Renners's Surprise, Anomaly! The Restlessness of Curse Power
# 110 Renners's Surprise, Anomaly! The Turmoil of Curse Power
"Roar!"
The Swamp Maw shook off the mud from its body. Its two fist-sized, enormous beast eyes were filled with cruelty as it stared at Tang Zheng and Renners, roared, and charged forward with its bloody maw wide open.
Bang! The Flame Archangel that hadn't been knocked away rushed forward, wielding the Flame Sword with all its might, heavily slashing at the Swamp Maw's head.
However...
The Swamp Maw, covered in layers of thick mud and moss, was completely unharmed by the Flame Sword's attacks of flame and holy energy.
The only effect was that the force of the Flame Sword's slash momentarily halted the Swamp Maw's advance.
"Roar!"
The Swamp Maw twisted its head, brushing aside the Flame Sword that had struck its head, and simultaneously raised its thick, sturdy forelimbs, forcefully swatting at the Flame Archangel.
Flutter!
The Flame Archangel flapped its wings, soaring into the air to evade the Swamp Maw's attack.
At the same time...
The other Flame Archangel, which had been knocked away, flew back and joined the attack.
Under the assault of the two Flame Archangels.
The Swamp Maw had no choice but to stop in its tracks, roaring loudly as it swung its forelimbs and tail in retaliation, but against the flying Flame Archangels, its attacks were mostly in vain.
For a time, neither side could overcome the other, resulting in a stalemate.
Seeing this scene.
Renners's eyes revealed a look of surprise. These two Flame Archangels were so strong.
The Swamp Maw was one of the top-tier magical beasts in this swamp, and it would take at least a Mithril Rank Adventurer team to contend with it.
But now! Just two Flame Archangels were forcing the Swamp Maw into a defensive position. If the Swamp Maw wasn't naturally thick-skinned and covered in layers of swamp mud as armor.
These two Flame Archangels could probably kill the Swamp Maw.
"Attack its eyes," Tang Zheng's voice came from behind.
The two Flame Archangels paused their somewhat chaotic attacks, simultaneously turned their wings, and attacked the Swamp Maw's eyes.
In just a moment.
The Swamp Maw let out a painful roar, its body twisting wildly as it retreated.
But how could Tang Zheng let this experience that had come to his door run away? Magical beasts around level 20 were rare.
Under Tang Zheng's deliberate control, the two Flame Archangels took advantage of the openings revealed when the blinded Swamp Maw retreated after having its eyes injured.
The two Flame Swords simultaneously pierced into the Swamp Maw's head through its eyes! "Aowu!!"
The Swamp Maw's entire body trembled violently, its mournful scream abruptly stopped, and it collapsed to the ground with a crash.
『Gained Experience: 3103』
[Experience Bar: 7405/10000]
Tang Zheng's mood instantly improved when he saw the surge of experience on the panel.
Looking at the Swamp Maw's corpse, he couldn't help but feel a little regret.
If Renners wasn't by his side, he would have stored the Swamp Maw's corpse.
Magical beasts that reached level 20, although they didn't have any special abilities, their thick skin and flesh were much better than the Ogre corpses stored in his Item Box.
As material for Undead Manipulation, it was still quite good.
Renners took a deep breath, turned to the side, and looked at Tang Zheng, her blue pupils revealing a complex expression: "Who exactly are you?"
It wasn't that the Flame Archangels were strong!
It was that the summoner himself was strong, which allowed him to summon powerful summons.
With the other party's strength, coupled with the Alchemy skills he had displayed before, he shouldn't be unknown.
Tang Zheng, who was regretting the Swamp Maw's corpse, suddenly heard Renners's question and didn't react for a moment, but after noticing Renners's surprised gaze.
...
Realizing something, Tang Zheng shrugged.
"Genius Alchemist, Faith-Based Magic Caster, or..."
Tang Zheng shrugged, reached out and picked up the Copper Rank badge hanging on his waist, half-jokingly, "Copper Rank Adventurer."
Renners didn't find the first two titles problematic, but upon hearing the last one, the corners of her rosy lips twitched violently.
"If I were the Guild Master of the Adventurer's Guild, I would definitely change the rule that Adventurers must complete tasks to increase their Adventurer Rank," Renners said through gritted teeth.
