This Black-Haired Youth is Trouble! Quinn Easai's expression remained calm, but a hint of gravity flickered in the depths of his eyes.
If before, he merely thought the other party was bluffing, a fool who overestimated his talent and power, then whether it was the launched Magic Ritual, the summoned Angel, or the series of Magic spells released to counter the Gray Robe Magic Caster...
Such a high intensity of Mana consumption, yet the opponent showed no signs of weakness from excessive Mana depletion.
Innate Ability? Magic Item? Whatever it was—
The strength displayed by the opponent had reached the level that must be reported to the High-Tier.
However, his current private actions could not be revealed to anyone, or he would not only be kicked out of the glorious Midnight Scripture unit,
but even his family would be affected! His luck was truly terrible; a sure thing had been inexplicably disrupted by such a mysterious fellow.
"Petrification Lizard!"
Quinn Easai's bright red pupils turned cold, his heart filled with extreme annoyance; now was not the time to hold back.
"Roar!" Accompanied by a roar, the entire ground shook, and a giant Petrification Lizard, ten meters in length, appeared before Quinn Easai.
The tremors continued.
"Crimson Lizard!"
A fiery red lizard covered in red patterns, smaller and more ferocious-looking than the Petrification Lizard, also appeared in the arena.
In the blink of an eye!
Four giant lizards had gathered before Quinn Easai: two Aqua Lizards, one Petrification Lizard, and one Crimson Lizard.
However, it didn't end there.
Quinn Easai raised his right hand, and a Magic Item ring on his middle finger suddenly shattered, causing his aura to surge.
"Two-Headed Hellhound!"
"Swamp Behemoth!"
"Black Scale Beetle!"
"Poison Gland Tarantula!"
"Berserk Treant!"
"Manticore!"
One after another, ferocious and violent roars echoed through the forest.
Ten Demon Creatures, the smallest three meters long and the largest ten meters long, appeared one after another, their terrifying auras permeating the air.
These Demon Creatures, placed in any forest, would be top predators, regional overlords, yet they had all gathered here!
The swampy forest in this area seemed to be enveloped by an invisible aura.
Whether it was the distant chirping of birds or the insects on the ground, all had vanished without a trace at this moment.
"Ten Demon Creatures? Is this the strength of a Midnight Scripture member?" Tang Zheng showed a rare hint of surprise, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Through the auras emitted by these Demon Creatures, he could confirm that they were all above level 20.
Especially the largest giant Petrification Lizard, which should have reached the maximum level of 28Lv for its species.
He quickly scanned his stats page, looking at the information displayed on it.
Mid-Tier Class [Magical Beast Summoner].
"No need to be so surprised."
"You're not the only one who possesses power beyond ordinary comprehension. You should feel honored to witness this strength."
Quinn Easai's voice came from behind the Demon Creatures, each revealing their ferocious gazes.
Whoosh—
The ten enormous Demon Creatures scattered to the sides, and Quinn Easai walked out with steady steps, looking at Tang Zheng opposite him, and smiled slightly: "Now you can answer again, who will die?"
"You are indeed stronger than that guy."
Tang Zheng gently exhaled: "I still think you're the one who will die."
The air stilled.
*Boom!* All ten powerful Demon Creatures moved at once.
"Fifth Tier Magic—"
Tang Zheng's Mana surged, and scarlet sparks emerged from his arms, rapidly gathering in front of his chest to form a Dragon Flame.
This was thanks to the passive ability 'Elemental Attribute Change,' which altered the original 'Dragon Lightning' into 'Dragon Flame.'
Tang Zheng had previously used the 'Silver Knight Lance' to experiment with the differences in magical attacks of different attributes after converting the four main attributes.
He found that Wind Element attacks had the strongest destructive power, but Fire Element caused area-of-effect damage. Besides, 'Dragon Lightning' itself was not entirely a single-target offensive Magic.
Whoosh—
As the Dragon Flame coalesced, a Dragon Wind formed from a cyan gale also gathered around Tang Zheng.
The Flame and Hurricane rose from Tang Zheng's body and converged in mid-air, forming an even more terrifying Mana aura.
This was clearly two spells!
Normal Magic Casters could not possibly use two spells at the same time unless they used special Magic Enhancement methods like 'Magic Duplication/Triplication.'
But even then, it would only release two or three identical spells simultaneously, not two different spells.
This situation was naturally due to the passive ability 'Magic Preparation' of the [Mad Mage], which allowed him to store a spell in advance.
The purpose of his nonsense with Quinn Easai earlier was to secretly store this spell.
"Dragon Flame, Dragon Wind!"
Tang Zheng glared, and two Fifth Tier Magic spells were released simultaneously.
The two forces collided and merged in mid-air, like pouring hot oil onto a burning flame, expanding the raging flames.
It swelled into a Flame Dragon head about four meters in size in mid-air, burning with scarlet light.
