Chapter 177

The iron sword swung!

Fresh blood gushed again, and the gray-robed mage died once more.

"Experience gained: 10003"

【Experience Bar: 75980/120000】

"Su Sheng of the Dead!" Tang Zheng stared at the soul that floated up from the gray-robed mage again, his eyes narrowing.

Bright blue light surged along with the magic circle!

The magic aura emitted by the Fifth Rank magic made the air heavy again.

"Ah—"

The gray-robed mage screamed, and the first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to roll violently toward the rear right, wanting to open up distance from Tang Zheng.

Fear filled his heart.

The gray-robed mage's confidence had always come from the Alliance Leader's powerful strength and the "Su Sheng Magic" he mastered.

Even if he died, he could be resurrected again relying on the Alliance Leader's power; it was nothing more than losing some strength, and he could raise it back up again as long as he spent some time.

However!

If the enemy also mastered resurrection magic, then for the gray-robed mage...

No!

For any enemy of the other party, that is the true terror.

The life level drop from two consecutive resurrections made the gray-robed mage feel an unprecedented sense of weakness; the wretched rolling had already made him unable to care about dignity.

He had to respond before he completely lost his strength; if he died one more time, he was afraid he would truly not even have a shred of ability to resist.

As a powerhouse in the Hero-level domain, he would be enough to make those nobles reveal humble and fawning expressions in any country.

To think that one day he would die in such a remote place.

Damn it!!

"I have a lot of money, as well as precious magic items. You are also a magic caster; you should know the difficulty of obtaining some powerful magic." The gray-robed mage was wretched, his voice speaking sharply.

The fact that the other party used resurrection magic to resurrect him and then kill him again meant the other party would never let him go.

He naturally did not expect Tang Zheng to agree, but as long as the other party had a hint of hesitation, it would be enough for him to prepare magic.

Bang.

A dull sound rang out, the gray-robed mage's vision went black, and he fainted, lying on the ground limply.

"A magic caster, yet quite agile." Tang Zheng looked at the gray-robed mage under his feet and praised.

He took out a pocket watch.

Tang Zheng looked at the time on the pocket watch, calculated silently in his heart, and the iron sword in his hand swung down again without hesitation.

Blood beads slid down the blade.

This time, Tang Zheng did not use the 【Mad Mage】 profession skill, but chose to use his own magic power, preserving one opportunity for the "Mad Meditation" skill.

"Experience gained: 4251"

【mp: 188→138】

"Su Sheng of the Dead."

Eh?

Tang Zheng's gaze flashed; the experience actually dropped so much, falling directly from the 10,000 experience just now to around four thousand.

"The soul also doesn't seem as clear as it was at the beginning; it has become a bit more illusory." Tang Zheng used the 【Shaman Mentor】 passive.

He could clearly observe the state of the soul after every death of the gray-robed mage. Besides the drop in life level on the surface, the soul also seemed to have suffered certain damage.

"Or perhaps, people with great strength not only have an increase in life level, but their souls themselves also receive a certain strengthening."

"During the process of dropping levels, the body and soul drop in level simultaneously, so this situation should also occur."

Tang Zheng pondered silently in his heart, but the movements of his hands did not pause in the slightest.

Puchi!

"Experience gained: 676"

【mp: 138→88】

"Su Sheng of the Dead."

Puchi!

Tang Zheng swung his sword and killed the gray-robed mage who had just been resurrected again, only this time he did not resurrect the other party again.

"The experience value has become three digits; he should have already dropped below level 20." Tang Zheng stared at the gray-robed mage's corpse and calculated silently in his heart.

The level range of the Hero-level domain is "29-35", and counting this death, he has already died five times.

According to the dropped level calculation, if the other party were to be resurrected again, the level should be in the "9-15" range.

Click!

Tang Zheng took out the pocket watch again, checked the time on it, and his eyes narrowed: "Time for the second preparation."

The next moment.

Taking out a large bucket of Ogre blood from the item box, Tang Zheng began to earnestly set up the "Magic Rise" magic ritual on the ground.

Since the gray-robed mage is a member of "Zuranon," then that Alliance Leader should also be able to perceive the gray-robed mage's death.

Tang Zheng did not know the time it took for that Alliance Leader to set up the magic ritual when performing long-distance resurrection.

But he could roughly estimate a time frame based on Khajiit, whom he killed last time.

The reason Tang Zheng did not resurrect the gray-robed mage again was for the sake of experimentation.

