Chapter 366: The Second Plan, the Giant Dragon Appears
Whoosh!
From the cuff of the red robe, a hand clad in a black leather glove emerged, reaching for Evileye's stiff body.
The members of Blue Rose, perched on the hillside, reacted in the same instant.
"Stop!"
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's eyes widened in fury. The chill running up her spine turned to rage as she instantly drew her magic sword and shot up from her spot.
Gagaran's tall frame displayed a reaction speed far exceeding her size as she swung the shattering hammer in her hand. "Get the hell away!"
"Ninjutsu: Immovable Body-Fixing Technique!" Tina formed a hand seal and shouted.
Swish!
"Ninjutsu: Shadow Lurk!"
Tia vanished from her spot, emerging from the shadow behind the mysterious red-robed person, a red-threaded dagger gleaming coldly in her hand.
She viciously stabbed toward the location of the mysterious red-robed person's heart from behind!
In the blink of an eye.
The four members of Blue Rose launched their assault. Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra and Gagaran flanked from the left and right, Tina restricted the opponent's movements, and Tia attacked from behind, cutting off any escape.
The situation was reversed in an instant!
However.
The mysterious red-robed person seemed oblivious to their attacks, continuing to reach for Evileye. Just as his fingertips were about to make contact...
Evileye's stiff shoulders twitched, and she agilely retreated, causing the mysterious red-robed person's hand to grasp at empty air.
"Oh?"
Tang Zheng, disguised as the mysterious red-robed person, watched as Evileye broke free from "Undead Control" after only a moment of stiffness, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
The three attacks from the left, right, and rear descended at the same time.
"Dimensional Move."
BOOM!
A massive roar echoed from the Hill.
Tia's stab met empty air.
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's and Gagaran's attacks slammed into the ground, creating a powerful tremor. A Pit appeared where Tang Zheng had been standing, sending a plume of dust and smoke billowing into the air.
Their attacks missed.
Blue Rose did not pursue immediately. Instead, they quickly adopted a defensive stance, warily watching what was in front of them.
"Bastard, who are you!"
Gagaran was furious. The muscles all over her body tensed, making her already tall frame look even more menacing.
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra gripped her pitch-black magic sword with both hands, her gaze cold and grave as she looked forward. "Are you alright, Evileye?"
"I'm fine. Our opponent is no simple foe."
From behind Evileye's mask came a low, hoarse voice that made it impossible to distinguish her gender, but inwardly, she felt astonishment and anger.
She was wearing a magic ring to conceal her undead status, and she also possessed a treasure from her homeland, a magical item named the "Shroud of Repose."
It could also suppress the signs of undeath, the smell of decay, and so on.
With these two magical items, no one should have been able to discover her undead status. Yet, this mysterious person who suddenly appeared had used magic capable of controlling the undead right from the start.
This was highly problematic!
The dust and smoke cleared.
The mysterious red-robed person appeared before the members of Blue Rose.
He was dressed in a red magic robe, his head concealed by a loose red hood, and his face was covered by a mask. His entire getup was extremely mysterious.
Judging from his appearance alone, he certainly didn't look like a good person.
"Who are you!"
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra demanded sharply, the little finger of the left hand gripping her magic sword curling slightly downwards.
The members of Blue Rose immediately noticed their "devil captain's" subtle gesture; it was the signal to be ready to attack at any moment.
"I was just trying to help you."
Tang Zheng's voice, altered by a magical item, was filled with a world-weary hoarseness.
"Did you not know that this comrade of yours is an undead?"
Tang Zheng looked at Evileye, a troubled expression appearing on the face hidden beneath his hood.
He had anticipated from the start that without the support of an undead-based class build, he wouldn't be able to control her for long, even with "Undead Control."
He just never expected the duration of control to be so short!
After all, his magic caster level was equivalent to the 10th tier, and his overall level was higher than Evileye's.
The failure of control could only be attributed to her class's resistance.
*Looks like a direct assault is the only option left,* Tang Zheng thought to himself.
Evileye's innate ability stored the Wild Magic "Soul Absorption." The reason she was still alive was because of this magic.
Theoretically, that Wild Magic should be in an active state. Tang Zheng wanted to make physical contact with her to see if he could trigger the learning of the skill, and in turn, activate a class.
"Just who are you!"
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's voice grew even colder, her jade-green eyes filled with frost.
"How dare you lay a hand on my comrade!"
"Oh?" Tang Zheng let out a strange laugh, seemingly a little surprised. "So you knew all along. To think that the renowned Adventurer Team, Blue Rose, was hiding an undead. What a frightening discovery."
As soon as these words were spoken!
The expressions on the faces of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra and the others turned even colder.
If this mysterious person were to spread the word, it would have a tremendous impact and deal a massive blow to their adventurer team.
"During the Abelion Hills incident, it was said there was a member of Zuranon wearing a red robe who, after the Alliance Leader was killed, disappeared without a trace."
Evileye suddenly spoke up, stating with great certainty, "You're that Zuranon member who escaped."
Tang Zheng did not respond, but at this moment, his silence was an answer in itself.
A gentle breeze lifted Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's slightly curled golden hair. Just as she was about to signal everyone to attack...
"His target is me. I'll be his opponent."
Evileye had already stepped forward, her expression cold behind her ruby-white mask. "A word of advice—the weak should know their place!"
Her red cloak flared.
"Crystal Shot."
"Dragon Lightning."
Fist-sized crystal projectiles shot forward like cannonballs, colliding with the surging, dragon-shaped lightning.
BOOM!
The blinding blue electric light shattered the crystal projectiles, sending dense fragments scattering in all directions.
Whoosh—
At the same time, Evileye's figure vanished from sight, reappearing behind Tang Zheng in an instant.
"Sand Domain: Individual!"
Evileye's cold voice rang out.
A magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Tang Zheng's feet, spewing forth a massive amount of sand. The dense yellow sand seemed to have a special stickiness, rapidly forming a sand coffin that sealed Tang Zheng within.
"It's over." The petite Evileye stood calmly behind Tang Zheng, her posture arrogant.
This magic not only restricted an opponent's movement but also possessed a series of abilities like silence and blindness. With her opponent bound, victory was decided.
Seeing this, the members of Blue Rose broke into smiles.
"That's our little one for you." Gagaran set the shattering hammer she was holding on the ground and laughed heartily.
However!
Pfft.
A red sleeve cuff extended from the sand and quickly touched Evileye's body.
Evileye's expression changed. She instantly retreated, putting distance between them again, while simultaneously casting magic to inspect the spot he had touched.
*No trace of magic.*
