Armipotent

Chapter 537 - Unexpected Gain

Derekh Malone struggled under Tang Shaoyangʼs grip as his feet were kicking the air as his fist was hitting Tang Shaoyangʼs hand. His mouth opened wide as if he was screaming but there was no voice coming out from the mouth.

Tang Shaoyangʼs hand was glowing in red and the glow spread out toward Derekh Maloneʼs body. Derekhʼs body shook fiercely as his hand hit Tang Shaoyangʼs hand even harder. Derekh Malone struggled even harder as he shook his head as well. He looked at Tang Shaoyang with a pleading expression as tears gathered in his eyes.

??

He could tell by his expression that Derekh Malone was in great pain. The man was either asking for him to kill him directly or begged for mercy. That was not something he would grant to his enemy. There was only one fate for his enemy, suffering, and death.

Tang Shaoyang let the skill, [Slayer Absorption] did the job. The deep red glow started to seep into Derekh Maloneʼs body. As that happened, Derekh Maloneʼs eyes went blank upward. He passed out from the pain as his body was convulsing in his grip.

Tang Shaoyang noticed that within the next few seconds Derekh Maloneʼs body started to lose its flesh and his skin turned dark, leaving bone and skin. He was not expecting this to happen. Within thirty seconds, nothing was left but bone and skin. Even the eyes went missing from the socket as the teeth started to fall off.

He had to admit that [Slayer Absorption] was quite scary. The deep red energy started to seep out of Derekhʼs body. The dreadful energy returned to Tang Shaoyangʼs body after it sucked all the essence in Derekh Malone.

[You have absorbed an Epic Rank individual! You gained 1098 Agility!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 attribute points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 attribute points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 attribute points!]

…

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 attribute points!]

[You have reached level 836!]

Tang Shaoyangʼs widened a little bit when he heard the notification. He expected the level up, but he did not expect the bonus Agility. He did not expect that there would be a bonus attribute from using the skill, ʼIf that is the case…ʼ he then glanced at Duran Ambrose. The man was falling with his knees, looking at Derekh Maloneʼs corpse in a daze. The shock was apparent on his face.

He walked toward Duran Ambrose and tried to reach Duranʼs neck with his right hand. However, his hand stopped midway as he remembered something. He did not know if Ashley wanted to talk with her father or not.

”What? Why are you hesitating? Kill me!?” Duran Ambrose raised his tone. The man had overcome his shock and realized everything had come to an end. There was only one end for him and it was death.

”What? Are you hesitating because I am that whoreʼs father? You could never wind against the Revolution Army! Long Live Revolution Army!!!” The man did not beg for mercy as he said something ridiculous in the last moment of his life.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and reached Duranʼs neck. Instead of activating his [Slayer Absorption] on Duran, he dragged the man toward Ashley. The girl was fighting against the knights of the two families. Nothing could stop her in the battle as she without hesitating slaughtered all of them.

Tang Shaoyang picked up his pace and rushed toward her. He then threw her father in front of her, ”Do you have something you want to say to your father?”

Ashley looked toward Tang Shaoyang in shock before she looked back at her father. She observed her fatherʼs condition. Within a few seconds of observation, she could tell that her father overdrawn his mana and fell into this state. Within those few seconds, she could tell what happened. Her father executed Frost Sword Technique: The Seventh Frost Sword.

Ashley then looked back at Tang Shaoyang. The man was still in his dragon transformation. She scanned him, trying to find if he suffered any injuries. However, she could not even find a scratch on those shiny black scales. That meant her man managed to fight off the seventh frost sword and left unscathed.

”What about Derekh Malone?” After some time, she decided to ask him. He was facing two Epic Ranks alone.

”Derekh? He died,” Then Tang Shaoyang realized that Derekh Malone was her father as well, ”Do you perhaps want to talk with him too?”

Ashleyʼs eyes widened in shock when she heard that. She thought he only managed to capture her father after he executed the Frost Sword Technique. But that was not the case. Not only did he defeat the Seventh Frost Sword and capture her father, but he also killed Derekh Malone. Both were Epic Ranks yet they stood no chance against him. The two could not even leave a scratch on his scales.

”Just how strong are you?” Ashley blurted out, but then she shook her head. She finally realized what her grandmother tried to say to her. The man was much stronger than she thought and that was true.

Tang Shaoyang looked at Ashley then he looked at Duran, ”Should I answer your question? Or should I give you and your father some space to have a conversation?”

Ashley shook her head. ”Good,” He nodded. Because he did not know the answer as well. It was true that he did not know how strong he was. He was never getting cornered in a battle but one time. It was against the Clown God of the Arkania Continent. He was not at the level of a God yet for sure.

”Then I will leave you, father and daughter, alone,” Tang Shaoyang was about to turn around, looking for a new target for his [Slayer Absorption]. He had to stop his steps as he heard Duran Ambroseʼs words, ”Thereʼs no need! Just kill me! Thereʼs nothing we need to talk about. I lost, you can take my life!”
