Chapter 1574 It's Not A Battle Royal 3
[Your spirit, Muri the Helion Cyclop was killed!]
Tang Shaoyang stopped his steps, furrowing his brows. He never received a notification when his spirit died. The only way for him to know was when his spirit returned to the Spirit World and reported to him. That was how he found out if his spirit died during the summon.
He was about to speak to Muri through his telepathy, and then it was followed with another announcement.
[Your spirit, Suri the Helion Cyclop was killed!]
"Muri! Suri! Are you there!?" He called out, but there was no response.
[They are not here, Master!] It was Vandir who replied to him, not the two killed spirits.
Tang Shaoyang opened his status and checked the list of spirits to confirm the situation. With much less spirit in the list, than he originally had, it was easier to find if there were missing names. Muri and Suri were no longer on the list. Those announcements meant they were actually killed as a spirit. He was struck with a realization.
[Your spirit, Zuri the Elemental Cyclop was killed!]
[Your spirit, Nuri the Elemental Cyclop was killed!]
Hearing the two succession announcements, he immediately recalled the remaining spirits. Fortunately, the remaining spirits could be recalled.
[They are from different races. While they conducted themselves like an army with a formation, they still lacked teamwork. That means they are not familiar with each other, which is why we could still kill more than a hundred of them. It seems like they are uniting for Your Majesty.]
Tang Shaoyang nodded as he finally figured out why he could not find any participants. It seemed the people from the Divine Church gathering the participants to kill him. The bounty was not enough, and they planned something else for him.
"Do you remember how Muri, Zuri, Nuri, and Suri get killed? Are they using specific weapons or skills?" That was the most important thing. It was to find out how they killed a spirit.
[Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to how they died, Your Majesty. We are being overwhelmed by numbers, so I can't afford to split my focus.] Jovrick replied apologetically.
"Alright. I will talk with you later, Doom. For now, we have to think about how to fight them. I don't want to lose any of you."
It was no longer a battle royal, but him against all participants in the trial. Based on Jovrick's estimation. They clearly failed to convince all participants, but it was still an army of God Ranks. He could not underestimate them even though he might be stronger individually compared to each of them. But this was not a duel, but a war. It was not just about him this time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a massive group led by Bran, Donis, and Vitali. The three were the leaders of the killing Spirit Contractor operation. Bran and Donis were from the Nirvana Alliance, but they were not from the Divine Church.
Bran was from The Celestial, one of the strongest younger generations from the Nirvana Alliance. Donis was from The Metarnian Dragon Clan, one of many half-dragon clans from the Dragon Realm. Vitali was from The Lafreser Clan. The Clan was associated directly with one of the Guardian Dragons from the Dragon Realm.
Vitali joined them for a different reason, for excitement. But he used the excuse because of Tang Shaoyang's bloodline. The cursed dragon was one of a few dragon species that got kicked out of the Dragon Realm. It was common knowledge, and even the people not from the Dragon Realm knew it.
The three were looking at the map in front of them. That was right, they had access to a map, and they could see Tang Shaoyang's location. Not only that, they also had live surveillance on Tang Shaoyang all the time. They could see what Tang Shaoyang was doing right now.
