Chapter 540: The Traitor

Through the [Spirit Eyes], he counted the surviving knights. 1091 knights survived the slaughter. That was a lot of knights, "Roan! Tristan! Carl! Come over here!" Tang Shaoyang shouted loudly, calling three names. He expanded his vision through the [Spirit Eyes] and found three old men were watching the battle from a distance. He caught them red-handed, and now he had a task for them.

When those three names were being mentioned, Roan, Carl, and Tristan looked at each other. Undoubtedly the three were shocked to hear their names were called. They were making sure to stay at a distance and watched the battle from the sideline. However, they could not hide from the man's eyes. He found them, and they did not know how to find them.

"Do you need to come to you guys instead!?" When those words echoed in the air, the three rushed toward where Tang Shaoyang was. As soon as they reached the battlefield, the three immediately scanned the nine individuals who fought the five thousand knights. It was a lie if they were not nervous. There were demons and undead there, the beast they never saw before.

"Hurry up! I have a task for you three!" Tang Shaoyang urged the three old men. Only then the three old men picked up their pace and approached their Master.

"Yes, My Lord! Do you need something from us?" Tristan knelt with one of his knees down. The other two followed after Tristan. There was no rejection to kneel before this man now after what they witnessed just. They did not know where their Lord found these guys, but they saw hope in this man now.

On top of all of that, the man faced two Epic Ranks alone. Yes, they witnessed everything, from the start to the end. How easy for the man to kill the Epic Rank. If a fight broke out between them before, they realized that they would be dead for sure if that happened. 

"Yes, I need the System Contract. I need 1091 System Contracts for these knights. Since the robbers could get their hands into this System Contract, I assume you have the System Contracts, right?" Tang Shaoyang did not want to use the ceremony oath. There were a thousand and ninety-one knights. It was too many for Selena, he was not going to risk her life for this.

"Yes, we have those. How do you want me to draft the contract, My Lord?" Tristan replied readily.

"A slave contract, but we will give them a chance for them to redeem themselves…" Tang Shaoyang mentioned the same slave contract he drafted back then for his people who escaped from the zombie horde, "I will trust you three with the issue. I want all of them within an hour at most!"

"We will do it immediately, My Lord," Tristan, Roan, and Carl replied at the same time, "I will retrieve the System Contract, you guys organize these knights. Also, I want Jacob alive if he is amongst those knights!" Tristan said to his friends. That man betrayed them and Tristan was not going to let him leave without paying the price.

"Oh, you guys are looking for your lovely friend? I think I found him," Tang Shaoyang extended his hand toward a figure who had his all fours on the ground and looked down on the ground. He activated [Gravity Pull] and pulled the figure toward his hand. The figure flew toward his hand and it was a familiar face that came to his sight. The fourth old man.

"We met again and I did not expect my suspicion to be true," Tang Shaoyang looked at the old Jacob who was hanged in his hand. He shook his head and threw the old man to his three old men, "Reduce the System Contract one, and you can do anything you want to do with this old man."

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang left the four old men and looked at another old man in his other hand, "Let's see how many attributes I can get from you," He grinned at the old man and activated [Slayer Absorption]. However, the skill did not get activated, and he got a notification instead.

[The skill is in cool down for 6 Days 23:49:12]

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear that. A week of cooldown. That was a crazy long cooldown. But then, the long cooldown was understandable. If he could use the skill all the time, it would no longer be a skill but a cheat.

"It seems you are luckier than your friend Derekh, Duran. And since you are my woman's daughter, I will give you a quick death even though you made her cry. But thanks to your ass attitude, I can kill you with no guilt," Tang Shaoyang summoned the [Slayer Blade]. He moved the blade to cut Duran Ambrose's neck.

Swoosh!

The blade went through the neck, cutting the flesh cleanly without splattering the blood. It was a clean-cut as the head fell off.

[You have leveled up!]

….

[You gained 32 Attribute Points!]

[You have reached level 908!]

Tang Shaoyang checked the window status. He got 66 levels from killing Duran, less 12 levels compared to when he killed Derekh Malone. That was still a big leap for him. He needed 92 levels more to reach the Epic. To reach the trial these people were talking about. If he reached Epic Rank before he could reach Beast Coven, it would boost his confidence to fight against the Primordial Rank.

"Aerelion! Check the surrounding area. I heard there are ten thousand knights. I want to know where the rest are!" He commanded the Dark Wyvern. The wyvern flew up to the sky, and it did not take long before he got the reply from the wyvern, "Master, we don't need to search for them. They are coming for us from the back!"
