Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 482 Time Stop Capture Successful
The celebratory atmosphere at the victory banquet suddenly vanished!
All the soldiers looked toward that conspicuous spot, their faces filled with anger and resentment.

"Get off!"

"Do you know what you're doing, you brat!"

"Oh no, I'm going crazy! May God help me!"

"asshole!"

May the light of God no longer shine upon this person!

"........."

A series of angry shouts and rebukes rang out.

A girl who appeared out of nowhere dared to point a weapon at their marshal!
God!

This little girl and her family are doomed.

As countless soldiers thought this, some had already stood up, wanting to drive Jue Si Jue Ming off the table.

"That, this matter..."

Marshal Geir was somewhat bewildered and fearful, experiencing a contradictory feeling of wanting to speak but being unable to due to some restriction:
"Please...please, put the weapon away first..."

Such a conflicted and tense expression.

It's just like someone who knows Zetsuki's identity but can't reveal information about Shinjin, so this is the normal state they should be behaving in.

See this scene.

Zetsuki tilted his head slightly, his grip on the cross-shaped scythe loosening slightly, and he thought to himself, "Am I overthinking things?"

And in that very instant!

Two black afterimages suddenly shot out from the shadow beneath Marshal Geel's feet, moving so fast that they seemed to have already appeared on either side of Zeshi Zemei's body!
Rinri's killing intent erupted in an instant.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Four arms gleaming with metallic luster, in the deep night, transformed into afterimages of black blades, instantly slicing through the light in the air!

"Decisive Strike - Double Shadow"

"Decisive Strike - Double Shadow"

The monster Hanzo's attacks were as precise as a scalpel.

Two arms attacked Zesshi Zesshi's chest and back, near his heart, while another demon, Hanzo, attacked the back of his neck and throat!
too fast.

"you……"

The iris of the body enlarged in a desperate attempt to defend itself, but it could only block the two arms.

"cough--"

Click!

Zesshi Zesshi's face instantly turned red, and a large amount of blood and bits of flesh gushed from his throat. His facial muscles twitched in pain, but he couldn't utter a single sound.

The cartilage in the throat was shattered!
boom!
The people present didn't even have time to react.

Jue Si Jue Ming had been knocked away, and the terrifying impact smashed dozens of people at the front into a bloody pulp, while hundreds of others were thrown out as well.

Bang!
Accompanied by numerous screams and roars, the Death Slammed into a spot where many soldiers were celebrating their victory.

"Take me there!" Marshal Geel said quickly, his face contorted with rage.

Talking time!
A long sword was already in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the generals and officers of the theocracy on the dining table were bewildered as their heads were chopped off.

"A bunch of insects."

Marshal Gerd cursed viciously.

It was unaware of how its identity had been revealed, and it had originally intended to capture Zesshi Zesshi in a secluded place.

...Thinking about these things now is pointless!
Such a commotion will soon attract the attention of that mysterious guardian deep within the theocracy; we must leave immediately!

One of the demons, Hanzo, reached out and grabbed the double phantom, and together with another demon, Hanzo, they rushed towards the location of the ultimate death!
Two black afterimages moved rapidly.

Bang!
A powerful impact erupted from the ruins.

Zetsuki, his mouth slicing open and dripping with blood, rose from the dust, his eyes radiating intense killing intent and madness.
"I'm going to kill you all—"

These words were not spoken.

Because his throat was injured, he was unable to make a sound, and blood would cough up whenever he opened his mouth.

The two phantoms were carried on the shoulder of the demon Hanzo, who looked up at Zesshi Zetsumei who had stood up so quickly.

"...As expected of a divine heir who has awakened the bloodline of a god-king."

"That kind of powerful attack didn't even disable his fighting ability..."

Marshal Geel, in his double phantom transformation, displayed an abnormally distorted expression on his face, seemingly pleased by the immense power of the God-King:
"The supreme and great God-King~"

Wow!
"...It's alright." The dual phantom raised its arm, revealing a magic ring on its left hand, and activated it, pointing it at the location of the ultimate death.
"We were prepared!"

"Tenth-Tier Magic: Time Stop!"

The surface of the magic ring emitted a faint blue glow.

The double phantom's expression also tensed up.

next moment.

The body of the dead man remained frozen in place, his facial expression and the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth vividly still.

