Khajiit became more and more fervent as he spoke, an extremely sinister smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
He originally thought that Tang Zheng's cooperation with him was to restart the arrangement in the "E-Rantel" 's "common cemetery."
But the other party brought him into the Abelion Hills, a place ruled by various Demi-human Races. What he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng had already mastered a Demi-human force here.
Chaos, death, and strife! These are the true main themes of the Abelion Hills.
Compared to hiding in "E-Rantel," there was no need to worry about these things here at all.
"Jie jie ha, this place is simply wonderful."
Khajiit stood on the hill, gazing at the vast Hills in the distance, and couldn't help but open his arms to embrace this chaotic place. His former goal was to accumulate power to destroy the entire "E-Rantel," creating a city of the dead. He didn't even care about humans, let alone these Demi-humans.
Excitement aside.
Khajiit was well aware that he could safely arrange the "Spiral of Death Ritual" because of the mysterious man in front of him.
Without the Demi-human tribes controlled by the other party, let alone collecting a large number of Demi-human corpses, he wouldn't be able to survive for more than a few days with his strength.
"Hero Domain" is too strong!
This was a level he desperately longed to reach, belonging to the top experts in various countries, and even able to become the subject of Minstrel songs.
Who exactly is the other party, and why has he never heard of him?
Khajiit flashed this thought. His smooth head, devoid of any hair, reflected slightly under the scorching sunlight.
"Old Friend, how did you manage to make those Demi-human experts submit?" Khajiit bowed, asking curiously and respectfully.
He didn't know the identity of this mysterious man, and the other party had never told him. Khajiit naturally wouldn't ask unnecessarily.
"Old Friend" had become a title similar to a name, even though these three words were a humiliation to Khajiit.
"Heh, what do you think?" Tang Zheng came back to his senses from thinking about the two rituals.
Khajiit's expression froze, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.
Tang Zheng glanced at Khajiit indifferently.
The atmosphere fell silent.
This group of Demi-human tribes was indeed not easy to control, especially Na Su Li Ni, one of the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes".
The reason why these Demi-human kings were obediently submitting to Tang Zheng now was entirely because he could initiate the ritual and let Lizardman Kuruche release the Sixth Tier Magic "Weather Manipulation".
The power this represented made it clear to these Demi-human kings, as long as they weren't foolish, what they should do.
And the ordinary Demi-humans hadn't resisted either, mainly because the Hills area was already clearly in a drought, lacking water and food.
Tang Zheng had the ability to provide them with enough food and water.
Speaking of "drought."
Tang Zheng's heart stirred. Feeling the hot temperature, he raised his eyes, looking at the cloudless sky and the scorching sun.
Recently, he had rarely assisted Lizardman Kuruche and others in releasing the "Weather Manipulation" Magic.
Because it was no longer needed.
Even Tang Zheng didn't realize at first that continuously releasing the Sixth Tier Weather Manipulation, blowing away the rain clouds and keeping the hills exposed to the sun,
this continuous influence was now gradually evolving into a real "drought"! "Climatic phenomena have always been unpredictable, and constant magical intervention has actually gradually changed the course of the climate," Tang Zheng thought silently.
The more he understood Tier Magic, the more he felt that some of the Magic could not be judged by simple Tier levels.
"The arrangement of the ritual needs to be increased... Hmm?!"
Tang Zheng spoke indifferently, but before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Suddenly! "Having undergone the baptism of death, you can still ask such a foolish question."
"Khajiit!"
"Your wisdom is becoming as stiff as an Undead."
A dry, grating voice echoed across the flat ground of the Hills, like two bones rubbing together. The sound, which should have been grating, had a unique magnetism that wasn't unpleasant.
Almost the instant the voice sounded!
In the direction behind Khajiit, the empty air suddenly rippled, then twisted and blurred, and a Black figure appeared out of thin air.
Fifth Tier Teleport Magic! No need to look at the information displayed on the Attribute Panel.
As a frequent user of this Magic, Tang Zheng recognized it immediately.
Knows Khajiit, a member of Zuranon?
Khajiit has something like a positioning Magic on him! Several thoughts flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, his eyes turned cold as he looked at the Black figure that had appeared out of nowhere.
The other party's entire body was enveloped in a Black mist-like energy, making it impossible to see their appearance clearly, only barely making out their figure.
A cold aura spread out.
