Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. "I don't know what makes you so confident killing me?" He grinned ear to ear. "But you come at the right time because I want to test my new weapon too." He took out Mzed from the inventory, the new battle-ax. "I will take on the Primordial Rank, and you guys can have the rest."

Tang Shaoyang directed his right hand toward Zowen and activated [Spirit Fusion]. He chose Crystal, the Frost Knight, to integrate with Zowen. Then he did the same to Rosalie, and he chose Lilliana, the Grand Guardian, to integrate with Rosalie. Since it was an integration with the human spirit, there was no change in their appearance.

As soon as the [Spirit Fusion] was done, a black beam shot through the air, aiming toward one of the Myth Rank knights. It was just too fast that even Faran, the Primordial Rank, failed to react to the attack. Added with the time, the beam came from an unexpected angle, from the side. The black beam shot through the knight's head and pierced another knight next to him.

Two knights died within a second, one with a hole in the head and one with a hole in the body, hitting the knight's heart. It was just too fast and unexpected that the knight could not react to the ambush.

Faran snapped out of his daze and looked up. "Watch out! Above!" The black skeleton with wings and a tail landed between the group.

Kaiser turned his hand into the blade and swirled. Two heads flew into the air as blood spurted out from the still-moving body. In the following moment, another two Myth Rank knights died in the ambush. The remaining eleven knights, including Faran leaped backward from the weird skeleton.

"What was that?" Faran frowned as he looked at the skeleton. It was not the same as the information he received from the guild. The guild did not include the skeleton with wings and tail. As they focused on the one weird skeleton, Faran then heard screams from his other subordinates.

He looked toward the scream and saw his two subordinates were killed in a different spot. One was smashed by the hammer, and one was sliced into two. Those two skeletons were on the list of information, but he did not know that the skeleton would be this strong to be able to sneak attack his subordinates. 'No, this is a calculated ambush. They drew our attention to the weird skeleton, and the other skeletons ambushed us.'

In less than five minutes, Faran had already lost his six subordinates to the skeleton. He realized that they might have fallen into Ying's trap. "Use your bloodline right away!" He instructed everyone to use the Bloodline Transformation.

That was the right move, going all out from the start because they lost four people already. But Faran made an error about the timing. They needed a certain amount of time to complete the Bloodline Transformation, but they were scattered and not in a situation where they could help each other. In the middle of the transformation, two knights were burned in a fire while the Keeper claimed another knight's head.

Meanwhile, Kaiser flapped his wing once, and he arrived in front of one of the knights. His right hand turned into a dragon claw and caught the knight's neck, ripping apart the next with a single swing. Zowen and Rosalie realized that the skeletons might not leave them some prey to fight against.

Rosalie created two flame pillars right below two knights who were in the middle of the Bloodline Transformation, burning them to death. Zowen created two giant lightning swords in the sky. As soon as the two remaining knights finished their transformation, they were greeted with a big lighting spell.

Zowen and Rosalie wanted to fight the knights head-on, but they realized that the skeletons might kill all the knights before they finished their transformation. In less than five minutes, fourteen Myth Rank knights were killed.

Faran finished the transformation, and he was greeted with his subordinates' dead bodies. He realized the mistakes, but there was nothing he could do. But then he realized that all the attacks were directed at his subordinates, and none of the skeletons tried to kill him. He was the strongest among the remaining knights, yet none of them tried to kill him. Then he remembered what Ying had said before. "I will take the Primordial Rank."

He was the only Primordial Rank, which meant the skeleton left them alone because Ying wanted to fight him. The reason he told them to use the transformation was that he thought the skeletons would aim for his life. He had a measure for that as he cast a defensive skill on himself, but the enemy did not go for him.

"You coward!" Faran's deep voice rang in the air. He became three meters tall, and with the flaming mane on his neck, his bloodline should be the Flaming Lion.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that Faran's bloodline was the Flaming Lion. The guy was the third person with the same bloodline. He shrugged when his opponent called him a coward. "There's no coward in a battle, the winner and the loser. Kill or get killed!"

Tang Shaoyang activated his second talent's skill, [Wrath], boosting his attributes. Then he followed up with [Attribute Shift], Splitting the Magic Power into Agility and Strength. Following those two skills, he activated [Blink]. He appeared in front of Faran and did the first swing with his new weapon.

Faran was caught off guard, but he reacted quickly by raising his shield. He imbued the shield with his mana to strengthen his defense.

Bang!

Faran could feel the heaviness behind the swing as he skidded through the ground for three meters. It was strong, but it was something he could handle. He followed it with a counterattack. The shield blazed in flame as he charged toward Tang Shaoyang with supersonic speed. However, he saw that the man was grinning madly instead of avoiding his flaming shield. He could tell that Ying had time to dodge the shield, and he had prepared the following move if Ying dodged him. However, he did not expect the opposite party to decide to clash with him directly.

Tang Shaoyang held the battle-ax like he was holding a baseball stick. The twin blade of his battle-ax also blazed in black fire, and he swung with all his might toward the shield.

Boom!

The crimson fire clashed with the black fire, engulfing the two figures as the fire spread out.
