《Armipotent 》Chapter 256: Hunting's Time - Part 2
Advertisement
After killing the ten Adventurers, he started to take off their equipment and saved them into his inventory.
"Alright, one group is down," Tang Shaoyang licked his lips. He then started to scan the surroundings through [Spirit Eyes]. The closest group was approaching him from the southwest, "Found the next target!"
[Lightning Flash]
His figure flashed toward the group who moved sneakily, thinking Tang Shaoyang was not aware of their position. It was the same as what happened to the beforehand group, Tang Shaoyang's sudden appearance caught them off guard. However, the second group was more prepared than the first group.
The male Cleric who stood at the backline activated a barrier to protect the party from the incoming [Chain Lightning]. But the barrier was not enough to protect them as it disintegrated the moment the lightning hit the barrier.
"More experienced adventurers, huh!?" He grinned as he raised his hand. At the same time, [Lightning Cage] rose and confined the nine adventurers.
The mage in the party tried to break the cage with her magic. She cast [Wind Blade], but the sturdy cage could not be broken by her magic. She tried to cast all available spells she had but it was futile. The Lightning Cage stood still under the barrage of the magic attack.
Tang Shaoyang grinned as he extended his two arms toward the group. He cast [Lightning Bolt] and rained down them with his skill. [Lightning Bolt] was less powerful compared to [Thunder Wrath], but he could cast the skill continuously without worrying about spending his mana.
The Mage, Shield Bearer, and the Cleric tried their best to cast the defensive skill. They kept regenerating the shield to protect them from the [Lightning Bolt]. The mage gritted her teeth and stopped casting the barrier. She pointed the staff toward Tang Shaoyang.
[Earth Spike]
The land around Tang Shaoyang rose, forming pointy spikes and shooting toward him. The mage tried to interrupt Tang Shaoyang, but her effort was futile. Before the spikes could reach him, his body was suddenly covered in lightning.
Tang Shaoyang used [Advanced Lightning Creation] to form Lightning Cloak. The moment the spikes hit the lightning cloak, it crumbled. The [Earth Spike] failed to break the lightning cloak.

With the mage focused to attack Tang Shaoyang, the barrier started to falter, "Have mercy!" But Tang Shaoyang just ignored the pleading as the [Lightning Bolt] destroyed their defense.
After continuously attacking the group with the [Lightning Bolt], five out of nine adventurers died, four warriors were the ones who survived through the barrage of the [Lightning Bolt].
He canceled the [Lightning Cage] and approached the dying warriors. The four warriors' bodies were twitching on the ground, he then beheaded them with the lightning sword. After he killed the ninth adventurer, yet another sweet notification rang in his head.
[You have leveled up]
[You gained 2 attribute points!]
[Second Class [Slayer] has reached Level 63]
[The fixed attributes have been allocated!]
[You gained four attribute points!]
"Killing the adventurers and the knights gives more levels than hunting the beasts," he muttered while scanning the nine dead bodies. Because of his continuous attack, their armors were in a half-broken state. He could not take the armor with him.
"Alright, let's find the next target."
Meanwhile, Aren watched the whole fight from a distance. He did not try to sneak attack while the target fought the other parties. He did not want to make his move until he was sure that his party could take the opponent down.
His hand never left from the Magnifying Glass as he followed Tang Shaoyang's trail. He then noticed Tang was moving further toward the west, "Where is he going?"
"He is moving to the Emerald Rank Party who hides in the west!" Coral responded, "But this is weird, they have a magical tool to erase their presence. A skill similar to [Mana Sensing] should not work. How can he find their location?"
"Indeed, without Coral's [Greater Sight], I can't sense them with my [Mana Sensing]," Karen nodded his head.
"I have done the second check, I can't find any other people besides the other parties who try to capture him. He is alone without a helper!" Dan followed up with his report.
Aren's gripped the Magnifying Glass tightly, the more he watched the fight, the more uneasy he became, "Let's see how Lurkan's party handle him, we will move accordingly and we may abort the quest too if I deem that man is stronger than all of us!" He was not that stupid to let greed took over his judgment. He needed to be alive to enjoy the reward, after all.

Lurkan was the leader of the Emerald Rank Party where Tang headed to. He would make his decision after he watched them fight. Once again, the target caught the party off guard by suddenly appearing in front of them.
However, different from the beforehand parties, Lurkan and his seven friends reacted well. The cleric cast the skill to support the frontline while she retreated. The two archers also immediately made their distance while firing the arrows.
The male mage used [Blink] to get to the safe distance. The party immediately spread out so they won't get trapped in the Lightning Cage. Lurkan was a Battle Berserker and his three party members, two Protectors, and Great Swordsman stayed in their position.
Just when Aren thought Lurkan and his friends would give resistance to the man, his judgment was proved wrong by how Tang handled the situation. While the other four party members spread, the four frontlines stayed close to each other.
Lightning Cage rose, confining Larkan and his three friends while Tang vanished from the sight, leaving the lightning trail. They were underestimating the man's flash movement.
While the four frontlines were caged in the Lightning Cage, Aren saw the lightning trail was accelerating toward where the female cleric escaped. Larkan and his friends tried to break the cage desperately while the two archers and the mage tried to slow Tang Shaoyang down.
However, Aren saw Tang was straight ignoring the arrows and the magic. The man received the attack with his body as he caught the weak cleric. Tang caught the cleric in the neck and broke her neck. Just like that, the man easily killed the cleric.
As for what happened next was a one-side brutal chasing game. After the mage died in the same fashion as the female cleric, the two archers lost their will to fight. They turned around and tried to escape from the devil.
Alas, Tang Shaoyang easily caught one with his [Thunder Wrath] and killed the last archer with a slash through the neck with his lightning sword. By this time, Larkan and his friends managed to break the Lightning Cage, but that was too late. The party's strength was halved with the death of four party members.
It seemed Tang was not enough to surprise him with his strength. The Lightning Mage showed his prowess in close combat against Larkan and his friends. The mage but was also good in close combat, the thought of it terrified Aren.
"Let's abort the quest, we can't win against that monster. From my analysis, that monster has a unique class just like Selena," Selena in Aren's mouth was their healer.
Just as Aren and his friends were about to retreat, a shout resounded in the forest, "My friends, let's set aside our ego and face this fiend together! We can't let him alive after he brutally killed our fellow adventurers even after pleading for mercy. Together, we will eradicate this fiend!"
Aren looked to the voice, Light Bringer. It was an Emerald Rank Party with three of its members being Emerald Rank Adventurers. They were quite famous in Waskin City.
The one who shouted just now was Light Bringer's leader, Evan. If Aren had to compare, his Quora Party was weaker even though they had three Emerald Rank Adventurers too. That was because Evan was one with the Unique Class, Vanguard.
Vanguard was similar to a knight, but the class had a good balance between the offense and defense. Templar Knight was the famous class with his offensive skill set while the Royal Knight was famous for their defensive skill set. Vanguard was a knight with the balance of the offensive and defensive.
Sure enough, after Evan's shout, the remaining ten Platinum Rank Party and the other Emerald Rank Party answered his call. They came out of their hiding spot and surrounded Tang Shaoyang.
"Maybe we still have our chance," Aren muttered.

Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out!
