Chapter 1046: Even Gods Bleed - Part 2

Chapter 1046: Even Gods Bleed - Part 2Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh once more as he was sent down by Gungnir. Despite all the attacks he received, he was not seriously injured. The black scale was still shiny, protecting him from any serious injuries, and added with the Dispersal that dispersed half of the damage, he was still fine after a few minutes of fighting against the three God Ranks.         

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. "I don't expect that I will last this long." He then looked up at the three figures in the sky while the three figures also looked down at him. After overhearing the three God Ranks' conversation, he realized that the only thing he needed to do was to stall. Stalling the time until the Divine Lightning became strong enough to scare the three God Ranks.     

From the three God Ranks' conversation, he realized that they still had pride for not using the transformation skill. It seemed the three God Ranks were reluctant to use the transformation skill for some reasons, either for their pride or there might be a hidden consequence he might not know.     

'Regardless, I have to stall the time until the seventh, the eighth, or maybe the tenth. Guess that's the only way to survive against these three.' Tang Shaoyang realized that going for a kill might not be the best plan for him. He tried to fight with the intention of killing them, but now he realized that it would not work.     

[Attribute Shift]     

Tang Shaoyang used the Attribute Shift and maxed out his Agility. He then turned around and used Blink to get away from the three God Ranks.     

"He tries to escape!" Lasius immediately noticed the movement and yelled out for his friends. Windra and Gungnir were above him in terms of speed.     

The two immediately chased after Tang Shaoyang after their friend's warning. One zapped with the lightning while the other wind used the wind to his advantage. The late start gave the two God Ranks a hard time catching up. They tried to use a long-range attack, but it failed miserably. It was as if their prey could read the future, perfectly avoiding all the attacks.     

"How come he is so fast?" Gungnir could not believe that he had failed to catch up after a three-minute chase. While chasing, they noticed the darkening sky, followed by a deafening rumble. The seventh wave of the Divine Lightning came for the three God Ranks.     

Gungnir and Windra thought of stopping the chase and focused on defending themselves from the Divine Lightning. But then a bright light came from behind as they sensed a surging aura. There was no need for them to look to know what happened.     

"Don't worry about the Divine Lightning! I will use transformation and defend the seventh wave by myself!" Lasius told his friends not to worry about the incoming Divine Lightning. As they thought, Lasius used the transformation skill for them.     

Six pairs of golden feathered wings grew on Lasius' back. His entire body glowed in Divine Aura as his eyes turned entirely golden. He flew above Gungnir and Windra, followed by three floating golden bows. The three bows with golden arrows aimed at the sky. Lasius intended to block the Divine Lightning with his arrow.     

The dark cloud flashed as the Divine Lightning descended. At the same time, Lasius shot the three arrows toward the descended lightning. The golden arrow shot to the sky, clashing with the Divine Lightning. Lasius watched his arrows disintegrate against the Divine Lightning.     

"F*ck me!" He raised his hands to the sky as a vortex formed right above him, pulling the two Divine Lightning that went after his friends. At the same time, a golden barrier protected him. The first Divine Lightning hit the barrier.     

Rumble!     

Lasius frowned as he noticed the lightning crack his barrier. He realized that his barrier was not strong enough to receive three consecutive Divine Lightning. He was about to create a new barrier, but it was too late as the two Divine Lightning came at him.     

The cracked golden barrier could not even hold against the second barrier. It ended with the worst situation, where Lasius had to take the Divine Lightning with his body.     

"Hah…. Hah…. Hah…. Hah…." Lasius breathed heavily as his armor and skin were charred after the lightning strike. Smoke blew from his wings and body as burn marked his smooth cheek. He quickly realized that they had miscalculated how strong the Divine Lightning was.     

Of course, doing such a thing was not the first time for him, Windra, and Gungnir. However, this one was the longest time they had to stay and hunt their prey. This was the first time he received the seventh wave of Divine Lightning.     

Lasius' body swayed in the air. He looked fine on the outside, but he suffered internal injuries. Along with the Slayer Energy that still wreaked havoc inside his body, he was not in the condition to stay with his friends. He could no longer defend himself against the System's Divine Lightning.     

"Listen to me, Windra! Gungnir! Use everything you have and finish our hunting! The Divine Lightning is much stronger than we thought. I am seriously injured, and I have to return right now. I will leave the rest to you guys!" That were Lasius' last words before he flew back to the crack in the sky.     

*** ***     

Gungnir and Windra exchanged glances, clearly shocked to hear those from Lasius. They were aware that Lasius used the transformation skill, yet their friend still got injured by the Divine Lightning, forcing their friend to go back. Realizing the severity of the situation, both did not hesitate to use their transformation skill.     

Gungnir's whole body turned into lightning while the sky completely turned dark. At the same time, wind storms filled the area as Windra turned into a six pairs-wing angel. With their transformation, it took them forty seconds to catch up to Tang Shaoyang's speed.     

Gungnir stopped Tang Shaoyang from the front while Windra was right behind. "You can't run anymore, heathen!"     

"Do you think so?" Tang Shaoyang smiled as his body turned into seven figures. The seven figures split up, trying to escape from the two God Ranks. However, seven flashes of lightning came down from the sky, striking down the exact seven figures. The six mirages disappeared while the real Tang Shaoyang avoided the lightning. Gungnir stood in front of Tang Shaoyang, and Windra stayed behind Tang Shaoyang.         

"I guess we have to fight." Tang Shaoyang took out the Titan Blade and The Dragon Destroyer. He held the blade in his left hand and the battle-ax in his right hand.
