Chapter 390: Soul of Heroic Spirits: Second Transformation, Summoned Creatures
Potent holy energy rippled through the sky!
A vast number of angels continuously flooded the space. To describe it as "blotting out the sky" would be an exaggeration, but in terms of spectacle, it was more than enough to capture one's attention.
This was an extremely powerful, special-type 10th-tier magic. Disregarding its cost and usage limits, it was powerful enough to hinder even a level 100 Player.
Unfortunately.
The only one in this space was Tang Zheng. If this had been cast in the otherworld, the mere sight of this magic would have been enough for the people of that world to bestow the title of "God" upon the caster.
The sky filled with angels radiating a holy glow. Upon being attacked by the Red Jiao-snake, all the neutral angels sprang into action!
Boom!
Rumble!
Beams of holy light and magical attacks transformed into streaks of light, blasting toward the Red Jiao-snake and the six crimson giant pythons. The two sides clashed in an instant.
In a single exchange!
More than half of the level 10 guardian angels were lost, but they were immediately replaced by more powerful angels.
The dense swarm of angels engaged in a fierce battle with the group of crimson pythons led by the Red Jiao-snake. Hisses and roars echoed across the sky.
The magnificent scene was like a divine war!
The three level 64 creatures Tang Zheng had summoned with normal magic—the Judgment Throne Angel, Cerberus, and Blizzard Elemental Spirit—simultaneously besieged the summoner, the Vast Eye Heavenly King.
[HP: 1125/1125 · MP: 395/918]
After casting a series of spells, his MP had already dropped below half.
For a magic caster, MP is a lifeline. This was an extremely dangerous situation, but for Tang Zheng, it was nothing.
Tang Zheng stood in mid-air, looking at the Growth Heavenly King charging toward him again from a distance. He lifted his chin, his gaze cold. "In terms of level, I am indeed much weaker than you."
"But—"
"When it comes to stats and methods, my combat styles are far more varied than yours!"
A white light surged from Tang Zheng's body as he let out a low shout, "Soul of Heroic Spirits!"
A ball of light appeared.
It slowly took the form of a normal-sized human, its upright posture closely resembling Tang Zheng's, except its entire body was dyed white, even its pupils were a hazy white.
"Soul of Heroic Spirits: First Transformation!"
Tang Zheng, expressionless, calmly issued the command.
The human-sized Soul of Heroic Spirits rapidly expanded, like a reawakening giant creature, transforming in the blink of an eye into a twenty-meter-tall, pure white dragon.
Its magnificent, massive body stretched freely in mid-air. When it spread its wings, its wingspan approached fifty meters!
The Soul of Heroic Spirits could not make a sound, but at this size, its silence paradoxically created an even stronger impact!
"Second Transformation!" A corner of Tang Zheng's mouth curled up.
Swish!
A pale red mist erupted from the surface of its pure white body. A crimson body armament condensed on the Soul of Heroic Spirits' draconic body, rapidly covering it entirely.
The sacred, pure-white dragon transformed in a single breath into a slightly larger crimson dragon!
Unlike magic and normal skills.
The Soul of Heroic Spirits had completely inherited the two abilities, *Golden Dragon Lord Transformation* and *Body Armament*!
This was perhaps related to the trait of the Soul of Heroic Spirits itself—it was a perfect image of its user, inheriting the armament and ability stats of its form.
It was just like how the Soul of Heroic Spirits summoned by Shalltear also appeared clad in armor.
However.
This came at a price. The HP of the Soul of Heroic Spirits dropped by 30%, which was the HP cost of the two skills.
It seemed…
Losing 30% of its HP before the battle even began didn't seem like a good strategy, but the benefits were actually greater.
Transforming into the *Dragon Lord Form* would trigger a series of passives from the *Dragon Race Transcender* class. For instance, *Golden Dragon Scales - Enhanced* not only increased Physical and Magic Resistance by 15% but also granted immunity to critical damage.
Furthermore, skills like *Claw Attack - Enhanced* and *Wing Attack - Enhanced* would further increase its own attack power!
