Summon: Cerberus! Countermeasures
Like a rapidly shooting arrow, Zesshi Zetsumei revealed a morbid and cruel smile, instantly closing the distance of several dozen meters between them.
Hiss!
The Cross-Spear War Scythe drew an arc in the air, its sharp blade tearing through the air. Like an illusion, a black shadow flashed by, slashing straight at Tang Zheng's neck!
To deal with a Magic Caster, simply closing the distance is enough!
I originally thought it was just a toy to pass the time.
result.
It was an unexpected surprise, which, according to the "Divine Words" left behind by the Six Great Gods, is roughly the meaning of "blind box".
But a toy is still just a toy.
Even if he could resolve the "Four Elements" in an instant, the guy in front of him probably still wouldn't be able to comprehend the power of a higher dimension.
This is not arrogance!
Rather, it's a testament to long-standing confidence and understanding!
"What secret is hidden here? I'm really looking forward to it!" Zesshi Zetsumei's heterochromatic eyes grew brighter and more cruel.
"Reverse Gravity"
Tang Zheng began to chant softly, and the air in front of him briefly distorted.
Zesshi Zetsumei suddenly felt his whole body become heavy, and his forward lunge and weapon attacks were affected and altered by this sudden gravity.
Movement speed has slowed down!
The Cross-Spear War Scythe was accelerated by gravity, causing the blade to glide just past Tang Zheng's nose.
Bang! Bang!
His black ankle boots slammed heavily on the ground, sinking slightly, while the exaggerated black blade of the Cross-Spear War Scythe easily pierced the ground as if cutting through butter.
The magic of changing weight!
Zesshi Zetsumei Shi Jue Ming raised his long, thin eyebrows; he had never seen them before.
The attack missed?
It wasn't surprising, considering she hadn't even used any Martial Arts; this attack was more of a test.
Facing opponents like Warrior.
The methods Magic Caster uses to deal with this are simply to create distance or use defensive magic. The Blackie's method of increasing weight can also be classified as defensive.
but?
What's going on with this reaction speed?!
Zesshi Zetsumei Ming was a little surprised. She had observed very clearly that the Blackie's spellcasting time was just right.
This kind of reaction speed shouldn't even be seen in a magic chanter!
"Strengthen Magic Resistance!"
With a mind focused on Zesshi Zetsumei, he instantly analyzed the information gathered from the brief exchange and immediately activated his Martial Arts.
A flash of blue light!
Zesshi Zetsumei from the effects of "Reverse Gravity," Zesshi sneered and swung his Cross-Spear War Scythe at the ground without raising his weapon.
Instead!
Following the force of her arm slashing the ground and the effect of the gravity magic she had just used, she swung her slender arm in a circle.
If a normal Warrior's attack misses and the weapon hits the ground, they need to raise their arm to pick the weapon up again.
This is normal behavior.
But in Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes, it was a bit of a waste of time.
Even if this time difference is pitifully short, in a battle, being able to attack faster than your opponent might determine the outcome directly!
Certainly!
The reason he could use his strength to spin his weapon around the ground was because the Cross-Spear War Scythe in his hand was the weapon of "Surshana," one of the Six Great Gods and the savior of mankind.
Its sharpness cut through the ordinary muddy ground beneath our feet as effortlessly as slicing butter with a hot knife—no, as effortlessly as cleaving through the air.
"Flow Acceleration"
"Triple Slash"
"Greater Slash Strike"
The already incredibly fast movements of Zesshi Zetsumei were taken to an even higher level. Her slender arms and Cross-Spear War Scythe vanished into thin air due to the sheer speed of her attacks—whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!
Three black bolts of lightning formed and slashed towards Tang Zheng!
"It's over!"
Zesshi Zetsumei stared at Tang Zheng, who seemed to have no time to react, a smile playing on his lips, tinged with disappointment.
At such close range, the opponent has no chance to dodge, and doesn't even have time to cast a spell.
Within sight.
Tang Zheng clearly observed the three Slash Strike that disappeared into the air, and out of the corner of his eye, he even caught Zesshi Zetsumei's victorious smile.
ha?
This level is still not enough.
"Silent Magic Casting Conversion - Tenth-Tier Magic - Cerberus"
The mouth did not open.
Boom!
