chapter 278 part 2
At this moment, on the gravel ground outside the castle, Lizardman Kuru Xue cautiously walked to the center of the familiar Magic Ascension Ritual.
This was a powerful Ritual passed down by their Lizardman Race from the legendary Lizardman hero; it was their race's trump card.
Now, seeing a human skillfully arrange and use it…
“Sigh.” Lizardman Kuru Xue sighed inwardly, a sense of melancholy and helplessness rising within her.
“Begin.”
“Yes!”
Lizardman Kuru Xue quickly suppressed her emotions and replied respectfully.
*Hwa!*
The Magic Ritual activated.
Tang Zheng stood within the magic circle, channeling the Magic Power from his body and infusing it into the array.
“Fourth-Tier Magic—Cloud Manipulation!”
Lizardman Kuru Xue raised her arms toward the sky. Her face, covered in fine white scales, was exceptionally serious as she cast the Magic according to the information recorded by the Priest Elder.
The magic circle began to glow. A wave of Magic Power, which felt immense to Lizardman Kuru Xue’s senses, was released from her body.
In an instant!
A large amount of Magic Power was siphoned from her body as if by a pump. In a single breath, Lizardman Kuru Xue felt the Magic Power in her body drain completely. A suffocating weakness washed over her chest, and her vision went black as if she were about to faint.
*Weng—*
The moment before she would have fainted from the Magic Power drain, a terrifying, torrent-like flow of Magic Power surged into her body through the magic circle.
“Ah—”
Lizardman Kuru Xue let out a subconscious moan, her long white tail perking up.
She had never felt such immense and domineering Power. The vast Magic Power flooded her body, rapidly replenishing the weakness from a moment ago.
It made Lizardman Kuru Xue feel as if she were enveloped by a force formed from immense Magic Power, and an unprecedented sense of security filled her heart.
Cloud Manipulation!
The Magic activated.
An invisible Power was released from Lizardman Kuru Xue’s arms, rushing into the dark clouds in the sky in the blink of an eye.
The cold, misty drizzle began to stop.
The dark clouds above the castle rippled and spread like waves. Gradually, the dark clouds in the gloomy sky parted, and the bright sunlight shone down through the opening.
The warm, bright sunlight shone down like a pillar of light, casting itself upon Tang Zheng and Lizardman Kuru Xue below. It then gradually expanded to envelop the entire castle before continuing to spread outward.
The Magic Power drain continued—!
Even with Tang Zheng infusing Magic Power into her, waves of weakness still washed over Lizardman Kuru Xue, causing her to stagger.
“Continue to expand the range,” Tang Zheng’s cold voice instructed.
“Yes!”
Lizardman Kuru Xue gritted her teeth and persisted.
As the Magic continued, the opening in the clouds grew larger and larger until it covered an area the size of a town, at which point it finally stopped, unable to expand any further.
“It seems this is the maximum range.”
Tang Zheng looked up at the sky. Above them, the sky was clear and cloudless, bathed in sunlight, while the surrounding area remained blanketed by dark clouds.
From any other perspective, it would be a truly astonishing sight.
“Weather Manipulation-type Magic. I thought it would be like normal Magic, but I didn't expect it to be the type that continuously consumes Magic Power.”
Tang Zheng stopped infusing Magic Power, and the Magic Ritual ceased along with him. The vibrating Magic Power dissipated completely, becoming calm.
Lizardman Kuru Xue’s body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. “Hah, hah~”
“You’ve worked hard.”
Tang Zheng glanced at the figure on the ground, spoke indifferently, and turned to walk back into the castle, his red mage robe swaying.
Lizardman Kuru Xue lifted her head slightly, her long-lashed eyes gazing forward as her red pupils reflected Tang Zheng’s back.
*Pat, pat!*
Her white tail unconsciously slapped against the ground, making a soft sound.
As he entered the castle, a thought crossed Tang Zheng’s mind, and he consumed one skill point.
【Skill Points: 65 → 64】
Having mastered the Fourth-Tier Magic, Cloud Manipulation, the next step was to use Magic Ascension to master the Sixth-Tier Magic, Climate Manipulation.
From the names of the spells alone, one could feel the difference between these two Weather Manipulation-type Magic spells. One could only control clouds. The other could manipulate the weather and meteorological phenomena over a large area.
Beyond these two Weather Manipulation-type spells, the next step up was the Super-Tier Magic, World Alteration.
It could completely alter the climate of an entire region, and its effects could even be persistent. It could also be used to eliminate special negative effects from certain terrains and create a climatic environment favorable to oneself.
Inside the castle, the White Mist Witch, who had been waiting for some time, saw Tang Zheng walk in and hurried forward with a broad smile, her eyes filled with adoration.
“As expected of Master! To think you can even change the weather, it’s simply amazing,” the White Mist Witch said excitedly.
Tang Zheng shook his head slightly, his gaze hardening. “Remember, the one who manipulated the dark clouds and changed the sky was Lizardman Kuru Xue, not me. Not now, and not ever.”
“Weather Manipulation-type Magic” was a form of Faith-based magical power.
The identity he was currently masquerading as was that of a powerful, mana-based spellcaster. Naturally, it was impossible for him to use Faith-based Power.
“Hee hee, understood,” the White Mist Witch said.
The plan was proceeding more smoothly than anticipated.
He hadn’t expected that Lizardman Kuru Xue would actually be able to use Cloud Manipulation through the Magic Ascension method. Reviving her had been a good move.
“Plan B is no longer necessary now,” Tang Zheng thought to himself before asking the White Mist Witch, “How are things on that end?”
The White Mist Witch spoke excitedly, “Master, you’re truly amazing. Over in the Holy Kingdom, some people have already taken the initiative to contact us in secret.”
