Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 434 New Member - The Divine Captain "Honor", [Peerless Beauty]

Watching the platinum armor completely vanish.

"Haha! Die, die!" Zesshi Zesshi licked his lips, letting out a climax-like laugh: "That's more like it!"

Even at the very last moment, she still felt a sliver of uncertainty, entirely due to the shadow cast over her previous encounter with Tang Zheng.

Clementine and the "Four Elements" heard Zesshi Zesshi's triumphant laughter and immediately looked up in the direction where the platinum armor had perished.

The two of them, as if pulled out of the water, breathed a sigh of relief, drenched in cold sweat.

The captain's utter defeat and miserable state put considerable pressure and fear on the two of them, who were afraid that they too would be defeated in the same way.

"……monster."

Clementine gritted her teeth and scrambled to her feet, her exposed, soft waist covered with red welts from her escape.

Swish-!
Ripples appeared in the air.

Jue Si Jue Ming was the first to turn around, staring at the spot while making a defensive gesture.

next moment,
Tang Zheng appeared in front of the three of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

A gentle voice sounded.

Clementine was clearly taken aback. He glanced at the location of Zesshi Zesshi before a look of realization dawned on his eyes.

"No wonder!"

Clementine previously only knew that the "Four Elements" had also secretly sided with Tang Zheng, regarding the matter of absolute death and certainty.

The "Four Elements" were not mentioned.

Now it seems that even a monster as powerful as Zesshi Zesshi... Your Excellency is indeed a god!
"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Clementine and the "Four Elements" quickly and respectfully replied.

"You two are really lucky to have survived; it saves you the trouble of resurrection," Tang Zheng said, glancing at the two of them, especially giving Clementine a look.

Although this woman's personality was somewhat twisted, she did not object or hesitate at all when carrying out his orders.

That's a good point.

"~Ara".

Standing at less than 160cm tall, with her snow-white neck held high, she stared at Tang Zheng, a lazy, girlish voice trailing off as she smiled.
"It's no fun to end the battle so quickly."

"I've come all this way just to be ordered around doing this pointless thing. Anyway, why did you have to use the trump card?"

When neither side has any information about the other, the side that uses its trump card first will likely find itself in a disadvantageous position.

It also makes it inconvenient to hide and collect intelligence!

"A great combination of black and dark gray," Tang Zheng responded with a light laugh, his gaze then fixed on the elderly Kerry, who was being carried by one hand by Zetsuki.
"If something gets damaged during a battle, you'll have to buy a new one, which would be a hassle. Wouldn't it be better to resolve the battle without even engaging in combat?"

If the battle is primarily about gathering intelligence, then there's no need to do this. But if the goal is to quickly resolve the battle, the side that unleashes its ultimate attack first will gain the advantage.

After all!
Such a trump card might be a choice that others would make with caution, only when they are absolutely certain that everything is foolproof.

But death and annihilation are different.

The opponent's innate superpowers mean that their so-called "trump card" will not be singular. Zetsu Zetsumei possesses an extremely strong counter-targeting capability against the enemy's intelligence-based attacks.

"Huh?" Jue Si Jue Ming's tone rose a notch.

"Fine, do you really want me to say you probably can't beat them?"

Tang Zheng shrugged and said seriously, "The other party is no ordinary enemy. They are probably related to the Council Kingdom, where there is a true dragon king."

"You guy!"

Zesshi Zesshi's heterochromatic black and white eyes glared fiercely at Tang Zheng, but upon hearing the words "True Dragon King," a serious expression appeared on his face.

She roughly understood why Tang Zheng wanted her to do this.

The true dragon king's hatred for gods and humans can be described as loathing.

The Holy Kingdom has been hiding the divine beings in order to prevent information leaks and to avoid fighting the remaining True Dragon Kings.

If that guy in white armor cannot be captured quickly, and he escapes, there is a very high probability that he will attract the attention of the Platinum Dragon King of the Kingdom of Review.

"You two, first collect the corpses and magical items of the [Dark Codex] members, then teleport to the hills."

Tang Zheng addressed Clementine and the "Four Elements" and gave them his orders.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Clementine and his companion nodded respectfully, exchanged a glance, and quickly left.

"Take Captain Shenren with us and let's leave here first." Tang Zheng didn't intend to stay in the Tobu Great Forest for long and said to Jueshi Jueshi.

