Double Attack, Troublesome Guy Shrink
The Dark Wave's released jet-black Curse Power contained two negative effects: "Fear" and "Weakness Curse."
These two effects created a negative state that would force the opponent into "limited action."
This was also why the Petrification Lizard was stiff and unmoving.
"No Curse Resistance."
Tang Zheng looked at the Petrification Lizard, which was emitting a fishy smell and thick liquid, and was only about half a meter away from him. He reached out and grabbed.
An Iron Sword appeared in his hand.
"Rapid Slash!"
A cold gleam flashed on the sword, and a black Curse Power wrapped around the Iron Sword. With Tang Zheng's swing, it slashed at the Petrification Lizard's protruding head.
In an instant! The two negative states wrapped around the Petrification Lizard came into contact with the Curse Power on the Iron Sword, forming a jet-black mist-like energy that caused powerful destruction along the path of the blade.
The "Dark Wave's" other characteristic was activated, the negative state was removed, and double damage was dealt.
Puchi!
Most of the Petrification Lizard's head was easily split open.
Seeing such destructive power, Tang Zheng was taken aback. He quickly looked at the Petrification Lizard, afraid that his attack would kill the humanoid Demon Creature that had transformed into the Petrification Lizard.
He still wanted to get some useful information from it.
Kacha!
The Petrification Lizard's split head did not splatter blood or disgusting substances. Instead, a sound similar to something breaking came from inside the Petrification Lizard's body.
Gulu Gulu~ The huge Petrification Lizard began to collapse rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, it turned back into its original humanoid Demon Creature form and fell from the air to the ground.
Kacha!
Another sound of something breaking rang out. This time, it was the Iron Sword in Tang Zheng's hand.
Under the erosion of the Curse Power, it was directly damaged after launching one attack.
"Curse..."
"Pain, pain..."
The humanoid Demon Creature rolled around on the ground in pain. The black spots dotted on its bark-like, earth-brown skin squirmed as if they were alive.
"What is this?" Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed.
The large areas of black spots on this humanoid creature were not decorations or natural, but a Rotting Curse similar to Renners' situation.
However, compared to Renners, this humanoid Demon Creature was covered in fragments of rot, but it was not as severe as Renners.
"Enemy, enemy!"
The humanoid Demon Creature struggled to get up. A pair of green, bloodshot eyes emerged from its dense hair, looking at Tang Zheng with resentment.
"A Li Wa!!"
The humanoid Demon Creature let out a sharp, strangely intoned cry. With the blessing of Mana, the sound quickly spread into the forest.
Even if this world had rules for automatically translating languages, the words spoken in this strange tone were still incomprehensible.
『Discovered Second Tier Magic "Ally Summons", requires Faith-based Magic Caster Level (8~14), current conditions met』
『Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?』
Whirr! A large number of dense, subtle sounds began to come from the dense forest. Strange Demon Creatures of various sizes with spider-like shapes and lobster shells surged through layers of branches and bushes.
*"Blood Boiling!"* The humanoid Demon Creature released magic again, but this time the magic was blessed on this group of insect Demon Creatures, "Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
The insect Demon Creatures, the large ones more than a meter long and the small ones only a few centimeters, were dyed blood red, and their crawling speed obviously accelerated.
"Competing in numbers?"
Tang Zheng glanced at the dense swarm of insect-type Demon Creatures surging from all directions, and a stack of Magic Scrolls was pinched open in his sleeve.
Bright white light flickered continuously!
Tang Zheng summoned ten Flame Archangels in one breath, instantly consuming half of the more than 30 Flame Archangel scrolls he had stored.
"Kill them all!"
Tang Zheng waved his hand, and all the Flame Archangels immediately pounced on the surrounding insect-type Demon Creatures.
[Gained Experience: 17]
[Gained Experience: 3]
[Gained Experience: 56]
[......]
[Gained Experience: 12]
On the stat panel, experience gain information was constantly refreshed.
Tang Zheng exerted force under his feet, stepped on the Surveillance Authority Angel's shoulder and soared into the air. An Iron Sword reappeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the humanoid Demon Creature.
"Mana Slash!"
A blue light flashed on the Iron Sword, and a translucent slash was released from the tip of the sword! Crack!
The Iron Sword shattered again.
Tang Zheng didn't care. After his figure landed steadily in the air, he flipped his palm and another Iron Sword appeared.
He had purchased a batch of this cheap weapon.
Boom! Wherever the translucent Mana Slash passed, the branches and trees in front were cut off with one blow, leaving smooth cuts.
However! The humanoid Demon Creature actually avoided the Mana Slash attack with its agile speed.
"Is such speed a racial talent?"
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed as he saw the opponent's agile and petite body.
He had noticed that the opponent possessed excellent physical agility, and had been able to handle the siege of two Flame Archangels with ease.
"Stealth!"
Thief-type Skill! Tang Zheng's body swayed, and in the already deep and dark jungle, his body instantly disappeared from the humanoid Demon Creature's sight.
Seeing the disappearing Tang Zheng.
The humanoid Demon Creature hurriedly and frantically looked around. At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadows, appearing out of thin air beside the humanoid Demon Creature.
"Enemy!"
The humanoid Demon Creature screamed sharply, and its agile body dodged backward.
"Four Light Consecutive Slash!"
The Iron Sword in Tang Zheng's hand instantly turned into four afterimages, slashing down in mid-air.
At such a close distance, coupled with four consecutive slashes, even with the agile body displayed by the humanoid Demon Creature, it could only barely dodge one attack.
"Shrink!"
The humanoid Demon Creature shouted, and its already small body, only about sixty centimeters tall, was suddenly reduced to thirty centimeters.
The even smaller body caused all four of Tang Zheng's prepared slashes to miss! "This guy." The corner of Tang Zheng's eye twitched.
It was definitely the most difficult opponent he had encountered so far.
"Instant Reflex!"
Tang Zheng shouted in a low voice, and a layer of blue light appeared all over his body, forcibly returning his body to the posture before the attack. Then, his eyes turned cold, "Four Light Consecutive Slash."
Four cold slashes reappeared in the air, enveloping the humanoid Demon Creature!
However! The humanoid Demon Creature directly dodged the four slashes this time at twice the speed as before.
In the blink of an eye.
The humanoid Demon Creature had already distanced itself from Tang Zheng, and in another breath, it appeared two meters away.
"Plant Entanglement!"
Whoosh! The weeds in the forest suddenly grew wildly, transforming into vines that swept towards Tang Zheng, who was standing in place.
Buzz—
The bone Magic Item hanging on Tang Zheng's arm, possessing the ability of Forest Traversal, flickered slightly.
All the sweeping plant vines stopped in front of Tang Zheng, unable to continue their attack.
"Curse, enemy!"
"Enemy!"
The humanoid Demon Creature kept screaming, trying to control the plants to continue attacking Tang Zheng, but it was always unable to break through the range of the Forest Traversal ability.
Tang Zheng stood up straight, his gaze fixed on the screaming humanoid Demon Creature opposite him.
"Not only has its body shrunk, but its speed has also increased significantly?"
Judging from the speed the opponent had just displayed, he knew very well that he couldn't catch up with it at all. The only thing he was glad about was that the opponent was a Magic Caster, not a Warrior.
Otherwise, with the opponent's current speed, he would be the one in danger.
Tang Zheng's mind flickered, and the information on the attribute panel quickly appeared in front of him.