*Rumble!*
The moment the Flame Dragon head collided with the ten Demon Creatures, an explosion occurred, and a monstrous wave of fire swept around.
Violent roars and screams came from the many Demon Creatures.
The surrounding dense forest was completely engulfed by the flames, and dazzling fire soared into the sky. A large number of trees turned to ashes, and the remaining branches and decaying leaves on the ground were burned away in one breath.
The ten terrifying Demon Creatures that had charged over only let out a few screams before disappearing along with the surrounding trees.
Fifth Tier Magic attacks were not something that level 20-ish Demon Creatures could withstand, especially with the combination of 'Dragon Flame' and 'Dragon Wind,' which unleashed power far exceeding normal Fifth Tier Magic.
As the firelight dissipated,
A large area of dense forest in front had disappeared, and a scorched earth appeared before Tang Zheng.
Whoosh! Suddenly, a figure shot out from under the scorched ground.
Quinn Easai shot into the sky, looking disheveled, and quickly flew towards the sky.
A Magic Item for Flight! "As expected, he's not dead!"
Tang Zheng was not surprised that Quinn Easai had not died under that level of Magic attack.
The experience notification had not appeared.
After all, he was a member of the [Darkness Scripture]. If he didn't have some trump cards, that would be impossible.
Flight!
A surge of Mana quickly enveloped his entire body.
"You two, one keep an eye on the Gray Robe Magic Caster, and the other go and capture the Twin Witches!" Tang Zheng instructed the two Peace Authority Angels beside him, and then took off into the air.
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is that guy!"
Quinn Easai's delicate, soft golden hair was disheveled, and there were many burnt marks at the ends, making him look very embarrassed.
The airflow generated by the rapid flight constantly swept past him, causing his blackened cloak to rustle in the wind.
Quinn Easai yanked hard, tearing off the unremarkable gray cloak he wore and throwing it down.
This was a very expensive piece of Magic Item, not only possessing Invisibility and the ability to resist detection Magic, but also having excellent protective properties.
But facing two Fifth Tier Magic attacks, it clearly couldn't withstand it and was completely crippled! Quinn Easai's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. All ten of his strongest Demon Creatures had died.
The term 'heavy losses' was not enough to describe Quinn Easai's heartache at this moment. These were powerful Demon Creatures that he had spent a lot of effort to collect.
They could cope with all kinds of opponents and different environments!
Most importantly, half of his strength was further enhanced by these Demon Creatures. Now, the death of his ten strongest Demon Creatures already foreshadowed...
He had been completely defeated by that mysterious Black-Haired Youth.
Something's not right—
Too wrong, there must be a secret on him!
Whoosh! The sound of pursuit breaking through the air came from behind.
Quinn Easai's face changed, and he quickly looked back at Tang Zheng, who had already caught up. He cursed inwardly, raised his hand, and took off the ring on his left thumb.
He opened his palm and waved it behind him, the ring on his left index finger flashed a bright light! *Holy Light!* Dazzling light was released, forming a blinding beam.
"You really have a lot of tricks!" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, his face serious, and quickly scanned the stats panel.
The number of Magic Items on the opponent's body was too high, which meant that Tang Zheng couldn't predict Quinn Easai's various methods.
Moreover, as a Magical Beast Summoner and Tamer, and a member of the Midnight Scripture, his coping strategies for his own weaknesses and combat abilities were by no means comparable to ordinary Hero-class Domain human powerhouses.
In short!
He must not let Quinn Easai escape, otherwise, his trouble would be great.
What Tang Zheng was most afraid of was not being able to determine whether Quinn Easai could contact the Slane Theocracy.
Skipping the Magic prompt for Holy Light, he looked at the newly appeared Magic reminder.
『Discovered Skill "Aqua Lizard's Invisibility", requires Intermediate Profession [Hunter], current conditions not met...』
『"Genius" Profession activated, Basic Profession has been successfully converted, meeting the learning conditions, whether to consume 3 Skill Points to learn?』
Another Intermediate Profession! Tamer, Magical Beast Summoner, Hunter! The opponent's professional structure of one Basic Profession and two Intermediate Professions became clear in front of Tang Zheng.
The action of flying forward stopped.
As the dazzling light dissipated, Quinn Easai's figure was no longer there.
In the empty and vast sky, there was nothing, except for the occasional gust of wind, there was not even a sound.
Tang Zheng hovered in mid-air, observing his surroundings sharply. He did not master detection Magic, so he could not determine the location of Quinn Easai after he became invisible.
Even if he mastered that Magic.
Tang Zheng guessed that Quinn Easai also had countermeasures.
Did he escape in that direction?
No! A flash of light flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. Based on Quinn Easai's performance just now, it did look like he was running away, but his third profession was Hunter.
