Chapter 974: Fighting

# Author's birthday special chapter (3/5).

Since the other party was trying to kill him, Ajax could not stand in the same place without doing anything. So, he summoned his shadow clone who possesses almost all his traits and skills except for the bloodlines and special skills.

And the first thing he ordered his shadow clone was to absorb the energy from Nameless cultivator's body.

As for the corroded spirit beasts and humans, Ajax could take care of them and at the same time, he could also absorb Cursed Energy.

'Advanced spatial blades'

'Swoosh'

'Puchi'

'Kacha'

Ajax started with his signature skill as thousands of spatial blades pierced through the army of Nameless cultivators.

'What the hell?'

Ajax was shocked when he saw how easily they were able to heal their injuries.

'Is it because of Cursed Energy?'

Ajax raised his brows as he looked at Nameless cultivator and guessed it.

That's right!

Ajax's guess was right because Nameless cultivator was sending his pure Cursed Energy for his minions to get healed within seconds.

'What if he injected that pure Cursed Energy into me? Will I instantly get 100 units of Cursed Energy?'

When he had this thought in his head, Ajax could not help but feel excited; however, he struggled with another thought, 'How is he going to inject his pure Cursed Energy into me?'

'Swoosh'

'Screech'

Just as he lost in his thoughts, a half-corroded raven screeched before picking him up into the air and dropping from the height.

Even though it was a cave, unlike other caves, it was very big and even the ceiling of the cave was at a great height.

'Such a silly tactic.'

However, Ajax didn't show any fear and wanted to wait until he was 10 meters from the ground to use his 'Teleport' effect.

'Swoosh'

However, a huge half-corroded rank 6 spirit cheetah appeared behind him in the mid-air.

'Damn it...Teleport.'

Because of that, Ajax didn't waste any time before using teleport to dodge the attack of the spirit cheetah.

'Swoosh'

'Oh no'

'Slap'

However, just when Ajax felt he had successfully dodged the spirit cheetah's attack, a snake-like spirit beast hit him hard with its tail that nailed Ajax into the ground.

'Damn it..there are so many of these spirit beasts and those two humans are yet to start fighting.'

Ajax coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked at the corroded army in front of him before thinking, 'Should I summon my elemental spirits and the spirit beasts?'

Just like Nameless cultivator, Ajax had his own army that was bigger and stronger.

'But I still don't know whether they would be affected by Cursed Energy and become like them?'

However, Ajax didn't want to take any unnecessary risk unless there was no choice for him.

Right now, Ajax felt as long as Master Elek didn't interfere, Ajax had sufficient confidence in defeating Nameless cultivator on his own.

'I don't know what he is thinking in his head but he is better than what he told me.'

Nameless cultivator was surprised by the reaction speed and skills of Ajax.

'Also, why the hell do I feel like someone is forcefully absorbing my pure Cursed Energy?'

At the same time, he looked in the shadow clone's direction and raised his brows.

"Someone take care of him."

Nameless cultivator had a bad feeling when he sensed that his energy was being sucked by Ajax's shadow clone.

Moreover, he didn't know how that shadow clone was able to absorb his Cursed Energy; however, he didn't want any more of his cursed Energy to be absorbed. So, he sent off his minion to attack Ajax's shadow clone.

'Spit'

As for Ajax, when he saw that, he spits some blood before ordering his clone, 'Go into shadow form and absorb Cursed Energy.'

'System, directly transfer whatever Cursed Energy he absorbed into my Sacred Astral Space.'

At the same time, Ajax ordered his system before revealing a slight smile on his face.

'Swoosh'

Hearing his master's order, the shadow clone nodded his head before dissolving into some black liquid and moved closer towards Nameless cultivator.

'Interesting. His shadow clone is not in the attacking form but at the same time, it can't be destroyed or killed in that form.'

'Thud thud'

'Roar'

The corroded spirit ape became furious when it saw that its attacks were useless on the shadow clone as it slammed its chest.

"Idiot. Stopping attacking the clone; instead, go and attack its master."

While pointing at Ajax, Nameless cultivator ordered the spirit ape to attack Ajax.

Be it contracted spirit beast or elemental summon or clones, as long as the master is killed, they would either die along with him or the severely injured.

'Swoosh'

'Thud'

Soon, Ajax was once again surrounded by the corroded spirit beasts and humans.

Almost all the spirit beasts were having the cultivation of peak rank 6 except for a couple of spirit beasts.

As for the humans, surprisingly, they also have the cultivation of the peak elite general realm and even if they have the cultivator's law, Ajax would not be surprised because even though they were corroded, Ajax could still tell them they were very old before becoming the corroded beings.

'Since he wants to kill the master, I will do the same.'

Ajax revealed a cruel smile on his face as he directly rushed towards the spirit beast that was right in front of him.

'Roar'

The spirit beast angrily roared at him because it felt that Ajax was looking down on it too much, before rushing towards Ajax.

'Swoosh'

Just when the lion-like spirit beast was about to eat him, Ajax dodged the attack by using the lightning cloud steps skill's first effect which was increasing the speed of the cultivator by three times for one hour.

'Rarr'

The spirit beast became even more angry when Ajax dodged it and wanted to attack him once again; however, before it could look back, the spirit beast felt its entire surroundings were rotating as its head fell to the ground.
