chapter 173 part 2
He hastily and continuously poured magic power into the Magic Shield, barely managing to withstand the sustained destruction of the Storm Knight's Lance!
"Torrent Knight's Lance."
Another chant rang out.
The Gray-robed Mage's face fell completely. He was currently pouring magic power into the "Magic Shield" and was completely unable to cast magic.
*BOOM—*
A stream of aqua-blue light flashed through the air.
The Magic Shield shattered!
The Gray-robed Mage spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the "Torrent Knight's Lance" crashing into his body.
His gray mage robe trembled, and an invisible Magic Barrier instantly deployed from it, blocking the Torrent Knight's Lance.
"What in the world is this!" The Gray-robed Mage, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, staggered back several steps, his face full of astonishment.
"Is the attack power of the water element a bit weaker?" a faint voice sounded from the opposite side.
The one who spoke was, naturally, Tang Zheng.
Through the "Mad Mage" Passive "Elemental Conversion," he could convert attribute-based magic into the four main attributes: wind, fire, water, and earth.
The "Silver Knight's Lance" was an attack with silver-attribute magic power.
Tang Zheng remembered that among the "Ten Evils of the Demi-Humans" in the Abelion Hills region, there was a Demonkin Queen who, using the "Silver Knight's Lance" magic, had developed Knight's Lance spells of three attributes—Thunderstorm, Ice Burial, and Flame Incineration—and was called "Ice Flame Thunder" by the other demi-humans.
Now that he could convert four attributes, should he be called "Wind Fire Water Earth"?
A wicked thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
This Passive could only convert elemental-type magic. He had just secretly tested it on the summoned angel and found that it had no effect.
Thinking it over, it made sense.
The key to a summoned angel was the "angel" itself. As for the sacred Attribute the angel possessed, it was merely a supplementary Ability.
However, this Passive should be usable on elemental summoning magic, and he happened to have mastered the "Summon Mixed Wetland Elementals" magic.
Next up—
The brief thought flashed through his mind. Looking at the dazed Gray-robed Mage opposite him, Tang Zheng's gaze was icy as he once again chanted in a low voice, "Earth Blast Knight's Lance!"
*Whoosh!*
A knight's lance formed entirely from condensed rock appeared, stirring up an airwave as it blasted toward the Gray-robed Mage.
"Damn it!"
"Silver Knight's Lance!" Seeing that Tang Zheng wasn't giving him any time to breathe, the Gray-robed Mage, with cold sweat trickling down his forehead, hurriedly followed up by casting the most powerful attack magic he had.
What he excelled at dealing with was summoning-type magic!
Whether it was Quinn Esai, who had the "Magic Beast Summoner" Job, or Tang Zheng, who had initially displayed an angel-summoning ability, he was confident he could defeat them.
But Tang Zheng's sudden change in combat style, using powerful mana-based attacks, had put him at a direct disadvantage.
*BOOM!*
The Earth Blast Knight's Lance and the Silver Knight's Lance slammed into each other, triggering a powerful shockwave that spread out in all directions.
The surrounding dense trees had their branches snapped by the shockwave, and a large amount of fallen leaves flew about.
The two knight's lances, both Fourth-Tier magic, seemed to be of similar power. After the violent collision, the Silver Knight's Lance began to dissipate.
The Earth Blast Knight's Lance, however, was covered in dense cracks before it shattered, turning into a shower of small, broken stones that blasted toward the Gray-robed Mage.
The sudden turn of events caught the Gray-robed Mage off guard. Fortunately, the magic robe on his body, which possessed defensive capabilities, blocked it again.
"Storm Knight's Lance!" Tang Zheng's faint voice sounded again.
*Swoosh!*
The translucent image of the lance vanished into the air and, in the instant the Gray-robed Mage couldn't react, pierced through his chest.
"Pfft!" The Gray-robed Mage coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his eyes wide.
*Thud—*
With a spray of dust, he fell backward onto the ground, his aquiline face filled with disbelief and a trace of bewilderment.
He had lost too quickly!
He clearly had many more spells he hadn't used, but facing this kind of pure attack magic bombardment...
"Why are there so many types of Knight's Lance magic..." The Gray-robed Mage felt no fear of death, only a face full of indignation.
*Step!*
The sound of footsteps approached.
Tang Zheng walked up to the Gray-robed Mage, whose chest had a gaping hole and whose aura was faint. He took out a bottle of Alchemical Potion and poured it directly onto the man's chest.
Immediately after!
Tang Zheng delivered a heavy kick to the Gray-robed Mage's neck, knocking him unconscious.
"That's one down."
Looking at the unconscious Gray-robed Mage, Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze.
He naturally wouldn't let the Gray-robed Mage die, as he had to guard against the possibility of him being revived directly with Resurrection Magic.
【Orb of Death: 280→120/280】
It took casting five relatively high Attack Strength Fourth-Tier Knight's Lance spells in a row to defeat the Gray-robed Mage.
His loss was well-deserved!
Tang Zheng had no intention of having a slow magic duel with him. He needed to finish him quickly and focus his energy on the other opponent.
If it weren't for the issue of Magic Power Cost and his desire to observe the power changes in the magic itself after Element Conversion...
He would have already cast the Fifth-Tier "Dragon Lightning."
Now then—
Tang Zheng turned around, his left hand hidden in his wide sleeve clutching the "Orb of Death," and looked toward Quinn Esai, who was being held up by the two Tranquility Dominion Angels.
No!
He wasn't being held up at all.
Quinn Esai had summoned another large aqua-blue lizard. He had the two aqua-blue lizards engage the Tranquility Dominion Angels while he observed the other side of the battlefield.
The key to fighting a magic caster was "Magic Power"!
Since Tang Zheng had chosen to fight the other magic caster, he naturally had no intention of interfering. Regardless of the outcome, it was only beneficial for him.
However.
Quinn Esai had never expected this battle to end so quickly.
To be precise, when Quinn Esai saw Tang Zheng cast the third elemental-type Knight's Lance magic attack, he already realized the Gray-robed Mage's defeat was certain.
Faced with this kind of pure magic bombardment, all of his opponent's strange tricks were useless!
Quinn Esai also realized why Tang Zheng had attacked the Gray-robed Mage first. It was because he wanted to end the fight quickly to focus his energy on dealing with him.
*Swish! Swish!*
The two Tranquility Dominion Angels suddenly beat their wings and began to retreat, returning to stand before Tang Zheng, who had already appeared in front of him.
The two large aqua-blue lizards also retreated, flanking Quinn Esai to his left and right.
*"Clap! Clap! Clap!"*
A smile appeared on Quinn Esai's gentle and composed face as he raised his hands and applauded, "A truly splendid battle."
"Storm Knight's Lance!"
Tang Zheng didn't waste any words, directly blasting a spell at him.
Quinn Esai raised his left hand, and a magic ring on his thumb flashed. "A magic attack of this level is useless against me."
"Attack Deviation."
*Boom!*
The incredibly fast Storm Knight's Lance suddenly deviated from its attack path in mid-air, flew over Quinn Esai's head, and crashed into the jungle behind him with a loud bang.
Tang Zheng's brow furrowed. Only then did he notice that his opponent's left hand was covered in Rings, which were clearly all magic Items.
As expected, he's a handful!
"Now then, how much magic power do you have left to use?"
"It looks like you're going to die here today."
After easily deflecting the magic Tang Zheng had just used to defeat the Gray-robed Mage, the gentle smile on Quinn Esai's face grew even brighter.
"No."
Tang Zheng looked up, staring at Quinn Esai. "I think the one who will die here is you!"
