Spellcasting Gods

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Hilna swiftly snapped the two ill-intentioned scoundrels in two, stepped forward, and bowed deeply.

Although she currently appears as a human, one can still sense the innate elegance of a high elf.

"How have you been lately?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the motionless corpse lying on the ground and asked with a smile.

"Not bad! Except for having to deal with guys who can't control their desires all the time." Hilna shrugged helplessly. "By the way, is there something important you need to tell me?"

In fact, this was not the first time she had encountered a similar situation; it happened almost every day, sometimes as many as six or seven times.

Beauty is a sin in this ugly society, especially when the one who possesses it is a seemingly delicate woman.

“That’s right! I’ve come to inform you that your pleasant holiday is over. Come on, I’ll take you on a thrilling hunt.” Zhang Cheng made no attempt to hide anything and stated his purpose frankly.

The word "hunting" clearly awakened the demon hunter side within Hilna, and a beautiful smile immediately appeared on her lips: "May I ask who the prey is?"

"Sorry, I'm not entirely sure who the prey is right now. But I can tell you, it's very likely a special life form called God. How about that, isn't it exciting?"

As he said this, Zhang Cheng reached out his right hand and gently stroked the other person's smooth chin, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"God? Interesting! My twin blades have never been stained with the blood of a god. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Suddenly, deadly fel fire erupted from Hilna's body, burning away all her clothes and revealing the armor and weapons hidden beneath.

At the same time, the true nature of the treasure, which had been concealed by the deceptive orb, was fully revealed.

A perfect blend of beauty and evil!

"Shit! Can you tell me what the hell this is?!"

Bernie, who saw all this through the monitor, couldn't help but tremble all over and accidentally knocked over the coffee cup next to the mouse.

boom!

The sound of the cup hitting the floor echoed in the corridor.

Upon hearing the sound, the ever-vigilant Zhang Cheng immediately locked onto the corresponding door and said meaningfully, "Ah, there's a little mouse spying on me. Take care of it for me. Don't forget to come to my place before sunset tomorrow."

"Don't worry! I'll take care of everything..." Hilna sneered as she rushed into the room near the door.

Before long, Bernie's screams echoed throughout the entire apartment building.

Chapter 0713 Onyxia's Happy Life

Just as Hilna shed her angelic disguise, the Black Dragon Princess, far away in a luxury apartment in Manhattan, was lying on a soft, large bed, enjoying a comprehensive, three-dimensional service from head to toe from two female masseuses.

Clearly, she much preferred the feeling of controlling everything through money and power to the decadent aristocratic life in Stormwind.

Especially those seemingly worthless little green pieces of paper, which can drive countless people crazy, making them wish they could exchange everything they own for them.

In just a few months, Onyxia had already basically figured out the workings of the United States of America and the many privileges that a rich person could enjoy.

In her eyes, this country, filled with struggle, cooperation, and money-power transactions, was practically tailor-made for her.

If all the nobles of Stormwind had acted like American politicians, she would have become a true queen long ago, instead of having her identity exposed and being forcibly expelled.

However, the Black Dragon Princess did not forget Zhang Cheng's warning and never dared to be too presumptuous. She merely killed her nominal husband and then used a little magic to shut up those who had the right to inherit. She then swallowed nearly 80% of the inheritance and used the remaining 20% ​​to symbolically send off a few other relatives who had the right to inherit.

Currently, she is a well-known widow in New York's high society, with access to clubs that provide social platforms for the powerful and wealthy, where she can meet face-to-face with important figures such as the mayor, councilors, police chiefs, bankers, and billionaires, and even make some secret deals.

After all, any man with a normal sexual orientation would refuse a sexy and charming mature woman, especially one who also has a considerable fortune.

Just as Onyxia was pondering how to acquire more wealth and power without disturbing too many people, she suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation.

Before she could even react to what was happening, Zhang Cheng passed through the portal and appeared out of thin air on the balcony of the apartment.

Fortunately, the two masseuses kept their heads down and didn't notice the scene outside the window, otherwise they probably would have screamed at the top of their lungs.

"Alright! You all get out! I want to be alone for a while." The Black Dragon Princess quickly sat up, covered her front with a bath towel, and took out a few banknotes from her wallet and handed them to the other person.

"Thank you for your generosity, madam."

Have a pleasant evening.

