Chapter 373: Exploring the Fear of the Dark Night Dead Archmage
Chapter 373: Exploring the Fear of the Dark Night Dead Archmage
wow——
Over this grey dead land, above this decaying town.
A slight wave of air passed by.
Tang Zheng was thousands of meters in the air, and with the excellent vision of the transformed dragon king, he could clearly observe the town below.
The skills of the Ninja system can exert power equivalent to that of high-level magic according to the amount of magic power consumed.
Tang Zheng consumed 50 points of magic power.
The effect of "Ninjutsu: Concealment" reaches the level of tenth-order concealment magic.
of course.
Since it is a ninjutsu system, the magic power consumed is different from normal-level magic and will not be affected by passive effects, reducing the consumption of magic power by 15 points.
"They are just some ordinary zombies. There aren't that many of them, probably less than 100."
Tang Zheng observed from above and after confirming the information about the deadly area below, his eyes flashed calmly:
"We haven't found any powerful individuals, but we still need to be cautious."
With his current hiding means.
Even though he didn't have a rogue build, with the help of the [Ninja] class, not even Evileye could find him.
Unless you encounter a strong man at the level of the True Dragon King, or a character over level 60 who is proficient in intelligence construction.
Observed again from above.
After Tang Zheng made sure that nothing was missed, he gently flapped his dragon wings and his body fell down as nimbly and agilely as a falling leaf.
Evileye remained where she was, probably recovering her magic power, but her eyes were fixed forward.
There is a sad atmosphere.
The undead cannot cry, nor do they have such a mechanism, so even if they are sad, it probably cannot be seen from their expressions.
"How is your magic power recovering?"
A majestic yet low voice suddenly sounded from mid-air.
Evileye subconsciously looked behind her, but still found nothing. She suppressed her inner emotions and responded respectfully: "My magic power has been restored."
She had secretly used two types of detection magic, "Magic Detection" and "Life Detection", before, but they were useless.
The other party's means of invisibility is probably more powerful magic or ability.
“I can now be teleported to the capital of the Kingdom of Imperia.” Evileye asked with a hint of heaviness and nostalgia in her tone.
Tang Zheng did not reply immediately, his voice was indifferent: "Didn't you find anything unusual here?"
abnormal?
Evileye quickly alerted and looked around.
This place is a town located on the border of the "Imperia Kingdom". It is called a "town" in the past, and now it has long since turned into an empty plain.
Even the remaining bricks and tiles of the building have long since weathered away. After all, more than 250 years have passed.
"The number of undead?"
Evileye thought for a moment, then muttered to herself.
Tang Zheng nodded while hiding himself, his golden pupils narrowed: "According to what you said before, this country has been destroyed for more than 200 years."
"The citizens living here have also become undead. With so many undead gathered together, they will form an astonishing negative energy, which will give rise to more undead, and even powerful undead."
"But there aren't many undead in this town."
Tang Zheng spoke in a low voice, his eyes full of thought.
The reason why he remained invisible was to guard against the possibility of encountering the Ruined Palace Dragon King, or even other more dangerous accidents.
Don’t mention anything else!
In the spin-off, Kuchikan Ryuuou died at the hands of Bone King who arrived alone 200 years earlier, and his true condition is currently unknown.
The information from the Silian Theocracy mentioned that the Kuchikan Dragon King and the Vampire Dragon King had already perished.
But is it really so?
Tang Zheng couldn't be sure.
Because in this world, the only ones who can kill the Ruined Palace Dragon King are players, besides the True Dragon Kings of the same level.
And you have to be a player equipped with "world-class props"!
The fall of the "Imberia Kingdom" and the birth of Evileye are proof of the existence of the Kuchikan Dragon King. If the other party had not died, more than 200 years would have passed.
The power of Kuchikan Ryuuou will only be stronger than in the spin-off.
If he died... this possibility was even more terrifying!
This proves that the player who killed the Ruined Palace Dragon King is even more powerful and mysterious. Even because of the ability of the Ruined Palace Dragon King's "Corpse Armor", ordinary level 100 players are no match for him at all.
Multiplayer alliance?
In 200 years, is it possible that another mysterious guild will come?
No matter which point.
They all represent a threat to Tang Zheng at the moment, so he needs to be extremely careful.
