Chapter 560: Rune beasts

Suddenly Shadowslash's eyebrow started to twitch as he looks at the person in front was of him.

He doesn't know why but he felt oddly intimidated by this person not because of strength but an instinct of someone intellectual.

A great commander!

These words flashed on his head as his eyes locked on this specific individual radiating chilling killing intent.

The person who was staring at him felt his killing intent and he shivers a bit before smiling in a carefree manner.

Just as he was about to speak he saw Shadowslash moving his hand and pointing at him as the numerous Scarabs in the battlefield started to converge in front of him and started charging towards him.

A chill ran through his spine but he hadn't lost his composure as he waves his hand and twelve individuals around him slams their trident on the water as they became water sharks and started colliding with the legion of Scarabs.

Shadowslash then waves his hand towards the people behind him as the archers started to shoot their arrows towards the direction he was pointing.

The Aqua Race soldiers let's out a roar as the water rised up and formed a shield blocking the arrows.

The soldiers then rode their mounts as they charged towards the barrier they knew after continuous battle with the Aqua Race Clan that the water barrier is actually not that tough to break it only needs one forceful attack to pop it.

The Aqua Race soldiers were already ready for this move as some of them summoned piranha like beasts to charge towards the incoming enemies.

Shadowslash saw this and smiled as he waves his hand a hole appeared near the water and numerous fish started flying out of the hole landing on the water.

This school of fish is called Frenzy Tigerfish they are the predator of Illusive Piranhas the very same beasts that the Aqua Race Clan used to stop the cavalries.

Because of the water barrier the water would become shallower making it accessible for cavalries to cross over.

The Frenzy Tigerfish started chomping down on the Illusive Piranhas causing them to be useless.

Because of Hentai's modification the Frenzy Tigerfish did not attack the mounts and only targeted the piranhas.

The Aqua Race soldiers felt a chill in their heart as they realised that one of their trump cards became useless.

Their commander narrows his eyes as he lets out a smile he then waves his hand as another group came forward and starts to play their conches.

The piranhas and the tigerfish started to become disarray as they bump into each other without any sense of direction.

Suddenly the Illusive Piranhas started exploding causing the cavalries to halt upon seeing this Shadowslash immediately order to retreat but before they were able to do that a group of Aqua Race soldiers charge out of the water barrier and started clashing with the cavalry.

Looking at the cold chilling eyes of these Aqua Race soldiers it seems that they were already ready to die.

As the piranhas continue to explode the cavalries started to have trouble dealing with

the beastman.

They realised that every time that they wounded them the blood on the piranhas would heal them.

Shadowslash's expression became solemn as he waves his hand and his clones appeared besides him.

The eyes of the Aqua Race commander lits up as he looks at clones he then waves his hand and numerous Xiantian marine beasts came out and let's out a roar.

Upon seeing that there are actually 20 of them Shadowslash realised that his enemy have already calculated that he would call his clones.

But Shadowslash smiled as numerous individuals behind him started flying towards these Xiantian marine beasts these individuals were the new Xiantian realm experts of Shadowslash's territory.

These were the people that managed to break through their bottleneck with the help of Old man emerald's breakthrough phenomenon.

The eyebrow of the Aqua Race commander jumps up as the number of Xiantian Realm experts on Shadowslash's side isn't on their plan but he managed to regain his confidence as he felt the aura of these experts he realized that they are just newly breakthrough Xiantian Realm experts they still haven't consolidated their foundation.

Just as he regains his confidence he saw Shadowslash waving his hand once again as an another black hole appeared just beside him.

Buzzing noises were heard as the Ancient Jewel Scarabs that were undergoing metamorphosis came out.

Their appearance have changed they look more mysterious than before as unique runes started flashing on their shells.

The expression of the people in the battlefield charged as the Aqua Race commander shouted "Impossible how could there be rune beasts on this place and what's more how could someone with a cultivation of only Xiantian Realm control them?!"

Shadowslash was confused as to why the expression of the Aqua Race soldiers became pale white with the appearance of the newly evolved Ancient Jewel Scarabs.

Suddenly he felt his world being crushed as someone locked onto him as a giant scaly hand appeared above the battlefield.

"You dare make a move on my presence!" The voice of Fire Demon Dragon King was heard as intense heat started to spread throughout the battlefield.

The scaly hand stops as a roar was heard followed by an arrogant voice "Red lizard do you really think you could stop me!"

"Stinky fish why don't you try it!" Roared Fire Demon Dragon King back as the word lizard ticks him off very much.

"Retreat!" Shadowslash immediately orders as he realized that the two might make a move.

If that is so then this entire battlefield wouldn't be able to hold them back.

But the Aqua Race commander had other plans "Men of our great clan! This is the time we will risked our lives! Our objective capture the commander of the enemy force!"

His eyes flashed in a craze manner as after seeing the appearance of the Ancient Jewel Scarabs they knew that they shouldn't let Shadowslash go.

Shadowslash doesn't know why but it seems that rune beasts are quite important as the reaction of the Aqua Race soldiers is evident on this.

Just as he was wondering why his eyes bulged so did the soldiers of the beastman side because of the event they had seen.

The Aqua Race soldiers started turning into skeletons as the Ancient Jewel Scarabs started mowing down on them.

Even the Xiantian marine beasts weren't able to escape their fate as they immediately turned into skeletons after the Ancient Jewel Scarabs finish their job on it.

The beastmen gasp in fear as they look at these hundreds of Ancient Jewel Scarabs in fear.

Shadowslash on the other hand was also frozen in shock. He quickly scanned these hundreds of Ancient Jewel Scarabs to see what had happened to them to cause such powerful change.

----------

Species: Primordial Rune Scarabs

Race: Rune Beast (Insect)

Grade: 0th Grade Rune Beasts

Cultivation Level: Xiantian Realm (Early)

Attributes: Poison

Rune Law: [Law of Devouring]

Racial Trait: [Paralysing Venom], [Metamorphosis]

----------

Just like what the Aqua Race commander have shouted they have become a rune beast but what caused Shadowslash to be confused is that they have just rank up to Xiantian Realm, How did they manage to learn a specific law already.

But his confusion quickly turns into joy with this kind of trump card he would be able to fight even Xiantian King experts.

He quickly asks Hentai on the information how the Ancient Jewel Scarabs turned into Primordial Rune Scarabs.

[After checking their present condition and the difference between the other Ancient Jewel Scarabs, Hentai have deduced that for the Ancient Jewel Scarabs to become Primordial Rune Scarabs they need to absorb a type of law to increase their own understanding of their laws.]

[Hence even if some Ancient Jewel Scarabs break through Xiantian Realm they wouldn't able to become Primordial Rune Scarabs unless another breakthrough phenomenon comparable to Long Jiaozhi.]

Shadowslash couldn't help but take a deep breath as he realized that turning his Ancient Jewel Scarabs into Primordial Rune Scarabs would be an extremely hard endeavour as a breakthrough phenomenon such as Old man emerald would be hard to come by.

Even Fire Demon Dragon King said so but at least he now knew the method on how to improve the strength of his bugs.

Just as he was feeling joy seeing how powerful his pets are he felt an extreme sense of danger coming from beneath him.

He quickly flew away but he wasn't fast enough as two pairs of hands grabs his ankle and drags him down.

Quickly transforming into a little fox before turning into a giant dragon the hand froze as the changes that Shadowslash have undergone is too huge.

With a flap of his wings he flew away because he had put LS back on his dantian since he doesn't have time to take care of him while he was on the battlefield.
