Chapter 161: Fourth-Tier Tranquility Archon Angel! This is War
Repelled?
"You're too arrogant, Human!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia roared.
They had gathered the strength and the strongest individuals from three tribes, yet in that Human's eyes, the worst possible outcome was merely being repelled.
Tang Zheng had no intention of wasting words and waved his arm.
Swoosh!
The Flame Archangel hovering in mid-air flapped its wings and shot toward the Lizardmen.
"Leave it... to me!" Kyuku Zuzu stomped his feet hard on the ground and charged out at extreme speed.
"Did he only summon one to be on guard?" The thought flashed through Xiasiliu Xia Xia's mind. He turned to the priest elders behind him and said, "I'll be troubling you all!"
"Just leave the rest to us," the voices of the Priest Lizardmen came from behind.
"Move! Don't let that Human escape! I will stand guard against his second summoned creature." Xiasiliu Xia Xia raised his heavy longsword.
Crusch Lulu nodded, ready to cast magic at a moment's notice.
As Xiasiliu Xia Xia charged toward Tang Zheng, more than 300 Lizardman Warriors moved at the same time.
Clearly!
The Lizardmen present wanted to finish Tang Zheng off in one fell swoop.
"How frightening."
"Facing so many Lizardmen at once, no matter how confident I am, there will be openings I can't cover. Besides, I'm a magic-caster now."
Tang Zheng looked at the tide of Lizardmen surging toward him, then turned to the controlled Priest Lizardman beside him and said coldly, "Cast magic."
The Priest Lizardman raised its hands and aimed forward. "Wind Force Alteration!"
This was a second-tier, faith-based magic that could actively control the force of the wind, a spell primarily used for support.
A ball of airflow rapidly expanded between the Priest Lizardman's hands.
With a flick of his sleeve, Tang Zheng produced a potion, which he casually tossed into the ball of airflow.
The potion bottle shattered! A large amount of a powdered substance mixed into the ball of airflow.
Bang!
The Priest Lizardman pushed its hands forward. The ball of airflow instantly exploded, forming a fierce gale that surged ahead.
"Continue," Tang Zheng said, his face expressionless.
The Priest Lizardman repeated the process, casting the spell again and again, creating successive gales that carried the powder integrated into the wind even farther ahead.
This powder was something Tang Zheng had created using the few Gallows Spider poison sacs he had left, along with herbs from the Dragon Tooth Tribe that possessed paralyzing and mildly toxic properties.
It was a medicinal powder concocted using the Potion Master's [Potion Crafting] skill.
Its main effect was paralysis; the toxicity wasn't high, as Lizardmen possess a relatively high poison resistance.
A pungent gale swept over them!
Xiasiliu Xia Xia, who was charging at the very front, had a change in expression. He quickly shouted to the numerous Lizardman Warriors behind him, "Everyone, hold your breath!"
As the gale blew past them, the Lizardman Warriors at the forefront were prepared, but many of the Lizardmen in the rear failed to react in time.
After inhaling the pungent odor, their entire bodies began to feel numb.
For a moment, the Lizardman Warriors in the rear fell into chaos.
"A useless trick!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia lowered the hand covering his mouth and nose. Without needing any orders, Priest Lizardmen immediately began to cast magic, healing the paralyzed Lizardman Warriors.
Xiasiliu Xia Xia continued to lead the unaffected Lizardman Warriors, charging toward Tang Zheng.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Kyuku Zuzu, clad in the [White Dragon Bone Armor], had already clashed with the Flame Archangel.
Boom!
The powerful force of the Flame Sword's swing struck heavily against the White Dragon Bone Armor, sending a shower of sparks into the air.
Kyuku Zuzu took several steps back to steady himself. He hadn't sustained any damage from that blow. Grinning, he pounced forward again.
Relying on the protection of his armor, he forcibly tied down the Flame Archangel—
Swoosh—
Several vines swept in quickly from the rear.
"Plant Entanglement!"
"Plant Entanglement!"
"…!"
The Flame Archangel had no time to dodge and was entangled by the vines, held fast in place.
Bang!
Kyuku Zuzu leaped high into the air, slashing down with the sharp claws covered by the White Dragon Bone Armor, instantly destroying the Flame Archangel's wings.
"Leaving it... to you all," Kyuku Zuzu stammered. As his voice sounded, he was already moving, rushing toward Tang Zheng.
Facing the swarm of approaching Lizardmen, Tang Zheng glanced at the Flame Archangel, which had been restrained again in such a short time, and sighed softly. "As expected, relying on just the Flame Archangel is no longer effective against you now that you're prepared."
