196 So, What? (1/2)

Before the girl could reply, her figure blurred and dissipated into blue smoke. The blue smoke swirled around his body for a moment before it entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead.

Along with her disappearance, the lightning also disappeared with her. He fell to the ground weakly while the burned mark left behind by the lightning slowly healed. Just like Zaneos said, his self-healing ability was outstanding.

Tang Shaoyang was relieved he managed to win. It was truly a small gap of winning against the magus. However, he was confident he could win, the reason? Her arrogance was the main factor.

From the start, she never thought that she would be defeated by Tang Shaoyang. the man she deemed weak, she looked down on him from the start of the battle. Never crossed in her mind that she would lose.

Tang Shaoyang played along with her ego, he just dodged all her attacks to make her think that he did not have a way to reach or attack her. At the last moment, with her last spell, that was the best chance for a surprise attack like that.

Zowen was thinking that Tang Shaoyang would lose. A scenario where she would be defeated never crossed her mind despite knowing nothing about her opponent. Her arrogance was the one who caused her loss, if she was more cautious, she would easily dodge the [Flash Step].

—How? What was that just now?

Zowen's voice rang in his head. She had not overcome her shock from losing against Tang Shaoyang.

—Your ego, your pride, and your arrogance blinded your judgment.

—Who? Who's that?

Zowen reacted strongly at Zaneos's voice. She did not know that she was the third spirit.

—We are your neighbor, Lady! Nice to meet you, my name is Karan!

Hearing the panicking voice from his new spirit and their conversation, Tang Shaoyang smiled. He was about to stand but Zhang Mengyao extended her hand.

He reached her hand and stood up, ”Are you okay?” Along with the concerned question, he noticed that the others were around as well. They seemed to be concerned about his condition after the fight.

Of course, from Tang Shaoyang's perspective, it was a physiological battle. However, the onlookers looked differently. Each strike and attack from Zowen was intimidating for them. They could feel the terror of the lightning strike. The fact that Tang Shaoyang kept dodging the lightning strike was amazing to them.

The everlasting impression was the last spell that got canceled. Countless tridents made of lightning surrounded their Boss, they thought Tang Shaoyang would lose. Even Zhang Mengyao was ready to rush to help. But no one expected their Boss would defeat the fierce spirit at the last moment.

Everyone nodded, their Boss looked fine from the outside while the charred back had been replaced by new skin. On the way back, he remembered the soldiers were not teleported with them, ”What about the soldiers, have they come to report?”

”Not yet, they may be on the way to our camp,” Zhang Mengyao shook her head, ”Or maybe they are already in the camp, we followed you right after we arrived.”
