Chapter 314: Continuous Level Drop 45lv, Annoyed Remedios

~13 min read 2,569 words

Lower Water Month.

March 29th, 11:26 AM.

The demi-human troop led by "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi began to clear the many undead on the battlefield.

The human side was located in the center of the battlefield, watching the various movements of the demi-humans vigilantly, like wounded lions licking their wounds.

51 corpses of Holy Knights lay quietly in front of everyone, 10 of which had transformed into undead and could only be slaughtered again.

Enri sat not far from the corpses, hugging her knees.

The Green Leaf Witch and the Evil Spirit Dog stood quietly on the side, and there was also a female priest squatting opposite Enri, seeming to be comforting something.

This female priest was the one Enri had given the handkerchief to before.

Tang Zheng came to an injured Holy Knight, raised his palm, and released a soft holy light from his palm:

"'Heavy Wound Healing'!"

The injuries on the Holy Knight began to recover, and the suppressed painful breathing also gradually became calm.

"Thank you."

The Holy Knight said gratefully to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng nodded lightly and walked toward another Holy Knight, continuing to release healing magic repeatedly.

By releasing Third Rank magic through "Experience Value Casting," each time required consuming 150,000 experience points, and the level finally ushered in a drop.

【Comprehensive Level: 52lv→51lv】

【Sword Saint: 7lv→6lv】

【Experience Slot: 1/630000】

With the experience in the experience slot cleared, every level drop would only retain one point of experience, which meant that using magic casually would cause a level drop.

As long as the experience consumption used did not exceed the depth of the current experience slot, it would only drop by 1 level. Exceeding the depth of the current experience slot would cause a drop of 2 levels.

The subsequent level drops became rapid!

Every time Tang Zheng used a healing magic, he immediately dropped a level.

【Comprehensive Level: 51lv→50lv】

【Sword Saint: 6lv→5lv】

【Experience Slot: 1/560000】

↓

……

↓

【Comprehensive Level: 46lv→45lv】

【Sword Saint: 1lv→0lv】

In just a moment's time.

Tang Zheng's level had already dropped from the previous level 52 to the level 45, and the 【Sword Saint】 profession also disappeared from the attribute panel.

"Thank you." The Holy Knight said gratefully to Tang Zheng beside him.

"You're welcome."

Tang Zheng responded softly and stood up. His face suddenly turned a bit pale, and he took a step back.

"Are you okay, Team Leader Tang?"

"Do you want to rest for a while?" The Holy Knight saw Tang Zheng's appearance and thought he had consumed too much magic power, so he hurriedly spoke nervously.

Nowadays, the entire Holy Knight Order had a good impression of "Free Will".

This was not only because Tang Zheng, who had powerful strength, but also because Enri, this ordinary girl, brought back the corpses of their companions without fear of danger.

"It's fine."

The trace of paleness on Tang Zheng's face disappeared instantly. He stood firm, smiled, and waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.

What was going on just now?

A flash of surprise appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes.

The rapid level drops just now clearly made him feel the short-term weakness brought about after a certain power in his body disappeared.

"Not just weakness."

Tang Zheng concentrated slightly, sensing his physical condition, as if his life level had also been lowered:

"Not only was the physical change not strong when leveling up, but I had also dropped levels before, and it wasn't as obvious as it is now."

"Could it be that after exceeding level 50, there is a kind of invisible improvement in the life level?"

That feeling of abnormality just now.

Made Tang Zheng think of the feeling when he first took the special profession 【Valkyrie】.

"Commander!"

"Sister!"

Panicked voices came from not far away.

All the members of the Holy Knight Order turned their heads to look over, their eyes full of worry, but they didn't dare to leave their positions.

They needed to pay attention to the movements of the demi-humans!

Remedios sat on the ground with one leg, the holy sword inserted in front of her, her well-proportioned face extremely pale, and her originally pink lips also became very pale.

This was a situation of excessive blood loss!

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

Drops of red blood constantly flowed from the wounds, dripping onto the ground along the grooves on the armor.

Several priests and Quila, the Priest Corps Commander, surrounded Remedios, constantly applying recovery magic.

However.

Remedios's complexion improved slightly, but the wounds showed no signs of recovery, and blood continued to flow.

Massive blood loss!

Made Remedios's breath become increasingly weak. If she couldn't stop the bleeding quickly, no matter how much healing magic was released, it would not have any effect.

"How could this be!" Quila was a bit incredulous, and a look of panic appeared on her calm face for the first time.

"Rotten Sword..."

Remedios's pale lips parted slightly.

