Chapter 320: Fighting Oneself. Faith in a "God"?
Whoosh— Whoosh—
The Bone Dragon's cold, white form beat its wings, hovering in mid-air and highlighting the conspicuous red-robed magic caster standing on its spine.
The oppressive aura the opponent exuded upon appearing forcefully halted the demi-humans' offensive momentum.
Occupying the advantageous high ground and possessing the Bone Dragon's immunity to magic, the demi-humans led by the Beast General, Hector Weiss, felt the frustrating helplessness of being attacked without being able to retaliate.
Terrifyingly, the magic their opponent casually cast was astoundingly powerful. They could only scatter to reduce casualties.
The Seven-Colored Scales, Kōkosh, flickered his snake-like tongue incessantly. Seeing the heavy casualties among the demi-humans, his crimson eyes were filled with both shock and fury.
It was this person!
The one who had caused the Ten Evils of the Demi-Humans to suffer such grievous losses.
If the White Elder, Halisha, were still alive, their combined power should have been enough to defeat this cowardly human hiding behind the Bone Dragon.
Unfortunately...
The White Elder, Halisha, was already dead. The remaining warriors of the Stone-Eating Ape tribe couldn't hit the Bone Dragon from this distance with their stone-spitting ability alone.
As for the other demi-human races, while the winged demi-humans had wings, they could only glide, not truly fly.
After some careful thought, the Seven-Colored Scales, Kōkosh, realized that his people truly lacked the means to counter an enemy with the ability to fly.
Actually, it wasn't that there were no options.
There were magic casters among the Demonkin who had mastered the [Flight] spell. If they cast it on the winged demi-humans, they could fly properly.
The Seven-Colored Scales, Kōkosh, himself could also fly using this method, and with his power, it would be no problem to hold this red-robed human in check.
However...
He currently needed to command the demi-human rear guard to deal with the humans.
The Seven-Colored Scales, Kōkosh, could clearly sense that the two female humans on their side, who looked like twins, bore a deep malice toward his people.
And that man with the scar on his face!
The only one whose malice wasn't as palpable was the human acquainted with Gagaran, but that person gave him an unfathomable sense of danger.
"If we can successfully deal with the undead by borrowing the humans' power, it would be best to ensure this group of humans never leaves these hills."
"These people must represent the greatest strength of the human nations."
The Seven-Colored Scales, Kōkosh, glanced at the humans behind him, his eyes flickering as the dazzling seven-colored scales on his serpentine body twisted slightly.
"Hiss~, that female human who has mastered resurrection magic must be captured alive."
The mysterious red-robed magic caster!
This was a crucial piece of information initially provided by Gagaran, which was further confirmed after exchanging intelligence with the demi-human faction.
He was a suspected member of Zuranon, with a "threat level" second only to the Alliance Leader.
The "Bone Dragon" was an extremely rare undead. Although not as dangerous as the legendary Death Knight, it still possessed the power to nullify all magic.
It was the nemesis of all magic casters.
But the Bone Dragon's own strength wasn't high, so a countermeasure had naturally been devised.
The anomaly on the demi-human front was quickly relayed to the humans at the rear, who looked up at the enemy manipulating the Bone Dragon in the sky.
Tang Zheng and "Black" Pabel paused their advance, looking up in unison at the enemy in the sky who exuded a powerful, oppressive aura.
"I didn't expect the target to appear so quickly."
"According to the information provided by the demi-humans, this enemy is extremely dangerous. We must be careful."
"Black" Pabel held his bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, his terrifying gaze locked firmly on the target.
Tang Zheng nodded, a fleeting smile crossing his lips. For him to be the one to deal with his own shadow clone was the most fitting arrangement imaginable.
"Then, as planned, the two of us will pin him down. First, we need to find a way to destroy that Bone Dragon undead," Tang Zheng announced in a loud, righteous tone, his expression stern.
"Fourth-Tier Angel Summoning: Monitoring Dominion Angel!"
A holy light condensed—
Two Monitoring Dominion Angels appeared. Under the sunlight, their armor reflected a silver metallic sheen. Beating their wings, they hovered above the heads of the two men.
"Go!"
Tang Zheng gave the order, and the two angels flew into the sky simultaneously.
[Flight] was a spell mastered by arcane magic casters; faith-based magic casters couldn't use it. However, they could compensate for this by summoning angels that could fly.
Ordinary angels were no match for the red-robed caster.
But Tang Zheng, who possessed the power to summon two fourth-tier angels, was coordinating with the archer "Black" Pabel, who excelled at long-range attacks.
The two of them were the key to dealing with the red-robed mage!
"Leave it to me!" "Black" Pabel responded calmly.
His objective was to destroy the Bone Dragon.
As long as the Bone Dragon was gone, the red-robed magic caster wouldn't be as much of a threat, and the others' magic could harm him.
"Triple Shot!"
"Black" Pabel drew his bowstring, and a layer of flowing energy appeared on his arrowhead.
Whoosh— Whoosh—
The arrowheads easily tore through the air.
Their speed was so great that they easily overtook the two fourth-tier angels who had taken to the sky first, shooting toward the shadow clone.
As the only powerhouse on the Holy Kingdom's side, aside from Kelart and Remedios, who could unleash power in the Heroic Realm, his arrow was filled with immense destructive force.
"Gravity Reversal!"
The shadow clone cast a spell.
Invisible magical power spread out. The three incoming arrows, affected by gravity, began to slow down before falling uncontrollably from the sky.
"What kind of magic is that?" A look of surprise appeared on "Black" Pabel's face.
Magic really was troublesome.
These strange and bizarre spells were what made magic casters so difficult to figure out and deal with.
This brief exchange had already made "Black" Pabel realize that a direct frontal assault was probably not going to work.
"Then I'll take the lead. Pabel, you assist me." Tang Zheng, having seen this exchange, readjusted their previous plan.
"Alright!" "Black" Pabel nocked another arrow to his bow.
At this moment, the two Monitoring Dominion Angels also reached the shadow clone's position.
"Flame Knight Lance!"
The shadow clone unleashed a magical attack.
A red stream of light slammed heavily into one angel, causing a violent explosion. The scorching heat of the flames engulfed both angels.
However!
Under the formidable defense of a fourth-tier angel, the attack had merely knocked one of them back, leaving a dent in its silver armor.
The other Monitoring Dominion Angel, largely unaffected, had already charged forward, swinging its spiked mace to attack the shadow clone.
"Black" Pabel's arrow followed close behind, intended to harass and interfere with the shadow clone's spellcasting.
For a moment, the red-robed magic caster was actually forced into a steady retreat.
