Armipotent

Chapter 1801  Unlikely Duo

Tang Shaoyang noticed that people were looking at them, witnessing the change in his team members. He would like a private space for the spirit fusion, but the situation was urgent to ask for a private room. The enemy was right in front of them, and he must be quick with it.

Atilla and her team, Team Kalisto, watched everything from the start. Most of them knew about the Spirit Contractor and were still surprised by what a Spirit Contractor could do.

Atilla was the first one to approach Tang Shaoyang after Khayaʼs spirit fusion. Her eyes shone in brilliance. ”Can you do that to me too?”

”No! Itʼs only for my team!” Tang Shaoyang refused without hesitation. Whether they knew what he was doing or not, he was not going to use [Spirit Fusion] on Team Kalisto.

Commander Edson witnessed the transformation halfway after his subordinate reported to him. He came right away and witnessed the change in Tang Shaoyangʼs team. He also came to Tang Shaoyang, but the latter repeated the words. ”No! Itʼs only for my team.”

Khaya POV

She looked at her hand weirdly as her palm released the cold air. Without a doubt, she got much stronger than before, but it was still weird. There was something odd and that feeling was obvious not to notice, someone else was within her.

[Hello~ My name is Radiance. I will be in your care, at least until the battle is over!]

Khaya furrowed her brow. She was about to introduce herself out loud, but she stopped in time to embarrass herself.

[We can communicate telepathically, and I can actually read what is in your mind. Yes, he will have enough mana to maintain all his summon and the fusion. You donʼt need to worry about it!]

She did not like it when someone read what was in her mind. Despite all the boosts and the new skills, she thought of canceling the fusion.

[What are you worried about? I am a spirit. I canʼt spread your secret to the people around, but maybe itʼs just the spirits. You also donʼt need to worry about your captain. He doesnʼt have an interest in what is in your mind. Even if I tried to tell him, he would forget about it the following day. He has something bigger in his mind, so letʼs not cancel the fusion and keep him at ease.]

Khaya had heard everything that the public knew about Tang Shaoyang. The scandal during the trial and even the previous special mission. She did her research before deciding to join The Reds, so she knew what the bigger problem was. It was the Nirvana Alliance who wanted to assassinate him constantly, and also the God Order that tried to take his calamity pets.

She sighed, ʼAlright, letʼs try it.”

[I will not disappoint you, Lady Khaya. Letʼs talk about my abilities first so you will know how to integrate them into my fighting style. When I said that he really doesnʼt have an interest in you or the other elves is true. He doesnʼt have any memory of you fighting, so I also donʼt know how you usually fight.] Radiance tried to remember how Khaya fought, but he realized that he did not have the memory of her fighting.

Radiance started to explain to Khaya about his ability which is basically similar to an Elementalist with Frost Elemental Power. However, his ice ability was stronger than those elementalists with similar elemental powers. He also told her how he usually fought his skills one by one.

Khaya felt guilt for some reason because Radiance had to tell her all his abilities. If she ever fought Radiance, she would have it easier.

[Calm down girl. You canʼt beat me even if you know what I can do.] Radiance snickered as he read what was in her mind.

Khaya closed her eyes, embarrassed that her mind was being read, but then she snapped. ʼYou might be able to beat everyone in the team, but not me. I can easily win against you after you tell me everything you can do!ʼ

[Huhuhu… We will find out soon after the battle, girl. Letʼs not get distracted and listen to me…] Radiance continued after teasing Khaya. From his Masterʼs impression, Khaya was quiet, cold, and didnʼt really talk unless necessary. He was not expecting to see this side of her.

ʼI am a master with a bow, but I am better in a close combat fight.ʼ Khaya responded after Radianceʼs explanation. Then she subconsciously turned toward her captain. Her captain was having it hard, getting bugged by Commander Edson and Atilla.

[Thatʼs good. I know a few ways to make an ice arrow. Itʼs not just any ice arrow, but the arrow with an after-effect. I learned it from your captain, and he is quite good at it, modifying his arrow into a terrifying weapon.]

