Chapter 1571  The Descendant of The Dragon Guardian

Centurion teleported back to his room. Using his authority as an overseer, he broke the rule by interfering with the trial directly. The worst consequence would be losing his class. The lighter punishment would be fighting the Void Creature or Calamity to free more abandoned worlds for the players. But he was ready for the consequences in order to save his sister.

”Hahhhh….”

The white-haired vampire let out a long sigh and looked at his left hand. The hand that held the red blood shield. His left hand trembled, and his fingers and wrist were hurting as well. That was him, blocking Tang Shaoyangʼs sword. Deep inside, he was shocked by how heavy and powerful the strike was. If not for his God Rank shield, he might not be able to block the sword.

That was the reason why he tried to amend the relationship with Tang Shaoyang after he failed to kill Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang would just keep getting stronger, and he might surpass his grandfather. Having someone like Tang Shaoyang targeting the Valentine Family was grave.

Centurion shook his head and stored his equipment before heading toward the control room. He must watch and take note of Tang Shaoyangʼs spirits. It was the preparation for the worst. If they could not reconcile with Tang Shaoyang, then his family would be ready for the spirits.

On another side of the trialʼs area, a party of four, Ian Carmen Lorentia, Agnes Neteri Iosava, Castor Bach Justesen, and a new member were having a break, taking shelter under a giant tree. The three reunited and formed the party for the last stage. It was Ian who invited them to form a party with him.

Agnes and Castor had no reason to decline the invitation from Ian who was clearly on another level above them. If not for Tang Shaoyang, Ian might be the one who had that gem crown.

The fourth member was Ianʼs acquaintance, someone from the Dragon Realm, the descendant of one of the Dragon Guardians, Zonaras. He was a half-dragon and half human, and he awakened his fatherʼs bloodline, the Frost Dragon. His name was Vitali.

”Are you guys sure you donʼt want to join Mourad? The bounty reward is quite decent just to kill nobody,” Vitali brought it up again. He had been talking about Tang Shaoyangʼs bounty for quite a while, every chance he got.

”Put aside that we are in the same team in the second stage. I donʼt want to lose my life for nothing. I donʼt think Mourad and those people could kill Tang Shaoyang either no matter how many people he gathers,” Castor answered truthfully.

All this time, he dodged the question by saying Tang Shaoyang was their former team. It would leave a bad aftertaste trying to kill their former teammate. But Vitali kept bringing this up, so he answered truthfully.

”Even with me and Ian?” Vitali pointed at himself, confident in his strength even against a Spirit Contractor. His confidence came from his power because he had the same crown as Tang Shaoyang.

Castor and Agnes exchanged glances, and then they turned toward Ian. They wanted to answer, but they did not want to speak on Ianʼs behalf. That might offend Ian as it was quite rude to compare Ian with Tang Shaoyang in front of the man himself.

”I think so. Itʼs not just about his Spirit Contractor class, but also his bloodline. I saw him using True Dragon in the middle of the city. That means his bloodline is pure and might be even purer than you. And we donʼt know what other classes or even the talent he has as well. Letʼs not take the risk. Donʼt you want to strengthen your bloodline as well?”

That was right, they met with Mourad as well. Vitali was the only one interested in hunting Tang Shaoyang, but the three disagreed. They declined the invitation and moved further from Tang Shaoyang. That was the ideal decision not to be in the same area as Tang Shaoyang.

Agnes nodded in agreement that the risk of fighting Tang Shaoyang was too big, ”I agree. That Mourad guy thinks they are the hunters, but in fact, they are the prey in Tang Shaoyangʼs eyes. He even killed seven Administrators by himself. Even if they managed to overwhelm Tang Shaoyang with numbers. I believe he could escape from them easily.”

That was the reason Agnes did not want to join Mourad. She knew they would fail from the start even with more people. For someone like Tang Shaoyang, even if he lost against them, he could easily escape. That was the scariest part because if that happened, Tang Shaoyang would hunt them down. ”But I was surprised when I saw Novoa following Mourad? What do you think happened between her and Tang Shaoyang for her to try to join Mourad as well? Does she have a grudge against Tang Shaoyang? But why did she agree to join our team if she has a grudge?” Castor could no longer hold his curiosity.

They met with Novoa back then, but she pretended not to recognize them for some reason.

”Oh… Does this Tang Shaoyang have a good look?” Vitaliʼs gossipy heart was also curious. He seemed to have forgotten about what he brought up early and focused on the gossip instead.

”I would say he is indeed decent looking, and more importantly, he has this aura, a manly aura that makes a womanʼs heart flutter,” Castor rubbed his chin, nodding his head as he recalled Tang Shaoyang. Agnes rolled her eyes at Castor for the nonsense.

”Thatʼs easy. Tang Shaoyang rejected this Novoa, and she was hurt by the rejection. Thatʼs why she tries to kill him now,” Vitali was quite wild with his imagination despite not knowing Tang Shaoyang and Novoa, ”Women, you know. You canʼt understand them.”

”Thatʼs enough,” Ian could no longer listen to the nonsense as he got up, ”The break is over. Letʼs look for more people.”

Tang Shaoyang watched how the battle ended. It took them quite a while to finish the fight, around fifteen minutes. If not for the remaining people surrendered, it might take them twenty minutes or even more to wipe them.

By the time the fight finished, he looked up to check his point. He was currently sitting at 8487.5 points. He just killed a tenth of the participants for the last stage.

”Does someone manage to escape? I forgot to tell you guys to let one or two escape, so they would gather more people for me.”

His method was proven effective. By letting Mourad escape, he wiped out a tenth of the participants already. He should let one or two run instead of killing them all.

His spirits and skeletons shook their heads. Their enemy was either killed or surrendered with zero escape.
