Chapter 392: Defeating the Growth Heavenly King! The Mandala of Two Realms is Acquired
The afterimages from the swinging, flaming greatsword formed a blinding red light and wave after wave of scorching hot air.
*Swoosh—Swoosh—*
Tang Zheng flickered nimbly through the air, dodging the ferocious, continuous attacks. Thankfully, he wasn't a pure magic caster.
The skill, "Wrathful Aspect: Anger," should be able to inflict a dual effect of blindness and fire-attribute damage on the enemy.
Using the martial art "Mind's Eye," he could perceive the attack trajectory of the Growth Heavenly King's flaming greatsword with a unique sixth sense, avoiding the effect of "Blindness" on his vision.
As for the fire-attribute damage, he was completely immune to it.
"Ninjutsu: Immovable Body-Fixing Technique!" The shadow clone continued to cast binding-type ninjutsu.
The Growth Heavenly King halted his swing of the flaming greatsword. His powerful, continuous assault was interrupted, and his body once again floated motionlessly in mid-air.
An opening!
"Four Light Consecutive Slashes: Break!"
Tang Zheng swung Pain of Ice Fang, its icy-white tip glinting coldly as it slashed toward the Growth Heavenly King's palm.
The Soul of Heroic Spirits closed in simultaneously, its two dragon claws pressing down, ready to repeat the previous attack.
*Clang!*
A sound like metal striking a bell rang out about a fist's length from the Growth Heavenly King's body. It was a golden light barrier.
The tiger aspect totem flickered faintly!
"This is..."
Tang Zheng's eye twitched. A powerful recoil surged through the weapon in his hands, and he couldn't help but fall back. "It can reflect attacks."
Having been attacked, the Growth Heavenly King broke free from the ninjutsu's restraint. Seeing the Soul of Heroic Spirits right before him, he roared, "Wrathful Aspect: Cut Karma."
A golden slash cut through the sky.
*Boom!*
A loud bang erupted from the chest of the Soul of Heroic Spirits. Unable to withstand the accumulated damage any longer, the forty-meter-tall giant dragon's figure dissipated into a flash of white light.
Seeing his "trump card" skill dispelled, Tang Zheng's expression remained calm. After all, the Growth Heavenly King had 90% physical resistance; the fact that the Soul of Heroic Spirits had lasted long enough for him to deal with the Vast Eye Heavenly King was already impressive.
Right now, the Growth Heavenly King only had 39% of his health left!
"With such a defensive measure, trying to knock the weapon from the Growth Heavenly King's grasp again will be much more difficult."
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his gaze shifted.
"Then... it's time to switch to a battle of magical attrition!"
"Third Tier Magic: One-Sided Duel!"
When an opponent uses movement or teleportation-type magic, this spell allows the caster to be transported to the same destination along with them.
The target Tang Zheng cast this magic on was, naturally, not the Growth Heavenly King, but his shadow clone.
In YGGDRASIL, this magic had gone through some version updates. Originally, it could be cast on a teammate, allowing one to move together with them.
However, after the update, "One-Sided Duel" could only be used on enemies.
However!
In the Otherworld, the concept of being unable to harm "party members" with one's attacks didn't exist. Therefore, this magic could be used on anyone.
It was just like the guild system; NPCs created by players couldn't leave the guild in the game, but after arriving in the Otherworld, that restriction was gone.
This naturally led to some Tier Magic undergoing a certain degree of change!
"Teleportation!"
The shadow clone cast the magic.
Space contracted, and the shadow clone teleported to the northwesternmost corner of the spacious plaza. Under the effect of the "One-Sided Duel" magic, Tang Zheng was pulled along with it.
Tang Zheng currently had less than 300 points of magic power, while the shadow clone inherited his full mana bar. He chose this method of movement specifically to conserve magic power.
"Chain Lightning Dragon!" cast the shadow clone.
Tang Zheng also cast the magic: "Chain Lightning Dragon!"
To further conserve magic, Tang Zheng had to reduce the bonuses from his magical enhancements and use pure magical attacks.
*Rumble!*
Fierce lightning exploded against the Growth Heavenly King. The sky filled with blue arcs of electricity that dispersed into the air, turning into tiny electric snakes.
The health bar above the Growth Heavenly King's head flickered, but his health didn't even decrease by 1%.
"Wrathful Aspect: Greed!"
Red light erupted from the Growth Heavenly King's body. His massive, floating figure suddenly accelerated, rushing toward Tang Zheng and the shadow clone like a long rainbow.
This was a charge-type skill!
However, no matter how fast this type of skill was, how could it possibly compare to teleportation-type movement magic?
"Teleportation!"
The shadow clone's figure vanished, taking Tang Zheng with it as they reappeared in the southeast corner of the plaza.
The distance between them was re-established!
"Chain Wind Dragon."
"Chain Wind Dragon."
Struck by two fierce wind tornadoes, the Growth Heavenly King swayed unsteadily. He turned and charged again in a rage.
"Teleportation."
"Chain Earth Dragon."
"Chain Earth Dragon."
...
"Teleportation."
"..."
For a while, the entire alternate dimension constantly echoed with the Growth Heavenly King's furious roars, the sound of magic chanting, and flashes of rainbow light that continuously changed direction in the air.
Tang Zheng was clearly employing an extremely simple game strategy, commonly known as "kiting."
Thankfully, he had first eliminated the two Heavenly Kings with complex and support-type skills, Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Heavenly King) and Vaiśravaṇa (Heavenly King).
They possessed healing and various support effects; they might have even been able to seal his teleportation magic!
"This time it's a water-attribute magic attack. The damage is higher."
Tang Zheng was constantly switching between different magic attributes for his attacks, and he finally determined that the water attribute had the best damage effect.
Soon, one "Chain Water Dragon" spell after another continuously bombarded the Growth Heavenly King in mid-air.
Theoretically, no opponent could have perfect countermeasures for every single attribute; in other words, a limit existed!
A 7th Tier magic spell cost 35 points of magic power, but Tang Zheng had a passive that reduced the cost, so he only needed to spend 20 points.
Even so, the magical bombardment continued for half an hour.
Tang Zheng's magic power was the first to run low. Meanwhile, the Growth Heavenly King's (32%) health bar had only been depleted by 7%. His second form had clearly gained some damage reduction.
His mana bar was empty.
The special skill "Mana Rapid Recovery" had also been used.
Facing this situation, Tang Zheng, with a calm expression, reached out his hand and grasped at the air, retrieving a magic item from his item box—the "Orb of Death," which resembled an ordinary stone and emitted a faint blue light.
He hadn't used this magic item in a while, so it still contained a full 300 points of magic power.
"Chain Water Dragon."
"Chain Water Dragon."
"Teleportation."
With a loud *rumble*, the battle between them resumed without a pause, and the kiting strategy continued.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