"Ancient rules have survived to this day for a reason," Tang Zheng chuckled. "I think the Adventurer's Guild's rule is quite good."
It seemed inhumane that some powerful individuals had to start as low-ranked Adventurers and complete tasks.
However, from the perspective of those in power, this seemingly inhumane rule was a screening process.
His half-joking tone dispelled the sense of estrangement that had just arisen in Renners' heart.
"Let's go."
Tang Zheng raised his hand.
Two Flame Archangels flew over, and they continued to fly deeper into the swamp in the same manner.
As they gradually went deeper, the swampy terrain began to disappear, and the bushes grew taller, revealing a deep jungle area.
"Goo—Goo—"
"Roar—Doo—"
"......"
Accompanying this were the cries of various beasts or magical creatures from the depths of the jungle.
A faint white mist appeared in the air.
"It's getting foggy," Renners said with a solemn expression, reminding him.
"Then let's descend."
Tang Zheng also noticed a huge cloud of mist in the distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two Flame Archangels descended from the air with Tang Zheng and Renners, landing in an area overgrown with weeds.
"Hmph!"
As soon as Renners landed, she suddenly let out a soft groan, pressing her right hand against her cheek, which was covered by golden hair, and moaned in pain.
A piece of rotting flesh that was not completely covered was exposed to the air, and it could be clearly seen that it was wriggling slightly.
Tang Zheng also felt the abnormality.
To be precise, he noticed that his own Curse Power seemed to be agitated as well.
There's something wrong with this place! Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Renners. "Are you okay?"
"This... this place gives me the same feeling as the magical creature that attacked me," Renners said, removing her hand from her right cheek, enduring the ant-like gnawing pain, and raising her head with a cold look in her eyes.
"Ho-ho!"
"Ho-ho!"
"Ho-ho!"
The low growls of beasts came from the bushes not far away.
Immediately after!
Three magical creatures, about the size of adult Evil Spirit Dogs but with monstrous appearances, emerged from the bushes.
Seeing the appearance of these monsters,
Tang Zheng subconsciously frowned. These three monsters were just too ugly and bizarre.
They had humanoid heads, but their teeth were extremely sharp. Their bodies were similar to lions, and their humanoid heads were covered in sideburns.
Most bizarrely, the monsters' tails were like scorpions, covered in spikes, and they even had bat-like wings on their backs.
At first glance,
they looked like a combination of several types of monsters.
"The strange monsters you mentioned aren't these, are they?" Tang Zheng asked, looking at these three completely monstrous creatures.
"No."
Renners raised her black spear and shook her head. "No, these three monsters are Manticores."
"Be careful, their tails can launch spikes. I'll take one, and the remaining two are yours!"
As soon as Renners finished speaking, she charged towards the Manticore on the far right with her spear.
Since entering the swamp, she hadn't been much help, so these three monsters were perfect for her to take one down.
"They look so bizarre, and they're still not it?" Tang Zheng waved his arm.
Two Flame Archangels immediately rushed towards the other Manticores.
The battle was completely disproportionate to the monsters' bizarre appearances. In just a moment, all three Manticores were killed in succession.
『Experience gained: 286』
『Experience gained: 301』
[Experience Bar: 7992/10000]
Tang Zheng glanced at the Experience Points gained. Their strength was similar to that of Ogres.
Huh? Tang Zheng was suddenly stunned. He clearly felt a trace of Curse Power dissipate from the two Manticores after they died.
And this Curse Power was actually absorbed by him.
Tang Zheng quickly checked his attribute panel and found that neither the Experience Points nor any other data had changed.
But he clearly felt that the Curse Power within him had indeed increased slightly.
"Ah!"
Renners, holding her blood-stained spear, suddenly let out a scream.
Tang Zheng's expression changed, and he quickly rushed over. When he saw the look on Renners' face, his eyes narrowed.
The curse, which had only covered half of her face, was now spreading towards her right cheek.
Seeing this change,
Tang Zheng realized that not only had he absorbed the Curse Power, but Renners had absorbed it as well! Or rather,
only someone with the [Cursed Knight] class could sense this Curse Power.
