Armipotent Chapter 279
Advertisement
Tang Shaoyang watched as the sky was filled with swords and lances, and all of them pointed at him.
Wen flew into the distance to avoid the swords and the lances. However, his eyes never left Tang Shaoyang, waiting. He was waiting for the man to request his help, but the man did not even glance at him. The Jade Eagle saw Tang was staring at the sky.
'This is not the time to admire the sight, you should ask me to bring you out of here instead!' Wen thought to himself. Yeah, the Jade Eagle thought that ran was the best option right now. If the two knights were capable of doing this, then their friends were capable of doing the same too.
Tang Shaoyang took a deep breath and closed his eyes after he cast [Flame Shield] on himself.
"Roar!"
He opened his mouth and a lion-like roar escaped his mouth. After [Flame Shield], he activated [War Cry]. He did not plan to run, he was challenging the opponent.
[War Cry activated, boosting your attributes by sixty percent for ten minutes!]
While [Raged Alteration] increased his Strength specifically, [War Cry] increased all attributes. His Agility and Vitality were the two most important attributes to survive from the [Grand Skyfall].
'Has he gone insane? Should I save him?' Wen was shocked when he saw Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes. A thought to save the man popped in his head, and as he was about to make his move, the swords and the lances started to attack the man. The Jade Eagle could do nothing but watch the whole thing unravel.
Of course, Tang Shaoyang was never planning to suicide. He was focusing on [Spirit Eyes] that could see everything and all directions. As the first batch attack shot toward him, he made his move.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
His movement was minimal but he avoided all swords and lances he could avoid while he used his scythe to reflect the sword and the lance he could not dodge.
'Three to my right side,' he stepped back and all three swords pierced the ground, 'Four to my left, two directly to my body,' Tang Shaoyang took a little step back and swept his scythe to the incoming two lances. He broke the lance energy with his strong sweep.

Of course, a few swords and lances energy would hit him, but his defensive skill protected him from harm. At this moment, he finally realized how [Dispersal] was working. From time to time he would hear such notification in his head.
[[Dispersal] triggered, nulling the attack damage for fifty percent!]
It took five hits for him [Flame Shield] to break. Right after the sphere broke, the flame burst out and shot toward the sky. From this clue, Tang Shaoyang found out his enemy was in the sky.
'It seems I can't do anything to stop the skill unless I can find their exact position or wait for the skill to the end,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself while keeping his feet busy.
If he could find their exact locations, he could throw the [Wild Axes] or do something crazy by jumping toward them.
—How can such a skill exist? This is basically cheating!
Zowen's voice rang amidst the battle, there was resentment from her voice. She was the first victim of [Spirit Eyes], after all. None of her attacks or traps could hit Tang Shaoyang because of the same skill too.
'There is no cheating in the battle of life and death, you use and do everything to survive. The loser can't even have a regret since once you lose, you will also lose your life!' Tang Shaoyang replied to her claim.
The [Grand Skyfall continued for like five minutes before the two energies gathered in one spot. The crimson and light blue light blended and formed a giant and long sword.
The gigantic sword had its step pointing at Tang Shaoyang, and there was a haze of two people at the handle of the gigantic sword. The sword was two times bigger than Templar Knight Henry's [Harmony Judgment].
'Is this the final move or are they trying to kill me with a single move?' Tang Shaoyang opened his eyes and looked toward the gigantic sword while focusing his [Spirit Eyes] on the group of eight.
He was making sure that they did not come to help. But he found out that all eight of them stayed in the shield formed by the two knights earlier.

