Chapter 388: Ace "Carly's Sigh" Activated, Twin Heavenly Kings Annihilated
Retracting the pipa once more!
Upholder of Nations' entire body glowed with a faint golden light as he strummed the strings with a roar, "Brahma Sound Resonance!"
Swish!
Brilliant golden light poured from the pipa, an unstoppable golden torrent that instantly enveloped the entire plaza.
An ultra-wide range attack!
There was no way to dodge it; it was a pure percentage-based skill.
[HP: 1000/1125 · MP: 770/918]
"Damn it, cough!"
Tang Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body feeling as if it were pricked by needles. Ignoring the pain, he reached into his Item Box and pulled out a scroll, his gaze fixed on Many-Heard Heaven, who held a five-colored umbrella:
"The conversion between the Diamond Realm and the Womb Realm takes about 8 minutes. There are about 7 minutes left."
He crushed the scroll!
[Sixth Tier · Greater Heal] was cast.
Sacred, gentle white light appeared in the air. As it descended upon Tang Zheng to heal him, "Hua Gai · Red!"
Many-Heard Heaven held the five-colored treasure umbrella, a magical item. A hint of compassion flickered on its green face: "Sin!"
With a "ding" sound!
The spinning pointer landed on the red surface of the umbrella.
The healing magic that Greater Heal had released, radiating holy light, was instantly transformed into pure, dark negative energy.
The magic struck!
Tang Zheng immediately felt the corrosive damage of the negative energy, letting out a muffled grunt, his brow twitching, "It can do that!"
The healing magic had, at that moment, become an offensive magic that dealt damage!
[HP: 990/1125 · MP: 770/918]
Greater Heal would restore 100 HP. When converted into negative attributes, it would naturally deal the same amount of damage. However, he possessed the passive skill Dark Attribute Resistance (80%).
This pure energy attack, with its bonuses and effects largely negated, combined with Flesh Armament and his own magic resistance, ultimately only dealt 10 damage.
Though the damage was low!
The situation was worse, as it meant Many-Heard Heaven had sealed his healing magic.
"Damn it!"
Tang Zheng now clearly understood how disgusting Many-Heard Heaven was, and his desire to eliminate these two Heavenly Kings first grew stronger:
"That five-colored umbrella symbolizes the five colors of Buddhist light. I should have a complete understanding of its five skills now."
White · Shield!
Yellow · Taunt!
Red · Heal Conversion!
Green · Silence!
Blue · Heal Boost!
The opponent also had a skill that could forcibly change Summoned Creature permissions.
The only uncertainty was Many-Heard Heaven's ultimate move, and whether there were any more offensive skills.
"Following the game's usual patterns, a Boss's HP will change its skills once it drops to a certain level, and it might even gain more powerful moves."
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his gaze towards the two Heavenly Kings ahead grew colder.
His most dreaded guess!
Was that he would eventually have to face all four Heavenly Kings simultaneously.
Tang Zheng was confident he could outlast the two Heavenly Kings in a one-on-two fight.
In terms of offensive skills, he indeed couldn't compare to these Heavenly Kings, but the passives and stats accumulated from a series of high-tier jobs were not weaker than those of these Heavenly Kings.
Bang!
The air vibrated.
[Sub-String · Wave]
A fan-shaped shockwave was released from Upholder of Nations' hand.
"Skeleton Wall!"
Tang Zheng chanted, casting a defensive spell.
A wall made of bones blocked the sonic wave attack, shattering into pulverized debris.
Swish!
Tang Zheng's figure flickered as he began to move, his gaze assessing the positions of the two Heavenly Kings, thinking to himself:
"There's still one thing I need to confirm..."
"Fifth Tier Beast Summoning: Bronze Axe Minotaur!"
"Fifth Tier Angel Summoning: Purification Power Angel!"
Two magical lights, one blue and one white, condensed.
A tall minotaur wielding a bronze axe and an angel holding a golden banner appeared before Tang Zheng simultaneously.
Tang Zheng mastered three types of summoning magic. Under normal circumstances, without corresponding summoning system constructs, he could only summon one magical beast at a time for the same type of summoning magic.
However.
Activating different summoning magics did not have this restriction.
"Beast Summoning" and "Composite Elemental Summoning" were previously at the Second Tier and Third Tier levels respectively.
Before entering the [Two Worlds Mandala].
Tang Zheng had used "Magic Rise" to upgrade these two summoning magics to Ninth Tier, consuming 13 skill points.
[Skill Points: 125 → 112]
He hadn't upgraded them to Tenth Tier (Lv 64-70) because Tang Zheng's current player level was only 60.
After summoning these two magical beasts, Tang Zheng not only didn't have them attack but immediately controlled the Bronze Axe Minotaur and the Purification Power Angel to move away from the two Heavenly Kings.
Ding!
"Tethered String: Sink"
"Fortune's Fall"
The Upholder of Nations and the Many-Heard Heaven, the two Heavenly Kings, also activated their skills at this moment.
