Chapter 1054 Gamble - Part 2
"Huuu…. A fantastic battle happened here…." Two figures walked into the devastated land where Tang Shaoyang battled Windra and Gungnir. One man and one woman, walking side by side, were inspecting the surroundings. "Which God came this time? Do you feel something, Lulu?"
The man had dark armor and a sword on his back, while the woman was accompanied wearing a mage outfit while holding a staff in both her hands. She inspected the surroundings thoroughly, making not to miss a single under her observation. She raised her right hand at him, telling him not to speak for a while.
"Lightning…. Wind…. Black fire…? Void? And unknown energy…." The mage muttered in a low voice. "This is interesting. Can you watch around, Roman? I want to identify this unknown energy."
"Sure. But please say something if you want to leave the area. If you are a hundred meters away from me, I don't think I can protect you from whatever caused this." Roman nodded as he also looked around, looking for something for himself.
"There's no need for you to worry. Those God Ranks won't return, or else the Divine Lightning will kill them. They stayed too long here, and the System will not take that kindly." Lulu waved his hand.
"But what about those hypocrites gods' enemies? If their enemies could last this long, that means their target is quite strong…. Oopsie, I found something. I will be right back." Roman moved toward the thing that reflected the sunlight. He was pretty sure it was a piece of equipment. In the next second, he arrived before the thing he discovered.
A big blade and a broken battle-ax. The battle-ax shaft broke into three pieces, and the blade cracked. The battle-ax needed some repair, but the big blade was perfectly fine. Roman took the blade without hesitation.

"Jackpot! I finally got to upgrade my sword." Roman yelled out in surprise, not expecting to find a treasure in this devastated terrain. The reason he came here was under the guild's request, investigating what happened here, but he got a huge jackpot as his sword was Epic Rank equipment.
Roman was about to wield the blade, giving a swing test, but then a hand grabbed the blade. He subconsciously held the blade tightly, not wanting to give up the treasure. At the same time, he looked up at who tried to steal his precious treasure.
A man, butt naked, was right before him, trying to steal his trophy. Roman looked up and found some oddities in this man. The black hair was common, but not the eyes. The left eye was black, and the right eye was white. The pupil was not the human one but a beast, and it was purple in color. He noticed the slit pupil who was oddly similar to a beast.
Roman slowly scanned the body, trying to identify the individual in front of him. The body was well built with packs, and then he saw the vital part which amazed him. Every part of the man in front of him was the same as his, except one part was different in size.
"This is mine!"
Roman then heard the man's voice, containing an aggressive tone. However, he did not let the weapon go. "I found it first!"
"So? I own the blade. It does not matter if you find this first! This is mine!"
*** ***
'How long have I been here? Does anyone know?' Tang Shaoyang asked the spirits. He lost all his senses, and he would not count himself how long he had been here. That was a silly thing to do.
[Long enough for those people to leave the tower. I think it's safe for you to leave.] Zara responded.
[Do you want to activate [Seven Souls]?]
Tang Shaoyang activated [Seven Souls], and the first thing that came into his sight was a man inspecting his Titan Blade. He was annoyed that God Ranks, out of nowhere, tried to kill him, and now another person tried to steal his weapon. He reached for the blade. "This is mine!"
"I found it first!" The thief talked back.
"So? I own the blade. It does not matter if you do this first. This is mine!" Tang Shaoyang put more force in his hand, trying to take the blade with force. Before he could take it, a fireball loomed over him. Only then he noticed there was someone else aside from the man.
Tang Shaoyang released the grab from the blade and reached the man's neck. And then he raised the man to the air, putting the man as a shield against the fireball. The man struggled to break free with one hand while holding his treasure.
Roman could feel the heat on his back; the fireball was approaching. It forced him to let go of the blade as he tried to break the grab. He quickly realized that he did not have enough strength to beat the naked man.
"Damn it." Roman cursed as he braced himself for the incoming ball. "I wish for you to treat me to a drink for firing me a fireball, Lulu!" Those were his last words before the fireball hit his back. It exploded as the fire engulfed Tang Shaoyang and Roman.
Lulu prepared the second spell to cover her comrade to retreat. She thought her fireball would be enough to free Roman, but she was wrong. As the fire died down a little bit, it revealed the two figures in the same position. Roman was still in the air, on the naked man's hand. Then she witnessed her friend getting slammed to the ground.
"Kuarghh!"
Tang Shaoyang ignored the man as he picked up the Titan Blade from the ground. There was no hesitation for Tang Shaoyang to go for the second target. He rushed toward the mage.
At the same time, the mage shot her prepared spell, Thunder Strike. As soon as she released the second pull, she retreated and prepared the third spell. However, she was too late for the third spell. The naked man slashed her Thunder Strike with a blade, and following that, the man teleported right in front of her.
The naked man grabbed her neck and raised her into the air. Killing intent surrounded her, suffocating her. Lulu felt like the death door was right in front of her, and she could tell that the naked man would really kill her without hesitation.
"Release her if you don't want to die!" Roman put the tip of his sword at Tang Shaoyang's neck.
