Chapter 391: Defeating the Vast Eye Heavenly King, It's Now Three Against One
A serpent phantom was coiled around the Vast Eye Heavenly King. He clenched his fists, slammed them toward the ground, and an invisible airwave splashed out as he roared in fury:
“You persist in your foolishness! Be eternally damned to the Pupil of the Vast Eye!”
*Rumble~*
The serpent phantom spiraled, and a yellow-brown vertical pupil appeared above the Vast Eye Heavenly King's head, its emotionless, cold gaze fixed upon Tang Zheng.
In that instant.
Tang Zheng's heart couldn't help but pound. An intense sense of crisis surged into his mind—it was the aura of death.
It was an ability with an instant death effect!
“Impure Impact Shield!”
Tang Zheng's eyes turned sharp. He pressed his body down, activating a skill from his [Valkyrie] class.
A crimson-black shockwave, like flowing blood, formed a circular barrier centered on Tang Zheng and expanded outward.
The ability released by his opponent was directly neutralized!
The [Impure Impact Shield] was a skill that combined offense and defense, capable of nullifying any attack or effect. Its practicality was extremely high, but unfortunately, it could only be used twice a day.
Tang Zheng usually kept it as one of his trump cards, second only to his ultimate ace.
As for countering the "instant death effect," he also had the [Armlet of Death Protection], a magic item that could provide resistance.
However.
Tang Zheng could sense an intense danger. The skill released by that snake pupil above the Vast Eye Heavenly King's head likely contained more than just an instant death effect.
In YGGDRASIL, countermeasures against instant death were part of a Player's standard loadout. As a boss derived from a World-Class Item, the probability that a skill which looked like an ultimate move also possessed other effects was very high!
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Suddenly, high-pitched roars echoed from the sky above.
The Red Jiao-snake and the Green Jiao-snake, two Level 80 monsters, broke free from the entanglement of numerous angels and charged straight toward the Vast Eye Heavenly King from the air.
Two afterimages, one red and one green, descended rapidly!
In the blink of an eye.
The two Jiao-snakes, each with a single horn on its head and feathered wings, appeared on the left and right sides behind the Vast Eye Heavenly King.
“Hiss~”
The snake-shaped magic item lying on the Vast Eye Heavenly King's shoulder twitched at its stomach and opened its mouth once more.
A small snake flew out, rapidly expanding in mid-air, and quickly transformed into a Jiao-snake with black scales.
In just a moment.
The Vast Eye Heavenly King, clad in purple-gold scale mail with a serpent phantom coiled around him, now had three Level 80 Jiao-snake monsters circling behind him.
His massive, over-five-meter-tall frame, paired with his reddened eyes, made the Vast Eye Heavenly King's image appear extremely ferocious and terrifying!
“He summoned another Level 80 monster!”
Tang Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, but his gaze forward was calm. There was no excessive surprise or panic.
He had already speculated that after the Vast Eye Heavenly King's health dropped below 80%, he would summon a Level 80 monster for every 20% of health lost.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
One after another, sacred, holy figures also descended from the sky, hovering above Tang Zheng's head.
Of the more than 400 angels summoned by two uses of [Armageddon (Good)], only a dozen or so remained; the rest had all been destroyed.
And these remaining angels were naturally the ones with the highest levels: two Level 70 angels, four Level 60 angels, and eight Level 50 angels.
[Serpent Swarm Surging]!
The Vast Eye Heavenly King raised his arms high, and a gigantic magic circle materialized before him.
The next moment.
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
Eight Level 50 crimson giant pythons slithered out from the magic circle, hissing as they opened their cavernous maws.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. “This magic has been enhanced as well.”
At first, this magic could only summon four giant pythons, then it was six, and now it had become eight!
On the ground.
Tang Zheng and the Vast Eye Heavenly King faced each other from a distance, with numerous summoned creatures hovering before each of them—an astonishing and powerful sight.
