Chapter 292: Resolve (1/2)
—It's too soon for the farewell, it seems.
That was Zaneos' words at the revelation. Tang Shaoyang saw Rumru on his original spot albeit his black figure was a little transparent.
Not only Tang Shaoyang was surprised, but even Rumru himself was also surprised. His giant head glanced around in confusion until he stopped at him.
”What is this?” His deafening and also confusing voice filled the cave. Rumru was questioning Tang Shaoyang as he believed he just died.
”It seems my [Spirit Summoning] skill is calling you back,” Tang Shaoyang had told Rumru why he needed his body and also his wife's. The Dragon should understand what he spoke of.
”So, I am a spirit now!?” The Dragon's exhausted voice replied.
”But I think this is a good thing, no?” Tang Shaoyang grinned at the Dragon.
The Dragon just stared at the man, ”Why do you think this is a good thing? Don't you know that I have no will to continue living? Even if you did not kill me, I will run havoc and get killed by the human force.”
That was Rumru's original plan. After the bloodline inheritance, he planned to run havoc in the human's territories to lure those Fake Gods out. He wanted to take at least one or two of them down with him. That was the plan, he pinned all his hopes on Tang Shaoyang.
”But isn't this better? Don't want you to see them fall with your eyes? Don't you want to see them suffer, or you can make them suffer by yourself?” Tang Shaoyang threw a few questions that might cause the Dragon's spirit to live.
”But how am I supposed to do that without my physical body?” The Dragon shook his head.
”Of course, you can!” Tang Shaoyang smiled and he tried his new skill [Spirit Avatar]. He extended his hand to the side and a body formed. A concentrate of thick mana formed a body, a little over four meters tall with his bulky body, and canine teeth protruded out his mouth.
[Spirit Avatar] was a skill to summon a spirit with a temporary body created of mana concentration. Yes, Tang Shaoyang summoned Karan through the skill, but his level was limited, level 200, the same level as him.

[Karan (Spirit Avatar)]
Tier: Spirit Tier-C
Level: 200

Karan was even more surprised than Rumru who got called back through [Spirit Summoning]. The Orc did not bother to greet Tang Shaoyang and just straight ignored the Dragon. He used his hand to punch the air and jumped here and there.
After a long time of death and living as a spirit, it was a pretty nostalgic and joyous occasion for the orc to have a physical body even though it was just a temporary body.
Tang Shaoyang did not bother to call the exciting orc too, ”He's one of my spirits, his name is Karan the Great Warrior!”
The Dragon was surprised to see the orc for a moment. The human in front of him never stopped to surprise him, from asking something outrageous like his wife's body and even his life, and now this.
”One of your spirits? Does that mean you have more than one?” The spirit concept piqued the magical creature's interest.
”Yeah, I have a prideful magus and a demon swordsman too. You will not be lonely, much better than being confined in a dark space alone too!” Tang Shaoyang grinned at the old man.
”Then, can you summon my wife and my daughter's spirit too?” The Dragon suddenly got excited at the thought of meeting his wife and his daughter again.
”Technically I can, but you know, the chance of summoning your wife's spirit and your daughter's spirit is very small. The skill randomly summons the spirit based on the sacrificial and also my skill's level,” Tang Shaoyang did not try to lie so the Dragon would sign the contract with him. He told Rumru the truth.
—Let me talk with Rumru! I will talk to him, there's a chance you can summon the spirit you want if you level up your skill high enough. There's a chance for that, let me talk with him so he will sign the contract with you!
Zaneos immediately talked to Tang Shaoyang, there was an urgency within his voice. It seemed the demon lost his calm when he saw Karan moving around, and he wanted to try as well.
—Me too! Me too! Me too!
Even Zowen was eager to get summoned just like Karan. Of course, Tang Shaoyang did not mind summoning the two of them together. He summoned Zaneos and Zowen too, so the three spirits could have a reunion with their temporary bodies.
Of course, the two were calmer than the orc. They were testing their body, how good the body compared to their original body.
”The body is bad, much worse than my original body, but it's good to have a physical body,” that was Zaneos' comment. Since his body was all blue, people would recognize him as a human if not for his horn.
