Chapter 136: Comprehensive Level 28lv: The Ancient Eastern Giant Troll

Tang Zheng suppressed his excitement and looked at the profession skills at the very bottom; this was the ability he cared about most.

The "Dark Wave" skill provided by the "Cursed Knight" profession alone allowed his instantaneous explosive combat power to reach a level that surpassed his current rank.

Furthermore, after the "Cursed Knight" reached its max level of 5lv, his curse attacks already contained the ability of "Instant Death Curse."

The "Valkyrie" profession has three skills, and at its current 1lv, he has mastered one of them.

……

Skill: Purifying Throwing Spear

Cost: 3/day

Description: Creates a battle spear imbued with holy attributes to launch a long-range attack at an opponent, dealing damage equal to the current "Magic Attack" value (consumes 50 MP to guarantee a hit).

……

"A 'guaranteed hit,' huh."

Tang Zheng couldn't help but click his tongue; although he already had some understanding of this skill, he was still somewhat surprised.

The battle between Xia Xia Tiya and the Bone King was truly impressive, and the "guaranteed hit" attribute is extremely valuable in any game.

After finishing the skill description.

Tang Zheng realized this was a very powerful late-game skill; with his current "Magic Attack" value being so low, he was actually dragging down the power of this skill.

With the "Cursed Knight" reaching max level and the acquisition of the special profession "Valkyrie," he could clearly feel that his own strength had taken a major leap forward.

"Come here."

Tang Zheng looked at a Flame Archangel patrolling nearby.

Whoosh!

Its metallic, silver-yellow wings flapped.

The Flame Archangel hovered over and stopped in front of Tang Zheng.

He threw a punch!

Bang!

The silver armor on its chest caved in, and the astonishing force sent the Flame Archangel flying, crashing into a thick tree six meters away with a loud thud.

One of its silver-yellow wings was even snapped off by the force of the impact, turning into specks of light that dissipated in the air.

The Flame Archangel shakily crawled up from the ground; unable to fly due to the broken wing, it could only hobble back to Tang Zheng.

He looked at the Flame Archangel's chest.

A complete, indented fist print appeared, with a large number of fine cracks spreading across the surrounding silver-white armor.

Swish!

An iron sword appeared in his hand.

Tang Zheng slashed casually; a sharp, piercing sound cut through the air, and when the blade struck the armor on the Flame Archangel, it sparked with a dazzling red flash.

The next moment!

The Flame Archangel was sliced in half at the waist by Tang Zheng's casual strike, completely turning into specks of light and dissipating.

"The increase in strength is greater than I expected."

Tang Zheng clenched his fist and hopped a few times; whether it was physical agility or the sense of power, there was a very obvious increase.

Angels are inherently summoned monsters with high defense, making them perfect for experiments to let him clearly feel his own increase in strength.

This Flame Archangel was one level higher than the one he tested at the inn in "E-Rantel."

Back then.

He had to use a skill and his full strength to cleave through that Flame Archangel's chest plate, whereas this one was easily cut in half with a casual sword strike.

After a simple experiment.

Tang Zheng had a basic understanding of his own strength.

If he remembered correctly, the future Head Warrior Gazef could also destroy a Flame Archangel with a single sword strike, so there was nothing worth being complacent about.

He looked at the data displayed on the panel.

……

【Attribute Table】

Justice Value: 51 【Neutral】

HP: 233 (18%) MP: 48 (4%)

Physical Attack: 233 (18%)

Physical Defense: 118 (9%)

Magic Attack: 78 (6%)

Overall Resistance: 255 (20%)

Speciality: 230 (18%)

Total: 111%

……

The changes in the attribute table were the most conspicuous; the total percentage had exceeded 100%, with the most obvious increases being in the Overall Resistance and Speciality values.

Tang Zheng remembered his previous Overall Resistance was 150; now it had surged to 255, which must be related to the newly acquired "Divine Body," "Dark Attribute Resistance," and "Holy Attribute Resistance" traits.

He calculated it internally.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed; he already knew how this Overall Resistance was calculated.

His initial Overall Resistance was 0, and it only jumped to 150 after acquiring the "Cursed Knight" profession; calculating it against the newly acquired "Valkyrie" profession.

"Did one 'Complete Curse Resistance' provide 130 points? 'Divine Body' should be 65, and the 40% Dark Resistance plus 20% Holy Resistance added a total of 60 points."

Tang Zheng thought silently.

As for the surge in "Speciality," he now had a slight clue; it should be related to his passives and high-level professions.

"Awoo."

The little Evil Spirit Dog let out a soft cry, tucked its head, and trotted back.

"You sure run fast."

Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the little Evil Spirit Dog, which had run back to his feet with a fawning expression, and said coldly: "If you're this useless again, I'll feed you to someone else as food."

"Woo."

The bone chains on the little Evil Spirit Dog rattled, and it hurriedly stretched out its retracted neck.

