Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 411 Summoning Cerberus! Countermeasures
Jue Si Jue Ming was like a rapidly shooting arrow, a sickly cruel smile appearing on his face, and the distance of several dozen meters between the two sides was closed in an instant.

hiss!
The cross-shaped scythe drew an arc in the air, its sharp blade tearing through the air. Like an illusion, a black shadow flashed by, slashing straight at Tang Zheng's neck!

To deal with a magic caster, simply closing the distance is enough!
I originally thought it was just a toy to pass the time.

result.

What was unexpected was a pleasant surprise, which, according to the "divine words" left behind by the six great gods, is roughly the meaning of "blind box".

But a toy is still just a toy.

Even if he could resolve the "Four Elements" in an instant, the guy in front of him probably still wouldn't be able to comprehend the power of a higher dimension.

This is not arrogance!
Rather, it is long-standing confidence and understanding!

"What secrets are hidden... I'm really looking forward to it!" Zesshi Zetsumei's heterochromatic eyes grew brighter and more cruel.

"Gravity Reversal"

Tang Zheng began to chant softly, and the air in front of him briefly distorted.

Suddenly, Zesshi Zesshi felt his whole body become heavy, and his forward lunge and weapon attacks were affected and altered by this sudden gravity.

Movement speed has slowed down!

The slashing motion of the cross-shaped scythe was accelerated by gravity, causing the blade to glide just past Tang Zheng's nose.

boom!boom!
His black ankle boots slammed heavily on the ground, sinking slightly, while the exaggerated black blade of the cross-shaped scythe easily pierced the ground as if cutting through butter.

The magic of changing weight!
Jue Si Jue Ming raised his long, thin eyebrows; he had never seen them before.

The attack failed?
It wasn't surprising, since she hadn't even used any martial arts techniques; this attack was more of a test.

Facing opponents like warriors.

The methods a magic caster uses to deal with this are simply to create distance or use defensive magic. The black-haired boy's method of increasing weight can also be classified as defensive.

but--?
What's going on with this reaction speed?!

Jue Shi Jue Ming was a little surprised. She had observed very clearly that the little black-haired girl's timing in chanting the spell was just right.

This kind of reaction speed shouldn't exist in a magic chanter at all!

"Enhanced Magic Resistance!"

With a mind focused on absolute death, the individual analyzed the brief exchange and gathered intelligence, then immediately activated their martial arts technique.

A flash of blue light!
Having broken free from the effects of "gravity reversal," Zesshi Zesshi sneered as he swung his cross-shaped scythe at the ground without raising his weapon.

instead!
Following the force of her arm slashing the ground and the effect of the gravity magic she had just used, she swung her slender arm in a circle.

If a normal soldier's attack misses and the weapon hits the ground, he needs to raise his arm to pick up the weapon again.

This is normal behavior.

But in Zetsuki Zetsumei's eyes, it was a bit of a waste of time.

Even if the time difference is pitifully short, in battle, if you can attack faster than your opponent, it may directly determine the outcome!

of course!

The reason he could use his strength to spin his weapon around the ground was because the cross-shaped scythe in his hand was the weapon of "Sirshana," one of the six great gods and the savior of mankind.

Its sharpness cuts through the ordinary muddy ground beneath our feet as easily as cutting butter with a hot knife... no, as effortlessly as slicing through the air.

"Accelerated flow"

"Triple Slash"

"Super Slash"

Zetsu Zetsumei's already incredibly fast movements were taken to a whole new level; her slender arms and cross-shaped scythe vanished into thin air due to the sheer speed of her attacks.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three black bolts of lightning formed and slashed towards Tang Zheng!

"it's over!"

Jue Si Jue Ming stared at Tang Zheng, who seemed to have no time to react, a smile playing on his lips, tinged with disappointment.

At such close range, the opponent has no chance to dodge, and doesn't even have time to cast a spell.

in view.

Tang Zheng clearly observed the three slashes that disappeared into the air, and out of the corner of his eye, he even caught a glimpse of Zesshi Zesshi's victorious smile.

ha?
This level is still not enough.

"Magic without chanting - Tenth-tier magic - Cerberus".

The mouth did not open.

Boom!

