Chapter 257: Sand Domain: All, Fierce Battle
"Fire Resistance!"
A chant, tinged with fury, echoed from within the flame-scorched crater.
The raging holy flame, filled with searing heat, first dimmed before being dispersed by a surge of blue energy.
Evileye rose to her feet once more from the crater. A faint, dark-red light flickered on the red, hooded robe she wore, the 「First King's Long Coat」.
From her appearance alone, it was impossible to determine the extent of her injuries, as she was completely covered, save for a bit of dust on her clothes.
"Her aura has weakened, but it doesn't seem to have affected her much."
Tang Zheng stared in Evileye's direction, waving his arm to command the Purifying Power Angel in front to return, thinking to himself, "As an undead, she naturally has countermeasures for both fire and holy attributes. That red coat must also have some level of magical defense."
He wasn't worried about Evileye revealing her undead status; she wore a special magic ring to conceal it.
"You've angered me, black-hair!"
A cold shout, its tone belying her age, came from behind Evileye's mask, her voice now laced with rage.
However, behind the mask, her youthful face was, on the contrary, exceptionally calm. There was even a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Tang Zheng.
This black-haired youth before her was a genius worthy of attention, just like Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra.
Women have always hated having their age discussed.
Evileye was no different, but having lived for over two hundred years, she wouldn't be provoked by such a thing. Maintaining composure in combat was a crucial quality.
Mm-hmm!
She decided she would strike a little harder later.
"To think you could withstand an attack of that intensity, that's incredible. You must be the strongest member of Blue Rose."
Tang Zheng's hearty and solemn laughter resounded across the lawn. Under the radiance of the two angels, his white priest robe shone brightly.
"Then come, Miss Evileye, you are an opponent worthy of my full effort!"
He had previously canceled the summoning of the Fourth-Tier Tranquility Dominion Angel, but he had kept the Monitoring Dominion Angel active.
Screech!
A cry that tore through the air like a falcon's shriek echoed from above.
A holy light streaked across the sky. A half-meter-large falcon, composed entirely of holy energy and shining with white light, charged toward Evileye at an extraordinary speed.
「Holy Light Falcon」!
Evileye leaped out of the crater. The falcon was too fast, forcing her to quickly raise her arm and cast a defensive magic:
"「Crystal Wall」!"
A defense made of crystal materialized before her, colliding with the Holy Light Falcon.
Crack.
Tiny crystal fragments scattered. The force of the dive hammered a fist-sized dent into the sturdy crystal wall, and dense cracks spread across its surface.
The attack was blocked, but the resulting impact forced Evileye's body back uncontrollably.
"The holy flame from before and this impact have both damaged my body."
Evileye assessed her condition. She possessed a skill, 「Damage Transfer」, that could convert physical damage into magic power consumption. However, as a magic caster, expending extra magic power in a fight was not a good choice.
Besides, the damage to her body wasn't severe.
"My turn."
"「Dehydration」!" Evileye stared in Tang Zheng's direction and chanted in a low voice.
This was a fourth-tier magic, capable of inflicting immense and devastating damage to any creature containing water, especially water elemental types.
If it hit Tang Zheng, given a magic caster's physical durability, a single strike could end the battle.
This was the limit of a human. As an undead, she was completely unaffected by such magic.
Vwoom!
Tang Zheng, who had been on guard all along, immediately had one of the Monitoring Dominion Angels hovering above his head move to block for him.
The magic attack missed its mark, causing no ripples. Angel-type summoned monsters were also immune to this kind of specialized magic.
"Surprisingly cautious, but that last spell was just to create an opportunity."
Seeing the Monitoring Dominion Angel shield Tang Zheng, a brilliant smile appeared on Evileye's face behind her mask.
*Still too inexperienced, black-hair!*
"「Dimension Move」!"
In an instant, Evileye's figure vanished, reappearing behind Tang Zheng a moment later.
If the Monitoring Dominion Angel, which excelled at defense, had remained above Tang Zheng's head, it would have immediately moved to defend him.
But now!
Both the Monitoring Dominion Angel and the Purifying Power Angel were in front of Tang Zheng, leaving his entire back completely exposed.
Looking at Tang Zheng's defenseless back.
"Head-on clashes are just too crude."
The corner of Evileye's mouth curled up. "I've won."
She had always believed that magic casters who relied solely on pure attack magic were second-rate. Having mastered over a hundred different spells, she could handle most situations with ease.
However, in that split second.
「Sunlight」!
A dazzling, incandescent white light bloomed.
As an undead, she possessed the 「Night Vision」 ability and even had some visual enhancement effects, but she couldn't evade the brief blindness caused by 「Sunlight」.
This caused Evileye a moment's hesitation.
"「Holy Hammer」!"
"「Magic Shield」!"
BAM!
A massive impact resounded, and a shockwave rolled out as the piercing light faded.
Tang Zheng spun around and retreated, putting distance between himself and Evileye. The huge shadow of the Monitoring Dominion Angel was already upon her.
On the other side, the Purifying Power Angel simultaneously waved the holy banner in its hand. "「Rain of Fire」!"
"That was almost the end."
That had caught him off guard. It was a good thing Tang Zheng wasn't a true magic caster, or he never would have been able to react.
"It's not an issue of power, but a gap in combat experience."
Tang Zheng quickly realized this.
His previous opponents had always been crushed, so the gap in combat experience had never been apparent.
Crimson light rapidly materialized in mid-air, forming raindrop-like flames that rained down on Evileye.
*Such a quick reaction—no, did he anticipate this?*
Surprise flickered in Evileye's eyes, but she didn't hesitate, raising her hands forward. "「Magic Shield」!"
The reason she didn't use the stronger 「Crystal Wall」 was to conserve magic power, and also because 「Rain of Fire」 was an area-of-effect attack magic with relatively low power.
"Is he trying to force me back?"
The smile on Evileye's lips widened. "I'm not so easily dealt with!"
「Dimension Move」 was a spell used by a caster to create distance or escape, but she was no ordinary magic caster.
"「Resistance Weakening」!"
Evileye let out a low shout.
A dim white light suddenly appeared on the Purifying Power Angel, and its movement speed showed clear signs of slowing.
Swoosh!
The Monitoring Dominion Angel rushed over at that moment, raising the silver short hammer in its hand again.
"When fighting a summoning-type magic caster, you really should restrict these troublesome summoned creatures!"
Evileye was forced to leap backward, creating distance from the Monitoring Dominion Angel, as a powerful surge of magic power erupted from her body.
