Chapter 1390 The First Cardinal (1)
1390 The First Cardinal (1)
Tang Shaoyang picked the bull by the horns. Carlos was in the air with blood streaming down from his thigh, forming a puddle of blood on the ground. The roar was annoyingly loud in the ears. Tang Shaoyang stabbed his sword to the ground and punched Carlos in the chin, forcefully closing Carlos' mouth.
Carlos stopped roaring as his head was assaulted by dizziness. He could feel his jaw was dislocated by the punch. His mind was muddled, and he felt pain from all over his body. Everything came at the same time. But a slap on his cheek made his head sober a little bit.
He met his nightmare, up close. The unusual left black eye and the slit pupil were so close in front of him. His heart was beating so fast as he suddenly felt anxious and nervous which came from his fear. It did not take long to realize that he was scared of the man in front of him.
"Are you the one who ordered the adventurers to kidnap my family?" Tang Shaoyang asked Carlos. He had figured it out, but he still asked the culprit. In this case, Carlos received an order from the God Rank of the Adventurer Guild. He wanted to seek the real culprit.
Carlos' chest heaved up and down pretty quickly as the fear imprinted deep in his heart. He wanted to shake his head, denying it was his doing. However, he was too afraid to lie and ended up nodding his head, "It's me! My Vice Guild Leader proposed to me, and I agreed to it."
That was the truth. It was all planned by Vice Guild Leader Amon, and he agreed to it. He thought that was the fastest way to solve the problem. It was just that they did not expect their enemy to be even stronger than a Cardinal.
"Who's your Vice Guild leader?"
Hearing the cold voice, Carlos' body shuddered because he could feel the terrifying killing intent following the question, "I don't know. He might be fighting your people outside there."
Only then did Carlos realize that the snow dome remained intact even though he used his Fire Domain. The snow did not melt under such high temperatures. They were still surrounded by the snow wall.
Tang Shaoyang held the horn and flew into the air. He flew where the fight broke out, "For the adventurers! Stop fighting and throw your weapons! Surrender and you will be spared!"
The voice echoed through the forest, and the fight stopped. Even the knights from The Harmony Temple stopped their assault and looked up toward the voice. A man was holding The Guild Leader of Waskin Adventurer Guild in the air. Everyone's eyes looked at Carlos' missing half.
The adventurers gasped in shock, and their voices could be heard in the quiet forest. It was just hard to believe that the Ninth Cardinal was defeated. The shocking part was that the enemy was uninjured from the fight.
"Don't listen to him! The Tenth and Eleventh Cardinal are with us! We can still win this battle!" A brave adventurer shouted amidst the long silence. This adventurer was a Black Iron Adventurer.
"Are you talking about these two?" Tang Shaoyang took out the two heads. The head of the Tenth Cardinal and Eleventh Cardinal. He had their heads in his inventory already.
Even the knights from the Harmony Temple took a step back at the sight of the two heads. Defeating one Cardinal without suffering any injury was frightening. But defeating one Cardinal and killing two Cardinals were more than frightening. That only meant one thing, the person who did it was a God Rank.
At this moment, the ground shook and the trees behind Tang Shaoyang fell. A giant monster made an appearance along with a bear who stood on its hind legs and a Draconian. The terrifying part was the five bodies that these three beings brought with them.
The giant creature brought two bodies with his teeth, and they recognized the cloaks the two bodies wore. It was the cloak of the Harmony Temple. The bear warrior also threw one body right below Tang Shaoyang, a lifeless body with the same cloak but everyone started to notice the special pattern on the cloak. The pattern only a special individual could wear, The Apostles.
Avyn threw the two bodies on the ground as well and voiced her thoughts, "A good warm-up. Let's fight the Seven God Alliance next. I don't think these people can satisfy me anymore."
Doombringer spat the two bodies to the ground as well, "I have to agree with Avyn in this matter. Let me fight a God Rank. They are too boring to fight. They tried to escape once they realized they could not beat me. Boring!"
"I don't think we can meet them easily. Good work and have a good rest. I will summon you again when we fight the God Rank," He raised his thumb toward Doombringer. The Behemoth listened to his order, leaving the body intact.
Doombringer humphed and returned to the Spirit World and was followed by Afi and Avyn. Tang Shaoyang stored the bodies and the head in his inventory before his figure blurred, moving toward the adventurer who spoke earlier.
"What did you say again?"
The Black Iron Adventurer fell on his butt with how scared he was. It was beyond shock what unfolded before him. Not just the three Cardinals, but the five Apostles were dead. If those eight individuals died, then there was no chance for them to win this battle. But then he realized that he offended this terrifying man with what he said earlier. Realizing how small his chance to be forgiven was, he drew his sword. His sword glowed in red as he tried to strike toward the man's chest.
However, the sword abruptly stopped a few inches from the chest. Five two slayer blades pierced the man's head, and another three slayer blades pierced his chest. He died before his sword reached Tang Shaoyang.
"I will give you one last chance, Adventurers! Kill all the knights from the Harmony Temple and your lives will be spared!" Tang Shaoyang changed his condition, "You will suffer the same fate as your leaders if you don't listen to my order!"
The tide immediately changed. The Waskin's adventurers turned around and charged toward the knights. Tang Shaoyang did not give a chance to the knights. It was because he had no choice but to kill them if he wanted them not to bother him in the future. They were under an oath the moment they joined the Harmony Temple. As long as they were under an oath, they would listen to the Seven Gods. If he spared them now, they would come for him in the future.
