chapter 321 part 2
"Could she really awaken the Paladin class?" This thought popped into Tang Zheng's mind, but he felt it was unlikely.
The Paladin class wasn't an ordinary warrior class; it also required the talent of a spellcaster. Enri possessed neither, so there was little point in her forcibly taking the class.
Another day passed.
This time, Kelart resurrected all the remaining 11 people.
This made Tang Zheng realize that Kelart must have already analyzed a certain amount of information from the demi-humans' supply-gathering movements.
After these few days of observation.
Tang Zheng had already roughly estimated the amount of magic power Kelart possessed—around 280 points.
Compared to his own 568 magic power, it was about half, and that wasn't even counting the bonus from the two new intermediate job classes he had acquired.
The magic power of Kelart, a Heroic Realm magic caster, was a decent reference for Tang Zheng.
After a full four days of rest.
Without any warning—
Kelart summoned Tang Zheng and Captain Nigun, taking the initiative to go to the demi-human encampment to communicate with Kōkosh of the Seven-Colored Scales.
The demi-human faction, which had long been waiting impatiently, agreed to this proposal for an offensive without the slightest hesitation.
Upper Wind Month.
April 3rd, 5:11 AM.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
The human and demi-human factions set out for the Corpse Pit in the Southern Mountains.
The 5,000 elite demi-humans charged at the very front, with the humans following closely behind. Both sides had already communicated their respective targets.
The demi-humans would primarily clear out the ordinary undead, while the humans would deal with the Death Knights and the evil organization Zuranon.
The vast Human-Demi-human Alliance.
It took only three hours to enter the Southern Mountains region. After a half-hour rest, they set out again.
The arid land was hot and yellowed from drought.
The ground was littered with grave-like pits of various sizes, marks left by the undead crawling out from underground and destroying the earth.
The stench of rot grew ever more potent.
Entering this true core area, the arrival of the human and demi-human factions completely stirred the originally dead-silent land. A large number of undead crawled out from the ground, and the sounds of battle instantly echoed across the sky!
Corpse Pit zone.
Three figures stood silently before the Alliance Leader, who was shrouded in black mist.
The Gray-robed Mage, the Black Armored Knight, and Tang Zheng's shadow clone.
"They're finally here!"
"I was getting impatient," the Black Armored Knight said, drawing his corrupting sword and twisting his neck with a *crack*.
"I'll need your assistance this time."
The Alliance Leader looked at Tang Zheng's shadow clone, who had remained silent from the start. The pale eyes behind the black mist were incomparably cold.
*Vwomm—*
A blue magic circle appeared.
"Roar!"
A roar that was part dragon, part beast came from within the magic circle, and a bone dragon flew out.
Tang Zheng's shadow clone held the Orb of Death in one hand, stepped onto the bone dragon's head, and soared into the air, flying toward the battlefield.
"Such an impatient personality."
The Gray-robed Mage remarked with a cold sneer upon seeing Tang Zheng's arrogant display, yet he was fearful inside:
"A bone dragon? To be able to control such an undead... No wonder the Alliance Leader values him so highly."
"You two, move out as well!"
"It's time to completely squash these boring fleas," the Alliance Leader said coldly.
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
At this moment.
The human and demi-human factions had entered the former territory of the Blue Maggot Tribe. This place was now completely transformed into a dead land.
Even during the hot day, the temperature in this area held a chill. The death aura and negative energy in the air, invisible to ordinary people, were gathering here in large quantities.
The moment he stepped into this area.
The light of magic power flickered intermittently in Tang Zheng's eyes as he observed the faint gray negative energy spreading through the air:
"The Spiral of Death ritual is still in place. As expected, the Alliance Leader still wants to create a more powerful undead."
Using the power of the Death Knights to create tens of thousands of undead... with such a massive number, the amount of negative energy that could be drawn in... If he were the Alliance Leader, he wouldn't give up on the idea of creating an even stronger undead.
"Kill!!"
"Be careful!"
"Don't let the undead touch you!"
"Roar!"
"Attack according to the Beast General's command."
"Don't spread out! If you feel tired, retreat immediately and let your kin from the rear take over."
The battle cries of the demi-humans came continuously from the front.
Seeing this dense swarm of undead, all the demi-humans' eyes turned crimson as they roared in anger.
It was these damned undead that had turned the hills into this hellscape!
The human faction followed behind the demi-humans, advancing calmly in their usual formation, letting the demi-humans deal with the vast number of low-tier undead first.
At the very rear of the formation.
Were Enri and the 40 resurrected paladins.
"He's here."
Tang Zheng felt the shadow clone getting closer and looked up, murmuring.
*Boom—*
The bone dragon's body cut through the air with a piercing shriek, flying from the distant sky like a white specter.
Tang Zheng's shadow clone was clad in a bright red robe that flapped loudly in the wind, his legs planted firmly on the thick bones of the bone dragon's spine.
"Flame Knight Spear!"
Tang Zheng's shadow clone raised his arm, aimed at the demi-humans fighting in a chaotic melee with the undead at the very front, and pointed a finger.
*Fwoosh~*
A crimson flame instantly gathered, forming a fiery spear about two meters long. It streaked across the sky like a rainbow and slammed into the crowd below.
*BOOM—*
With a loud explosion, the fiery blast instantly engulfed everything around it.
A large number of undead and demi-humans were directly caught in it. Under the immense power of the fourth-tier magic, they were turned to ash without even letting out a scream.
『Gained 80 Experience』
『Gained 139 Experience』
『Gained 72 Experience』
『........』
『Gained 8 Experience』
A dense stream of experience notifications quickly scrolled across the stat panel in front of Tang Zheng. Experience gained from enemies killed by the shadow clone would naturally be his.
Tang Zheng's shadow clone, paying no mind to his own side's undead, once again cast magic and blasted the ground.
A large number of undead and demi-humans died once again!
"The enemy is in the sky!"
"Spellcasters, cast magic!"
"...!"
Dozens of demi-human magic casters cast magic toward the sky from all directions, but it hit the bone dragon's body without causing any damage.
"It's that red-robed magic caster who can control the bone dragon! Don't waste magic power attacking it; that bone dragon has an ability that nullifies magic!"
"All demi-humans, spread out! Don't gather together!"
"Let the humans intervene!"
The Beast General, Hector Weiss, roared out the commands.
