Armipotent

Chapter 1670  The Third Kingdom (2)

Anne's eyes widened at what she found at the entrance to the territory. More than a hundred bodies were hung on the giant tree. There were five to six bodies on each tree.

The flesh on the body was gone, leaving the skeleton still fresh in blood. The most disturbing part was the head. The calamity left the flesh on the head. The eyes that died in horror, the hair, nose, everything. From the neck to head was intact, and showed their last expression before dying.

Tang Shaoyang stopped and glanced at Ira. The latter nodded her head. It was the same as her prediction, this calamity was smart. They were smart enough to use an intimidation tactic.

Not just to intimidate, but to make them or anyone related to these people angry. When they were enraged, their judgment in the fight also dulled. If they could think this far, then they could come up with a more simple strategy to target the back support first.

Tang Shaoyang looked at Birom and the other team leaders. It was just eye contact, but everyone received the signal. It was ninety percent that the shadow calamity would come to the back line for them.

Anne found her former team captain, Lendar on one of many bodies. His body hung at the highest spot. He died in agony, his last expression told her what he went through before dying. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Her captain never made such an expression when he suffered a heavy injury from a battle. He held the pain and assured his team members he was fine. But in his last moment, he made an agony expression.

That made her angry, her aura flared up, and was about to go to retrieve the body. Lendar did not deserve the humiliation. She could not let that body hang any longer.

Birom stopped her before she could rush to get the body, "No! They are waiting for you to get the body. They are playing with your emotions!"

"Stay still! Don't move unless Tang Shaoyang moves!"

He made sure that no one was recklessly trying to get the body. But there were always people not listening to the command. Two men and one woman rushed forward. They leaped to the tree.

But before they could reach the tree, three blurry figures leaped out from the shadow of the tree. They snatched the three people who tried to get the body down, pulling their heads off.

Splash!

The blood sprayed in the air as the three bodies fell to the ground. Then the head also fell down. No one saw the thing who took off those three heads. It was just a blurry movement.

Watching everything from the start to the end, Anne calmed down, but her heart was beating furiously. She imagined herself as one of those three and died with her head off her body.

This was deja vu, she saw a similar thing before this. It was during the battle against the calamity that they entered their territory. They were in the middle of fighting until they were attacked with continuous ambush. This was way too familiar, her memory was still fresh.

Anne was about to pull Birom, trying to get Birom away from this cursed place. Then she saw someone using bloodline transformation. Someone she had seen fought earlier outside the fort, Tang Shaoyang. He alone with his spirits drove away the calamities surrounding the fort.

Tang Shaoyang did not rush just the previous three. He walked slowly toward the tree until he was right below one of the trees with bodies. No one ambushed him even though he stood right above the shadow.

He stood there, doing nothing. As if he was challenging the shadow calamity. He was obviously provoking the calamity.

Three blurry figures came out from Tang Shaoyang's shadow, trying to catch him from behind. Before those three blurry figures could touch Tang Shaoyang. Another three shadow creatures came out, pulling back those three blurry figures.

Everyone finally got to see a glimpse of who ambushed the three people earlier. It was a black tiger with a giant tusk in its mouth. Everything was black, the eyes and fur. The creature is ten meters long.

The three calamities roared in panic as something pulled them back into the shadow. The three tigers tried to get away from the shadow but to no avail. Their roar faded as their bodies completely disappeared into the shadow.

"Get ready to fight and be careful of the ambush!"

Birom made a call for the rest of the team.

"He could save them!?" Anne made an issue about the three people who got killed earlier. He in her mouth was of course Tang Shaoyang.

"He could save them, but why did he not save them!? How are you following someone like him, Sir Birom!"

With how easily Tang Shaoyang took care of the three shadow calamities, he should be able to save the three people. The fact he did not save them infuriated her. Why are people with power like him always heartless? Why couldn't people like Lendar or Birom have that kind of power? Such power would be much more useful in a better hand than the heartless Tang Shaoyang.

Birom let out a sigh, shaking his head. He understood that she was grieving, but it did not mean she could act like this. He thought she would have matured along with the experiences of the past missions.

'It looks like Lendar also spoiled her.'

It was not that he did not understand why Lendar spoiled. Anne was so pure for someone who reached the God Rank. Despite the cruelty they faced from many missions, she retained her pure view of the world. That was good in a way, but also bad at the same time.

The ground was shaking. Their attention was split to the source of the tremor. The horde of calamity rushed out from the grove area. The sea of calamities ran through. The flying calamity followed from above, and some calamities jumped between the trees as well.

The kingdom was coming for them, and Tang Shaoyang summoned his spirits. The battle against the third kingdom started.
