Chapter 172: Passive Composite Magic! Fierce Battle! The Curtain Falls!

This black-haired youth has problems!

Quine-Aise's expression remained peaceful, but a trace of solemnity appeared in the depths of his eyes.

If he had only thought the opponent was a bluffing idiot who thought he had some talent and power before, then whether it was the magic ritual he activated, or the summoning of angels, or the series of spells released to counter that gray-robed mage.

With such high-intensity magical power consumption, the opponent didn't show any weakness from excessive consumption.

Innate talent? Magic item?

No matter what it was—

The strength displayed by the opponent had reached the level where it must be reported to his superiors.

It was just that his private actions here could not be told to anyone, otherwise, he would not only be kicked out of the 【Black Scripture】 elite unit.

Even his family would be affected!

Luck is truly bad; clearly a sure thing, yet such a mysterious guy jumped out inexplicably.

"Petrified Lizard!"

Quine-Aise's bright red pupils turned cold, his heart extremely annoyed; now was not the time to hold back.

"Roar!" Accompanied by a roar, the entire ground shook, and a giant petrified lizard ten meters long appeared in front of Quine-Aise.

The shaking sound continued.

"Crimson Lizard!"

A fire-red lizard, covered in red patterns and looking ferocious, smaller than the petrified lizard, also appeared on the field.

In the blink of an eye!

In front of Quine-Aise, four giant lizards had already gathered: two water-blue lizards, one petrified lizard, and one fire-red lizard.

However, this was not over yet.

Quine-Aise raised his right hand, and a magic item ring on his middle finger suddenly shattered, causing his aura to rise a notch.

"Two-Headed Evil Dog!"

"Swamp Giant Crocodile!"

"Black-Scaled Beetle!"

"Poison Gland Wolf Spider!"

"Frenzied Tree Spirit!"

"Manticore!"

Fierce, violent roars and growls constantly rang out in the forest.

Ten monsters, with the smallest being three meters long and the largest being ten meters long, appeared one after another, their terrifying auras permeating wantonly.

These monsters, placed in any jungle, could be called top-tier predators that were regional overlords, yet they gathered here together!

The jungle of this wetland area seemed to be shrouded by an invisible aura.

Whether it was the bird calls in the distance or the bugs on the ground, they all disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"Ten monsters? Is this the strength of a member of the Black Scripture?" Tang Zheng rarely showed a trace of surprise, his eyelids twitching.

Through the aura emitted by these monsters, he could determine that they were all at the level of level 20+.

Especially that giant petrified lizard, which should have reached the maximum level of 28lv for that species.

He quickly scanned the attribute panel, looking at the information appearing above.

Mid-Rank Profession 【Magic Beast Summoner】.

"Don't be so surprised."

"It's not just you who masters power beyond ordinary understanding. You should feel honored to be able to witness this strength."

Quine-Aise's voice came from behind the monsters that were all revealing ferocious gazes.

Clatter—

The ten huge monsters dispersed to both sides, and Quine-Aise walked out with a calm pace, looking at Tang Zheng opposite, smiling slightly: "Now you can answer again, who is the one who will die?"

"You are indeed stronger than that guy."

Tang Zheng exhaled lightly: "I think the one who will die is still you."

The air went quiet.

Boom!

All ten powerful monsters moved.

"Fifth Rank Magic—"

Tang Zheng's magical power boiled, and a stream of red sparks emerged from his arms, rapidly gathering in front of his chest, forming a dragon-shaped flame.

This was using the passive ability "Elemental Attribute Change" to change the original "Dragon Thunder" to "Dragon Flame."

Tang Zheng had experimented with the differences in magic attacks of different attributes after converting the four main attributes using the "Silver Knight Spear" before.

He found that the wind element had the strongest destructive power, but the fire element would cause area-of-effect damage; not to mention that "Dragon Thunder" itself was not entirely a single-target attack spell.

Whoosh—

While the dragon-shaped flame was condensing, a dragon-shaped hurricane formed by cyan strong winds also gathered on Tang Zheng's body.

Flames and hurricanes rose from Tang Zheng's body, gathering in mid-air, forming an even more terrifying magical power aura.

These were clearly two spells!

A normal magic caster could not use two spells at the same time unless they used special magic enhancement means like "Magic Double/Triple Casting."

But even so, it was just releasing two or three identical spells at the same time, not two different spells.

This situation was naturally the ability of the 【Mad Mage】 passive "Magic Advance Preparation," preparing a spell in advance.

The purpose of his nonsense with Quine-Aise just now was to secretly store this spell.

"Dragon Flame, Dragon Wind!"

Tang Zheng stared, releasing two Fifth Rank spells simultaneously.

The two forces collided in mid-air, merging together, just like pouring a mass of hot oil onto a burning flame, the violent flames expanding.

It expanded in mid-air into a flame dragon head about four meters in size, burning with red light.

