Chapter 622 - Against Alton - Part 2 (1/2)

”I will be disappointed if you die from that attack.” Tang Shaoyang grinned at the blazing old man. ”You finally got serious, huh?”

”You will regret this, Young Man. No one is ever alive after fighting me with this form.” Alton said tonelessly as he observed the surroundings. Everything was charred black because of their clash. However, he was relieved that no one suffered from the clash. ”I have to stop this before you kill my people.”

Fwoosh!

Alton's figure blurred into a crimson streak and appeared right before Tang Shaoyang. The old knight did not use any skill, and he merely hacked his sword down toward Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang crossed his battle-ax and received the sword attack.

Swoosh!

As soon as the sword touched his battle-ax, the flame sword produced a blazing flame that swallowed Tang Shaoyang. As the flame swallowed Tang Shaoyang as a whole, it exploded.

Boom!

Alton did not stop there, and he could tell that the young man was still standing right in front of him from his sword. His body turned around in the air and launched a spinning kick toward Tang Shaoyang's chest.

Boom!

The flame exploded again as a figure flew backward from the explosion. Tang Shaoyang was flung into the air as his body crashed into trees, and he stabilized himself in the air with [Sky Walk]. He recovered his footing and looked at the blazing figure in surprise.

The first sword attack breaks his first two outer defenses, [Flame Shield] and [Mana Shroud]. The kick was unexpectedly strong as blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood with his thumb. Even though he was in a disadvantageous position, the broad grin was still on his expression.

Alton's attack only made him excited even more for the battle. He glanced at Zaneos and Bronson, who were still fighting Allan. The old knight was getting pushed back by their combination attack.

'I think I need your power here, Zaneos. I am sorry, but I have to recall you back for the integration.' Tang Shaoyang spoke to Zaneos through [Spirit Link].

From that short exchange, he could tell what he was lacking; it was the technique. While he was good at fighting, it was just a brawl of strength and instinct. He did not have an essential discipline like Zaneos, who chose the path of the sword, or like Alton, who had been trained to be a knight. In this case, Zowen also did not have the basics of fighting in close combat.

'There's no need for you to be sorry, My Lord. This is my duty.' After saying that, Tang Shaoyang recalled Zaneos to his Spiritual Space and canceled the integration with Zowen. 'Thank you for your help, Zowen.'

After he canceled the integration, he immediately used the skill again. The lighting strips on his outer scale disappeared as two small black horns appeared below his dragon's horn, and there was no particular change on him aside from those two small horns.

”Then let's match our attribute with Legend Rank knight.” After the integration with Zaneos, he cast more skills, [Enhanced Strength] and [Raged Alteration].

[Enhanced Strength] boosted his Strength by 10-Star while [Raged Alteration] increased all his attributes for 5-Star. He did not stop there as he cast his new skill, and this was a new skill he never tried in actual battle, even when he was fighting the Green Sky Serpent, [Infernal Wrath].

[Infernal Wrath] doubled all his attributes, but it consumed his stamina. With all buff he had, Tang Shaoyang checked his current attributes.