A massive black figure materialized between Tang Zheng and Jue Si Jue Ming. The rapidly expanding demonic beast instantly swelled within the narrow space between the two.

As the summoner, Tang Zheng was naturally unaffected.

Jue Shi Jue Ming only felt his vision instantly enveloped by a dark shadow, and then his body was uncontrollably thrown away.

Bang!
A figure in black and white flew out, its short boots leaving a trail nearly a hundred meters long on the ground.

"cough!"

The tightness in his chest almost made Zesshi Zesshimei gasp for breath, and he involuntarily coughed violently.

tick~
A drop of bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth and bloomed on the pale back of Jueshi's hand.

"Injured?" The thought popped into Zesshi Zesshi's mind, and her pupils dilated slightly.

it hurts!

It was a high-intensity impact based purely on force.

Zesshi Zesshi stared in disbelief ahead as a gigantic monster, nearly five meters tall, came into view.

This was a gigantic monster she had never seen before!
It resembles both a dog and a lion, with three unusually ferocious heads, sharp teeth protruding from the sides of its mouth, and saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Its tail is like a venomous snake, swinging wildly!

It appears to possess a certain degree of offensive power, and a faint purple light can be seen at the snake's tail!

He desperately tried to recall the knowledge in his mind, but confirmed that he had no recollection of it.

All members of the Dark Codex study various kinds of knowledge, but none of that knowledge includes the monster before them!

Bang!
Cerberus raised one of its thick paws and slammed it into the ground, creating a deep crater. Its three crimson heads stared at Zesshi Zesshi and made a diving motion.

A foul-smelling breath spewed from three mouths!

It looks exceptionally terrifying and creepy.

"What kind of monster is this..."

As Zesshi Zesshi was stared at by six pairs of scarlet eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason and subconsciously spoke up.

She could actually sense a dangerous aura emanating from this monster.

How can it be?

It's just a summoned monster!

The laziness and contempt in Zetsumei's heart completely disappeared.

"It's called Cerberus."

Tang Zheng emerged from behind the massive body of Cerberus, standing smiling beside the monster, gently patting its short fur with one hand.
"The radiant archangel you easily destroyed in the Holy Kingdom will also be easily destroyed before this three-headed hellish being."

It's a bit prickly.

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Oh." Cerberus (Lv 70) felt Tang Zheng's touch and all three heads responded at the same time, looking like it wanted to act cute.

pity.

The size of Cerberus is so large compared to humans that it is impossible for it to make a cuddling or affectionate gesture.

Looking into the field of vision,
The three-headed hellhound, with its fierce and menacing face, actually started behaving in a cute and affectionate way.

This made Jue Si Jue Ming feel an indescribable horror and a trace of fear.

Her sharp gaze had already caught sight of a small wound on each of the three heads of the Cerberus.

This is the injury left from using the "Triple Slash" martial skill just now!
There has been no battle yet.

Zesshi Zesshimei could already sense Cerberus's astonishing strength and defensive capabilities.

His eyes darted around.

Looking at Tang Zheng's gentle smile across the table, it suddenly seemed incredibly mysterious to Jue Shi Jue Ming.

No wonder the other party was so calm when they were in the church. According to their explanation at the time, it was because they knew that resistance was useless.

This guy is lying through his teeth!

"What level of monster is this?" Zeshi Zemei's pale face was slightly distorted as she asked in a high-pitched voice.

She didn't think the other person would answer, but she still spoke up in the hope that they might answer, and also to distract herself.

"Tenth-tier magic level."

"How is this answer, Your Excellency, Guardian of Humanity?" Tang Zheng maintained his smile, gazing at the opponent, Zetsu Zetsumei.
"As I mentioned before, I am very skilled in magic-based magic."

Tang Zheng made a point of emphasizing "magic power" again, and also to reinforce the impression of Zesshi Zesshi.

Did you answer?
and many more!

That's not the key point. The 10th magic—how is that possible!

Jue Shi Jue Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and she wanted to speak up and refute immediately.

Among the knowledge she learned, it was indeed mentioned that magic has 10 ranks, but only beings like the legendary six great gods could master magic of this level.

It is said that there exists an even stronger magic called the "Eleventh Order".