"Your Excellency Dragon King, what is our next step?"
Evileye pursed her lips, thinking quickly, and asked quietly.
This place is at the border of the country, and there are not many undead. It is possible that they were cleansed out by the living who accidentally broke into this area.
Of course, there is another possibility!
Evileye's heart was shaken, and she remembered the place she had neglected.
If the Crimson Dragon King had not lied to her, then what was the purpose of the mysterious True Dragon King in turning all the people in the country into immortals?
Could it be that the other party is still in this country!
Rage rose within Evileye, and she clenched her fists as she recalled the tragic scene of once-happy people turning into undead.
"Since you were once a native of this country, you should be familiar with the locations of all the towns in this country."
Tang was thinking briefly when a deep voice emerged from the air.
“Understood.” Evileye said.
"Then let's visit all the towns in this country first, and then go to the royal capital." Tang Zheng said.
If this area has been occupied, then the enemy will probably be in the capital of this country, but of course all towns cannot be completely ruled out.
"Yes, Your Excellency Dragon King."
Evileye did not refuse, but carried out the order seriously.
Because at present, her goal is the same as that of His Majesty the Dragon King, both want to find the true Dragon King who uses the magic called [Origin Magic] to destroy this country.
——The downturn month.
6 month 2 day.
In 5 days, the two explored almost all the towns in the "Imberia Kingdom".
In this country filled with undead, there are indeed no living people found, but the number of undead is not large.
[Experience slot: 2588w/188w]
The stored experience points exceeded 2000 million.
Tang Zheng felt a little anxious and wanted to get a new job as soon as possible, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed.
Naturally, he would not waste this experience on ordinary professions.
A barren land with no buildings at all.
The gray-black ground was filled with deathly aura, and scattered low-level zombie-like undead slowly passed by Evileye.
It is the nature of the undead to attack the living.
but.
As an undead, Evileye cannot be attacked by her own kind.
"Your Excellency Dragon King, the only place that has not been explored yet is the capital."
There was a hint of heaviness in Evileye's voice. After so many days of exploration, her desire to go to the capital became stronger and stronger.
"Then let's explore this last place."
Tang Zheng's eyes were deep and he laughed softly: "I also want to see if there are any unexpected surprises."
“If you encounter an unexpected situation, I may not necessarily help you, Evileye.”
"I understand, Your Excellency Dragon King."
Evileye responded respectfully: "Not visible."
A flash of magic.
Evileye's entire body turned transparent and disappeared.
This is a second-tier magic, but Tang Zheng can still detect Evileye's location with his perception ability. "Teleport."
Evileye cast her magic again and chanted softly.
Swish!
The figure disappeared.
Tang Zheng immediately determined the location of the magic mark left on Ivileye, but did not teleport there immediately.
But wait quietly.
It takes about seven or eight minutes.
"It shouldn't be dangerous."
After Tang Zheng confirmed this, he took out a 5th-level "Teleportation" scroll from the item box.
It is very troublesome to make a scroll of the 10th level, but it is relatively easy for Tang Zheng to make a low-level scroll.
He currently has 918 points of magic power. It takes 350 points of magic power to make a tenth-level scroll. Normally, he can make two scrolls a day.
Now that I have mastered "Quick Mana Recovery", I can temporarily use 459 more mana.
While retaining some magic power to deal with emergencies, a maximum of three tenth-level scrolls can be made every day.
just now!
Tang Zheng already has 152 tenth-level magic scrolls stored in his hands.
In fact, it is also possible to use the method of "casting spells based on experience points", but at present Tang Zheng is unable to spare the experience to be used for this purpose.
He has stored more than 2000 million experience points. Although it seems like a lot, it is insignificant compared to the 40 levels of room for level increase.
Swish!
The scroll was crushed.
Tang Zheng disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had arrived at a completely decayed city.
All that was visible to the naked eye were weathered ruins, broken walls covered with thick layers of dust, and the surface was dotted with large and small corroded pits.
These remaining walls, which were the strongest during their construction, would completely turn into dust on the earth with just the slightest force.
Besides!
A large number of undead are wandering in this city, and the strong negative energy makes the entire air appear gray.
When Tang Zheng saw these undead, his pupils condensed. He raised his head and looked into the distance, where he could see the former royal city.
