Chapter 89: Summons Gain Experience from Kills - Ovum of Viscera, Corpse-eater

In an instant!
Centered on Khajiit, an astonishing amount of magical power erupted from his body, forming a pure wave of negative energy that rapidly spread in all directions.
Tang Zheng's gaze sharpened as he watched his opponent warily.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two Guardian Angels flapped their wings, positioning themselves in front of Tang Zheng to block the diffusing wave of negative energy.
Thump!
A peculiar tremor came from beneath the ground.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Rotting arms suddenly burst from the ground, clawing at the earth as they pulled themselves up.
A single glance revealed undead figures everywhere. Some even clawed their way out of tombstones, dragging their mangled bodies as they crawled forward on their arms.
Plop!
An undead zombie's arm burst from the ground beneath Tang Zheng's feet, but in the next instant, one of the Guardian Angels thrust its spear into the earth, killing it.
"Gained Experience: 1"
[Experience Bar: 171/10000]
*Huh?*
Tang Zheng paused his retreat. *Could the angels I summoned also gain experience from killing enemies?*
*Indeed, I haven't tested this yet!*
*This means I can rely entirely on my summons to gain a significant amount of experience in the future.*
*One experience point?*
*These summoned undead are indeed low-tier, but one experience point is still too little. Does the experience gained by summons suffer some kind of penalty? Or does the experience from low-level creatures decrease as my own level rises?*
Tang Zheng temporarily suppressed these thoughts. Now was not the time to ponder such things.
"Roar!"
"Hiss!"
"Groan!"
A dense swarm of undead had already appeared within Tang Zheng's line of sight. From what he could see, their numbers already exceeded one hundred.
"Undead Control!"
A faint smile touched Khajiit's ashen face. "Did you think having your companions lure away that group of undead would be enough?"
"This is a graveyard. The one thing we don't lack is corpses!"
"Kill him for me!"
At Khajiit's command, the massive number of undead swarmed toward Tang Zheng from all directions.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two Guardian Angels before Tang Zheng gripped their spears. With a flap of their bright yellow wings, they swung their spearheads—glowing with a divine light—and destroyed all the approaching undead.
"Gained Experience: 1"
"Gained Experience: 1"
"..."
Tang Zheng remained calm, his gaze fixed on Khajiit, who stood on the temple steps.
"They're just a horde of the lowest-level zombies. Numbers are meaningless," Tang Zheng said calmly.
He knew Khajiit was likely probing him while secretly preparing some other trick.
"Is that so?" Khajiit sneered.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, a slick, blood-red intestine shot out from the horde of low-tier zombies, coiling around the Guardian Angel whose armor was already being corroded.
Bang!
The long intestine suddenly tensed, forcefully pulling the Guardian Angel to the ground with a dull thud.
The next moment!
A swarm of low-tier zombies quickly overwhelmed the Guardian Angel.
The attack power of these ordinary zombies was not enough to break through the Guardian Angel's defense, but the negative energy they emanated could cause severe damage to an angelic summon.
Bang!
This Guardian Angel held on for only a moment before dissipating into countless motes of light.
Tang Zheng finally got a clear look at the undead.
It was an egg-shaped human corpse with a large, horizontal slit across its middle. Through the opening, writhing internal organs, much like a normal human's, could be seen.
The intestine that struck earlier had shot out from inside.
Low-Tier Undead—Ovum of Viscera!
The sight was so disgusting that Tang Zheng couldn't help but frown.
At the same time, from among the horde of zombies, six undead with completely rotten, dark-yellow skin sprang from the ground. Moving with incredible speed, they seized the other Guardian Angel hovering in mid-air.
Low-Tier Undead—Corpse-eater!
This Guardian Angel, just like the first, was forcibly dragged to the ground and dissipated under the siege of the swarming low-tier undead.
In a short while, both Guardian Angels had vanished, and Khajiit had dealt with them at minimal cost.
He hadn't broken through their defenses head-on, but rather used the erosion of negative energy and its inherent advantage against angelic creatures.
Such tactics indicated that Khajiit had a deep understanding of angelic summons!
"If these are your only methods, it's already too late to kneel and beg for mercy, foolish one."
Khajiit proudly raised his head, looking down from the temple steps at Tang Zheng in the distance.
He naturally understood faith-based magic casters very well—because he once was one!
However... faith-based resurrection magic could not save his mother, who was an ordinary human.
To research higher-level resurrection magic required an immense amount of time, but humans simply didn't possess long enough lifespans for such an endeavor.
Since that was the case, he would abandon his humanity and the power of the faith-based magic he had mastered!
He would use a vast amount of negative energy to transform himself into a true undead. In this process, anyone who stood in his way had only one path available to them!
"Then die," Khajiit spoke coldly.
Swoosh!
The surrounding undead surged towards Tang Zheng in a great wave.
Whoosh!
A gory intestine shot forth, and the six Corpse-eaters also charged forward.
"This boring little test ends now." As he spoke, a magic scroll appeared in each of Tang Zheng's hands, which had been hidden beneath his black robe.
He crushed them firmly!
Two dazzling white lights condensed before him.
Following that, a blaze of fire erupted in the air!
The intestine shot from the Ovum of Viscera was severed by a flaming sword, turning to ash under the scorching heat.
The six Corpse-eaters charging from behind were blocked by an angelic figure. The flaming sword then struck down repeatedly, and the six Corpse-eaters dissipated on the spot!
Hooo~
A soft breeze blew.
Two Flame Archangels hovered to Tang Zheng's left and right, their magical longswords blazing with divine flames. In the black of night, they shone like two bright beacons.
They illuminated the entire area where Tang Zheng stood.
The powerful divine aura and the heat from their scorching flame swords made the surrounding, surging low-tier undead hesitate, not daring to approach.
Tang Zheng, completely wrapped in a black robe and hidden within a large cloak that obscured his face, now exuded a divine and mysterious aura, accentuated by the two Flame Archangels.
This was a striking contrast to Khajiit, who stood surrounded by zombies, clad in a blood-red magic robe, looking utterly sinister.
