skull (Lv. 68)!
A skull, the size of three human heads, enveloped in shimmering magical energy and radiating red, blue, green, and yellow magical light at all times, floated before the crowd.
A crisp "click" sound!
All the precious magical materials placed during the ceremony were reduced to dust, as if a large amount of fine debris was directly dispersed by the shockwave's Negative Energy.
No one paid attention to the consumption of these precious magical materials.
Pairs of scarlet eyes were all fixed on the Elemental Skull suspended in mid-air, some people subconsciously glancing away, not daring to look directly at it.
Bang!
The "The Saintess of White" swayed, staggered uncontrollably, and almost fell to the ground, but quickly used her staff to support herself.
It's unclear whether it was due to excessive mana consumption or the shock of the caster receiving information about the summoned creature's abilities.
"This, this..."
On the "The Saintess of White's " waxen, Zombie- like face, a rare, distorted emotional change appeared.
After the ceremony ended, Banezeri and the others from "Abyss" each took a step back, and the intense Negative Energy emanating from their bodies dissipated considerably.
The terrifying consumption of magic power caused each of them to lose more than 30% of their originally abundant magic power.
But!
The issue of mana consumption is clearly not the concern right now.
Abyss 'Banezeri two heads, one looking at the Elemental Skull and the other at the "The Saintess of White," spoke with anticipation and excitement, "How is it?"
None of the people present were weak!
Naturally, everyone could immediately sense the power and terror of the Elemental Skull; its shimmering, dazzling four-colored magical light allowed them to experience the ultimate truth of magic!
"It is Elemental Skull, an Undead being capable of unleashing the Four Elements magic attacks..."
The "The Saintess of White" steadied herself and excitedly began to describe the ability of this summoned monster.
Each item!
The astonishing Negative Energy emanating from the air caused it to vibrate slightly.
"Proceed to the next experiment."
"To further confirm that this is the power to summon monsters, we need to compare it with that despicable guy!"
"This is Undead monster summoned from the ' Divine Domain '!"
"No, the Elemental Skull is strong, that's undeniable, but I can sense that the other one is even stronger!"
"..."
A heated debate ensued.
The situation quickly calmed down, and "Abyss" Banezeri, "The Saintess of White," and others immediately began testing the Elemental Skull ' strength.
The result left everyone speechless!
"They're all ninth and Tenth-Tier magic... Am I dreaming?"
"This is incredible! Is this the legendary power that only gods can wield?!"
"If we're facing two Elemental Skull, even if all of us in the Inner Circle join forces, in the end... we'll probably only face annihilation."
Exhilaration and excitement rekindled in everyone's hearts; for the first time, they truly saw hope of defeating that guy.
"Relying solely on a Tenth-Tier Undead is not enough."
"Abyss" Banezeri's two heads shook involuntarily, and he had to pour cold water on it.
The air grew still.
"I'm not good at summoning techniques." The "The Saintess of White" paused for a moment, then looked at the "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies" on the other side.
Throughout the entire organization.
The opponent is the only one skilled in summoning magic and using specialized techniques.
pity.
Only the "The Saintess of White" has mastered the means of manipulating Eighth-Tier Magic, and only in her hands can the "Magic Boost Ritual" be brought to its fullest effect.
"Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies" is also Zombie -like Undead, looking like a skeleton covered only by a layer of dried skin.
"In Divine System magic, practitioners like Cleric have the ability to easily Dispel summoned creatures, so I've been honing my skills in this area for the past 200 years."
The hoarse, grating voice of "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies" rang out, its tone tinged with an uncontrollable fervor as it stared intently at the Elemental Skull, then continued:
"Conversely, if Divine System magic can Dispel summoned creatures, is it possible to use even stronger methods to directly gain control of the opponent's summoned creatures?"
"Hehe, this is the result of my nearly 100 years of dedicated research."
Pairs of scarlet eyes, flickering and leaping, looked at "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies," and the atmosphere became subtle yet intense.
"As expected of you, fellow countryman." "Abyss" Banezeri said with admiration.
"Since the ' Magic Boost Ritual ' is real, the mysterious Undead who exchanged it with us has also touched upon the realm of Eighth-Tier Magic."
The eerie voice of the "The Revenant of Yellow" echoed:
"So, the other side can also use the power of the ' Divine Domain ' through rituals. Is it possible for us to win them over?"
"Help us fight the guys hiding in the cave!"

July 2nd.
Inveria Kingdom
Tang Zheng, returning from Abelion Hills, once again entered the World Item [Two-Realm Mandala].
As the owner of this item.
Tang Zheng can freely enter and exit the two Alternate Space, the "Diamond Realm Mandala" and the "Womb Realm Mandala." He is unsure whether this situation exists in the "YGGDRASIL" game.
