Chapter 109

Seeing Reynas's current state, Tang Zheng quickly took out a bottle of Regeneration Potion and poured it onto Reynas's cheek.

Hiss—

The wriggling rotting flesh came into contact with the potion, emitting a hissing sound, causing Reynas to let out another painful groan.

The trend of the rot spreading on her face was temporarily curbed under the effect of the potion!

"Thank you."

Reynas's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and she pressed hard against her spear, forcing herself to stand up.

She didn't want to be seen in her weak and powerless state.

"This isn't the time for politeness." Tang Zheng waved his hand and looked at this area, which didn't seem special on the surface.

Reynas exhaled and offered a reminder: "We might have found the right place."

"Manticores aren't very strong monsters. I've killed them before, and I've never encountered this situation."

Before this, regarding the curse on her body, Reynas had always believed it was caused by that bizarre monster, but now it seemed that was clearly not the case.

This man in front of her had guessed right!

That bizarre curse power came from here.

"Your state isn't good, and the Regeneration Potion can at most only suppress the spread of the curse on your face."

Tang Zheng glanced at Reynas's weak state; the curse spreading on her face was at most just a manifestation, and the curse power inside her body should be somewhat out of control at this moment.

He didn't have the same situation as Reynas because the player's ability skipped the stage of needing to master it proficiently, directly allowing him to master this power.

He glanced at the corpses of the two Manticores he had killed.

Besides the normal experience gain, the curse power in his body had indeed increased a little; although it was very weak, the increase in power could be clearly felt.

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur: these Manticores also contain curses in their bodies!

"Just a little pain."

Reynas raised her fair neck and squeezed out a smile on her pale face, "This matter started because of me; how could I let you, this Alchemist, stay here alone?"

Suddenly!

Tang Zheng and Reynas simultaneously raised their heads and looked to the front left, at a position about thirty meters away.

There was a patch of uneven, low-lying bushes, very sparse, where one could see everything at a glance, and no living creature existed.

However!

Both Tang Zheng's and Reynas's gazes landed on a half-dead tree stump, about half a person's height, located within the bush area, which looked as if it had been dead for many years.

Tang Zheng wasn't sure if this stump had been there just a moment ago, but at this moment, he could sense that the stump also possessed curse power.

"There's a problem with that stump!"

Reynas spoke first, quickly took a dagger from the magic belt at her waist, and threw it forcefully toward the stump.

Whoosh!

The powerful force caused the dagger to emit a sharp whistling sound through the air.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce into the stump.

Clatter!

The surface of the stump shook, and it jumped up from its spot, avoiding the incoming dagger.

Immediately after, the appearance of this stump began to twist and change, and a creature with gray-brown skin like tree bark all over its body, covered in black patterns of various sizes, and with gray-brown hair covering its entire face, appeared in the two's field of vision.

This was a humanoid monster; the large nose exposed from the hair could confirm this, but the nose was covered in fine black scales, which made people feel a bit creeped out.

The creature exuded an aura of decay and eeriness from its entire body.

The size of this humanoid monster was not large, even a bit small, with a height of only about 60cm, not even reaching the waist of a normal human.

"That's it!"

The moment Reynas saw this humanoid monster, a look of anger appeared on her pale face, and then she said somewhat uncertainly,

"It's a little different, but it's indeed very similar!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zheng looked seriously at the humanoid monster and recalled that there was absolutely no relevant information in either the anime or the light novels.

"Die..."

"Die, all, die..."

The humanoid monster's body swayed slightly, muttering in some unique, indescribable tone, "Drive..."

"It can talk?" Tang Zheng's gaze paused.

The humanoid monster suddenly let out a piercing scream: "Ha-hoo!"

Hum—

A wave of magic power emerged from the humanoid monster.

"Human Race Charm!"

An invisible mental wave rushed over instantly.

"Undead Spirit!"

Tang Zheng chanted while waving his arms to control the two Flame Archangels to rush toward the humanoid monster.

Meanwhile, Reynas froze in place for an instant, her eyes filled with confusion; she had clearly been affected by the "Human Race Charm."

"Blood Boiling!"

A faint red light radiated from the humanoid monster's body.

At the same time.

Tang Zheng immediately felt the blood throughout his body accelerate its flow, and he felt a sense of excitement, as if he had endless strength.

This was not a mental magic, but a type of buff magic that controlled blood flow speed; "Undead Spirit" naturally could not resist it.

However!

