chapter 316 part 2
*BOOM!*
A crimson fireball suddenly shot towards them from a distance.
The members of the Cleric Corps, already on alert, immediately cast their magic.
"Shockwave!" a Cleric shouted.
*RUMBLE—*
The force of the explosion erupted, forcing everyone to immediately stop their argument and look in the direction the fireball came from.
A hundred meters away, in a spot that had been empty, two figures appeared out of thin air.
An old man wearing a gray magic robe and a warrior clad in black armor.
"Hoh, members of the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy."
"It seems you found that little greeting to your liking, didn't you?"
The Gray-robed Mage's sinister laughter reached everyone's ears.
"Was that Teleportation?!"
Captain Nigun first glanced at his subordinate—those two clearly hadn't been there during the last scan—then he realized something. "Someone who has stepped into the 'Heroic Realm'! A fifth-tier magic caster!"
Everyone's expression grew serious.
Tang Zheng and the others quickly moved forward to face the two mysterious individuals.
"Who are you!" Kelart asked, her gaze cold.
"Oh my, I forgot to introduce myself."
"We are high disciples of Zuranon, and we plan to transform the Abelion Hills into a true nation of the Undead."
The Gray-robed Mage ignored their hostile glares, speaking with arrogance instead, "So, could I trouble you all to leave?"
"We don't want to offend two kingdoms at once. That would be very troublesome."
The moment the name Zuranon was mentioned, some people looked blank, while others looked astonished.
"That legendary evil secret society that destroyed a city twenty years ago!"
Kelart murmured to herself, "So the mysterious magic caster controlling the Legendary Undead is the Alliance Leader of Zuranon."
"No wonder." A flicker passed through Captain Nigun's eyes. As his gaze turned icy, a sense of understanding dawned on him.
One of the tasks for this mission was to investigate the identity of the mysterious magic caster. After all, an evil mage who could suddenly appear and was capable of creating and controlling Legendary Undead had emerged.
No amount of attention or vigilance was too much!
If it was Zuranon, then everything made sense.
Tang Zheng felt like laughing at this moment.
Alright, it seemed Zuranon was definitely taking the blame for this whole affair in the Abelion Hills.
He hadn't expected them to announce their affiliation right off the bat. He didn't know whether to call them confident or arrogant.
"Pavel!"
Remedios didn't have so many complicated thoughts. Now that the enemy was confirmed, she just had to kill them.
"Yes!"
"Black" Pavel had already drawn his bowstring taut. An arrow glowing with a faint red light was instantly loosed.
The arrow streaked through the air like a rainbow!
It crossed the hundred-meter distance in an instant, heading straight for the Gray-robed Mage's head.
"Dark Strike!"
The stoic, black-armored knight standing to the side suddenly took a step forward. With a wave of his arm, he swung his black longsword.
It easily struck the incredibly fast arrow.
*BOOM!*
The arrow exploded on contact, and scorching flames engulfed the black-armored knight.
The members of the Holy Kingdom faction showed looks of elation, only to be stunned the very next moment.
And then they saw!
The black-armored knight walked out of the flames completely unscathed, his entire body shimmering with a faint black light, like some kind of protection magic.
"I hate it when people use petty tricks."
"In a moment, I'll kill your captain first, and then I'll kill you."
The black-armored knight raised the black longsword in his hand, pointing its tip at "Black" Pavel. The scars on his face writhed like maggots as he spoke in a cold voice.
"It seems you all refuse to leave!"
The Gray-robed Mage's voice followed immediately after. He lifted the magic staff in his hand, which seemed to be made of vines, and slammed it forcefully onto the ground.
"Come out, everyone!"
*RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—*
The ground shook!
Skeletal and rotting arms began to emerge from the ground as large numbers of low-tier Undead started to appear.
"Protect the corpses and prepare for battle!"
"Remedios, I want one of them captured alive," Kelart said quickly.
"Got it!" Remedios replied, a fiery light in her eyes.
At this moment, Tang Zheng looked at the status panel that only he could see, a trace of surprise on his face.
*Skill "Dark Strike" discovered. Requirement: Intermediate Job Class [Dark Knight]. Prerequisite Job: [Paladin]. Current conditions not met...*
*"Genius" Job activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 3 Skill Points to learn?*
"A prerequisite of Paladin?"
Tang Zheng was a bit stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the prerequisite for the Holy Knight job was Paladin. How was it that this Intermediate Job Class before him also had Paladin as a prerequisite?
After a brief hesitation, a thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. It was just an Intermediate Job Class; at worst, it would be a waste of three skill points.
*VMMMM—*
*Job Class Acquired!*
…………

…………
After seeing this job's information, Tang Zheng finally understood why an Intermediate Job Class, whose name seemed completely unrelated to a Paladin, still required Paladin as its prerequisite.
"A fallen Paladin... what a cliché job."
Tang Zheng compared the job information for Dark Knight and Holy Knight and found that there was no connection between them in terms of their content.
He temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
Tang Zheng turned his gaze back to the front, where everyone was already engaged in combat with the Undead.
