Armipotent - Chapter 1572: It's Not A Battle Royal 1
Tang Shaoyang checked his spirits, and they looked happy and well after the fight. But he noticed some who suffered as well. He realized that not all his spirits were as overpowered as Doombringer or Vandir who took the fight as a walk in the park. Despite doing less better than the others, the wounded spirits shared the same excitement after the battle.
Vandir was the first one to approach him, coming next to him, “Can you recall to the Spirit World? There’s something I need to fix.”
That was a surprise to hear coming from Vandir. The skeleton must have figured out something and wanted to experiment something with his undead.
Along with Vandir, he recalled the wounded spirits for them to recover as well. They recovered faster inside the Spirit World than here, after all. He recalled half of the spirits, leaving just fourteen spirits.
It was not just some that suffered from the battle against more than a hundred God Ranks, but more than half. All of them were the low-rank Archaic Spirit. With that, he had a plan for his newly acquired materials. Upgrading his spirit to the intermediate rank Archaic Spirit might be the best choice.
Getting them all to the intermediate rank might be the way. They could help him further later in the God Realm. He did not know what awaited him in the God Realm, so better to be prepared.
With the remaining fourteen spirits, he formed two teams. A team led by Doombringer, and the other team was him with four spirits. He was unsure whether to have Doombringer lead the team, but he was the strongest among his summoned spirits. Vandir was busy with his experiment, and Avyn was still in a weakened state.
If he chose someone else to lead, this big dog would not listen to whoever he chose. Doombringer was the typical spirit that only listened to someone stronger than him or on the same level as him. What assured him was that Doombringer behaved well lately, different from the first time he formed a contract with the behemoth.
Maldros the dragonewt, Zara, Orlean the demon, and Karoen stayed with him. The remaining spirits left with Doombringer. The four were doing well despite being low-rank Archaic Spirits in the battle.
Tang Shaoyang looked around, considering the direction he should choose. The goal of the last trial was to gain points as much as possible. He did not remember the time limit, but if he wiped all one thousand participants, that would end the trial.
Observing through Chaos Eyes, he was looking at the trace of movement around. However, he could not find any traces aside from the trace of the people he just fought.
“I guess all participants nearby are the people we just fought,” He picked the opposite direction from Doombringer.
Unlike before, he did not have Mourad who would gather people for him. He picked up his pace while keeping his Chaos Eyes up. There was no information on how big this place was, but since it was a battle royal. This place should be confined, maybe an island.
It took him fifteen minutes to find people. It was a party of two and both had a silver crown. The two were at the edge of his Chaos Eyes’ range. He ran to the direction, as the two also ran toward his direction.
It looked like the two were running from something. He was unsure if this place also had monsters as obstacles. But not long after, he found out who chased them. It was not a beast, but two parties of four. It looked like the two parties teamed up and ganged up on another party.
“It feels like everyone is at a party…” He muttered. It was good for him. That meant each encounter would be at least a party of two. He did not need to look at them one by one.
The pursuer was like thirty meters behind. The two parties were laughing as they chased their target. As if they were having fun, chasing the two. Tang Shaoyang was confused as to why the two did not just surrender.
He signaled his spirit targets were ahead, telling them to be prepared for a fight. The four spirits nodded and split up. They took the detour to flank the two parties. Zara and Maldros went to the left side. Orlean and Karoen went to the right side.
As the distance between him and the party of two shortened, he stopped above the tree. Not long after that, the two people who tried to run away came into his sight. They were jumping between the trees, quick and agile. That might be the reason why they continued to run, they were confident to escape as long as they were in the forest. Side by side, they jumped from one tree to another. The two focused on the pursuers and did not notice someone was in front of them.
Tang Shaoyang used Heavenly Steps, Heavenly Ethereal Shift. His figure shifted and appeared in between the two. He grabbed their necks and slammed the two to the ground.
Boom!
The two people’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting the ambush. They looked up at Tang Shaoyang in shock. Tang Shaoyang was about to activate his Heavenly Crushing Grasp, destroying their necks. But then the two were faster than him to surrender. The two were teleported out from his grasp, and he destroyed the ground into dust.
Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue, missing his timing. That meant they lost two materials, “I should just crush their neck the moment I got them.”
He raised his head and the two parties arrived before him. It was different from his previous encounter where people would surround him. They stood on the tree close to each other.
“It looks like someone is snatching our prey….” His playful voice quietened as he saw the crown above Tang Shaoyang’s head. Not just the crown, but also the points next to the crown, 8587.5 points.
“I think we should run from him, guys.”
The same man changed his tone, from playful to serious. It was barely an hour, but they met someone with more than eight thousand points. That meant the man in front of them had fought a lot and won each fight. With more than eight thousand points, that meant the man in front of them defeated the others quickly.
“I don’t think we can escape,” A female elf who was holding a bow said. Her eyes moved, scanning the area behind them. She found four presences from behind, “Four presences are hiding behind us.”
“And if I am not wrong, this guy is the bounty target. That means the four behind us might be his spirits.” The female elf concluded after a quick observation.
“It’s unlucky to meet him this soon, or maybe we are the lucky ones guys. Look at his total points. Defeating him will put us at the top for sure, no? Maybe we should fight him instead,” Another one suggested. That was the temptation of meeting someone with over eight thousand points.
Of course, Tang Shaoyang would not wait for them to finish their discussion. He opened the Heavenly Beast Gate, Heavenly White Tiger. Then he used Heavenly Steps, Heavenly Illusionary.
