Armipotent - Chapter 1664: Fail Raid
Tang Shaoyang and Vandir looked at the thing that fell next to Birom. It was a beast, a four-headed lion. The dark mane covered the neck down to the back. Smoke billowed from the paws, and it had no tail. Ten meters long and four meters tall, lying down no longer breathing.
The beast’s condition was perfect. No big wound on its body still had all four legs. There was no hole with a bloody wound. The body was flawless, making people wonder how the creature died.
Before Tang Shaoyang could ask Vandir’s opinion, the skeleton immediately took the body. The Death King immediately brought back the beast alive in excitement.
The four pairs’ eyes opened, and the four-headed beast immediately stood up. It had black eyes, all black. Its ankles lit up in the black fire, the mane lit up in the black fire as well, and it had tails now. It regrew the tails, three tails made of black fire.
It scanned the surroundings before it treaded toward Vandir, asking for a pet. Vandir was too happy to give it the pet and returned to the Spirit World of its volition. The skeleton did not care about Lando anymore or even cared for his task of gathering the bodies.
The skeleton embarrassed him for sure, leaving without saying anything. But people could tell that the skeleton was satisfied with the compensation.
Tang Shaoyang looked up and was about to complain, but Arion was gone a long time ago. The guy disappeared from the sky as if he never came.
“My skeleton likes the compensation, so we will not pursue it further,” Tang Shaoyang walked toward Lando and took the Dryad Calamity’s body from Lando, “But this is mine. If you want it, then you should come with me and kill it yourself.”
He did not wait for Lando to say anything as he immediately put the body into his inventory.
“Everything around here is mine! What I killed is mine, but you can do anything outside this area! Take what you kill!” He declared.
“That’s not fair! We found this place first, and we fought together!”
Of course, people would not just accept it. A Senior Administrator, not from Birom and Ayson’s team, stepped out and did not accept the declaration.
“We fought together? When? I don’t recall any of you on my side during the battle? Isn’t it fair to get what you kill? Isn’t that the rule?”
Tang Shaoyang would not give up easily of course. In fact, he was being less greedy for not taking the Dryad Calamity near the wall already. Even though he could not use them for his spirit advancement, he could use them to summon a new spirit. It might be enough to summon a Mythical Spirit or even a Low Archaic Spirit.
He was confused even more about what they wanted to take from this humanoid calamity? Part of their bodies could not be used as materials. There were no horns, teeth, or even leather that could be useful. But then he realized the armor, sword, and robes could be re-used to make something new.
Birom was relieved of that one problem thanks to Executive Arion, but he had to face a new problem. He understood Tang Shaoyang’s perspective, but he also understood the others’ perspective.
However, this one was easier to solve than the previous one. Both sides had not yet lost anything, different from the previous issue.
“As Tang Shaoyang said, you take what you kill. That’s a common spoil split. We will do that here as well!”
When The Chief Administrator said it, the other teams could not say much.
“This is still unfair! We found this place!” The same person who complained earlier could not accept this, but Birom calmed the man down.
“Be grateful that he is willing to share the ones in the outer area. It’s not an exaggeration to say he killed that thing by himself. None of us helped him in the fight, we didn’t lose anyone in the fight as well. This is a good result for a kingdom fight!”
The man accepted it after being persuaded by Birom. Birom then returned to Tang Shaoyang’s side.
“We are grateful for your help. Without you, it might take us days or even weeks to beat this thing. We might lose many people as well.”
That was Birom’s genuine feeling. He still remembered how many died in his first battle against a kingdom. It was a miracle that all of them were survived. It was as if there was no risk in fighting the kingdom even though he knew very well the risk.
“THOSE FOOLS!”
Arion’s angry voice resonated in the air. No one knew where he was from the voice until the person next to Birom and Tang Shaoyang.
“5th Fort tried to take a kingdom near their location without reporting to me. They failed miserably, and the kingdom is now attacking the fort. Go there and help them!”
Tang Shaoyang almost took out the map that Arion gave him. But he remembered no one was supposed to know that map. He pretended to look at Ira who had regrouped with him.
“Do you know where 5th Fort is?”
Of course, Ira did not know. She shook her head, “I don’t know. I don’t think we have explored that big area yet.”
“I know where it is, and you just need to follow me!” Arion was annoyed by the farce.
There were Administrators to be saved, and Tang Shaoyang still acted like this.
“You can bring Birom and the other teams first. I still have things to take care of. I will have one of my spirits follow you, so I can switch places later,” He pointed at the dead calamities around him.
Arion looked at Birom and the other teams. They were excited to fight another kingdom, meaning more rewards for them. However, The Executive Administrator shook his head.
“They are too slow to follow me. A few of them could match my pace, but I don’t the others could. Those people in the 5th Fort might die before we arrive if I follow their pace. Get one of your spirits to follow me. The fastest one!”
