Chapter 319: Extraordinary Item: The Plundered Crystal of Sealing

Everyone was stunned.

Their gazes shifted in unison toward Tang Zheng, who was controlling this Dominating Angel, and Captain Nigun also looked over, equally taken aback.

"Experience gained: 270,000"

[Experience bar: 289,235/310,000]

"So much experience."

Tang Zheng was a little surprised, then noticed everyone’s eyes on him.

"It was actually... actually eliminated?"

Tang Zheng quickly put on a look of surprise and bewilderment.

At this moment, even the slowest person realized that the Death Knight, having withstood a blow from the Dominating Angel, was clearly on the verge of death.

That was why it was so easily killed by the angel controlled by Tang Zheng.

"Tsk tsk, someone stole your thunder, Captain Nigun." Clementine held her short awls in both hands, a strange look in her eyes, and chuckled beside Captain Nigun.

"Eliminating the enemy is what matters most." Captain Nigun’s face was grim, though his tone carried unconcealable astonishment.

"To have such a reaction in that situation just now—it is surprising, time and time again."

Clementine’s eyes narrowed slightly, her fluffy golden short hair swaying as she tilted her head, obscuring half her vision.

She knew why this guy Nigun was so shocked, because she was the same.

As a member of the [Black Scripture], every member had to study all kinds of monster knowledge, and legendary undead like the "Death Knight" were of the utmost importance.

The [God of Darkness], one of the six great gods of the Slane Theocracy, possessed the ability to control and summon Death Knights, so information on such undead was well-known.

Whether it was Clementine or Captain Nigun, both knew quite a bit.

Even so!

Truly witnessing that shocking power of purification released by the Dominating Angel—

Even knowing the detailed intelligence on the Death Knight, Clementine had still subconsciously assumed the Death Knight would be directly annihilated.

The result was naturally the same as the intelligence had predicted; the Death Knight had not actually perished.

This process.

Let alone Nigun.

Clementine had also been immersed in the terrifying power of the Dominating Angel and hadn't recovered, yet Tang Zheng had been able to react instantly and launch an attack.

"Feels a bit abnormal, little brother~"

The corners of Clementine’s mouth curled upward, her gaze toward Tang Zheng filled with a hint of heat and interest:

"Being so decisive doesn't match your appearance at all."

A brief silence—

"Ah, we won!"

"Awoo!"

"..."

"The Death Knight has been eliminated!"

A large number of demi-humans began to cheer excitedly; for ordinary demi-humans, the Death Knight was like a shadow pressing down over the hills.

That ability to continuously create undead had even once made many ordinary demi-humans despair, thinking they would be wiped out.

Now that the Death Knight was gone, this suppressed emotion was completely released!

However.

"Seven-Colored Scale" Lokosh and "Beast General" Hektorvis were, on the contrary, even more nervous than before.

The angel summoned by the humans, which surpassed their understanding, left them without a shred of security!

At this moment, the two from [Zuranon] were the most fearful and tense.

Are you kidding me!

To actually be able to use such power.

"Teleportation"

The gray-robed mage didn't hesitate for even a second, casting teleportation magic and disappearing as if fleeing.

Abandoning the dark armored knight who had teleported over with them on the spot.

"You old bug!"

Seeing this, the dark armored knight cursed through gritted teeth, cold sweat on his forehead, and ran away with long strides.

Remedios pushed off the ground with her legs, leaping out like a spring: "Don't think you can escape!"

Except for the two of them.

Tang Zheng controlled his shadow clone, also pretending to flee, and cast teleportation magic to disappear as well.

In the blink of an eye.

The strongest enemy, the Death Knight, was gone, two magic casters had fled, and only the dark armored knight, relying on brute force to run on the ground, remained.

The mere presence of a single "7th-Tier Dominating Angel."

Had completely reversed the situation on the field; even powerful magic casters and warriors who could be called the pinnacle of human strength and had stepped into the "Heroic Realm" had only one path: to flee.

This is the power of a god!

To be afraid—that is only natural.

Captain Nigun couldn't help but shout internally, though his face remained composed.

"Evil ones, be reduced to ashes together under this noble power."

Captain Nigun looked toward the fleeing dark armored knight in the distance, gripping the crystal of sealing in one hand while raising the other:

"Pay the price for your stupidity!"

The Dominating Angel glowed with divine light once more.

"Wait, Captain Nigun!"

"Remedios is still in pursuit..." Not far away, Kelart’s expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly spoke to stop him.

At this moment!

Remedios was very close to the enemy; if the Dominating Angel launched an attack, it would very likely affect her sister.

