Chapter 424: Last Ditch Effort

King Biron charged at him with the hundred spears made of the dark energy. His speed was not something to be underestimated albeit a level slower than Lu An still. However, the spears were moving faster than the creator.

Tang Shaoyang coated his battle-ax with Slayer Energy. With countless swings of the battle-ax, he reflected a hundred spears with ease. But it was not simple by just reflecting the spears.

The spear came back for him from all directions, "A troublesome skill," he muttered. He did not dare to ignore the spears since they were created from dark energy. The implication of getting hit by the spear might be more than physical injuries if he could be hurt by the spear.

Of course, it was not that he did not have a solution for the predicament. Amidst his effort to reflect all the spears, King Biron arrived in front of him. The Zombie King was three meters away from him.

The zombies had the spear in his hand, ready to launch an attack.

[Mirage Stride]

Tang Shaoyang used the skill, breaking into eight mirages and going in eight different directions. The skill was enough to confuse King Biron momentarily.

The reason King Biron was confused was that all eight mirages did not come for him. But he reacted quickly to control the spear to chase after all mirages.

"That's too late," Tang Shaoyang was already right behind King Biron. He used [Flash Step] and moved to the back to the Zombie King.

[Thousand Blast]

Swoosh!

Before the skill could hit the Zombie King. Black energy rose and coated King Biron.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous booming resounded throughout. Five meters deep crater formed by [Thousand Blast]. The dust quickly swept by the wind, revealing the figure inside the crater.

King Biron was still standing even after receiving his [Thousand Blast], unprepared at that. However, there was a big change in the Zombie King. The zombie had no longer skin but dark energy.

Tang Shaoyang was afraid that the thing in front of him was no longer a zombie he knew before. The dark energy was crackling, bolting here and there. The floating spears were still there, but he was no longer holding the same spear.

To confirm that, he cast [Basic Detection] again on the creature.

——————————

Nothing changed from the window status. It was still showing the same description.

"Maybe King Biron used the transformation skill just like the one I have," Tang Shaoyang assumed.

King Biron turned around. The Zombie King no longer had a face. It was just flat black energy while his eyes gleamed in bright red.

In that exchange of glances, the black figure blurred. King Biron appeared in front of him, ready to stab him in the chest. Using the surface of his battle-ax, he blocked the spear.

Bang!

The black energy exploded, pushing him backward with explosive force. He blocked the attack, but the force behind the attack was just too strong. He caught unprepared as he crashed on the ground, rolling in the dust.

The moment he got up, King Biron was already before him. For the second time, he was caught off guard. The zombie thrust the spear in his hand toward his chest. At the same time, a hundred spears that floated around him also shot toward him.

Tang Shaoyang immediately activated all his defensive skills.

[Mana Shroud] [Flame Shield]

He did not stop there as he activated another [Greater Dragon Transformation]. The black resurfaced, from the heels to the face as wings came out from the back.

In the split second, he curled his wings to protect his body from the incoming assault.

Ten spears exploded along with his [Flame Shield]. The flame attacked King Biron. The fierce flame engulfed King Biron.

BOOM!

An explosive mixture of dark energy and flame raged in the dark.

Swoosh!

However, the explosion was being swept away by the big wing as a figure flew out of the explosion.

"What is that?" Gan Shuo looked at the battlefield. He could see a black-scales creature, with a wide wing.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

His heartbeat spiked up, and weird enough. His instinct was telling him to kneel toward that creature. In a panic, he looked at his surroundings. Only then he realized that everyone was kneeling while few of them were still resisting the urge just like he did.

However, he noticed his friends, Zhen Yang and Liao Zhenya were kneeling. Gan Shuo looked up, only then he noticed all the commanders were kneeling too.

"What happened!?" The older man blurted out. He could not understand what happened. The longer he was standing, the more uncomfortable he was. It was as if natural for him to kneel and it was wrong to not kneel.

Gan Shuo finally stopped struggling. He relented and knelt, he lowered his head. When he did this, all discomforts and confusion disappeared. A relaxing and relieving feeling invaded him.

He felt refreshed by kneeling to someone. Weird for sure, he just followed the instinct as this could give him a relief he never felt since this damned game started.

After a moment, Gan Shuo stood as the others also stood up along with him. His eyes immediately fixed at the battlefield once again.

The creature that looked similar to a fantasy dragon was still there. It was holding the same battle-ax that Lord Tang had. The enemy's king approached Lord Tang.

Gan Shuo finally realized that the creature was his Lord, but it still weirded him out. The instinct he felt just now, why he has those feelings.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang did not know what happened to his people as he was marveled at the new transformation. He could feel the power increase. He checked his attributes, and almost all the attributes were doubled.

"Deserves to be Epic Evolution, you force me to use my transformation," Tang Shaoyang grinned at King Biron.

King Biron seemed to lose to his instinct after the transformation. It rushed toward him again, but this time, his movement was very clear to his eyes.

"Let's try this new power, shall we!" He moved, not using any skill. His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he clashed against the Zombie King.

Tang Shaoyang caught King Biron's neck, slamming the Zombie King onto the ground. The ground cracked as King Biron spat out the black liquid.

Even though he was being held back, King Biron kept manipulating the black spears. The spear attacked Tang Shaoyang from all directions, but the spears failed to leave scratches on the black scales.

Realizing the small spears did not work on Tang Shaoyang. Giant black energy formed in the sky. If not for the crackles, the energy was hard to get noticed because of the night.

Slowly the giant black energy shaped into a spear. Of course, Tang Shaoyang noticed the black energy gathered in the air through the Spirit Eyes.

Twenty seconds later, a giant spear made of black energy formed. The spear was fifty meters long and had its head pointed at Tang Shaoyang and King Biron himself. King Biron's last attempt to kill Tang Shaoyang.