The somewhat hot temperature dropped a few degrees with the other party's appearance, that Black mist was negative energy! Khajiit's pupils trembled, hearing this familiar voice, his expression became stiff, and he slowly turned around in disbelief.
When he clearly saw the figure standing behind him.
Tang Zheng observed that Khajiit shuddered almost imperceptibly, and his already pale, bloodless face seemed to become even whiter.
Noticing this subtle emotional change.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and the light of Mana flashed in his eyes: "Ninjutsu: Detection!"
Whoosh! A deep, dark light suddenly flashed in the Black mist surrounding the other party.
"Blocked it?"
"It's Anti-Detection." Tang Zheng's eyes quickly scanned the Attribute Panel, but there was no reaction.
Passive ability? Or some kind of Magic Item? Buzz—
『Discovered Second Tier Magic "Magic Detection", requires Magic-based casting level (8~14), current conditions met...』
At the same time as Tang Zheng activated the Detection Magic, the other party also activated Detection Magic.
Magic Detection is a Detection Magic that can detect whether an opponent is carrying Magic Items.
Although it cannot obtain the opponent's information, it can analyze the opponent and lock their position through the number of Magic Items.
"「Detection Interference」."
A faint light flashed on Tang Zheng's body, blocking the other party's detection ability.
Neither side had spoken yet! The brief exchange of detection attacks and defenses had already been completed in the blink of an eye.
"All... Alliance Leader." Khajiit knelt on the ground in a panic, his hands flat on the ground, his head lowered in fear as he spoke.
The Alliance Leader did not look at the terrified Khajiit, but stared at Tang Zheng opposite him.
"In this world, only irresistible power can make a group of wild Demi-human Races submit to another race."
The Alliance Leader slowly answered Khajiit's question, "I now realize that resurrecting you may have been a foolish decision."
"What do you think, my dear disciple?"
Whoosh! Khajiit's heart was immediately filled with Fear, and he pressed his head to the ground, panicking, "Alliance Leader, this subordinate... this subordinate, has absolutely not leaked any information about the organization."
[Zuranon]'s Alliance Leader! Tang Zheng heard Khajiit's address to this person, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes under the red hood. He thought that he might meet this Alliance Leader in the future, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
Then, hearing Khajiit's panicked statement that he "had not leaked information," a sneer appeared on his face behind the mask.
In fact.
Khajiit really didn't know much. [Zuranon] was a loose organization to begin with, let alone this mysterious Alliance Leader.
Even the other disciples rarely met each other, let alone knew much about each other.
Faced with this suddenly appearing Alliance Leader.
Tang Zheng felt alert, but not worried. With his current strength, unless there was a leapfrog difference, such as a True Dragon Lord or a god-man.
As for the others? Tang Zheng didn't mind blasting them all away with a Tenth Tier Magic [Heating]. What he was wary of was whether the other party's sudden appearance would affect his plan.
According to Khajiit's meaning.
This Alliance Leader should now be located in the territory of "Terror," one of the legendary Three Night Liches!
That was located in a destroyed small country in the east of the Bahharuth Empire and the Katz Plains, which had long been reduced to a true land of Undead.
"This is indeed a good place."
"Why didn't I think of using this group of Demi-humans' chaos before... Hmm, I seem to have thought about it, it should have been more than 20 years ago."
"Strange, how did I give up this idea back then."
The Alliance Leader raised his arm wrapped in Black mist and negative energy, touched his chin, and muttered to himself, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
Neither the terrified Khajiit lying on the ground, nor Tang Zheng standing not far away, seemed to care.
More than 20 years ago? Tang Zheng remembered that this was also the time when [Zuranon] was regarded as a cult group and became truly famous in various countries.
This Alliance Leader occupied a ruin and used the "Spiral of Death Ritual" to create chaos, indirectly destroying a city.
"I remember now." The Alliance Leader spoke again, "There are quite a few strong Demi-humans here, which would waste too much energy, and the extent of secretly creating chaos is also limited, and most importantly—this place is too close to the Slane Theocracy."
"Heh, heh, the anomalies in the Hills area now are your doing, aren't they? I don't think you have the strength to do that."
"Tell me, how did you do it?"
The Alliance Leader stretched out a skeletal, withered finger from the black mist, pointing towards the sky.
"Your series of self-serving questions made me forget that this should be my territory."
