Armipotent-Novel



Valky had disappeared as the dragon broke the ceiling, but Rosalie did not move from her spot because she knew Valky was still inside this hall. The assassin-type enemy had the advantage against Elementalist like Rosalie in one on one. However, Rosalie did not falter or show fear against Valky. Not that she underestimated her opponent, but because she was confident she could kill the demoness.

The Flame Empress slowly walked away from Tang Shaoyang, giving him space to fight against the Demon Commander. She stood near the entrance, watching Tang Shaoyang's back while remaining on alert. There was nothing she could do to make Valky out unless she lured the demoness out. That was what she was doing right now, giving an opening for Valky. She pretended not to notice Valky in this room, and it worked.

Boom!

Rosalie heard the crashing noise from behind. She turned around with a grin as she managed to catch the little rat. She set up the Gravity Barrier to the maximum force around her. The Gravity Barrier caught Valky off guard with how the demoness crashed into the ground on her chest.

The Flame Empress wasted no time as the golden flame pillar burst out from the ground, engulfing the demoness in the fire.

"ARGHHHHHHH!" Valky's scream echoed through the hall. A few seconds later, the scream stopped abruptly as Valky's figure melted like a candle.

Rosalie furrowed her brow, realizing Valky was not dead. There was no notification about leveling. Killing Valky who was in the same rank should give her around fifteen levels to forty levels. But there was no notification, meaning Valky managed to escape.

"Tch, what a waste to let her escape. She will not come again for me. I missed my chance," While she had a solution to neutralize Valky's assault, she did not have the suitable skill to chase after the assassin. She let the demoness escape.

Back a few minutes

Demon Commander Gustav did not expect the players would be this crazy to fight him in this main fortress and decided to fight him instead. It was a lie if he was not nervous upon seeing the dragon that destroyed the ceiling. If the player could tame a dragon, meaning the player was too strong. Regret remained as a regret, and he needed to get out of this situation first.

'Can I win against him?'

"Help me to stall him, Valky," He was about to ask Valky to help him, but the latter had disappeared and did not know where to.

"Do you need time to get your weapon and armor? I don't mind waiting for you," Tang Shaoyang wanted to beat Gustav when the demon commander was at his full strength. That was the way to deliver the most painful despair.

"You will regret this," The Demon Commander took out his armor, putting it on his body as he held a spear in his hand.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang also put his stance, something he learned from the Nine Heavenly Gates. He put both hands forward with his right hand slightly higher than his left. The instruction was to put his dominant hand higher, and in his case, his right hand was the dominant side. The Heavenly Energy wrapped around his hand.

The Demon Commander did not waste his chance upon seeing Tang Shaoyang not use a weapon. He felt like he had the upper hand with the spear. His figure blurred as he thrust his spear into Tang Shaoyang's chest. The spear was enveloped with dark energy, spiraling around the spear. It was fast, but not fast enough to trick Tang Shaoyang's eyes. As the spear reached his range, he slapped the spear with the back of his hand.

Not only did he deflect the trajectory of the spear, but the Heavenly Energy caused Gustav's dark energy to disperse. He almost lost his balance but he managed to recover and leaped back. The frown on his forehead went deeper as he was confused about what happened with his attack.

Commander Gustav was pretty sure that the smack had no power with how slow the human moved his hand. However, that was enough to throw him off balance. The bizarre thing was that his accumulated dark energy in the spear dispersed.

"ARGHHHHHHH!"

The scream snapped out of his thought and looked toward the source. He saw Valky was burned alive by the red-haired woman. That shocked him even more, confused how Valky could get caught. The Shadow Squad Leader was the second strongest individual in this fortress, yet she was caught by a mage at that.I think you should take a look at

"Tch, what an amateur. You should never look away from your opponent."

Hearing the voice, Commander Gustav turned the voice. Tang Shaoyang was right in front of him along with a golden palm projection.  Tang Shaoyang's palm hit Gustav's chest plate. The plate armor dented inwardly, leaving a palm mark as Commander Gustav was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall as the rubbles fell on him.

