「Blindness」 The two figures collided instantly.
Tang Zheng fell rapidly from the air, the force of his descent combined with the passive skills 'Aura of Courage' and 'Weapon Additional Specialization', generating nearly three times the attack power.
Boom!
A huge, ear-splitting collision sound spread through the forest. A powerful shockwave erupted from the center of the two, instantly clearing and shattering the lush branches and leaves of the surrounding bizarre trees.
Leaving them completely bare! Forest Sage Hamsuke let out a shriek, its waving sharp forelimbs forced back by the astonishing force, colliding with its own chest.
Thump-thump—
Forest Sage Hamsuke's seemingly fat, oval body was sent flying like a ball, smashing through dozens of trees before finally stopping.
"How infuriating!"
"How did your strength suddenly become so great!"
Forest Sage Hamsuke shouted angrily, its rolling body scrambling up from the ground, shaking off wood chips and leaf debris, its bright, fierce eyes glaring at Tang Zheng.
"That level of attack didn't even cause any obvious injuries?" Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at the almost unscathed Forest Sage Hamsuke in the distance.
Just how thick is this guy's skin?
Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that even the two-handed greatsword that the Bone King had created using the seventh-tier Magic 'Superior Item Creation' hadn't seemed to easily break through Forest Sage Hamsuke's defense.
"To be able to knock this one away, it seems you used some kind of technique, but you can be proud, strong human."
The whiskers on Forest Sage Hamsuke's cheeks stood up, seemingly very angry: "This one will savor your flavor properly."
As soon as the words fell.
Forest Sage Hamsuke's body sank down.
A black afterimage shot out from behind Forest Sage Hamsuke, appearing before Tang Zheng in the blink of an eye with extraordinary speed.
Bang!!
Quickly swinging his magic greatsword to block in front of him, the black-gray, scale-covered tail struck the magic greatsword heavily, causing his arm to sink.
Tang Zheng swung the magic greatsword, deflecting the black-gray tail to the side, and quickly charged forward, preparing to approach Forest Sage Hamsuke again.
Whoosh—
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he forcibly stopped his forward momentum, his legs quickly exerting force to jump back.
That thick, black-gray tail actually curved flexibly in mid-air, attacking Tang Zheng from the side.
Once again, he swung the magic greatsword, colliding with the tail and producing a dull sound! However! The thick tail moved with extreme agility, like a supple snake, quickly wrapping around the magic greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand and pulling downwards with force.
Having just changed his movements and not yet steady on his feet, Tang Zheng's balance was disrupted by the sudden downward pull, causing him to lean forward uncontrollably, crashing towards the tail wrapped around the magic greatsword.
Bang—bang—
In that instant!
The dense layers of scales on the black-gray tail all stood up, turning into sharp blades.
"Instant Reflex!"
Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and a blue light flashed across his body. His forward-leaning, unbalanced state was forcibly reversed, and he steadied his feet.
Immediately after.
Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold as he gripped the hilt of the magic greatsword with both hands and slammed it forcefully into the ground.
The blade of the magic greatsword slashed at the tail wrapped around the sword, colliding with the fine, blade-like scales, producing an ear-piercing metallic grinding sound and sparking dense showers of sparks!
Whoosh! The black-gray tail quickly released the magic greatsword it had wrapped around.
Boom!
A loud noise came from above, and a shadow enveloped Tang Zheng.
He saw Forest Sage Hamsuke, who had been in the distance, suddenly leap, easily crossing a distance of more than ten meters, appearing above his head and pressing down heavily.
"Blindness!" Forest Sage Hamsuke's slightly sharp cry rang out, and a pattern similar to a magic circle flashed across its body.
Not good!
Tang Zheng was slightly startled, feeling his eyes darken and his vision rapidly fading. He almost forgot that this hamster had other magical means.
This wasn't a mental Magic, but a negative status effect, so he naturally couldn't use 'Undead's Spirit' to defend against it.
On his stat panel, 'Divinely Blessed Body' flickered slightly! This was the passive ability that could reduce all negative statuses by half.
Tang Zheng, who should have completely lost his sight, now felt as if there was a translucent membrane between his eyes, and his vision was still very blurry.
The sound of Forest Sage Hamsuke falling reached Tang Zheng's ears, and the sudden impact on his vision made Tang Zheng's evasive movements a beat slower.
Even if he could dodge completely!
In his current blurred vision, Tang Zheng couldn't accurately observe Forest Sage Hamsuke's attack movements.
