Chapter 1530: Spirit Advancement 2
Tang Shaoyang watched his spirits go on a rampage in the ruin. The Rank 6 Calamity was not that big a problem for them. Even the Grade SSS Spirit who he rarely summoned during the trial also joined the fight. They worked together to fight one Rank 6 Calamity.
The difference between the Archaic Spirit and Grade SSS Spirit was just too big. It was obvious when they were summoned altogether to fight the same thing. Afi destroyed the spider in less than a minute. Meanwhile, it took ten to fifteen minutes for eight Grade SSS Spirits to kill one spider.
Not just his spirits, but his Skelly Clan also joined the fight this time. He summoned them, but just the main member, not the whole army. The eleven Skelly Family's main members fought together and to his surprise, his skeleton was doing better than his Grade SSS Spirits.
It did not mean the Grade SSS Spirit was weaker. The teamwork for the Skelly Family was flawless. And of course, Kaiser with his dragon bloodline was the main character in the team. He became the core, and the others' skellies adjusted Kaiser's movement.
"What if I use Calamity to upgrade them? Will it affect their evolution?" The thought of using calamity for his skeleton crossed.
He never thought about it since he was trading the materials for the equipment. But he had gotten the things he wanted and extras. He now kept the corpses in his inventory.
Not just that, he prepared the calamity to advance his current spirit. He did not plan to summon more spirits with what he had. He thought of using the materials to make them stronger instead. Since he had a skeleton army, he did not need another army.
As he was deep in his thoughts, a shriek disturbed them. The voice came from the center of the city. Through Chaos Eyes, he saw a fifty-meter spider come out from the hole. It was followed by another eleven of thirty-meter spiders.
The fifty meters was the Rank 8 Calamity, and the other eleven were the Rank 7 Calamity. The ten-meter Rank 6 Calamity looked small compared to them. He had not said anything, but all Archaic Spirits ignored the Rank 6 Calamity in front of them and rushed to the center.
The six Archaic Spirits were fighting over who would fight the Rank 8 Calamity. At the same time, their voices rang in Tang Shaoyang's head.
"You are not allowed to participate!!"
Even Zara, who was not crazy about fighting, also joined. It started from Doombringer, then to Afi, then Avyn and Vandir. Now Baccara and Zara are also infected by them.
Of course, he would not listen to what they said. He also wanted to know how strong the Rank 8 Calamity was. That was for sure not because he was the same as them. He wanted the data for future hunting.
Tang Shaoyang was about to follow them until he noticed a group of four outside the ruin. A party was approaching the gate. He furrowed his brows as he found two familiar faces among them, Clement Salle and Agnes. The same elf in Timo's party.
He let out a sigh of regret and went to the city wall. The party was still in the distance, approaching the ruin cautiously. As they got closer to the wall, he revealed himself.
"This is my hunting place. Please leave!"
The moment he said that he remembered something. It was his issue with The Sorc Clan. He was in the same situation, but he was in a different position. But of course, he had a different reason to keep them away. Not because he wanted to take everything for himself, but because he did not want them to see his spirits and skeletons
'And I use "please", I am more polite than those bears.'
Clement Salle stopped his members and looked up with a frown. He felt the voice was familiar but he did not remember the face. It was until he heard Agnes.
"Tang Shaoyang! He is Tang Shaoyang! We should leave!"
Clement Salle finally remembered the man he met on the first day. Although, the man was totally different than the first time. He saw the aura he failed to notice that day.
"I think he is reasonable to talk with," He waved at Agnes and looked up at Tang Shaoyang, "Don't you think it's unreasonable to claim a hunting ground for yourselves? Don't worry! We are here not to steal your prey. We come to hunt as well."
After he said that, Clement felt something was wrong with his words. Tang Shaoyang was known as a solo participant, and it was obvious with the point. But there was something weird here. The man was in front of them, but he still heard the fighting noise from inside the ruin.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "It's unreasonable, but I still can't let any of you enter the ruin."
"What if we force our way!" The baldy from Clement Salle's party spoke defiantly. He did not like how overbearing Tang Shaoyang was. It did not matter if the man in front of me was in the first place. There were four of them, and Tang Shaoyang was alone. In fact, this was their chance to take the point.
"You can try because I will also try to stop you."
Clement Salle stopped his friend and whispered, "There are still people inside. He is not alone."
That reminder just made the other realize that there were people fighting inside the ruin. That meant Tang Shaoyang was not alone. But it did not make sense considering Tang Shaoyang was a solo participant.
"Is he hiring people to hunt for him? Is that how he maintains the first place?" The baldy could not help but think so.
Clement Salle let out a sigh of regret. He knew this ruin and the thing inside, but he did not dare to enter until he heard the sound of fighting inside the ruin. He thought of taking the chance to sneak in and take advantage of the party that came first. The spider would be pulled into the first party, and he thought of stealing a few or maybe a dozen spiders.
"We will leave!"
As the leader, he made up his mind and made the decision for his party. He did not think that four of them could beat Tang Shaoyang or maybe the people behind who killed the two Admin Helpers. Regardless, they were not in a position to challenge Tang Shaoyang.
Agnes readily agreed to leave the ruin as soon as she saw Tang Shaoyang. Although the other two were reluctant to leave, but they followed Clement Salle's decision. As they got further from the ruin, the ground shook crazily. It was followed by an explosion that came from the ruin.
They were not that far from the ruin. They could still see the city wall, and they saw a massive tower of ice formed. The ice was so tall that they could see it from afar, and they saw the thing inside the ice. With the sun, they could see through what was inside the ice. A fifty-meter spider, the Rank 8 Calamity inside the ruin, and the reason why they had been avoiding the ruin even though there were many Rank 6 Calamity.
Looking at the giant spider, he was relieved that he had made a great decision. He avoided a fight against a group who tried to kill the Rank 8 Calamity, "Let's not get on his bad side from now on."
*** ***
Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard as the ice rose to the sky. He immediately made his run because he wanted to fight it even for a moment. As he arrived, he heard the notification in his head. The Rank 8 Calamity was dead, killed by his Archaic Spirit.
Avyn was still in her transformation, making a satisfied smile as she looked at the thing inside the ice. The other eleven Rank 7 Calamity also had been taken care of. Tang Shaoyang was left with just the remains.
Seeing the result of how his spirit could take care of such a high Rank 8 Calamity, he was convinced to use the materials to advance his Grade SSS Spirit. Even though there were still more than a hundred Rank 6 Calamity, he was not in the mood to fight them.
Tang Shaoyang checked his spirits, one of the hardest parts, choosing which spirit to upgrade.
