Armipotent - Chapter 1568: Hunter and Prey 8
Tang Shaoyang did not really know what [World Decay] actually did. It drained the life force from nature, and it had a sinister effect as well. That was what he got from trying it against Mourad. But he still did not know whether the skill made his strike stronger, or if the skill had any other effects.
Looking at Mourad whimpering, Tang Shaoyang shook his head. It was disappointing for a God Rank to give up the fight after losing a single clash. It was like when a spoiled child fought, got punched once, and gave up then cried.
Then he swung the battle axe downward, hitting Mourad’s chest. The battle sunk into his chest. His mouth spurted blood, looking at Tang Shaoyang with an undeliverable gaze.
“W-where… Y-your honor? I-I have surrendered…”
Tang Shaoyang chuckled after hearing such absurd words from Mourad, “Do you have to bring up an honor in your last moment? You gather people to gang up on me, and you are still talking about honor?”
He did not want to continue this nonsense conversation and tried the skill he could not before, [World Siphon]. There was no notification from the System, meaning the skill was active.
Tang Shaoyang witnessed what the skill did. The skill sucked out everything from the target. He witnessed how the skill drained everything from Mourad. His brown skin turned purple pale, his body became skinnier, then lost his hair, and his eyeballs fell off from the socket, and it was followed by the sound of cracking bone.
Mourad’s body folded forward because the frame had become so fragile that the bones could not properly support his sitting posture. That was so awful even for Tang Shaoyang who had seen a lot of things.
[Your damage increased by 200% for one hour!]
[Your attributes increased by 50% for one hour!]
[Your attack has a 20% chance to apply [Decay]!]
Those were the notifications after he heard the notification killing Mourad. He guessed what he got from using [World Siphon]. Then he got a clue what happened to Mourad’s right arm. It was [Decay] effect.
“I understand now why this thing is called World Destroyer.”
This weapon might destroy a world if he used it recklessly. With this experiment, he made up his mind to never use it when he was on Earth. He did not want Earth to become a wasteland.
With the death of Mourad, the domain was canceled. He returned to his original spot with the dried Mourad. The ominous energy was also still lingering around his battle axe. It looked like he had not used everything from the [World Decay].
“Can this body still be used for sacrifice?” Then he fell on Mourad’s pitiful body. He was unsure if the body had a value for the sacrifice. Before he could decide whether to take the body or not, the skin cracked and turned into black dust, getting blown away by the wind, leaving nothing behind. Even the fragile bone turned into dust.
“I don’t think that body has any value for me.”
The skill reminded him of [Slayer Absorption]. It was similar, but [Slayer Absorption] absorbed the enemy’s energy and flesh, turning them into attributes, levels, and Slayer Energy. Meanwhile, [World Siphon] absorbed everything from the target and converted those to a temporary buff.
As he was distracted by the new skills, three people jumped at him from behind. Even without his Absolute Sense, he could see them with his Chaos Eyes. He was no longer in the domain.
He swung the battle axe with his right, a full swing toward the three people in the air. It was exactly the same as what happened with Mourad. The three people were sent flying. But this time, he put the battle axe on the ground and directed his hand toward the three. Then he used [Gravity Pull].
Before the three could get too far away, he pulled them back. His massive hand managed to grab two people’s bodies in one hand. Then he slammed the three to the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook as a black fire pillar rose in the air, burning the three people alive. The three survived from his fire, but that was not for long. He released one person in his right from his grip. He raised his hand and executed [Heavenly Crushing Strike]. His fist shot toward the one person to his right.
Splat! Boom!
His fist went through his head and hit the ground. The ground cracked from the impact, leaving a bloody body with no head. Then he followed with [Heavenly Crushing Grasp]. He destroyed the two people in his left hand. They screamed before dying in his hand.
The three bodies instantly disappeared from his hand as he picked up the battle axe again. He then glanced at the remaining people who witnessed everything from start to finish.
“Don’t get fazed! Use your spell! We still have more people with us!”
Dozens of spell circles formed around Tang Shaoyang, from all directions. They barraged him with their spells. The Thunder struck Tang Shaoyang from above, and all kinds of fire spells were thrown at him, everything was thrown at him at the same time. It created a storm because a high-ranked spell clashed together.
The raging spell slowly calmed, but the aftermath was obvious. It created a pit, a scorching pit, and they finally saw whether their spell worked on Tang Shaoyang or not. At the center of the pit, Tang Shaoyang froze himself with Ethereal Frost, and no spell managed to break the ice.
The ice broke apart as Tang Shaoyang came out, unscathed even though over a hundred spells were thrown at him. Not even a burn mark or scratch, let alone a wound.
“This weapon is a little bit dangerous,” Tang Shaoyang muttered as he swapped World Destroyer with Nightfall. The big and long sword was no fit with his body which also grew bigger.
“Let’s end the fight right now!” He found his target and executed [Heavenly Revoke].
His figure blurred and in that instant, he arrived in front of his target, a party of four.