The theocracy itself has not confirmed this information, so it should be treated as mere legend.

The rebuttal that was about to come out was swallowed back down.

This is very likely a strategy employed by the other side, aiming to intimidate her with such astonishing magical abilities, thereby affecting her judgment and combat effectiveness.

"Is this your trump card?"

Zetsu Zetsu calmed himself, raised the cross-shaped scythe in his hand, and let out a mocking sneer:
"As expected, even if he disguises himself as a magic caster of the faith type, his skill in summoning has not changed."

"You did scare me, but you're too early to think you can defeat me with a monster like that, you piece of trash!"

Zetsu Shitsumei licked his lips and spoke loudly.

If she remembered correctly, this team leader Tang could summon two angelic monsters, and even if he disguised himself, this summoning-based enhancement build should not change.

And now!
The opponent only summoned a high-ranking monster named Cerberus.

Why is that?
"Magic!" Zesshi Zetsumei gave himself the answer.

The close-quarters combat just now.

Tang Zheng summoned the three-headed hellhound in an instant, without noticing the chanting process.

In other words, a certain magical enhancement method that skips the chanting was used—magic without chanting!
Jue Si Jue Ming knew about this kind of enhancement technology because among the six grand ceremony troops, the [Fire Extinction Holy Scripture] would specifically learn a special profession.

This class possesses the ability to use any magical enhancement technique, although it can only be used once per day.

"Magic without chanting" consumes a huge amount of magic power.

Figure this out.

The unease in Zesshi Zesshi's heart immediately dissipated; the key to victory lay in how much magic the spellcaster had consumed.

"Critique of Heresy!"
The player activates their professional skill and immediately takes appropriate countermeasures.

This skill causes opponents with different beliefs to consume a slight increase in mana when casting spells.

With this skill activated!
"Heretical Judgment!" A white light flashed across Zeshi Zemei's body again, and then she activated her class skill once more.

This is the other of the two special skills that she can learn when she reaches the highest level of her profession, [Heretics Inquisitor].

The effects are largely the same; they can increase the chance of the opponent failing to cast a spell, while the mana cost after a spell fails will still be deducted.

That's right!

Using higher-level magic will inevitably consume more mana, and with the support of these two skills, the opponent's mana consumption will be further increased.

This will subtly affect the balance of the battle!

"Swift as the Wind"

"Gale Speed ​​Break"

"Ability Enhancement"

"Ability skyrockets"

"Super Slash"

"Super Penetration"

"Increased probability"

"Don't be so arrogant!!" Zesshi Zesshi let out a wanton laugh, and several beams of light instantly erupted from his body.

Swish!
The black and white figure vanished from its spot, rushing towards Tang Zheng at a speed beyond what ordinary people could perceive.

The extensive martial arts training not only enhanced her agility and strength, but also gave her amazing observation skills and a sixth sense.

"Stop it," Tang Zheng said calmly.

If it weren't for the need to specifically showcase high-level magical power, there are many ways to deal with Zetsu Zetsumei.

Boom!

The ground beneath Cerberus's feet exploded, and its massive form, like a speeding dump truck, crashed into it with astonishing ferocity.

Tear!

The figure charging forward at breakneck speed suddenly stopped, the short boots on his feet scraping against the ground with a screeching sound.
"The Unyielding Fortress!"

The cross-shaped scythe swung, emitting a blue-green light, and collided with the charging Cerberus.

The impact force looked terrifying.

The impact was neutralized the instant the Cerberus made contact with the cross-shaped scythe, without even a normal thud.

A hint of doubt appeared in the crimson eyes of the three heads of Cerberus, but the attack did not stop. The three heads opened their blood-red maws and bit down.

"Speed ​​up the flow!"

"Extreme avoidance!"

Jue Shi Jue Ming unleashed two martial arts techniques in combination, her white hair flying through the air like a spirit, leaping amidst the bites of the three heads.

"Stupid monster." Zesshi Zetsumei grinned, a ferocious smile spreading across his face. He spun his left foot, lightly touching the ground with his toe.

The Cerberus, which was like a wall, actually slipped past with its incredibly agile movements.

She had no intention of confronting this thick-skinned monster head-on; her target from the beginning was the caster, Tang Zheng.
