Khajiit stood atop the dilapidated Temple, coldly staring at Tang Zheng opposite him, revealing a sinister and cruel smile, "I've been thinking about how to get revenge, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep, even bringing the 'Death Orb' with you."
"Although the original plan was disrupted by you, as long as I kill you and take back the 'Death Orb', it's just a waste of some time."
A gloomy aura permeated the air.
Clap! Clap! Tang Zheng raised his hand, gently patting the red Magic Robe on his body, as if to brush away the dust clinging to it.
"You seem very confident, old friend."
Tang Zheng was also curious as to how Khajiit had managed to endure until now before deciding to make his move completely.
Besides wanting to know his true purpose, the other party must have complete confidence in defeating him to dare be so presumptuous.
"Self-righteous fool, you can't possibly understand the power of Zuranon, let alone the Terror of the Alliance Leader."
Khajiit's eyes grew colder, his hands gripping the Magic Staff in his hands, forcefully thrusting it into the ground, as a rich negative energy actually began to surge, "This is the brand new power I've mastered, a gift specially prepared for you!"
Thump! A rich negative energy surged from the Magic Staff and injected into the ground, followed by a vibration like the striking of a drum hammer.
A dark blue Magic array appeared beneath Khajiit's feet, and in an instant, a roar containing some kind of deterrent effect resounded from the Magic array.
Rattling! A zombie Demon Creature, completely rotten and seemingly formed from a large number of Undead, emerged from the Magic array, its massive size spanning between the two sides.
Its height even exceeded the dilapidated Temple, reaching over four meters tall.
Thump! The light of the Magic array did not dissipate.
Another Demon Creature emerged from the Magic array, but compared to the massive Corpse Collection Giant, this Demon Creature was of normal height, appearing similar to the Skeleton Warrior summoned by Third Tier Undead Summoning.
However, the color of its bones was dark red, and it wielded a dark red bone longsword, a dark red shield, and even carried a composite longbow on its back.
All three weapons harbored the dim light of Magic, this was an armed skeleton using Magic Item! The light of the Magic array dissipated, and two Undead Demon Creatures, one large and one small, appeared before Tang Zheng's eyes.
Seeing these two Demon Creatures.
"'Corpse Collection Giant', 'Red Skeleton Warrior'?" Tang Zheng raised his eyelids.
One was an aggregate-type zombie Demon Creature, and the other was a subspecies of Skeleton Warrior. Although both were Third Tier Undead, their actual combat power was stronger, reaching the Fourth Tier level.
These were not ordinary Undead, and normal Magic means could not summon these two types of Undead.
Just like the Death Knight that the Undead King liked to use the most, they were generally created or summoned using special skills.
"Arrogant bastard! Repent for your self-righteousness!"
Khajiit felt the powerful negative energy aura emanating from the two Demon Creatures, and a satisfied expression appeared on his gloomy face as he roared.
Khajiit did not stay in that legendary city of Undead for nothing, utilizing the negative energy there and the power of the Alliance Leader.
He created these two Undead Demon Creatures possessing the power of Fourth Tier Undead.
With Khajiit's Necromantic-specialized abilities, he could control 100 ordinary Undead in one go, but controlling powerful Undead was very limited, like this level.
Controlling these two was already his current limit.
Relying on these two Undead Demon Creatures, he was confident that he could kill Tang Zheng, recalling the battle back then.
Khajiit knew that Tang Zheng's strength should not be strong, even if he was stronger than him, he would at most be at the level of a Fourth Tier Magic Caster.
With this level of strength, he still wants to cooperate with their Alliance Leader?
What a joke!
"Kill him for me!" Khajiit controlled two Undead, rushing towards Tang Zheng, looking at the opposite side with great anticipation.
The expected panic and fluster did not occur.
"How boring."
Looking at the two Undead rushing towards him, Tang Zheng raised his palm expressionlessly, "Dragon Lightning!"
Blinding blue lightning instantly illuminated the night, transforming into a surging dragon-shaped lightning that flew out with a bang. The blue light flashed in the air.
The two Undead that had just been summoned were instantly reduced to ashes and dissipated. The terrifying lightning dissipated for the most part, but still released a range of aftershocks, attacking and continuing to blast towards Khajiit.

[Experience Bar: 1112322/410000]
"Fifth Tier Magic..."
"Lightning Resistance!"
Khajiit's sunken eye sockets trembled as he looked incredulously at the terrifying lightning entering his eyes. The composure he had before disappeared, and he cried out in horror.
Boom!
"Ah—"
The location where Khajiit was located was enveloped in electric light. As a scream rang out, the figure standing on the steps of the dilapidated Temple was blasted down, falling to the ground of the cemetery.
The blue electric light dissipated.
Khajiit lay on the ground in a disheveled state. With the resistance of "Lightning Resistance", coupled with the power of only the Dragon Lightning's aftershock.
It seemed that he had not suffered serious injuries, but there were many burn marks on his hands, face, and neck that were exposed outside the Magic Robe.
"How could... how could you possess such a powerful force?"
