Chapter 178 - Transformation Ring, Activating Resurrection Magic

With this Magic Item in hand, Tang Zheng now possessed all Four Great Treasures of the Lizardmen.

He withdrew his gaze from the Magic Cauldron.

"What's the deal with this Magic Ring?"

Tang Zheng flipped his hand, revealing a Magic Ring in his palm—the very one he had obtained from the Cave Lizardmen, a Magic Item with the ability to alter one's appearance.

He had already identified it before; this Magic Ring could only make simple changes to one's appearance.

"This is a Magic Item that he taught us. It can only make simple changes to our appearance," the Emerald Witch quickly said respectfully, taking out an identical Magic Ring from her bosom. "Every so often, we need to inject Mana into the Transformation Ring to use it again."

Hearing that it was a ring given to the Twin Witches by the Gray Robe Magic Caster, Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Can you use this ring to transform into humans?" Tang Zheng asked the Emerald Witch.

"Yes, Master."

The Emerald Witch nodded, placing the Transformation Ring on her finger. Then, her body trembled slightly, and the leaves covering her body fell away.

Immediately!

The Emerald Witch's body was enveloped in a pale white light, twisting and deforming.

In the blink of an eye, a girl with pale skin, white hair, and an appearance of only sixteen or seventeen years old stood before Tang Zheng.

"Wrap the leaves around yourself."

Tang Zheng turned his head slightly, his tone unchanged.

The Emerald Witch was somewhat puzzled but immediately complied, rewrapping the fallen leaves around her body.

Only then did Tang Zheng re-examine the Emerald Witch. From her appearance, one could not tell that she was a Demi-human.

The Transformation Ring's ability could only make simple changes to one's appearance. Fortunately, apart from their appearance and overly gaunt figures, the Twin Witches were very similar to humans.

"You, go in," Tang Zheng said, looking at the White Mist Witch beside her.

The White Mist Witch understood, her figure moved, and she transformed into a cloud of white mist, merging into the Emerald Witch's body.

"Very good."

Tang Zheng nodded in satisfaction at this scene, a smile on his face. However, his next words made the Twin Witches tremble. "At least you still have some other uses. I was originally considering whether to dispose of you two."

The Twin Witches were terrified.

Whoosh! Tang Zheng tossed the ring in his hand, throwing it towards the Twin Witches.

The Twin Witches quickly reached out and caught it.

"Throw this Transformation Ring into the Lizardmen's territory. After you've done that, leave the Great Swamp," Tang Zheng said indifferently.

"Leave?" The Emerald Witch was stunned and somewhat puzzled. Tang Zheng lowered his eyelids and looked at her indifferently.

The Emerald Witch closed her mouth and lowered her head in Fear.

"Go south. With your strength, crossing the Tove Great Forest shouldn't be a problem. There are many human villages on the outskirts of the Tove Great Forest. Find a way to blend in."

"First, learn how to integrate into human society."

Tang Zheng reached into the Magic Belt at his waist, took out a pouch containing 50 Gold Coins, and threw it over.

Clink~ Clink~ The pouch flew through the air and landed in the hands of the Twin Witches, the Gold Coins inside colliding and making a crisp sound.

He watched the direction in which the Twin Witches left.

"There are indeed too few usable subordinates," Tang Zheng muttered to himself.

He had originally planned to have the Twin Witches assist the Magic Serpent Naga in the Tove Great Forest, but after a little consideration, he abandoned the idea.

Because the Twin Witches' situation was different from that of the Magic Serpent Naga.

The Twin Witches submitted to him entirely out of Fear of his strength. In addition, the Twin Witches were also clear that Tang Zheng had left Magic Marks on them, so they could not escape even if they wanted to.

That was why they obediently followed Tang Zheng's orders.

As for the Magic Serpent Naga, it concerned the acquisition of Experience Points in the later stages, and Tang Zheng did not want any problems to arise unless absolutely necessary.

As for the reason for letting the Twin Witches leave the Great Swamp?

Naturally, it was to guard against the Slane Theocracy's next actions.

