Chapter 242: The Intriguing Evileye, One of the Trump Cards Against the Great Tomb of Nazarick
Under the awed gazes of the surrounding crowd, the three members of Blue Rose left the throng of people and returned to their high-class inn.
A brief silence followed.
Tia, with her hands clasped behind her head, suddenly said, "His personality is a bit like the captain's."
Gagaran and Evileye both knew that the person Tia was talking about was the leader of Free Will.
Just as Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra didn't seem like a noble in their eyes, the personality displayed by that genius alchemist didn't seem like someone who could easily suppress that proud demi-human magic caster and make him apologize to ordinary people.
And yet, that was the reality.
With just a single word, "Apologize," that demi-human unhesitatingly bowed to two ordinary soldiers, without a shred of hesitation.
"Rather than obedience, 'fear' is a more fitting description. And being able to use magic to summon angels…"
Gagaran raised a hand to her chin, a thoughtful look on her blocky face. "Could he be from the Slane Theocracy? I really don't like the people from there."
Speaking of which, Gagaran looked over at Evileye and said cheerfully, "What do you think?"
"Hero," Evileye uttered from behind her mask.
The expressions on Gagaran's and Tia's faces froze.
"He may or may not have stepped into that Realm, but he is stronger than you two," Evileye's voice sounded again.
"Is that so? Does that mean he's not as good as you? Are you bragging?"
After a moment of surprise, Gagaran grinned and laughed at Evileye, a look of eagerness in her eyes. She asked curiously, "I didn't expect to run into someone like this right after coming back to the Royal Capital after so long. How does his Strength compare to the captain's?"
Evileye had no intention of speaking further.
"You asked a stupid question, you big oaf," Tia said flatly, a trace of seriousness on her expressionless face.
However, one could still make a guess. In a pure comparison of Strength, the alchemist was likely stronger. But if Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra were in her full gear, she would probably be able to win.
Of course, this was just a shallow speculation. After all, there was too little Information on that alchemist, and the outcome of a Combat was not merely a simple comparison of Strength.
At least, based on the current Information.
Even if Evileye didn't act, their Blue Rose was still much stronger than Free Will, simply because the other team had too few members.
Only two of them truly constituted a fighting force.
...
On the other side.
The noisy crowd on the periphery watched Tang Zheng walk toward them with Enri, their gazes filled with curiosity. Just as with Blue Rose, they proactively cleared a path.
Powerful adventurers enjoyed a high reputation no matter where they were, and the team Free Will was no exception.
To be precise, it was Tang Zheng's personal reputation as the "black-haired genius alchemist," along with the influence of the Bounty placed on him by the Empire, that had greatly increased the fame of the adventurer team, Free Will, in the Royal Capital.
It was just that compared to the members of Blue Rose who often appeared in public, Tang Zheng, the leader, was far more mysterious.
Tang Zheng met the scrutinizing gazes from the crowd with a slightly apologetic look on his face. He led Enri, whose eyes were red and who seemed at a loss, away through the parted crowd.
"Lord…" Enri's tender lips parted, her voice tinged with a sob.
Miss Cui Ye had been captured, and the Lord had to compensate for the damage to the street. She felt it would cost a lot of money; this was the Royal Capital, after all, and the materials would probably be more expensive.
Enri felt that all of this was her fault. If only she had taken out the magic item she was carrying from the start…
*Pat!*
A pair of gentle, large hands rested on Enri's tea-gold hair.
"You don't need to blame yourself. This isn't your fault."
Tang Zheng gently stroked Enri's head while speaking in a warm voice, "As for the trouble? It's just a small matter to me, and it should be for you too. Besides, we're not short on money."
The low, gentle voice entered her ears.
Enri looked at Tang Zheng's side profile, her eyes slightly dazed, and she nodded forcefully. "Mm."
Tang Zheng removed his hand from Enri's head, his gaze calm. Just as he had said, these things were indeed just a small matter to him.
The only thing that he had paid serious attention to just now was the inconspicuous Evileye, a member of Blue Rose, wrapped entirely in a red robe.
"An unexpected meeting."
A being who had survived for over two hundred years, who had lived through the era of the Thirteen Heroes, and whose level was around 51.
She was, for all intents and purposes, a legendary existence.
The title behind her name, "Evileye," was well-earned, as it meant "Nation-Destroyer." She indeed possessed the ability to destroy a country. Although Tang Zheng's current level was far inferior to hers, if he were to reveal his own strength, he wouldn't fear her. He was quite covetous of the various magic spells she possessed.
Evileye's value was immense!
Although it was somewhat inappropriate to describe a person this way, it was the only way to put it. Besides her external strength, Evileye also knew a lot of secret information, as well as the issue of the level cap.
This was also what Tang Zheng valued.
Due to the dual reasons of Wild Magic and her Innate Ability, Evileye had become a vampire. Her level cap had long since broken through the human restriction.
In other words, Evileye could continue to level up!
Speaking of which, this was related to a very ancient and powerful Dragon Lord.
250 years ago.
The country where Evileye lived was destroyed by the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord. She should have died along with it, but she survived because of her Innate Ability.
"Magic Storage and Replication"!
This was Evileye's Innate Ability. It could store any one magic spell she had witnessed or been subjected to, and then use it as a spell she had learned herself.
There were no restrictions on level or strength. Be it Wild Magic or Super-Tier Magic, it could be stored.
After casting, it needed to be stored again, so it could only be used once.
It was precisely because of this Innate Ability that Evileye had unexpectedly stored the Wild Magic spell "Soul Absorption." By absorbing the souls of those around her to survive, she had turned into a vampire.
It had to be said.
The gap between the upper and lower limits of the Innate Abilities unique to this world was ridiculously, even absurdly, large.
Whether it was Nfirea's "Use Any Item Without Restriction" or Evileye's "Magic Storage and Replication," they completely surpassed the strength of skills in YGGDRASIL.
"Soul Devouring Breath, huh."
When Tang Zheng thought of this Wild Magic, his heart not only trembled with fear but also burned with fervor.
Right now, he was not at all certain if the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord was still alive. If he was, he would definitely be one of the hidden trump cards to use against the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
The ultimate Wild Magic, "Soul Devouring Breath"!
It was an attack that could completely erase an opponent's soul, possessing an undefendable trait. It was said to have the same effect as the Account Erasing Gun, one of the Twenty World-Class Items.
Without the protection of a World-Class Item or an ability like "World Protection," anyone facing "Soul Devouring Breath" would be brought to their knees.
If the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord was still alive and the members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick were unprepared, then apart from the Bone King himself, who carried a World-Class Item, the Floor Guardians and other members would all die once when faced with "Soul Devouring Breath."
Unfortunately, the Bone King might possess a World-Class Item capable of resurrection, but Tang Zheng couldn't be sure if that item was an ordinary World-Class Item or one of the Twenty.
The entire Great Tomb of Nazarick controlled 11 World-Class Items, and the information that had been revealed was incomplete.
Of course, this was the most ideal scenario.
Tang Zheng returned from his thoughts and slowly took a breath. There was no need to think so much for now.
What he needed to consider at present, aside from "Ninjutsu: Immovable Vajra Shield," were the magic spells in Evileye's possession.
However, there was no rush for this matter.
His gaze swept across the crowd, landing on a few people at the very edge, behind everyone else.
A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face. Under the curious gazes of many, he strode over. "Long time no see, Captain Dosali, and everyone from the Stone Team."
In the crowd.
Seeing Tang Zheng's gaze on them and hearing him clearly call out their names, the members of the Stone Team exchanged glances, their faces showing a mixture of disbelief, shock, and other varied emotions.