It worked!
An emotion called "relief" welled up.

The double phantom relaxed, realizing that this divine heir indeed lacked the equipment and special powers to counter time-based strategies.

"Click" sound!
The magic ring on her left hand developed numerous cracks and then shattered in mid-air.

click!
Another "crack" sound, and the magic ring on his right hand shattered at the same time.

The double illusion ignored this scene.

It carried a total of two magic rings and a magic necklace.

"Time Stop Ring (Replica) - One-Time Use Only"

"Proficiency Ring - Magic Type (Replica) - One-Time Use"

"The Leap of the Treetop (Replica) - Three Times"

This one-time magical item is a technology unique to the [Floating City], and can create replicas of around the [highest level (41~50)].

The original "Time Stop Ring" could not only unleash time-based magic, but also possessed time resistance, making it a valuable "time countermeasure item".

The replica, however, has deteriorated to the point where it can only cast a "time stop" spell once.

That's why!

In case of an accident, there is no need to worry about the replica items being lost or captured by the enemy.

"3.5 seconds!"

The double phantom's voice was urgent, quickly giving a timeframe.

Two demons, Hanzo, have appeared beside Zetsumei, who is motionless due to the effects of time magic!

An attack was not launched immediately.

despair!
despair!
The two Hanzos stood in different attack positions, their entire bodies exuding an icy aura, poised to unleash their skills, waiting for the magic to dissipate.

"Time Stop" can completely halt the opponent's actions, but at the same time, all attacks during the stop will be ineffective.

The attacker needs to calculate the time when the skill ends in order to launch the attack, which is one of the essential skills that players must learn.

3.5 seconds passed in the blink of an eye!

It's unintentional!
The moment Zesshi Zesshi regained consciousness, the long-planned attack suddenly struck, and before he could react, he had already lost consciousness.

Whoosh—thud!

The other demon, Hanzo, before Zetsuki could fall to the ground, had already reached out and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

The two monster mercenaries put their hands together!
"Capture complete!"

The dual phantom excitedly twisted its neck and immediately activated the necklace around its neck: "High-level teleportation!"

"The Leap of the Treetops (Replica)" emits a faint blue light.

This is also a magic item of the magic type!
The Double Illusion was originally unusable; it was a mercenary monster specifically summoned, with a level of only 40. This excludes its racial level of 15.

There are only two basic magic professions: "Actor" and "Mentalist".

The racial rank represents the ability to record 15 variable copy objects, among which there are indeed copy identities that can use magic.

But after shedding this identity...

They will fall into an extremely weak state and will not be able to transform immediately, which is why they can still use magic-based magic.

It was thanks to that "Proficiency Ring - Magic Type (Replica)" that was also broken.

A flash of blue light!
The double phantom and the demon Hanzo remained in the same spot, showing no signs of teleporting away.

"withdraw!!"

The double phantom's expression changed drastically, and it issued the second command without hesitation.

There's only one explanation for this!
This area has been "dimensionally sealed off," a type of magic specifically designed to counter teleportation, which has restricted its movement.

It possesses a wealth of magical knowledge!

Within the abode of the great God-King lies a world-class artifact, the Nameless Spellbook, which records all the magic that exists in the world.

Inside the [Floating City].

Magical knowledge is the cheapest thing; anyone who wants to learn it, even a monster mercenary like itself, can learn it through the person in charge.

Whoosh—whoosh!
The two demons crouched down, one carrying the Double Illusion and the other carrying the unconscious Zetsu Shitsumei, instantly turning into afterimages in the darkness and disappearing into the night.

Hundreds of meters away.

A cloud of gray mist vibrated.

"7th Tier Magic: Negative Energy Shield"

Captain Shenren and Tang Zheng, dressed in a white priest's robe and wearing a mask, emerged from the gray mist.

"How can this be?!"

Captain Shenren stared incredulously at Zesshi Zetsumei, who had been captured in just a few breaths, his face filled with astonishment.
"who are they?"

Tang Zheng had no time to pay attention to the captain of the "god-like" team, whose jaw was practically dropping in shock, and whose brows were deeply furrowed.

After noticing the anomaly, Zesshi Zesshimei was the first to notify him.

Just in case!

Tang Zheng and the captain of the Divine Man team hid in the shadows.

"So clean and efficient... and that familiar monster mercenary Hanzo, they're from [Floating City]!"

