TDG Fanfic: The Golden Throne - Chapter 35
Danny was dodging quickly occasionally sending some light punches towards the griffin’s wounded area. The steep ground out side the cave slowly flattened and was covered in rubble. Danny kept his movements steady and dodged with the slightest movements. He was focused on keeping the beast in this position and was eyeing for the spear to descend. The Griffin was in berserk mode and was attacking mindlessly. Ye Yan was actively gathering soul force and spinning the spear as the weapon spirit he could control the spear. With every rotation the spear was spinning faster and faster reaching a higher peak than what Danny calculated. Ye Yan noticed the spears ascension slowing down. Danny on the other hand started to execute his plan.
The spear reached its peak so it would drop instantly. Without caring about his wound Danny whose energy was slowly depleting suddenly surged with soul force. This caused the griffin to attack even more ferociously as danny had activated his burst ability Dragon King Fury. This increased his battle capabilities to 3 times as much and Danny could hold it for at most 1 min. Danny with his heightened senses noticed the gravity begin to increase and also saw the berserk griffin standing only on its hind legs. Danny rushed to the side and ran up the rocky wall at the same moment the griffin concentrated its spiritual force towards its front legs, slamming down directly toward the rubble filled rocky ground. Danny put soul force in his feet and jumped up the mountain wall dodging the attack force of the griffin, which broke the rocky ground in front apart causing it to fall down to the base of the mountain.
The beast used its wings and imbended them into the mountain wall preventing it from falling. Danny in his escape finally noticed the spear he used a large amount of soul force and expelled it from his feet jumping towards the spinning spear. He grabbed the spear from the middle part with his right hand and bottom end with his left. The spear was brought towards his body with his left hand to the back. Danny did all this while rotating with the spear. Then he condensed his soul armor and fully activated his Black Dragon Scale Armor increasing his weight and defense. The descent of the spear quicken and the rotation also peaked. Danny then gathered all the remaining soul force from his 6 dantans and his EGL and focused the energy on the spear head making the energy form a super condensed lining on the spearhead spinning in the opposite direction. He also prepared to activate the eruption rune on the tip of the spear for the final kill.
The griffin who was still a bit shaken from its frenzied attack didn’t notice the danger that was approaching it. By the time it came to it began to look for Danny but didn’t find him. It then directed its head towards a sonic wind sound and saw Danny and his spear rocketing towards it. As it was about to move out of the way it suddenly for an instant froze and this instant prevented it from dodging the incoming deadly strike. Danny felt dizzy from activating the Soul Eye on the griffin. His stomach was rumbling as he used all his innate abilities which made him use up all stored energy in his body. He kept the eye active to keep himself from fainting. The spear instantly hit its target which was the area Danny damaged earlier in the beast.
Once the spear meat the wound on the right side of the neck the highly compact soul force layer began to drill through the tough rocky exterior of the griffin and sink the spear into the beast. At the same time the soul energy dissipated the spear drilled through the muscle sinking half way into the beast and Ye Yan directly activated the eruption rune which caused an explosion inside the beast. The griffin that was feeling severely wounded now instantly died from the impact and its insides were mushed up. If it wasn’t for its tough exterior, the beast wouldn’t have had an intact corpse. After killing the beast Danny didn’t relax as he knew he would follow it to the grave if he didn’t replenish himself.
Danny began to devour its mushed up meat from the giant hole he gave it. Danny didn’t care and began to circulate his DDD Body Evolution skill eating everything he was able to bite off. It’s blood, muscles, organs, eyes and brains Danny didn’t leave anything. After some time Danny finished his meal and sat cross legged began using his breathing skill simultaneously with his Supreme Soul Origin Divine Body technique. Danny’s Body began its evolution as a large amount or energy was obtained from the griffin and the legend rank energy was spread through to every cell in his body. Thanks to the fact that his body was already was already super sturdy due to the transformation in the ruins. His body merely went through an ascension to the legend rank without any pain. The fight with the griffin ended at sun set and it took Danny all night to finish the transformation. All his cells absorbed the beastial energy and converted it to his own. Then the energy was purified and compressed and formed a evolved form of the energy Danny absorbed from the griffin. Danny stood up after the changes and he saw the wound on his right ċhėst partially healed. He still felt severely hungry so he ran back to the camping sight and told his four leaders who were almost at the peak of the silver rank to bring all the beast they hunted to him.
Danny began a grand feast and as he was eating the wound on his body and his energy were slowly recovering. His group of fighters were surprised to see the champion of Glory city injured like that. What surprised them even more was that their boss was healing just by eating. This made the group respect for the boss reach new heights. Almost everyone were slowly becoming devote loyal followers. Danny finally healed and went to sleep. Before he reached his tent he Old everyone to go tomorrow to the training field.
Early in the morning the next day the entire 3001 private army of Danny were gathered in the training field waiting for Danny. Danny woke up and began to examine his body. He felt he was vastly stronger than before the amount of energy stored in his body was ten times stronger than before. His soul armor was also 10 times as thick as before.
Although his soul didn’t experience any change, Danny felt more refreshed. He also felt as if he physical power was reaching a peak and this led to him thinking about his hypothesis. The peak of physical training without the use of his dantan is the legend rank. The Earth realm and beyond focus more on the soul and understanding of the laws. Although the Sky Origin Divine Clan can continue physical cultivation Danny was not a pure blood and also had several dantans which meant that his evolutionary pathway should be through the soul. After he stopped dwelling on the matter Danny got dressed and went to training ground.
When he reached the training ground he saw every single soldiers standing under the blazing heat of the sun waiting for him without any complaints. The sight made Danny smile his future will be alongside these brothers.
“Brothers and sister Scarlet you have been doing well but to be honest it’s not good enough. So I will give everyone of you a chance within one month to reach the gold rank. The person with the highest rank will get a legend rank beast soul. The second mission I will ȧssign you and me is to conquer the mountain which we will name Glory mountain. This will also be the place I will build the Glory stronghold. I will tell you guys about that later.” Danny spoke loudly gathered their attention and spoke his peace. The crowd was excited with the reward as nothing is more rewarding than a legend rank beast soul.
“Do remember this is a big test for you guys and myself. Now start training I wanna conquer the mountain quickly.”
The crowd yelled, “Conquer the Mountain!!!!”
***************
“Ay come on I’m sorry but I have improved by leaps and bounds. It’s true I almost died but this is the best way to augment my potential.”
“Yea Ay you should know that if it was anyone else they would have died from their own spear strike. Danny here is amazing as his body was able to withstand the impact. Also he experienced the line between life and death. He wasn’t even crippled after that now his fighting power took a huge leap. All Danny need to do is gather the remains of that griffin and use them to upgrade the spear. He will have a rare legend rank soul weapon.”
“I know you fools but he could have died, Danny you need to be careful. That was only an early legend rank lvl beast on a height of 60% of mountain. what about when you go higher?”
“Ay my love don’t worry in this month of training I’m going to consolidate my rank. So don’t worry love.”
” Looking at you two bicker makes you look like a beautiful couple. I remember back in the ….. owe!! What Was that for?!!”
” We were having a moment and you ruined it you old fart.” Danny yelled.
“I just felt like hitting you but I like Danny’s reason more.”
“You witch!!” Both Danny and Ye Yan subconsciously said.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!”
“Dam it! Just hit us it!”
