"Cuiye, you two go and take care of all those fleeing mercenaries," Tang Zheng said peacefully, ignoring the assassin corpses on the ground.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The Green Leaf Witch spoke first, followed by the faint voice of the White Mist Witch emanating from her chest.
Swoosh—
The Twin Witches leaped, nimbly vanishing from the spot as they went after the fleeing group of mercenaries.
Tang Zheng's gaze returned to the Headhunter Rabbit, who was entangled with the Tranquility Dominion. The exchange of blows between them was exceptionally fierce.
"「Strike Against Evil」!"
"「Unyielding Fortress」!"
The spear-staff and palm collided, and both forces dissipated into nothing.
"「Flowing Water Acceleration」!"
The Headhunter Rabbit's speed increased a notch. After rapidly closing in on the Tranquility Dominion, he leaped up and threw heavy punches like a shower of rain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silver armor on the Tranquility Dominion vibrated continuously. With a flap of its wings, it ascended to create distance and once again swung its spear-staff.
"「Strike Against Evil」!"
"「Unyielding Fortress」!"
It was the same attack again.
But the Tranquility Dominion was clearly being suppressed; otherwise, it wouldn't have been completely tied down by the Headhunter Rabbit.
"I see. When a level advantage doesn't exist, the simple attack patterns of a summoned monster are easily figured out by an opponent of the same level."
Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully, a perfect curve forming on his lips. "What will you do now? All those assassins are dead."
"A summoned angel doesn't suffer from stamina drain or exhaustion."
The Headhunter Rabbit moved swiftly, periodically dodging the Tranquility Dominion's normal attacks. The thought of retreat had already appeared on his expressionless face.
He wasn't far from his target.
But the Headhunter Rabbit knew very well that while he could suppress the Tranquility Dominion, he couldn't break through the angel's defenses.
Both the Death Spreading Sword Corps and the assassins from Ijenia are a bunch of trash!
The Headhunter Rabbit cursed inwardly.
Task failed. Retreat!
"「Flowing Water Acceleration」!"
The Headhunter Rabbit's fierce exchange with the Tranquility Dominion paused. He instantly retreated to create distance, then turned to flee.
"Trying to leave now? It's too late." Tang Zheng's gaze turned cold.
Whoosh!
The Tranquility Dominion flapped its wings and gave chase. The advantage of flight was something ground movement could not compare to.
In a single breath!
The Tranquility Dominion was already hovering above the Headhunter Rabbit's head, its three-meter-tall shadow enveloping him. The spear-staff, glowing with a sacred light, swung down heavily once more.
Boom!
Faced with the attack from above.
The Headhunter Rabbit's ears twitched, and a ferocious sneer actually flashed across his expressionless face. His fleeing motion paused, and he raised both arms to protect his head.
"「Magic Resistance Enhancement」!"
A pale blue light flashed.
Bam!
The heavy blow smashed onto his raised arms, letting out a deep, muffled thud. Surprisingly, he hadn't used 「Unyielding Fortress」 to block this time.
Tang Zheng was a little surprised, but he quickly understood why the Headhunter Rabbit had done so.
"Pfft..."
The Headhunter Rabbit spat out a mouthful of blood, allowing the power of the spear-staff's blow to explode against him, sending his body flying uncontrollably.
However!
While taking the blow, the Headhunter Rabbit had clearly angled himself so that the direction he was sent flying was toward Tang Zheng's position.
He had never intended to escape!
Swoosh!
The Headhunter Rabbit's figure flew through the air. Despite having no leverage, he managed to forcibly twist his flexible body around.
It was only then that Tang Zheng noticed two magic armguards inside the sleeves of the man's torn maid outfit.
"Your Excellency Tang, Lord Osco asked me to tell you."
The Headhunter Rabbit flipped in the air, shedding most of the force before landing. He carved a deep scar in the ground as he stabilized himself and looked up at Tang Zheng, seven or eight meters away. He spoke, his voice brimming with killing intent:
"No one can take anything from his hands without paying a price!"
Bam!
"Activate!"
The Headhunter Rabbit fiercely pushed off the ground. A gleam of magic power flashed from the boots on his feet—a magic item that could increase his speed.
In an instant!
The Headhunter Rabbit became an afterimage, lunging toward Tang Zheng. At such speed and from such a distance, the Tranquility Dominion had no time to turn back.
"「Ability Boost」!"
"「Firm Strike」!"
"「Heavy Punch」!"
In an instant, the Headhunter Rabbit activated three Martial Skills simultaneously, raising a powerful fist and aiming it straight for Tang Zheng's throat.
It was possible to activate multiple 「Martial Skills」 at the same time, but due to the limits of each person's "Concentration Capacity," there was a ceiling to how many could be used at once.
For example, the Kingdom's strongest warrior, Gazef, could activate a maximum of six Martial Skills at once in his peak condition, without using the magic item known as the 「Dragon's Secret Treasure」.
As for Brain, his innate ability, "Increased Concentration Capacity," allowed him to activate even more Martial Skills.
As the punch flew, the air before it compressed, then exploded violently like a burst balloon, rushing ferociously forward.
Fwoosh!
A brilliant light appeared.
An angel holding a golden shield, also three meters tall but with an even more robust build, appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
Monitoring Dominion (Lv. 28)
Dong!
The powerful, calloused fist struck the golden shield heavily, producing visible ripples in the air and a hum like a struck temple bell.
"This is..."
When the Headhunter Rabbit saw the Monitoring Dominion blocking his path, its body emitting a faint white light, his heart sank to the abyss.
I've lost!
To think he still had a trump card like this in that situation.
It made sense. If his opponent could summon two Third-Tier angels simultaneously, he could probably summon two Fourth-Tier angels as well.
Still, it was too astonishing. Where on earth did such a powerful individual come from...?