"I know~"

The two unconscious figures, Captain Godman and Elder Kerry, were left on the ground. Tang Zheng activated a teleportation spell and disappeared into the forest along with Jue Si Jue Ming.

—Aberlein Hills.

deep.

A flash of white light, and four figures appeared simultaneously.

"Heh, what a piece of trash." Zeshi Zemei looked at the captain of the God-like team with broken limbs at his feet and kicked him away, showing no mercy in his mockery.

Blood spurted out and splattered on the ground!
"Oh……"

The kick wasn't particularly forceful, but for the already severely injured captain, it was like adding insult to injury.

Even while unconscious, it still unconsciously groaned in pain.

"They're companions after all."

Tang Zheng shook his head upon seeing this and took out the "Great Healing" magic scroll.

He still had about seventy or eighty of these scrolls in his hand, all left over from when he acquired the world-class item [Two Realms Mandala] last time.

The scroll was torn open.

Wow——!
A holy, sacred light enveloped the dying God-man captain, and healing points of light converged on his wounds, rapidly repairing his injuries.

If the Platinum Armor hadn't deliberately held back and intended to capture him alive, the only option would have been to revive him.

"A sixth-tier healing spell?" Zesshi Zesshi looked at the scroll that had reappeared in Tang Zheng's hand, his heterochromatic eyes flashing.

This level of high-level healing scroll is not even found in the legacy of the six great gods.

Jue Si Jue Ming never considered that Tang Zheng had created it himself; instead, he believed that Tang Zheng, as a divine being, should have inherited the legacy of a certain deity.

mysterious!

powerful!

The eyes of Zesshi Zetsumei shone with an unusual light, suggesting that there were many secrets about him worth exploring.

"...It's a pity I've never seen them use weapons."

Jue Si Jue Ming never discovered that Tang Zheng had used any magical weapons or wands, otherwise he could have touched them.

That might reveal the opponent's trump card!
She knew that not everyone had such a powerful trump card, but she didn't believe that Tang Zheng didn't have one.

Five "Great Healing" magic scrolls fell one after another!

Captain Shenren's injuries had mostly healed, and he awoke from his coma. The moment he regained consciousness, he leaped up from the ground.

"Gun defense!"

Captain Shenren roared and activated his defensive skill.

Invisible, illusory spear shadows formed a circular spear array, surrounding the captain of the divine being and creating an all-around defense.

……

The skill "Gunfight Defense" has been discovered, requiring the mid-tier class "Gun Master". Current requirements are not met...

"The 'Genius' class has been activated, transforming you into the basic class [Warrior]. Learning requirements are met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?"

……

Tang Zheng glanced at the prompts on the attribute panel and gained a general understanding of the God-like Captain's class composition.

Furthermore, the amount of health restored by the five "Great Healing" magic scrolls can be used to further deduce the range of the God-Man Captain's HP. *Squeak—*

Captain Shenren's hands, gripping the worn-out spear, were covered in sweat. The image of the utterly crushing defeat flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

No attack?

What about my own injuries?

Until this moment.

Captain Shenren then noticed Zetsuki Zetsumei standing not far away, expressionless, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"How did you..."

Jue Shi Jue Ming sneered, "How pathetic, to be beaten so badly."

Call ~
When the captain heard the mockery, he was not angry at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems the enemy has been defeated by you."

"However, what happened to my injuries...? All the members of the Holy Scripture were killed in action..." Captain Godman's eyes reddened as he spoke.

At this time.

He suddenly noticed Tang Zheng standing not far from Jue Si Jue Ming.

"Who is he?" Captain Shenren frowned and asked Zeshi Zemei.

He hasn't fully figured out what happened after he fell into a coma, but since the crisis has occurred, it should be over.

"Ninth-Tier Magic: Crimson Nova!"

Tang Zheng didn't waste any words and began chanting expressionlessly.

Crimson flames instantly engulfed the God-Man Captain!
"Ah-ah!"

The captain of the Godman team screamed in agony as the terrifying heat ignited the fur on his body and rapidly burned his skin.

"Ninth-Tier Magic: Crimson Nova!"

"Ninth-Tier Magic: Crimson Nova!"

Immediately afterward, two identical spells fell, and Captain God had no time to react before collapsing to the ground, his entire body charred.

Tang Zheng calmly took out the healing scroll and began the treatment.

Not long after!

The captain of the God-like team recovered from his injuries, his eyes bloodshot, and leaped from the ground, retreating quickly as if fleeing to create distance.

