The darkness-colored slash explosion swept over!
Before it could reach Tang Zheng and Iville Ai's location, a starlight-like radiance burst forth, followed by a massive explosion and shockwave.
This explosive slash was clearly not meant to attack anyone, but to interrupt the fight between the two! Tang Zheng and Iville Ai simultaneously ceased their attacks, retreating in unison, using their respective methods to withstand the aftershock of the explosion.
As the fiery light of the explosion dissipated in mid-air.
Tang Zheng glanced at the heroic golden-haired figure below, raising an eyebrow slightly.
The expression on Lakyus's face had long lost its previous ladylike gentleness, replaced by a look of tenacity in her eyes, with an added edge of an adventurer's sharpness.
She was still wearing a formal long dress, but in her hand was a long sword with a black blade shimmering with starlight, and a large blue-black gem embedded in the hilt.
It was clearly an extraordinary magic item!
"Magic Sword."
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
One of the Four Great Magic Swords used by the Thirteen Heroes of legend, suspected to possess the [Cursed Knight] class, and known as the "Dark Knight" Hero.
In Lakyus's hand was the "Magic Sword - Kilineiram," capable of releasing darkness energy.
In addition, there was the "Rot Sword - Crocodabar," which inflicted incurable wounds.
The "Death Sword - Sfeiz," which caused instant death.
And the "Evil Sword - Shumilis," whose specific abilities were unknown, but Tang Zheng suspected it possessed curse damage.
The abilities of these four magic swords were almost perfectly aligned with the abilities of the [Cursed Knight] class.
This reminded Tang Zheng of the skeleton of a suspected Dark Knight he encountered in the canyon deep within the wetlands of the Bahharuth Empire.
The acquisition of classes in this other world was different from in games; the emergence of any class left traces.
Tang Zheng had previously suspected that the Dark Knight, one of the Thirteen Heroes, was able to obtain the [Cursed Knight] class, most likely due to two possibilities.
One was an accidental product of curse erosion, and the other was related to the Four Great Magic Swords.
Speaking of which.
The Holy Kingdom also possessed the Four Holy Swords.
Tang Zheng briefly glanced at the magic sword in Lakyus's hand before retracting his gaze.
He was clearly uninterested.
This level of equipment was considered top-tier in the eyes of ordinary people in this other world, but in Tang Zheng's view, it was just so-so, probably at the "Supreme-Grade (41-50)" level, not reaching the "Legacy-Grade (51-60)" level.
Otherwise.
Undead King would definitely be interested in collecting it, because the highest level of equipment created by the Seventh Tier Magic "Superior Item Creation" was "Supreme-Grade."
Ignoring some details, Undead King could indeed create equipment of this level with ease.
"Have you two forgotten where you are!"
Lakyus, seeing that Tang Zheng and Iville Ai had finally stopped, took a deep breath and re-planted the tall magic sword in front of her.
Tang Zheng, steadying himself on the Purification Power Angel, looked around, "The commotion is indeed a bit much."
He saw that the huge lawn where the palace was located had already been surrounded by a large number of soldiers, but this situation was within expectations.
To force out some of Iville Ai's magic and skills, it wouldn't do without going all out.
"I overdid it, I hope the King won't be petty."
Iville Ai, suspended in mid-air, muttered to herself, then looked up at Tang Zheng opposite her, her figure moving as she flew downwards.
Seeing this.
Tang Zheng also knew that there was no reason to continue fighting, his eyes flashed, and he controlled the Purification Power Angel to descend to the ground below.
When Tang Zheng and Iville Ai returned to the ground, everyone's gaze towards them contained an unusual element.
Whoosh! The Purification Power Angel used its huge palm to gently place Tang Zheng down, then transformed into brilliant white light spots and dissipated.
Tang Zheng steadily stood on the ground, his face paler than before, showing signs of excessive Mana consumption.
"Lord."
Anri clasped her hands nervously in front of her chest, her shoulders relaxing when she saw that Tang Zheng was unharmed.
Tang Zheng turned his head and nodded at Anri, giving her a reassuring look, then turned to Iville Ai, saying with some solemnity and apology, "Your strength far exceeded my expectations, Miss Iville Ai."
"This battle has also allowed me to see higher realms and levels, and I have benefited greatly. Your injuries..."
"What a fuss." Iville Ai's emotionless voice came from behind her mask, interrupting Tang Zheng, "Injuries in battle are perfectly normal, otherwise it's meaningless. Do you think that level of attack would affect me?"
Although there was no emotional fluctuation in her voice, one could hear a hint of tsundere.
"Thank you for your guidance." Tang Zheng raised his eyelids, extended his palm, and made a handshake gesture.
"I don't have the habit of shaking hands with people."
Iville Ai snorted softly, turned around and headed back towards Blue Rose. She had just taken two steps when she suddenly remembered something and paused, "Have you ever seen or known about the Sand Domain Magic before?"
Tang Zheng's face showed a puzzled expression, then he suddenly realized and shook his head, "Today is the first time I've seen such a powerful Magic."
"That unwavering avoidance doesn't seem like the first time." Iville Ai's eyes behind the mask stared intently at Tang Zheng.
"As a Summoning-type Magic Caster, I try my best to avoid any harm to myself, especially when facing such a wide-range Magic. Evading is the top priority." Tang Zheng pondered.
That battle strategy was indeed correct.
Iville Ai thought to herself. To be honest, as her original Magic, she didn't believe that Tang Zheng had seen or knew about it.