Compared to the broken ruins at first glance, after more than 200 years, the entire royal city still retains its general outline.
In the location of the royal city.
Tang Zheng felt an even stronger aura of negative energy.
"really."
"Someone has gathered all the undead from the surrounding towns here."
Tang Zheng understood. No wonder they found very few undead in the surrounding towns.
"It can be confirmed at present that the Dragon King of Kuchikan is not here."
Given the huge size of the "corpse armor" of the Ruikan Dragon King, which is over a hundred meters long, it is almost impossible to hide it.
"Your Excellency the Dragon King..."
"Your Excellency the Dragon King?"
Evileye leaned against a broken stone wall, and spoke in a low voice from time to time, trying to make sure whether Tang Zheng was there.
This sneaky look made Tang Zheng feel a little funny.
"explain."
Tang Zheng silently hovered above the other person's head and spoke in a low and light voice.
Hear Tang Zheng's voice.
Evileye paused as she was about to shout again, and quickly whispered respectfully, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, I have already checked it out."
"There seems to be signs of activity in the direction of the capital."
"We have discovered that the reason why there are so few undead people in the town during this period is that they are most likely gathered here intentionally."
Evileye's face looked grim.
This royal city was obviously occupied by someone, and the exact time was impossible to ascertain. The only thing that made her unsure was whether the enemy was the real Dragon King mentioned by His Majesty the Dragon King.
"There is no Dragon King here. It is probably an undead being like you."
Tang Zheng said directly: "Evileye, go and catch it. I need to get information from it."
This is the tone of giving orders to subordinates, and facing an unknown enemy without any intelligence is a relatively dangerous action.
however.
Evileye did not refuse: "Dragon King, can you use the magic that can block teleportation again to prevent the enemy from escaping?"
"can."
Tang Zheng responded calmly.
next moment.
Evileye lifted the "invisibility" and soared into the air from where she was standing, flying towards the depths of the royal capital openly.
Dense groups of undead on the ground, and undead and undead spirits such as skeleton eagles soaring in the sky.
After seeing Evileye suddenly appear, he did not launch any attack, allowing the other party to approach the ruined royal city.
Deep in the ruins of the royal city.
The once spacious royal palace in this ruined country has now become an experimental site for some entity.
"Roar——"
"Roar!"
Two undead zombies, one looking strong and the other slender, were each imprisoned in an iron cage protected by magic.
Occasional roars echoed in the hall.
Cassius Habakkuk stood at the desk built in the center of the hall, holding a pen in his shriveled, bony hands, writing something.
I've become accustomed to the roar.
These two undead zombies are very important research materials. They were both powerful when they were alive, so even after becoming undead, their strength is far beyond that of low-level dead animals.
Judging from the appearance of the two undead zombies, they are a man and a woman in the words of the living, but this does not make any sense to the undead.
By absorbing huge amounts of magic power, he surpassed the Great Magician of the Dead and was called the "Great Magician of the Dark Night Dead".
This name only appears in words of fear and dread, and it is a mythical existence that is as significant as disaster.
Cassius Habakkuk is a terrifying existence. As a naturally born immortal with wisdom, even in this unique situation,
It still took him hundreds of years to finally become the Great Magician of the Dark Night Dead, and he had no idea what his next goal would be.
This is an unacceptable reality!
Perhaps there are powerful undead within the organization who know this.
Those two special undead individuals were originally used by Cassius Habakkuk to exchange knowledge with other members of the organization.
but--
When Cassius Habakkuk thought of this, he felt a surge of fear in his heart. As the most powerful being in the world, it was impossible for him to feel fear towards others.
But there are always some things in this world that go beyond common sense.
Dragon King!
An extremely evil and terrifying dragon king.
That existence has now dominated the entire organization. Fortunately, he is not a member of the inner circle and barely escaped.
In short, he no longer planned to allow the organization to contact him.
What a pity for the knowledge in the organization.
The same goes for my own research. To the undead, time is meaningless.
Cassius Habakkuk collected the thoughts that were spreading in his mind and continued to bend over to write on the table.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge roar came from outside the hall.
Cassius Habakkuk raised his head, revealing a rotten, shriveled zombie face, with confusion in his blood-red, intelligent eyes.