If it does not exist.
This is very likely a general ability that [Two-Realm Mandala] developed in New World.
Two vast, Alternate Space.
Tang Zheng was considering using it as his Daben, since it was inside World Item and therefore offered greater security.
Even if other World Item attempt to probe, it can be completely isolated!
Inside the "Diamond Realm Mandala".
[Experience Bar: 50.15 million/1.88 million]
Tang Zheng glanced at his Attribute Panel, panting. In the past eight days, the Experience Points he had previously consumed had been replenished.
Tick-tock~
Sweat rolled down his cheeks.
Tang Zheng raised his hand, took out a towel, wiped the sweat from his face, and waved his arms at the Zouchouten in front of him.
With a "bang".
Zouchouten paused in his forward charge, sheathed his weapon, and returned to the wall beneath the lotus-patterned carvings, transforming back into a stone statue.
"While the skills are rigid, the techniques are indeed far beyond my current level."
Tang Zheng exhaled a breath of stale air, took out his water bag, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then relaxed and sat down on the spacious, pure white stone floor.
During this period of time.
After Tang Zheng discovered that he could freely enter and exit the [Two-Realm Mandala], he used the Four Heavenly Kings inside to train his combat skills.
Opponents of this caliber are hard to find, and they pose no danger whatsoever, especially in a battle against Zouchouten.
He could clearly sense the improvement in his close-combat skills!
"The Holy Kingdom is quite sensible."
Tang Zheng recently taught Evileye the Magic Reinforcement "Magic Boost," which enabled Evileye, who possessed the "Teleportation" magic, to use the Seventh-Tier "Greater Teleportation."
They returned to "Ye Rantil" in the Kingdom of Ri Yestize.
Since arriving in the Inveria Kingdom.
On the surface, they had been away from the Kingdom for over a month.
Using the pretext of teaching Evileye "Magic Boost Ritual," he returned to the Kingdom of Ri Yestize, allowing the sentimental Evileye reunite with the members of [Blue Roses].
Tang Zheng also returned to Abelion Hills.
The "infusion potion" transaction between the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy has been completed, and the Verdant Leaf Witch handled it well.
Tang Zheng returned to the Abelion Hills primarily to obtain research data from the Slane Theocracy regarding the "Frogman's Egg" and the experiment involving the integration of Angel.
This had already been agreed upon back in the Slane Theocracy, after all, how could Tang Zheng, as an individual, compare to the level of a nation when it came to research!
This was something he hadn't expected.
The Holy Kingdom has actually sent a very generous gift!
He gifted Enri one of the Four Holy Swords, the Sword of Law, a Holy Sword capable of resisting the effects of mental magic or other magical influences.
"With this Holy Sword, Enri's strength has also increased."
Tang Zheng smiled gently.
Magical items with effects like the Holy Sword are of little use to him, but as one of the "Four Holy Swords," which are even more famous than national treasures.
Tang Zheng was quite satisfied with the fact that the Holy Kingdom was willing to give him one as a gift.
"The Frogman's Egg does indeed have some problems; its effectiveness is limited when used on high-level summoned monsters."
Tang Zheng picked up the water bag placed to the side again, took a sip of water, and kept flipping through the research materials sent by the Slane Theocracy in his hand.
A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"Is it a mixture of multiple ' Frogman's Egg '?" Tang Zheng frowned slightly.
The research findings of the Slane Theocracy indicate that a single "Frogman's Egg" has a limited effect on high-ranking Angel, although its impact is less pronounced when applied to lower-ranking Angel.
But it still doesn't last as long as an infant's integration into existence.
As a result, the Slane Theocracy developed a magical method that could nurture multiple "Frogman's Egg" with holy magic, disguising them as a single entity and integrating them into Angel.
This method can increase the duration of the Angel's existence!
"Oh."
Tang Zheng looked at the rather vague information in his hand and sneered, "The people of the Slane Theocracy haven't given up on the method of incubating infants after all."
"This technique of incorporating multiple Frogman's Egg is probably only used on low-ranking Angel."
splash-
Tang Zheng put down the information he had obtained, his eyes remaining calm.
There are many things to do next.
The most important thing is to bring about a conflict between the [Corpus of the Abyss] and that mysterious Dragon Lords as soon as possible.
Tang Zheng's attitude towards the [Corpus of the Abyss] is to "utilize" them. This organization, composed entirely of Undead, is clearly a big gift to Bone Lord in the future.
On the contrary, it is that mysterious Dragon Lords who Tang Zheng needs to win over!
"In short, we need to squeeze every last drop of value out of this organization before the real battle begins."
Tang Zheng silently pondered his next plan. He had about two years left, and he needed to obtain a high-level profession from the Dragon Race as soon as possible.
