Triggering a High-Tier Job Class. Frogman? Mysterious Figure!
A bizarre scene.
It made Tang Zheng's pupils contract slightly. What on earth was this demi-human, or perhaps, it was simply a heteromorphic race.
"Yaaah—"
The head shrouded in white mist let out a piercing sonic scream.
Visible layers of sound waves spread out.
The Flame Archangel that had been charging forward was directly knocked back.
"Human, leave this place, and I can overlook your invasion of my territory."
The Twin Witches' entire body trembled, and the tree leaves wrapped around it rustled. Its bright yellow eyes looked at Tang Zheng with apprehension.
However, deep within its eyes, there was a hint of disappointment.
This person had been able to destroy the five great Lizardmen Tribes, so their power must be immense, but...
Whoosh!
The misty head emerging from the other's chest continued to push outward. Then, an entire figure emerged from the body of the Twin Witches and fell prone on the ground.
"Your voice is too grating, sister." The figure shrouded in white mist stood up from the ground, its voice carrying a sense of weakness as it spoke in a low, hoarse tone.
At this moment!
Two figures now stood before Tang Zheng. One was wrapped in dense tree leaves, the other shrouded in dense fog.
"So this is your true form, the real Twin Witches." Tang Zheng looked at the two figures, a flash of surprise on his face, before speaking calmly:
"Leave? That's not impossible. Just hand over the Lizardmen's sacred treasure."
"So you were drawn here by that thing, the magic crucible," the Dense Fog Witch let out a hoarse, cold laugh, her yellow eyes filled with resentment as she glared at Tang Zheng.
"Die, human!"
A piercing roar echoed.
The Dense Fog Witch leaped, pouncing towards the Flame Archangel positioned between them. Her fog-shrouded body moved with exceptional lightness.
"Magic Armor." The Green Leaf Witch waved a mass of green light that enveloped the Dense Fog Witch.
The Flame Archangel swung its flame sword, slashing at the Dense Fog Witch, but the blow was blocked by the magic armor that flashed across her body.
Just as the Flame Archangel was about to swing its magic sword again, the Dense Fog Witch, instead of retreating, continued to pounce forward.
In the blink of an eye!
The Dense Fog Witch crashed into the Flame Archangel's bright silver armor.
However.
The expected collision didn't happen. In an unbelievable fashion, the Dense Fog Witch actually phased into the Flame Archangel's body.
The next moment.
The Flame Archangel's attack halted. It spun around and charged towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng glanced at his stat panel, which showed no notifications, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He grew increasingly curious about the Twin Witches' race. Judging by the power they'd displayed, their level was indeed not high, but their various abilities were exceptionally strange.
Whoosh!
The Flame Archangel beside Tang Zheng beat its wings and immediately flew up to intercept, colliding with the controlled one.
"Weakness!" The Green Leaf Witch's hand emitted a glow of magic power, aimed at the Flame Archangel.
The Flame Archangel fighting the Dense Fog Witch suddenly slowed down significantly. After only a few swings, it was shattered by the Flame Archangel controlled by the Dense Fog Witch, dissolving into sparks of light and vanishing.
The Dense Fog Witch continued to control the Flame Archangel, charging forward.
"An ability like this is certainly interesting, but if these are your only tricks, then let's bring this tedious combat to an end."
Tang Zheng taunted, and his sleeve shook.
A dazzling white light bloomed in the forest.
A massive, three-meter-tall figure materialized. A Monitoring Dominion Angel, with a shield on its left arm and a short hammer in its right hand, appeared above Tang Zheng's head.
"Holy Strike!"
The Monitoring Dominion Angel abruptly raised its short hammer. Its figure flashed, and it was already in front of the controlled Flame Archangel.
An invisible pressure surged forth.
It caused the controlled Flame Archangel's movements to stiffen, and even the Green Leaf Witch in the rear showed a look of terror on her face.
"Weakness!"
"Enlarge!"
Two voices rang out at the same time.
The Green Leaf Witch's magical attack landed on the Monitoring Dominion Angel, slowing the swing of its hammer slightly.
Meanwhile, the Flame Archangel under the Dense Fog Witch's control began to swell and grow larger.
BOOM!
The short hammer and the flame sword collided with a deafening bang. A powerful shockwave spread out, shaking all the leaves from the surrounding trees and even blasting away some of the distant fog.
The Flame Archangel lasted only for a moment before being blasted apart in a single strike, dissolving into white sparks of light and vanishing.
