chapter 298 part 2
"Dragon Lightning!"
"Don't think you're the only one who knows this magic! Dragon Lightning!"
Two bolts of surging lightning collided in mid-air. A brilliant white light illuminated the sky, emitting an astonishing screech. The terrifying magical collision created an invisible shockwave that spread out once more.
After a brief stalemate!
The "Dragon Lightning" unleashed by Tang Zheng, with unstoppable might, forcefully broke through the "Dragon Lightning" cast by the Alliance Leader.
"How can this be?" For the first time since appearing, the Alliance Leader's voice was filled with astonishment.
With his caster level, he had actually lost in a magical confrontation!
"Lightning Attribute Defense!" The Alliance Leader raised the bizarre staff in his hand and forcefully tapped it on the ground.
A faint blue light of magic power covered his entire body.
Although Tang Zheng's "Dragon Lightning" had broken through his own, its power was still significantly weakened and was ultimately blocked by the Alliance Leader's defense.
"Could it be that he specializes in lightning-attribute enhancement?" the Alliance Leader theorized internally. The pale eyeballs concealed by the black mist grew even colder.
It seemed that unless he displayed strength greater than his opponent's, it would be impossible to subdue him. A powerhouse of this level was indeed a proud and arrogant individual.
With his strength, he could single-handedly destroy a large city or a small country. No wonder he was able to cause such a commotion in the Hills.
Not far away.
Seeing the two start fighting in the blink of an eye, Khajiit frantically retreated. He never imagined the mysterious man would actually fight the Alliance Leader.
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, the mysterious man actually had the upper hand!
However, the Alliance Leader's strength was not limited to this!
"He blocked it? As expected of the Alliance Leader!"
Tang Zheng stood on the Bone Dragon, looking down at the Alliance Leader below. He had no intention of ending things here.
In any case, he still had to further probe this Alliance Leader's strength!
"Domain of Fire - All!"
An astonishing fluctuation of magic power surged from Tang Zheng's body. In an instant, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground.
Crimson flames erupted from the magic circle, instantly transforming into towering flames that rose like a wildfire.
This was the original "Sand Domain - All" magic, converted to the fire attribute through the passive ability "Elemental Attribute Conversion."
At this time, on the ground.
The moment he saw the flames rising at his feet.
The Alliance Leader immediately activated "Teleportation" magic. However, his body only shuddered for a moment before he found himself still in the same spot, the effect of the magic having been forcefully interrupted.
"A binding magic ability?"
The Alliance Leader's pupils constricted. He then felt the flames on the ground envelop his legs.
The towering flames continuously exerted a powerful magical suppression. Some of the flames transformed into fiery vines, entangling the Alliance Leader's legs.
Even with the barrier of Negative Energy, the intense heat from the flames still passed through the black mist. Fortunately, he had a magic item that resisted fire-based attacks.
The Alliance Leader's feet were bound in place by the flames, rendering him immobile. He hastily tried to control the nearby Skeleton Gryphon to carry him away.
*Bang—*
But in the next moment, the Skeleton Gryphon could not withstand the searing flames, and its body was burned to ash.
Both fire-attribute and holy-attribute energy inflict several times more damage to the Undead!
"The Skeleton Gryphon couldn't break free either? How can this be? This magic doesn't just have a binding effect!"
A flustered expression appeared on the Alliance Leader's face. He realized he had underestimated his opponent and had suffered an unexpected and humiliating setback.
The black mist of Negative Energy surged continuously, resisting the high temperature of the flames.
A sense of crisis, the likes of which he had never felt before, descended upon him!
"Sixth Tier Magic: Pale Fire!" the Alliance Leader roared.
In mid-air.
Tang Zheng looked down at the Alliance Leader, who was completely enveloped in flames, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "He won't be defeated this easily, will he? Or did I go a little too hard on him?"
"Domain of Fire" was converted from "Sand Domain," so it naturally possessed the same series of effects: hindering an opponent's movement, blindness, silence, and distraction.
Suddenly!
Tang Zheng suddenly looked up. A huge curtain of fire, constructed from white flames, had appeared high above his head.
Almost in the next instant!
The curtain of fire transformed into a torrential downpour of "Pale Fire" raindrops, descending upon Tang Zheng below. It was a dual-attribute magical attack, composed of both fire and the negative attribute.
A single glance was enough.
It gave one a chilling and terrifying sense of inescapability.
As it fell, every drop of "Pale Fire" easily scorched the air, making a sizzling sound of Negative Energy corrosion wherever it passed.
"Sixth Tier Magic?" Tang Zheng first glanced at his status panel, noting the magic's tier.
"This is..."
Immediately after, he noticed another spell that appeared on the status panel right after it.
"So that was the plan."
A flash of understanding appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes. He mused for a moment, then, looking at the rapidly falling "Pale Fire" from above, he chanted, "Teleportation!"
*Shhh!*
Tang Zheng quickly vanished from his spot, reappearing outside the area of effect of the "Pale Fire."
At that very instant, a figure appeared not far from Tang Zheng—it was the Alliance Leader, who should have been trapped within the "Domain of Fire."
"Cough... Hmph."
The moment he appeared, the Alliance Leader let out a pained grunt and retreated without hesitation, putting distance between himself and Tang Zheng.
"You were actually able to escape from my magic?"
"I see. So it was 'One-Sided Duel'?"
Tang Zheng first feigned surprise, then spoke with realization, "A truly unexpected strategy."
The Third-Tier Magic, "One-Sided Duel"!
Its specific effect is that even if an opponent escapes using teleportation, the magic establishes a connection with them, allowing the caster to appear at the same location as the opponent.
The Alliance Leader first used a Sixth Tier area-of-effect magic attack, forcing Tang Zheng to use teleportation magic to evade.
By doing so, he leveraged the effect of "One-Sided Duel" to escape the bindings of the "Domain of Fire."
"The power of that last spell was quite terrifying. It must be a power that surpasses the 5th Tier, right?"
Tang Zheng exclaimed in undisguised wonder. He raised his arm and waved, and the Bone Dragon, which had been at the center of the magic attack, flew over completely unharmed.
"According to rumor, there are four humans who have stepped into the transcendent realm, becoming the legendary 'Aberrants.' One of them is that person from the Baharuth Empire."
"The remaining three are very mysterious, but I imagine that as the Alliance Leader of Zuranon, a secret society that makes every nation wary, you must have also reached this realm."
Opposite him.
The Alliance Leader's figure was in a sorry state. The black mist that had shrouded his entire body had grown thin.
Through the Negative Energy, one could vaguely see a withered figure wearing a loose magic robe, his face pale and his body so thin he could be described as a skeleton.
"I underestimated you."
The Alliance Leader's pale pupils revealed wariness, but more than that, disbelief.
If he hadn't reacted in time, he feared he would have been completely trapped in that bizarre magic, unable to escape.
