Armipotent

1073  Skelly Family In Action - Part 11

The Ancient Rank was about to dash forward at Tang Shaoyang, but a black beam shot through the air. The man jumped backward further from Tang Shaoyang. He then glanced down to the ground, where a deep hole the size of his arm was made. The hole was deep as if the ground was melted by the black beam.

"Who?" The Ancient Rank turned around, observing his surroundings once more. He was pretty sure that no one was around here. His mana swept three hundred meters of area, but it did not detect any mana from the others.

Little did he know that Keeper positioned itself four thousand meters away from the location. The skeleton turned its hand into the longest gun range in its armory and sniped the Ancient Rank from a distance far more than he expected.

The group of four was about to gang up on Tang Shaoyang, but they created a distance from Tang Shaoyang, cautious of their surroundings after the earlier shot. They regrouped, showing the sign of wariness against the person that shot the black beam. The shot looked strong enough to leave a hole in their body. While they regrouped, they noticed more presence around their one enemy.

"It's undead! He is a Necromancer!" The Ancient Rank yelled, warning his friends about their enemy.

The eight skeletons told them that the man was a Necromancer. Summoning Undead was the basic skill of Necromancer, the general knowledge about Necromancer.

"It's just skeletons—" The Epic Rank guy's voice cut off as the Ancient Rank smacked the Epic Rank's back.

"Stupid! It's not just skeletons! They are strong skeletons." The Ancient Rank man could tell that with a single glance. The glowing orbs on the skeletons' sockets, the structure of the skeletons, and also the aura the skeletons released were enough for the Ancient to tell that the skeleton was not just a normal skeleton. He then tried to use Identification on the skeletons, but it did not work.

[??? — ??? Summon] [??? — ??? Summon] [??? — ??? Summon] [??? — ??? Summon]

After the fourth time using Identification, he gave up on identifying each skeleton. "Get ready to fight, and don't underestimate the skeletons."

"It's your show time. Kill them!" Tang Shaoyang did not hide his intention to kill the four after listening to their conversation. Since the opposite party planned to kill him, so might as well do it openly.

The group of four that surrounded Tang Shaoyang earlier was now surrounded by skeletons. Added with Skelly7's familiars, it was fourteen skeletons against four.

Tang Shaoyang did not join the fight, staying where he was as he watched the skeletons move carefully. His target was the Myth Rank, and he thought of sharing the other four for his skeletons for their level. "Should I leave them? Can they win?"

The concern was that the four might destroy his skeleton since their opponent had two Ancient Ranks. He did not know what would happen to the skeletons if they were destroyed. The skeleton might disappear permanently, and he did not want that to happen. It took him time to nurture the skeleton, so he did not want them to disappear this early, especially for Kaiser, Skelly7, and Keeper. Kaiser could give him infinite materials, Orichalcum and Mithril. Keeper had a unique class, and he might not get it again for the second time, and the same for Skelly7, the Bonemancer.

However, if he did not leave, Lulu might be in danger. Lulu was the string that might connect him to the Mistovel Family, so he did not want to miss the chance to forge a friendly relationship with the powerhouse from another world. Forming a connection with another world might be handy in this tower or maybe even far in the future.

"Lulu should not be in danger since the empire wants her alive." He muttered, "If I wait here, the Myth Rank eventually comes here to kill the boss monster. That's the only way to get out of this garden, after all. However, Roman and Damian may die for this, and that will ruin my relationship with the Guild Master since I promise him to help the guild."

"It seems I have no other choices." Tang Shaoyang summoned Bronson, The Executioner. The only choice he had was to leave a spirit to oversee the skeletons while he looked for Lulu. He was not worried about Eril's safety because of Wrath with her, but it would be hard even for four Epic Ranks to win against the Myth Rank. He also could not move his spirits lest it would cause suspicion from the guild.

"Just watch the fight from the side, and if any of them are in danger, then you can save them. If the skeletons are about to lose, then you can finish them off." The demon with the reaver on its back nodded at the order.

After giving the instruction, Tang Shaoyang left. He followed his own trail and traced back to the first spot before they separated. "Lulu went this way…." It was a race against time since Lulu might be in danger. He maintained the Spirit Eyes as he went toward the Lulu group's direction.

He could not see the trail of Lulu's group; not like he could smell their scent too. "This is hard." Tang Shaoyang checked his spirit list, trying to find the flying spirits but not too suspicious of the others who discovered his spirit. He found two spirits that fit his criteria, and he summoned them immediately.

Exon, the Giant Hawk, and Jet, the Abyss Raven. These two would appear more like his summon than a spirit, so he could avoid further suspicion from the others. The two spirits were aware of their jobs, and they immediately split up in opposite directions. Despite the help of his two flying spirits, he still could not find Lulu after half an hour of searching.

"This is wasting my time. Just how big is this garden? No, is this even a garden in the first place?" He was frustrated at failing to find Lulu. He considered returning to the boss monster's location and just waited for the Myth Rank there. "How's the situation there, Bronson?"

"The skeletons have the tenacity, Master. It's a fierce fight, and I can see the skeleton will win the presence from the Myth Rank.

Damian and Roman had activated their Bloodline Transformation, and even so, they still struggled to fight. Keeper kept the situation in check if any of the skeletons was in danger, and I hadn't made my move yet so far. It's quite interesting to watch them fight." The Executioner gave the update on the fight near the boss monster's area.

'Should I really go back and wait there?' Tang Shaoyang was about to give up when he heard a voice from the unexpected spirit.

[Master! It's Yu. Your friends seem in trouble; should I help them?]

Tang Shaoyang activated [Link] the moment he heard the voice and got to see Yu's vision. He saw it; Lulu, Damian, and Roman struggled against the Myth Rank as the latter toyed with three. However, he did not see Greed there. Confirming with his own eyes, Tang Shaoyang switched places with Yu.

The Ancient Alchemist complained about the sudden switch, but Tang Shaoyang ignored him. He was five hundred meters away from the battle. Yu watched the battle from the tree, veiling his presence from the Myth Rank.

Damian and Roman had activated their Bloodline Transformation, and even so, they still struggled to keep up with the Myth Rank, which did not use any transformation. Two different ranks seemed too much for them. As he thought of joining the fight, he suddenly noticed the ground where the battle took place turned dark.

The Myth Rank noticed the dark shadow a little bit too late as he enjoyed himself bullying his opponent. The moment he realized the shadow, the shadow opened its maw. The shadow was about to swallow the Myth Rank in one bite, but he reacted faster. He managed to jump, but he paid the price as the shadow bit his feet.

"ARGHHHHH!" The Myth Rank guy screamed in pain as blood poured down from the missing part. He stabilized himself in midair, and by the time he tried to find out what the shadow was, the shadow had already disappeared. The first thing he did was to look at Lulu, thinking it was one of Lulu's spells.

"I have been nice for leaving you alone, but you pay for my kindness with a sneak attack!?" The Myth Rank was furious. "The Prince only asked me to bring you alive. I will make you beg me to—" Before the man finished his words, a big shadow loomed over him. That shocked him, thinking it was the same spell that had eaten his feet. He subconsciously turned around, only to be shocked by what he saw.

A giant Golden Dragon was right above him, looking down at him with its arrogant gaze. The sight of the dragon stunned as a dragon was the last thing he would expect to appear.

Wrath opened his mouth and breathed out the golden fire. Once more, The Myth Rank guy failed to react in time. He could no longer dodge the incoming fire, and the only choice he had was to block the dragon fire. He created a barrier in time as the fire engulfed him.
