Chapter 288: The Otherworld's Malice Towards the Human Race, a Permanent Angel?
"Arrow Volley!"
"Flowing Water Acceleration!"
*Swoosh!*
*Bang!*
The attacks from Leinas and Imina collided again in mid-air, creating a dazzling spark that flashed in the night.
Imina's long legs pushed off the lawn, re-establishing the distance between her and Leinas.
"Stop! Stop!"
"I'm not fighting anymore." Imina took a few breaths, raising her hand to signal a halt.
Leinas held her spear in one hand, its tip pointed at the ground, and revealed a brilliant smile. "Ready to admit defeat? Half-Elf."
"Admit defeat?" Imina scoffed. "Unless it's a fight to the death, a battle like this won't be decided in a short amount of time."
Seeing the two about to start bickering again.
*Clap!*
Tang Zheng raised his hands and clapped them together forcefully. "Alright, you two, how are you adapting to your newly increased power?"
The impending argument between Leinas and Imina came to a halt. They both looked toward Tang Zheng, a hint of a smile flashing in their eyes.
"Master, I have fully adapted. With my current strength, if I were to fight Gazef again, I'm confident I could defeat him," Leinas said with some excitement, weighing the spear in her hand.
Imina was happy about her own increase in power, but at the same time, she winced. "A potion that can make people stronger... if word of this got out, no one would believe it."
She knew Tang Zheng was called a "Genius Alchemist" and possessed technology far beyond that of ordinary alchemists, but she could never have imagined he could develop such a potion.
"That's right, Master."
Leinas nodded and spoke seriously, "The potion has no more effect on us. Please don't waste any more of it on us."
As users of the "Dragon Blood Potion," Leinas and Imina could clearly feel the immense increase in their strength in a short time, so they knew how precious this potion was.
To describe it as merely "precious" was to belittle it.
This was practically a National Treasure!
A National Treasure sufficient to drive everyone, especially the strong, into a frenzy.
If the world were to learn of this, the name "Genius Alchemist Tang" would be remembered by all, just like the heroes of legend.
Leinas and Imina couldn't fathom it, as it was far beyond their cognition, but they were certain of one thing: the materials for this potion must be exceptionally precious.
The thought that Tang Zheng continued to use large amounts of the potion on them even after their strength had stopped increasing pained them both.
"Potions are meant to be used."
Tang Zheng shook his head nonchalantly, then asked, "Describe your current power to me."
The cost of the "Dragon Blood" was actually quite high.
To produce a complete batch, he needed to use the "Magic Crucible," a Sacred Treasure of the Lizardmen, to refine and purify the "Dragon Blood," then use the blood of the lizardman Crusch Lulu to neutralize it.
Although only Imina and the other three were currently using the "Dragon Blood Potion," half of the ancient Fire Dragon's "Dragon Blood" had already been consumed.
The remaining blood, when made into the potion, would likely only be enough for another three to four people.
Additionally.
Following this line of thought, Tang Zheng had also created the "Sun Angler Potion," which had the effect of "detoxification" and "adding a Fire Attribute to attacks."
This should be a relatively practical and powerful potion for the people of this Otherworld, but it wasn't particularly meaningful for Tang Zheng. After creating a batch to check its effects, he had simply tossed it into his item box.
Imina and Leinas began to describe the changes they experienced while drinking the "Dragon Blood Potion," as well as the situation after they gradually mastered the Life Strength that had appeared out of thin air.
Listening to their descriptions.
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, his understanding growing clearer.
Indeed, just as he had guessed, the Life Strength gained from the "Dragon Blood Potion" needed to be digested and absorbed by the user before it could be gradually converted into the power of a Class upgrade.
To step into the "Heroic Realm."
For Tang Zheng, he only needed to raise his Level by one, but for the people of this Otherworld, it likely required a kind of gradual accumulation and explosive release.
"In the end, it's still because the 'Dragon Blood Potion' isn't strong enough. The ancient Fire Dragon was only around Level 48. A potion refined from its blood will naturally have a limited increase in strength."
"If I were to use the blood of a True Dragon Lord like the Platinum Dragon Lord to make a potion, they could probably break through the Level '28' bottleneck with ease."
Tang Zheng thought silently to himself, then sighed helplessly.
The upper limit for a Human's level should be 42. Even if he really managed to raise the levels of Leinas and the others in the remaining two-plus years.
They still wouldn't reach the level of the Maid Squad, whose average level was around 50, let alone be comparable to the high-tier combat power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
"Compared to Demi-human Races and Heteromorphic Races, the gap for the Human Race isn't just a matter of levels," Tang Zheng thought with a headache.
He suddenly felt the malice this world held towards the Human Race.
In the game YGGDRASIL, whether they were Demi-human or Heteromorphic Races, as long as they reached the required Racial Level, they would obtain special skills on a racial level.
An ultimate "Ruler of Death" like the Bone King possessed the special ability to create four High-tier Undead, twelve Mid-tier Undead, or twenty Low-tier Undead per day.
This wasn't a big deal in the game.
It was merely a specialization in the Undead system, allowing one to summon more Undead at once. But in the reality of the Otherworld, this Special Skill had changed.
The Undead created by the Bone King's Special Skill could exist permanently!
They didn't just disappear after a set time like in the game or like the Undead summoned by the Tier Magic "Summon Undead."
This led to a problem Tang Zheng had to face.
Even without the vast resources of the Great Tomb to support him, given enough time, the Bone King could assemble an entire army of Undead.
"If only I could create Angels that could exist permanently, just like the Bone King," Tang Zheng took a shallow breath, steadying his emotions.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Leinas noticed Tang Zheng was distracted and spoke softly.
"It's nothing."
Tang Zheng returned to his senses and shook his head gently.
"Master, Renner has been researching information on the Holy Kingdom recently and says she has a new discovery."
Leinas stood up straight and spoke softly, "She asked this subordinate to tell you that she would like to meet with you."
"Heh."
Tang Zheng's gaze was calm. He could guess her true purpose was likely just to see him.
Otherwise, she could have simply told Leinas about her new discovery; he had told Renner long ago that Leinas was one of his own.
Huh?
Tang Zheng suddenly recalled something. His expression changed as he spoke to Leinas and Imina before him, "I have something to attend to. I'll leave things here in the Kingdom to you two."
The moment his voice fell!
Before Leinas and Imina could react, Tang Zheng's figure had already vanished.
Facing the empty wooden chair.
"He's always in such a hurry," Imina sighed and said faintly.
Leinas was silent, her pearl-white teeth showing as she suddenly smiled. "I don't know what Master is going to do, but I know that we still can't help him."
Imina crossed her slender arms over her chest, falling silent as well.
Even though their current strength placed them among the top-tier strong individuals in any country, and they would be Adamantite-rank adventurers, both Leinas and Imina always felt that the gap in power between them and Tang Zheng had never seemed to shrink.
Abelion Hills.
Castle.
The White Mist Witch was somewhat confused, standing respectfully before Tang Zheng. "Master."
"Do you remember the first time we met, when you used your special ability to blend into an Angel's body?"
Tang Zheng smiled as he looked at the White Mist Witch.
"I... I remember."
The White Mist Witch didn't know why her master would suddenly bring this up, and she spoke timidly in a small voice.
"Your 'Blend' ability not only allows you to blend into a living being's body, but you can even control them, correct?"
"Yes, Master. If I encounter someone with great power or an overly firm and strong will, it won't work."
