Chapter 1147: No To Up Expectation

”It seems you havenʼt read the report I sent you two days ago, Sir.” Mister Secretary stated, looking at his superiorʼs expression. His guess hit the mark.

”I wrote a detailed report on how the Tang Empire could have an upper hand against the Divine Church. Their important key is not the two Legend Ranks that accompanied Lady Zhang, but their assassin squads. They have an elite assassin that hunted down the elite of the Divine Churchʼs elite. From the information I get, the Divine Church failed to kill a single assassin in the war.”

An empire had assassin squads were not something new, but it was a surprise if every single assassination was a success. The Divine Church was not just nobody, they were an elite faction that had gone through many wars to spread their teaching and conquer the other worlds. They should have a method to fight against the assassin, but the fact that they failed to kill a single assassin was a surprise, a shocking revelation.

”I have made a more detailed report about their assassin, and I have come up with two solutions to counter their assassin. I can tell you what I wrote in the report right here, right now. Or do you prefer to read it in your room?”

Redvers Scovel stood up and headed to the exit, ”Letʼs go back.” As he walked, he opened the communication system and told his people to get back. He chose to trust his secretary, ”Also, make an appointment with the Divine Church. I will teach those newbies some lessons for defying me!”

Zhang Mengyao was at ease as she left the Administrative Building, heading toward the north gate. Based on her calculation, Wrath, and Greed should arrive by today. She brought Marshal Alton and Moonsong in case something happened. From her understanding of the dwarf, they were the race that excelled in crafting and building.

People would take extreme measures to get dwarves as their people or even slave the dwarf to work them. So she wanted to ensure the dwarfʼs safety until they really entered the city, making sure no one attacked them.

The timing was impeccable. A few seconds after she arrived at the north gate, she noticed a big group approaching the gate. Not just the group, she also saw Wrath and the giant Wyvern in the sky. No one dared to come closer to the approaching group at the sight of a giant shadow hovering above the group.

Zhang Mengyao came out of the city, personally welcoming the group. As she got closer, she got a clear sight of the person who led the group, the red-haired woman in a black cloak, and also a woman in a blue cloak. Her gaze fixated on the blue cloak, not recognizing that while she recognized the red-haired woman.

Rosalie smiled, hugging Zhang Mengyao, ”Donʼt worry. She is not part of our harem. She is just a magus who wants to build a magic tower in the Tang Empire.”

”Watch your language. We have a kid here!” Zowen reminded her friend before bowing toward Zhang Mengyao. ”My name is Zowen, and you should know that I am one of your loverʼs spirits. I want to tell you more about me, but I donʼt think we are in the right place for that.”

Zhang Mengyao nodded, gesturing to them to follow her inside the city. She knew the spirit talk was a sensitive topic and one of Tang Shaoyangʼs power. She did not want to be the person to leak it to the public by having a conversation with the resurrected spirit in the public.

Day Ten of the Trial of Myth

Tang Shaoyang stood at ease with Abyssal Bone in his right hand and Mzed in his left hand. He held the supposed two-handed weapon in each hand, holding the two heavy weapons at ease. The dragon scale covered his body up to his neck while playing with his tail, sweeping the ground.

He just finished the last wave, the hundredth wave of monsters. He did not underestimate the enemy, using everything he got from the start of the trial. The integration, the Grand Dragon Transformation, and also the Infernal Wrath. He used all his strongest skills with the intention to clear the trial as fast as he could.

”Epic Rankʼs special wave is the infant Golden Dragon…. Ancient Rankʼs special wave is a couple of Celestial Wolves…. Whatʼs the special wave for the Myth Rankʼs trial? I hope it does not disappoint me.” A hundred waves of monsters were not an obstacle for Tang Shaoyang. He cleared them with ease, so he was quite excited about the special wave.

Two dark portals formed ahead of him, releasing a sinister aura. The following moment, a figure came out from each portal. He recognized their race as soon as they came out, the demon race.

The two demons had identical features and faces. They were similar, just like twins. Not just their face, but their equipment and build as well. A pair of goat horns, a bulky build, and black armor covered their body.

[Defeat the Twin Demon!]

The notification told him that the demon was a twin, and explained why they had identical features, ”No wonder the System chooses us this time. Our opponent is a dragon descendant.” The demon on the left spoke, scanning Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom.

At the same time, Tang Shaoyang also used Detection skills on the twin demons.

[Name: ??? Class: Hellion Slaughterer Rank: Myth]

[Name: ??? Class: Hellion Slaughterer Rank: Myth]

Not just their features were identical, but everything about them was identical. Their rank, their class, and they might have the same name. It was as if they were cloned or something.

”Hahh….” Tang Shaoyang let out a disappointed sigh, ”What is this? The quality of the trial is getting worse and worse.”

He was not being overconfident, but it was based on the previous special wave. If he had to compare his situation to the past, the Epic Rankʼs special wave was the hardest one. He had to face Wrath who was at that time a Myth Rank while he was not even an Epic Rank, and in the Ancientʼs trial, he faced a couple of Celestial Wolves who were also Myth Rank. Hard but not too hard, and if he had to face two Myth Ranks with his current power, that would be much easier than the previous two special waves.
