Chapter 82

Boom! A heavy, loud sound exploded on the Flame Archangel's chest armor.

The Flame Archangel retreated uncontrollably toward the rear; after retreating a distance of about three meters, it flapped its wings forcefully to stabilize its figure again.

Tang Zheng looked at the Flame Archangel's chest; except for a slight dent in the armor, the Flame Archangel clearly had not suffered any damage.

"As expected of a meat tank; compared to other aspects, the advantage in defense is quite eye-catching."

Tang Zheng praised with a smile on his face; angels, demons, and undead—these three types of summoned creatures have a slight advantage compared to summoned monsters of the same rank.

Angels possess excellent physical resistance.

Demons are stronger in magic resistance.

Undead, are they numerous? At the same time, the higher the level of these three types of summoned creatures, the more they will possess some special abilities.

"Next, let me see what's inside your armor." Tang Zheng swung the iron sword, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

His feet moved.

Tang Zheng's figure had already rushed in front of the Flame Archangel.

Swish! The Flame Archangel hurriedly raised the flame sword in its hand and slashed over.

But Tang Zheng's movements were faster.

"Rapid Slash!"

A wisp of cold, icy light flashed in the air, and immediately after, rapid and harsh explosions sounded continuously on the Flame Archangel's bright silver chest armor.

Dazzling sparks splashed across the surface of the armor! Crack!

The seemingly sturdy armor was cut open by the iron sword, and the Flame Archangel smashed toward the ground.

Fortunately!

Tang Zheng reacted quickly, grabbed the Flame Archangel's wings, and yanked them upward forcefully, pulling the Flame Archangel, which was about to smash into the ground, back into mid-air.

"Silencing" only eliminates sound.

With the force just now, if the Flame Archangel had smashed into the ground, it probably could have smashed out a hole.

"Hoo~"

Tang Zheng exhaled, "Almost got discovered."

"So there's nothing inside after all."

Tang Zheng looked at the Flame Archangel's chest that he had cut open.

Just see, inside, besides emitting a pale white light, there was nothing.

Boom—

The Flame Archangel's body vibrated, and its whole body began to dissipate into light spots.

"The strength is not bad."

"It seems that summoned monsters do not increase experience points."

Tang Zheng glanced at the experience bar on the attribute panel, feeling a bit regretful, "Compared to warriors of the same level, this Flame Archangel has a relatively single attack method, and its speed is not an advantage."

"But the excellent physical resistance and the ability to fly are enough to drag down people of the same level for some time."

"If the quantity increases..."

Tang Zheng turned around and looked at the white paper on the table, a smile appearing on his face.

"Even a powerful Warrior Captain would only end up being dragged to death."

In the anime, the Slane Theocracy sent the Sunlight Scripture, one of the Six Scriptures, to assassinate the Warrior Captain Gazef; if it weren't for Ainz suddenly helping.

It wouldn't even have required the Sunlight Scripture's Captain Nigen to make a move; the Flame Archangels summoned by his subordinates alone could have exhausted the Warrior Captain to death.

And the price paid by the Sunlight Scripture was merely consuming some magic power.

Tang Zheng returned to the wooden table and picked up the Second Rank paper on the table, "I forgot to ask back then whether sheepskin is absolutely necessary for making Second Rank magic scrolls."

"Let's try."

"Scroll Creation!"

Tang Zheng placed his hands above the paper on the table and recited silently in his heart.

Rustle, rustle!

The paper on the table moved without wind, and dozens of sheets of paper quickly gathered toward the center.

In just the time of a single breath.

A pure white magic scroll appeared in Tang Zheng's palm.

"Eh? It succeeded."

Tang Zheng looked at the magic scroll that had been created so easily, and the whole person was clearly stunned for a moment.

He didn't know if it was because previously, whether it was making alchemy potions or healing potions, problems large and small would always appear.

Now that it had been created so easily, Tang Zheng was instead a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Pure white, different from the color of the magic scrolls mixed with sheepskin at the Mages Guild."

Tang Zheng held the pure white magic scroll in one hand to observe, while looking at the remaining Second Rank paper on the table, "The quantity is also a bit off." Originally there were 1400 sheets, now only 1380 sheets remained.

Which is to say, making this magic scroll consumed 20 sheets of Second Rank paper.

If he remembered correctly, the magic scrolls made by the Mages Guild were 1 sheet of sheepskin plus 10 sheets of Second Rank paper.

"So the purpose of the Mages Guild mixing in sheepskin when making Second Rank scrolls is not just to maintain the stability of magic power, but also to reduce the consumption of paper?"

Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Indeed, compared to paper containing magic power, the price of sheepskin is much cheaper.

"Next is injecting the magic."

Tang Zheng's gaze became serious; he reached out to pull open the white magic scroll and raised his finger to lightly tap the center of the scroll.

According to Master Beiluo Rui's method, at this time, one needs to inject the magic one wants to engrave into the scroll, so extra control over magic power is required.

Of course!

It is also necessary to have a deep understanding of the "magic" being injected itself.

Magic casters of the Other World master magic through their own understanding, learning, and research.

While he only needs to consume skill points.

This cheat-like method inevitably resulted in having no real understanding of the magic mastered.

On this point.

Tang Zheng was very clear, but he noticed that the method Master Beiluo Rui used when injecting magic into the scroll was very similar to the passive ability "Magic Infusion" of his 【Magic Swordsman】 class.

Back when he was refining alchemy solutions in the Tob Forest, he relied on this ability to create qualified alchemy potions.

He didn't expect that it might also be useful in scroll creation.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this passive effect." Tang Zheng pressed his finger on the scroll and pressed down forcefully, "Magic Infusion!"

Boom—

The white scroll shook violently, and the surface of the entire scroll rapidly took on a blue luster, forming an invisible suction force as magic power flowed.

This intense vibration gave Tang Zheng a fright.

When he was at the Mages Guild, he had seen the situation of magic scrolls exploding, which was still fresh in his memory.

Seeing that the magic scroll in his hand only shook for a moment before calming down, with no signs of exploding, he then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Tang Zheng collected his stray thoughts and injected the Second Rank "Angel Summoning" into the scroll.

One second.

Two seconds.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

If one were to say that when Master Beiluo Rui made magic scrolls, it was filled with a sense of precision and natural fluidity.

Then at this moment, the feeling Tang Zheng gave when making magic scrolls was crude!

Whoosh! The scroll shook again, the blue luster on the surface rapidly retracted, and the entire magic scroll rolled up automatically, appearing on the table.

"It succeeded?"

Tang Zheng blinked and looked at the magic scroll emitting a pale white luster, casting magic at the first moment: "Item Identification!"

Item: Magic Item · Artifact · Magic Scroll

Rank: Second Rank Introduction: Contains magic "Angel Summoning"

"It really succeeded!"

Tang Zheng said in surprise, unable to help himself from reaching out and forcefully rubbing the head of the small Evil Spirit Dog beside him.

Immediately after.

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Originally thought there was no chance, now perhaps I can plan for that special magic item."

Others might not know.

But Tang Zheng knew that in "E-Rantel," there existed a magic item that reached 【High Rank · 40Lv】, just a little bit away from reaching 【Highest Rank】.

This magic item was the highest-level magic item he could obtain in the early stages!

Originally.

Tang Zheng planned to obtain the "Cursed Knight" class, and after returning from the Baharuth Empire, find a way to acquire this magic item.

Now that he had mastered scroll creation technology, the success rate had increased by a lot.

It's just that the danger level is still extremely high! (End of chapter)