Thinking about it carefully, in addition to his cautious strategy, he also had excellent combat awareness.
"Black hair, you're not bad." Iville Ai raised the mask on her face, spoke lightly, and walked back to Blue Rose.
Lakyus looked at Iville Ai, who seemed fine, stuck the Magic Sword into the ground, and glared with her emerald green eyes, "Iville Ai!"
On this side.
Tang Zheng also returned to where Free Will was, and secretly sighed in regret.
His offer to shake hands just now was not simply a pretense of politeness, but to try and see if he could trigger something through direct contact with Iville Ai.
Iville Ai's Innate Ability stored the Origin Magic of Soul Absorption, and this Origin Power also maintained her life in a disguised form.
Theoretically, it was a permanent type.
Tang Zheng scanned the attribute panel in front of him, quickly flipping through the information, but did not find any reminders about Origin Magic.
The Player Innate Ability could display all the skills and Magic moves he saw on the attribute panel.
There was no prompt in front of him.
First, the Origin Magic had Special Characteristics.
Second, the Innate Ability had Special Characteristics.
Third, the real trigger conditions had not been met.
Therefore, Tang Zheng planned to directly contact her through a handshake.
The two princes' expressions were a little wonderful at the moment, trying their best to maintain their composure and royal dignity, but they could still feel the stiffness on their faces.
Rattling—
Rattling—
At this moment, a large number of armors rubbing and shaking sounded in unison.
A large number of elite soldiers surrounding the perimeter made a respectful gesture of kneeling on one knee and lowering their heads.
"Trouble." Lakyus muttered.
The two princes and Princess Renner also showed nervous changes in their expressions.
Among the kneeling soldiers.
Several figures were walking towards the location of the group.
There were eight Magic Casters in front and behind, and the attire of the Magic robes clearly showed that there were four Mana-type Magic Casters and four Faith-type Magic Casters.
At the very center of the eight magic casters stood an elderly figure draped in a red velvet cloak, his hair graying. His withered, twig-like fingers clutched a scepter.
Upon his head rested a crown, one that only a single person in the entire Kingdom was permitted to wear.
The old man's identity was self-evident: Rambossa III, the King of the Re-Estize Kingdom!
As this figure approached, the two princes, Princess Renner, Climb, Gazef, and Renners simultaneously knelt on one knee in a gesture of respect.
In the entire arena, only Blue Rose and Free Will remained standing.
In the eyes of most, such an act was not merely a matter of discourtesy; it was a grave offense punishable by imprisonment or even death for "disrespect."
Even Adventurers! To believe that the title of Adventurer granted absolute impunity was foolish. The Adventurer's Guild Master would still bow before the King and nobles.
The only reason these two Adventurer Teams dared to act in such a manner was their strength. At this moment, coupled with the "Adventurer" card, it could achieve a certain effect.
Lakyus glanced at her teammates standing ramrod straight behind her, sighing inwardly once more. She had subconsciously wanted to bow just now, but she had restrained herself.
She knew that her teammates would not obediently follow her lead.
Thinking of this, Lakyus's beautiful eyes turned to Tang Zheng and his companions, a hint of surprise flashing within them.
Rambossa III did not look at the two princes or Princess Renner, but directly at the two Adventurer Teams, a benevolent smile spreading across his wrinkled face.
"You little ones have caused quite a stir in my Royal Palace. Anyone unaware would think the Royal Capital was under attack."
Rambossa III spoke with a jovial tone, appearing amiable and kind.
Lakyus felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Your father mentioned you to me some time ago; you've given him quite a headache," Rambossa III said to Lakyus, speaking in the tone of an elder.
"That's just how my father is," Lakyus replied softly.
Rambossa III gently shook his head, then looked at Tang Zheng and his group, his deep gaze settling on Tang Zheng: "Free Will, a very impressive Adventurer name."
"You are all outstanding talents of the nation; any disputes should be resolved peacefully."
Throughout the entire process, Rambossa III showed no sign of anger towards the two Adventurer Teams for fighting in the Royal Capital, or even for their disrespectful behavior.
On the contrary, his words implied that he valued both Adventurer Teams greatly.
"It is our honor to have Your Majesty remember our names," Tang Zheng said softly.
"Seeing you young people always brings a sense of vitality. The banquet is about to begin; join us," Rambossa III said kindly.
"Um, Your Majesty, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave."
Lakyus quickly spoke to Rambossa III, bowing deeply before fleeing as if escaping.
Tang Zheng naturally had no intention of staying either: "We shall also take our leave, Your Majesty."
Rambossa III watched the departing figures of the two Adventurer Teams, his ancient, calm eyes betraying no hint of his inner thoughts.
From beginning to end, he did not look at those kneeling on the ground.
After Lakyus and Tang Zheng left the Royal Capital together, they parted ways, each returning to their respective bases. During their separation, the initial awkwardness between the two sides had vanished.
The battle had clearly brought the two teams closer.
Or rather, only those of equal caliber could earn the attention and regard of a powerful Adventurer Team like Blue Rose.
Strength was always the best proof and calling card.
Inside the inn, the Emerald Witch respectfully withdrew from the room.
Anri was in a daze the entire way, still unable to fully digest the events of the day.
In such a short time, she had not only met the Princess and the Princes, but also His Majesty the King, and had not even bowed. This alone was enough to shatter Anri's worldview.
As the two left,
Tang Zheng immediately brought up his stats panel and spent Skill Points.
