Chapter 256 - Huntingʼs Time - Part 1

Quora, an Emerald Rank Party who took the quest [Capture the Evils] was hiding in the distance. Aren, the party leader who was also Emerald Rank Adventurer, was holding something similar to a telescope but it was made of glass. He was monitoring Tang Shaoyang who just stood up on the thick branch.

”Have you checked the surroundings? Did you find his party members anywhere?” Aren was asking his party members who were on standby behind him.

”I have checked the surrounding area with [Greater Sight] but canʼt find anyone around,” Coral, the archer of the party reported. He was a Platinum Rank Adventurer, taking the quest in hoping to get the Greater Blessing. With Greater Blessing, advancing to Emerald or even Sky-Emerald was no longer a pipe of a dream.

”My [Mana Sensing] also does not detect anyone aside from the other adventurers in the radius a thousand meters area,” Karen, the mage in yellow robe reported her useless discovery. She was also a Platinum Rank Adventurer and harbored the same thought as Coral did. Not only two of them, everyone did.

”I have checked the five thousand meters area, and the same, could not find his party member too,” Dan, the Assassin of the party, followed up with his report. He was the second Emerald Rank in the party.

”There are no traps either, the area is safe from traps,” the Master Scout, Poli followed up with his report. Yet another Platinum Rank Adventurer in the party.

”Is he an idiot or is he just too confident? I canʼt tell, he reveals his location but he is alone and does not prepare anything for the potential attack. He does not try to hide his location too,” Gulian, Protector was his class, the second advancement for the Shield Bearer. He was the frontline of the party and also the Platinum Rank Adventurer.

”I bet thatʼs the latter, he could take hundreds of Royal Knight and Guardian Knight combined, you should not underestimate him, Gulian,” Adrian, the Battle Berserker of the party commented. He was the third Emerald Rank Adventurer of the Quora Party.

The last member was a Cleric, but she was just a Gold Rank Adventurer. Aren decided to not bring the precious healer of his party, just in case the quest turned out to be a disaster.

”Mnn, Adrian is right. We canʼt underestimate him just because heʼs alone. Moreover, I heard a rumor that he managed to kill a Templar Knight Henry and also Grand Royal Knight Turi. For the time being, we will observe the situation from afar, if the situation allows, we will join the fight and capture him. Thatʼs the plan!” Aren, the Great Swordsman told his plan to his party member with a smile. He was trying to take advantage of the other partiesʼ impatience to measure how strong the target was.

”What if the other party captures him first?” Karen said in a concerned tone, but the Battle Berserker Adrian grinned at Karen, ”We then seize the target from them, thatʼs the plan right?” Aren nodded his head in return.

”Two Platinum Rank Parties are approaching the target!” Coral saw the two parties were approaching Tang Shaoyang with his [Greater Sight].

Everyone immediately looked toward the direction. Just like Coral said, two groups were approaching the target. One group came from the north while the other group came from the west.

The group from the north was composed of ten adventurers while the group from the west was composed of nine adventures. Aren then used his Magnifying Glass to monitor Tang Shaoyang.

There was something that bothered him about the target. From the description, Tang Should be a man with blue hair and also blue eyes, if not for the drawing in his hand, he might mistake the black-haired Tang Shaoyang for someone else.

While his thoughts on something else, he noticed Tang leaped toward the north direction. Even though the two parties moved secretly, the target easily found them. Through the Magnifying Glass, he followed Tang Shaoyangʼs movement.

It was just a normal leap, but he noticed a big change of appearance on Tang Shaoyang in midair. His air suddenly turned as lightning surged up from his heels. It was more like he transformed and this kind of appearance was what he knew about the target.

While the other parties were observing Tang Shaoyang, he made his move. He had located all the guests, it was time to hunt them down.

—Why do you always integrate with Lightning Bitch?

Karanʼs voice filled with jealousy rang in his head while coming down from the tree. Zowen was laughing in response, mocking the orc.

—Not only you are horny, but also dumb. He has tasted the power of magic, do you think he will use your power?

”Donʼt listen to her, Karan. I am integrating with her because these people only know me as a mage. My integration with you will be my secret weapon to fight them!” Tang Shaoyang explained. Right after he finished his words, he landed right in front of the group who tried to sneak up.

His sudden appearance shocked the group, and he used this chance to cast [Lightning Chain]. He extended his palm and lightning shot toward the Heavy Warrior in the front before a chain reaction was created as the lightning continued to strike the people behind the Heavy Warrior. The [Lightning Chain] stunned the ten adventurers.

Tang Shaoyang cast the second and third [Lightning Chain], causing the ten adventurers to be completely stunned. None of them could even move their fingers after the third [Chain Lightning].

In the stunned state, he cast [Thunder Wraith]. Ten thunder continuously struck down. Each adventurer was presented with thunder. After the series of attacks, all ten adventurers fell weakly.

”It does not kill them?” Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, ”Your skill is not as strong as I thought, Zowen.”

—Thatʼs because you donʼt focus your attributes on Magic Power.

”But integration with you gives me 3000 Magic Power already, this should be enough to kill them,” Tang Shaoyang approached the fallen group as his hand formed a sword made of lightning though [Advanced Lightning Creation].

As he approached the group, he cast [Basic Detection] on one of them.

”H-have mercy…” the Heavy Warrior pleaded weakly. He could barely speak as his voice was faint, but he had a sharp hearing. The Heavy Warrior kept saying the same thing.

”Have mercy? Guhahaha…” Tang Shaoyang let out laughter, ”What will you do if I am weaker than you? Will you give me mercy? Of course not, you will capture me and hand me to the Church, right? The moment you raised your sword to someone else, you should be prepared for the consequence!”

After saying that, he raised his lightning sword and stabbed the man in the neck. The sword pierced through the throat and he pulled the sword to the side, tearing the manʼs neck apart. It was instant death.

He did not give mercy, even his opponent was a woman or an old man. Tang Shaoyang killed them all in the same fashion. After the tenth adventurer, the sweet notification rang in his head.
