Chapter 317: The Fifth Spirit (1/2)
Zaneos's figure blurred into a dark streak toward the Scorched Ant's swarm. As soon as he arrived in front of the swarm, the demon pulled out his sword from the sheath.
It was a matter of a few seconds before Zaneos sheathed the sword back. The Scorched Ants in his range suddenly stopped moving before they fell into pieces. Zaneos killed dozens of the Scorched Ants in front of him into pieces in one pull of his sword.
Zowen stopped her attack to see how strong Zaneos was. She stared at the demon in the distance. There was an invisible frown on her forehead.
Li Na was the same, she was shocked how fast the swordsman killed those many Scorched Ants in one attack. She could not see anything aside from pulling the sword out and sheathing the sword back.
While they would not be able to see what happened, Tang Shaoyang saw everything clearly. It was all thanks to his [Dragon Eyes]. He saw that when Zaneos drew the sword, countless blades followed out, decapitating the Scorched Ants within the range.
Tang Shaoyang tried to comprehend what actually happened, 'Is it the sword? No way, the sword is created by my skill, not a treasure. It must be his skill.'
He tried to watch Zaneos's skill longer, but soon he gave up. Even though he could see everything, he could not learn the skill by watching him. But there was another thought in his head, 'What if I am his opponent? What should I do to defend against that?'
'[Flame Shield] may be useful against his attack, but it could block all blades. Even with [Mana Shroud] combined, the blades will easily break my defensive skill,' Tang Shaoyang could not think of a way to block the attack. The only way was to dodge the attack instead of facing it head-on.
'Maybe my [Dragon Scales] is enough to block the blades,' this was the last effort he might do if he could not dodge the blades, 'But how am I supposed to win against Zaneos?', looking at how easy the Demon Swordsman was to execute the skill, it should not be his strongest skill.
Tang Shaoyang was sitting on his original spot, thinking, stimulating the fight against Zaneos, and estimating his chance against Zaneos. The only way he could think was to overwhelm the Demon Swordsman with his attribute by using [Dragon Transformation] and integration with Rumru if it was possible.
Four hours passed by, the Scorched Ants were still coming out of the mounds, but their numbers decreased drastically. Moon and Karan were battling side by side. Tang Shaoyang could tell that the bear was exhausted after battling four hours non-stop.
Zaneos was like a slicing machine, he cut the Scorched Ants into pieces, and he gained two levels after Zaneos joined the battle. The battle could end faster if he joined too, but he wanted Li Na also to get her share. If he joined, she might not level up as he easily wiped the swarm.
Based on Zhang Mengyao's information, it was hard for Li Na to level faster because she had to share her gain with Moon. Both the summon and the master leveled up together so they had to kill twice the amount of monster or beast to level up. The main reason he did not join the battle.
Soon, the Scorched Ants number dwindled to zero, there were no more giant ants standing in the area. He had checked the area through [Spirit Eyes] and the area was safe.
Four hours and around twenty minutes, the group finished the huge swarm of Scorched Ant. As soon as the battle was over, Zowen was the first one to go back into spirit space, ”I am off, this is so exhausting…” Lightning Magus bid her farewell, not only to him she also waved her hand toward Li Na before she disappeared.
Karan also dragged his avatar body, it was a new discovery that they could be exhausted in their avatar body, ”That was a satisfying battle,” that was what Orc Warrior told him before he also went back to spirit space, leaving Zaneos, Moon, Li Na, and Tang Shaoyang.
”You don't want to go back? You can get exhausted even if you are in an avatar body it seems,” he looked toward Zaneos who stood a meter away to the right.