"What exactly is going on!"

"Senior Absolute Death, what are you doing!"

Captain Godman's face was pale, and he roared furiously as all sorts of thoughts burst forth from his mind.

First, they encountered the unknown, mysterious enemy, the Platinum Armor, and now they face this mysterious young magic chanter.

9th-tier magic?

Are you kidding me? This is already the realm of the gods!
"Tenth-Rank Magic - Seventh Imperial Censor".

Boom!

Seven bolts of blue lightning, several meters thick, suddenly appeared in the sky, like blue pillars of light, and struck down in an instant.

Its speed far exceeded the speed at which the God-like Captain retreated!

There was a "boom".

The captain stood frozen in place, his entire body crackling with blinding blue electric arcs, his pair of crimson eyes wide open.

"Tenth-Rank Magic - Seventh Imperial Censor!"

Seven bolts of lightning struck down simultaneously.

"...Ah..." Captain Godman screamed and lay down.

Tang Zheng possesses a passive enhancement of elemental magic, allowing him to unleash the strongest magical power when using elemental magic attacks.

The divine light emanating from the "Great Healing" scroll reappeared!

This time.

The captain of the divine being did not flee, nor did he even attempt to attack, when he heard that the opponent was using a tenth-rank magic.

He had already given up on escaping and was now even more certain that Zesshi Zesshi might have betrayed him.

"What do you want me to do?"

The captain's face contorted slightly as he raised his hands to the sky, signifying his surrender.

"Oh, so you've stopped resisting so quickly."

Jue Si Jue Ming crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back, and chuckled.

He seemed to find it quite amusing, and even a little schadenfreude, to see Captain Godman facing the same predicament he had once been in.

"Then let's talk," Tang Zheng replied with a smile.

It went much more smoothly than expected!
After understanding Tang Zheng's purpose and that Jue Si Jue Ming had already joined the other party's organization, Captain Shen Ren did not hesitate at all and expressed his intention to join.

Or rather, he had no choice at all!

Whether it's the absolute death or the mysterious young man before him, their strength surpasses his.

"In that case!"

"Your title is—'Honor'." Tang Zheng looked at the captain of the Divine Man team and slowly said.

Ranked 8th in "Honor"!
Even though he already knew that the title and position of the [Crown] organization did not represent strength, he was still impressed when he learned that the God-like Captain was ranked below him.

Jue Shi Jue Ming still revealed a smug and happy expression.

"Yes, Lord 'Crown'." The captain of the Divine Man bowed respectfully to Tang Zheng.

The second divine being was recruited into the organization.

Tang Zheng turned around with a smile and looked at the figure lying on the ground not far away: "Now that you're awake, there's no need to keep pretending."

Both Zesshi Zesshi and Captain Kamui looked at Lord Kerry. Apart from Captain Kamui having a somewhat complicated expression, neither of them seemed surprised.

With the strength of Elder Kerry.

It was impossible to pretend to be unconscious in front of the three people; neither breathing nor heartbeat could escape their perception.

"Cough, cough."

Kerry felt a chill run down his spine. He coughed and slowly got up from the ground, the wrinkles around his eyes and on his forehead creased together.

look up.

Looking at Captain Jue Si Jue Ming and Captain Shen Ren standing on either side of Tang Zheng, Elder Kerry didn't say much.

She had overheard their conversation and knew that even if she tried to dissuade them verbally, it wouldn't make much difference; the key was still the mysterious young man.

"I wish to know, who exactly are you?"

The old man's cloudy yet calm eyes made it impossible to discern his thoughts and emotions.
"Or perhaps, Your Excellency, you also wish to drag this old man into the [Crown] organization you mentioned?"

Tang Zheng shook his head: "I'm sorry, the [Crown] organization needs powerful members, and you don't fit that description."

"Yeah."

The old man Kerry sighed, his eyes suddenly turning cold as he instantly activated his world-class item, [Alluring Beauty].

You're too smug, young man!

A dazzling golden light emanated from the old man Kerry's golden cheongsam, transforming into a golden dragon-shaped phantom that shot towards Tang Zheng with a thunderous roar.

Zesshi Zesshi's expression changed, but he didn't show any signs of nervousness.

She knew Tang Zheng's cautious nature; if he knew so much mysterious information, how could he not know about the existence of the true artifact?

And the other side.

The captain's crimson eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

Golden light enveloped Tang Zheng, then dissipated into faint golden specks.
