With Zesshi Zetsumei spun around, his heels slamming into the ground, and he passed over the three ferocious heads, arriving beside Cerberus.

"Hiss!"

A slender black shadow suddenly flew out from behind Cerberus; it was a venomous snake with sharp fangs.

snake?

Zesshi Zetsumei had no choice but to stop his charge and swing his Cross-Spear War Scythe.

Bang!

The air brightened.

The black, crescent-shaped blade clashed with the snake's fangs, sending the snake flying through the air.

At this moment, Zesshi Zetsumei finally realized that what was blocking his way was not a venomous snake, but the tail of Cerberus.

"Poison Fang!"

"It's basically the tail of a live snake; it looks like you might get poisoned if you get bitten," Zesshi Zetsumei thought to herself, annoyed.

This momentary obstruction.

The Cerberus pounced again, interrupting the attack that Zesshi Zetsumei was about to make on Tang Zheng, the Magic Caster.

"You're so annoying, you're such an eyesore!"

Zesshi Zetsumei's brows furrowed, his gaze as cold as a knife. "Invulnerable Fortress!"

This is a defensive Martial Arts.

It requires the user to judge the opponent's attack trajectory and the timing of defense, which places a relatively high demand on the user's combat experience.

but.

A creature as enormous as Cerberus in front of us doesn't require much observation; its attack methods are hardly skillful.

Another silent collision!

Zesshi Zetsumei gripped the Cross-Spear War Scythe -shaped Cerberus.

From a distance.

It was like a weak child who withstood the attack of a ferocious beast.

A cold, heterochromatic gaze swept over him.

Focus on two spots on Cerberus's body; these should be potential weak points.

Neck!

Heart!

The game features a class called "Zesshi Zetsumei's Hand," which is known for its high critical hit damage and can even deliver a fatal blow under certain circumstances.

But only a glance.

He gave up on the idea of "attacking weaknesses" and Zesshi Zetsumei.

Cerberus, making it easy to detect or block attacks on the neck. Furthermore, its heart is located in the lower abdomen, requiring a specific angle to strike.

With a loud "bang!"

Cerberus swung its forelegs and slammed them down.

A surging force swept in.

"It's so heavy!"

Zesshi Zetsumei felt a sudden jolt in the web of his hands gripping the Cross-Spear War Scythe scythe, forcing him to jump back to mitigate the impact. At the same time, he ruthlessly swung his weapon in the follow-up motion:

"Greater Slash Strike!" "Double Air Slash!"

First, enhance the Slash Strike ability, then unleash two Slash Strike that fly through the air!

With the previous series of Martial Arts enhancements, the intensity of this attack is significantly higher!

Pfft! Pfft!

The Cerberus's tough fur ripped open, splattering blood and leaving two arm-length wounds on its body.

However, compared to the massive size of Cerberus, this injury is clearly not considered serious, and it's barely even a minor injury!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Cerberus of Cerberus roared and pounced again.

A loud bang rang out.

Cerberus, with wounds constantly appearing on its body, launched a relentless offensive, completely abandoning any semblance of defense, and utterly stalled Zesshi Zetsumei.

It even created a certain degree of suppression.

rear.

Tang Zheng that the figure of Cerberus was blocking Zesshi Zetsumei's view, and shook his head almost imperceptibly. "The Class Construction is too bad!"

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough - Vermilion Nova!" Tang Zheng chanted indifferently.

He had no intention of just watching the show. Now that some information had been revealed, he would use the power of Arcane System Magic Caster to completely crush Zesshi Zetsumei.

Ideally, it should be with overwhelming force!

Otherwise, given his Zesshi Zetsumei nature, he wouldn't easily back down.

Boom!

A crimson lotus of flame flew out, releasing intense light and heat, instantly enveloping the entangled Cerberus and Zesshi Zetsumei!

"Ah!!"

Painful screams echoed through the sky.

puff-

A burning figure flew out, emerging from a large ball of flames, and crashed to the ground some distance away, rolling and emitting a continuous, piercing scream.

"Enhanced Magic Resistance!" and "Dull Pain!"

Zesshi Zetsumei felt as if millions of hungry, poisonous ants were constantly burrowing into his body through his pores.

The scorching flames, turning into molten lava, burned on the skin, and indescribable pain stimulated every nerve in the body.

Uncontrollable spasms of the limbs.

Zesshi Zetsumei couldn't hold onto the Cross-Spear War Scythe in his hands for a moment, and almost dropped them to the ground.