Tang Zheng didn't think this humanoid monster would cast buff magic on its enemies, so he immediately stepped backward and rushed toward the controlled Reynas.

A monster that can talk and use magic—is this really a monster, and not some kind of special demi-human?

Almost at the same time this thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

"Rapid Bleeding!" The humanoid monster's magic was activated again.

Tang Zheng's face flushed red instantly, but because he had been prepared, only a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. "Pfft!"

As for Reynas, under the state of charm, she had no consciousness to resist at all, and under the influence of the magic, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed directly from her mouth.

Especially her rotting cheek, which was already a wound, spilled a large amount of blood, staining Reynas's entire body blood-red.

However, under the condition of suffering damage.

Reynas also woke up from the state of charm; the moment she came to her senses, her body bent uncontrollably, and she coughed up blood in large mouthfuls.

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng had already arrived at Reynas's side, grabbed her arm, retreated again, and at the same time took out a bottle of Regeneration Potion and poured it into Reynas's mouth.

"Cough, thank you."

Reynas, with blood and blue potion in her mouth, let out a light cough and thanked him weakly, her expression showing a touch of decadence.

She realized that since arriving here, she had thought she could protect Tang Zheng, who was a magic caster not good at close-quarters combat, but as it turned out, not only had she not helped, she had instead become a burden to him.

After Tang Zheng pulled Reynas to a safe distance, he immediately looked in the direction of the humanoid monster.

=9+Shu_Ba

The Flame Archangels had already rushed in front of the opponent and attacked with flame swords, but the siege of the two Flame Archangels was actually avoided by that humanoid monster in an extremely agile manner.

This was completely unlike the movements a caster could display.

Are you sure the one you solved back then was this kind of humanoid monster?

Tang Zheng really wanted to ask the weak Reynas.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Tang Zheng pulled up the attribute panel to check the information on it.

【Discovered Second Rank magic "Blood Boiling", requires Mental-type Caster Level (8-14), current conditions not met...】

【Discovered Second Rank magic "Rapid Bleeding", requires Mental-type Caster Level (8-14), current conditions not met...】

【"Genius" class activated, conversion successful, learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?】

Mental-type magic caster?

Tang Zheng looked at the information displayed on the panel and looked with some surprise at the humanoid monster that was incredibly agile and constantly shifting under the siege of the two Flame Archangels.

As far as he knew.

Currently, the only one who possessed the Mental-type Caster class seemed to be Fluder of the Baharuth Empire; he didn't expect this humanoid monster in front of him to also possess such a class.

The opponent was not a monster at all!

But some kind of unknown demi-human, only the opponent's state was clearly not right.

Hum—

The information on the panel changed again.

【Discovered class skill "Wild Transformation", requires class "Forest Priest", current conditions met.】

【Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?】

Roar!

A beast-like roar came from the mouth of the petite humanoid monster.

In an instant!

The humanoid monster's body expanded rapidly at an extraordinary speed; in just two or three breaths, the humanoid monster, which was only sixty centimeters tall.

Turned into a giant lizard nearly ten meters long, covered in a layer of emerald-green hard scales, with eight legs!

Boom! Boom!

This giant emerald-green lizard raised its legs covered in sturdy scales and smashed them toward the two Flame Archangels, which were unable to react in time.

Just one strike!

The two Flame Archangels turned into points of light and dissipated from the air.

"Run!"

"It's a Basilisk!"

Reynas let out a loud roar, forced her weak body to stand up, raised her spear, and blocked in front of Tang Zheng.

This was a monster with a difficulty level exceeding 83, a monster that required an "Adamantite-rank" adventurer team to subjugate.

"Hiss-hoo!!"

After the Basilisk solved the two Flame Archangels, its eight legs moved rapidly, and it rushed over at a speed that defied its size.

Too fast!

A trace of despair appeared in Reynas's eyes.

Facing the foul, fishy stench that was already right in front of her, Reynas subconsciously wanted to close her eyes.

At this very moment.

A brilliant white light emerged from above, turning into a giant angel with a height of about three meters.

A silver long-handled hammer weapon appeared in the giant angel's right hand, and then it swung down fiercely!

Holy Strike.

Boom!

The Basilisk's head was smashed heavily into the ground, emitting a loud noise, and dust filled the sky.

Reynas stared blankly at this scene, feeling the warm light, looked at Tang Zheng who had already walked in front of her, and subconsciously asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I already say?"

"Copper-rank adventurer, Free Will Tang."

Tang Zheng's gentle and calm voice came from in front of her.
