Chapter 318 - The Fifth Spirit
Zaneos\'s figure blurred into a dark streak toward the Scorched Ant\'s swarm. As soon as he arrived in front of the swarm, the demon pulled out his sword from the sheath.
It was a matter of a few seconds before Zaneos sheathed the sword back. The Scorched Ants in his range suddenly stopped moving before they fell into pieces. Zaneos killed dozens of the Scorched Ants in front of him into pieces in one pull of his sword.
Zowen stopped her attack to see how strong Zaneos was. She stared at the demon in the distance. There was an invisible frown on her forehead.
Li Na was the same, she was shocked how fast the swordsman killed those many Scorched Ants in one attack. She could not see anything aside from pulling the sword out and sheathing the sword back.
While they would not be able to see what happened, Tang Shaoyang saw everything clearly. It was all thanks to his [Dragon Eyes]. He saw that when Zaneos drew the sword, countless blades followed out, decapitating the Scorched Ants within the range.
Tang Shaoyang tried to comprehend what actually happened, \'Is it the sword? No way, the sword is created by my skill, not a treasure. It must be his skill.\'
He tried to watch Zaneos\'s skill longer, but soon he gave up. Even though he could see everything, he could not learn the skill by watching him. But there was another thought in his head, \'What if I am his opponent? What should I do to defend against that?\'
\'[Flame Shield] may be useful against his attack, but it could block all blades. Even with [Mana Shroud] combined, the blades will easily break my defensive skill,\' Tang Shaoyang could not think of a way to block the attack. The only way was to dodge the attack instead of facing it head-on.
\'Maybe my [Dragon Scales] is enough to block the blades,\' this was the last effort he might do if he could not dodge the blades, \'But how am I supposed to win against Zaneos?\', looking at how easy the Demon Swordsman was to execute the skill, it should not be his strongest skill.
Tang Shaoyang was sitting on his original spot, thinking, stimulating the fight against Zaneos, and estimating his chance against Zaneos. The only way he could think was to overwhelm the Demon Swordsman with his attribute by using [Dragon Transformation] and integration with Rumru if it was possible.
Four hours passed by, the Scorched Ants were still coming out of the mounds, but their numbers decreased drastically. Moon and Karan were battling side by side. Tang Shaoyang could tell that the bear was exhausted after battling four hours non-stop.
Zaneos was like a slicing machine, he cut the Scorched Ants into pieces, and he gained two levels after Zaneos joined the battle. The battle could end faster if he joined too, but he wanted Li Na also to get her share. If he joined, she might not level up as he easily wiped the swarm.
Based on Zhang Mengyao\'s information, it was hard for Li Na to level faster because she had to share her gain with Moon. Both the summon and the master leveled up together so they had to kill twice the amount of monster or beast to level up. The main reason he did not join the battle.
Soon, the Scorched Ants number dwindled to zero, there were no more giant ants standing in the area. He had checked the area through [Spirit Eyes] and the area was safe.
Four hours and around twenty minutes, the group finished the huge swarm of Scorched Ant. As soon as the battle was over, Zowen was the first one to go back into spirit space, "I am off, this is so exhausting…" Lightning Magus bid her farewell, not only to him she also waved her hand toward Li Na before she disappeared.
Karan also dragged his avatar body, it was a new discovery that they could be exhausted in their avatar body, "That was a satisfying battle," that was what Orc Warrior told him before he also went back to spirit space, leaving Zaneos, Moon, Li Na, and Tang Shaoyang.
"You don\'t want to go back? You can get exhausted even if you are in an avatar body it seems," he looked toward Zaneos who stood a meter away to the right.
"I am indeed a little bit exhausted, but I can stay around longer. You need someone to guard you while executing [Spirit Summoning]," Zaneos replied with his cold voice and flat tone.
"You can have your summon back to rest, girl. Your bear should be recovering faster in your private space!" The Demon Swordsman was talking to Li Na. Moon was clearly exhausted after the long battle, he could easily tell that through the Mystical Bear\'s rough breathing.
Li Na did not know who Zaneos was, she did not listen to Zaneos but turned her head toward him. She was asking for his instruction.
"Yeah, you can have Moon go rest, the fight is over for now," Tang Shaoyang nodded. Sure enough, she listened to him as she immediately summoned Moon back.
Zaneos was not offended since that was the right to do. He was not the leader of the girl, it was right to not listen to him.
"How is it? Do you level up?" He asked the girl as he walked closer to where the Scorched Ants\' remains the most were.
"Yeah, I gained five levels while Moon got six levels," a wide smile replaced the tired expression as she replied joyfully.
\'Hah… Karan, Zowen, and Zaneos still take the most ants,\' he thought to himself. It was proved that he who was level over two hundred gained three levels while Li Na only gained five levels, \'There should be more chances in the future.\'
Tang Shaoyang used [Sky Walk] to walk upward up to thirty meters. From the top, he could see the enormous remains of the Scorched Ants were scattered around the area.
He extended his right forward while scanning the area, "Let\'s welcome our new friend!"
[Spirit Summoning]
As soon as he activated the skill, the Scorched Ant\'s carcasses glowed in crimson. The dead giant ant\'s carapaces were glowing brighter and brighter until it melted into a crimson smoke.
Soon the area was filled with crimson smoke. Through his [Dragon Eyes] the crimson smoke was rich in mana. The crimson smoke roamed the area for a while. It was until all the dead ants melted into crimson smoke that the crimson smoke stopped moving.
The crimson smoke stayed still for a few seconds. It was as if there was a big suction, the crimson smoke was sucked into a spot. The spot was five meters in front of Tang Shaoyang.
All the crimson smoke gathered into that spot and created a massive crimson sphere. Through the naked eyes, Tang Shaoyang could see something starting to take shape. It was just a meter shadow, but soon it grew up to three meters.
He tried to see what was inside through his [Dragon Eyes] and [Spirit Eyes]. But to avail, he could not see through the crimson sphere. In the next ten seconds, the crimson sphere exploded into crimson millions of magicule particles. The explosion was beautiful, similar to fireworks.
