Chapter 388: Trump Card "Kali's Sigh" Activated! The Two Heavenly Kings Are Annihilated
He retrieved the pipa!
The body of Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Heavenly King) glowed with a faint golden light as he roared and pressed the strings, "Brahma Sound Resonance!"
*Shhh!*
A brilliant golden light poured out from the pipa, an unstoppable golden torrent that instantly enveloped the entire plaza.
It was an attack with a massive area of effect! There was no way to dodge it; it was a purely percentage-based skill.
【HP: 1000/1125 · MP: 770/918】
"Damn it, *ptui!*"
Tang Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood. His entire body felt as if it were being pierced by needles. Ignoring the pain, he reached into his item box and pulled out a scroll, his gaze fixed on Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) who was holding the five-colored umbrella elsewhere.
"The conversion time between the Vajradhatu and Garbhadhatu is about eight minutes. There are still about seven minutes left."
He crushed the scroll!
'Sixth-Tier: Greater Healing' was cast.
A gentle, holy white light appeared in the air. Just as it was about to descend upon Tang Zheng to heal him...
"Canopy: Red!"
Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) held the five-colored umbrella, a magic item. A trace of compassion appeared on his green face as he declared, "Sinful Karma!"
*Ding!*
A pointer spun and landed on the red surface of the umbrella.
The 'Greater Healing' that had been cast, a healing spell radiating holy light, was instantly transformed into a stream of pure, dark negative energy.
The magic descended!
Tang Zheng immediately felt the corrosive damage of the negative energy. He let out a muffled grunt, his brow twitching. "Even this is possible!"
At that moment, the healing spell had been converted into an attack spell that dealt damage!
【HP: 990/1125 · MP: 770/918】
'Greater Healing' would have restored 100 health points. Converted into a negative attribute, it naturally dealt the same damage value. However, he possessed the 'Dark Attribute Resistance (80%)' passive.
This pure energy attack, with no added bonuses or effects, was mostly nullified. Factoring in his Physical Armament and inherent magic resistance, it ultimately only dealt 10 points of damage.
The damage was low, but the situation was much worse. This meant Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) had sealed away his healing magic.
"Damn it!"
Tang Zheng now clearly understood how vile Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) was, and the desire to eliminate these two Heavenly Kings first grew stronger in his heart.
"That five-colored umbrella symbolizes the Five-Colored Light of Buddhism. I should now have a complete understanding of its five skills."
White: Shield!
Yellow: Taunt!
Red: Healing Conversion!
Green: Silence!
Blue: Healing!
His opponent also had a skill that could forcibly change the control of a summoned creature.
The only uncertainty was what Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King)'s ultimate move was, and whether he had any other offensive skills.
"Following typical game logic, a boss's skills will usually change, or they'll even gain more powerful moves once their health points drop to a certain level."
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his gaze on the two Heavenly Kings before him grew even colder.
His most dreaded speculation was that in the end, he would have to face all four Heavenly Kings at once.
In a one-on-two, Tang Zheng was confident he could wear down and kill the two Heavenly Kings.
In terms of offensive skills, he was indeed no match for these Heavenly Kings. However, the combination of passives and stats from his series of high-tier job classes was no weaker than theirs.
*Bang!* The air trembled.
A fan-shaped shockwave, 'Chord Wave', was released from the hands of Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Heavenly King).
"Skull Wall!"
Tang Zheng began chanting, activating a defensive spell.
A wall of skeletons rose to block the soundwave's attack, crumbling into fine dust.
*Swoosh!*
Tang Zheng's figure flickered and began to move. As he observed the positions of the two Heavenly Kings, he thought to himself, *I still need to confirm one more thing...*
"Fifth-Tier Magic Beast Summoning: Bronze Axe Minotaur!"
"Fifth-Tier Angel Summoning: Purifying Power Angel!"
One blue and one white ray of magical power converged.
A tall minotaur wielding a bronze axe and an angel holding a golden banner appeared before Tang Zheng at the same time.
Tang Zheng had mastered three types of summoning magic. Normally, without a corresponding summoning-focused build, he could only summon one monster of the same type at a time.
However, casting different types of summoning magic was not subject to this restriction.
Previously, 'Magic Beast Summoning' was at the second tier and 'Compound Elemental Summoning' was at the third.
Before entering the Mandala of Two Realms, Tang Zheng had used 'Magic Ascension' to raise these two summoning spells to the 9th tier, consuming 13 skill points.
【Skill Points: 125 → 112】
He didn't raise them to the 10th tier (Lv. 64-70) because his current player level was only 60.
After summoning these two monsters, Tang Zheng not only did not order them to attack, but he also immediately directed the Bronze Axe Minotaur and the Purifying Power Angel to move away from the two Heavenly Kings.
*Ding!*
At this moment, Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Heavenly King) and Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) also activated their skills: 'Entangling Strings: Sink' and 'Fall of Merit'.
*Swoosh! Swoosh!*
In four directions around Tang Zheng—front, back, left, and right—one-meter-wide magic circles appeared, shimmering with an azure light.
Thick strings resembling pipa strings shot out from the four magic circles, lashing toward Tang Zheng in the center from different trajectories simultaneously.
*Swoosh!*
The strings lashed out, creating a harsh, piercing sound as they cut through the air.
"Mind's Eye!"
Tang Zheng let out a low shout. As the Martial Skill activated, the different attack trajectories of the four strings appeared clearly in his mind as if through telepathy.
His agile figure flickered continuously!
Like a nimble dancer, Tang Zheng weaved and jumped between the afterimages of the whipping strings, quickly escaping the range of the magical attack.
"ROAR!"
The Bronze Axe Minotaur suddenly let out a furious roar. Its originally crimson eyes began to glow with a faint golden light as it raised its axe and charged toward Tang Zheng.
The instant he lost control, Tang Zheng sensed it. He showed no surprise, however, instead glancing in the direction of the angel.
*It seems Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King)'s skill can only control one summoned creature at a time!*
A smile actually appeared on Tang Zheng's face. The last time his Shadow Clone had been turned against him, which was why he hadn't dared to summon one recklessly this time.
"Information gathering complete!"
Tang Zheng relaxed slightly and immediately commanded the Purifying Power Angel to block the rampaging Bronze Axe Minotaur.
Since his opponent could only control one creature, dispelling the summon was a poor choice. He needed the Bronze Axe Minotaur to occupy Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King)'s control slot!
"My turn to counterattack!"
"Magic Ascension—Tenth-Tier Compound Elemental Summoning: Storm Elemental Spirit!" Tang Zheng's Magic Power rapidly boiled, and a chunk of it vanished.
【HP: 990/1125 · MP: 675/918】
A flash of magical power!
The compound element didn't appear, as if the spell had failed.
However, the moment Tang Zheng cast the magic, he simultaneously activated the passive effect, 'Prepare Magic,' storing the spell away.
He looked toward the two Heavenly Kings.
Now was not the time to be stingy with scrolls.
"Teleport!"
Tang Zheng's figure vanished in the blink of an eye, reappearing in front of Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King), who held the five-colored umbrella.
He crushed a 'Tenth-Tier: Heating' scroll!
*BOOM—*
A crimson light erupted. The rapidly expanding high temperature formed a powerful shockwave, blasting Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) away from his original spot.
Tang Zheng had deliberately chosen his teleportation angle so that Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King) would be sent flying directly toward the position of Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Heavenly King).
He crushed another 'Tenth-Tier: Heating' scroll.