Khaya furrowed her brow because it was not that difficult to make an arrow out of elemental power. She could make a mana arrow and a wind arrow, but not something that special.

[You will find out soon, girl. Your way of creating an arrow is stupid!]

Before Khaya could retort, the bell rang as Commander Edsonʼs voice echoed in the air. ”The enemy is moving! Get in your position!”

There was no briefing before this, and Khaya did not know where her position was supposed to be. She subconsciously followed her captain with the others, and her captain stood next to Commander Edson. They walked to the edge of the wall.

Tang Shaoyang took out a longbow. This was the first time she saw the bow, but she did not pay much attention as he took out her bow as well. This was the advantage of defending, they could attack first before the enemy could reach the wall.

She pulled the string a few times, making sure her bow was in good condition and warming up her finger even though the warm-up did not really matter. That was just a habit of hers. Then she heard Commander Edsonʼs angry voice, questioning someone.

”What are you doing!?”

Khaya looked up, and Commander Edson was questioning her captain who pulled his bow with a fire arrow. Except for its black color, she could not sense anything different from the fire arrow. Then she looked at the distance between the army and the wall.

It was still too far for the arrow to be efficient. Shooting from this distance would reduce the power behind the shot and would be easily blocked. For an army marched like this, they should be protected by the magical barrier. She could also reach the enemy, but she was not confident killing them from this distance.

”I am shooting them. We are in a war, are we? Why do we need to wait for them to come to the wall before attacking them?”

Her captain told the commander the obvious.

Radiance snickered in her head, again. [Your arrow will not kill anyone, but his arrow is different! You will find out soon!]

Khaya was tired of arguing with Radiance. She responded short, being sarcastic. ʼLetʼs see how amazing your master is!ʼ

Before Commander Edson could stop Tang Shaoyang, her captain released the fire arrow. Khayaʼs first reaction was that her eyes widened in surprise. The whistle in her ears told him it was an amazing shot. Her eyes immediately followed the black fire arrow and noticed the almost invisible barrier protecting the army of void creatures.

She thought the fire arrow would explode at the barrier, but the fire arrow broke the barrier and went through. The fire arrow shot through toward the troll line and hit one of them in the head. The fire arrow pierced through the helmet and planted into the head. The troll fell backward and fell on another troll.

ʼSo… What is so ama…ʼ Khayaʼs words stopped halfway as the fire exploded.

The black fire exploded, forming a massive pillar of black fire the size of a massive building, swallowing the other trolls in the fire. She expected some trolls would run from the fire pillar, but none of the trolls ran, meaning they died inside the fire.

She tried to think what Tang Shaoyang did with the arrow to create such an effect, but then she noticed another arrow formed in her captainʼs bow. This time the arrow was made of black gas? The arrow was pitch black, releasing the black gas.

Her captain released the arrow to another side. The whistle was so loud that everyone immediately looked toward the noise. The black arrow headed toward the Orc who rode the boar-like creature line. It was similar to the previous one, the arrow went through the barrier and hit one of the orcs on the boar. The Orc fell to the side and the arrow exploded into a black cloud, forming a hundred-meter area covered in the black cloud. The same with the fire, all the Orcs that were inside the cloud never came out again.

Then the third arrow formed, it was an arrow made of black lightning. Khaya noticed that this arrow was bigger than the previous two arrows, triple in size. Then she also noticed the direction he aimed at, the sky.

After the two previous arrows, she did not make any remarks before she saw the effect. The third arrow whistled to the sky. It was faster as it disappeared into the cloud just in a few seconds.

 RUMBLE!

Then she heard a deafening rumble from the sky where the arrow disappeared. Then a hundred black lightning arrows rained down the arme of the void creature like a hundred thunders struck them. That attack killed hundreds if not thousands of void creatures.

However, Those three arrows were just the start as she saw her captain forming the fourth arrow.
