Equipment Combination Technique: You Clearly Aren't Hurt at All

Tang Zheng's speculation about the [Chosen Knight] assassin, while not leaning towards a similarity to "The Goal of All Life is Death," is still valid.

However, it's not entirely impossible!

"By choosing the ' Wind God - Glorious Angel Cat - Meow' weapon, Zesshi Zetsumei must have already considered tactical countermeasures."

Tang Zheng's lips curled up slightly, finding it increasingly amusing. "At least, tank-style equipment can withstand high-intensity magic damage and last longer."

Wow!

The Cerberus, about the size of a small house, charged at Zesshi Zetsumei a ferocious and enraged manner, like a wild bull.

The summoned monster possesses a certain degree of self-awareness; its existence is meant to protect the summoner, yet it was easily bypassed by the enemy before it.

This was its mistake!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Cerberus, with their gaping maws and crimson eyes fixed on Zesshi Zetsumei, their entire body...

It crashed down like Mount Tai pressing down.

A fierce aura swept over us!

Zesshi Zetsumei's voice was high-pitched as he raised the Dawn Wall Gold Shield in his hand and slammed it forward. "Get out of my way, you ugly bastard!"

Thump!

Cerberus clashed once more with the three rotating shields surrounding Zesshi Zetsumei.

The heavy impact echoed through the valley.

Hiss!

The black boots of Zesshi Zetsumei dragged on the ground, but he did not attack Cerberus.

It is foolish to waste time and energy on summoning monsters in order to save energy.

far away.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, "So that's how the shield works."

"Ninth -Tier Magic: Vermilion Nova!"

The crimson lotus flames suddenly ignited Zesshi Zetsumei and Cerberus, instantly turning the two into crimson fireballs!

The scorching heat and flames illuminated the dark valley!

"A shield skill called ' Threefold Paradise '."

It summons a three-sided rotating shield that can not only block physical attacks but also deflect them.

Tang Zheng recalled the changes that occurred when Cerberus attacked:

"However, there should be a certain upper limit. The Cerberus's continuous attacks have caused the shield's color to fade somewhat. In addition, the recoil from the attacks cannot be completely negated."

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

Within the crimson flames, a figure leaped up from the flames.

"Flight]

"Hahaha!"

Behind the armor of Zesshi Zetsumei, blue energy-patterned wings unfurled, and flames erupted from its body as it soared into the air. "That ugly Cerberus doesn't have the ability to fly, sir~"

Zesshi Zetsumei, suspended in mid-air, let out a hearty laugh; the "Vermilion Nova" flames left only faint marks on the Divine Tier armor.

"Vermilion Nova ·Earth"

Tang Zheng began chanting, then said with a faint smile, "Warrior with the ability to fly are indeed a bit more troublesome."

Boom!

Under the passive ability of Elemental Conversion.

"Vermilion Nova," the strongest single-target fire magic, transformed into a cloud of brownish-brown quicksand and bombarded Zesshi Zetsumei's body.

"The light of dawn must reside in the heart!"

With Zesshi Zetsumei shout, Jue Si Jue Ming activated his armor skill. "Unyielding Oath!"

A bright white light flashed across the surface of the armor!

Zesshi Zetsumei enduring the magical attack, he charged towards Tang Zheng.

"Vermilion Nova - Wind"

A high-speed rotating device formed from condensed wind elements crashed against the Zesshi Zetsumei in mid-air like a tornado.

Zesshi Zetsumei was not greatly affected; his body only swayed briefly.

"Vermilion Nova - Water"

A large water sphere appears out of thin air, enveloping the enemy inside. The pure water flow can not only cause the drowning status effect, but also affect the speed of enemies inside the water sphere!

"Combo complete," Tang Zheng murmured.

The [Immortal] class's passive skill, "Ancient Wisdom of Mutual Generation," increases the power of any subsequent use of four-element magic by 15% after completing a four-element combo.

Achieving this is not difficult for the average Player, but it's not easy either!

The caster must master four elemental spells and must choose the appropriate one based on the enemy, which further increases the difficulty.

Tang Zheng, however, didn't need to go through such trouble.

"Elemental Attribute Change" allows you to replace elemental magic with any four elemental attributes. The same elemental magic can be used as four different elements!

only-

Tang Zheng frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Greater Slash Strike!"

