Armipotent

Chapter 552 - The Trial Of The Epic - Part 1

Tang Shaoyang was about to hit the glowing arms with his battle-ax but the ground on his footing raised. He was getting pushed up by the ground and flung away to the air. He opened his wings and reduced the momentum and flipped in the air.

When he stabilized his position, he saw the enemies were gone. The ground shot up and flung Goldien, Goldier, and the Obsidian Gator far away from him. He then looked in the direction of the Earthern Gator. The culprit behind all of this was this Earthern Gator. He used the Earth Elemental to escape.

"That means the Anti-Mana Domain is turned off if they can use their elemental power," Tang Shaoyang muttered as he activated the [Spirit Eyes]. Goldier, Goldien, and Obsidian Gator were already far away. He could give chase.

He was about to chase them but Roni, the Venomous Gator, sent out venomous fog. The green fog discharged from the body. The fog immediately filled the swamp before Roni was flung away by the Earthern Gator, and the Earthern Gator also flung himself to the air.

The venomous fog delayed him for sure but Tang Shaoyang decided not to chase too. He let them go away. Of course, he had his reason for that. He wanted to take the trial first and faced the Gator Tribe again. If he killed them now, the exp would be wasted since his level was capped at level 1000. He was pretty sure that it was not going to increase unless he reached the Epic Rank.

"Alright guys, return!" He was speaking to his spirits, "That's enough for today. We will have more fights later," he called off all the spirits. All the spirits disappeared from the battlefield as they returned to the spiritual space.

The battle was over as the Gator Tribe lost one of their Elders and a big chunk of their forces. That was a big win since Tang Shaoyang lost none and he managed to reach level 1000. That was his purpose in fighting the Gator Tribe.

Aki watched the battle from behind, and he could not believe what he watched. A man against the whole Gator Tribe, and he won at that. Killing one of the Elders, wounding two of the Elders, and a chunk of the Gator Tribe was destroyed.

Amazed? The rat beastmen was more than shocked. He was stunned by the thing that unfolded before his eyes. He did not know that his Lord was this strong. Myth Rank and five Ancient Ranks could not even corner his Lord. They were having a hard time against one man.

Aki realized that he did not know much about his new Lord. His Lord was not an Epic Rank but he was much stronger than an Epic Rank. Even Myth Rank was having a hard time against him. The longer he stayed with his Lord the more he felt that conquering the Gigante Forest was no longer impossible.

As his thoughts wandered around, his Lord returned to his side, "Welcome back, My Lord. What should we do next? Should we chase the Gator Tribe?"

"There's no need. We will return to a safe place. I am going to take the trial to Epic Rank, I want you…" Tang Shaoyang paused. He wanted to say that Aki should safeguard him while he took the trial but he changed his mind, "I will return to the city instead. It's safer there as I am far from these tribes. I want you to ensure the safety of others, Aki! I want you and Lauri to lead them temporarily until my return."

"Yes, My Lord. I will do my best to protect your people," Aki bowed his head.

Tang Shaoyang was about to fly but out of nowhere, Greed jumped onto his shoulder. The Dark Predator did not want to be left behind.

"Huh, you are getting bigger!?" He noticed that the cat was getting bigger. Greed became bigger than a normal cat, about the size of a dog but a bit smaller. Tang Shaoyang gave a quick check on his buddy.

——————————

Name: Greed

Race: Beast - Dark Predator

Affiliation: Tang Empire - Tang Shaoyang's Companion

Evolution: Stage 9

Level: 637

Skill: [Natural Invisible] [Mana Manipulation] [Shadow Ruler] [Night Vision] [Shadow Split] [Shadow Illusion] [Shadow Domain] [Shadow Bind] [Shadow Blind]

——————————

The Dark Predator had reached adulthood, and it was stage-9 evolution. A rank below to reach an Epic Rank. This guy was really worth being nurtured.

"You went missing for a while, and you have evolved again," Tang Shaoyang smiled and rubbed the black fur. The little guy purred happily as Greed rested his head.

After a quick check, he then left Aki and Lauri in charge of his force. There was no way to bring them all back to the city with him. Even though Lauri was weaker than the other chiefs, the others still listened to Lauri as Tang Shaoyang put a lot of trust in the chief of the Pallarmus Tribe.

It was not even two hours since he left Biaska Town, and he returned again. By the time he arrived at Biaska Town Tang Shaoyang saw that many knights were wandering around at Biaska Plaza. He landed in front of the Biaska Inn. As soon as he landed the knights that were around the inn immediately knelt toward him, "We greet Lord Tang!" The voice boomed at the plaza.

"Rise!" Tang Shaoyang nodded and motioned them to get up. After that, he entered the Biaska Inn. The attendants immediately stood in line and greeted him respectfully as he was royalty. Not wrong though as he was indeed royalty. He was the first Generation of royalty.

"Where's Roan? I want to meet him now!" There was a male attendant. Before the male attendant could reach him he asked him.

"Sir Roan is in his room upstairs, Lord Tang. Do you want me…" Before the male attendant finished his words, Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, "There's no need, I will go there myself!"

The Hunters who had their ale and food on the first floor looked toward him. They did not know what happened and were curious about Tang Shaoyang. These hunters were not aware of what transpired within the town. They did not know there was a shift of power within the town. Of course, some hunters were aware of who he was. The man who defeated the former Mayor of the town.

Tang Shaoyang made his way upstairs. There was someone that informed Roan that Tang Shaoyang returned to the town. They met on the stairs, before the old man could say anything, Tang Shaoyang spoke first, "We will talk in your room,"

Roan nodded and followed Tang Shaoyang closely. Roan's room was on the highest floor of the Biaska Inn, "How's with the contract? Have all the knights signed the contract?"

"All knights have signed the contracts. Tristan and Carl are now helping the knights to retrieve their family in Ambrose Family's territory," Roan replied quickly.

"What about Selena and Ashley? Are they helping Tristan and Carl too?" Tang Shaoyang could not see the two girls even with his [Spirit Eyes].

"No, they should be in the town. Maybe they are in the market district," Roan did not know where the two girls went. The two were his superior. There was no way he would send someone to follow the two girls. On top of that, the city should be fairly safe for Ashley. Since the two Ladies refused to have escorts he was not going to force them.

"I see, let them be then," Tang Shaoyang nodded. Ashley was having a hard time with her father. It would be better for her to have some time off and have some entertainment to overcome her issue.

Soon the two reached the Roan room, "I have a question for you, Roan," as soon as they reached the room, Tang Shaoyang was the first one to open his mouth.

"Ask away My Lord," Roan bowed his head.

"You have reached the Epic Rank for years so I want to know more about the Trial of the Epic," Tang Shaoyang directly went to the main topic. He was not shy to ask his subordinates about that. There was nothing to be ashamed to ask his subordinate.

Roan paused and looked toward his Lord with his eyes widened a little bit. If his Lord asked him about the Trial of the Epic then that meant his Lord had met the requirement to take the Trial of the Epic.