"What?" Quila didn't hear clearly.

"Rotten Sword·Crockdabar." Remedios spoke weakly.

"One of the four great magic swords of the Black Knight of the 13 Heroes in legend, the 'Rotten Sword' that possesses the ability to cause unhealable wounds."

Quila's pupils shrank, and her voice trembled.

If this was the case, then it explained why healing magic had no effect on the wounds on Remedios's body.

But—

Quila looked at her sister's increasingly weak breath, and her eyes were a bit red. She had never seen her sister in such a weak state.

Could it be that she could only watch helplessly as her sister died from excessive blood loss?

"I might have a way."

A peaceful voice came with footsteps.

Quila hurriedly turned her head and looked over, excitement appearing in her light cyan pupils, discovering that it was Tang Zheng.

"Team Leader Tang, are you telling the truth? This is an injury caused by the 'Rotten Sword'."

Quila was a bit suspicious and a bit hopeful.

"I can't be sure either, but we can try."

Tang Zheng walked up and looked at Remedios, who could be described as embarrassed and dying at this moment, and reached into the magic pouch at his waist to take out a potion:

"This is an undiluted 'Regeneration Potion'. Drink it first."

Tang Zheng handed the potion to Remedios.

Remedios opened her eyes weakly, looked at Tang Zheng with short black hair and a serious face in front of her, and turned her head to the side: "No."

The two had had several disputes before this, and every time Tang Zheng showed an indifferent appearance, which made Remedios a bit annoyed.

What really made her angry was Tang Zheng's attitude toward demi-humans.

Whether it was the female demi-human in the other party's team or the friendly contact with Ge Jin, this demi-human, it made Remedios displeased.

The other party was an adventurer and also a person from the Kingdom of Re-Estize. She had no right to interfere with Tang Zheng's attitude toward demi-humans.

But—

The hatred between the Holy Kingdom and demi-humans had lasted for hundreds of years.

Remedios disliked Tang Zheng, who was somewhat close to demi-humans, from the bottom of her heart, and even hated the other party.

Now.

Let the other party save her, what does this count as!

"Sister."

Quila didn't care about her sister's inner thoughts. Seeing her refuse, she grabbed the potion from Tang Zheng's hand, reached out, pried open Remedios's mouth, and poured it all in.

"Cough, cough."

Remedios couldn't help but cough, angry and weak: "What are, you, doing."

In a few breaths' time.

Several priests around suddenly said happily: "It's effective, the speed of blood flowing out has slowed down!"

Quila also discovered this point, but she didn't have much joy. The blood flowing out had decreased, but it hadn't stopped completely.

"One bottle of Regeneration Potion, it seems it's not enough."

Tang Zheng observed the wounds on Remedios's body for a few times, and thought to himself: 'Sure enough, it's the power of the curse.'

"Lord Quila, if you don't mind, we need to remove the armor on Remedios's body."

Quila nodded without any hesitation: "No problem!"

With Quila's signal, several priests didn't care about the weak Remedios's obstruction and quickly dismantled the Holy Knight armor on her body.

After Remedios took off her armor, she wasn't wearing any complicated clothes, but a pure white inner lining and long pants.

Her slender, fair neck, collarbone deep.

The material of the clothing was somewhat smooth, looking like pajamas, yet it was also slightly tight-fitting, similar to a combat outfit, with the towering curves clearly visible.

Blood stained the white inner lining red, becoming a bit translucent, and one could faintly see the skin of Remedios, who had been exercising all year round and was tight.

"I want to dig out your eyes!"

Remedios felt Tang Zheng's sizing up, her tone was a bit angry, and she spoke fiercely.

She had never been looked at by a man like this!

"Don't think too much."

Tang Zheng spoke faintly, moved his gaze away from that exaggerated arc, and looked at the rotten wounds on the clothes:

"Your age is older than mine."

"Besides, you are a Paladin; returning evil for good like this violates the code of the Paladins."

During the conversation.

Tang Zheng took out a few more bottles of "Regeneration Potion" and handed them to several priests beside him, speaking softly: "Pour them onto these wounds. Don't pour them all at once."

"While using the potion to treat, use healing magic to drive away the negative energy on it."

"You—"

Remedios heard the description of "older age" and widened her eyes suddenly.

Tang Zheng ignored the other party, nodded lightly to Quila: "There shouldn't be any problem."

After speaking.

Tang Zheng turned and left.

The effect of "Regeneration Potion" could have a certain therapeutic effect on wounds caused by curses. When he used the potion initially, he had treated Reynas's rotten face.

