Total Defeat! The Insect Hero Lives

If the first instance of resisting "death" was due to a combination of caution and coincidence, then the second instance is different. At the same time as I release "death," the opponent simultaneously releases a spell of resistance.

Such a reaction speed can only be described as terrifying!

Is it Innate Talent?

Zesshi Zetsumei made this judgment in his heart, but didn't investigate it further, because it was meaningless.

Swish!

"Hehe, it's useless."

"I don't know what kind of magic you're using."

Accompanied by the ticking of the clock, Zesshi Zetsumei began to retreat, widening the distance once more, his voice filled with ecstatic excitement:

"However, the shadow of Death God has already fallen upon you!"

This trump card takes 12 seconds to take effect after it's activated. As for what happens if she's killed during that time...

Even he himself was unaware of his Zesshi Zetsumei.

So she chose to focus on defense and wait for the 12 seconds!

now.

Tang Zheng looked at the Zesshi Zetsumei carrying the golden clock in the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, but a sense of relief washed over him. "The Goal of All Life is Death '."

"I see."

"It can be done by first activating ' The Goal of All Life is Death ' and then combining it with Instant Death skill, or by doing both simultaneously."

Tang Zheng knew the information about "The Goal of All Life is Death," but there was always an element of uncertainty between novels, anime, and reality.

Now I'm facing this move in person.

Only then did I truly understand the ability of "The Goal of All Life is Death".

The only thing he feared about Zesshi Zetsumei was this trump card!

"Unclean Impact Shield" can only be used twice a day. Fortunately, Zesshi Zetsumei herself does not possess any "Instant Death techniques".

The activated magic "Death" is a built-in Cross-Spear War Scythe magic item, and can only be used twice every 8 hours.

so.

Tang Zheng only needs to guard against these two instances; this is the advantage of intelligence.

Shalltear died at Bone Lord's hands because there was absolutely no information about her "The Goal of All Life is Death," which forced the use of the "Unclean Impact Shield" countermeasure prematurely.

The trump card skills possessed by Special Class are called trump cards not only because of their powerful initial kill effect, but also because of their extremely strong deterrent effect!

If you never use it!

Therefore, even if an opponent has intelligence, they must retain countermeasures.

Whoosh--!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit, Zesshi a delicate white doll, charged forward, wielding a white weapon— Cross-Spear War Scythe— that had also been replicated.

"Ninth-Tier Magic - Polar Claw!" Tang Zheng chanted rapidly, thinking to himself:

"Using the Soul of the Heroic Spirit to buy time, having used both of my trump cards, it seems I've truly been driven to the brink of Zesshi Zetsumei."

Tang Zheng's lips curled slightly.

Zesshi Zetsumei's strength is actually quite formidable.

However, due to inferior intelligence and his arrogant personality, Zesshi Zetsumei did not exert his full strength at the beginning, which led to the rapid collapse of the situation.

A chilling aura gathered.

A massive, sharp claw made entirely of ice slammed forward, leaving behind a trail of faint white mist.

The tips of the icy claws pierced the air, emitting a rapid, ear-piercing whistling sound!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit possesses a Zesshi combat awareness and quickly dodges, but the Polar Claw seems to be tracking it, simultaneously changing its trajectory in the air.

Boom!

The white Cross-Spear War Scythe swung heavily, colliding with the icy claws and producing a thunderous roar.

A surge of icy cold energy exploded out!

A thick layer of solid ice covered the body of the Zesshi Soul of the Heroic Spirit, leaving it frozen in place.

Click!

Click!

Tiny cracks began to appear on the surface of the ice.

"There's no chance anymore."

"Ninth-Tier Magic, Vermilion Nova!" Tang Zheng sneered and began chanting again.

Wow!

The scorching, lotus-shaped flames Zesshi engulfed and ignited the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, transforming it into Fireball radiating intense heat.

A brief burst of light!

The intense flames vanished as if from nowhere.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit Zesshi, turning into white specks of light and vanishing along with them.

"It was only destroyed after enduring three attacks of the highest-ranking single-attribute magic?"

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

By mentally calculating the passive elemental magic buffs and the damage absorbed by the Soul of the Heroic Spirit of Zesshi, the HP value of Zesshi Zetsumei was roughly estimated.

Tick-tock~

3 seconds!

After Tang Zheng finished dealing with the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, he looked at Zesshi in the distance, whose golden clock was about to complete a full rotation.

The pursuit by Cerberus.

They were stopped once again by the Spartiate Undead Zesshi Zetsumei summoned by Zesshi Zesshi.

Fifth-Tier: Spartiate Undead.

