Chapter 294: Leader Who Almost Capsized in the Gutter, Unilateral Duel

Tang Zheng stepped on the Bone Dragon and soared into the sky, confronting the Leader hovering in mid-air.

"I said, this is my territory."

"As for your subordinate, he is my person now." Tang Zheng deliberately let out a sinister cold laugh, showing an arrogant appearance after possessing the Bone Dragon.

The Leader of 【Zuranon】 was very mysterious.

Besides whether he truly possessed the strength of a Seventh Rank spell, Tang Zheng was most interested in his identity.

So!

Should he solve it directly and obtain information from the other party's mouth!

Tang Zheng's eyes hidden under the hood flickered slightly; such a powerhouse must know a lot of useful information, and there was only one Khajiit on the scene.

There was no need to worry about leaks.

Even if the other party really mastered the power of a Seventh Rank spell, one "Pure Throwing Spear" would be enough to severely injure them.

If they still had the ability to resist, another "Chain Dragon Lightning" would be enough.

The only thing Tang Zheng couldn't make a decision on immediately was the identity of the Leader of 【Zuranon】.

He had long speculated that there were only three possibilities.

1: The Leader was an independent individual, perhaps related to the country where the destruction occurred 200 years ago.

2: A member of the 【Abyssal Body】, an organization hidden extremely deep in the other world.

3: A person from the Slane Theocracy.

The first two were easy to talk about, but if it was the third possibility, it would be slightly troublesome.

The Slane Theocracy had just noticed the anomaly in the Abelion Hills, and this Leader suddenly appeared in the hilly region; Tang Zheng couldn't help but think in this direction.

"Bone Dragon, what a powerful special undead."

The Leader let out a sigh of admiration, and the killing intent in his tone dissipated a lot.

In such a short time, he was able to collect the negative energy to summon a Bone Dragon; the Leader suspected whether Tang Zheng possessed some kind of ability to quickly collect negative energy.

Eyeing the "Spiral of Death Ritual".

So that's it!

The Leader seemed to have associated something, and the black negative energy mist on his body vibrated gently.

"A Bone Dragon with absolute resistance to magic?"

"Being too confident is not a good thing!"

The Leader let out a cold laugh, and the area on the left side of his body shrouded in black mist squirmed; a strange magic staff made of dark gray bone poked out from inside, letting his skin-and-bone palm grab it:

"The power of magic is endless; the existence of a Bone Dragon makes magic casters helpless…… Heh, that's just ignorance of not having truly seen more powerful power."

"There are many ways to solve a Bone Dragon, for example—Fifth Rank Undead Summoning: Skeleton Griffin!"

Rich negative energy gathered in mid-air, and from the black energy, a skeleton griffin, only one person tall, emitting rich death aura and composed of bones, materialized.

"Hiss!"

The skeleton griffin flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, twisting, and the skeleton head like a lion let out a faint hiss.

"Go." The Leader spoke in a low voice.

Wow!

The skeleton griffin flapped its wings violently, and its body flew like a sharp arrow; perhaps because its body was entirely composed of light bones.

It showed a terrifying speed far exceeding ordinary flying creatures, turning into a white afterimage and rushing over rapidly in mid-air.

"Using summons to take a head-on physical offensive, this is not the result I want." Tang Zheng understood the Leader's intention.

He thought the Leader was going to show a Seventh Rank spell, but it turned out to be a means of restraint using summons; after all, the Bone Dragon was ultimately just a level 16 monster.

"Dragon Lightning!"

Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't allow this skeleton griffin to get close, raised his palm, and released a dazzling, surging thunder.

Unexpectedly, the magic missed!

It wasn't that the Leader interfered, but that the skeleton griffin dodged this blow.

Boom!

After dodging the magic attack, the skeleton griffin had already rushed to the side of the Bone Dragon, easily smashing half of the Bone Dragon's wings with its body.

Crack——

Broken white bones scattered in mid-air!

Because the wings were damaged, the Bone Dragon's entire body tilted, but it could barely maintain flight, not falling completely from the sky.

Completing this blow!

The skeleton griffin didn't continue to attack, but turned back and quickly retreated to the Leader's side.

"The skeleton griffin not only possesses extremely fast speed but also has very excellent dodging ability; taking a single-target magic attack is a wrong decision."