The overall stats seemed unchanged.
But its attack power had been raised by a notch, further enhanced by the protection of the *Body Armament*.
Its true strength now actually surpassed his human state.
Rumble!
The Soul of Heroic Spirits flapped its draconic wings, its enormous body turning into a crimson afterimage as it collided with the Growth Heavenly King.
"*Slay Greed!*"
The flame greatsword slashed down on the Soul of Heroic Spirits, leaving a mark on the surface of the orange-red armor.
Swoosh!
The Soul of Heroic Spirits twisted its lower body, its thick dragon tail whipping out, creating a piercing sonic boom in the air.
With a loud "Bang!"
The Growth Heavenly King was knocked back by the tail lash, but with its damage reduction buff, it hadn't taken much damage.
The Soul of Heroic Spirits was once again entangled in a fierce fight with the Growth Heavenly King!
The intense collisions and roars were even more powerful than the commotion caused by the battle between the multitude of angels and summoned monsters against the Vast Eye Heavenly King.
"My Shadow Clone was destroyed earlier, and the one-hour cooldown isn't up yet. I'll have the Soul of Heroic Spirits hold the line for now."
Tang Zheng didn't join the fight. He knew that his physical attack methods had limited effect on the Growth Heavenly King. The purpose of summoning the Soul of Heroic Spirits was simply to buy himself time to recover.
"[Rapid Mana Recovery]!" Tang Zheng activated the skill.
This was a mana recovery method that didn't even exist in YGGDRASIL.
The only unfortunate thing was that it could only be used once per day, and while activating this skill, he could not move or engage in combat.
Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
In his field of vision, the two Heavenly Kings were each engaged in intense battles.
The Growth Heavenly King, wielding a flame longsword, displayed astonishing combat techniques.
The Vast Eye Heavenly King also continuously used summoning magic and even enhancement-type abilities to strengthen its summoned monsters.
Tang Zheng carefully observed the combat of the two Heavenly Kings, not just to gather information, but also to learn their fighting styles.
After all.
Before the arrival of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, opportunities to encounter a battle of this level were likely to be extremely limited!
"The Soul of Heroic Spirits is an artificial creature similar to a golem. No, it can't be viewed entirely as a golem."
Tang Zheng stared ahead, thinking to himself.
Since the Soul of Heroic Spirits was not a living being, healing magic like *Greater Healing* could not restore its HP.
Tang Zheng remembered that the Soul of Heroic Spirits's design was similar to artificial constructs like golems, and if such constructs were damaged, they required specialized 'repair' methods.
"I wonder if magic or skills for repairing golems even exist in this otherworld."
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind as he calmly observed the two Heavenly Kings' combat methods.
Half an hour passed quickly!
Growth Heavenly King (58%)
Vast Eye Heavenly King (45%)
The Soul of Heroic Spirits's combat methods were purely physical, and its damage to the Growth Heavenly King was truly limited.
Only the Vast Eye Heavenly King, facing a large number of magical attacks from the summoned creatures, saw its health bar further reduced. However, the summoned creatures had also been mostly wiped out.
Only a single level 70 angel remained, fighting against the Red Jiao-snake!
Both summoned creatures looked miserable.
The level 70 angel had three of its wings broken and its entire body was scorched black, while the Red Jiao-snake was covered in large and small pits and wounds, with blood continuously seeping out!
The Soul of Heroic Spirits's condition was equally bad. The *Body Armament* armor on its body was extensively damaged, revealing its pure-white form underneath.
[HP: 1125/1125 · MP: 854/918]
Tang Zheng's shoulders shook as he exited the mana recovery state.
"Should I deal with the Vast Eye Heavenly King first?"
Looking at the two Heavenly Kings' health bars, the Vast Eye Heavenly King seemed easier to handle.
"Yes, first I'll confirm if the damage from the previous magic has been reduced." Tang Zheng made up his mind and chose to cast a spell to test the waters. "[Heat Wave]!"