"Don't tell me he died from that one palm. I have controlled my Heavenly Energy to make sure he did not die," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow. That would have foiled his plan if he accidentally killed Gustav. Fortunately, his concern did not come true as a figure came out of the rubble.

Gustav was still alive, and he used his transformation skill. The white fur along with the pattern on the fur and also his face, his bloodline was related to the white tiger. His body became bigger, twice as big as before.

"What a coincidence," Tang Shaoyang smiled, "I don't have a suitable sword, so I will skip the fifth gate. Let's try the sixth Heavenly Gate."

Sixth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly White Tiger. It was a technique where he borrowed the power of the Heavenly Beast, White Tiger. The image of White Tiger faintly formed behind him, readying himself to fight and receive the incoming attack.

Commander Gustav's figure suddenly split into six. The six Gustav made six different movements, attacking him from six different angles.

"That trick will not work on me," Tang Shaoyang turned round, opening his back to the six figures. That was because he knew all the six figures were an illusion, fake. The real one was right behind him. He used the Heavenly White Tiger's first technique, Heavenly Roar.

Tang Shaoyang sent his fist forward to meet with the tip of the spear. As soon as his fist touched the tip of the spear, the tiger's roar resounded in the hall. Along with the deafening roar, Commander Gustav's body was sent flying backward once more. His body crashed onto the wall, but it did stop there as his body flew out of the mansion from that single punch.

"It seems the sixth gate is quite overwhelming," He was not expected to send the man flying even though he minimized the output as he did not want to kill the Demon Commander. On top of that, Gustav was in his transformation skill, yet, Heavenly White Tiger still overwhelmed the demon commander.

"This is quite overpowering, huh? I wonder which one is stronger between Slayer Energy and Heavenly White Tiger?" He could not help but compare both with how strong the technique was. Of course, Slayer Energy had superiority like how it could prevent the enemy from healing, even the God Rank had to be wary against Slayer Energy. He did not want to use it quite often as It might cause him trouble.

Tang Shaoyang walked out of the hole that was made by Commander Gustav's body. Rosalie walked next to him and said, "This is quite disappointing. They are quite weak despite being a high rank. I easily catch Valky, and you beat the commander with two attacks."

That was true. The natives were quite weak even though they were high-rank. Normally, Primordial Rank would last dozens of moves against him, yet the demon commander was so easy to beat.

The two followed the trail left behind by Commander Gustav, and they quickly found the demon commander, lying on the ground on his back. His spear was thrown quite far from him, and his breathing was quite rough as he kept staring at the sky.

The scream and roar filled the fortress as chaos ensued. Wrath, Greed, and Lu An created the whole mess in the fortress, slaughtering the demon soldiers in their sight.

It was a lie if Commander Gustav did not regret his decision to oppose the players. He just did not expect the players would be this strong, so strong that made him helpless.

"Not yet, not yet. You can't die yet," Tang Shaoyang came over, holding the demon commander's cheek with his left hand, forcing the demon to open his mouth. Then he used his right hand to pour the healing potion into Gustav's mouth forcefully, "You can't die yet, Gustav. You need to see the demon kingdom's future."

Before the healing potion could work, Tang Shaoyang cut Gustav's four limbs. The demon screamed in pain, but the wound was closing as the potion started to take effect. Soon the bleeding stopped as Gustav huffed roughly. His eyes were full of hatred, gazing at Tang Shaoyang. If his gaze could kill, Tang Shaoyang might die a few times already.

"Hah…" Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, "If you don't try to do anything weird, this will never happen. Why do you people keep doing something stupid like this? Human and demon are the same,"

Gustav's wound closed up after his rant. Tang Shaoyang picked up the limbless guy by the neck like he carried a cat. Then he brought Gustav up to the sky, letting the demon witness what happened in this fortress. The place known for its defense was getting torn apart.This chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.net
