Resurrection Magic countered the lava in the distance, which flowed like seawater, emitting a scorching red glow that illuminated the entire area in a fiery hue.
The surrounding rock walls had long been eroded by the scorching heat, becoming extremely hot and faintly glowing red.
Over the years, the stones on these rock walls had become no less valuable than some metal ores.
At this moment!
In a huge cave at the very top of the rock wall, a massive fire dragon covered in scarlet scales was comfortably lying on a pile of treasures made of various red gems and ores.
It was sleeping.
Without even getting close, the aura it emitted was far beyond that of a Hero-level Domain expert.
Hooosh—
The sleeping fire dragon occasionally exhaled a scorching gust of air from its nostrils.
However, its originally relaxed and stretched body suddenly jolted, as if it had sensed something.
Buzz! The fire dragon abruptly opened its eyes, raised its slender neck covered in scarlet scales, and revealed a pair of crimson pupils that looked like burning flames.
Pride, ferocity, and intelligence flashed in its eyes, quickly replaced by a hint of doubt.
Rattle! The sudden movement caused a large number of gems beneath it to roll down, creating a dense sound.
"There seems to be a powerful Magic fluctuation," the fire dragon tilted its head, its ancient and majestic voice echoing throughout the cave.
The powerful Mana fluctuation had appeared and disappeared in an instant, startling it from its slumber thanks to the great perception of the Dragon Race.
As for whether it was a hallucination? Whoosh—
Its wide and heavy fire-red wings fluttered slightly, and two huge balls of flame vibrated within the cave, even raising the temperature by a few degrees.
The great Tiooruna!
How could there be a hallucination! In the dark cave, a pair of crimson, fierce eyes flickered slightly.
...
The "Terror" land.
The aura of the Undead permeated this land without restraint. It was a huge, dilapidated city located in the Redlands.
The daytime belonged to the living, while the night belonged to the dead, especially in this land filled with the aura of the Undead, which had completely transformed into a paradise for the dead.
"Screech—"
The eerie cry of an Undead vulture, emitted from its rotten vocal cords, echoed in the air.
Skeletons and low-level Undead zombies wandered across the land and throughout the city.
Tap—Tap—
Unlike the hurried footsteps of the Undead, a sound echoed from the dilapidated streets.
The Khajiit, carrying various rare Magic materials in his arms, carefully avoided the Undead as he headed towards a three-story hotel-like building in the center of the dilapidated city.
Although he was a living person, as a Necromancer, he naturally had ways to make the Undead ignore him.
As the Khajiit hurried forward, he occasionally looked up at the towering black tower in the very center and most conspicuous area of the city.
It was a special building that seemed to be constructed as a single entity without any windows. Even in the dead of night, the black tower was still very clear.
Its Darkness appearance seemed to be deeper than the night.
That was where the true master of this dilapidated land resided, while he and the Alliance Leader were merely visitors.
The closer he got to the center, the more he could feel the negative energy permeating the air.
A hint of fervor and Fear flashed in the Khajiit's eyes. Relying on the negative energy here, if he performed the Spiral of Death ritual, he might succeed.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the Khajiit quickly extinguished it.
Although several months had passed since his Resurrection, his strength had not fully recovered, especially since he had lost the Death Orb, which made him lack confidence.
Damn bastard! Don't let me find you!
The Khajiit gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, then quickly retracted his gaze from the black tower, shrinking his neck.
The rich negative energy here was not something he could use, but rather something that the master here wanted to use to cultivate stronger Undead by gathering a large number of Undead.
A few months had passed.
Khajiit had more or less guessed who the master of this dilapidated land was, the one who could warrant a visit from their Alliance Leader and occupied such a vast territory.
In this world, there existed terrifying beings who surpassed even the Great Magic Casters of the Undead, beings who wielded power capable of easily destroying a kingdom.
According to the hidden records of various nations, only three were officially documented.
Dragon of Dark Night Undead Magic Caster - Kefangtala Angulus.
Giant God Race Dark Night Undead Magic Caster - Xiyueen.
And the most mysterious, known as the Shadow King, the Dark Night Undead Magic Caster hailed as "Terror."
These three were clearly recorded in the annals of various nations, but even top nobles or some members of the royal family might not know of their existence.
Because for the living, ignorance was a blessing.
And here! Was the territory ruled by that most mysterious and terrifying being.
Khajiit lowered his head and quickly entered the three-story inn. After reaching the top floor, he gently knocked on a door.