Upon discovering they had received double the service fee and tip, the latter's faces immediately lit up with delight. They smiled, bowed, turned, pushed open the door, and disappeared down the corridor.

Seeing that the unrelated people had left, Zhang Cheng pushed open the French windows and entered the room. While admiring Onyxia's almost perfect human form, he teased with a half-smile, "Massage and oil massage? You know how to enjoy yourself better than I thought. How does it feel to be rich?"

"Not bad! I like it here! I especially like the intense, heartfelt desires of the people here. You know what? In Azeroth, whether they are humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, or undead, orcs, tauren, or trolls, they all have an indescribable kind of tenacity deep down. It is this tenacity that makes them very difficult to buy off with money or power. But your world is different. Here, there are very few people who are unmoved by money or power."

After saying that, the Black Dragon Princess picked up a glass of expensive, top-grade brandy, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp, licking her alluring red lips with lingering satisfaction.

"You haven't given up on those pointless ambitions yet?" Zhang Cheng asked in surprise.

Onyxia rolled her eyes with a captivating air and retorted bluntly, "Why should I give up? I'm a born queen, and I love the feeling of wielding power. Besides, didn't you say that as long as I don't misuse magic, I can do whatever I want? Are you going back on your word now?"

“No, that’s not what I meant.” Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly. “What I meant was that rights are essentially a manifestation of social needs in social relations; they are something that extends from social needs. Simply put, it’s the desire to integrate into society and gain social recognition. I don’t understand why a powerful species like yours, which is born far superior to humans, would desire to integrate into humans and gain their recognition? If it were a group of dragons, I wouldn’t find it strange at all, because you are life forms on the same level.”

"You mean... I subconsciously wish to be one of the human beings?" The Black Dragon Princess frowned subconsciously.

It's quite obvious that she doesn't agree with this theory at all.

"Isn't that right? Think carefully about what you've done! Although your goal in Azeroth was to weaken Stormwind from within, you were also constantly seizing power and trying to take its place. What you really want isn't destruction, but recognition. Only when a person truly understands their own desires can they become the master of their desires, instead of being dominated by them," Zhang Cheng analyzed meaningfully.

"Damn it! What are you saying? I don't understand a word!" Onyxia was clearly touched on a sensitive nerve, and her emotions immediately became irritable and restless.

But Zhang Cheng seemed not to see anything and continued to say, "It's okay if you don't understand. I suggest you read Maslow and his theory of five basic needs. You should know that knowledge is power. If you ignore knowledge, you will suffer a great loss before long. Also, I came here to inform you that there is an exciting hunt in three days. You may be summoned at that time, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Hunting?!" The Black Dragon Princess keenly grasped the key word.

“Yes! I’m going to explore the legendary golden city of the Incas, where a god is said to live.” Zhang Cheng answered without hesitation.

"God? Hmph!" Onyxia laughed dismissively.

As Deathwing's biological daughter, she was undoubtedly well aware that most so-called gods were merely powerful individual beings, far from being as omnipotent as mortals believed.

"Anyway, it's never a bad thing to be careful. Alright, continue enjoying your life, I won't disturb your fun any longer."

As the last word escaped his lips, Zhang Cheng activated the teleportation spell once more, vanishing without a trace.

Staring at the empty carpet, the Black Dragon Princess threw her bath towel onto the sofa next to her, and opened her laptop naked, entering keywords such as Maslow and the five basic needs into the search engine.

moment!

A large amount of related content was then listed out in great detail.

At first, I was dismissive, but soon I became deeply attracted.

She never imagined that seemingly simple psychological activities and desires could hide such complex motivations. Combined with her own actions, she immediately had an inexplicable realization.

Chapter 0714 Opening the Entrance

Three days is neither a short nor a long time.

But for Zhang Cheng, who was actively preparing for the competition, it almost passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fourth day, he took the fully armed demon hunter Hilna and boarded a small yacht docked in New York Harbor.

Lavern, who had been waiting for a long time, activated the ultra-long-distance teleportation magic circle without saying a word, instantly teleporting everyone from North America to Colombia, one of the most "famous" countries in South America.

Of course, this "famous" is not a compliment, but rather a form of irony.

Since the 1980s, this country has been the world's largest producer of drugs, and it even gave rise to the legendary drug lord Pablo Escobar and his powerful Medellín drug cartel.