It is also a built-in spell within the magical item "Charon's Guidance," which can summon up to 5 at a time, and up to 30 within 24 hours.

Undead of this caliber are nothing to Player.

In this New World before my eyes.

With this magical artifact alone, five "Hero Realm" level Undead can be created in one go.

The Heroic Spirit Warrior perished so quickly?

Zesshi Zetsumei's breathing quickened as he gripped the Cross-Spear War Scythe even tighter, blood dripping from his palms.

Tick-tock~

2 seconds!

With shoulders relaxed,

The burning pain throughout his body became even more pronounced, Zesshi Zetsumei what was happening.

In a situation where victory is assured.

Relaxing a tense mind reduces the psychological suppression of pain.

"Hahaha, too bad I won't hear your screams."

"It's over, you bastards!" Zesshi Zetsumei couldn't contain his laughter, announcing the final victory.

Actually!

There's something odd about this: the sight of the two trump cards should have surprised anyone seeing it for the first time.

However.

Zesshi Zetsumei kept his eyes fixed on Tang Zheng, but he never saw any unexpected, tense, or confused emotional changes on the other's face.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

An angry roar came from the left rear.

It was the voice of that hideous Cerberus, charging towards them. It seemed they had already dealt with the newly summoned Spartiate Undead.

"Tch, disgusting monster."

Zesshi Zetsumei licked his stinging lips, too lazy to be wary of Cerberus.

Once the caster dies, the summoned monster will disappear along with it, so there's no need to worry about it.

Tick-tock~

1 second!

The hands of the golden clock returned to their original position, stopping at 12 seconds.

"It's over."

Zesshi Zetsumei slightly protruded her pink tongue, and a twisted, ferocious smile appeared on her slightly charred cheeks.

But the next moment!

His expression stiffened.

"How... how could this be!"

"Why, why didn't you die?!"

Zesshi Zetsumei are like a machine that malfunctions; situations beyond comprehension can cause a person to freeze up in an instant.

A flash of inspiration struck me!

She found out.

The other party knows this trick!

Zesshi Zetsumei wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was a smart man. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, this was the only possibility.

Bang!

While Cerberus was Zesshi Zetsumei stunned, it rushed forward and knocked the Cross-Spear War Scythe with a single blow.

"Ah!"

The Zesshi Zetsumei, let out a agonizing scream.

The two Cerberus bit Zesshi Zetsumei's arms, lifting him off the ground.

"Roar!"

The ferocious dog head in the middle, with its gaping, drooling maw, lunged at the head of the Zesshi Zetsumei.

Life-or-death crisis!

Bang--!

"Get out of here!!"

Finally, Zesshi Zetsumei reacted, roaring as he raised his left leg and slammed his foot back into the open mouth of the middle Cerberus.

"Roar!"

"Ah!"

The Cerberus was tearing at Zesshi Zetsumei's two arms, while also shaking wildly in mid-air.

Puffs of red blood mist bloomed in the air!

However!

Even with Cerberus, which could easily crush hard metal, it still couldn't completely Zesshi Zetsumei.

"It's my turn to say it's over, Miss Zesshi."

"It seems you have no means of resistance left. How disappointing."

Tang Zheng walked over unhurriedly from a distance, chanting in a calm tone:

"Ninth-Tier Magic - Polar Claw!"

Boom!

This spell not only inflicts damage on the Ice Crown, but also causes tearing wounds.

Click--click--

The Polar Claw struck the head of Cerberus, causing a cracking sound as the icy, deep White Mist dissipated.

The Cerberus absorbed most of the attack, and combined with its previous injuries, it completely dissipated.

Bang.

Zesshi Zetsumei then fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground. Both of his arms had disappeared, and only the severed wounds were covered with wisps of frost.

"Cough... cough..."

Zesshi Zetsumei's chest heaved violently, and he coughed uncontrollably, the phlegm flowing down the sides of his mouth to the ground.

Her beautiful heterochromatic eyes had turned somewhat gray!

"It's not over yet!"

"It's not over yet, I won't die... I won't die."

He Zesshi Zetsumei tried to maintain his fading consciousness, his heart screaming wildly.

Am I going to die?

How could I die in a place like this?

Defeat!

An undeniable defeat!

The Theocracy might be able to resurrect itself... but... having lost itself, could the Theocracy withstand this mysterious and terrifying being?

True Divine Artifact... True Divine Artifact...

A sacred light shone from not far away.

Zesshi Zetsumei's previously blurred consciousness became slightly clearer, and he struggled to turn his neck, looking towards the location of the Holy Light.