A massive black figure materialized between Tang Zheng and Zesshi Zetsumei; the rapidly expanding demonic beast instantly swelled within the narrow space between them.
As the summoner, Tang Zheng was naturally unaffected.
Zesshi Zetsumei felt his vision instantly enveloped by a dark shadow, and then his body was uncontrollably thrown away.
Bang!
A figure in black and white flew out, its short boots leaving a trail nearly a hundred meters long on the ground.
"Cough!"
The tightness in his chest Zesshi Zetsumei gasp for breath, and he involuntarily coughed violently.
Tick-tock~
A drop of bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth and bloomed on the Zesshi Zetsumei back of his hand.
"Injured?" The thought popped into Zesshi Zetsumei's mind, and her pupils dilated slightly.
It hurts!
It was a high-intensity impact based purely on force.
Zesshi Zetsumei stared in disbelief ahead as a gigantic monster, nearly five meters tall, came into view.
This was a gigantic magical beast she had never seen before!
It resembles both a dog and a lion, with three unusually ferocious heads, sharp teeth protruding from the sides of its mouth, and saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.
Its tail is like a venomous snake, swinging wildly!
It appears to possess a certain degree of offensive power, and a faint purple light can be seen at the snake's tail!
Zesshi Zetsumei desperately tried to recall the knowledge in his mind, but confirmed that he indeed had no recollection of it.
All members of the [Black Scripture] specialize in learning various kinds of knowledge, but none of that knowledge includes the monster before them!
Bang!
Cerberus raised one of its thick paws and slammed it into the ground, creating a deep crater. Its three crimson heads stared at Zesshi Zesshi, preparing to swoop down.
A foul-smelling breath spewed from three mouths!
It looks exceptionally terrifying and eerie.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Zesshi Zetsumei was stared at by six pairs of scarlet eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason and instinctively spoke.
She could actually sense a dangerous aura emanating from this monster.
How is that possible?
It's just a summoned monster!
The laziness and contempt in Zesshi Zetsumei's heart completely disappeared.
Its name is Cerberus.
Tang Zheng emerged from behind the massive body of Cerberus, standing smiling beside the monster, gently patting Cerberus short fur with one hand.
"The Principality you easily destroyed in the Theocracy would also be easily destroyed before this three-headed hellish being."
It's a bit prickly.
"Oh."
"Oh."
"Oh."
Cerberus (Level 70) responded to Tang Zheng's touch with all three heads, looking like it wanted to be affectionate.
pity.
The Cerberus is so large compared to a human that it simply cannot perform the cuddling and affectionate gesture.
Looking into their field of vision, the Cerberus, with its fierce and menacing face, was actually behaving in a cute and affectionate manner.
This filled Zesshi Zetsumei with indescribable horror and a sense of dread.
Her sharp gaze had already caught sight of a small wound on each of the Cerberus.
This is the injury left from the "Three Slashes" Martial Arts I just used!
There has been no battle yet.
Zesshi Zetsumei could already sense Cerberus's astonishing strength and defensive capabilities.
His eyes darted around.
Looking at Tang Zheng's gentle smile across the table, it suddenly seemed incredibly mysterious to Zesshi Zetsumei.
No wonder they seemed so calm Theocracy; according to their explanation, it was because they knew resistance was futile.
This guy is lying through his teeth!
"What level of monster is this?" Zesshi Zetsumei's pale face was slightly distorted as she asked in a high-pitched voice.
She didn't think the other person would answer, but she still spoke up in the hope that they might answer, and also to distract herself.
"Tenth-Tier magic level."
"How is this answer, Your Excellency Guardian of Humanity?" Tang Zheng maintained his smile, gazing at the opponent, Zesshi Zetsumei.
"As I mentioned before, I am very skilled in Arcane System magic."
Tang Zheng specifically emphasized "Arcane System power" again, and also to reinforce the impression of Zesshi Zetsumei.
Answered?
Etc!
That's not the key point, the 10th magic—how is that possible!
Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes widened suddenly; she wanted to immediately retort.
Among the knowledge she had acquired, it was indeed mentioned that magic existed in 10 ranks, but only beings like the legendary Six Great Gods could master magic of this level.
It is said that there exists an even stronger magic called the "Eleventh-Tier".
The Theocracy itself has not confirmed this information, so it should be treated as mere legend.
