Armipotent Chapter 2070: Let the World Knows (2)

Reyner breathed heavily, still holding his heavy broadsword with his right hand. A few thorns and two sword constructs stuck in his left hand, dangling as it was rendered useless.

The elental form had been canceled for a while during the fight. The fight that helped him to understand more about the new Executive Administrator.

He found out what the thorns and the sword construct were. The black thorn would drain his strength from the area where it pierced or was stuck into. As if the thorns were not dangerous enough, the sword construct disrupted the flow of energy inside his body. If the swords were left too long in his body, it would affect his energy core as a whole, stopping him from using any skills.

Reyner had been holding Tang Shaoyang as long as he could, using everything he had in his arsenal, hoping soone would break the black fire do.

He lost track of how long he had been fighting Tang Shaoyang. It was so intense that he could barely tell how long it had been. If he had to guess, he had been holding up for half an hour. That was what it felt like, and he hoped half an hour was enough for them to help him out, but he was wrong.

Then his eyes went back to Tang Shaoyang, who was still in his black fire elental form. He had used his strong skills, but nothing that could hurt Tang Shaoyang. The skill was not the problem; the fact was that he could not land a single hit in that half an hour.

The weirdest one was the strange weapon combination; he lost to soone with the weirdest weapon combination. Tang Shaoyang had a battle axe in his left hand and a long sword that was over two ters in his right hand.

Blood started getting into his eyes, getting his fuzzy vision redder and even blurrier. He knew he was on the last straw. If this continued, there was only one end: death.

"What took them so long..." He muttered raggedly.

That was when he noticed Tang Shaoyang drop the battle, then Tang Shaoyang’s figure disappeared from his sight. He didn’t know what happened, but then his vision turned upside down. That was when he realized that he was dead, his head was cut off, and he was flying in the air.

In his last mont, he saw his own body as blood spurted out from his body. Despite his disbelief about what happened, he accepted his death. In that last mont, the do dispersed. He finally saw what happened outside.

Right outside the do, the area was covered in thorns, not just dozens, but hundreds, if not thousands, of thorns. The brutal reality was that he saw eight bodies dangling on the thorns. Their bodies are pierced by the thorns and the sword constructs.

"It’s not that long, but you manage to entertain for two minutes..."

His acceptance turned into shock, disbelief that it had just two minutes passed since the fight started. He swore it was more than two minutes; he believed it was at least ten minutes, if not half an hour. He didn’t want to believe his struggle, which he felt for a long ti was in fact just two minutes.

Reyner, who had accepted his loss, had to die with his eyes wide open and could not believe what he heard in her last mont. He wanted to deny that, but the fact that he saw the eight bodies dangling, that might be the truth.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang shook the blood from the sword and sheathed it. That might be the first ti that his Heavenly Revoke worked against the God Rank. As for the minutes, he was telling the truth. It was a two-minute fun for him.

He got to try sothing new: the thorns. That was not torn, but part of the trees, the roots. That was the root of the white trees that grew when he activated his domain. As Reyner suspected, the root drained the strength from the target that was hit by it.

Sothing he learned from his weird domain recently during the fight against the calamity. Not just the root, he could also control the white trees. He could manipulate them as he wanted, just like the root itself. He didn’t use it because he had not found what the white tree did. It was certainly not draining, but it worked for sothing else that he could not really tell until he tried on sothing.

"You should try it on one of us, not , though," Zara ca down from the air with Avyn, bringing the remaining five bodies with them.

"One of the calamity would be glad to try it. They would be happy to spar against you," Avyn gave a good idea.

"And save your energy. Those cowards left after you killed five people from outside the do," Zara added. She was talking about the people from the Shadow Star that was still hiding in the shadows earlier.

Whoosh!

Tang Shaoyang caught the flying battle axe and put it back into his inventory as he canceled his elental form. The other spirits were still having fun, but he could see the numbers were dwindling. The army was getting wiped out slowly, and there were no enemies in sight, no reinforcents.

"But why does no one co to help them?" Gianni asked.

The forr Hurakan Legion Commander II returned with his grandson and great-grandson, bringing five God Ranks’ bodies with them. Ruben the Valiant Soldier seed to join the group as well, following the three commanders even though he was not their actual subordinate when he was alive.

"They might have a chance if they co together at us," The forr Hurakan Legion Commander IV, Nikolas, agreed with his great-grandfather about ganging them up.

Even though their enemies had an overwhelming number, those people were lower than the Demi-God Rank. A single skill, hundreds, if not thousands, would die. The worst part was their Lord. He could repeat what he did earlier and wipe out their enemy.

Nikolas found out that his Lord was scarier than he thought in a war like this, even scarier than a duel.

"I know what happens," Mathias, the forr Hurakan Legion Commander IV, had a guess, "It might be the infighting within the organization. They are fighting over who will be the leader of the Shadow Start after you killed their leader, My Lord."

"The one who makes the first move would lose that battle because they would lose more people than those who are waiting for the right ti," Mathias smiled, turning toward Tang Shaoyang, "Or maybe your plan truly caught them off guard that they could not react in ti, or maybe because your move disrupted their plan. But I am still leaning towards my first guess.
