Chapter 1533: City Defense 1

Amos had not made any move even though The Vigamaur Dgaror's participants were wiped out. But Tang Shaoyang did not believe that Amos would overlook that matter. Even without hunting those people, Amos wanted to kill Tang Shaoyang just because of the bloodline. So Amos must be preparing a bigger scheme to kill him.

Tang Shaoyang predicted Amos would make a move during the city defense. The Administrator must be scheming something during the city defense. That was what Tang Shaoyang believed.

"Since he has prepared a big party for us. We have to prepare something for him," With the value of these calamities for advancement, Tang Shaoyang wanted to hunt them all to advance all his spirits. He wanted all of the Grade SSS Spirits and Grade SS Spirits to be at Ascendant Spirit.

The Trial of God was six weeks after the new announcement. As of today, twenty-five days have passed, three weeks and four days. That meant there was another two weeks and three days until the first stage was over. During that time, Amos must make his move to trigger the city defense.

Tang Shaoyang did not know when Amos would trigger it, but he would use his time to advance his spirits for that day as well. That was his preparation for Amos. With that in mind, Tang Shaoyang did not return to the city. His target would be Rank 8 Calamity and above, the materials with value for his spirits.

His spirits were excited after hearing his plan. That was what they wanted after their first encounter with a high-ranking calamity at that night.

*** ***

The first five days Tang Shaoyang did not return to the city. A rumor circulated in the city that Tang Shaoyang was avoiding Amos. The news that the Vigamaur Dgaror's members were killed by Tang Shaoyang already spread out.

There was also a rumor that Tang Shaoyang was avoiding the Holsman brothers' backing. The moment those three names disappeared from the ranking list, Tang Shaoyang's point was shot further up. People already knew that Tang Shaoyang killed them.

*** ***

Ten days passed, and no one had seen Tang Shaoyang in those ten days. However, everyone knew that Tang Shaoyang was still alive. The name was still on the ranking list. The gap between the first rank and the second rank widened further. With the remaining time for the stage trial, people believed Tang Shaoyang would take the first place for stage one.

The first stage trial would end in two days. Unless Ian Carmen Lorentia killed several Administrators, then there was no chance for him to overtake Tang Shaoyang. The second method would be killing Tang Shaoyang. Whoever killed Tang Shaoyang, they would take the first.

Several parties made a search for Tang Shaoyang as they intended to take Tang Shaoyang's point. But with no clue, no one found the man. Without a clue, no one could find Tang Shaoyang in this vast abandoned world.

*** ***

In another area of the abandoned world, Tang Shaoyang lay down on the stone, enjoying the morning sun. He was relaxing at the beach. That was right, right in front of him, the blue sea stretched out.

After his hunting in the ruin, Tang Shaoyang just went straight further and further. The further he went from the city, he encountered the stronger calamities. Not just high-ranking calamity, he also found an area with various of Rank 1 and Rank 2 Calamity. A certain area would be filled with the weaker calamity, and another area occupied by the high-ranking calamity. The beach in front of him was also an area occupied by the high-ranking calamity.

He also witnessed the weird behaviors from the calamity. In the last seven days, he encountered many calamities moving together in the city direction. They were forming a horde and ran together even though they were from different species. As if they were being controlled by an individual.

Tang Shaoyang guessed it was Amos' doing. The Administrator would trigger the city defense. Even so, he did not plan to return with how far he had ventured. What would happen if the city defense was triggered and he was not in the city? He had recalled all the spirits he left in the city. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to because of the advancement. During the advancement, the spirit must stay in the Spirit World.

He also did not care what would happen to the city defense because his focus was to hunt the high-ranking calamity right now. He somehow had forgotten about Amos for a while until that weird encounter. As he kept going, he arrived at this beach three days ago.

The beach looked calm on the surface with small waves washing the shore. However, below the calm surface, the beach was occupied by the Rank 9 Calamity. Tang Shaoyang called them Sea Dragon because of their similarity with the dragon, but they had no wings.

'When are we going to start?' Avyn asked Tang Shaoyang.

During the night, the Sea Dragon would go to the ocean for their meal. And they would return to the beach in the morning. That was what Tang Shaoyang found after observing them with Chaos Eyes for three days.

