Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 467 Washing Professional Face to meet Fluda

Tang Zhengke was not idle.

During the time he was adapting to the power of the curse, he searched for places deep within the cliff where the curse's power was more concentrated.

Previously, it could not be effectively utilized.

Now, Tang is planning to set up the "Death Spiral - Modified" to activate the cursed energy in this valley.

Renas also possesses the [Cursed Knight] class, so she can naturally utilize the cursed power here.

just.

He couldn't guarantee whether the remaining curse energy would satisfy the needs of both Renas and Zesshi Zesshi.

"Resources are ultimately limited."

Tang Zheng shook his head, making this cold choice.

With the helpless attitude of "using good steel where it's needed most".

Tang Zheng could only prioritize increasing the strength of the Absolute Death skill, since the opponent already possessed the [Valkyrie] class.

Even if Renas upgrades the [Cursed Knight] to the maximum level, due to the limitations of humanity itself, there is still a high probability that she will not be able to truly activate the [Valkyrie].

Three days passed in the blink of an eye!

The life force of the dying is growing weaker and weaker.

His severe injuries were not effectively treated, and his wounds were further corroded and infected by the power of the curse. Even the food he ate contained cursed toxins.

On the verge of death!

"The pain and weakness have lessened."

As Zetsu's consciousness began to fade, he suddenly felt a relaxation in his body, as if a surge of strength had appeared out of nowhere.
"Reflection?"

"...If you die like this, and then you're resurrected, you won't have to continue like this, will you?"

"Damn it, I don't want to be in this state anymore... This is a different kind of torture..."

Even with a relaxed mindset, the body gradually exhibits a self-rescue-like stress response under the stimulus of impending death.

kindness?
Tang Zheng paused, his gaze pausing as he noticed the rotting wounds on Jueshi Jueshi's body, where the corrosive power of the curse had stopped decaying.

Time passes little by little!

A faint white light emanated from the surface of Zesshi Zesshi's body.

"The power of the Valkyrie?"

Tang Zheng immediately noticed the peculiar fluctuation of professional aura, and a smile appeared on his face:
"It's done!"

"No, it should be considered half a success."

now!

The state of absolute death and certain death did not mean that he had truly mastered the [Cursed Knight], but rather that it was somewhat similar to Renas's initial state.

Truly master this profession!

The rotting wounds caused by the curse should disappear.

"Sixth-Tier Magic - Great Healing!"

Wow!
A dazzling, holy light instantly illuminated the dark valley, and the magic transformed into a pure, sacred energy pillar that enveloped the dying Zesshi Zesshi.

Star-like points of light rapidly heal wounds!
A breath.

There was a "bang" sound!
With a pale face, Jue Si Jue Ming leaped out of the pit and stood steadily on the edge of it.

"Speed ​​up the flow!"

A cold voice sounded.

With a powerful leap, Jue Shi Jue Ming transformed into a blur, raised his fist, and slammed it towards Tang Zheng.

"Skull Wall"

Boom-!
A wall composed of numerous low-level undead skeletons rapidly rose from the ground, blocking Tang Zheng's path.

Boom.

The deadly punch blasted a large hole in the skull wall, but it did not completely destroy the entire skull wall.
"Roar!"

"what!"

"Shout!"

Other low-ranking undead on the skull wall, wielding claws or rusty weapons, attacked the figure in the center.

"Humph!"

Jue Shi Jue Ming gave a soft snort, withdrew his arm, and retreated.

"Have you vented your anger?"

Tang Zheng calmly waved his arm, dispelling the "Skull Wall" spell, and looked at the opposite side, where Zesshi Zetsumei stood with his arms crossed and a cold expression on his face.
"After you've vented your anger, first take a moment to assess your own condition."

"It's fine if you want to play a match."

Tang Zheng calmly replied, "Even if Jue Si Jue Ming's injuries haven't fully recovered, he's still standing in front of me fully armed."

Even using only magic, Zesshi Zesshi cannot defeat him.

"Ha~"

Zetsuki Zetsumei suddenly adopted a sweet, cloying voice, as if the sudden attack had never happened, and stretched her limbs:
"It does seem a bit different now."

