Chapter 393: The Effects of a World-Class Item, Mage Guild
Lower Wind Month, June 25th.
Imperia Kingdom
The sky was gray and overcast, completely blocking the sun. The air was a little damp from a recent light rain.
A faint, humid, and putrid stench of decay permeated the entire abandoned royal capital.
As an undead, Evileye was unconcerned by such trivialities. Beneath her mask, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she looked with satisfaction at the magic ritual she had just finished setting up.
"A 21st success. I've completely mastered it."
Evileye muttered to herself, her tone joyful.
She had always focused on the research and study of magic, so she knew very little about "magic rituals." To have mastered this powerful ritual in just over ten days was a cause for great celebration.
*I owe it all to the legacy left behind by that undead,* Evileye thought to herself.
The vast amount of magical materials consumed while researching the ritual during this period had all come from the legacy of the undead that the Dragon Lord had killed.
*However, to truly master this ritual...*
*According to the Dragon Lord's instructions, I still need to learn the magic enhancement technique known as "Magic Ascension."*
Evileye looked at the completed magic ritual before her, her crimson eyes flickering behind her mask with a hint of anticipation.
Her long life experience had always led her to believe that a woman should empower herself, rather than learning the art of charming men to gain their protection.
If she could completely master this ritual!
She would be able to wield the power of seventh-tier magic. It was said that the guardian of the Baharuth Empire had only mastered sixth-tier magic, and he had lived far longer than she.
Of course.
Evileye knew that in a direct battle, the guardian, Fluder, would be no match for her.
This wasn't a matter of Talent or effort!
Sometimes, Evileye felt that becoming an undead might not have been such a bad thing.
But!
She would never be grateful to the evil True Dragon Lord who turned her and everyone else into undead. She just didn't like hating herself.
*It's been a month since I left. I wonder how everyone in Blue Rose is doing.*
Evileye thought silently.
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra must be very worried about her. She wanted to go back, but there were more important things to do now.
Through her contact with the Abyssal Body, Evileye grew increasingly suspicious. Was the Dragon Lord hiding behind this organization, controlling them, the same True Dragon Lord who had destroyed their country?
She had to find out!
"Oh."
A placid voice suddenly echoed from mid-air.
Evileye spun around abruptly, chanting in a low voice toward the direction of the sound, "Crystal Dagger!"
Swish! Swish!
Translucent crystal coalesced into daggers and shot out at high speed.
The attack missed.
There was no one in the direction the voice had come from.
"Lord... Dragon Lord?"
Evileye took a small step back, her guard still up as she tentatively inquired.
"You've been working hard. You've already completely mastered the 'Magic Ascension Ritual'."
Tang Zheng, having used Ninjutsu: Concealment to render himself invisible, stood not far away. He glanced at the magic ritual Evileye had constructed and gave an almost imperceptible nod.
This time, he had not transformed into a great dragon but had appeared in his normal human form.
Before this.
Even when invisible, Tang Zheng had always maintained his dragon form as a precaution, to avoid exposing his human identity in case of an unexpected situation.
But now!
With the World-Class Item, the Mandala of Two Realms, in hand, he finally didn't need to be so overly cautious, even if he were to suddenly encounter a True Dragon Lord.
With "World Protection," the inherent attribute of a World-Class Item, Tang Zheng was confident he could handle such a sudden event without worrying about being affected by Wild Magic.
When facing an enemy or a True Dragon Lord who possessed a World-Class Item, having one yourself versus not having one were two completely different concepts!
"Lord Dragon Lord, you've returned."
Evileye's tense body relaxed. She spoke with pleasant surprise, then asked with some curiosity:
"Lord Dragon Lord, did you find that place?"
He had been gone for over ten days and had now returned.
There was probably a result.
Evileye was equally curious about that place called the "Holy Sanctuary" or "Buddhist Domain." It was likely related to the god known as the "Buddha God."
After all, this powerful Dragon Lord had offered knowledge like the "Magic Ascension Ritual," which allowed one to use tier magic power beyond one's level, in exchange for it.
No matter how you analyzed it, it had to be something extraordinary.
"I did not."
Tang Zheng feigned a disappointed sigh, not admitting to any gains.
Although, the gains were terrifyingly huge!
Tang Zheng's gaze subconsciously shifted to his waist, to the area covered by his clothing.
The Mandala of Two Realms, a five-colored scroll, was rolled up like a magic scroll and tied to his waist.
It wasn't that he didn't want to store it in his item box.
It simply couldn't be stored!
To put it simply, the "rank" of a World-Class Item was higher than a player's storage space could contain; it could only be carried on one's person.
The abilities of the Mandala of Two Realms were not complex. Apart from the "World Protection" effect that all World-Class Items possessed...
...it could forcibly pull an opponent into one of the two alternate dimensions within the Mandala of Two Realms: the "Vajradhatu Mandala" or the "Garbhadhatu Mandala."
If the opponent could defeat the four Heavenly Kings, the ownership of the Mandala of Two Realms would automatically transfer.
This point was somewhat similar to another World-Class Item, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, but also completely different.
As the wielder of the Mandala of Two Realms, Tang Zheng could choose to expel the enemy from the alternate dimension at any time.
In other words!
As long as Tang Zheng wished it, it was impossible for an enemy to defeat the four Heavenly Kings in both Mandala spaces simultaneously.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers was different. If an enemy intentionally entered it, the item's wielder could not forcibly expel them. As long as the enemy escaped from the alternate dimension, ownership would transfer directly.
It was hard to judge which of the two items was superior.
The Mandala of Two Realms only had two alternate dimensions, while the Map of Mountains and Rivers had a hundred different spaces.
However!
Tang Zheng felt that the Mandala of Two Realms offered much more room for manipulation. The reason he had only just returned was that he had spent the last few days studying this World-Class Item.
For example, when pulling an enemy into a Mandala space, Tang Zheng, as the wielder, could also enter to fight alongside the two Heavenly Kings.
Although the Heavenly Kings were only Level 85, they possessed a terrifying "-90% Physical Damage or Magic Damage" buff, making their strength in combat no less than that of two Level 100 beings.
Furthermore.
