Tang Shaoyang was surprised to see the alert, he did not know that the skill had a cool down. He then tried to summon Zaneos too.
[Skill is in cool down! (19 hours 42 minutes 43 seconds)]
It was the same alert, but it had a different cooldown time. He soon realized that the skill down for each spirit was different, meaning he could still summon Malki but not the other spirits.
'It's fortunate discovery, I should test the other skills too to find about the cooldown,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.
It was fortunate that the enemies were weak. If it was a strong opponent, casting a cooldown skill could bring him to his doom.
Without a second thought, he summoned Malki through the [Spirit Avatar]. The Fire Ant Emperor looked around in confusion for a moment. It seemed he had not gotten used yet with his spirit form and spirit avatar that led to confusion.
Malki soon regained his sense and turned his body around. The Fire Ant Emperor knelt toward Tang Shaoyang, "Your order, My Lord?"
He pointed at the rows of Scorched Guardian that came out of the hot steam, "Kill all of them!"
Malki stood up and turned his body toward the Scorched Guardian who guarded the entrance toward their eggs. There was no hesitation in his move even though the target was the same species as him. The Fire Ant Emperor flapped his fire wing and rushed toward the Scorched Guardian.
"Let's not waste our time here!" Tang Shaoyang also immediately activated his [Dragon Transformation]. Li Na's eyes never Tang Shaoyang, she watched the whole transformation. It was for sure less scary than before. She just felt a little disturbed, but she easily accepted that as soon as his face was looking at her.
"Make sure to stay behind us, and if you are in danger, don't hesitate to call me! This is an order, understand?" Tang Shaoyang instructed Li Na in a stern tone.
"Yes, Boss!" Li Na replied loudly.
'it's good news that [Dragon Transformation] does not have a cooldown or the cooldown is shorter than [Spirit Avatar]. I should have tested it out after the battle,'
Tang Shaoyang nodded and flapped his dragon wing to follow Malki who had decapitated two Scorched Guardian with his blade-like arm. As he flushed toward the swarm, he opened his mouth.
He was about to cast [Fire Breath], a wide range skill that could easily wipe hundreds of the enemies. However, he was struck with a realization, if he used [Fire Breath] or [Dragon Fire] they would be burned into ashes. He did not want that to happen as he wanted to use their remnants either for another [Spirit Summoning] or [Spirit Advancement] for Malki.
He should avoid using the skill that could wipe their remnant. Tang Shaoyang flew to the roof as he thought of an idea to end the fight as fast as possible.
He stopped in the air and activated [Advanced Spirit Integration] with Zowen. As he integrated with Zowen, his scaled dragon wing turned into lightning, and another pair of lightning wings came out. Now he had two pairs of lightning wings on his back.
'I wonder what would change if I integrate with Karan? Will my scales turn green?' He was wondering something useless as he extended his hand toward the crowd of Scorched Guardian.
He cast multiple [Lightning Wrath] on the crowd. Big lightning came down from the roof, struck down the stage-5 Scorched Ant. To his surprise, [Thunder Wrath] had become a lot stronger while he was still in his [Dragon Transformation].
The Scorched Guardian that was hit by the [Thunder Wrath] had the body exploded into pieces and killed the other Scorched Ants in seven meters range around the explosion.
In order to save the carcasses for sacrifice, he had to use the weakest skill, [Chain Lightning]. From Zowen's explanation, the skill did minimal damage, but it would stun the enemies that were hit by lightning.
Tang Shaoyang cast [Chain Lightning] to the closest Scorched Guardian. The first Scorched Guardian immediately fell to the ground with the body scorched black. Yes, the crimson carapace turned black because of the lightning. The Scorched Ant was scorched to death.
Another ten Scorched Guardian who was hit by the chain reaction also fell to the ground within a few seconds. He then spammed [Chain Lightning] instead of [Lightning Wrath], mass killing the Scorched Guardian.
—Dragon Bloodline is too powerful, and he abuses his power against a weak enemy too. This is bullying, not a battle!
Zowen remarked as she witnessed the Scorched Ants were slaughtered by her weakest spell, [Chain Lightning].
'I am not abusing my power, I am taking advantage of my overwhelming power for my purpose to get even stronger than I am now,' Tang Shaoyang corrected the Lightning Magus.
—Whatever
The battle was not like a battle, at least, that was what Li Na felt who watched the battle from the back. As the slaughter continued, she noticed that instead of killing the Scorched Guardian, the ant spirit summoned by Tang Shaoyang stopped killing the enemies.
The Ant Spirit was bringing the limbless Scorched Guardian to her. It screeched at her, and she translated that the spirit asked her to kill the limbless and powerless Scorched Guardian.
Li Na killed the delivered Scorched Guardian. The ant spirit screeched again but the screech was gentler this time. She translated that the ant spirit was praising her or saying something similar.
It continued, the ant spirit kept sending her the powerless Scorched Guardian for her to kill while Tang Shaoyang slaughtered the Scorched Guardian with a single wave of his hand.
At this point, even she could not contain her curiosity, 'Just how strong he is? Is there a chance for me to keep up with him? What actually he experienced in the fifth portal to him to get this strong?'
The Scorched Guardian was in the level 145 average, it was a strong monster for her who was just level 119. It was several levels above her but he could kill by just extending his hand at the enemies.
'Does he even need our help to build his empire? He is alone equivalent to an army,' our in her thoughts were Tang Shaoyang's subordinates.
—He still needs our help, Master! He may look so strong but it's because you never met someone stronger than him.
Moon and Li Na shared their thoughts and the Mystical Bear could not help but voice his remark.
'Says someone who was surprised by his strength,' Li Na smirked at the cocky bear.
—I am not surprised by his strength, I am surprised by his growth. How could he possibly become that strong in a short amount of time?
Moon was serious with his remark.
—I haven't told you anything about my original world, haven't I? My parents are stronger than him, far stronger than him but they still died!
'Why didn't you tell me about this early? Moon!' Li Na raised her voice.
—I am sorry, Master. But it is related to the Summoner Contract between us. I can't tell you anything about my world, or the contract might get canceled, and I will be sent back to my original world. I am sorry.