That's why it didn't fall!

The skin of his palms turned into a blood-flesh glue, sticking to the long handle of the Cross-Spear War Scythe.

The activation of "Dull Pain"!

The burning pain that Zesshi Zetsumei felt was immediately reduced significantly.

Consciousness is restored from the pain!

A cracked and charred arm, burned by flames, reached out, quickly braced itself against the ground, and rose to its feet.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

He screamed in agony, as Zesshi Zetsumei, all-consuming outburst, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. He forcibly focused his consciousness and activated the strongest Healing Magic he currently possessed:

"Severe Wound Healing!"

A holy light enveloped his entire body.

However!

This level of healing has only a negligible therapeutic effect on the injuries she has sustained all over her body.

"They're attacking even the monsters!"

Zesshi Zetsumei braced himself against the ground with his weapon, feeling a burning pain all over his body, and an incomprehensible fear.

The attack just now included the opponent's summoned monsters within its range.

Boom!

The heavy sound of running approached from afar.

Zesshi Zetsumei hurriedly raised his charred face, revealing a pair of blurry heterochromatic eyes, barely able to make out the figure rushing towards him.

Cerberus!

Surprisingly, he was completely unharmed.

"Is he still alive?" Tang Zheng's cheerful voice rang out from behind at just the right moment:

"This is Ninth-Tier fire magic, which, theoretically, is the strongest fire magic among all Tier Magic."

"As expected of Miss Zesshi, it's a real pity she wasn't killed..."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Cerberus is immune to fire damage."

The introductory statement begins now.

It is undoubtedly an attitude of contempt and a posture of victory.

"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you--"

The Zesshi Zetsumei from the depths of his heart even suppressed the pain in his body, and his blurred vision cleared:

"The Spartiate Undead!"

Activate the magic built into the Cross-Spear War Scythe weapon in your hand.

A black magic circle appeared on the ground!

Five Undead named Sparta quickly materialized from the magic circle and stood in front of Zesshi Zetsumei.

The strength of this Undead is equivalent to that of Fifth-Tier Heavy Skeleton Warriors.

A burning pain, like a tidal wave, coursed through my entire body.

Unable to concentrate, Zesshi Zetsumei's exquisite clothes vanished, leaving him standing naked and charred on one side.

Ninth -Tier Magic?

Zesshi Zetsumei could no longer judge whether it was real or fake, but in her heart she was convinced; the power of the magic just now had exceeded her comprehension.

To be hit by magic of that level again...

Zesshi Zetsumei's pupils contracted rapidly, a chill rising in his heart. Even if he didn't die, he would be completely incapacitated!

In the blink of an eye, we were in dire straits!

This was a formidable opponent she had never encountered before.

Oops!

A serious mistake!

If she had known Tang Zheng possessed such strength, she would definitely have been fully armed. If she had been wearing the armor of the Six Great Gods, that attack just now...

She wouldn't have been injured so badly.

A loud "bang" was heard.

Cerberus charged forward, first knocking a Spartiate Undead flying, which disintegrated into numerous bone fragments in mid-air.

The Fifth-Tier Undead, possessing the power of the "Hero Realm," couldn't even withstand a single exchange.

At this moment, Zesshi Zetsumei didn't care about that.

Let the remaining four Spartiate Undead continue to hold the line.

"Severe Wound Healing!"

While keeping a close eye on Tang Zheng in the distance, Zesshi Zetsumei continued to cast Healing Magic.

A flash of holy light.

The trembling in Zesshi Zetsumei's limbs finally stopped, and he regained control of his body.

The ground shook.

With Zesshi Zetsumei stomped the ground, passing Cerberus, who had been briefly blocked by the Spartiate Undead.

Charge forward.

That young man who wished he could chop him into mincemeat!

pain-.

An indescribable burning pain!

With each step Zesshi Zetsumei took forward, it felt as if his feet were stepping on sharp steel needles, his severely burned skin coming into contact with the air.

It felt like being cut by countless sharp blades!

There was still a chance, Zesshi Zetsumei chance. In his heterochromatic eyes, an uncontrollable rage and madness flickered.

In the blink of an eye.

Then came that dark, miserable figure charging forward again.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes.

His current magic attack value is over 900 points, and with the added boost of passive elemental magic, his damage is so high that even Zesshi Zetsumei didn't lose consciousness.

"Not bad willpower, Miss Zesshi."

"But you should lie down; that might reduce the pain."

