Chapter 532 - Against The Epic - Part 6

Before the three old men could reach the spot where the thunder swords floated around, the thunder sword fell. The explosion could be seen from a distance as they felt the shock wave of the explosion. The ground shook as well, forcing the three old men to halt their steps.

The three looked at each other, "Thunder Elemental Power?" Roan blurted out with a confused tone. This was the first time that someone controlled the thunder, there was no such person in the history of the Ortis Continent and even until now, no one could control the thunder even to cause a phenomenon like this. Summoning the dark clouds and rain. Yes, rain poured down as the thunder sword struck down. This was more like someone controlling the weather, not an Elemental Power.

??

The three old men did not dare to rush over. They waited until all thirty-five thunder swords to strike down that they dared to move. They were not far from the explosion and soon they arrived at the location.

The five thousand knights that camped in this location were scattered around as the area was blasted. The burn mark on the ground was a clear mark that the thunder sword struck this place.

"What happened?" Roan muttered, but then Tristan pulled his two friends behind the tree, "Don't show up! We are here not to get involved with the fight. Maybe Biaska Town is never their target," The three old men hid behind the tree while observing knights from the flank.

Some of the knights were on the ground, groaning in pain as their armor charred black. Some of the knights did not even move, they were unlucky and died from the thunder sword, and most of them were still standing despite the injuries they suffered.

"Just what they fight against?" Roan muttered in a low voice until they heard a shout from the frontline, "Don't let the woman cast the skill again! Charge!"

A few minutes back

All the thirty-five thunder swords struck down the shield and Zowen managed to break the initial shield they cast. However, after the last ice shield crumbled, another ice shield formed, sturdier and stronger. But the last shield still broke down on the thirty-third thunder sword. The ice shield fell apart and the last two thunder swords struck the formation.

During this process, Tang Shaoyang witnessed that Duran Ambrose and Derekh Malone activated their bloodline transformation. From Prince Kaiden's information, he could know that by reaching Epic, one could choose to awaken their bloodline, or get the second class, or even get the second talent. Duran Ambrose and Derekh Malone chose to awaken their bloodline for their reward.

The two had become similar to beastmen. Derekh Malone grew up the green-feathered wing on his back as his head turned into the head of a green-feathered bird. The yellow beak, the green eyes, and the crown-like thorn on his head. He retained his two hands but his feet turned into the bird's feet, turning into talons.

As for Duran Ambrose, snowy-white fur grew on his skin as his face changed into the wolf's face with cyan eyes. Standing with his two feet, Duran was more like a werewolf but had a white smooth fur. The two retained their hands so they still could hold their weapons.

Duran raised his sword toward Zowen, "Don't let the woman cast the skill again! Charge!" Duran and Ambrose led the charge and the knights who could stand followed them.

Derekh Malone used his wings to fly toward Zowen who was still in the air. However, before Derekh could reach Zowen, a huge shadow came down and hit Derekh Malone. He was focused on taking down the woman and did not realize that Aerelion came from above.

Boom!

Derekh's figure crashed toward the ground from the impact. The Dark Wyvern did not stop there as he spewed the black fire into the spot where Derekh crashed down. Before the black fire could reach the spot, there was a wind that swirled around. The wind reflected the fire and spread the black fire toward all directions. At the same time, Derekh Malone's figure came out from the pit. He looked fine from the crash.

"You have some tricks up your sleeve, huh!?" Aerelion said in a mocking town. Derekh Malone was about to charge at the giant creature, but then he heard Aerelion speak again, "But I am not your opponent, my Master is!"

Derekh Malone looked to the side and found Tang Shaoyang was already next to him with the battle-ax. He raised his spear to block the battle-ax immediately.

Dang!

The battle-ax hit the spear shaft and pushed Derekh Malone backward. The guy could not believe that he could not rival the man's strength even in the transformation. This was unbelievable.

"But your opponent is not him, but me," Duran's voice rang from behind Tang Shaoyang. His sword was stabbed toward his back. A few centimeters away to pierce Tang Shaoyang, but Tang Shaoayang's figure split into seven figures and rushed in seven different directions. He activated [Mirage Stride] and confused Duran Ambrose.

Amidst the confusion, Duran Ambrose shouted to Derekh, "I will take care of this kid. You go for the woman. Don't let her cast the same skill or else it would be a disaster to our force!"

Derekh nodded and was about to chase after Zowen, but Tang Shaoyang was already in front of him. The man was floating, yes, the man was not flying but floating right in front of him. Tang Shaoyang grinned at the shocked Derekh as he raised the battle-ax, activating his skill, [Thousand Blast].

"Let's see how you cope with this one!" That was what Tang Shaoyang said as he swung the battle-ax downward toward Derekh.

"Your opponent is me!" At the last moment, Duran Ambrose appeared in front of Derekh Malone. He raised his shield to defend the [Thousand Blast]. So far, no one could leave unscathed after receiving the skill and it would tell how strong the Epic Rank was by this exchange.

Boom!

The blast sent them down as the ground split from the impact. The dust rose, covering the scenery. However, Tang Shaoyang could see perfectly that Duran Ambrose and Derekh Malone were fine. The two were standing still after receiving the skill, "Epic Rank surely different," Tang Shaoyang licked his lips as excitement bubbled inside him.