Boom!

The moment the dragon head flame collided with those ten monsters, it exploded immediately, forming a sky-high wave of fire that swept through the surroundings.

Violent roars and screams came from the numerous monsters.

The surrounding jungle was completely swallowed by the flames, the dazzling firelight soared into the sky, a large number of trees turned into ashes, and the residual branches and rotting leaves on the ground were burned away in one breath.

The ten terrifying monsters that had originally rushed over only let out a few screams before disappearing along with the surrounding trees.

A Fifth Rank magic attack was not something that level-20 monsters could block, not to mention the cooperation of "Dragon Fire" and "Dragon Wind," which exerted power far exceeding normal Fifth Rank spells.

As the firelight dissipated,

A large area of the jungle in front had disappeared, and a scorched earth appeared in front of Tang Zheng.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from under the scorched ground.

Quine-Aise rushed into the sky in a sorry state, flying rapidly toward the sky.

A flying magic item!

"He really didn't die!"

Tang Zheng saw Quine-Aise not dying under that level of magic attack, but he didn't feel any surprise.

The prompt for gaining experience hadn't appeared.

No matter what, he was a member of the 【Black Scripture】; if he didn't have any trump cards, that would naturally be impossible.

Flight!

A stream of magical power quickly wrapped around his entire body.

"You two, one watch the gray-robed mage, the other go catch the twin witches back!" Tang Zheng instructed the two Peace Dominion Authority Angels beside him, and followed closely into the air.

"Damn it!"

"What on earth is going on with that guy!"

Quine-Aise's exquisite, soft golden hair became messy, and there were quite a few scorched marks on the ends of his hair, looking very sorry.

The airflow generated during rapid flight constantly scraped past him, making his blackened cloak rustle loudly in the gale.

Quine-Aise pulled hard, tearing off the inconspicuous gray cloak on his body and throwing it down.

This was a very expensive magic defensive gear, which not only had the ability of "Invisibility" and resisting detection magic but also possessed excellent protective effects.

But facing two Fifth Rank magic attacks, it clearly couldn't hold up and was completely ruined!

Quine-Aise's face was already so gloomy it was about to drip water; all ten of his strongest monsters had died.

"Suffer heavy losses" wasn't enough to describe Quine-Aise's heartache at this moment; these were powerful monsters he had spent a huge amount of energy to collect. They could deal with various opponents and different environments!

Most importantly, half of his strength was further enhanced by relying on these monsters; now that the ten strongest monsters had died, it already indicated.

He had completely lost to that mysterious youth.

Something is wrong—

Something is very wrong; the opponent must have secrets on him!

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking air from the pursuit came from behind.

Quine-Aise's expression changed, his gaze quickly looking at Tang Zheng who had already caught up from behind, cursing secretly, and he raised his hand to remove the ring on his left thumb.

He spread his palm and waved it toward the back, and the ring on his left index finger flashed with a bright light!

Holy Light!

Dazzling light was released, forming piercing rays of light.

"So many means!" Tang Zheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his expression serious, quickly scanning the attribute panel.

The number of magic items on the opponent was too many, which led to Quine-Aise's various means, which even Tang Zheng couldn't predict.

=9+Shu_Ba

And as a "Magic Beast Summoner" and "Tamer," and a member of the 【Black Scripture】, his response strategies to his own weaknesses and combat capabilities were absolutely not something ordinary human powerhouses in the Hero Realm could compare to.

In short!

Quine-Aise must absolutely not be allowed to escape, otherwise, his trouble would be big.

What Tang Zheng was most wary of was not being able to determine whether Quine-Aise could contact the Slane Theocracy.

Skipping the magic prompt for "Holy Light," he looked at the newly appeared magic reminder.

【Discovered skill "Water Lizard's Invisibility", requires Mid-Rank Profession 【Hunter】, current conditions not met......】

【"Genius" profession activated, basic profession successfully converted, learning conditions met, do you want to consume 3 skill points to learn?】

Another Mid-Rank Profession!

Tamer, Magic Beast Summoner, Hunter!

The profession structure of one basic profession and two mid-rank professions of the opponent became clear in front of Tang Zheng.

The forward flying motion stopped.

As the dazzling light dissipated, where was Quine-Aise's figure in front?

In the vast, empty sky, there was nothing, except for the gale blowing from time to time, not even a sound.

Tang Zheng hovered in mid-air, observing the surroundings with sharp eyes; he hadn't mastered detection-type magic, so he couldn't determine Quine-Aise's position after invisibility.

Even if he had mastered that magic.

Tang Zheng guessed that Quine-Aise also possessed countermeasures.

Which direction did he escape to?

No!

A sharp light flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes; based on Quine-Aise's performance just now, he indeed appeared to be running away, but the opponent's third profession was 【Hunter】.