Talking time!
Jue Si Jue Ming San Ming bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and suddenly tightened his grip.

A series of "clicking" sounds
The stone in his hand was crushed directly, and some of the tiny fragments were dissolved by the corrosive energy.

"The power has increased a bit."

Zesshi Zetsumei's pupils widened slightly as she exclaimed in surprise, "It seems we can... utilize the power of the curse."

Although it contains only a trace of the curse's power, it is a real existence!

"It took less time than I initially expected."

Tang Zheng smiled and then snapped his fingers lightly: "Then, let's begin the second step."

"What!" Zesshi Zetsumei suddenly looked up, then shrank back.
"You never said there would be a second step!"

She barely survived the first part, so she'll have to die again to complete the second part, right?
At this moment, Zesshi Zesshi suddenly felt that he might not need to pursue power as much anymore!

"'The strong can do whatever they want to the weak,' that's your motto," Tang Zheng said gently, looking at the fearful Zetsuki.

Just that smile.

Seeing this, Zesshi Zesshi couldn't help but shudder.

If Tang Zheng knew that Jue Shi Jue Ming was guessing that "the second step will lead to death," he would definitely praise Jue Shi Jue Ming for being so clever, being able to think of such a thing!

That's right.

The second step is to make Zetsu Shiki drop a level!

The reason we didn't do that from the beginning is quite simple.

1. It is uncertain whether Jue Si can obtain the [Cursed Knight].

Second: There is no benefit to it. Killing the other party for no reason will only worsen the relationship.

……

In the capital city.

The vast area, enclosed by a hexagonal rear wall, is guarded by several watchtowers.

Located within the eight imperial knight orders, belonging to the most elite First Knight Order, they are part of several mixed guard units of magic chanters, responsible for patrol duties.

high altitude.

You can also see the Emperor's personal guard and the Royal Air Force guards riding flying magical beasts.

This place is a symbol of the empire's power, a place where the former emperor devoted the most energy, and is called the "Imperial Magic Province".

Inside were all sorts of strangely shaped buildings, with many people going in and out of each one, but there was one black tower deep inside that was almost never entered or exited.

On the contrary!

It has more stringent security measures than other buildings.

In addition to the troops on the surface, there are four rock golems, each nearly 3 meters tall, guarding the entrance tirelessly and perpetually.
—Step! —Step!

The sound of steady footsteps echoed slowly from the depths of the black tower.

Upon seeing the familiar footsteps, the guards at the entrance all showed expressions of awe and reverence, and immediately lowered their heads.

The white light and shadow flickered.

An aged figure holding a magic staff emerged from the entrance of the Black Tower and walked toward the carriage that had been waiting there.

It was a very luxurious carriage, pulled by an eight-legged magical beast, and driven by two elite-looking warriors.

The roof of the carriage!
With significant modifications, it allows magic chanters and crossbow-wielding warriors to stand ready in a four-person formation, increasing vigilance over the surrounding area.

Such a luxurious and high-standard measure!
In the entire Bahars Empire, there are probably only two people who are qualified and possess this right.

"The Blood Emperor" Gilk Nifrun Farodal Nix!

"Triple Magic Chanter" Fluda Paradion!

The old man holding the magic staff in front of them was certainly not the Blood Emperor.

Fluder, his white beard reaching all the way to his chest, emerged from the deepest tower and boarded the carriage expressionlessly.

Rolling around~
The wheels are turning.

The luxurious carriage, pulled by eight horses, began to move, heading towards the city outside the Imperial Magic Province.

The silver spice box emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Fluta sat alone in the carriage, her right hand resting lightly on the dark red velvet, and sighed softly.

"Still not working?"

"With my power, theoretically I should be able to control it."

Fu Luda was completely baffled.

The "Death Knight" imprisoned deep within the deepest tower represents the power he has always sought to control, if only he could succeed!
He would be far superior to Rigurette, the "Necromancer" among the thirteen heroes.

Actually.

Fluder did not have an excessive desire for power; his true wish was to glimpse the depths of magic.

Fluder's withered fingers involuntarily tightened, gripping the warm, dark red velvet blanket in his hand.

"Ailiuntiyou"

The name popped into his mind.