He glanced at the surroundings.

A large area of withered plants came into view. As Tang Zheng stepped on the gray, decaying weeds, the blades of grass turned into fine, powdery substances like scorched residue the moment they were touched and dissipated.

"Let's go, it's time to pay a visit to the master of this forest." Tang Zheng said softly.

The little Evil Spirit Dog and the other Flame Archangel followed closely behind.

Forest Rift.

Looking down from above, one could notice this conspicuous area within the deep forest that resembled a green maze.

This was a hilly terrain with uneven ground.

Weeds grew in abundance, broken trees and the bones of wild beasts were discarded randomly throughout the area, and a large number of flies floated in the air, gathering in swarms on these bones.

From afar, it looked like a black mist.

Before even reaching this nearby area.

Tang Zheng had already smelled that indescribable, pungent odor in the air, a mixture of dozens of foul stenches.

=9+Shu_ba

"Did these trolls feed their sense of smell to a dog?"

Tang Zheng endured the smell and stepped onto the edge of this territory, searching with his eyes.

He soon discovered a conspicuous cave four or five meters high in the distance on the hilly terrain, and he could faintly hear roars similar to those of an ogre coming from deep within the cave.

"Lure them out."

Tang Zheng waved his arm, signaling the Flame Archangel to fly toward the cave.

He had no intention of entering the cave.

The smell outside alone was enough to make one want to plug their nose; Tang Zheng truly couldn't imagine what it smelled like inside.

Whoosh!

Wings flapping.

The Flame Archangel had already flown rapidly toward the front, and in a moment, it plunged into the cave.

Not long after.

The roars and shouts of ogres came from the dark cave, but they soon fell silent.

"Experience gained 312"

"Experience gained 310"

Given the level and strength of the Flame Archangel, dealing with two level-ten-something ogres was not a problem.

Another seven or eight minutes passed.

"Roar! Intruders!"

A roar similar to an ogre's, but with a voice even more rough and violent, came from inside the cave.

In a moment.

As a flash of light appeared from within the cave, the figure of the Flame Archangel rushed out from inside.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of heavy footsteps approached.

The first to rush out of the cave were three ogres; compared to ordinary ogres, these three were much larger, their brownish-yellow skin extremely rough, looking very tough.

Following closely behind.

Were six trolls, dark and bluish in color, with skin completely smooth compared to the rough, wart-and-spike-covered appearance of ogres.

Both in build and height, they were larger than the ogres, though the height difference wasn't too obvious, only about a head taller than the ogres.

The Flame Archangel wove through the air, flew to Tang Zheng's side, and hovered in mid-air.

Accompanying them was a gust of foul-smelling wind.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but pinch his nose and move slightly away from the Flame Archangel beside him before looking up toward the cave.

"These few are significantly stronger and fiercer than the troll I bought in the Imperial Capital."

Tang Zheng looked at these trolls and raised an eyebrow.

Boom!

Just then, an even heavier set of footsteps came from inside the cave; before the trolls in front could stand steady, a pair of thick arms directly shoved these trolls aside, pushing them to both sides.

Rumble!

Two of the trolls lost their footing and their massive bodies crashed to the ground, causing the earth to shake.

And this figure that walked out from behind the trolls was even larger and more terrifying, standing a full three meters tall, and its appearance was completely different from ordinary trolls, with skin the color of stone-green.

Its overall appearance was actually somewhat similar to an ogre.

Just one look.

One could clearly distinguish that this more terrifying troll was simply not the same species as the ordinary trolls and ogres.

Eastern Region Overlord — Troll Gu!

"Where is the shiny intruder!"

"A creature I've never seen before!"

Troll Gu's irritable voice came, and it casually swung a massive heavy sword in its hand that was nearly three meters long, comparable to its own height, and featured purple grooves.

Rumble!

Wherever the heavy sword passed, a powerful wind raged, kicking up a violent cloud of dust in the air ahead.

Seeing this scene,

The corner of Tang Zheng's eye twitched; judging solely by this posture and aura, the strength of the Troll Gu before him was definitely not below that of "Wu Wang" Ge Jin.

However, "Wu Wang" Ge Jin's combat techniques could likely crush Troll Gu.

"The troll race is truly peculiar."

Tang Zheng observed carefully and sighed softly at the two types of trolls before him.

He had seen three types of trolls so far: ordinary trolls, "Wu Wang" Ge Jin, and the Troll Gu before him.

Placed together, these three types of trolls didn't look like the same type of creature at all.

"Human?"

"It's a shiny creature!"

"I want to eat the weak human, haven't had one in a long time."

"Too many bones, not enough meat, doesn't taste good!"

"Shiny, never seen one, want to have a taste!"

"..."

"Intruders, kill them all!"

A group of trolls soon discovered Tang Zheng standing in the distance and the conspicuous Flame Archangel, each of them roaring and shouting excitedly.