Click! The door opened automatically.
Alliance Leader Zuranon, his entire body shrouded in a thick, inky mist, appeared before Khajiit.
"Levitate."
Alliance Leader Zuranon extended a staff from his body and waved it in Khajiit's direction.
The large quantity of Magic materials that Khajiit had brought floated into the air and began to settle in various positions according to the complex Magic Ritual that had been prepared in the room.
"After preparing for so long, it still failed? It was expected. That insidious blond kid isn't easy to deal with." Alliance Leader Zuranon arranged the materials while chuckling in a low voice, "Well, only failure can give rise to a more fanatical yearning for power."
Khajiit stood respectfully to the side, his gaunt face and sunken eye sockets fixed on the ground, cautiously glancing at the complex Magic Ritual out of the corner of his eye.
As for what had happened? Khajiit already had some guesses. It was highly likely that he wouldn't be the only one staying here.
Crack!
As the last Magic material was placed, the Magic concentration in the entire room began to rise sharply. Alliance Leader Zuranon tossed a bottle of Blood Red potion from the black mist enveloping him into the Magic Ritual chamber.
Even though the Blood Red potion bottle was sealed with a stopper, Khajiit could still smell a thick, fishy, and bloody odor that suddenly filled the air.
"Raise Dead!" A hoarse, low voice echoed.
...
Great Swamp Lake, deep within the dense forest.
Tang Zheng held a Pocket Watch in one hand, checking the time, while occasionally glancing at the corpse of the Gray Robe Magic Caster.
"The time is longer than when Khajiit was resurrected last time. Is he preparing a Resurrection Ritual?"
Tang Zheng muttered to himself softly, without any impatience, still waiting quietly.
Time passed bit by bit.
Suddenly.
The Gray Robe Magic Caster's body twitched almost imperceptibly, and his entire body began to show signs of melting, like snow under the sun.
Tang Zheng, who had been paying attention, naturally noticed this change immediately. Without any hesitation, he chanted in a low voice, "Raise Dead!"
Buzz—
Mana fluctuations spread! The melting phenomenon of the Gray Robe Magic Caster's entire body stopped.
Unlike directly using "Resurrection Magic" to resurrect him before, Tang Zheng could clearly feel that the Mana fluctuations in the air had become manic.
*Rumble!*
A muffled thunder-like sound appeared out of nowhere, like two different forces colliding!
The restless fluctuations formed an invisible air wave, sweeping around. The branches and leaves of the surrounding twisted and bizarre trees rustled in the strong wind!
"Hmph!"
Tang Zheng snorted coldly. He could feel that he had the upper hand in this invisible confrontation.
Whoosh—
Tang Zheng directly increased the output of Mana, making the "Raise Dead" Magic even more condensed.
After a brief stalemate, the invisible shock dissipated. The Gray Robe Magic Caster screamed and sat up from the ground, gasping for breath.
"Success."
"Looks like I don't need to use the backup plan."
Tang Zheng looked at the Gray Robe Magic Caster who had been resurrected in front of him, a smile on his face. He recalled the state of the Magic confrontation just now, and thoughtfully said, "In the case of a complete corpse, releasing Magic at close range is far better than the effect of long-range Magic?"
Having obtained this experimental result.
Tang Zheng felt a slight relief in his heart. Next, he knew how to deal with Quinn Easai.
Bang! Another muffled sound, and the Gray Robe Magic Caster fainted again without any resistance.
The "Terror" Land.
Inside the room.
All kinds of precious Magic materials that had been arranged were now scattered on the ground as powder. The entire room was as messy as if it had been hit by a level seven or eight gale.
"Theocracy!"
The Alliance Leader of "Zuranon," shrouded in thick fog, let out an angry growl.
The next day.
As the sunlight re-covered the wetland.
Tang Zheng scanned the Class Skill of [Mad Mage] on the attribute panel, which showed that it could be used again.
He killed the Gray Robe Magic Caster and cast the "Raise Dead" Magic again to deal with him.
After using up all three uses of the Class Skill "Mad Meditation," the Gray Robe Magic Caster was completely unable to be resurrected with Resurrection Magic.
Whoosh!
A ball of scorching Fireball, transformed from a Thunderball, flew from Tang Zheng's palm and landed on the Gray Robe Magic Caster's corpse, burning him to ashes.
"Was I a little too cautious?"
Tang Zheng looked at the Gray Robe Magic Caster who had turned into ashes, raised his hands and rubbed his temples, and murmured to himself.