In his left hand, hidden within his sleeve, a brand new scroll appeared.
"If that's the case! Then let me show you my true power."
Xiasiliu Xia Xia and Kyuku Zuzu, leading a group of Lizardman Warriors, simultaneously halted their charge.
BOOM!
A dazzling holy light coalesced in the sky.
A brand-new angel, over three meters tall and more than twice the size of the Flame Archangel, appeared in everyone's vision.
A formless aura spread out, causing looks of panic to appear on the faces of all the Lizardmen.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Only Tang Zheng's unhurried voice broke the silence: "Fourth-Tier Angel Summoning: Tranquility Archon Angel!"
The Fourth-Tier [Angel Summoning], unlike the first three tiers, can summon two types of angels: one is the Monitoring Dominion Angel, which specializes in defense, and the other is the Tranquility Archon Angel, which specializes in attack.
The two are not vastly different in appearance, though the Tranquility Archon Angel appears more slender than the Monitoring Dominion Angel.
Furthermore, its weapons were not a shield and a mace, but a spear-like staff.
"Come to think of it, you must be the first enemies to see me use this magic." A smile touched Tang Zheng's lips as he looked at the stiff-faced Lizardmen.
He was telling the truth.
Previously, when his strength was lower, he naturally preferred to use the defense-oriented Monitoring Dominion Angel. If not for the current situation, which the Flame Archangel alone could not resolve, he would not have used this magic.
The Priest Lizardmen in the rear, who had been relatively composed, now had their expressions completely replaced with terror.
"What is fourth-tier magic? It looks so powerful," a soft mutter came from one of the Lizardman Warriors.
Unfortunately, no Lizardman would answer this question.
Most Lizardmen knew very little about magic, and those who truly understood it would certainly not speak up under these circumstances.
Behind her straw mask, Crusch Lulu's already pale face grew even whiter.
"Fourth-tier magic..."
"How could this be? Why would such a powerful Human..."
Crusch Lulu muttered to herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"So that's it!!"
A loud roar shattered the strange atmosphere.
"Is this your real trump card? It's even more powerful than I imagined!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia took a deep breath.
His and his brother's guess was correct after all.
This Human dared to act so fearlessly because he surely possessed some kind of trump card. They just never expected him to be a fourth-tier magic-caster.
This was the worst possible news!
He had always been worried about this, even going so far as to ask the old chief priest of the tribe.
According to the old chief priest's answer, facing a fourth-tier magic-caster, fleeing was the best option. This wasn't cowardice, but a wise decision.
Because only a fool would challenge them.
But—
"We no longer have a choice!"
Xiasiliu Xia Xia lifted his heavy longsword and slammed it hard onto the ground, a sound that seemed to strike the hearts of all the Lizardmen.
"Fear is meaningless! If we don't kill this Human, we will be killed! This isn't a question of fleeing or not."
"This is war!"
His rousing voice echoed through the air.
The fearful expressions on the Lizardmen began to disappear. In particular, the fear in the eyes of the Priest Lizardmen was gradually replaced by a savage ferocity.
"Ooooh!"
"Ooooh!!"
"Ooh, kill!!"
All the Lizardmen let out furious roars.
"Restrain that little angel! We absolutely cannot let it escape! This Human can only summon two. We can't let him summon a second, even stronger angel!" a Priest Lizardman roared like a madman.
"What an inspiring speech," Tang Zheng said. He suddenly glanced up at the sky, his brow furrowing slightly.
Was it his imagination?
He thought he had just felt a fluctuation of magic power in the sky.
"Divine Laser!" The Tranquility Archon Angel swung its spear-like staff, and a laser-like beam shot from its tip.
BOOM!
The laser-like beam slammed into the spot where that priest was, blasting him to smithereens and even piercing through five Lizardman Warriors along its path.
Swish!
The two pairs of wings on the Tranquility Archon Angel's back—one large, one small—vibrated, and it appeared before Xiasiliu Xia Xia as if it had teleported.
Strike Against Evil!
Its spear-like staff swung down heavily.
Xiasiliu Xia Xia's pupils contracted. He hastily raised his heavy longsword to block.
"Lower-Tier Arm Strength Enhancement," Crusch Lulu quickly cast.
BOOM!
With a thunderous roar, Xiasiliu Xia Xia was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing heavily into a group of Lizardman Warriors and causing a chain of miserable cries.
"Divine Laser!" The Tranquility Archon Angel raised its spear-like staff again, and a laser-like beam swept out.
The bodies of seven or eight Lizardman Warriors in front of it were easily pierced and blown apart!