His words just now were not meant to scare the Twin Witches. If the Twin Witches couldn't transform into humans through the Magic Ring,

Tang Zheng would have indeed taken the opportunity to eliminate the Twin Witches along with the Cave Lizardmen.

Next—

He looked at the Gray Robe Magic Caster who was unconscious beside him.

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. He planned to use him as the first person for experimentation and complete killing.

"Irrelevant of right or wrong."

"I hope you can slumber forever."

Tang Zheng stood up, gazing at the Gray Robe Magic Caster. With a flip of his hand, an Iron Sword appeared, and he swung it down.

Blood spurted from the throat!

The Gray Robe Magic Caster woke up from his unconscious state, his bloodshot eyes widening abruptly. His body twitched a few times before he completely lost his breath.

「Experience Gained: 16212」

[Experience Bar: 65977/120000]

The information on the stats panel flickered.

"Above 29Lv, it actually provides nearly twenty thousand experience," Tang Zheng said, slightly surprised by the experience points gained.

Since he couldn't accurately determine the Gray Robe Magic Caster's specific level, Tang Zheng couldn't analyze the exact amount of experience points given per level.

"Raise Dead - Modified!"

The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind as he immediately activated the Resurrection Magic, his eyes fixed on the area above the Gray Robe Magic Caster's body.

Under the passive ability of the [Shaman Instructor], he could see the translucent soul emerging from the Gray Robe Magic Caster's body after death.

Buzz—

A powerful Mana fluctuation emanated from Tang Zheng, forming a circular Magic Mark three meters in diameter under his feet.

The invisible, astonishing Mana caused the surrounding air to become heavy.

Since "Raise Dead - Modified" was a Resurrection Magic modified by humans from another world that could be released through the Mana system, it required twice the amount of Mana.

Such a large Mana consumption, even with Tang Zheng's current Mana reserves, couldn't sustain it for long.

Therefore, he activated the [Mad Magic Caster]'s Class Skill "Mad Meditation" to replace the consumption.

Whoosh—

The light of the Magic Mark flashed.

The soul, which had been floating above the Gray Robe Magic Caster's corpse and gradually showing signs of dissipating, was forcibly pressed back into the corpse by the Resurrection Magic.

"Ah—"

The Gray Robe Magic Caster's corpse instantly regained life, subconsciously letting out a scream as if waking up from a nightmare, his face covered in cold sweat as he sat up.

"Thank you, Allia..."

The Gray Robe Magic Caster gasped for breath, his consciousness gradually returning to clarity, and he subconsciously wanted to speak.

However! When he saw Tang Zheng standing in front of him, the Gray Robe Magic Caster's pupils contracted sharply, and his face revealed shocked, stunned, and incredulous emotions.

"Swarm—" The Gray Robe Magic Caster wanted to release Magic, but Tang Zheng, who was prepared, acted first and knocked him unconscious again.

At such close range, the Gray Robe Magic Caster had no chance of resisting Tang Zheng's true close-combat abilities.

"Resurrection Magic is indeed related to the soul."

Tang Zheng looked at the unconscious Gray Robe Magic Caster, thinking about the changes that had occurred during the entire process, and murmured, "The aura has clearly weakened a lot. According to the characteristics of low-level Resurrection Magic, he should have lost four levels."

Tang Zheng had already known about this change, so he wasn't surprised.

In the anime and light novel versions, Bone King and Demiurge conducted extensive experiments on Healing Magic and Resurrection Magic and had already reached certain conclusions.

The reason Tang Zheng didn't resurrect Forest Sage Hamsuke after killing it was because its life level would drop after resurrection.

The reduction in experience points was a minor issue.

The main problem was that the level of its fur and other materials would also decrease upon resurrection.

As for skinning it beforehand, that wouldn't work either, because any missing limbs would also disappear upon resurrection.

This was a conclusion reached by Demiurge, so there was no way to farm materials using Resurrection Magic. There were some bug-exploiting behaviors that could be attempted, but the results were unknown.
