Chapter 1372 Annoying Doggy

?1372 Annoying Doggy

'Catch and end the fight immediately.'

Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes and activated [Battle Sense]. He opened his eyes and turned around. The attack from behind was predictable. That was what creatures or people with Shadow Elemental always did, attacking him from the back through Shadow Movement. The source of this ᴄontent ɪs Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

As he turned around, a shadow loomed over him. It was a shadow in the same shape as The Shadow Hound. It was not the real body of the Shadow Hound. Of course, it did not mean it was a bluff. This Shadow Hound's shadow could hurt him because The Battle Sense alarmed him the danger, meaning the attack possessed danger to him.

His hand reached the shadow's neck, and the shadow immediately dispersed with his Energy Destruction Touch. Back when he got the class, Way of Destruction. He did not really think that much about this skill with everything he had already. But now he was really glad that he had chosen the class. Destroying the energy was powerful as it canceled the skill that came at him. Almost all skills were affected by Energy Destruction Touch too.

Tang Shaoyang sensed another danger from behind him as Battle Sense was triggered. Learning from the first mistake when he mistook the shadow as the real Shadow Hound. He used Spirit Eyes and saw that the one that came from behind was another shadow of Shadow Hound.

Three Slayer Blades formed above the shadow. The three blades pierced through the shadow and destroyed the shadow. The Shadow Hound did not stop there as it kept sending more shadows. The next attack was two shadows, coming from behind him again.

Rumru said that Shadow Hound was one of the nastiest opponents he had to fight in The Orin Forest. He felt like rather than nasty, it was more annoying. The Shadow Hound was quite smart not to reveal its real body, which was annoying. It was quite smart for a beast with no name.

More Slayer Blades formed and destroyed the shadow. He did it without looking back, 'Is he trying to figure me out?' The Shadow Hound was smarter than he thought than the other beasts that would pounce at him the moment they had a chance to, 'Let's make an opening for it then.'

The next attack was three shadows. Three Shadow Hounds jumped out of the shadow, leaping toward him from three blind directions. He formed four Slayer Blades, two blades went for one shadow which left one shadow right behind him.

He purposely reacted late to the third shadow. It looked like the third shadow almost got him, but his fist was faster. His fist went through the shadow's head, dispersing the shadow.

'This is so annoying. I need to think of a way to fight people with Shadow Elemental. At least, I need to figure out how to force them out of the shadows.' That was what he thought as he faced four more shadows this time.

The Shadow Hound never revealed his real body, remaining cautious as it kept sending a bunch of shadows. Again, he purposely made it so that the fourth shadow almost got him this time. Each reaction was much later than the previous. It looked like he was troubled facing more shadows while in fact, he could use The Slayer Blade to get rid of them all.

It kept doing the same thing until it used eight shadows, and this time, Tang Shaoyang let the eighth shadow hit him. But The attack was nullified with Chaos Shade. The success was quickly followed by the next wave of attack. This time, Shadow Hound used ten shadows instead of eight, but one of them was real.

It gained confidence after it managed to land a blow on Tang Shaoyang with eight shadows. This time ten came out of shadow, and one of them was an actual Shadow Hound. Twenty Slayer Blades formed, and each two blades formed above the shadow.

He always formed four Slayer Blades before, making The Shadow Hound think he could only use four blades maximum. The two blades delivered the final judgment for the Shadow Hound. The nine shadows dispersed into nothing while the actual Shadow Hound was pinned down to the ground by two Slayer Blades.

The rule battle of contract, an absolute rule of the System that they could not kill each other despite how fatal the attack was. However, even though they could not die, they still felt the pain from each strike they received.

The Shadow Hound howled in pain, but Tang Shaoyang did not show mercy as he stomped on the Shadow Hound's snout, closing the mouth before its loud howl caused any more commotion. The Slayer Blade had a similar effect to The Destruction Touch, disrupting the energy. The Shadow Hound immediately realized that the blade prevented him from escaping.

"You should choose the easy, so you don't need to feel this kind of pain," Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "And your effort is wasted because soon you will find out that I am not lying to you. You will meet him soon as a spirit, and you can ask him who killed."

He extended his hand toward the Shadow Hound's glowing forehead. The light shot toward his hand as the contract was established.

[You have formed a contract with Grade SS Spirit, Shadow Hound!]

Tang Shaoyang waited a while, waiting for The Shadow Hound's reaction. Strangely, he could not hear anything that happened in his Spirit World. He could not take a peek at what happened inside.

"Have you greeted the dog, Rumru?"

To his surprise, he heard a chuckle from the Black Dragon. [Yup, and it seems he's not just a dog filled with vengeance but also with fear. It hides in his dog house as soon as it sees me, funny right?]

It was unexpected that The Shadow Hound would hide in fear from Rumru. That made him wonder what Rumru did to the little guy before it died to invoke such a fear to the beast.

[You should summon me in the first place rather than entertaining the dog in a fight.] Rumru added.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes, "And what? Caused panic and chaos inside the city that a giant dragon suddenly appeared in the middle of the city? It's not like I can bring that dog out of the city because I summoned him here. It can't move too far away from where it was summoned, or else I will bring it out and summon you to prove that you have died."

He yawned and shook his head, "Does not really matter anymore since we have tamed the little guy."

Tang Shaoyang switched places with Karan, stationing Karan in Harkon City. The sixth city he had conquered today. Twelve hours passed since he came back to Aqura, but it was just one hour and twenty minutes on Earth's time. It was still three-

twenty in the morning in his place.

He yawned again as he glanced toward the door where Vandir did his research. The door remained closed, and the dwarf who guarded the gate was sleeping next to the gate. There were a bunch of scrolls next to his short friend. He could not really understand those symbolic texts and diagrams.

"Maybe I should sleep in Aqura instead?"

Tang Shaoyang muttered as he made his way to the exit. It was more efficient to sleep there instead of returning to Earth. He thought the time flow difference was an advantage to him, but it just messed up his schedule right now. Especially with how fast he conquered the sixth city already.

With how advanced Aqura was in the Game, he thought it would take him longer to take over six cities. However, there was no one who could really be an opponent to him.

He returned to his room, and everyone was sleeping. The first room he checked was where Ava and his daughter slept. Xiulan was sleeping next to her mother, and her mother also fell asleep. Elin were staying in the same room, and both also fell asleep. Jiaying and Li Yue were asleep in the next room with Li Na's grandma.

"What do I do now?" The reason he returned here was to inform Elin that she could visit her home. Even though he had not asked Frost about the village and the villagers where Elin and Delia came from, 'But they are probably fine, right?'

The thing he remembered about the village was, it was a weird village. But he did not remember why it was weird in the first place. Even though it was just one year, he felt like it had been many years already. He had gone through many things so it felt like many years had passed.

Instead of going to the empty, he stayed on the couch, sitting and closing his eyes. He was thinking of a plan: what if Goddess Rubia did not come for him after he destroyed her six temples. He did not want to look for her, he wanted her to come for him instead.

'Tisha said we almost reached The Orin Kingdom's Capital. There's only one city separating The Capital and Harkon City. Maybe she will come for me if I take back The Capital as well? Let's do that if she does not come for me in three days.'
