Armipotent

Chapter 1661  Azure Dragon Descent 1

Birom signaled to the other teams to start the attack when the roots came up from the ground and summoned more Dryad Calamities. The battle began outside the wall, and he focused the fight here. He and his core team were in the front.

The Dryad Calamity was also good in its elemental magic. The difference was the elemental they mastered. The calamity was good at their dark fire, applying the fire in their attack.

The tree calamity spawned the dryad non-stop as if the tree could spawn them with no limit. Birom focused on the outside, afraid that the other teams might get overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the highest rank was Rank 8 Dryad Calamity. There was only one Rank 8 in three hundred Rank 7. The calamity horde was dominated by Rank 6 and Rank 7.

That was when he realized that the calamity outside was not as dangerous as he thought. The other teams should be able to handle them without him and his core team.

Birom looked toward the city wall. He saw the void gate and how Tang Shaoyang cut the roots. He was surprised by the move. Tang Shaoyang was no longer on the wall.

'Is he inside?'

He could not find Tang Shaoyang anywhere. However, he felt the strong aura from inside, mixed with the calamity tree's aura. The two overwhelmed auras clashed which made it hard to identify whether one of them was Tang Shaoyang's.

"Get ready to break through and enter the ruin!"

Birom signaled his team to advance forward. Despite being overwhelmed by numbers, he and his team did not struggle at all. They killed every calamity with a few moves.

"Go!"

When he said go, he thrust his spear forward. A big spiral formed around his spear, tearing apart the calamities in front of him. He made a path for his team, and his team members followed.

"Our mission is to make sure Tang Shaoyang doesn't die. His safety is a top priority!"

Birom sent his commander for his team. If things were getting too dangerous, then they better retreat while getting Tang Shaoyang to safety. Tang Shaoyang's relationship with Executive Arion was what prompted him to make such a decision.

Halfway to the wall, they sensed the ground shake got fiercer and fiercer. His team members exchanged glances, and Birom focused on making a path for his team.

They managed to go through a thick wall of calamities and jumped to the wall once more. The first thing they did was to look for Tang Shaoyang.

It was not hard to find Tang Shaoyang. They found him near the calamity tree's trunk, alone. The transparent tortoiseshell blocked all the roots and branches from above.

Blow the shell, they saw Tang Shaoyang fight a higher rank Dryad Calamity. The Dryad Calamity flooded Tang Shaoyang with their spells, but those spells were blocked by that shell. Those spells could not destroy the shell.

Birom took a deep breath as he watched the fight. Those calamities could not land a single hit on Tang Shaoyang. The roots and branches were split apart by a single attack. The dark fire spread out, reaching the tree's main trunk.

A question appeared in his mind, 'Could I do the same if we were in the same situation?'

He shook his head, unsure of the answer. Then he noticed the Dryad Calamities were running toward Tang Shaoyang, all of them. Even the calamities outside the ruin. That proved the calamity tree was in trouble.

"We must stop them to get to Tang Shaoyang!"

Birom had a change of mindset now. Instead of fighting together, side by side. He chose to support Tang Shaoyang who fought in the frontline by himself.

Despite the distance, he could see the wide grin on Tang Shaoyang's face. Tang Shaoyang was enjoying the fight, not getting pressured by the calamity tree, at all. That was why he decided to support instead of helping Tang Shaoyang.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang's attention was on his enemies, just the tree and its soldiers. He enjoyed the moment. Each swing that landed on his enemy gave him satisfaction. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was on his own, like a dream until someone ruined his dream.

[OI! OI! OI! Summon me too! I want to try my best!]

Vandir yelled loudly in his head. Not just the skeleton, Doombringer, Karan, and Afi also screamed in his head.

Tang Shaoyang woke up from his dream. He realized he was alone, his spirits were not with him from the start. In his mind, his spirit was fighting with him. That was what he always did.

He laughed and summoned all his spirits except for Zara who was in Spirit Integration with him. Then he summoned The Skelly Family as well to make it fair between his skeleton and spirits. Once they were out, he felt the difference.

There was so much less pressure from the calamity tree, and the battle was turned into a very easy mode. It was a normal difficulty before he summoned spirits and skeletons.

The roots and branches split the focus to the spirits and skeletons. The calamity tree was getting overwhelmed by his summons.

Tang Shaoyang was a bit disappointed as he stored his World Destroyer back in the inventory. He kept the Azure Blade Dragon because he needed it to kill the tree.

Tang Shaoyang walked forward, approaching the calamity tree. He was surrounded by Chaos Blades, killing and destroying the roots and Dryad Calamity that came for him. The Skelly Family took care of the mage, resulting in much fewer spell attacks on him.

He effortlessly reached the calamity tree's trunk. The wound from Heaven Severing World was not healing. The black blood still flowed from the wound.

"This is it?"

He muttered in disappointment. The previous king from the previous calamity kingdom was stronger than this one. Except this one seemed to spawn the Dryad Calamities non-stop. An unlimited army against mental-oriented attack, had its pros and cons, circumstantial ability that had an advantage in a certain circumstance.

The calamity tree seemed to notice Tang Shaoyang who was so close to the trunk. It tried to direct all its roots and branches at Tang Shaoyang. However, it was futile because his spirits stopped the attempt.

"There is a skill I haven't tried. Let's see if it's enough to kill you in one strike!"