Swish! Swish!
Magic circles, about a meter in diameter, appeared in the four directions around Tang Zheng – front, back, left, and right. Azure light shone from these magic circles.
Thick whips, resembling strings, emerged from the four magic circles and struck towards Tang Zheng, who was at the center, from different trajectories simultaneously.
Whoosh!
The strings whipped through the air, creating sharp, piercing sounds.
"Mind's Eye!"
Tang Zheng let out a low shout. The four strings, with their different attack trajectories, became clearly visible in his mind as if by telepathy, thanks to the martial arts skill.
His agile figure weaved and dodged!
Tang Zheng moved like a nimble dancer, continuously flashing and leaping through the afterimages of the whipping strings, quickly escaping the range of the magical attack.
"Roar!"
The Bronze Axe Minotaur suddenly let out a furious roar. Its originally scarlet eyes emitted a faint golden light, and it raised its axe, charging towards Tang Zheng.
The moment he lost control, Tang Zheng had already noticed it, but he showed no surprise. Instead, his gaze shifted towards the Angel.
"The Many-Heard Heaven's skill can apparently only control one summoned creature!"
Tang Zheng's face revealed a slight smile. Last time, his Shadow Clone had been controlled in reverse, making him hesitant to summon Shadow Clones carelessly this time:
"Information gathering complete!"
Tang Zheng felt a slight ease in his heart and immediately controlled the Purification Power Angel to block the uncontrolled Bronze Axe Minotaur.
Since only one could be controlled, dispelling the summon was naturally the last resort. He needed to make the Bronze Axe Minotaur occupy the Many-Heard Heaven's control slot!
"It's my turn to counterattack!"
"Magic Rise: Tenth Tier: Composite Elemental Summoning: Storm Elemental Spirit!" Tang Zheng's mana surged rapidly, a portion of it disappearing.
[HP: 990/1125 · MP: 675/918]
The magical light flashed!
The composite element did not appear, as if the magic activation had failed.
However!
The moment Tang Zheng cast the magic, he simultaneously activated the passive effect "Magic Preparation," storing the spell.
He looked towards the Heavenly Kings.
From now on, it wasn't the time to save scrolls.
"Teleport!"
Tang Zheng's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing in front of the Upholder of Nations, who held a five-colored treasure umbrella.
"Tenth Tier: Heating" shattered!
RUMBLE—
A crimson light erupted, and the rapidly expanding high temperature formed a powerful shockwave, blasting Many-Heard Heaven away from its original position.
Tang Zheng had chosen the teleportation angle specifically so that the direction Many-Heard Heaven was sent flying would be directly towards Upholder of Nations.
"Tenth Tier: Heating" shattered.
RUMBLE!
Many-Heard Heaven didn't have time to activate its special support skills and was once again blasted away, continuing to approach Upholder of Nations.
"Entangling Strings: Bind"
"Abomination!"
Upholder of Nations, located in the distance, roared and pressed its strings.
Numerous threads suddenly appeared on Tang Zheng's body, wrapping around his limbs. The threads extended downwards towards the white floor, creating a stable stance.
This was clearly a binding skill!
Tang Zheng's body merely swayed slightly before he easily broke free from the binding threads. He crushed the "Tenth Tier: Heating" scroll in his hand again.
He possessed the passive skill "Movement Obstruction Immunity," making binding skills useless against him.
RUMBLE!
Many-Heard Heaven continued to be blasted away. The continuous knockback effect prevented it from using its skills at all.
"Tenth Tier: Heating" shattered!
...
"Tenth Tier: Heating" shattered!
In a short period, seven scrolls were consumed. The continuous explosions and roars pushed Many-Heard Heaven directly to Upholder of Nations' side.
"Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!" Tang Zheng activated the skill.
The shadow clone emerged and immediately targeted Many-Heard Heaven, launching "Ninjutsu: Immobile Binding Technique."
An invisible wave struck!
Many-Heard Heaven stood rigidly in place.
"Gale Acceleration!"
"Gale Break!"
Tang Zheng instantly closed the distance, appearing right in front of Upholder of Nations. The Pain of Ice Fang in his hand drew a blue arc through the air:
"Four Light Consecutive Slash: Break!"
A cold glint bloomed on Upholder of Nations' left hand, knocking away its left hand which held the pipa.
Flipping his wrist, he swung downwards with force.
"Rapid Slash!"
At that moment, Upholder of Nations also roared: "Brahma Sound Resonance!"
Brilliant golden light was released!
[HP: 887/1125 · MP: 675/918]
Pfft!
Tang Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth and enduring the stinging pain all over his body, continuing to swing the Pain of Ice Fang.
Upholder of Nations' right hand, which was dragging the pipa, was also struck down. The pipa, which looked wooden but had a metallic texture, fell from the air.
In that instant!
Tang Zheng, without even stopping to observe, activated another martial art: "Instant Reflex!"
