Chapter 110

"Hiss-roar."

The Basilisk, whose head had been smashed into the ground by the hammer, let out a violent hiss, its lower body twisted rapidly, and its long, rough green tail lashed out.

Whoosh!

A sharp sonic boom sounded in the air as the tail lashed out with fierce force toward the newly summoned giant angel.

Facing this attack.

The giant angel raised its left arm across its chest; on the outer edge of this left arm was a pale gold shield imprinted with a sun mark.

Bang!

The tail struck the shield heavily, emitting a loud noise, but the angel's body didn't even move.

The silver long-handled hammer swung.

Boom!

The giant angel smashed down forcefully again, driving the Basilisk's head, which had just struggled to lift, back into the ground.

Two consecutive heavy strikes.

Allowed the Basilisk, which had just been somewhat manic, to regain a trace of clarity in its green pupils.

"Hiss-roar, hiss-roar." The Basilisk twisted its body, its eight legs pulled back rapidly, lifting its head from the ground and retreating.

The fin-like, spike-covered protrusion on the Basilisk's head had been broken by the giant angel's two strikes and was bleeding.

Raising his gaze.

Tang Zheng looked at this giant angel.

Its appearance was inherited from the Flame Archangel, but compared to the Flame Archangel, which had no features other than a flame sword,

this giant angel held a giant hammer and a shield, and a yellow glowing cloth-like object hung down from each side of its shoulders and waist.

Most eye-catching!

Was that the wings behind this giant angel had become two pairs, though the top pair was truly too small; it would be more appropriate to call them decorations than wings.

Principality of Observation (22lv)!

After he mastered 【Cursed Knight】 and reached level 22, he was stuck at meeting the conditions for "Fourth Rank · Angel Summoning."

Facing the newly summoned Fourth Rank angel.

Tang Zheng's expression was not good; if it weren't necessary, he didn't want to use his magic power directly.

"Two strikes didn't cause effective damage; compared to defense, the attack is indeed insufficient."

Seeing the Basilisk still in a manic state, Tang Zheng knew that the giant angel's two heavy hammer strikes had not caused effective damage to the Basilisk.

However!

Being able to be blocked by the lowest-level Principality of Observation showed that this Basilisk, transformed from a humanoid monster, did not reach the difficulty level of around 83 that Reynas mentioned.

Calculated by actual level, difficulty level 83 should be between "27lv-28lv."

This level is already close to the Hero Realm.

At this moment.

Reynas recovered from her daze and looked at Tang Zheng's back as he stood with the Principality of Observation, wearing a white priest's robe.

"The strength of an Adamantite-ranked adventurer; I actually intended to make a move against him back then." A bitter smile appeared on Reynas's pale, weak face.

"Hiss-roar!!"

The Basilisk, which had retreated a distance, suddenly had earth-brown light emitting from its green pupils.

"Return!" Tang Zheng's thought moved.

The Principality of Observation immediately descended from the sky and blocked in front of Tang Zheng and Reynas.

Swish!

The magic light of the petrification ray was released from the Basilisk's eyes and landed on the Principality of Observation.

But there was not the slightest sign of petrification on the Principality of Observation's body.

"Angels are not flesh-and-blood creatures; the petrification ray is useless." Tang Zheng walked out from behind the Principality of Observation and sneered.

"Hiss-roar!"

The Basilisk was clearly stunned for a moment, then turned and ran without hesitation, its figure rushing rapidly toward the distant jungle.

Seeing the opponent's action.

Tang Zheng's gaze changed.

This humanoid monster must not be allowed to escape!

It is very likely some kind of mysterious demi-human living here, and perhaps it knows why curse power exists within the bodies of the monsters here.

Thinking of this.

Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Reynas, who was in an extremely poor state, her entire body stained red with blood.

With her strength as an "Orichalcum-ranked" adventurer, she shouldn't be in such a sorry state, but the curse power contained in this place clearly had a significant impact on Reynas.

Tang Zheng's hand inside his sleeve produced a Third Rank magic scroll and squeezed it hard.

A Flame Archangel appeared.