That's right!

"Fifth-Tier Magic: Resurrection of the Dead!"

Tang Zheng walked to the side of the "Four Elements," which had turned into corpses, activated his magic, and pondered inwardly:

"Without being probed by ' Thousand Miles Astrologer,' the deaths of the ' Four Elements ' should not have been discovered yet."

Tang Zheng stared at the corpse that had resumed breathing, while his peripheral vision glanced at the location of Zesshi Zetsumei.

Most of the attacks from "Polar Claw" were taken by Cerberus, Zesshi Zetsumei and wouldn't die anytime soon.

Now let's get down to business!

"Ah, ah!"

The moment the "Four Elements" regained consciousness, they suddenly sat up from the ground, panting heavily, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

I didn't die?

He remembered that he was already dead, killed in an instant by that team leader, Tang.

My vision cleared again.

The "Four Elements" sensed their weakened state, and a look of realization dawned on their gloomy middle-aged faces as they understood that they had been resurrected.

But the next moment!

The "Four Elements" noticed the grass beneath their feet; it was still in Abelion Hills, and they realized they hadn't been resurrected in the Theocracy.

He suddenly looked up.

Tang Zheng's figure came into view.

The "Four Elements" pupils contracted sharply. They didn't have time to think about what was going on. Instinctively, they tried to get up from the ground and quickly get away from their opponents.

As his arms braced against the ground and his body tilted, he saw Tang Zheng behind him.

The "Four Elements" froze on the spot, their lips trembling, their faces showing uncontrollable terror, and their whole bodies shaking uncontrollably.

"Lord Zesshi Zetsumei..." The "Four Elements" felt like they must be having a nightmare.

The most powerful being in the Theocracy!

Strongest Human ace, the guardian deity Zesshi Zetsumei master.

Surprisingly... surprisingly...

His entire body was charred black, both arms were missing, and he lay on the ground, his fate unknown.

"Vomit!"

The "Four Elements" suddenly turned their heads and began to vomit uncontrollably. They felt their stomachs spasming repeatedly, as if they were about to throw up everything they had ever eaten in their entire lives.

It was an indescribable fear that surged from the depths of my soul.

Escape!

A thought quickly amplified in my mind.

The "Four Elements" were deathly pale, devoid of any color, their chaotic thoughts reduced to a single idea: escape.

"Teleportation!"

The "Four Elements" swayed slightly but remained in the same spot.

The magic failed!

"This... this..."

The "Four Elements" gaped, stiffly raising their heads to meet Tang Zheng's calm gaze.

Tang Zheng, with an indifferent expression, turned and walked towards Zesshi Zetsumei.

Snap!

The "Four Elements" lay helplessly on the ground. This was a powerful figure from the "Hero Realm," a member of the strongest force, [The Black Scripture].

At that moment, he collapsed to the ground like a piece of flesh with its spine removed.

"Huff... Huff..." The "Four Elements" were breathing heavily, their hearts pounding.

He knew that in the eyes of Tang Zheng, who was capable of defeating the Lord of Zesshi Zetsumei, he was like an insect!

Just like how a human being wouldn't care about the ants at their feet.

Tread!

Tread!

The clear sound of footsteps reached Zesshi Zetsumei's ears; she didn't understand why this man wanted to revive the "Four Elements."

The remaining consciousness is now incapable of deep thought.

All that remained was the thought of whether he was going to die.

"I know that the Theocracy possesses Resurrection Magic, which can bring you back to life."

Yes, it was that wretched man's voice.

"As you can see, I also possess Resurrection Magic, and most of your body is right in front of you."

"I can kill you and then resurrect you, but you will be weakened... Don't worry about my mana consumption; in fact, I still have plenty of mana."

So—I will kill you and resurrect you!

"Until you die completely, and disappear from this world forever."

Demon!

This is the whisper of the Demon.

The "Four Elements" buried their heads deep in the ground, afraid to raise their heads, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Zesshi Zetsumei's body twitched involuntarily.

That's outrageous!

She didn't want to lose, and she didn't want to die!

In his Zesshi Zetsumei state of consciousness, he suddenly and profoundly realized what true "defeat" really meant.

It wasn't being attacked and defeated by the enemy, but being forced to confront an insurmountable despair.

She had once longed to experience defeat, but at this moment, like a moth drawn to a flame, she realized that the "defeat" she had once yearned for was all a lie!

"Zesshi."

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" Tang Zheng's cold voice suddenly softened.

"Live..."

With all his might, Zesshi Zetsumei uttered a shameful yet hopeful word from his cracked lips.
