Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 378 Three Hundred Years? A Buddha or God Who Descended Four Hundred Years Ago? A Bargaining Chip
Buddha or deity?

Upon hearing the title of this deity.

Iverie felt a strange sense of familiarity; after a moment's careful recollection,
Finally, I remembered that in the Bahars Empire, there was a steel-class adventurer team called "Silverbirds," and one of their members was a believer in Buddhism.

This information was provided by Tia and her companion; the Bass Empire was essentially their base of operations.

It is said to be a little-known deity, while others say it is a subordinate of the Four Great Gods.

How exactly.

I don't pay much attention to Iveria anymore.

"Then... be more specific."

Benjerry's two pairs of scarlet pupils flashed thoughtfully in the dim environment: "I need to review this record again to obtain more information."

He didn't understand why the undead who possessed 8th-tier magic would offer such a high price to obtain this information.

"Tenth-tier magic"...

Benjer's three arms trembled slightly; no matter how you looked at it, it felt somewhat unbelievable!

If the other party possesses such means.

That's the legendary "god"... Is it really necessary to cooperate with such an existence, or even be trapped in a negative state of invisibility due to the side effects of magic?
Benjer, the "Abyss," felt a mixture of excitement and fear, but more so, horror and doubt.

"I will take this intelligence back with me."

Iverai was not surprised when the other person did not continue speaking, and understood the other person's inner feelings perfectly.

She knew it.

Such a stake will scare the other party!

When Iverai first heard what Tang Zheng had told him, he was much more excited and terrified than the "Abyss" Benjeri in front of him.

“There’s one more thing… uh, never mind.” Iver’s mouth opened, then he continued:
"Let's leave this exchange for now, and how about we have a second exchange in three days?"

She originally planned to use the Crimson Dragon King as leverage to inquire about the "Kingdom of Inberia".

Now it's difficult to bring it up, since the other party is already intimidated. If we continue to ask questions, it might make them suspect that we are "liars".

If it affects Lord Crimson Dragon King's investigation, then things will get complicated.

"No, no problem, then I'll take my leave."

"Abyss!" Benjeri's hoarse voice rang out instantly as he activated a teleportation spell as if fleeing.

Swish!
The terrifying figure, radiating a strong aura of negative energy, vanished into thin air.

Iverai listened to the word "retreat" still echoing in the room, but the figure had already disappeared, and stood there blankly for a moment.

—The border of the Kingdom of Inberia.

A town in ruins.

Several days ago, Tang Zheng had already secretly set up the "Sacrifice - Spiral of Death Ritual" in this town.

When I first arrived in this country.

When Tang Zheng and Iver Ayr were investigating all the cities and towns in the country, it wasn't just to find out if there were any unknown hidden enemies in these towns.

By understanding the situation in these towns.

Tang Zhengcai chose this place, located on the border of the country, with a strong aura of negative energy and a large number of undead.

"An immortal with self-awareness is a very valuable research subject."

Tang Zheng placed Cassius Habakku, who was bound by ninjutsu, at the very center of the ceremony and looked at the entire ceremony.

"hiss!"

"dumb!"

"Squeak..."

"Ah hoo!"

I saw.

Inside the ceremony, there were more than 100 undead monsters with broken limbs, occasionally letting out roars to prevent them from moving.

"It still feels like something's missing."

Tang Zheng stood at the edge of the magical ritual and murmured to himself, "But it was just an experiment anyway, so it's enough."

Launching ceremony!

In an instant, a faint black light flickered in the ritual, and an invisible wave spread out, mobilizing the hundreds of undead gathered in the ritual as well as the negative energy of this model text.

It transformed into a visible mass of gray haze, rapidly converging towards the center of the ceremony!
"You, what are you going to do?"

"Who are you? Negative energy... You can actually summon negative energy? What kind of ritual is this... Ah, ah—"

Cassius Habakkuk struggled and screamed, his hoarse voice filled with terror and pleading.

But soon!
The terrified scream turned into a groan of pain.

Observing these changes.

"An unexpected development." Tang Zheng stared at the scene before him, his brows furrowing slightly. "Yet, there's also an expected outcome."

The immortals are "representatives" of negative energy.

By using the power of rituals to inject large amounts of negative energy into the body of the immortal, theoretically only the latter will be strengthened.