*Hiss—Hiss—* *Flap—Flap—*
The hissing of flickering snake tongues and the vibrating flap of angel wings clashed in the air between them!
“Three Level 80 monsters, eight Level 50 giant pythons, plus support-type summoning methods…”
Tang Zheng grinned, holding the Pain of Ice Fang, a hint of composure in his calm eyes.
Good thing he wasn't a pure warrior or a magic-type Player!
Just this number of high-level monsters would force even a Level 100 Player to expend quite a few skills to clear them out.
Not to mention, both Heavenly Kings had corresponding buffs specifically designed to counter warriors or magic-type Players!
“Facing three Level 80 monsters is indeed a headache, but as long as I can eliminate you, the Summoner Heavenly King, before these angels are completely destroyed, it will be enough.”
Tang Zheng glanced at the other battlefield from the corner of his eye. The Soul of Heroic Spirits was already at a precarious disadvantage.
Fortunately.
Relying on the buffs from its Dragon Lord form and the innate flight ability of a Dragon Lord, it could barely manage to keep the Growth Heavenly King entangled.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he swept his arm down. “I've gathered enough information. It's time to end the battle over here.”
The angels hovering above his head flew out simultaneously!
The signal for battle was lit.
*Boom—Rumble!*
The two Level 70 angels engaged the Red Jiao-snake and the Green Jiao-snake respectively, while the four Level 60 angels worked together to hold back the newly summoned Black Jiao-snake!
The eight Level 50 angels confronted the eight Level 50 crimson giant pythons!
The moment the two sides clashed!
A fierce collision instantly resounded through the sky.
Comparing the strength of the summoned creatures, his side was clearly at a disadvantage. In truth, Tang Zheng could still cast his normal summoning magic and call forth three Level 64 summoned monsters.
With their help, he could quickly eliminate the eight Level 50 crimson giant pythons, and the remaining angels could then unite against the three Jiao-snakes.
But he chose not to do so.
First, to conserve magic power.
Second, Tang Zheng had long since discovered that the monsters summoned by the Vast Eye Heavenly King would produce some kind of effect upon death, to varying degrees.
Just in case.
Tang Zheng only needed the angels to hold back these monsters, allowing him to fight the summoner, the Vast Eye Heavenly King, directly.
[Teleportation]
The space around Tang Zheng contracted. He vanished from his spot and reappeared in a blind spot behind the Vast Eye Heavenly King.
“Magic Resistance Penetration: Chain Earth Dragon!”
An earth-brown, dragon-shaped rock tore through the air and slammed violently into the Vast Eye Heavenly King's back.
*Bang!*
The Vast Eye Heavenly King (15%) staggered forward. His red-glowing eyes turned, filled with fury, as a golden light emanated from his body.
“Hiss… Roar!”
The three Jiao-snakes and eight crimson giant pythons all tried to return to the Vast Eye Heavenly King's position at once, but they were immediately intercepted by all the angels.
“The magic damage has been reduced. Did the serpent phantom coiled around the Vast Eye Heavenly King increase his defense?”
Tang Zheng noted the abnormally low damage and continued to cast magic with a deadpan expression:
“Magic Resistance Penetration: Chain Earth Dragon!”
Another attack!
The Vast Eye Heavenly King was injured again. Seemingly realizing his summoned creatures couldn't return, he began to retreat to create distance while simultaneously activating a skill:
“Snake Fang Barrage!”
Twelve snake fangs, each as thick as an arm, materialized in mid-air and shot rapidly toward Tang Zheng.
[Teleportation]
Tang Zheng activated Teleportation to dodge. After reappearing, he continued to attack with magic:
“Magic Resistance Penetration: Chain Earth Dragon!”
The Vast Eye Heavenly King, with only about 10% of his health left, was gradually worn down by Tang Zheng's magic. Without his summoned creatures to protect him.
His health dropped even further!
