Chapter 256: The End? How Can That Be! The Fifth Tier Angel Descends
*Boom!*
The roars from the clash of magic cast by the two figures at the center of the lawn continuously formed airwaves, spreading out in all directions.
The aftershocks of Evileye's magic, along with the massive three-meter-tall angel, crashed down from the sky, forming pits of varying sizes.
The entire beautiful lawn was utterly ruined.
The group of soldiers in full body armor, who were surrounding the area to prevent others from approaching, were already dumbfounded, some even feeling their legs go weak.
As mere soldiers around level six or seven, they faced a power of Lv 28, a force approaching the Heroic Realm.
An indescribable sense of powerlessness, along with the shock of witnessing a strong one, rose from the depths of their hearts.
If not for the fact that they were all elites, they would have likely collapsed to the ground in fear long ago.
"Boss," Gagaran looked at Lakyus and whispered, a hint of worry in her eyes.
She wasn't worried about Evileye, but rather that the other party wouldn't be able to hold back. Among everyone present, only Lakyus could forcibly stop this battle.
First Prince Barbro and Second Prince Zanac had long lost their earlier composure, their faces turning somewhat pale.
They were not unworldly men, and it was precisely because of this that they understood the power of the two on the lawn.
If one were to calculate in terms of military strength, a force of one hundred men—no!—even a thousand men could not take down either one of them.
"Gazef, if you were in the middle of that, would you have a way?"
First Prince Barbro steadied his nerves.
Gazef took a breath, not boasting or exaggerating, "Against only one of those angels, I would have some confidence, but against two, I would lose. As for Miss Evileye, she can use flight magic, so I would be helpless."
"If I had a chance at close combat, victory might be possible."
"Leinas?" Second Prince Zanac directly bypassed Renner, who stood to the side with her head lowered as if in fear, and asked.
"The same," Leinas's reply was brief.
These two answers made the two princes' complexions improve considerably.
Because they both knew that Gazef had the right to use the National Treasures. Gazef himself had once said that after equipping the National Treasures, he could easily kill his former self.
In the field.
"Crystal Knight's Spear!"
"Holy Hammer!"
Under the sun, a dazzling crystal spear pierced the air, striking swiftly like a bolt of translucent lightning.
The Monitoring Dominion Angel above Tang Zheng's head gripped the silver short hammer in its hand, which radiated a faint white light, and swung it forward forcefully.
*Bang!*
A piercing explosive sound erupted.
The crystal spear shattered into sharp, fine crystal fragments that scattered in the air, while the silver short hammer was sent flying.
However!
The silver short hammer that flew from the Monitoring Dominion Angel's hand dissipated into light sparks after a short distance, only to reappear in the Monitoring Dominion Angel's grasp.
"Major Wound Healing!" Tang Zheng immediately followed up, casting magic that enveloped the Tranquility Dominion Angel not far away.
A gentle light turned into light sparks and blended into the angel's body.
The pitted silver armor on the Tranquility Dominion Angel's body, along with its cracked sections, were quickly repaired.
Healing magic could not only be used on living creatures but also on angel-type monsters, and the effect was even better.
"Tch!"
Evileye, hovering in mid-air, clicked her tongue at the sight.
*A specialized ability completely focused on summoning?*
From the beginning of the battle until now, she had noticed that Tang Zheng had used almost no offensive faith-based magic. However, based on the situation he had demonstrated, he didn't really need to.
Summoning two angels simultaneously—one for defense and one for offense—while also being able to heal with magic to sustain a prolonged battle.
It would be nearly impossible for someone of the same level to defeat him.
*He's aiming for a battle of attrition... or rather, he's a type who excels at it. And those mana-based alchemical means... it seems he has indeed stepped into the Heroic Realm, just as I expected.*
*He should still have more up his sleeve, but there's no need to probe any further. It's about time to end this.*
This thought flashed through Evileye's mind. She never intended to use her full strength in the first place. She had a feeling that he was more than he seemed, so she just wanted to test the waters.
The result was that he was indeed stronger than she had anticipated.
Before this, she had never heard any rumors about him. Judging by his age, he should be around the same as Lakyus. Was he another genius?
On the heavily damaged lawn below.
Tang Zheng quickly noticed that Evileye's magical attack frequency was slowing down.
Especially since, from the beginning until now, all the magic Evileye had cast was of the third and fourth tier. This indicated she had no real intention of fighting seriously.
*Is she preparing to end it?*
*How can that be!*
His objective had not yet been achieved. Although the power he had displayed was great, it wasn't enough to suppress Renner's schemes.
In addition.
With Leinas always by her side, he also needed to display greater strength than he had back in the Empire.
With the "Knight's Oath" in place, it wasn't that he suspected Leinas of betrayal, but he was worried she might misjudge his strength and thus be unwittingly schemed against by Renner.
Beyond that.
Tang Zheng had yet to obtain a single skill he truly wanted from Evileye.
For example, the insect-slaying magic that Evileye developed herself.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick had quite a few insectoid members: the Guardian of the Fifth Floor, Cocytus; Entoma; the "Five Worst's" Lord of Terror; the Voracious Solitary Insect; and a series of other insectoid monsters and mercenaries.
The "Insect-Slaying" magic was a unique form of magic in this world, not included in the Great Tomb's information, although it was only at the fifth tier.
But with magic enhancement, she possessed an ability called "Magic Tier Escalation," which could directly raise a low-tier magic to the tenth tier.
The damage this would inflict upon the insectoid Guardian members would be absolutely immense and on the level of an instakill.
Unfortunately.
Evileye wouldn't use this magic against him. She had also mastered two other types of magic enhancement: "Magic Resistance Penetration" and "Magic Maximization." Especially "Magic Maximization"; without that skill, one could hardly call themselves a magic caster.
*Swoosh!*
Evileye's figure retreated backward, once again putting distance between herself and Tang Zheng, and her magical attacks ceased as well.
"That's enou—"
Evileye's unique, ageless tone came from behind the white mask.
Before she could finish!
Tang Zheng had already spoken first, "How impressive, Miss Evileye."
"You are the strongest magic caster I have ever seen. I underestimated the Blue Rose."
His loud praise rang out from the lawn.
It made Evileye, who was in the air and about to call a stop to the fight, pause. A smile involuntarily appeared on her cheeks behind the mask.
Being praised was, after all, a happy occasion.
The other party was also a powerful magic caster, and because of her, it seemed he held the Blue Rose in much higher regard.
This made Evileye even more pleased and happy.