Cassius Habakkuk's constant groans of pain clearly indicated that this was wishful thinking.

"In the Hills Incident, both the birth of the Death Knight and the birth of the Soul Eater were the result of a large amount of negative energy gathering."

Tang Zheng's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression:
"The Death Knights and Soul Eaters that are born are actually unconscious individuals, especially the Soul Eater transformed by Kajit, which has completely lost its self-awareness."

A brief pause.

Tang Zheng reached into the ritual vessel, then quickly withdrew it. The fleshy armor on the dragon claw's surface already showed signs of slight corrosion.
"The living will be corrupted by contact with negative energy. And even the immortals will be affected by absorbing negative energy."

It seems.

His previous idea of ​​using negative energy to enhance Iver's strength was a bit too naive.

If the "Sacrifice - Death Spiral" can enhance the strength of the undead by absorbing negative energy, why doesn't the Alliance Leader do the same?
It is only used to create high-level undead monsters.

That's the problem!
"I'm becoming increasingly curious about the magical technology within the [Abyss Body] that allows Iverai to obtain the [Degraded Vampire Ancestor]."

Tang Zheng looked at Cassius Habakkuk, who was screaming in agony as if under some kind of influence, at the center of the ceremony, and gently shook his head:
"If we could obtain that technology, we might be able to figure this out. Moreover, after more than 400 years of development, the [Abyssal Body] should possess quite a few excellent magic and technologies."

In a moment,
The negative energy stirred up in the area gradually dissipated, and Cassius Habakkuk's screams also stopped.

He seemed to be just a little listless.

Tang Zheng did not notice.

Upon first contact with negative energy, the professions [Lord of Sanctity] and [Lord of Fallenness] flickered briefly before returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The air hisses!

The thick dragon tail, covered in flesh and armor, swung down from the sky, striking the center of the ceremony heavily.

Rumble!
Cassius Habakkuk's sturdy zombie body was struck by a blunt force attack, and he only had time to let out a scream before it completely crumbled into pieces.

The shockwave generated by the dragon's tail strike spread out along the ground it touched, creating a huge roar like an earthquake.

In an instant, the death spiral ritual was destroyed, and everything within the entire area was swept away completely, as if by a whirlwind! *Buzz—*

Experience gained: 78121

[Experience Bar: 3045w/188w]

Tang Zheng glanced at the meager increase in experience points, and with a thought in his mind, he took out a magic scroll for "Resurrection of the Dead" from his item box.

A gloomy, gray sky.

After Iveria teleported back to the capital several times, she called out several times but could not find the Crimson Dragon King.

Even the immortal Cassius Habakkuk was nowhere to be found, which made Iveria's heart tighten.

"Has something happened?" Iver's gaze sharpened as he quickly used detection magic to observe.

After a thorough investigation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Iverai was well aware of the terrifying strength of that crimson dragon king; if anything went wrong, there would inevitably be traces of the battle left behind.

Since there is no.

That means the Crimson Dragon King is only temporarily away, and this has happened several times before.

Iver found a clean spot and waited while recovering her magic.

It takes about three hours.

The sky became completely dark.

"Was the communication with the [Abyssal Body] successful? Iver's lament."

A majestic voice sounded.

Iver, who was resting, quickly and respectfully stood up: "Your Majesty the Dragon King."

Tang Zheng had already returned. He had been flying thousands of meters in the air, observing to prevent Iverai from being secretly followed and brought back unknown enemies.

Behind the "Abyss Body" is, after all, a mysterious true dragon king. These guys are all extremely cautious and cunning, yet also extremely dangerous.

You can never be too cautious!

"Things went smoothly, Your Majesty. Regarding the information on the 'Sanctuary'..."

Iverai recounted the entire exchange in great detail.

Tang Zheng was clearly stunned for a moment, his face showing surprise and disbelief. Fortunately, he was invisible, so his emotional change could not be observed by Iver Ai.

There really is information about the Sanctuary!
Tang Zheng was both surprised and delighted. Originally, he had only approached the situation with the idea of ​​"taking a shot even if there's no chance," and his main purpose in contacting the [Abyss Body] was to...

Firstly, it is to investigate the true mastermind behind the organization.

Secondly: It prematurely triggered the rebellion of the [Abyss Body].