The Leader let out a proud chuckle, as if proving what he just said, that the Bone Dragon was not an existence that magic casters couldn't resist.

"You are very good, whether it is the means of exercising Fifth Rank magic or the means of summoning a Bone Dragon."

"They have already far exceeded the limits of what ordinary people know, those "Adamantite-ranked" adventurers who claim to be national heroes."

"Join our 【Zuranon】!"

The Leader looked in Tang Zheng's direction and invited him in a loud voice.

Tang Zheng's strength shown so far was completely in a class of its own among the 12 high apprentices.

Not to mention anything else, just based on the Bone Dragon and the "Fly" spell mastered by the other party, the other high apprentice members couldn't do anything about Tang Zheng.

"Being too confident is not a good thing, Leader of 【Zuranon】." Tang Zheng heard the other party's invitation and made a ridiculous tone.

The Leader's face sank; he had just said this sentence, and besides, the other party didn't seem to show surprise after the Bone Dragon was damaged.

"Join 【Zuranon】?"

"Too funny, what can I get by joining you? It won't just be the useless name of a secret society that scares ordinary people."

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "I still think slaughtering you will make me happier."

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Gravity Reversal!"

Hum——hum——

A shocking gravitational force suddenly surged from the ground.

Boom!

The skeleton griffin's speed was useless at this moment, uncontrollably smashing heavily from the high sky to the ground, pressing out a deep pit.

The skeleton griffin struggled to get up, its whole body's bones constantly making "creaking" sounds, but it couldn't break free.

Swish!

The Leader's figure followed closely behind; relying on the Fly spell clearly couldn't isolate the influence of gravity, and his whole body was like being filled with lead, falling straight toward the ground.

Through the comparison of the skeleton griffin's falling speed, the Leader was clearly struggling, but it didn't play much of a role.

"Shield Wall!"

The Leader chanted quickly.

A translucent magic barrier wrapped around his whole body, offsetting the falling damage the moment he landed, standing on the ground somewhat embarrassedly.

"You angered me!"

The figure shrouded in black mist made a looking-up motion, and the magnetic voice that could originally be maintained now became dry and hoarse.

"Dragon Lightning!"

"Don't think that only you can use this spell, Dragon Lightning!"

Two surging thunder lights collided in mid-air, the dazzling white light illuminated the mid-air, making a shocking hiss, and the terrifying magic collision formed an invisible shock wave that spread again.

After a brief stalemate!

The "Dragon Lightning" released by Tang Zheng broke through the "Dragon Lightning" released by the Leader with an unstoppable momentum.

"How can this be?" Since his appearance, this was the first time the Leader let out a surprised voice.

With his spellcaster level, he actually lost in magic confrontation!

"Thunder Attribute Defense!" The Leader raised the strange staff in his hand and knocked it hard on the ground.

Pale blue magic light covered his whole body.

Although Tang Zheng's "Dragon Lightning" broke through his "Dragon Lightning", its power was still weakened a lot, and it was blocked under the Leader's defense.

"Could it be that what the other party is good at is the specialized means of thunder attribute." The Leader speculated in his heart, and the pale eyeballs blocked by the black mist became colder and colder.

It seemed that if he didn't show strength stronger than the other party, he probably wouldn't be able to subdue the other party; powerhouses of the other party's level were indeed proud and arrogant guys.

With the other party's strength, one person could break through a large city or a small country; no wonder they could make such a big movement in the hilly region.

Not far away.

Khajiit, seeing the two people who had started fighting in the blink of an eye, retreated in a panic; he never expected that the mysterious person would actually fight with the Leader.

And judging from the situation just now, the mysterious person was actually in the dominant position!

But the Leader's strength was not just that!

"Blocked it? As expected of the Leader!"

Tang Zheng stepped on the Bone Dragon and looked at the Leader below; he didn't intend to end it here.

Regardless, he still had to further test the strength of this Leader!

"Fire Domain: All!"

A shocking mana fluctuation surged from Tang Zheng's body, and in an instant, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground.

Crimson flames emerged from the magic circle, and as soon as they appeared, they turned into sky-high flames, rising like a prairie fire.

This was converting the original "Sand Domain: All" spell into fire attribute through the passive ability "Elemental Attribute Conversion".

At this moment, the ground.

