Chapter 162: White Dragon Bone Armor, [Lion's Heart]
The blood mist dispersed!
In the blink of an eye, the corpses of more than a dozen lizardmen toppled to the ground, falling into the mud of the wetlands.
The sacred figure of the Dominion of Tranquility, suspended in mid-air, appeared like a demon in the eyes of every lizardman present.
A sense of panic spread among the lizardmen. The indescribable oppression caused many of the lizardman warriors present to reveal expressions of fear.
...
Fourth Tier · Dominion of Tranquility (Lv 28)
Abilities: Strike Against Evil, Defense Against Evil, Divine Laser, Mass Pacification.
...
After summoning the Dominion of Tranquility, Tang Zheng automatically learned of the abilities this angel possessed, which were quite similar to those of the Watcher Dominion.
Although considered an offensive-type angel, its abilities were still supportive in nature.
"Go."
Tang Zheng spoke with cold indifference.
*Whoosh!*
With a beat of its wings, the Dominion of Tranquility flew toward the bound Flame Archangel.
Since he had already made up his mind to reveal information that he could only summon two angels, he naturally would not summon a third under these circumstances.
"Stop it!"
Xiasiliu Xia Xia, who had just been sent flying by a single blow, coughed up blood as he climbed out from the crowd of lizardman warriors, roaring with a savage expression.
A single Dominion of Tranquility had caused their newly restored morale to plummet to rock bottom, even easily tearing through their defensive line.
If they allowed the enemy to summon a second one, let alone whether they could win, their morale would likely collapse completely.
"Leave it to us, Tribe Leader of the Green Claw!"
The lizardman priests, each wearing an expression of tragic heroism, began to cast magic to intercept it.
At the same time, the lizardman warriors armed with bows and arrows and other long-range weapons began to shift their aim toward the Dominion of Tranquility.
Crusch Lulu ran over quickly, and seeing Xiasiliu Xia Xia’s twisted arms hanging powerlessly at his sides, she hurriedly cast a spell:
"Moderate Injury Healing!"
"Moderate Injury Healing!"
A succession of white healing lights appeared, rapidly mending Xiasiliu Xia Xia's injuries.
The moment he regained feeling in his injured arms, Xiasiliu Xia Xia had already scrambled to his feet and picked up the heavy longsword that had fallen to the ground.
"Green Claw Tribe Leader, your injuries are still..." Crusch Lulu began, flustered.
"Now is not the time to wait for my injuries to fully heal! They can't hold out for long. We must deal with that human as quickly as possible!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia shouted loudly as he picked up his heavy longsword and charged out.
"I understand!" Crusch Lulu was also aware of the urgency of the moment. Ignoring the straw that constantly fell from her body, she followed closely behind him.
Meanwhile.
Kyuku Zuzu, clad in the [White Dragon Bone Armor], was already leading several dozen lizardman warriors in a charge toward Tang Zheng.
Kyuku Zuzu ran swiftly across the ground, his eyes bloodshot. "Letting your summon leave your side was the worst mistake you could have made, human!"
"Earth Bind!" the lizardman priest standing beside Tang Zheng chanted.
*Rumble~*
The ground squirmed like a swamp as a large amount of mud and sand surged forth, enveloping the legs of the charging lizardman warriors and Kyuku Zuzu.
"I don't think so," Tang Zheng said, turning to look at the bound lizardmen.
"Traitor! The ancestors will be ashamed of your actions!"
Seeing that the one attacking them was one of their own, Kyuku Zuzu’s stuttering problem vanished in his rage as he cursed loudly.
"Magic Arrow," Tang Zheng said, raising his left hand and aiming at the group of lizardmen.
Magic arrows shot forth!
One arrow struck Kyuku Zuzu, but it was blocked by the armor on his body, creating a faint blue ripple.
The other two, however, easily killed two lizardman warriors behind him.
The magical damage from a 158-point magic attack was not something the lizardmen, who only excelled in physical defense, could easily withstand.
"That armor has magical defense capabilities as well," Tang Zheng thought, his eyes glinting.
Furthermore, he had deliberately aimed for the gaps between the plates of the [White Dragon Bone Armor], yet the attack was still blocked by the armor's intrinsic defense. This was rather similar to the game.
"Magic Arrow!"
More magic arrows condensed again. This time, it wasn't three, but ten created at once.
Casting "Magic Arrow" normally only created three arrows. However, by continuously consuming mana on top of that, each additional point could create one more arrow, up to a total limit of ten.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
A dense whistling filled the air.
Ten magic arrows flew past Kyuku Zuzu, striking the lizardman warriors behind him.