Captain Nigun acted as if he hadn't heard Kelart’s warning at all, controlling the angel to attack: "Extreme Holy Strike!"

The light released by the Dominating Angel brightened.

A pure, clean, divine power descended almost instantly upon the head of the dark armored knight.

The scent of death surged forth.

It felt as if the soul itself wanted to break free from the body and escape at this moment.

"Impenetrable Fortress!!"

The dark armored knight’s eyes bloodshot in an instant, using all his strength to let out a desperate roar.

Swish!

"Ah—"

The holy light engulfed the black armored knight, terrifying energy drowning him, followed by a shrill scream.

"Ah!"

Another scream rang out.

Only, this sound was not made by the dark armored knight, but by Remedios; the two were too close, and she had been caught in the shockwave and blown away.

The holy light dissipated.

Where the black armored knight had been, only the damaged black armor remained, along with the Corrupt Sword, which was stuck in the ground, wobbling slightly and emitting white steam.

"One of the four great magic swords, Corrupt Sword: Krokdabal, recovery successful." Captain Nigun’s indifferent voice sounded slowly.

"Lord Nigun!"

A cold voice came.

Kelart clenched her fists under her loose sleeves, speaking in a tone bordering on hostility: "What were you doing just now? I want an explanation."

"Is the Slane Theocracy trying to start a war with the Holy Kingdom!"

The priest group and the paladin group raised their staves and longswords in unison, aiming them at the [Sunlight Scripture] side.

A tense atmosphere erupted between the two sides!

Facing this situation.

Captain Nigun’s eyes were calm: "No need to be so nervous, Captain Kelart. The power of the highest angel far exceeds ordinary understanding and imagination."

"That pure, holy, and clean power only causes severe damage to the undead and evil people."

Speaking to this point.

Captain Nigun let out a cold laugh instead.

"If Captain Remedios suffered relatively heavy damage, then you should question whether Captain Remedios is disrespectful to 'God' and not a pious believer of God."

Captain Nigun clearly raised his tone.

This caused the expressions of those in the paladin group and the priest group to change.

Kelart’s face turned even uglier, the hostility in her eyes growing more intense.

Watching the two sides with their stiffened atmosphere.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, preparing to step forward.

But just at this moment—

"Tang!"

"Quickly, manipulate the angel and destroy the shield left behind by the Death Knight!"

The roar of Ge Jin came from the center of the battlefield.

He was one of the few who had witnessed the birth of the Death Knight with his own eyes, so he naturally understood that this black tower shield was the key to the Death Knight's creation.

"It has finally appeared."

Tang Zheng sensed something immediately and looked toward the location of the black tower shield.

Beside the cracked black tower shield.

A figure completely shrouded in black mist appeared out of thin air.

"Lightning Strike!"

The Guild Master’s hoarse chanting voice rang out first.

The blooming blue lightning transformed into a twisted bolt of thunder, striking the Dominion Authority Angel.

With a "bang."

The Dominion Authority Angel dissipated on the spot, turning into white specks of light.

"This level of power, comparable to a Demon God, must be the use of a World-Class Item."

The Guild Master did not even look at the Dominion Authority Angel, but slightly raised his head to look at the holy and powerful Dominion Authority Angel hovering high in the sky:

"The Theocracy is truly as wealthy and extravagant as ever."

In this world, there exist three types of World-Class magic items that even top nobles and the royal families of various nations know very little about.

One type is the relics of the Eight Greed Kings.

One type is the Dragon Treasures crafted by true high-level Dragon Lords using special magic.

The last type.

These are the supreme treasures left behind by the Six Great Gods; the current Silianjiaoguosuo was built and passed down 600 years ago after the Six Great Gods descended.

"Guild Master of [Zuranon]!"

Captain Nigun came to his senses at this moment.

Facing such a dangerous figure, he did not waste any words; he raised the Demon-Sealing Crystal to control the Dominion Authority Angel, preparing to launch an attack.

But the Guild Master was faster.

"Negative Burst Bone Prison!"

A blue magic circle appeared beneath Captain Nigun’s feet, and then a large number of bone spikes emerged from the magic circle.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The hard bone spikes instantly locked Captain Nigun’s movements, and both his arms and thighs were pierced through by the bone spikes simultaneously.

The metal clothing, made of special metal threads and enchanted to have higher defensive power than ordinary armor, did not provide the slightest obstruction.

"Ah!"

Captain Nigun screamed; the pain of his arms being pierced caused his palm holding the Demon-Sealing Crystal to loosen.

With a "click."