"Your current situation is not suitable for going deeper; let the Flame Archangel take you out of this swamp first."

Tang Zheng spoke quickly, letting the Flame Archangel pick up the weak Reynas.

"Sorry." Reynas's lips moved, her blood-stained golden hair covering most of her face, and she spoke in a low voice.

"I'm not doing this just for you."

"I am also very interested in the situation here."

Tang Zheng smiled gently, then leaped, using the groove at the joint of the Principality of Observation's armor to land on its shoulder.

Whoosh!

The Principality of Observation flapped its wings, carrying Tang Zheng in pursuit of the direction the Basilisk had fled.

The Flame Archangel carried Reynas and returned toward the swamp.

Over here.

Tang Zheng and the Principality of Observation flew rapidly over the low bushes and arrived at the edge of the deep forest; the tall, dense branches and leaves were quite unfriendly to the massive Principality of Observation.

"Finally, I can act alone."

Looking at the jungle in front of him, Tang Zheng felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, especially with no one else around; some abilities no longer needed to be hidden.

=9+Shu_ba

Flipping his palm, a bone magic item appeared.

It was the magic item with the "Forest Traversal" ability that he had obtained from the Hobgoblin Mu Guo.

"Track!"

Tang Zheng scanned with his eyes and activated the "Mobile Corps Commander" skill.

In the dense jungle ahead, a route where some large creature had passed quickly appeared in Tang Zheng's field of vision.

"Follow it." Tang Zheng held the bone item and controlled the angel to move forward.

Under the effect of this magic item, wherever the massive body of the Principality of Observation passed, the lush branches and leaves in the jungle all retreated, revealing a wide forest path.

Monsters like the Basilisk like to live in dark, narrow burrows and are naturally adept at moving quickly in narrow environments.

Terrain like a forest would not have much impact on a Basilisk of such massive size.

Under these circumstances.

In less than ten minutes, Tang Zheng and the Principality of Observation had caught up to the Basilisk that had entered the forest and disappeared first.

At the same time!

The Basilisk also discovered Tang Zheng following it, and its green beast pupils were filled with anger.

"Hiss-roar, hu, human..."

"Lea, leave!"

The Basilisk turned its body, roared, and let out intermittent, stiff words.

"Leaving is fine, but before leaving, some things must be clarified."

Tang Zheng stood on the shoulder of the Principality of Observation, looked at the Basilisk crawling in the forest opposite, and continued:

"About the curse..."

As soon as the words "curse" were uttered, the trace of clarity in its green beast pupils was replaced by anger, and a beast-like roar rang out.

Boom!

The branches and trees in the forest shook, and the Basilisk lunged over.

"Holy Strike!"

A white light flashed across the silver long hammer in the Principality of Observation's hand, and it raised its arm to smash down heavily.

Compared to the angels summoned by the first three ranks of "Angel Summoning," from the Fourth Rank onwards, the summoned angels began to master certain skills or magic.

This information was automatically perceived the moment Tang Zheng summoned the Principality of Observation.

The Principality of Observation has three abilities in total: "Holy Strike," "Holy Protection," and "Mass Lower Defense Enhancement," which can increase the defense of friendly units within its field of vision.

However, the third skill requires the Principality of Observation to be in a stationary state to be activated; once it starts moving, the "Mass Lower Defense Enhancement" ability will automatically deactivate.

Boom!

The silver long hammer struck the Basilisk's head again, causing it to stagger.

But this time!

The Basilisk clearly had experience in dealing with it; although its head was knocked askew, two of its eight limbs immediately hugged the Principality of Observation's arm firmly, making it unable to launch another attack.

Immediately after.

Its massive body, nearly ten meters long, pressed down all at once.

The Basilisk's green eyeballs rolled, landing on Tang Zheng, and it opened its foul-smelling mouth to bite.

"Sorry, you picked the wrong opponent."

Tang Zheng saw the Basilisk's action, his gaze turning cold, "Dark Wave!"

The 【Cursed Knight】 skill activated, and black energy spread in all directions with Tang Zheng as the center.

The Basilisk's body immediately froze in place.

I wanted to update three chapters, but something else got in the way...
