Chapter 622 - Against Alton - Part 2
Fwoosh!
Alton\'s figure blurred into a crimson streak and appeared right before Tang Shaoyang. The old knight did not use any skill, and he merely hacked his sword down toward Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang crossed his battle-ax and received the sword attack.
.
Swoosh!
As soon as the sword touched his battle-ax, the flame sword produced a blazing flame that swallowed Tang Shaoyang. As the flame swallowed Tang Shaoyang as a whole, it exploded.
Boom!
Alton did not stop there, and he could tell that the young man was still standing right in front of him from his sword. His body turned around in the air and launched a spinning kick toward Tang Shaoyang\'s chest.
Boom!
The flame exploded again as a figure flew backward from the explosion. Tang Shaoyang was flung into the air as his body crashed into trees, and he stabilized himself in the air with [Sky Walk]. He recovered his footing and looked at the blazing figure in surprise.
The first sword attack breaks his first two outer defenses, [Flame Shield] and [Mana Shroud]. The kick was unexpectedly strong as blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood with his thumb. Even though he was in a disadvantageous position, the broad grin was still on his expression.
Alton\'s attack only made him excited even more for the battle. He glanced at Zaneos and Bronson, who were still fighting Allan. The old knight was getting pushed back by their combination attack.
\'I think I need your power here, Zaneos. I am sorry, but I have to recall you back for the integration.\' Tang Shaoyang spoke to Zaneos through [Spirit Link].
From that short exchange, he could tell what he was lacking; it was the technique. While he was good at fighting, it was just a brawl of strength and instinct. He did not have an essential discipline like Zaneos, who chose the path of the sword, or like Alton, who had been trained to be a knight. In this case, Zowen also did not have the basics of fighting in close combat.
\'There\'s no need for you to be sorry, My Lord. This is my duty.\' After saying that, Tang Shaoyang recalled Zaneos to his Spiritual Space and canceled the integration with Zowen. \'Thank you for your help, Zowen.\'
After he canceled the integration, he immediately used the skill again. The lighting strips on his outer scale disappeared as two small black horns appeared below his dragon\'s horn, and there was no particular change on him aside from those two small horns.
"Then let\'s match our attribute with Legend Rank knight." After the integration with Zaneos, he cast more skills, [Enhanced Strength] and [Raged Alteration].
[Enhanced Strength] boosted his Strength by 10-Star while [Raged Alteration] increased all his attributes for 5-Star. He did not stop there as he cast his new skill, and this was a new skill he never tried in actual battle, even when he was fighting the Green Sky Serpent, [Infernal Wrath].
[Infernal Wrath] doubled all his attributes, but it consumed his stamina. With all buff he had, Tang Shaoyang checked his current attributes.
Strength: Myth (40-Star)
Agility: Primordial (5-Star)
Vitality: Ancient (85-Star)
Stamina: Ancient (100-Star)
Magic Power: Myth (15-Star)
That was his current attributes without using [Attribute Shift]. The previous attribute shift got canceled. He could still modify his attribute, but Zaneos said something before he could use his skill.
—My Sword Technique based on speed, My Lord. I think you don\'t need to modify the attribute. This is the right composition.
Alton observed the man in front of him intensely. Even though he did now what it was, he felt that the man in front of him had changed. \'What is this random feeling? Is he really a demon? That does not matter. I have to kill him before he unites with his force to fight me.\'
All this time, he observed the angel\'s movement as well. He was cautious that the angel would launch a sneak attack on him, but he realized that the young man was so prideful that he did not want to receive help from his subordinate. This was a golden chance for him to kill the young man before the others intervened.
Swoosh!
Alton rushed toward Tang Shaoyang again. This time, seven flame swords formed around him. As soon as he arrived in front of Tang Shaoyang, the seven flame swords surrounded Tang Shaoyang from all sides. Alton cut all paths so Tang Shaoyang could not retreat.
However, he read it wrong. Tang Shaoyang never thought of backing down. He raised his battle-ax, and the spaces around cracked. At the same time, the same battle-ax came out of the cracked spaces. He used seven flame swords, but Tang Shaoyang had twenty-one battle-axes.
Alton\'s figure dissolved in flame as the battle-ax passed through his body. He avoided the battle-ax, but Tang Shaoyang received all the seven flame swords with his defense.
[Dispersal Triggered! You have blocked 70% of the attack!]
Dispersal was his passive defense skill. Thanks to this, the flame swords failed to break his [Mana Shroud]. However, Tang Shaoyang\'s figure was on fire, yet the fire did nothing to him.
"What was that?" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. "If he keeps doing that, I can\'t hit him. But wait, if I can\'t hit him, that means he can\'t hit me too."
Alton furrowed his brows as his gaze became even more intense. His kick managed to injure the young man, but the seven swords could not even leave a scratch on the young man. Things were getting more bizarre.
Alton took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second. "I have to use that."