Accompanied by a series of miserable screams, the dozen or so lizardman warriors were wiped out in a single volley.
"Damn you!"
Kyuku Zuzu's eyes were bloodshot. He brandished the double-headed short spear in his hands and slammed it forcefully onto the ground.
The heavy blow from the powerful force shattered the mud and sand wrapped around his legs.
"Die, human!" The moment Kyuku Zuzu broke free, he leaped into the air, jumping out of the range of Earth Bind. With a tumble, he was already in front of Tang Zheng.
*Whoosh!*
The double-headed short spear swung, its blade cutting through the air and creating a swirling current as it chopped down with great force.
"[Charm Species]."
Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, chanting calmly.
Kyuku Zuzu’s hands froze mid-motion, and he stood dazedly on the spot.
"Wh-what is going on? What happened?"
The nearby lizardman priest, freed from the spell, was suddenly jolted awake. Seeing the chaotic scene before him, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
*Slash—*
The double-headed short spear swung down. In the instant the lizardman priest was stunned, his chest was sliced open by Kyuku Zuzu.
Blood gushed out!
"Alright, your revenge has been exacted. Now, become my new companion," Tang Zheng said with a light laugh, controlling Kyuku Zuzu.
"So this was all your doing!"
Just then, a furious roar was heard.
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that Crusch Lulu and Xiasiliu Xia Xia had already charged over.
"[Lion's Heart]!"
Crusch Lulu cast a spell at Kyuku Zuzu.
The dazed look in Kyuku Zuzu's eyes faded, and he took a step back, panting heavily.
Dispelled?
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed.
[Lion's Heart] was a third-tier spell that could remove negative mental effects, similar to [Undying Spirit].
"Magic Arrow!"
Tang Zheng raised his arm, aiming at Crusch Lulu.
*Swoosh!*
The arrow shot out.
"Kyuku!"
Xiasiliu Xia Xia swiftly raised his heavy longsword to block in front of Crusch Lulu, shouting at the same time.
Xiasiliu Xia Xia's shout brought Kyuku Zuzu back to his senses. He quickly tightened his grip on his double-headed short spear and slashed at Tang Zheng again.
"Roar!"
A bone chain flew out and collided with the double-headed short spear in mid-air, creating a shower of sparks.
Kyuku Zuzu took a step back, his expression turning ugly as he looked at the ferocious-looking Evil Spirit Hound beside Tang Zheng.
"As I thought, it's not some useless pet!"
Kyuku Zuzu had, of course, noticed the Evil Spirit Hound's presence long ago. As his weapon was blocked, he twisted his body and swung his long tail. "[Tail Whip Strike]!"
"[Charm Species]," Tang Zheng's faint voice sounded once more.
Kyuku Zuzu's attacking motion paused again, and he stood frozen on the spot with a vacant expression.
"How can this be!"
Crusch Lulu cried out in astonishment.
"What's wrong?" Xiasiliu Xia Xia blocked the magic arrows with his heavy greatsword and took a breath.
After casting [Lion's Heart], it should have remained effective for a period, yet the opponent was able to cast a spell and control Kyuku Zuzu again.
This...
Crusch Lulu realized that the opponent's power was greater than hers, so he could forcibly break the sustained effect of her original spell.
To break the opponent's spell again, she would have to recast [Lion's Heart].
"Are you trying to compete in mana consumption, lizardman?" Tang Zheng looked at Crusch Lulu.
The red pupils hidden under Crusch Lulu's cloak trembled. She had already consumed far too much of her mana.
"Take off the armor."
While Crusch Lulu was in a daze, Tang Zheng had already issued a command.
Kyuku Zuzu, with a vacant gaze, unhesitatingly removed the [White Dragon Bone Armor] from his body.
"Don't!"
Crusch Lulu had just cried out.
"Magic Arrow."
*Splat!*
Kyuku Zuzu's head was pierced by three magic arrows, which brought out a spray of whitish-brown brain matter and a mist of blood.
The tribe leader of the Sharp Tail Tribe was dead!
"Pull yourselves together! We have no room for retreat!"
"Everyone, charge!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia spoke in a cold voice without looking back, gripping his iron sword with both hands.
"Ooh!"
"Ooooh!"
The surrounding lizardman warriors howled, a deathly resolve in all of their eyes.
"Awooo."
The Evil Spirit Hound roared, its four limbs moving as it engaged in combat with Xiasiliu Xia Xia, who was at the very front of the charge.
*Bang! Bang!*
The heavy iron sword and the bone chain continuously clashed, creating a series of dense sounds.
Facing the numerous lizardman warriors that were once again swarming toward him, a smile suddenly appeared on Tang Zheng's face. "It seems you're all out of chances."