Is this considered lucky?

Tang Zheng felt an overwhelming surge of excitement: "The Buddhist Realm was the name before the Holy Realm?"

"The world item 【Two Realms Mandala】is clearly in the style of Buddhism, so it might really be from this place."

This reminded him of the world-class item in the Great Tomb of Nazarick called the "Map of Mountains and Rivers"!
Clearly, in "YGGDRASIL", world-class items are not just in the style of the Norse mythology series.

"【Two Realms Mandala】, Buddhas and Gods..."

Tang Zheng pondered silently, his initial excitement gradually replaced by a solemn expression.

It's obvious!
Neither of these titles reflects the style of the otherworldly world. The "Buddha God" should, without a doubt, also be a player who has descended to this world.

The arrival of the individual?

A guild has arrived?

Tang Zheng's expression grew increasingly serious. There was too little information to conduct a useful analysis. The only certainty was that this item had existed for at least 250 years.

According to the rule of descending every hundred years, if that Buddha or deity is also of the human race and dies of a normal lifespan, at least another 100 years will be added.

He silently speculated in his mind.

The time when the "Buddha God" descended was probably after the "Eight Desire Kings," about four hundred years ago for the player... or maybe three hundred years ago.

If that's the case!
That "Buddha" did not die of old age; the possibility of an accidental death became extremely high.

As Tang Zheng thought of this, a chill ran through him, as if a cold wind was rising from the back of his spine. This was a remarkable achievement—killing a player who possessed a "world-class item."

of course.

It's more likely that it died of natural causes, since the [Two Realms Mandala] is, after all, an unclaimed world-class item.

If the "Buddha" is killed, the items will most likely be taken by the victor. No... we can't think of it that way.

The [Two Realms Mandala] may have certain requirements that need to be met for its holder!

"Was the second contact three days later?"

The thought crossed Tang Zheng's mind, and his voice became more serious, speaking authoritatively to those below:
"I need more detailed information about this location."

"I understand, Your Majesty the Dragon King."

Iverai nodded, but what filled him more with curiosity was what this so-called Holy Domain was, that it was valued so highly.

“Uh… well, knowledge of tenth-tier magic.” Iver’ai suddenly remembered the conditions for the exchange and forced himself to speak.

Ben Jerry of the Abyss will not be easily deceived. To obtain this information from him, one will probably have to offer something of real substance.

There was a "whoosh" sound.

on the sky.

An ancient animal hide scroll, about the length of an arm, appeared out of thin air and floated down.

Iverie easily took the animal hide and held it in her hand. The thick, raised surface looked like the hide of some kind of crocodile.

Make a judgment in your mind.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Iver's gaze fell on the animal hide, where he saw densely written characters, and he asked in confusion.

What does this have to do with "10th-order magic"?
"This is a special magical ritual that I obtained unexpectedly."

Tang Zheng's deep and majestic voice descended from mid-air: "The power of this ritual allows the magician to unleash magic two ranks higher than the power he himself possesses."

"If there is indeed an undead within the [Abyss Body] who wields the power of eighth-order magic, then by mastering this ritual, one can indeed unleash the power of tenth-order magic."

As Tang Zheng finished speaking, a barely perceptible smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Magic rituals" are not the key; without mastering "magical ascension," even if you have rituals, you can't use them.

This animal skin scroll is not the original version of the Lizardman Ancestor, but a copy made by Tang Zheng on a temporary basis, incorporating some of his own interpretations.

This makes the setup method for the "Magic Ascension Ritual" easier to learn and master.

Tang Zheng had no intention of deceiving the [Abyss Body]; on the contrary, he hoped more than anyone else that the other party would master this power as soon as possible.

Otherwise, how could they possibly resist that true dragon king!
Years later, the Great Tomb of Nazarick descended, but the Abyss Body still did not launch a rebellion. The main reason was that it felt it lacked the power to defeat the true dragon king.

Since these guys can't make up their minds, then Tang Zheng will give them that determination!

If things proceed as normal...

The "Body of the Abyss" is clearly a gift to Ainz Ooal Gown, and also a way to let the Great Tomb of Nazarick take care of a true dragon king.

Tang Zhengke had no intention of letting the future Ainz Ooal Gown benefit from this!