Zesshi Zetsumei, Zesshi Zesshi's body remained completely unaffected as he swiftly swung the Radiant Sacred Gold Sword in his hand:

"These spells seem weaker and weaker! Hehehe, is the master holding back?"

The giant water sphere was split open!

Zesshi Zetsumei broken free from the magic's influence, the gaze from behind the mask, now excited and burning, once again pierced through her delicate face.

"The power of magic has indeed weakened."

Tang Zheng also anticipated and realized this.

"Vermilion Nova" is the strongest single-target fire magic, but its power becomes only average when transformed into one of the other three attributes.

In other words, the bonus from fire magic is lost!

"It seems that not all elemental magic is suitable for conversion into other elements."

The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, but his hands didn't slow down at all. "You're smug too soon."

"Tenth-Tier Magic - Seven Trumpeter - Fire!"

The spell was originally an area-of-effect lightning spell, but now, with the activation of the spell...

Above.

Seven magic circles, each about one meter in size, floated in mid-air, emitting a dazzling red light.

Boom! Boom!

Each magic circle emitted pillars of blazing fire at an astonishingly high temperature, instantly turning a large area into a sea of fire.

Zesshi Zetsumei was instantly engulfed in flames; the astonishing heat transmitted through his armor, making his skin scalding.

"The power of this magic is completely different from the last one!"

Zesshi Zetsumei's vision was distorted by the high temperature, causing the air to warp, which activated the power of her armor once more.

"The Courage's Grace!"

It's a skill that can increase both physical and magical resistance simultaneously.

"Strengthen Magic Resistance!"

"Enhanced Magic Resistance!"

Two Martial Arts are activated.

Without Zesshi Zetsumei delay, a series of magical attacks was enough for her to reach Tang Zheng, and she swung her Radiant Sacred Gold Sword:

"Heretic Judgment!"

"Sentence Heretic!"

The [Heretical Inquisitor] class has the ability to increase the mana consumption and spell failure rate of Magic Caster have different beliefs from themselves.

Certainly!

Given her magical skill level, the effect these two skills could have was quite limited, but even if they had some effect, it would be worthwhile.

The Radiant Sacred Gold Sword, wielding its blade, tore through the air with Rinli, slashing menacingly towards Tang Zheng's neck.

Brush!

Tang Zheng's figure disappeared.

Behind the helmet of Zesshi Zetsumei, there was no surprise on his face, but a hint of error appeared the next moment.

All I saw was...

The instant Tang Zheng disappeared, a bronze-colored feather phantom appeared, followed by the figure of Cerberus.

Not Teleportation?

It's a swap!

The magical item "Hilmi's Messenger".

Zesshi Zetsumei hadn't forgotten that she was the one who gave this magical item to Tang Zheng; it was a tool those old guys used to win Tang Zheng over.

Looking back now, it's really laughable!

Puff!

The Radiant Sacred Gold Sword pierced the tough skin of Cerberus, and bright red blood gushed from the wound.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Cerberus roared in agony, thrusting its sharp claws forward as all three heads opened their mouths and lunged to bite down. "What's going on?!"

Zesshi Zetsumei drew the Radiant Sacred Gold Sword, flapped its wings, and soared into the air to dodge the attack of Cerberus, its eyes filled with deep confusion:

"Why didn't you use Teleportation, but instead used a magical item?"

Tang Zheng's ability to dodge her attack was expected, but his decision not to use Teleportation and instead to exchange items using a magical item was unexpected.

I'd like to think about this further!

A large-scale attack reappeared in the sky.

"Seven Trumpeter - Earth"

A magic circle radiating brown light appeared, and before the attack could land, more magic circles radiating elemental light appeared in the sky.

"Silent Magic Casting Conversion - Seven Trumpeter - Wind"

Fourteen magic circles appeared densely packed in the air.

Seeing this!

A chill ran down Zesshi Zetsumei's spine, his pupils dilated, and his previously composed expression turned blank. "Isn't that a bit much?"

Rumble!!

The wide-range attack, a mixture of earth and wind elements, swept through the air like a torrent.

The valley within the attack range was instantly reduced to ruins, with huge plumes of smoke and dust rising into the sky, and flying debris and deafening roars filling the air.

100 meters away.

"The Seven Trumpeter seems quite powerful when used for Elemental Conversion."

Tang Zheng looked towards the ruins, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He muttered to himself with satisfaction, then recalled how he had dodged the attack earlier:

"Combo attacks are indeed not very suitable for single-player combat."

really.