Facing the pursuit of a magic caster, opening the distance is not the correct choice; if Tang Zheng were Quine-Aise, then what he truly needed to do after invisibility was not to run away, but—

"Mind's Eye!"

Tang Zheng muttered in his heart.

Invisible perception spread from himself as the center toward the surroundings, forming a perception space about five meters in diameter.

Silently!

Quine-Aise's invisible figure had already circled behind Tang Zheng, holding a purple venom-coated dagger in his hand.

"Swamp Crocodile's Strong Jaw Strike!" Quine-Aise's eyes were cold, stabbing heavily toward Tang Zheng's back heart.

Go to hell!

Bang.

White light spots condensed, and a Third Rank Flame Archangel appeared behind Tang Zheng.

Crack!

The purple dagger easily tore through the silver-white armor on the Flame Archangel and pierced through it, and the Flame Archangel turned into light spots and dissipated.

And Tang Zheng also took advantage of the Flame Archangel's brief obstruction to pull away again in the manner of a magic caster.

【Death Orb: 50→25/280】

"Dragon Thunder!"

Tang Zheng raised both hands, dazzling blue lightning gathered between his arms, condensing into dragon-shaped thunder, blasting fiercely.

"Petrified Lizard's Protection!"

Quine-Aise's red eyes widened, retreating from the invisible state, and he roared.

A layer of rock-like stone scales emerged all over his body.

Boom!

"Ah!!"

Piercing electric light shrouded Quine-Aise, emitting a painful muffled groan, and the stone-like scales on his skin turned scorched black.

"You are truly tricky, Goldie." Tang Zheng saw the opponent forcibly withstand this magic attack, his eyelids twitching, and he shouted loudly.

The stored magical power in the "Death Orb" was only 25 points left, and he could use one more Fifth Rank spell.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the magical power in the "Death Orb" was completely exhausted in one battle.

"Who on earth are you!" Quine-Aise's stone scales disappeared, revealing large areas of burn marks, his expression somewhat twisted and painful as he roared:

"There is absolutely no existence with your strength in any country."

Click—

A light sound came from a ring on Quine-Aise's right hand, shattering between his fingers.

"Deep Red Owl's Flash Strike!" Quine-Aise held the purple dagger, ignoring the injuries on his body, and spoke ferociously.

Swish!

Quine-Aise's figure disappeared again, but this time it wasn't invisibility, but appearing behind Tang Zheng out of thin air in a strange way.

This time the appearance was closer and faster!

But.

Under the ability of "Mind's Eye," Tang Zheng perceived Quine-Aise appearing behind him for the first time, and a translucent wind-attribute spear condensed in mid-air.

"Hurricane Knight Spear!"

Tang Zheng didn't need to look back; the Hurricane Knight Spear in front of him had already been thrown.

Whoosh!

The Hurricane Knight Spear kicked up a fierce air shock, instantly colliding with Quine-Aise, who had appeared behind Tang Zheng.

At such a close distance, with the speed erupted by the Hurricane Knight Spear, even if Quine-Aise possessed a ring that could deflect magic attacks, he simply didn't have time to dodge.

Boom!

The Hurricane Knight Spear pierced through Quine-Aise's chest, and the powerful destructive power almost tore the opponent's body into two sections.

Blood and flesh splattered in the air!

"Ah!!!"

Quine-Aise let out a scream and smashed heavily toward the ground.

Facing the arrival of death, his deep red pupils, which were beginning to dilate, struggled to look at the blurry figure hovering above.

"The matter cannot be hidden; perhaps I can muddle through." This thought flashed through Quine-Aise's mind, and then a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Heh, you will soon understand... what kind of existence you have provoked."

Boom!

A loud noise came from the jungle, and a deep pit appeared on the earth.

Tang Zheng was briefly stunned, because Quine-Aise had no resistance at all when facing the Hurricane Knight Spear's attack just now.

"Damn it!"

Tang Zheng reacted and descended quickly.

He found Quine-Aise lying in the deep pit, his chest completely torn apart by the Hurricane Knight Spear, with only the skin on both sides barely connected, not completely dismembered.

At this moment!

The opponent's aura was already weak to the point of being almost imperceptible.

Without a moment's hesitation.

Bottles of regeneration potions were taken out and sprinkled on the opponent like they were free.

Once Quine-Aise dies, the Slane Theocracy will surely know, especially the God-kin Captain of the 【Black Scripture】, as the other party is responsible for the resurrection matters of the entire team.

And the most tricky "Thousand Leagues Astrologer"!

That detection-type magic caster wearing a uniform similar to a high school student.

The Other World doesn't have such high school uniforms; the set of clothes on the opponent is very likely equipment items left behind by the Six Great Gods.

In the anime, the opponent could lock and observe the battlefield of the Kingdom from a long distance, so naturally, they also had the ability to lock onto the Great Wetland.