A layer of blue light enveloped his entire body.
Tang Zheng's figure instantly adjusted, returning to the stance from which he had just attacked. Ignoring the stinging pain and the creeping exhaustion, he roared:
"Four Light Consecutive Slash: Break!"
This time, the target of the attack was Many-Heard Heaven beside him.
However!
Upholder of Nations' previous attack had also damaged the shadow clone, causing the ninjutsu to dissipate on its own.
Many-Heard Heaven regained control of its body. Whether it was because I sensed some danger or triggered some special mechanism, I don't know.
"Your blessings are like clouds, yet you illuminate yourself with thunderbolts!"
Many-Heard Heaven raised the five-colored treasure umbrella with one hand, its eyes filled with stern majesty as it roared:
"*Do you dare violate me*!"
The large-scale golden light that Upholder of Nations had just released had not yet dissipated when it was drawn like a siphon towards Many-Heard Heaven's body.
Immediately!
Then, two golden beams of light were released from the palms of the Many-Heard Heaven's other arms.
Bang!
The shadow clone was instantly annihilated.
Another golden beam shot directly at Tang Zheng's chest, while the Pain of Ice Fang attack also struck the palm of the Many-Heard Heaven, who held an umbrella in one hand.
Clatter!
The palm loosened, and the five-colored treasure umbrella, a magic item, dropped.
Crack!
The red armor of Tang Zheng's Flesh Armament on his chest shattered. The powerful recoil force sent Tang Zheng flying into the air.
A dull impact!
It made Tang Zheng's chest go numb, as if a stream of blood wanted to surge from his throat, but he couldn't afford to care about anything else at this moment.
Bloodshot veins appeared in the whites of his eyes!
The preceding events happened within one second.
There were still 2 seconds left!
"Magic without incantation—Tenth Tier Magic—Composite Elemental Summoning—Storm Elemental Spirit!"
"Magic Preparation—Tenth Tier—Storm Elemental Spirit!"
In an instant!
Two whirlwind-like sprites of yellow sand appeared simultaneously before the Upholder of Nations and the Many-Heard Heaven, who had dropped their weapons, and lunged forward.
Without the buff bonus and the weapon-dropping mechanic, the two Heavenly Kings offered no resistance, allowing the two elemental spirits to get close.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two spirits were almost instant casts!
During this process, Tang Zheng threw two potions from his Item Box.
Under the fierce sandstorm attacks released by the Storm Elemental Spirits themselves, the "Integration Potion" bottles shattered, and the potions spilled onto the elemental spirits.
Hummm—
Hummm—
An unbelievable scene occurred.
The two Storm Elemental Spirits actually showed signs of merging with the two Heavenly Kings.
1 second!
"Carly Goddess's Sigh: Elemental Annihilation Day!"
Tang Zheng roared.
A massive ripple appeared above Tang Zheng's head and behind him. A colossal female phantom appeared in the sky.
It lowered its head, looking down at the two Heavenly Kings below!
"Sigh~"
A faint sigh echoed.
0 seconds!
Tang Zheng only felt a flash of white before his eyes. His body, which had been sent flying into the air, could no longer suppress a cough of blood, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
"Cough, cough..."
Tang Zheng raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, quickly flipped over, and stood up. He looked forward.
The figure of Carly Goddess had already vanished!
Only then.
The Upholder of Nations and the Many-Heard Heaven had their respective magic items back in their hands, their figures, emitting a faint golden light, standing still in place.
However!
The Upholder of Nations had a severed head, as if split in two by some force, with its entire left side completely gone.
The Many-Heard Heaven was even more exaggerated, with only one arm and half of its upper body floating in mid-air.
The other parts of the two Heavenly Kings' bodies seemed to have been directly erased, leaving an empty void. The contrast between their imposing presence and their residual bodies emitting a faint golden light.
At this moment, it felt somewhat eerie!
A pair of eyes, barely put together, looked up, their imposing silence directed towards Tang Zheng's location. A Buddhist chant emanated from one of the Heavenly Kings.
"When the restless heart ceases, one attains Bodhi." The Upholder of Nations' half-head turned slightly.
"Cultivating both blessings and wisdom, one then attains Bodhi."
The Many-Heard Heaven's low chant, like a self-muttered prayer.
The next moment!
The bodies of the two Heavenly Kings completely collapsed, turning into light spots and disappearing.
"I bet right."
Tang Zheng's taut nerves relaxed again, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
He had thought he had failed.
The time was too short, and the fusion of the elemental spirits was clearly incomplete; otherwise, the two Heavenly Kings would probably have been completely annihilated.
"The rank of the trump card skill is a bit higher than I anticipated." Tang Zheng's gaze flickered with deep thought as he straightened up, supporting his chest.
Crack! Crack!
The entire space began to shatter at this moment.
Tang Zheng knew that what he had to face next were the other two Heavenly Kings, and he had already used one trump card.