"Impure Impact Shield!"
Tang Zheng let out a cold shout.
Boom!
A black energy shockwave instantly spread out from Tang Zheng's center.
"What is this—ah!"
Forest Sage Hamsuke, who was falling from the air, didn't even have time to react before being blasted away again by this irresistible force, crashing into the forest dozens of meters away with a loud bang.
"Flight!" Tang Zheng cast the Magic, leaving the ground and quickly soaring into the air.
Forest Sage Hamsuke dazedly got up from the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The powerful impact just now had clearly caused it some internal injuries.
Boom! The ground shook, and decaying leaves scattered.
Forest Sage Hamsuke moved its limbs, its eyes bloodshot, and charged out of the distant forest, rushing towards Tang Zheng's previous location, only to find it empty.
"Damn human! Get down here, you lowly one!"
Forest Sage Hamsuke noticed Tang Zheng hovering in the air at this time and shouted angrily.
Ignoring the shouting below! Tang Zheng chose to ignore it, waiting about five or six minutes for the 'Blindness' effect to completely dissipate.
Looking down! Forest Sage Hamsuke's bloodshot eyes collided with Tang Zheng's cold gaze.
In a brief moment! "Die!"
Tang Zheng swooped down again, this time even faster than before, the strong airflow causing his loose robes to flutter.
"Get down here, you lowly one!"
Forest Sage Hamsuke straightened up, raised its two front paws, revealing sharp black claws, and at the same time, its body lowered, and its scale-covered tail shot up, straight into the sky.
The black tail's afterimage turned into a long whip, breaking through the air in front of it, attacking directly!
Tang Zheng's falling figure sidestepped, avoiding the tail's direct attack.
At a height of twenty meters, with Tang Zheng's diving speed, the two sides appeared in front of each other in almost a single breath.
At the same moment!
Forest Sage Hamsuke waved its front paws, ten sharp nails emitting a cold light as they slashed over, while the tail that had shot out also suddenly turned in mid-air, forming a pincer attack.
The same attack method as before!
In a short time, Forest Sage Hamsuke had figured out a countermeasure, and its eyes, faintly filled with bloodshot veins, revealed an excited and ferocious look.
Suddenly!
Forest Sage Hamsuke noticed that the hateful human rushing towards it had a meaningful mockery in his eyes.
"Do you know why I would use the same attack method?"
Tang Zheng's voice rang out, and he shouted: "Dark Wave!"
Whoosh! The dark energy shock formed by the curse penetrated Forest Sage Hamsuke's body, and the other party's tail, which was turning back, and its waving front paws, froze in place at the same time.
"Of course, it's to lure you in!"
"Did you really think you could be fearless just because of your defensive abilities!"
The Magic greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand instantly disappeared, replaced by an ordinary Iron Sword, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he aimed at Forest Sage Hamsuke's eyes: "Four Light Consecutive Slash · Break!"
Four sharp sword beams appeared in mid-air, instantly merging into one as they pierced towards Forest Sage Hamsuke's eyes!
This attack was prepared specifically to counter Forest Sage Hamsuke's troublesome defense!
In the anime, Brain achieved this effect by using the skill Domain to increase accuracy, while Tang Zheng used the opposite approach.
Four Light Consecutive Slash appears to unleash four slashes in an instant, but in reality, each attack has a sequential order.
When his level was low, Tang Zheng couldn't perceive this change, but as his strength increased, the order of the four slashes became clear.
It sounds complicated! In reality, it's about using stronger base attributes to combine the trajectories of the four slashes into one, simply forcing the four slashes to strike the same spot, creating a heavy impact-style damage.
This was inspired by Gaguran of Blue Rose, who can unleash a super continuous attack of 15 consecutive strikes like a storm.
Tzz—
The blade screamed as it pierced through the air! The only thing Forest Sage Hamsuke could do was subconsciously close its eyes, but the defense of its eyelids was obviously not enough to block this long-planned attack! The eyelids were instantly torn apart! Fist-sized eyeballs were exposed to the blade and pierced through in an instant.
"Aaaah!!!"
Intense pain instantly surged through Forest Sage Hamsuke's entire body, causing it to let out a scream that echoed through the jungle.
Just as Tang Zheng was preparing to continue stabbing, piercing through the opponent's head in one go! Forest Sage Hamsuke, in intense pain and the instant the cursed state disappeared, twisted its body, flinging out the Iron Sword that had pierced its eye socket.
Screaming, it turned and fled into the depths of the jungle!
