Chapter 565 - Wave After Wave

Tang Shaoyang spent his time listening to Doru the Obsidian Golem's past story until the fourth wave of the monster came. He made sure that he was fighting the fourth wave away from the stone pillar. The place had become his home in this trial dimension. He did not want the place reeked of blood.

He identified where the monster wave came from through the vibration on the ground before he flew toward the direction, "The first monster wave came from the west, then north, east, and now south? This makes me curious what's at the end of this grassland? Should I go there after clearing the fourth wave?

Soon, he saw the swarms of the monsters. Most of the monsters were about the same. He could see goblins, hobgoblins, trolls, orcs, and more. If something puzzled him, it was the orc monster. How could Karan become that strong even though he was just an orc? All the orcs he faced were quite weak, much weaker than Karan.

Tang Shaoyang did not dawdle with that mystery that he could not answer. He threw the thoughts about Karan and the orcs he faced before he dived into the monster swarm.

Boom!

He landed amidst the monsters and killed dozens of the monsters. The monsters were about to swarm him from all directions but he swung his battle-ax thirty-sixty degrees, decapitating all the monsters in the range of his battle-ax. The continuous attack continued as he slashed the Dragon Destroyer horizontally. At the same time, he activated the skill, [Invisible Slash].

The monsters in ten meters ahead of the battle-ax were sliced into two. That was just a slaughter. The monsters could do nothing even though their enemy was just one person.

After [Invisible Slash], Tang Shaoyang used his elemental skill, [Master of Elemental]. Since the skill had evolved, it was far easier to control the elemental power. He just needed to think about it and the surroundings would move on his thoughts. He imagined spikes burst out from the ground, and the ground vibrated as thousands of spikes shot upward.

The spikes impaled thousands of monsters. At this point, killing thousands of monsters was just like walking in the park for him.

Tang Shaoyang then pulled back all the spikes as fire gathered in his hand. The fire in his hand was golden red in color but then the fire died down again, "Shet, I am getting so excited that I almost burned the monster," He needed the monsters' corpses for the summoning. He could not use the [Divine Fire] to kill them. Anything with fire could not be used.

"What about this then!" Tang Shaoyang extended his hand wide and a giant tornado formed around him. The tornado swept the monsters and also the monster that had died, "I guess the wind is not an option as well. I don't want to blow the corpses away from me. I am suffering from becoming too powerful,"

He was now at loss at what skill he must use to kill the monsters. He wanted to wipe the fourth wave as soon as possible so he could finish the Trial of the Epic quickly. Time, he needed to return in time to ambush the Dark Tribe and the two Guardian Beasts. He had six days until the date, and it was around four months in this dimension.

"I guess I have no choice but to use Earth Elemental Power instead," Tang Shaoyang controlled the earth as the spikes kept shooting upward from the ground, killing the monsters. Sometimes he would build two earth walls and sandwich the monsters with the earth wall. Or he would form a wide earth plate and let the plate crushed the monsters.

Just like that, he finished off 79000 monsters in less than an hour.

[You have cleared the fourth wave!]

That was an indication that he had killed all the monsters within the fourth wave, "Let summon two more spirits, and I will beat them into submission instead of promising to avenge them or resolve their regrets. I have made too many promises already," He realized that he had made too many promises with the other spirits yet he still could not fulfill one of them. So he decided to not make a promise with the spirit and followed the normal procedures, beating them.

Tang Shaoyang split the monsters into two summonings and summoned two Grade B Spirits. Both were monsters' spirits, one was another Wrath Troll, and the second one was Orc Champion.

"Yet another hour of waiting, should I explore this world instead of waiting at the stone pillar?" With those thoughts in mind, he headed toward where the monster wave spawned at. He flew over to the direction where the fourth wave came from. This place was weird, there's nothing but grassland. Everything was green, no trees, not even a boulder or a different place like a forest or even a lake.

Tang Shaoyang picked up his pace as he wanted to see the end of this grassland. The scenery did not change for half an hour until he discovered something different from the grassland but it was something familiar. The black stone pillar.

After half an hour of quick flying, he returned to the same spot where he arrived in this dimension, "Maybe it is a similar stone pillar but they are actually different," Tang Shaoyang hoped that this was a different stone pillar. He then went down and checked the stone pillar.

He could not differentiate the difference between the beforehand stone pillar and this one. This stone pillar looked exactly the same as the beforehand stone pillar if he assumed both were different stone pillars. There was only one way to find out whether this one was the same stone pillar or not.

Tang Shaoyang flew up once again and headed toward the direction where he slaughtered the fourth wave. If this was the same pillar then the trace of the battle could be found. The blood that painted the grassland.

"Hah…" Tang Shaoyang sighed as he found the trace of the battle at the same place. The blood was still wet, a clear indication that it was the same stone pillar. He was disappointed because that meant he would stay in the same place, the grassland for a long time.

…

[You have cleared the fifth wave!]

Countdown: 01:03:29

——————————

That was what Tang Shaoyang faced, killing the monsters, clearing the monster wave, and waiting for an hour for another monster wave. After that, he would summon more new spirits. He split the sixth wave into four summonings to get four more Grade B Spirits. Slowly, he was building his spirit army.

…

[You have cleared the sixth wave!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 Attribute Points!]

[You have reached level 1003!]

Countdown: 01:02:12

——————————

"Huh!? So I will face the last wave for the Trial of the Epic now?" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice as he looked at the monster composition. There were no Epic Monsters even for the last wave though this was not the last wave for him. He was not going to stop at the seventh wave. He would continue further to his limit.

"Stage-9 Monster, huh?" He had fought the stage-9 Zombie and also the Epic Ranked Zombie. None of them were a threat to him, "Should be still an easy fight,"

Tang Shaoyang then continued with his routine, it was to summon his spirit. With his slightly off calculation, he managed to summon five spirits, four Grade B Spirit, and one Grade C+ Spirit. He had summoned thirteen Spirits in total. And if he combined with the spirits that separated from him. He had thirty-five spirits in total. It was still far to make an army of spirits but he was getting closer to that. Then the next thing was waiting for the seventh wave to spawn.

…

[You have cleared the seventh wave!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 Attribute Points!]

[You have reached level 1004!]

Tang Shaoyang finished the seventh wave of the Trial of the Epic.

[Congratulations! You have finished the Trial of the Epic!]

[Do you want to receive your reward now and leave the trial dimension? Yes. No.]

There was no need for him to consider anything as he immediately tapped 'NO'. He was not going to leave, not until he got the best reward from the trial.

[You can stay in the Trial Dimension! You can touch the stone pillar if you want to leave the Trial Dimension!]

Tang Shaoyang did not return immediately toward the stone pillar. He used the monster's corpses to summon more spirits. This time, he managed to summon six Grade B Spirits after using all the monster's corpses. Now he had 41 Spirits in total.

"Alright, it's to go back now," After he used all the corpses, he returned toward the black stone pillar. He placed his palm on the stone pillar's smooth surface.

[Do you want to return to your original world? Yes. No.]

[Do you want to continue the Trial of the Epic for a greater reward? Yes. No.]