Tang Zheng calmly made the suggestion, but the next moment he began chanting again without hesitation:

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Vermilion Nova!"

Another enormous ball of crimson lotus flame appeared instantly above Zesshi Zetsumei's head and then suddenly fell.

Flames engulfed the sky.

The vision of Zesshi Zetsumei turned back into a blinding crimson red, the air was scorched, and the already severely burned skin on his body seemed to be about to turn to ashes in an instant.

"[Heretical Inquisitor] - Countermeasures against high-level magic casting - failed as expected,"

Zesshi Zetsumei's pupils were wide open, his irises contracted, and they were filled with dense blood vessels.

"We have no choice but to use assassins!"

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit!

In an instant!

A burst of white light gathered above Zesshi Zetsumei's head, forming another pure white Zesshi Zetsumei, which stood in front.

Boom!

The terrifying flames instantly ignited the Soul of the Heroic Spirit Zesshi, unleashing a torrent of scorching heat.

Zesshi Zetsumei inhaled hot air through his nostrils, his face became even more ferocious, while an excited smile appeared in his pupils.

It's blocked!

This is her assassin, a heroic warrior created through her Special Class. Although her overall strength is not as great as her original body, she possesses the powerful force inherent in herself.

The purpose of sending this assassin was not only to defend against Tang Zheng's high-level magical attacks, but also to create an opportunity for her to kill him!

The firelight vanished like a phantom.

The expressionless Soul of the Heroic Spirit Zesshi, showing no other signs of damage except for some burn marks on its body.

!

Dust began to rise.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit, in its Zesshi, displayed incredible speed, rushing towards Tang Zheng at a speed far exceeding that of the current Zesshi Zetsumei.

Looking at the agile figure of the summoned Heroic Spirit Warrior,

A hint of envy rose in Zesshi Zetsumei's heart at this moment. As a heroic Heroic Spirit Warrior felt no pain, she naturally wouldn't have her functions affected by injuries like her original self.

"You're the first person to push me to this point, Tang!"

Zesshi Zetsumei gripped his Cross-Spear War Scythe, roaring through his panting breaths:

Even if I wish I could chop you into mincemeat with my own hands, right now, I don't want to give you even the slightest chance!

Magic Caster are extremely weak in close combat. Even against someone of the same level, Zesshi Zetsumei is confident that he can easily kill the spellcaster's frail body.

But!

The battle that just took place.

This made Zesshi Zetsumei clearly realize that Tang Zheng possessed high-level magic that she had no idea about, giving him an advantage in close combat.

Without knowing the opponent's magic or trump cards, rushing in is fraught with danger!

In particular, Tang Zheng possesses a Magic Reinforcement method that allows for "Silent Magic Casting Conversion," which further weakens the balance of power in close combat!

Well then—goodbye!

"The goal is to fall, life is death!"

In an instant!

A cold smile crept across Zesshi Zetsumei's lips as he activated his Innate Talent.

The air behind them was distorted.

Behind Zesshi Zetsumei, a giant golden clock marked 12 o'clock appeared.

She has two assassins.

One is Soul of the Heroic Spirit created through her profession, possessing the same power as her original self, making her a highly versatile assassin.

One is to awaken the strongest power of the original wielder of the weapon by using Innate Talent!

The golden clock before me is the one possessed by the Death God "Surshana," capable of inflicting Absolute Death upon its opponents, one from which none can resist.

It's an invincible killing move that has never been cracked!

Brush!

Zesshi Zetsumei raised his Cross-Spear War Scythe, pointing the tip at Tang Zheng, and activated the magic residing within it.

A "death"!

"Unclean Impact Shield"

In that instant, at the same moment!

A dark red, oval-shaped wave of air instantly spread outwards from Tang Zheng's center.

Tick-tock!

12 seconds!

The golden clock behind Zesshi Zetsumei also began to chime, starting its countdown.

"Huh?"

Zesshi Zetsumei glanced at Tang Zheng in surprise, her brows furrowing slightly.

It's the same kind of magic that was cast before.

Judging from the effects, it should be able to defend against "Instant Death" damage, but such a method is meaningless in the face of the assassin's power.

Zesshi Zetsumei was surprised, not by the magic itself, but by Tang Zheng's reaction speed.

"A mere Magic Caster"

"How could you have timed it so precisely, blocking the instant -Instant Death spell?"

The expression of Zesshi Zetsumei, contorted unnaturally by the pain coursing through his body, revealed an incomprehensible, profound inner turmoil.
