《Armipotent 》Chapter 616: Crossing The Line
Advertisement
Tang Shaoyang watched from the sideline as he promised. He did not expect this variable when he had to face two Legend Rank. Ashley told him that Vice Commander Allan had reached Legend Rank. Of course, that was just a rumor, but people believed Allan had reached Legend Rank.
"But what is he doing here? I thought he was guarding the Warmir's Border." Ashley was surprised by Allan's appearance in Gigante Forest. "If The Lionax Kingdom knows that General Allan is not guarding the border, they may send a full force to face the Revolution Army. This might be bad for us."
Ashley had a point there. If The Lionax Kingdom sent reinforcements to fight the Revolution Army, they would break the stalemate situation, and the Revolution Army would lose if that happened.
Tang Shaoyang kept hearing the banter that did not go anywhere, and he started to get impatient after hearing Ashley's analysis of the battlefield.
"General Allan seems to bring his knights with him as well. Warmir's border is weak now. This is truly bad for us." Ashley muttered in a low voice after noticing the knights on the Beast Coven's side.
Aki did not understand what Lady Ashley said, but from the situation, he could guess the Great Lord was becoming impatient after hearing what Lady Ashley said. That meant it was a signal for them to get ready. The rat beastmen slowly retreated to Lauri's side and told Lauri to get the army prepared for battle.
Ashley was in charge of the knights, but Aki and Lauri were in charge of the beast and the beastment forces.
"Rosalie! Crystal! I don't have time to hear your useless banters. If you want to have a conversation, do it later!" Tang Shaoyang's impatient voice rang.

Rosalie knew that they had wasted time too long. If she could not convince Alton in a short time, the battle would break out between the two sides. "Alton! Allan! Listen to me! I apologize that you have to suffer like this because of me, but trust me, I am real. I am Queen Rosalie the Flame Queen."
She raised her hand, and a big fireball formed in the air. "You should be able to feel the heat from my fireball, right? That means I am not an illusion." She then shook her head. "That's not my point. I hope you two can follow My Master. I don't want you to fight against him, and I don't want you two die after what you have gone through." Queen Rosalie was shaking her head as she said in a saddened tone.
She was genuinely saddened that these loyal knights had to suffer because of her. She did not mind if the knights she raised did not avenge her. That was not her purpose of forming a legion through the kids from the street with no family. She just wanted to give them a future, so her kingdom would thrive.
"See, I told you! They are an illusion! In the end, these two fake illusions try to persuade us to join under this man." Allan shouted again and raised his spear toward Tang Shaoyang. "Stop with this bullshit, Youngman! Or else, I will make you suffer the pain you never experienced before!"
"Good! I am tired of hearing your loud voice as well, old man!" Tang Shaoyang took out Dragon Destroyer from his inventory and cast [Grand Dragon Transformation]. Yes, he did not use [True Dragon] to test these two old men's power.
He tried to use [Basic Detection] on the two old men, but the [Basic Detection] did not work. That meant they had a tool to block the skill. The only way to find out how strong the two old men were, was to fight them directly.

Tang Shaoyang did not stop as he also cast [Epic Integration]. He chose Zowen for the integration. "Let me test your new power, Zowen." As he integrated with Zowen, a lightning strip formed on his cheek and chest. It had been a long time since he used integration.
'I kinda wanted to try to use [Epic Integration] while I am in [True Dragon] form….' He wondered how strong he was if he tried that.
Crystal came over to his side and tried to block him. "Can you please wait longer, My Lord? I did not stop you from killing my descendants because they have deviated from the right path, but this time is different. Those two have become like this because of Rosalie, and I hope you can give her time to convince them. Or else, Rosalie will be haunted with guilt if they died in your hand."
"I don't see how Rosalie will convince those two old knights." Tang Shaoyang glanced over and noticed Alton also drew his sword out. "They are ready to fight me."
"Let me do this then." Crystal turned around and stepped out. At the same time, she also pulled out her sword, and she held the sword horizontally toward Alton and Allan.
"Frost Sword Technique: Third Sword Frost, Frost Outburst!"
Fwoosh!
Crystal's figure bolted out from her spot toward Allan, leaving a trail of frost. She aimed the sword at Allan in order to convince the old man as Allan was harder to be convinced than Alton. She showed her technique, hoping Allan would believe their story.
Allan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment because he was familiar with this technique. But he responded quickly and raised his shield in his left hand.
Bang!
The sword hit the shield, and the frost aura spread onto his shield. The frost aura started to freeze his hand as well, but then Allan smiled. "It's an excellent replica, but it's too weak for Frost Sword Technique. You can't trick me with this half-baked sword technique. Flash Spear!"
Allan's right hand moved in a flash and stabbed right at Crystal's chest, and the spear pierced through her chest to back.
Crystal's blue eyes widened in shock as she did not expect Allan would kill her without hesitation. Just like that, Crystal's figure slowly faded away. After Crystal's figure vanished, Allan turned toward Alton. "See, she is just an illusion! Don't get tricked by them!"

Gods How I Hate Nature
While there are always choices in life, lately they’ve all tended to skew between bad, terrible, and suicidal. Tome finds himself typically choosing the latter. As if people and plants consistently trying to kill him wasn’t bad enough, he finds himself sent off to a Mage Spire along with a self-righteous other worlder (as though there were any other kind). Add to this some powerful figures in black, a sadistic instructor, an uptight law keeper, and Tome just wants to go back to his room, down a pint, and forget about everything… But, when someone starts a fight, especially someone bigger and stronger, you bide your time and strength. Before you can get revenge, you have to settle for surviving and slowly gaining power. That means accepting the most suicidal choices, doing the jobs no one else will do, always smiling, and not slitting that other worlder’s throat… (The story will incorporate comedy, but it will be a dark story. This won't be a happy, uplifting tale, but it also won't be too morose or depressing. Though if you're rooting for the other worlders, then I suppose it will be...)
