Chapter 259: Lakyus's Pressure, Tenth-tier? Nightly Rendezvous
Four magic skills, two of which were for magic enhancement, which goes without saying.
Tang Zheng had always felt that skills in YGGDRASIL like 'Maximize Magic' were somewhat similar to the 'Metamagic Feat' type of techniques in other games.
It fell into the category of techniques one might not always use, but could not afford to lack.
As for the remaining two magic spells, one was a large-area-of-effect control skill, the kind of crowd control magic Tang Zheng currently lacked the most.
The other, "Gravity Reversal," was only a fourth-tier spell, but it seemed like a rather practical skill, so Tang Zheng learned it as well.
As for the "Earth Crystal Specialization" type of magic used by Evileye, Tang Zheng did not learn it. He was not lacking in offensive magical abilities.
Moreover.
He did not have an elementalist class with a "Crystal Specialization." Even if he used skill points to learn it, it would only manifest as a normal magical ability in his hands and would not receive any enhancement.
"Evileye still held back. To have obtained these four magic spells from a battle of that caliber is not bad."
Tang Zheng walked to the window, gazing at the distant Royal Capital as it was gradually enveloped by dusk. A profound look flickered in his eyes, and then he gently shook his head.
Evileye's truly powerful techniques are skills like "Negative Energy Rampage." As an undead, she wouldn't lack dark-attribute attack magic.
This type of magic is extremely effective against angels, but Evileye never used it, most likely to conceal her identity.
She also didn't reveal other abilities like "Accelerate Magic Power Recovery."
At the same time!
Blue Rose Headquarters.
While Tang Zheng was feeling regretful about his limited gains, Lakyus and the others were also discussing him.
To be precise, they were discussing the sudden, astonishing battle.
Gagaran's muscular body leaned back on the sofa, her arms resting on its sides. She clenched her fists, making the thick lines of her muscles contract powerfully. "Now that really gets my blood pumping! A battle that powerful and exciting, I was itching to jump in myself."
"You muscle-bound woman, you'd just get sent flying in the first second," Evileye said flatly, sitting on a single brown sofa not far away.
"What do you mean, muscle-bound woman? I'm a delicate female warrior."
Gagaran retorted loudly with a pout.
Unfortunately, her brawny, muscular frame and the prominent veins on her neck proved that Gagaran was anything but "delicate."
"Still, your intuition is sharp. To think you saw that early on that we were no match." Despite her words, there wasn't a trace of fear in Gagaran's eyes. Instead, she seemed eager for a fight:
"It was my first time seeing a fifth-tier angel. That's completely the power of the Heroic Realm. But if it were just two fourth-tier angels, I could probably hold them off for a while."
Gagaran pulled back her left arm, opened her hand, and vigorously rubbed her chin. She recalled the battle in the Royal Capital and spoke softly:
"The angel monster's methods are relatively simple. It wouldn't be a problem to block them using martial skills. But I'd still lose because there's no way to get close. I'd just be worn down to death."
"Hmph."
Tia let out a flat hum. "Frontal combat has never been an assassin's strong suit."
"It probably wouldn't work. The monster beside him must be a measure to prevent assassination and sneak attacks."
Tina shook her head, pondering seriously. "A monster's sense of smell, hearing, and perception are far stronger than a human's. And the size of that evil spirit hound means it's not an ordinary one; it would only be stronger in that regard."
"My apologies, Tia, Tina. I couldn't retrieve your assassination equipment," Evileye suddenly said, her tone a little embarrassed.
"It's fine."
"It doesn't matter now. He's so powerful, it's not shameful for our assassination equipment to have fallen into his hands."
Tia and Tina, on the contrary, didn't seem to mind, being quite philosophical about it.
"Given his power."
Evileye said, then looked at the silent Lakyus. "Among us, the only ones who could fight him independently, besides me, would be you, Captain."
"Ah."
Lakyus looked up, a bitter smile in her beautiful, jade-green eyes. "You'll make me blush. In reality, I don't think I'm a match for that Lord Tang."
Evileye shook her head.
"No."
"The black-haired man hasn't stepped into the Heroic Realm... Hmm, that's not entirely accurate."
"In terms of his ability as a faith-type caster, he indeed has not reached that realm."
Evileye pondered for a moment before speaking seriously.
The fourth tier corresponds to levels 22-28. The people of this otherworld cannot accurately determine levels like Players can, but they can make a rough estimate.
Evileye couldn't ascertain Tang Zheng's skill in alchemy, so she wasn't certain if he had truly stepped into the Heroic Realm.
As soon as she said this.
Lakyus and the others showed obvious looks of confusion and surprise.
"I know what you're thinking. The black-haired man was able to summon a fifth-tier angel because he used a special magic-enhancing ability like 'Magic Ascension'."
Evileye met their gazes and spoke in an unhurried tone, "It's a type of enhancement that can forcibly raise one's own spellcasting level by one tier, a technique similar to 'Maximize Magic.'"
"It's an exceedingly rare ability, which is why I'm certain the black-haired man's faith-type level hasn't reached the Heroic Realm."
Gagaran and the others revealed looks of dawning realization and shock.
"As a woman who serves a god, how can I give up so easily."
Lakyus muttered almost inaudibly. A flicker of flames flashed in her jade-green eyes, and she suddenly raised her arm to pump herself up:
"I won't give up so easily! In one year, I will step into the Heroic Realm!"
As a true genius, Lakyus had never felt pressure like this before, especially since Tang Zheng looked to be around her age.
All this time.
Although she had never been conceited about her talent, she possessed the pride of a genius and a strong individual. Or perhaps, deep down, she had unknowingly grown complacent.
Senior Rigrit arranging for Evileye to join the Blue Rose she had formed was perhaps a way to remind her not to slack off.
But!
Lakyus had never felt such real pressure as she did today.
*I will not lose—Lord Tang!*
Faced with a suddenly fired-up Lakyus, Gagaran and the others exchanged glances. Although they weren't sure why she had suddenly become so passionate, they were happy for their captain.
They believed that with Lakyus's talent, she could indeed achieve it.
Behind her mask, a faint smile also appeared on Evileye's youthful face.
"Wait a minute!"
Tia stared at Evileye. "According to what you said, if that guy raised his faith-type spellcasting ability to the Heroic Realm, would he be able to forcibly summon a sixth-tier angel?"
"What I mean is, do sixth-tier angels even exist?"
"Of course. Magic has ten tiers."
Evileye nodded very naturally. "But don't worry, the magic power cost of 'Magic Ascension' is enormous. The higher the tier of magic used, the greater the consumption of magic power. It's something that has to be kept as a trump card..."
Evileye hadn't even finished speaking.
"Wait!"
"Hold on!"
"Stop!"
A series of voices rang out at the same time.
Evileye looked doubtfully at the others, who were all staring intently at her. "Is there a problem?"