Through Chaos Eyes, Tang Shaoyang saw everything that the beach was filled with the massive dragons. It was not an exaggeration to say the beach was made of sea dragons. There was so little gap between the creatures, overlapping each other. The blue scales disguised them under the water. Those monsters could not be seen from the shore, but a change of view from the top would reveal the danger of the beach.

"There are a few hundred of them. Are you sure you're going to fight them altogether?"

That was his spirit's plan or more like no plan at all. Just running through those monsters. That was what they had been doing, even his skeleton was also infected with the same issue. Kaiser had been asking to go out a lot to fight the calamity just like the other spirits.

In the end, it was not just about his spirits, but also his skeleton army. Whatever the skeleton killed. Those calamities were used to upgrade them also their skeleton army. Not just that, all Grade SSS Spirit and Grade SS Spirit had advanced to Ascendant Spirit about a week ago. His goal right now was to advance them all to Archaic Spirits. That was why he had been looking for Rank 8 Calamity and above.

"If that's what you want," Tang Shaoyang shrugged as he took a sip of his coffee. He was thankful that he had asked for Oby's coffee for stock as well as the Scorching Beer. The two had been his friends when he was relaxing.

All spirits and also the skeleton army were summoned. That was right, he used the army to fight the Rank 9 Calamity Sea Dragon. One thousand skeleton army summoned, lining up in order with the eleven main members in the front. His thirty-one spirits were standing to his left, Kaiser and Avyn exchanged glances.

After more than a week, the rivalry between the skeleton and the spirits formed. They often competed to see who killed more calamities in a certain area. Of course, the skeleton never won as overall, his spirits were much stronger. The rivalry grew further because of one spirit, the mischievous Radiance.

It started because Radiance mocked the skeleton. Most of the time, he did it to the skeletons who could not speak, which was all of them except for their leader, Kaiser. Kaiser was the only one who could speak after obtaining the Ruby Dragon Bloodline. Radiance found it funny to mock the skeleton and could not speak but understand him. It started as a joke, and it grew as a rivalry between the two.

"Leave me one Sea Dragon alive. I have an experiment that I want to test out with them."

As he said those, the two sides started the fight. Once more, the spirits had more advantages even though they were not an army. Almost all spirits jumped onto the beach, but the skeleton had to lure out their prey closer to the shore.

The fight started and that was the end of his relaxing session. With the explosion, the roar, and a wave that reached toward where he was. This was what he had been doing in the last fifteen days, watching his skeletons and spirits fight the calamity.

Someone he would join them, but most of the time, he watched them. Noticing the Sea Dragon might be tougher than the Rank 9 Calamity they had encountered so far. Tang Shaoyang used his Dragon Transformation. That would lift some restrictions on his spirits. Of course, he immediately received a lot of complaints from the skeleton side of his head. They spoke directly to his head, telling him it was unfair and son. That was what gave him a headache, hundreds of voices in his head almost at the same time.

Of course, it did not mean he was doing nothing. Tang Shaoyang kept a watch on the whole situation. The Unique Rank Calamity, that was what he watched in case there was one in the horde of Sea Dragons. In his fifteen-day adventure, he never encountered a Unique Rank Calamity. There might be one in a calamity colony, and he hoped there was one.

From what he heard, the Unique Rank Calamity was stronger than an Administrator. He wanted to try to fight at least one unique rank. That would give him a picture of how strong the Administrator was and also to find his limit. He wanted to know his limit so he would not do things recklessly and knew when he should retreat and fight. Alas, he had not found that limit.

Even if he did not fight, his spirits would take care of things for him. Just in two hours, his spirits and skeleton finished a colony of Sea Dragons. Of course, once more, the spirits came up on top.

Tang Shaoyang was glad that his skeleton could accept their defeat. They did not make excuses or anything. They accepted the defeat, and both sides brought the breathing Sea Dragon for him.

"What do you want to do with them?" Vandir was curious because Tang Shaoyang was never interested in doing experiments like this.

"Oh, I want to try a skill on them. I got this skill a long time ago, but I never used it. So I want to try it right now. If something goes wrong, then I will leave them in this abandoned world."

"What skill?" Vandir was curious. The said skill sounded dangerous.

"Demonification. What will happen if I use the skill? I know it will turn into a demon, but will it obey my order? Or maybe they will go crazy. Because I don't know, I never use the skill."

Tang Shaoyang walked to one of the Sea Dragons, standing in front of it. Then he used the skill, [Demonification].