That was the capital city of the kingdom established by the Eight Desire Kings in the southern desert, and also the last remaining city.

A feeling of resentment rose within Fluta, as if a black flame was burning within her.

Thirteen Heroes!

Those heroes of the past!
Fluda believed that with his current strength, he was already on par with them, but why... why were they the only ones allowed to do so!
But I was turned away. What is it that I am inferior to them in?
Anger and resentment surged within me!

Fluder was extremely jealous that the thirteen heroes had the opportunity to glimpse the "Magic Abyss".

"Hey……"

Fluta's deep resentment ultimately turned into a soft sigh.

Lower your head.

He looked at his gray beard.

Thinking of the young disciples and students surrounding him, his resentment rose again.

He is very old!
In the training of a spiritual magic chanter, there is a power called immortal magic. He used this forbidden magic to stop himself from aging.

but--

Even with the level of magic he could master, stopping his aging—a power beyond ordinary imagination—was still far too difficult.

It can only be activated and used through a magical ritual!

This caused the originally perfect magic that could grant immortality to become distorted, and he continued to age.

The longer it goes on, the more severe the imperfect distortions of magic will become!

thump~
The luxurious carriage shuddered slightly.

It probably ran over a pebble on the road, or there was an uneven spot on the road surface.

Freuda snapped out of her resentment and thought to herself, then slightly raised her head, preparing to look out the carriage window draped with double layers of silk.

next moment!
Fluda's eyes flickered, and he suddenly gripped the magic staff in his hand. His long lifespan had given him the habit of being "calm in the face of adversity".

That's probably the role it played at this moment.

Even though I was terrified inside,
Fluta only twitched her eyelids slightly; this tiny movement was barely noticeable on her wrinkled face.

See!

A figure was sitting calmly directly opposite Fluta.

The other person wore a red magic robe and a pure white mask with occasional flashes of blue light.

This proves that the mask is a magical artifact.

When did it appear?
Absolutely nothing found!

Two elite warriors were driving the carriage, and there were four highly vigilant guards on top of the carriage.

result……

The magical items on his body did not react.

Fluder, no longer able to reprimand the six guards, briefly stiffened his expression before speaking calmly:
"who are you?"

It is impossible to determine when the other party boarded the carriage.

In other words, there is a possibility that information from the "Imperial Ministry of Magic" and the "Black Tower" has been leaked!

"I saw you were deep in thought just now, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Tang Zheng leaned against the carriage and spoke softly, "Lord Fuluda."

The training plan for the second step of the "Desperate Death" course is temporarily completed. "Resetting one's profession" is not a simple matter!
Especially for people from another world.

Tang Zheng had already conducted several experiments and discovered that as long as one continuously trained in a certain profession for a period of time before death, it would be effective.

So after death and resurrection

There is a very high probability that the class you "dropped" was the one you trained for before you died.

The job system in the game is chaotic. Tang Zheng's job arrangement is to build a priest-warrior system with the [Valkyrie] as the core.

Therefore, the professions that need to be removed should be prioritized.

These are the three assassin-oriented professions: [Bandit], [Assassin], and [Executioner].

Jue Shi Jue Ming has already died once, but Tang Zheng used a 9th-tier "resurrection magic" to revive him, and he only lost 2 levels.

Through observation.

Tang Zheng has determined for the time being that there is no problem. Jue Si Jue Ming is currently adapting, and the next level drop will take place after he has fully adapted.

and so.

He happened to be here to see Fluta.

Tang Zheng was quite concerned about the "lifespan issue," after all, there were living examples of the six great gods whose lifespans had run out and who had died.

"Who exactly are you!" Upon hearing this, Fluda felt as if the other party was mocking him, and spoke coldly while activating his innate ability.

In the end, I saw nothing.

Did they make special arrangements because they knew about my innate abilities?

Fluda's eyes deepened, able to deceive his own senses and magical artifacts, in addition to the fact that the other party was dressed as a magic chanter.

At least one thing can be determined: the other party is extremely skilled in concealment magic or has special magical items.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

Tang Zheng seemed to only remember this moment, leaned forward slightly, raised his hand to his chest and bowed: "I am the leader of the [Zhilanong] Alliance."