The Dense Fog Witch was also blasted out from the dissipating sparks, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The dense fog coiled around her body dissipated along with the impact.
A demi-human with pale skin, a gaunt and slender body, and a somewhat ferocious face appeared before Tang Zheng. She looked somewhat like a human, but had pointed ears.
At a glance.
Her appearance was somewhat similar to the Demon Snake Naga, but her lower body wasn't a snake's, but rather human-like legs.
Seeing her form, the image of a banshee flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, but he quickly realized she was different from the banshees of legend.
『Discovered Job Skill "Enlarge". Requires Basic Caster Class "Witch". Current conditions not met...』
『"Genius" Job activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?』
A message appeared on his stat panel.
Witch?
Tang Zheng remembered that among the caster classes he had mastered, there was "Wizard," and now a "Witch" had appeared.
Notably, the Witch's job skill, "Enlarge," was the direct opposite of the Wizard's job skill, "Shrink Spell."
The Wizard was a mental-type caster class, so this Witch before him should also be a mental-type caster.
This thought flashed through his mind.
"Learn."
As he mastered the skill, Tang Zheng was just about to continue pressuring the Twin Witches to find out the location of the Lizardmen's magic crucible.
Suddenly.
Tang Zheng felt the magic power within his body grow restless. A somewhat astonishing power seemed to be brewing inside him.
The next moment!
The stat panel trembled.
Omm—
『High-Tier Job Class acquisition conditions triggered!』
『Magic-type Caster Level 15 Lv met, Faith-type Caster Level 15 Lv met, Mental-type Caster Level 15 Lv met, Other-type Caster Level 15 Lv met』
『All four caster systems have reached Level 15 Lv, triggering the High-Tier Job Class—Mad Mage!』
『Do you wish to accept this job class?』
The sudden appearance of the conditions for a high-tier job class made Tang Zheng pause in surprise. He had never imagined that a high-tier job class would become available under these circumstances!
While Tang Zheng was stunned.
"Ahhh!!"
A miserable, pained scream came from ahead.
The Dense Fog Witch who had been sent flying was spitting blood, curled up and clutching her stomach as she let out agonized roars.
"Sister!" The Green Leaf Witch quickly bent down, looking anxiously at the Dense Fog Witch.
Then, in a panic, she pulled a potion in a low-quality, translucent glass bottle from her pocket and poured it into the Dense Fog Witch's mouth.
Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised to see her struggling in such pain.
The attack from the Monitoring Dominion Angel just now would certainly have injured the Dense Fog Witch, but it shouldn't have caused this kind of scream.
A scream like this was more like...
Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and an expression of utter disbelief crossed his face.
He watched as her previously flat stomach began to swell rapidly, causing the Dense Fog Witch to let out another shrill scream.
If that were all, it would have been one thing.
A flash of green appeared inside the Dense Fog Witch's pale belly. A moment later, her stomach was stretched open, and a Frogman covered in translucent fluid crawled out.
It wobbled to its feet, its fist-sized, unsettling eyes holding a dazed look.
Seeing this scene before him,
Tang Zheng strongly suspected he was hallucinating. A Frogman had just been born from the body of another race?
The problem was.
Due to the characteristics of their race, shouldn't Frogmen start as tadpoles and slowly grow into their adult form? It was precisely because of this unique growth.
Therefore, Frogmen lacked the concepts of social hierarchy, familial bonds, and so on, that normal races possessed.
Wait!
Frogman?
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, his expression instantly becoming wary.
He suddenly recalled the cave lizardman's words, "You can't kill the Frogman." That, combined with the Twin Witches' act of deliberately using the cave lizardman to provoke him, was all extremely strange.
Especially this situation right here!
Could it be—
A thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. The Monitoring Dominion Angel floating mid-air immediately retreated to his side, and at the same time, he crushed a third-tier magic scroll.
Bang!
A white light flickered.
A Flame Archangel appeared and immediately charged to kill the Frogman.
However.
The Flame Archangel had only flown halfway, before it could even get close to the Frogman, when a blue lightning ball shot out from the Depths of the distant Dense Forest.
It instantly slammed into the Flame Archangel's body.
Bang!
The Flame Archangel was shattered by the single magic attack, dissolving into sparks of light.
"You people from the Slane Theocracy are as detestable as ever."
A cold, loathing voice drifted out from the Depths of the Dense Forest:
"Surprising, isn't it? This is a magnificent work of art. You should feel honored to personally witness the birth of a new life."