The moment he saw the flames rising under his feet.

The Leader activated the "Teleport" spell at the first moment, but his body only swayed, and he was still in place, and the effect of the spell was forcibly interrupted.

"Ability to restrain magic?"

The Leader's pupils shrank, and then he felt the flames on the ground had wrapped around his legs.

The rising flames constantly formed powerful mana suppression, and some of the flames turned into fire vines that entangled the Leader's legs.

Even with the obstruction of negative energy, the high temperature generated by the flames still passed through the black mist; fortunately, he had magic items that resisted fire-type attacks.

The Leader's feet were restrained in place by the flames and couldn't move, so he hurriedly controlled the skeleton griffin not far away to take him away.

Bang——

But the next moment, the skeleton griffin couldn't withstand the burning of the flames, and its body was burned to ashes.

Fire attribute and holy attribute energy would cause several times the damage to undead!

"The skeleton griffin didn't break free either? How could it be, this spell not only has a restraint effect!"

A panicked look appeared on the Leader's face, realizing that he had underestimated the other party and capsized in the gutter.

The black mist negative energy surged continuously, resisting the high temperature of the flames.

A sense of crisis that had never been felt before descended!

"Sixth Rank spell: Pale Fire!" The Leader shouted.

Mid-air.

Tang Zheng looked down at the Leader, who was completely shrouded in flames, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "It won't be solved so easily, right? Or did I strike a bit too hard?"

"Fire Domain" was converted from "Sand Domain" and naturally possessed a series of effects such as hindering the opponent's actions, blinding, and silencing.

Suddenly!

Tang Zheng suddenly looked up, and a huge curtain of fire constructed of white flames appeared above his head.

Almost the next moment!

The curtain of fire turned into a torrential rain of pale flames, shrouding Tang Zheng below; this was a dual-attribute magic attack composed of fire and negative attributes.

At a glance.

It gave people a terrifying feeling of chilling and being unavoidable.

Every drop of pale fire easily burned the air as it fell, making a "hissing" sound of negative energy corrosion wherever it passed.

"Sixth Rank spell?" Tang Zheng scanned the attribute panel first, noticing the level of the spell:

"This is……"

Immediately after, he noticed another spell that appeared on the attribute panel immediately after.

"So that's what they intended to do."

A look of realization flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, and he pondered slightly, looking at the pale fire falling rapidly above, chanting: "Teleport!"

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng quickly disappeared from the spot and appeared outside the range shrouded by the "Pale Fire".

At the same moment, a figure appeared not far from Tang Zheng, and it was the Leader who should have been trapped in the "Fire Domain".

"Cough, hum."

As soon as the Leader appeared, he let out a painful muffled groan and retreated quickly without hesitation, pulling away from Tang Zheng.

"Actually able to escape under my spell?"

"So that's it, "Unilateral Duel"? "

Tang Zheng first showed a surprised look, then realized: "What an unexpected strategy."

Third Rank spell "Unilateral Duel"!

The specific effect was that even if the opponent escaped by teleportation, the spell could establish a certain connection with the opponent and appear together at the location where the opponent appeared.

The Leader first used a Sixth Rank range magic attack, forcing Tang Zheng to use teleportation magic to dodge.

Thereby utilizing the magic effect of "Unilateral Duel" to get rid of the restraint of "Fire Domain".

"The power of that spell just now is a bit terrifying; it should be power beyond the Fifth Rank."

Tang Zheng let out an undisguised exclamation, waved his arm, and the Bone Dragon at the center of the magic attack just now flew over unscathed:

"According to rumors, there are 4 people in the human race who have stepped into the Other-Worldly Realm and become legendary "Awakened Ones"; one of them is the one in the Baharuth Empire."

"The remaining three are very mysterious, but I think that as the Leader of 【Zuranon】, a secret society that makes various countries wary, you should have also reached this realm."

Opposite.

The Leader's figure was embarrassed, and the black mist that originally shrouded his whole body had become thin.

One could vaguely see through the negative energy a withered figure wearing a loose magic robe, with a pale face and so thin that it could be described as a skeleton.

"I underestimated you."

The Leader's pale pupils revealed wariness, and even more so, disbelief.

If he hadn't reacted in time, he would probably have been completely trapped in that strange spell and unable to break free.