Tang Zheng felt a slight tremor in his heart, several thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant, while his gaze swept towards a certain corner ahead:
"Have you left already?"

He was about to make a move, but then he discovered a third-party force besides the [Floating City]!
Ligulite, one of the former 13 heroes, known as the "Necromancer".

The other party is a member of the Platinum Dragon King's faction.

The situation has become complicated!

"Chase!"

Whoosh!
Captain Shenren rushed out quickly, while Tang Zheng activated "Ninjutsu: Concealment" and disappeared, giving chase at the same time.

——Swish!!
The figure of the demon Hanzo was shrouded in the night, as if it had completely blended into the darkness, leaving only faint afterimages in its wake.

If they weren't carrying the Absolute Death and Double Illusion on their shoulders, their speed could have increased even further!
"High-level teleportation!"

The double phantom calculated the distance to move and activated the magic necklace again.

A faint blue magical light flickered!

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and the teleportation magic still hadn't taken effect.

The double illusion's heart sank completely.

"Dimensional Lockdown" has a range; once you leave this range, you can use teleportation magic normally.

however!
Based on the speed at which the monster Hanzo moved, he should have already left the area covered by the magic, but the teleportation magic still failed to activate.

"The people of the Church are following closely!"

"Can you find out how many people there are?" The image of Marshal Geel, originally from the double phantom, began to fade away, writhing painfully on the body of the monster Hanzo.

"Judging from the voice... there's only one."

Hanzo's ears twitched a few times, and he responded quickly.

The double illusion dispelled its clone transformation, reverting to a monster with a smooth, pink, egg-shaped head, lacking lips, teeth, eyes, and tongue, and consisting only of a dark, gaping hole.

An overwhelming feeling of weakness washed over me!

The double phantom lay almost limp on the back of the monster Hanzo.

"Let's leave the territory of the theocracy first."

The dual phantom's weak voice remained firm, "I need to assess the second piece of information..."

Call ~
Call ~
The sound of the wind rushing by.

The wind whistled past Captain Shenren's ears as he ran with all his might, but he couldn't even see a shadow of the enemy.

If Tang Zheng hadn't secretly reminded him, he probably would have lost track of him long ago!

The God Captain is only around level 70 and is a warrior, so his movement speed is naturally slower than that of the level 80 monster Hanzo.

"Sir, why not just take action and resolve this?" Captain Shenren asked himself, puzzled, as he ran.

He knew it very well.

Tang Zheng had left a magical mark on each of them, so he could teleport directly to their side.

There was no one around!

Even the captain of the God-like team couldn't sense Tang Zheng's exact location; they could only communicate internally through "information."

"No rush," came the calm reply.

Captain Shenren opened his mouth, but could only keep his head down and continue chasing.

now!

Instead of clumsily chasing on the ground like the captain of the Divine Man team, Tang Zhengke hovered in the air and directly locked onto the location of the Double Illusion and the others.

Whenever the opponent is about to leave the range of "Judgment Lockdown", a spell is cast to completely lock the opponent's teleportation ability.

"I want to return to the Southern Desert since teleportation is unavailable."

"We need to cross the Slane Theocracy, traverse the entire Ivanshah Great Forest, and then cross the border region."

Tang Zheng's expression was serious and earnest: "It's enough to resolve this before we enter the southern desert."

"More intelligence needs to be gathered before we can proceed."

This unexpected situation!
This caught Tang Zheng off guard. He needed to quickly determine whether the [Floating City] had only sent the three people in front of him.

Also!

Ligulite has already left, and the Platinum Dragon King will soon learn about the situation in the Theocracy and what their next move will be.

He also cares about it quite a bit.

"Floating City, Platinum Dragon King..."

Tang Zheng frowned deeply; neither of these parties was easy to deal with or fool.

The reason why Zesshi Zesshi was forcibly taken away.

He could guess what was going on, but what Tang Zheng hadn't expected was that the [Floating City] would make a move so quickly.

After all, the other party hasn't made any moves for two hundred years!

With only two years left until Ainz Ooal Gown's arrival, such a short time should be considered extremely short for a power that has existed for hundreds of years.

Tang Zheng's move to let the Elf King contact the [Floating City] was a pre-arranged plan, but the fact that it reacted so quickly was beyond his expectations.
