Chapter 1653  You Better Not Stop Me

Tang Shaoyang could feel Karoen’s struggle. The knight wanted to be resurrected so badly, but he also wanted advancement.

“Take your time, Karoen. It will take a while for me to finish the mission. Maybe I will have enough Spirit Energy by the end of the mission.”

He tried to comfort the knight, but he did not dawdle to make Karoen speak. What the Void Knight wanted to do when he was resurrected and so on. If Karoen did not want to tell him, then he would not pry.

Tang Shaoyang then tried Rank 7 Calamity for Intermediate Archaic Spirit. He hoped it would still be valuable for the Intermediate Archaic Spirit. He still had more than twenty thousand of them.

0.01%

He expected it to be low, but not this low. His expectation was 0.1% for one body, but it was lower than that.

[Ten thousand Rank 7 Calamity for one advancement.]

Maldros came up with the number first, faster than Avyn and Zara. That was the number for one advancement to intermediate rank.

Then he tried Rank 8 Calamity. He had a little over eight Rank 8 Calamity in his inventory. He wished for one Rank 8 Calamity worth 0.1%, but it was not up to his expectation.

0.06%

One Rank 8 Calamity was 0.05% progression. That meant he needed two thousand Rank 8 Calamity for one upgrade. That was still low. He did not have enough for twenty-three spirits.

Then he checked Rank 9 Calamity in his inventory. There were 1829 Rank 9 Calamities. He took one to check the number.

0.56%

Even Rank 9 Calamity was just worth 0.5 for intermediate Archaic Spirit. He thought of saving Rank 9 and Unique Rank for High Archaic Spirit. But he might need the Rank 9 Calamity right now.

First, he used the twenty thousand Rank 7 Calamities just to get rid of them from his inventory. Zara and Karan reached a high rank. Then he used all eight thousand Rank 8 Calamities for four spirits: Baccara, Afi, Bronson, and Malki.

The six spirits did not obtain a new title from the advancement. But for sure they acquired new knowledge from the advancement.

Tang Shaoyang decided to keep the Rank 9 and Unique Rank Calamities for later. It was already a big harvest for him. One new Pinnacle Archaic Spirit, six High Archaic Spirits, and seventeen Intermediate Archaic Spirits.

Finishing up his business, he looked around. He could continue his exploration or return to the 17th fort. He had a new target now, the calamity kingdom. It might be too greedy to get the remaining sixteen kingdoms.

“I need to get at least eight or maybe ten more kingdoms,” He muttered in a low voice.

But that was a problem with his team. They did not want to fight the calamity kingdom for sure. It was better to go on his own.

Tang Shaoyang was not irresponsible. They chose to join his team despite his risk, so yeah, he could not leave them behind. He did not know if the other teams might target them because of him.

The choice was obvious, returning to the fort. It was fortunate that Karoen set up a portal gate that directly connected to the fort not far from the ruin. His knight set up the long-distance portal so he could return as soon as possible.

One week’s journey was cut short in less than a minute. He returned to the fort through teleportation.

Entering the fort, Tang Shaoyang heard a commotion from the main area. He raised his right eyebrow, trying to identify the voice. It was a surprisingly familiar voice; it belonged to Nayla and Renan.

Both were begging and asking for help from the other teams in the fort to save him. However, their pleas were responded to by mockery, laughter, and curses.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and smiled, “Can’t they trust their Captain?”

He was glad that they were asking the other teams for help. That showed how cared they were. They lowered their pride and begged for help for him. That was enough to earn his trust. Of course, he was not so naive to fully trust them yet.

Heading toward the main area, his smile faded, replaced with a frown. The situation escalated as the pleas turned into an argument, and then it turned into violence. He heard screams from his team.

He hurried over, and by the time he got there. Ira was on the ground, with her face kissing the ground and a red-haired woman sat on her head.

A beastkin grabbed Agnes’s wrist, hanging her in the air. Two men slapped her smooth face.

Lucia had it worse, there was a sword on her thigh and shoulder. Renan covered for her, with seven swords on his back. Someone was above Kiara, punching her face. Nayla tried to stop The Senior Administrator who tried to throw more swords at Renan.

Nayla was the only one safe, that showed her background that might be even bigger than Ira.

One thing that Tang Shaoyang did not understand. Why didn’t they fight back? While they might get overwhelmed by the numbers. It would not be easy to take them down. But why didn’t they fight back? Why would they let it happen?

“Help!? Do you think we will help your stupid leader!? He fights the Calamity Kingdom by himself? Who does he think he is!?” Nôv(el)B\jnn

“Yo! Yo! Stop the violence! We need to keep them in good condition, or else how are we going to enjoy our nights? No one could protect them, let’s have fun and feed them to Calamity!”

“We bring a lot of healing and stamina potions. They would not die from something like this, so let them have fun first.”

It was followed by lecherous laughter.

Tang Shaoyang was about to stop them, but then he sensed a presence above. He looked up and found Arion was there. He did not know how, but Arion almost erased his presence, so no one detected him.

Arion just watched everything happen from above, not even trying to stop these people.

“Since you don’t have the intention to stop them, you better not stop me too, Arion!” His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
