Tang Shaoyang could feel the throbbing pain, the worst he ever felt in his entire life. Far worse compared to when he almost died from a knife back when he was still a thug. Far worse when his wings were torn apart by the Mistovel Family. He looked at his missing head.
The bleeding stopped and he could see the flesh was regenerating in the naked eyes. He was surprised by what happened in the following ten seconds. A new head popped out already, and the pain was gone. However, the pain was still vivid in his head.
[You have killed a God Rank, Lasius!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have reached Level 20091!]
The notification rang in his head, and he looked at the other side where the two giant birds were, looking at their friend. Lasius' body had turned black because of the poison. His skin turned mushy and dark, his eyes completely dark as blood came out of his nose, ear, and mouth. Gungnir and Windra tried to feed their friend an antidote and healing potion, but it clearly did not work.
Unlike him, the two did not receive a notification that their friend was dead. They were still trying to pour more potions and antidotes to save their friends. It was dirty to use this chance to ambush the two who focused on their dead friend. The old Tang Shaoyang would not do that, but not the current Tang Shaoyang. He did not care if it was dirty or even despicable. He was not in the position to think about when his family would die if he failed to kill these God Ranks.
He formed a small crack, but big enough for his hand to enter the crack. Another crack formed behind Gungnir who was fully focused on his dead friend. Tang Shaoyang was about to grab Gungnir, but Windra noticed his dirty trick. The Wind Phoenix pushed away Gungnir and got himself grabbed by Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang grabbed Windra with his two hands and pulled him off through the void. He did not hesitate to use Heavenly Crushing Grasp. The bone-cracking sound resounded as he crushed the frame and also the wing. Even though his body was made of wings, he could feel the frame inside the wind.
Windra coughed up blood, and Tang Shaoyang did not stop there. He would not stop until he heard the notification that he killed Windra. He summoned hundreds of Slayer Blades, the most effective way to kill God Ranks.
Tang Shaoyang released Windra from his grasp as the hundreds of Slayer Blades came after Windra. The helpless Wind God Rank could not do anything as hundreds of Slayer Blades pierced through his body. The notification was instant, right after the twentieth Slayer Blade, the notification rang in Tang Shaoyang's head.
[You have killed a God Rank, Windra!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have reached level 21157!]
"WINDRA!!!!!" Gungnir let out a roar as the dark cloud gathered in the sky. Soon thunder rained down the earth, splitting the ground. His aura got much stronger than before as he witnessed the death of his two friends.
"I WILL KILL YOU!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!"
Gungnir opened his wing and flew above the dark cloud. The lightning raged, forming more thunderbolts that came after Tang Shaoyang. It was then followed by a screech as Gungnir came down from the sky, diving with the raging lightning.
Tang Shaoyang used all his breath, dark flame breath, dark lightning breath, dark poison breath, and the void breath. It formed a weird combination with the void breath at the center, the black hole mixed the three elements into a powerful force.
Gungnir had lost it, and he just went straight into it without thinking. The thought in his head was to kill Tang Shaoyang.
They met in the air and formed a massive explosion, and soon the lightning bird fell from the explosion, crashing to the ground. Gungnir, however, quickly got back again, flying to the sky once more. Tang Shaoyang saw hope, he did not really expect that prioritizing killing one of them would give him a chance to win against the three God Ranks. That never crossed his mind as the only thought in his head at that time was to bring one of them down with him. He ended up killing two of them, and soon he would kill three of them.
The thunderbolt assaulted him from the sky. It was hurt, burning his scale but he just received it, focusing on the next clash against Gungnir. From the first clash, Gungnir clearly lost it, and he needed an attack that could finish Gungnir. But his plan was interrupted by Avyn's voice in his head.
[I am sorry...] The apologetic tone from Avyn threw him off, not expecting to hear her voice in his head. He did not expect that Avyn would lose in her fight this fast. If Avyn lost that meant the dragon rider would soon come for him, someone that was stronger than Avyn or maybe stronger than Windra, Lasius, and Gungnir combined.
"Stupid!" The voice echoed in the air, a female voice. Then a shadow of a dragon appeared above Gungnir, and the dragon slapped Gungnir down with his tail, "How can you lose two people this fast? We should let them stall against that Kankara'Xeo, and we kill the target instead, Eol!" The female voice belonged to the person who rode Eol, "We lost three God Ranks already just to kill one Demi-God Rank. This is ridiculous!"
Gungnir crashed to the ground with a single slap of the tail, and Eol made an appearance. The white dragon appeared more majestic compared to the first time. There was an aura that was different exuded by the white dragon. The one who rode the white dragon also changed, no longer in her white armor as she had transformed into an angel, holding a lance in her right hand, looking down at Tang Shaoyang.
"You should be proud of killing more than three God Ranks already, but this will be your end!" That was a declaration from the angel.
The four heads looked up at the same time, grinning as Tang Shaoyang found it funny, "It's funny that you say the same thing. Someone I know said the same, but he ends up dying." He remembered it was Irnus who said that to him earlier when he fought Irnus in his God Domain. Irnus said he should be proud to force the God Domain and God Ascension. novE(lb)1n
"You should witness how your dragon pitifully struggles against us, but it does not matter. You will experience it yourself right now," The Angel summoned hundreds of light swords, floating around her. The light swords moved toward Tang Shaoyang like an arrow.
Tang Shaoyang did not sense something special within the light swords, but then Avyn warned him, [Don't try blocking the sword.]
His quick reaction was to open the void crack, sending the swords into the void. He trusted Avyn's blindly, and he countered with the breath combination. The white dragon dove down, avoiding the breath as they landed next to Gungnir who just got back up.
"We have to be careful even though he is just Demi-God Rank. It was not lucky that he killed three of us. You have to be more careful, Dinael." The white dragon reminded the angel, "We don't need to kill him in a hurry, your safety is more important than killing him."
Dinael was unhappy with how Eol approached the fight, but she did not talk back. Eol glanced at the lightning phoenix, "I know you are grieving, losing your two brothers. However, blindly attacking him will not get you anywhere, not even bring you closer to your revenge. We have to work together, and we will give you the killing blow."
The slap on his back awakened Gungnir from going on a rampage blindly. He looked up at the white dragon the Dinael, "I don't care if you get the killing blow. It's not like killing him will give us that many levels." The angel shrugged.
While his enemy made their own, Tang Shaoyang also had his plan. Since Avyn died and was forced to return to the Spirit World. He would not be able to summon her again, and she was in a weak state after the kill. But he thought of something that would help him to fight someone who defeated Avyn. He canceled the integration with Zara and used a Spirit Integration with Avyn. That would allow him to summon Zara out, meaning he could get help from a God Rank. On top of that, he also had mastered Void Energy. There was no need for him to integrate with Zara to use Void. And now it had become two against three, but he did not immediately summon Zara. He wanted to keep her as a surprise.
Gungnir made his move, flying to the sky followed by Dinael. Meanwhile, the white dragon approached from the land.
[Eol is a Divine Dragon, and I will say he is on the same level of strength as the Wicked Dragon.] Avyn reminded Tang Shaoyang.
There were so many types of Dragons, and he barely remembered any of them except the one that was close to him. There was an option of Dragon King as well in his bloodline upgrade. The screech from the sky snapped him out of his thoughts, but as he looked up, Eol shot a blast of light out of his mouth. Two attacks from two different directions.
He kept his calm and eyed the third enemy, Dinael. The angel seemed to be prepared for something. Tang Shaoyang used [Blink] and appeared above Dinael. He thought he made the unexpected move where he would attack the angel, but he was wrong about it as the angel looked up at him, smiling, "Got you~"