The Demon-Sealing Crystal fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The priests of the [Sunlight Scripture] held their breath.

"Teleportation!"

The air vibrated slightly.

The Guild Master appeared in front of Captain Nigun, a stiff smile appearing on his face behind the black mist: "Let this serve as compensation for the cost of destroying the Death Knight."

The Guild Master spoke indifferently while reaching out a withered arm from the black mist to grab the Demon-Sealing Crystal on the ground.

Seeing the Guild Master’s action, Captain Nigun’s eyes widened in terror; ignoring the pain of the bone spikes piercing his body, he struggled frantically and roared:

"Clementine! Clementine!"

He had kept Clementine by his side all along just in case.

"Gale Movement!" Clementine’s delicate shout came.

Whoosh!

Her fluffy golden hair scattered in an instant, and as if shifting horizontally, she appeared out of thin air in front of the Guild Master, the short stiletto in her hand piercing the air and accurately stabbing toward the Guild Master’s heart.

Bang!

A translucent barrier blocked the short stiletto.

This strike, which looked full of power, could not advance even half an inch further.

"Dragon Lightning,"

The Guild Master spoke indifferently, and surging lightning blasted out from his palm.

Rumble!

Dazzling lightning exploded.

Everyone felt their vision blur, and accompanied by the explosion of violent power, Clementine was blasted away, her life or death unknown.

"Put it down, no—"

Captain Nigun watched helplessly as the Guild Master took the Demon-Sealing Crystal into his hand, roaring while coughing up blood.

That was an item left behind by the gods.

Such a treasure was more precious than his own life; if it fell into the hands of the enemy, he would be a sinner to the Theocracy!

"What a peculiar item."

The Guild Master did not care about Captain Nigun’s shouting, playing with the crystal-clear Demon-Sealing Crystal in his hand, seemingly full of interest.

At this moment.

Realizing something, everyone swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

Even Tang Zheng’s expression was slightly ugly.

He had never expected that Captain Nigun would be such a waste, having the Demon-Sealing Crystal snatched away so easily.

"Launch an attack, Dominion Authority Angel."

The Guild Master raised the Demon-Sealing Crystal in his hand and said calmly.

Everyone had just witnessed how strong the Dominion Authority Angel’s power was; as this powerful force became the enemy’s power, looks of despair appeared in the eyes of many.

The Dominion Authority Angel flapped its wings gently, remaining motionless.

"Can it only be controlled by the person who activated the magic?"

Seeing that the Dominion Authority Angel did not listen to his commands at all, the Guild Master shook his head thoughtfully:

"Forget it, it’s the same whether I can control it or not; it will disappear when the time is up anyway."

He put the Demon-Sealing Crystal away.

The Guild Master stared at the pairs of fearful eyes, raised his arms, and issued a cold declaration: "Let this place become your graveyard."

"Teleportation!"

Swish.

The Guild Master teleported himself high into the sky: "Pale Fire!"

Rumble.

Black clouds composed entirely of negative energy gathered above everyone’s heads at a speed visible to the naked eye, as this area already contained a large amount of negative energy and death aura.

The range of "Pale Fire" became even larger.

Splash—clatter—

Drop by drop, like rain, cold white fire droplets fell from the sky.

An demi-human did not have time to dodge and was hit on the head by a drop of fire rain, then his whole body began to burn, turning into ashes amidst screams!

In the span of a breath,

The entire battlefield was covered in screams and wails, turning into a purgatory.

"Dominion Authority Angel!"

Tang Zheng quickly summoned a fourth-tier angel to block above his head to shield himself from damage, looking at the scene around him with a grave expression.

Things had become troublesome!

According to the original plan, the seventh-tier Dominion Authority Angel could counter the Guild Master.

Although the Guild Master could use seventh-tier magic, Tang Zheng had already tested this when he was fighting the Guild Master.

Through observation,

The seventh-tier magic the Guild Master mastered was extremely limited; even when he cast the seventh-tier magic "Undead Army," it was only achieved with the help of the "Maximize Magic" enhancement.

It was not strange that he lacked high-level magic means.

The Otherworld was not a game; there was no way to easily obtain magic. To obtain magic, one either had to learn from others or develop it oneself.

Therefore.

The seventh-tier Dominion Authority Angel was indeed enough to counter the Guild Master.

It was just that Tang Zheng had not expected that before the fight even started, the Demon-Sealing Crystal would be snatched away by the Guild Master!

"Idiot!"

Tang Zheng cursed inwardly.

It seemed he had to adopt the second plan; he would have to let his shadow clone reappear to fight the Guild Master.