The result, although it failed.

However, the fundamental reason was not the healing potion, but the continuous influence of the 【Cursed Knight】 profession.

The wounds on Remedios's body were just simple curse damage. Without the supplement of curse power, consuming the curse would allow her to recover completely.

"Aiya ya~"

"Even the wounds caused by the 'Rotten Sword', one of the four great magic swords, can be treated. As expected of being called the 'Black-Haired Genius Alchemist'."

Clementine hugged her chest with both hands, looked at Tang Zheng walking over, tilted her head, and opened her mouth with a smile.

"Miss Clementine."

Tang Zheng looked at the other party: "You didn't have any injuries at all, yet you were entangled by an undead for so long."

"There's no way around it."

Clementine shrugged her shoulders, her purple pupils blinked, she reached out from her waist, and a short awl appeared in her hand. She played with the weapon and pretended to have a headache:

"I am good at piercing means, and I can't exert my power when dealing with monsters like skeletons."

"So that's how it is." Tang Zheng responded with a smile.

"That's right, that's right."

Clementine nodded, her fluffy golden hair jumping slightly, covering the pair of eyes full of smiles.

Within the range of this battlefield.

Although the number of undead was large, they were quickly eliminated under the clearing of the equally numerous demi-humans.

Soon.

The demi-human troops regrouped and arrived at a position 100 meters away from the human troop and stopped to camp, not approaching any further.

A moment later.

Tang Zheng, Quila, Captain Captain Nigen, and Ge Jin, the four of them, met with the two demi-humans opposite at a position 50 meters between the human side and the demi-human side.

These two demi-humans!

One was "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi, and the other looked not only to have stronger pressure and more majesty, but also had a seven-colored dazzling feeling under the sunlight.

The other party looked like a snake-bodied person among the demi-human races, but in fact, it was not, but an extremely rare "Snake King" race with two arms!

It was similar to Naga in appearance, but completely different.

To be precise!

The Snake King in front of him was a mutant!

The whole body was wrapped in a kind of crystal-style scales, like being wet and reflecting light, emitting a dazzling seven-colored light.

It was the strongest demi-human among the Ten Heroes of the demi-humans—"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, as the scales on the other party's body were too special.

These scales, which emitted strange seven-colored light under the sunlight, were not just beautiful. It was said that they possessed hardness comparable to dragon scales and also possessed high magic resistance.

Tang Zheng was also seeing this "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi for the first time.

The other party's appearance.

Made him very suspicious of whether it was the bloodline of one of the "True Dragon Kings", the Seven-Colored Long Wang.

Tang Zheng remembered that the Seven-Colored Long Wang seemed to be a dragon race that liked to crossbreed offspring very much. The Queen of the Dragon Kingdom was the descendant of the Seven-Colored Long Wang.

Quila and Captain Captain Nigen's eyes were serious. They were also seeing "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi, this demi-human, for the first time, and he was far more terrifying than imagined.

"Why did you come only now?"

Ge Jin spoke dullly and walked forward, coming to "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi and "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi.

"We also just noticed the movement of the undead." "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi spoke indifferently, making people unable to hear any emotional changes.

"Thank you for your arrival!"

"I am Kokeshi, known as 'Seven-Colored Scale' by the demi-humans in the hills."

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi swam his dazzling snake body, took a step forward, bowed slightly, and spoke with goodwill, with a unique magnetism in his voice:

"I represent all the demi-human races in the Abelion Hills and thank you humans for your support."

"This disaster caused by the undead is not only the enemy of our demi-humans but also the common enemy of humans."

The other party's words were full of goodwill, but the facial expressions of demi-humans were not the same as humans, so it was impossible to distinguish the other party's true thoughts.

That pair of scarlet snake pupils also made people feel a bit cold.

Tang Zheng looked at Ge Jin, didn't speak, Captain Captain Nigen kept a cold face and didn't mean to speak either.

Quila's long, narrow eyes squinted, and she showed a friendly and gentle appearance on her face: "Kokeshi, if it weren't for your support just now, our losses would have been even greater."

"Now we need to rest. I don't know if you can take us to a safe place first."

Quila showed a weak situation.

"Human lady."

"It is indeed necessary to rest after experiencing a battle, but I have a reckless proposal."

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi smiled: "The enemy has also experienced a battle and also needs to rest. Now might not be a favorable opportunity to pursue the victory."

"We have already determined the enemy's lair. Attacking now might have a greater chance of winning."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Quila and Captain Captain Nigen's expressions turned cold instantly.