Only through combat can we discover easily overlooked areas more quickly.

The magic combo technique is indeed good, but if it's like before, how can the four elements be maintained in a continuous combo?

Tang Zheng was unable to use the "Teleportation" magic to evade, and had to resort to magical items to move around.

This could actually create some constraints on oneself!

"It's a matter of making choices."

Boom!

From the dust, the figure of a wolf-fox flew out once more.

"Oh, a double Tenth-Tier Magic Reinforcement attack, and you're still holding up? You should thank your equipment, Zesshi."

Tang Zheng looked ahead and smiled as he spoke, "If that's all there is to it, then all you'll get from this is endless beatings."

"When it comes to firepower, no profession can rival the Magic Caster!"

Without the equipment of the Six Great Gods, the series of magical attacks just now would have been enough to render Zesshi Zetsumei incapable of fighting.

"As expected of the master!"

"Wow, that's really strong, even though you don't have any decent equipment."

Zesshi Zetsumei grinned and said, "Even as Magic Caster, I don't have a basic Magic Staff."

"However! Underestimating me will only lead to trouble. I originally planned to deplete your magic power before attacking, but now I have to do it ahead of schedule!"

Tang Zheng's smile deepened slightly as he opened his arms.

It's always good to be prepared!

"Let me see your methods, Zesshi."

Tang Zheng let out a hearty laugh, looking directly at the figure hovering in the air. "Come on!"

"Then—I'm going!"

Zesshi Zetsumei roared, raising the Dawn Wall Gold Shield in his hand and thrusting it towards the sky:

"Dawn Judgment!"

A dense, Holy Light erupted from the shield.

In an instant.

At the four corners of Tang Zheng's location—east, west, south, and north—a cross, over three meters tall and radiating a sacred aura, simultaneously materialized.

Splashing sound—splashing sound—

The clanging of chains against metal echoed from the four enormous crosses, followed by a lightning-fast attack that shot towards Tang Zheng, who was positioned at the center.

"An assassin?"

"It doesn't seem like it; it's more likely an equipment skill."

Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that a Legendary Tier item would possess such an astonishing skill that seemed to have a massive and imposing presence.

"Greater Teleportation!"

I vaguely sensed that this skill might have a control effect, so I decided to use a higher-level Teleportation spell instead.

Tang Zheng's body surged with magical power, causing him to sway slightly, but he remained standing in place.

"The Teleportation failed. No, it was a forced delay?"

The light emanating from the four crosses shone even brighter!

With a whoosh...

Thick chains bound Tang Zheng from four directions simultaneously, but in the instant the chains tightened, they seemed to become illusory, actually passing right through Tang Zheng's body.

"Not bound? -- Is it Resistance to Movement Impediment? Does it even have that ability?!"

Zesshi Zetsumei Ming's expression changed slightly. He quickly raised the Radiant Sacred Gold Sword in his right hand and forcefully struck the Dawn Wall Gold Shield with the blade.

"However, delaying the casting time of the spell is enough!"

"This is a move that can only be used when all three pieces of equipment are worn simultaneously— Judgment Reflection!"

Buzz!

With a flick of his wrist, Zesshi Zetsumei pointed the Radiant Sacred Gold Sword at Tang Zheng and roared, "I'll return all the magical damage I just suffered to you!"

"You'll have to bear it!"

A blinding beam of light, infused with elemental energy, erupted from the Radiant Sacred Gold Sword, hurtling towards them with astonishing power.

Rumble!

Rocks flew everywhere, and the mountain walls on both sides trembled.

The terrifying energy blasted a crater tens of meters wide at the location where Tang Zheng was standing, and the mountain wall on one side was also severely damaged by the aftershocks.

Zesshi Zetsumei stared intently at the location of the pit.

As the smoke and dust dissipated.

"A move that converts previous damage into attacks before unleashing them."

Tang Zheng came into view, accompanied by that familiar voice. "What troublesome methods."

"Don't joke around!"

Zesshi Zetsumei's hands trembled, whether from excitement or overwhelming elation, it was hard to tell.

You're completely unharmed!

Tang Zheng stood unharmed in the center of the pit, except for his torn clothes.

No!

It wasn't that he wasn't injured; a glance at the Attribute Panel revealed that his magic power had dropped by nearly 200 points out of nowhere.

Fifth-Tier Magic: Translocation Damage!

A unique magic from New World, developed by Evileye, that can convert damage received into a loss of magical power.