Facing the pursuit of a Magic Caster, creating distance was not the right choice. If Tang Zheng was Quinn Easai, then what he really needed to do after becoming invisible was not to escape, but—
"Mind's Eye!"
Tang Zheng roared inwardly.
Invisible perception spread out from himself as the center, forming a perception space with a diameter of about five meters.
Silently! Quinn Easai's invisible figure had already circled behind Tang Zheng, and a Dagger with purple venom appeared in his hand.
"Swamp Crocodile's Crushing Jaw Strike!" Quinn Easai's eyes were cold, and he stabbed heavily at Tang Zheng's back.
Go to hell!
Bang.
White light spots gathered, and a Third Tier Flame Archangel appeared behind Tang Zheng.
Crack!
The purple dagger easily tore through the Flame Archangel's silver-white armor, piercing it, and the Flame Archangel transformed into motes of light and dissipated.
Tang Zheng, taking advantage of the Flame Archangel's brief obstruction, acted like a Magic Caster and re-established distance.
[Death Orb: 50→25/280]
"Dragon Lightning!"
Tang Zheng raised both hands, and dazzling blue lightning gathered between his arms, condensing into a dragon-shaped thunderbolt that fiercely struck out.
"Petrification Lizard's Protection!"
Quinn Easai's crimson eyes widened, and he emerged from his invisible state, roaring.
A layer of rock-like, stony scales appeared all over his body.
Boom!
"Ah!!"
Blinding electric light enveloped Quinn Easai, who let out a muffled groan of pain, his stony scales turning charred black.
"You're really troublesome, blondie." Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched as he saw the other party withstand the magic attack head-on, and he spoke loudly.
Only 25 points of Mana remained in the 'Death Orb', enough to use a Fifth Tier Magic one more time.
This was the first time he had encountered a situation where all the Mana in the 'Death Orb' had been exhausted in a single battle.
"Who exactly are you!" Quinn Easai's stony scales disappeared, revealing large areas of burn marks, and he growled with a twisted, painful expression: "There's absolutely no one with your strength in any country."
Crack—
A ring on Quinn Easai's right hand made a soft sound and shattered between his fingers.
"Crimson Owl's Blitz!" Quinn Easai, holding the purple Dagger, disregarded his injuries and spoke with a ferocious expression.
Whoosh! Quinn Easai's figure disappeared again, but this time it wasn't Invisibility; instead, he appeared behind Tang Zheng out of nowhere in a bizarre manner.
This time, the distance was closer, and the speed was faster!
But.
Under the ability of 'Mind's Eye', Tang Zheng immediately noticed Quinn Easai, who had appeared behind him out of nowhere, and conjured a semi-transparent wind-attribute spear in mid-air.
"Hurricane Knight Lance!"
Tang Zheng didn't need to turn around; the Hurricane Knight Lance in front of him had already been launched.
Swoosh! The Hurricane Knight Lance stirred up fierce air currents and collided with Quinn Easai, who had appeared behind Tang Zheng, in an instant.
At such close range, with the speed unleashed by the Hurricane Knight Lance, even if Quinn Easai had a ring that could deflect magic attacks, he wouldn't have had time to dodge. Boom! The Hurricane Knight Lance pierced through Quinn Easai's chest, and the powerful destructive force almost tore his body in two.
Blood and minced meat splattered in the air!
"Ah!!!"
Quinn Easai let out a scream and crashed heavily to the ground.
Facing the arrival of death, his dissipating crimson pupils struggled to look at the blurry figure suspended in the air above.
"The matter can't be concealed anymore; perhaps I can muddle through." The thought flashed through Quinn Easai's mind, and then a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "Heh, you'll soon understand… what exactly you've provoked."
Boom!
A loud noise echoed through the jungle, and a deep pit appeared on the ground.
Tang Zheng was briefly stunned because Quinn Easai had offered no resistance at all to the Hurricane Knight Lance's attack at the end.
"Damn it!"
Tang Zheng reacted and quickly descended.
He found Quinn Easai lying in the deep pit, his chest completely torn apart by the Hurricane Knight Lance, with only the skin on both sides barely connecting him, preventing him from being completely dismembered.
At this moment!
The other party's aura was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and without a moment's hesitation.
He took out bottle after bottle of Regeneration Potion and sprinkled them on the other party as if they were free.
Once Quinn Easai dies, the Slane Theocracy will definitely know, especially the God-Human Captain of the Darkness Scripture. That person is responsible for the resurrection of the entire team.
And the most troublesome Astrology Thousand Miles! That detection-type Magic Caster wearing something like a high school uniform.
There's no such thing as high school uniforms in this other world. The outfit that person is wearing is very likely a piece of equipment left behind by the Six Great Gods.
In the anime, that person was able to lock onto and observe the battlefield of the kingdom from a long distance, so naturally they also have the ability to lock onto the Great Swamp.