Tang Zheng issued a hoarse, cold voice: "I don't like uninvited guests, it makes it impossible to judge whether they are guests or enemies!"
A tense atmosphere permeated between the two! "Enemies? Ha."
"Wait a moment, I will hear it from your own mouth, but before that..." The Alliance Leader didn't care about Tang Zheng, his tone full of arrogance and disregard, his gaze coldly staring at the Khajiit lying on the ground: "Tell me, why did you suddenly appear here, you should be in E-Rantel right now."
"I used Teleport Magic several times in succession to find your exact location. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, death will not be your final destination."
Whenever someone becomes a high-ranking disciple of Zuranon, the Alliance Leader would place a special Magic Ritual on them, which could determine the location of these subordinates.
It was also to allow for resurrection in case the high-ranking disciple was killed.
Upon noticing that Khajiit had suddenly disappeared from E-Rantel for unknown reasons and appeared in a more distant location.
The Alliance Leader rushed over to investigate the situation, after all, two high-ranking disciples had died in succession during this period, making him suspect whether someone was targeting Zuranon.
Khajiit prostrated on the ground, without the slightest hesitation, and quickly spoke: "It's the Spiral of Death Ritual!"
Before Khajiit could finish speaking.
The Alliance Leader seemed to understand something: "As expected, the only thing on you that could attract attention is this ritual."
"How long has it been since someone dared to covet the things of Zuranon."
The Alliance Leader let out a low laugh, as if he had discovered something interesting, raised his arm, and aimed at Khajiit: "Fire..."
He naturally didn't believe that Khajiit hadn't leaked any information about Zuranon. He originally thought that the other party had good talent and was worth cultivating.
Now—die! "Alliance Leader! The Death Orb is on him, he can summon a Bone Dragon!" Khajiit felt the approach of death and shouted sharply.
The Alliance Leader's movements paused, and then he felt a ray of lightning strike from a distance.
"Dragon Lightning."
The white, dazzling electric light illuminated the surroundings, the terrifying and agitated Dragon Lightning, transformed into a bolt of lightning in the air, and quickly bombarded.
"Teleport!"
The Alliance Leader's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from the spot.
A huge roar sounded!
The location where the Alliance Leader was just now was directly blasted into a huge scorched pit by the lightning. The high temperature generated by the lightning formed a wave of air, overturning the Khajiit who was lying on the ground.
Puff! Puff! The gravel produced when the ground exploded turned into flying bullets, splashing in all directions.
"Ah, ah!"
Khajiit didn't have time to react, first he was overturned, rolled a few times on the ground, and then was hit by these scattered gravel, letting out a scream.
Sharp intuition.
Allowed Tang Zheng to discover the Alliance Leader who had Teleported to a height of more than ten meters in the air at the first moment, and looked up: "What do you want to do to my partner?"
Khajiit can't die now, the Spiral of Death Ritual hasn't been arranged yet.
"Flight!"
The Alliance Leader appeared in the sky and immediately used the "Flight" Magic to suspend himself in mid-air, preventing him from falling.
"You're courting death!"
The unique magnetic sound of two bones rubbing together contained anger.
"No one can get away unscathed after provoking Zuranon!" The Alliance Leader's pale pupils, hidden behind the black mist, were icy cold: "Fifth Tier · Ruinous Bone Prison!"
Pfft—pfft!
The ground beneath Tang Zheng's feet shattered, and sharp, black-gray bone spurs emerged from the ground.
A sense of restraint surged from the ground, making him realize that this Magic could affect the use of Teleport Magic.
The Alliance Leader clearly knew that he also possessed Teleport Magic, so he used a Magic attack that had the effect of binding and hindering movement.
The 7th Tier "Greater Teleportation" could easily get rid of this restraint, but Tang Zheng didn't need to use that level of Magic.
"Come forth, Bone Dragon!"
The surface of the "Death Orb" in Tang Zheng's hand flashed with a dark light.
Buzz—
A huge Magic circle appeared beneath his feet.
The pale figure of the Bone Dragon emerged from the ground, easily destroying the "Ruinous Bone Prison" Magic that had risen beneath Tang Zheng's feet.
He can actually summon a Bone Dragon!
The Alliance Leader was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't completely believed Khajiit's words earlier. He knew that Khajiit had spent several years collecting negative energy with the "Death Orb" Magic Item, but hadn't been able to summon a single Bone Dragon.
How long has it been since that Magic Item was lost?