Khajiit supported himself on the ground with both hands, raised his head in a disheveled manner, and looked at Tang Zheng not far away, opening his mouth with fear and trembling.
The other party was clearly a powerful Magic Caster who possessed the power of Fifth Tier Magic, so why did he use the means of Disguise like "Angel Summoning" back then?
With the terrifying Magic power just now, he could have easily killed him back then.
Khajiit's eyes twitched, unable to understand, and an indescribable sense of frustration rose in his heart.
This bastard!
Having such a powerful force, yet being so careful—too cautious! Rustle~
Rustle~
The sound of footsteps approached him.
"Failed again." Khajiit felt a wail in his heart, suddenly finding his overconfident "confidence" laughable.
Was I going to die?
Khajiit knew that the Alliance Leader might allow him to fail once, but never a second time.
How unwilling he was! All his efforts had ultimately been defeated twice by the same person.
Tang Zheng came before Khajiit, looking at the figure who had given up resisting, and suddenly said, "Want to become Undead?"
Khajiit, who was preparing to die, looked up at Tang Zheng blankly.
"I originally wanted to cooperate with your Alliance Leader, but since you also possess the 'Spiral of Death' ritual, cooperating with you might not be a bad idea," Tang Zheng said.
The despairing and decadent expression on Khajiit's face slowly disappeared, and a strange light appeared in his pupils.
"Why?" Khajiit asked in disbelief.
"I said, what [Zuranon] is interested in is the 'Spiral of Death' ritual. I want to confirm whether this ritual can really turn humans into Undead."
"Since you want to become Undead so much, that's great. I can use you to verify it."
Tang Zheng said with a sneer, not concealing his purpose at all.
These words fell into Khajiit's ears like a god responding to the unwillingness in his heart, and the originally certain death situation was actually reversed.
Khajiit excitedly got up from the ground.
Even facing Tang Zheng, the enemy who had killed him once, was not worth mentioning compared to the deep desire to become Undead.
The mysterious person in front of him was very strong. Relying on the other party's strength might make up for the time wasted before, and even speed up the completion of his original plan.
"You're really not joking?" Khajiit's hands trembled, still feeling a little unbelievable.
"What do you think?" Tang Zheng took out the Death Orb, activated his Mana, and a huge Magic array appeared under his feet.
The next moment.
"Rumble!" A sound.
The roaring figure of a Bone Dragon flew out of the Magic array, suspended above the two, a white bone, emitting a faint light under the moonlight.
"Bone Dragon!"
"You, how did you do it!" Khajiit's eyes were dull.
He had spent more than a year collecting negative energy, but he could not meet the conditions to summon a Bone Dragon, and how long had the Death Orb been in the other party's hands?
No wonder this mysterious person was confident in wanting to cooperate with their Alliance Leader. Relying on the Bone Dragon's ability, apart from the Alliance Leader, the other high-ranking members were not his opponents.
Looking at Tang Zheng, who was wrapped in a red Magic Robe and seemed to be quietly watching him.
Khajiit bowed slightly, with an evil and excited smile on his face: "I will tell you everything I know and fully assist you in completing the 'Spiral of Death' ritual."
As the weaker party, Khajiit needed to show more of his value.
"Happy cooperation." A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Zheng's mouth behind the black mask. On closer thought, cooperating with Khajiit was more reassuring and easier to control.
Spiral of Death?
Others were not clear, but how could Tang Zheng not know the true origin of this Magic Ritual? Khajiit could not possibly succeed.
Even if it could be normally deployed, it would take at least a few years.
"Happy cooperation, old friend." Khajiit grinned, lowering his posture significantly. The scene where he couldn't wait to kill Tang Zheng not long ago seemed like an illusion.
Bang! Khajiit suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
Tang Zheng picked up the unconscious Khajiit and disappeared.
...
On the other side.
Holy Kingdom.
Holy Queen Calca and Quartet, without alarming any of the great nobles, had secretly dispatched a ten-person exploration team, which finally brought news amidst anxious waiting.
These ten were all experts in guerrilla warfare and thief techniques, recruited from the scout units of various forces within the Holy Kingdom. In terms of intelligence gathering, no one was more suitable than these ten.
Such elites were almost completely wiped out, with only one survivor.
When he was found, he was already near death. If it weren't for his tenacious will to hold on until he was rescued by a sea vessel, the entire team would have been annihilated.
Inside the palace.
Holy Queen Calca confirmed that the young man had regained consciousness under the treatment of several Shrine Priests and felt relieved: "It's good that he survived."
At the same time, she felt a little guilty and sad.
The other nine had all died in the Abelion Hills, and even their remains probably couldn't be found.
"Your Majesty, you need to rest well." A middle-aged secretary maid with standard etiquette stood solemnly to the side, reminding her.
"You also know the current situation, it must be dealt with as soon as possible." Holy Queen Calca heard the solemn voice beside her, a helpless smile appeared on her fair cheeks, and she explained softly.
"You don't need to explain to a servant." The middle-aged secretary maid's voice was still rigid. Holy Queen was good in every way, except that she was too kind and gentle in her personality.
