chapter 327 part 2
"This is... you've been hiding this spell all this time!"
The Alliance Leader's face changed drastically when he found himself bound, realizing he had been tricked. From the very beginning, his opponent had deliberately kept this binding spell hidden.
Success!
Tang Zheng's heart settled. After fighting for so long, the Alliance Leader was already low on magic power and thus extremely cautious. If he hadn't feigned weakness, his opponent would never have fallen for the trap.
"Then let's end this, Alliance Leader!"
A cold light glinted in Tang Zheng's eyes.
He had exposed a potion that wasn't quite a trump card. Although he had intended to use it for a transaction anyway, a reward was still due.
*Bang—Crack—*
The golden scepter in the Archangel Dominion's hand suddenly shattered, turning into golden fragments that wrapped around its entire body—the sign of activating a special skill.
"W-wait a moment."
"We can talk!" The black mist around the Alliance Leader's body roiled. His normally magnetic voice, part of his disguise, turned into the harsh, piercing screech of a crow.
`Extreme Holy Strike`
A divine purifying force far exceeding what had come before descended as a terrifying pillar of light.
The Alliance Leader's figure was engulfed by the light. The binding force shattered along with him, and he became a black shadow that streaked across the sky, crashing into the distant mountain range.
*Boom—*
After this power was used, the Archangel Dominion completely dissipated.
Tang Zheng's figure was exposed to the air, and he began to free-fall rapidly toward the ground.
*Swoosh!*
A figure in bright silver armor rushed over from a distance. With a forceful stomp on the ground, she leaped high into the air.
"Awooo~"
The Evil Spirit Hound was even faster. The bone chain on its body shot into the air, and just as it reached its limit, the hound jerked its head.
The straight bone chain bent and spun, forming a spring-like spiral that precisely caught Tang Zheng as he fell from mid-air.
*Clatter, clatter...*
The bone chain retracted, pulling Tang Zheng from the air and setting him steadily on the Evil Spirit Hound's back.
*Bang!*
The brown-haired figure also landed from the sky, shaking the ground.
Tang Zheng, his face pale, sat on the Evil Spirit Hound, feigning weakness. He looked a little dazed at the brown-haired figure opposite him. "Captain Remedios?"
Remedios's expression was stiff.
"Ahem, I was just preventing you from getting killed in the fall."
Remedios forced herself to remain calm. She raised her arms and crossed them over her chest. After observing Tang Zheng and seeing that he wasn't injured, she reverted to her usual cold demeanor.
"You even managed to defeat a formidable enemy like the Zuranon Alliance Leader. It would be too pathetic to die from something so trivial."
As she spoke, Remedios's expression grew inscrutable.
Whether it was the most threatening Death Knight or the terrifyingly strong and evil leader of the secret society Zuranon, both had indirectly died at Tang Zheng's hands.
Even the suddenly appearing legendary undead, the Soul Eater, had died at the hands of an ordinary young girl named Enri from the Free Will Adventurer Team.
Ordinary?
A bitter smile touched the corner of Remedios's lips. If Enri was called ordinary, then what did that make her?
Frustration! Indignation! Humiliation!
An ordinary girl she had previously paid no mind to had suddenly displayed such overwhelming power. Remedios, who had always been proud, felt a storm of complicated emotions rise within her.
This war and undead calamity, instigated by the cult Zuranon...
In the end, the ones who resolved this matter were neither their Holy Kingdom nor the Slane Theocracy, but an Adventurer Team!
"In any case, it's over, Captain Remedios."
Tang Zheng squeezed out a smile, his voice weak as he replied.
"That's right, it's over." Remedios paused for a moment, then let out a breath.
Countless corpses littered the ground.
There were Humans, demi-humans, and even more undead. Everyone on the battlefield was silent at this moment.
Then, a heaven-shaking cheer erupted!
"We won!"
"We won."
"..."
"The calamity is over!"
All sorts of excited howls came from the demi-humans, and a joyous mood filled the entire battlefield.
Some demi-humans threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and wept loudly. On the Human Faction's side, some collapsed limply to the ground.
Two legendary undead, an Alliance Leader possessing power comparable to a Demon God—the oppressive feeling from these enemies had long since stretched everyone's nerves to the breaking point.
Now, it was all released in one go!
At this moment, Tang Zheng was not immersed in this atmosphere. He was controlling his shadow clone to search for the Alliance Leader.
That's right.
After taking the full-force blow from the Archangel Dominion, the Alliance Leader hadn't died. Tang Zheng knew this because his status panel showed no notification of experience gained.

Where the remnants of the Holy Knight Order and Cleric Corps were gathered.
"We really won."
Kelart muttered to herself, her face a mask of complexity. She gazed toward the center of the distant battlefield, and when she thought of her sister suddenly running over there, her expression became even more complicated.
She understood Remedios's personality very well. Since when had she ever cared so much about someone else?
"Free Will."
An unparalleled gravity rose in Kelart's heart.
This Adventurer Team was simply too far beyond common sense. Both now and in the future, the entire Holy Kingdom had to treat them with the utmost friendliness.
Especially that miraculous technique of merging with an angel!
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Kelart's eyes, but she ultimately suppressed them. For now, there was no need to consider these things.
She raised her head.
She looked at the surviving demi-humans on the battlefield. Although they were relatively scattered, Kelart could still roughly estimate their numbers. There were still about 3,000 of them.
These demi-humans were definitely the most elite forces in the entire hills region at present!
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the Human Faction.
The Holy Knight Order had less than 70 survivors. The Cleric Corps had lost half its members, with 100 remaining. The Sunlight Scripture was left with only about 30 people.
They had very little combat power left at the moment.
"This opportunity cannot be missed."
Kelart watched all the demi-humans on the battlefield, her eyes turning cold. She grabbed the magical leather pouch on her waist with one hand and quickly said:
"Prepare the ritual!"
Several clerics, their faces weary but joyous from the victory, suddenly heard this. They exchanged glances and rose to stand beside Kelart.
***
Slane Theocracy.
Divine Capital.
Stargazer Far-Sight, dressed in a JK uniform, sat on the floor in a daze. A red, half-frame magical item called "Glasses" had fallen beside her.
Stargazer Far-Sight pressed her lips together, somewhat silent.
She was contemplating how to report this to the several Cardinals. If she submitted this report, the Cardinals would surely think she was fabricating the story.
The legendary undead, a Soul Eater Demon, was killed by a young girl with a single sword strike!
What kind of joke was that!