Next, if he and the "Zuranon" Alliance Leader used resurrection magic at the same time, where the gray-robed mage would be resurrected is the experiment. This point is very important!

Because this concerns how to deal with Quine-Aise next.

During this process, Tang Zheng naturally would consider the worst result; if the resurrection magic launched by the "Zuranon" Alliance Leader through the ritual is of higher intensity than normal resurrection magic.

It is very likely that the possibility of the gray-robed mage being resurrected at the "Zuranon" Alliance Leader's side would appear.

Although he felt this possibility was relatively low, after all, the complete corpse of the gray-robed mage was on his side, but he still had to make preparations.

Even faith-based magic can be cast by magic-based magic casters; it is unknown what other strange and bizarre means humans in this world can come up with.

Therefore, one must be prepared with a backup plan.

"The magic power consumed by the modified 'Su Sheng of the Dead' is too much; it is just a pity that the current level of faith-based magic is not enough."

Tang Zheng lowered his upper body, his movements earnest, carefully setting up the magic circle on the ground.

About an hour or so!

!.

The magic ritual was finally set up.

Tang Zheng first glanced at the gray-robed mage's corpse, and after there was no movement for the time being, he stood up and walked to the very center of the magic ritual.

Hum—

As Tang Zheng released his own magic power, this force immediately connected with the magic ritual on the ground, and a circular magic ritual, dominated by star and tree patterns, lit up under his feet.

Invisible air currents surged, blowing the priest robe on Tang Zheng's body until it puffed up.

"Magic Rise · Seventh Rank Magic—"

Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and in the originally pitch-black wetland forest, a dazzling white light appeared, directly dispelling the darkness within the area.

Whoosh!

A magic circle five meters in diameter, emitting bright white light and a holy aura, condensed above Tang Zheng's head.

Immediately after.

On top of the large magic circle, another small magic circle with a diameter of only three meters formed again, combining two layers of magic circles in the air.

Holy and powerful magic power fluctuations gathered and surged in mid-air, and dots of white light, like dazzling yet soft rays of light, illuminated this area brightly.

The bloody smell permeating the air dissipated directly, and even the thick fog that had been shrouding the depths of the wetland forest was dispelled by a large area.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the double-layered magic circle condensed above his head.

This commotion is a bit too big, right?

As the caster, Tang Zheng could clearly feel how big the gap is between Seventh Rank magic and Fifth Rank magic.

After a brief moment of being stunned, Tang Zheng felt his magic power being rapidly extracted.

"Mad Meditation!"

Tang Zheng let out a low shout in his heart, driving the profession skill.

The magic power that was about to be extracted paused, and along with it, the entire casting process of the Seventh Rank magic also completely stabilized.

"Resuscitation!"

This is the Seventh Rank resurrection magic.

In the situation of having mastered Fifth Rank resurrection magic, it was cast with the help of the "Magic Rise" ability.

As the magic was activated, powerful force began to condense, but at this instant, Tang Zheng immediately used another passive ability of the 【Mad Mage】.

"Magic Pre-preparation!"

The dazzling magic light in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and the entire wetland forest was once again shrouded in darkness.

And "Seventh Rank Magic · Resuscitation" had already been stored in the passive ability of "Magic Pre-preparation."

"It's over."

Tang Zheng exhaled gently, a smile appearing on his face.

This is the backup plan to deal with the subsequent situation.

If the intensity of the resurrection means used by the "Zuranon" Alliance Leader through the ritual is higher than normal resurrection magic, then release the prepared "Resuscitation."

Hum—

'Seventh Rank Magic "Resuscitation" discovered, requires believer casting level (43-49), current conditions not met.'

Information appeared on the attribute panel.

Tang Zheng glanced at it and then helplessly withdrew his gaze.

He currently only has four faith-based magic caster professions, with a comprehensive level of 40; even if he adds the level of the newly acquired 【Mad Mage】, it does not meet the conditions.

"Next, it is just waiting."

Tang Zheng looked at the gray-robed mage's corpse and spoke softly.

Azerlisia Mountains.

Mount Raba-Sleia.

As a huge mountain range separating the Empire and the Kingdom, with the rise in altitude, it should be covered by ice and snow all year round; however, within the mountain range, there is a unique area that completely violates common sense.

The scorching air is like an invisible raging fire, making the entire space emit an extremely high temperature; if an ordinary person were here, they would burn their lungs and die just by taking a single breath of the scorching air.