"Dodging a single sword is much easier…" His eyes then brightened as he realized why the two knights set a shield to protect their friend, "There will be a big explosion for sure,"
Swoosh!
The sword was floating for a couple of seconds before it shot down toward Tang Shaoyang. The instant movement might catch other people off guard, but not Tang Shaoyang.
Instead of running away, Tang Shaoyang took a few steps backward before he rushed and jumped toward with the scythe. He was holding the scythe low, and when he was about to crash against the sword. Tang Shaoyang slashed his scythe upward, the scythe's tip clashed against the giant sword's tip.
As soon as the sword energy and the scythe clashed, the gigantic swords exploded. The explosion engulfed Tang Shaoyang and reached a thousand meters area.
Wen had to fly away to avoid the explosion and as Tang Shaoyang predicted, the shield the two knights cast earlier was to protect the party from the aftermath explosion.
It took some time for the explosion to die down and revealed the aftermath. The ground was burned black, first from Tang Shaoyang's lightning sword and now, two Diamond Rank Adventurers' combined attack.
Soon a figure was revealed at the center of the explosion. The figure was holding a scythe, placing the big weapon on his shoulder.
Wayne and Callop had their eyes widened in shock. Even after being attacked by an ultimate skill, the man did not fall. Tang Shaoyang lost his hair from the explosion, his whole face and head were ruined by burns. The sharp countenance and the maniacal grin were nowhere to be seen.
However, the shock did not stop there. The injuries did not weaken the man as they saw their friends underneath Tang Shaoyang's feet.
Tang Shaoyang could feel the scalding pain all over his body. Each of his movements amplified the pain, but he did not wince under the pain. This was the first time Tang Shaoyang suffered a big injury like this.
"It's time for healing!" He raised his scythe, he was ready to kill the two knights for leveling up.
"STOPPPP!" Callop yelled from afar. His spear was covered in black energy and soon the black energy covered his whole body.
[Phantom Strike]
The black figure left a black streak as he shot toward Tang Shaoyang. But the distance was too far for Callop.
There was no way Tang Shaoyang would listen to his enemy's nonsense. He swung the scythe down and beheaded the two knights.
[You have leveled up!]
[You gained four attribute points!]
[You second class [Slayer] has reached level 85!]
[The fixed attributes have been allocated!]
[You gained four attribute points!]
…
[You second class [Slayer] has reached level 88!]
[The fixed attributes have been allocated!]
[You gained four attribute points!]
Two levels for the main level and four levels for his second class, it was a sweet leveling that he almost whistled in joy.
Not only levels, but his wounds also started to heal by themselves. The burned skin dried up and fell off as a new skin replaced his old skin. It was just like a new fresh start that everything returned to his peak, including his Stamina and Mana.
"This is a cheat, Zowen. The system is a cheat itself, so you should blame the creator of the system, or maybe not. Because the system also gives you a chance to live," Tang Shaoyang teased the female magus spirit despite the incoming attack.
After he finished his words, he took a light step to the right. The black streak passed by, he easily avoided a straight-line attack.
Then he looked down to the two knights' corpses before looking at the Callop who stopped his skill, "Two more down, eight more to go, but we should hunt the lost sheep first," Tang Shaoyang grinned at the Spearmaster who just realized he made a newbie mistake. He separated himself from the party.

My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal...
Ever since meeting his uncle, Arthur has pushed himself daily to achieve an arbitrary goal. He trained like nobody else did, longer than anybody else could. He neglected his personal relationships to pursue something he didn't even understand, in hindsight. When the time came for his class awakening ritual, he was ready. He was ready to receive a powerful starting class and to break free from his boring lifestyle. Well, you know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for, lest your wish be granted." Arthur was assigned the death knight class, which is just barely, technically, maybe legal. With it, he learns about what drove him to such simple minded ambition in the first place: his affinity. Now, he's faced with a dilemma: will he embrace it, or reject it? 'My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal' is a laid back story with occasional tension, that describes Arthur, a young man, exploring the world, the system and his own mental health as he pursues his ambitions. This story is the first serious fiction I ever wrote, so while criticism is definitely welcomed, keep it polite. I'm going to rewrite the first few chapters at some point, since they're not as good as my later ones, but I'm focusing on my current chapters first. I don't have time to do both yet, since I'm also in the middle of my exams. What to expect from this story: -Litrpg elements -A chaotic good aligned protagonist (that starts off as a neutral good protagonist) -(Hopefully) interesting characters. What not to expect from this story: -Grimdark elements -Harem -An enslaved protagonist. (I mention this due to the background of the mc's class) Release schedule: 1 chapter every other day, 2pm European time (14:00) Join the discord here: https://discord.gg/YHZFB4HMHD

Office Days
Follow Captain Monday and the Weekdays team as they fight the good fight against the villainous Weekends. Oh, and file form a33-2 before eoq3. Comes with a dash of The Office and Office Space plus a side of Super Hero satire. Office Days is episodic in nature. So each story is standalone and may vary in length and focus. The Monday Case is the first episode and serves mostly to introduce the characters broadly. Comments get +Rep for effort. This setting was intended to be a comic series but I never found an artist for the job... probably for lack of trying. The "art" is for concept only... it took me far too long to make and it's still all sub-par.