Although chemical drugs are replacing traditional drugs in a cheaper and more stimulating way with the arrival of the 21st century, Colombian drug cartels remain a force to be reckoned with in the drug market.

However, none of this has much to do with this trip. They didn't come to South America, known as "magical realism," for the sake of the interests and troubles of the ordinary world. Instead, they came to the deepest part of Lake Guadavida to open the entrance to the City of Gold.

Many Europeans obsessed with gold naively believed that the Incas threw a large amount of gold artifacts into the lake when the Spanish army invaded, and therefore had always wanted to drain the lake in order to obtain the wealth that would drive a nation mad.

The truth is that the last successor of the Inca Empire forced the priests to open the entrance to the City of Gold through bloody sacrifices, sending all the wealth and the souls of the dead Incas inside, leaving almost nothing for the Spanish invaders.

Unfortunately, very few people know the truth, and almost all of them are residents of the underworld; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many farces about failed treasure hunts later on.

After about 30 minutes by car from the town of Guadavida, the group arrived at the scenic shore of Lake Guadavida.

It must be said that this lake is indeed very beautiful, like an emerald inlaid on the earth, giving people endless imagination.

But before Zhang Cheng could even appreciate the surrounding scenery, a super heavy-duty truck towing a heavy container drove towards him and came to a steady stop less than thirty meters from the lake.

The man who jumped off the carriage was none other than Faust, who had come all the way from distant Europe.

He first glanced at Hilna, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, before greeting her, "Sorry, my goods were stuck at customs for more than half an hour, so I'm a little late."

“It’s not late, we just arrived too. Also, I’m a little curious, who would dare to block your shipment?” Lavern pursed his lips, revealing an interested expression.

“A greedy, stupid fat pig! You know what? This guy openly demanded a bribe from me and threatened not to let the container pass through the country unless I gave him $50,000.”

As Faust spoke these words, a chilling light flashed in his eyes, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop several degrees.

"An ordinary person? I'm starting to admire his courage! So, is this guy still alive?" Lavern burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Faust's reaction was quite the opposite; he replied with a grim face, "Don't worry, he's still alive, because I don't want to attract the attention of the South American Supreme Council for the time being. But after this operation, I promise to kill him and all his relatives and friends."

“Even so, I still admire him a little. After all, he accomplished something that even the Angel Legion couldn’t do back then,” Lavern continued teasingly, barely suppressing a laugh.

Having known each other for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen the other person get the short end of the stick; just thinking about it was quite amusing.

"That's enough. Don't forget, we have more important things to do. This is not the time for jokes." Faust rolled his eyes in annoyance, controlling the undead driving the truck, and slammed the gas pedal into Lake Guadavida.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Cheng immediately looked surprised and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Could that container be filled entirely with undead creatures?"

"Hehe! You guessed it! Do you know what my biggest gain was when I attacked the Vatican? It wasn't the powerful magical artifacts stored in the Vatican's secret chambers, nor the countless gold and silver jewels, but rather six hundred perfectly preserved angel corpses, including their souls. And through a special method, I transformed all of these corpses into angels of death..."

As the last word escaped his lips, a cruel, triumphant smile spread across Faust's face.

"I see..." Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

He now finally understood why the forces of Heaven had gone mad back then, risking a two-front war against both the Council and the forces of Hell, to send a large number of Judgment Angels into the human world to search for the murderer.

It's important to understand that Heaven isn't a place where demons reproduce at a rate comparable to cockroaches. The birth of each angel requires a considerably long process, and although they are exceptionally powerful, their numbers are far fewer.

They can tolerate the killing of angels, but they absolutely cannot tolerate the abduction of angels' souls and their transformation into other life forms.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's hurry down to the bottom of the lake and see what secrets the Golden City holds. After all, tourists might arrive soon, and I don't like being stared at like a monkey in a zoo."

Having said that, Lavern took out the golden mural and swaggered toward the center of the lake.

The moment one of his feet touched the water, the lake water made a splashing sound and parted in the middle to create a straight channel.

From the deepest part of the lake, covered in silt, one can vaguely see that these were originally man-made stone steps.

Without needing to communicate verbally, Zhang Cheng immediately followed, and in no time they arrived in front of an underwater structure shaped like a pyramid.