The rebuttal that was about to come out was swallowed back down.
This is very likely a strategy employed by the other side, aiming to intimidate her with such astonishing magical abilities, thereby affecting her judgment and combat effectiveness.
Is this your trump card?
Zesshi Zetsumei calmed his emotions, raised the Cross-Spear War Scythe in his hand, and let out a Taunt sneer:
"As expected, even if someone disguises themselves as Divine System Magic Caster, their skill in summoning remains unchanged."
"You really scared me. If you think you can defeat me with a monster like that, you're way too far ahead, you piece of trash!"
Zesshi Zetsumei licked his lips and spoke loudly.
If she remembered correctly, this Team Leader Tang could summon two Angel monsters, and even if he disguised himself, this Summoner Class enhancement build should not change.
And now!
The opponent only summoned a high-ranking monster named Cerberus.
why is that?
"Magic!" Zesshi Zetsumei gave himself the answer.
The close-quarters combat just now.
Tang Zheng summoned the Cerberus in an instant, without noticing the chanting process.
In other words, it uses some kind of Magic Reinforcement method that skips the chanting, Silent Magic Casting Conversion!
Zesshi Zetsumei knew about this kind of enhancement technology because among the six grand ceremony troops, the [Fire Extinguishing Scripture] would specifically learn a special profession.
This class possesses the ability to use any Magic Reinforcement technique, although it can only be used once per day.
"Silent Magic Casting Conversion | Consumes a huge amount of magic power."
Think these things through.
The unease in Zesshi Zetsumei's heart immediately dissipated; the key to victory lay in how much magic power the Magic Caster had consumed.
"Denounce Heretic!"
The Zesshi Zetsumei activates their special skill and immediately takes appropriate countermeasures.
This skill causes opponents with different Zesshi Zetsumei to consume a slight increase in mana when casting spells.
With this skill activated!
"Sentence Heretic!" Zesshi Zetsumei's body, followed by the activation of his class skill once again.
This is the other of two special skills that she can learn when she reaches the Highest Level of her profession [Heretics Inquisitor].
The effects are largely the same: they increase the chance of the opponent's spells failing, and the mana cost after a failed spell will still be deducted.
That's right!
Using higher-level magic will inevitably consume more mana, and with the support of these two skills, the opponent's mana consumption will be further increased.
This will subtly influence the balance of the battle!
"Windstride"
"Greater Windstride"
"Ability Boost"
"Greater Ability Boost"
"Greater Slash Strike"
"Greater Piercing"
"Possibility Sense"
"Don't be so arrogant!!" Zesshi Zetsumei let out a wanton laugh, and several beams of light instantly erupted from his body.
Swish!
The black and white figure vanished from its spot, rushing towards Tang Zheng at a speed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The extensive Martial Arts not only enhanced her agility and strength, but also gave her amazing observation skills and a sixth sense.
"Stop it," Tang Zheng said calmly.
If it weren't for the need to specifically showcase Advanced Tier Arcane System, there are many ways to deal with Zesshi Zetsumei.
Boom!
The ground beneath Cerberus's feet exploded, and its massive form, like a speeding dump truck, crashed into it with astonishing ferocity.
Tear!
The figure charging forward at Zesshi Zetsumei speed abruptly stopped, the short boots beneath his feet scraping against the ground with a piercing sound.
"The Invulnerable Fortress!"
The cross-shaped scythe swung, emitting a blue-green light, and collided with the charging Cerberus.
The impact force looked terrifying.
The impact was neutralized the instant the Cerberus Cross-Spear War Scythe scythe; not even a normal thud could be heard.
A hint of confusion appeared in the crimson eyes of the Cerberus, but the attack did not stop. The three heads opened their blood-red maws and bit down.
"Flow Acceleration!"
"Greater Evasion!"
Zesshi Zetsumei unleashed two Martial Arts in combination, her white hair flying through the air like Elf, leaping amidst the bites of the three heads.
"Stupid monster." Zesshi Zetsumei grinned menacingly, spinning his left foot and lightly touching the ground with his toes.
The Cerberus, which was like a wall, actually slipped past with its Zesshi Zetsumei agile movements.
She had no intention of confronting this thick-skinned monster head-on; her target from the beginning was the caster, Tang Zheng.
