chapter 377 part 2
Tang Zheng was slightly disappointed when he saw that the highest tier of magic Cassius Habakkuk could cast was only at the sixth tier.
"Archlich of Night" sounded terrifying, but in terms of level alone, it wasn't as high as one might imagine.
Skeleton Mage (15) + Elder Lich (10) + Archlich of Night (10) = Lv 35.
As for the undead below, his racial level was likely not maxed out; he should have other magical classes. In Tang Zheng's perception, the other party did not exceed Lv 40.
His magical tactics were stronger than Evileye's, but his level was far lower. With the advantage from the level difference, victory was only a matter of time.
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
Evileye flew in circles in mid-air, having already gauged her opponent's strength.
When she saw him cast a sixth-tier magic spell, Evileye was inwardly shocked, but magic that doesn't hit is meaningless.
Right now, while dodging her opponent's spells, she was gradually closing the distance, occasionally pausing to cast magic.
To use magic with focus, it is difficult to move and fight at the same time, because it is hard to concentrate while in motion.
This is why magic casters often stop moving to exchange spells.
The strategy Evileye was currently employing was to use her agile flight to maintain mobility, in order to land a decisive blow when the time was right.
"How can this be!"
Cassius Habakkuk was in disbelief. The enemy was completely unscathed under the assault of his sixth-tier magic.
Even the most slow-witted person would realize that this opponent was extraordinary.
If he were one of the living, he would probably be drenched in a cold sweat facing such a foe, but as an undead, he felt no fear.
Cassius Habakkuk felt he couldn't defeat his opponent and would probably have to find a new stronghold.
"Good thing I carry some of the key data with me."
This thought flashed through Cassius Habakkuk's mind, but he still felt annoyed and angry.
"Sixth-Tier Magic: Necrotic Touch!"
A large, translucent tentacle, invisible to the naked eye and formed from negative energy, whipped violently towards Evileye, who was steadily closing in.
—*Swish!*
The tentacle, composed entirely of negative energy, not only made no sound during its attack, but was even imperceptible to ordinary people.
However!
Cassius Habakkuk watched, wide-eyed, as Evileye once again dodged it with ease.
But as was evident, a spell that doesn't hit is meaningless.
"Damn it!"
With this attack, Cassius Habakkuk was certain that his opponent's previous evasion was no fluke.
"Hmph!"
"I don't have time to dally with you here."
Cassius Habakkuk glared fiercely at his enemy with his scarlet eyes. He had other methods and magic, but they were clearly not enough to defeat his opponent.
Faced with such a troublesome foe, he would rather abandon this prized stronghold than invite unnecessary trouble.
"Partial Petrification!" Evileye seized the opportunity and quickly cast her magic.
A blue light flashed.
"Resist!"
Cassius Habakkuk immediately cast a dispel spell, then surged with magic power from within his body:
"Teleport!"
His body swayed.
Cassius Habakkuk found himself still in the same spot.
"This... this..."
A rare, twisted expression of astonishment appeared on Cassius Habakkuk's rotting face.
His teleportation was blocked?
How was that possible? Such a power actually existed in the world? This was a domain he had never tread upon.
"Sand Domain: Individual!"
Seeing Cassius Habakkuk's momentary daze, Evileye immediately unleashed this spell.
She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
It was just as incredible as when she had first witnessed this magic herself.
*Rustle!*
Earthy brown quicksand erupted from beneath Cassius Habakkuk's feet, forming a sandy coffin that sealed him completely in place.
"The battle is over."
Evileye descended swiftly from the sky, declaring her victory. The fury in her eyes had not subsided in the slightest.
*Thud!*
Her feet touched the ground.
The moment Evileye stood before Cassius Habakkuk, she threw a punch right into his face.
This was a punch of vengeance for manipulating her people!
*Bang!*
Cassius Habakkuk's head was knocked sideways. The thin, rotten skin on his face was torn off and sent flying.
The undead felt no distinct pain.
Cassius Habakkuk's body was bound by sand, but he could still move his head. He twisted his head back into place and yelled at Evileye, "Who are you!"
"How did you do that? How could you block teleportation!"
"Was it magic? Or some kind of special ability?"
Cassius Habakkuk shouted frantically.
It was an intense thirst for knowledge!
"Uh..." Evileye's eyes widened behind her mask.
She couldn't seem to comprehend how this undead, after being captured alive, was concerned with such a thing.
Just then!
A resonant voice suddenly echoed from the void: "Where is the stronghold of the Body of the Abyss?"
After witnessing the battle between the two, Tang Zheng had confirmed there were no other abnormalities in the area, but he still had no intention of revealing himself.
Body of the Abyss?
Hearing this name, which sounded like some kind of organization, Evileye's heart stirred. The Crimson Dragon Lord had another purpose!
Cassius Habakkuk's eager gaze instantly cleared. He looked around in a panic but couldn't find the person who had spoken.
"I don't know!"
After a moment's hesitation, Cassius Habakkuk immediately denied it.
The undead were the enemies of all living beings, so the organization's existence had always been a secret. He didn't know how he had been discovered.
Even though the organization was now controlled by a malevolent Dragon Lord, he had no intention of revealing the location of its stronghold.
"Is that so."
Tang Zheng's golden, slitted pupils stared coldly at the undead before him. He couldn't be certain if the other party was truly a member of the Body of the Abyss.
Against an undead with complete mental resistance, charm-type magic was completely ineffective.
"How about I trade the knowledge of the teleportation-blocking magic for it?" Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then spoke again.
"Deal!"
A voice rasped from Cassius Habakkuk's dry throat without the slightest hesitation.
The corner of Evileye's mouth twitched beneath her mask.
