Armipotent
chapter-482

The biting cold started to attack her soles and crept to her thigh. Selena tried to cast her skill to protect Tang Shaoyang and her. However, soon, she realized that she could not cast the skill. Her body froze as the aura locked her neck, she started to suffocate as if she was being choked.

She thought she was about to die until a dreadful aura burst out of Tang Shaoyang's body. The dreadful, fierce, and wild fought back and pushed Duran's aura. Tang Shaoyang started to understand the use of aura, for example, the one he controlled right now. It was [Slayer Domination]. It was kinda useless in the battle, but it could be a surprise in the battle.

He tried to control this aura and now it came in handy. The [Slayer Domination] easily pushed back Duran's aura. He focused everything on the middle-aged man. Duran was not expecting Tang Shaoyang to have this kind of aura. He fell from the chair as the cold aura vanished from the room. It did not stop there, the glass window broke into pieces as the maids who were waiting on the side of the dining hall fainted.

With the dreadful aura and combined with Tang Shaoyang's killing intent, the normal maids could not do anything as they passed out. Even Ashley, rooted on the chair, did not dare to do anything. For now, the dreadful aura was focused on her father only. She was aware that if she tried to move, she would be immediately affected by the aura. Her body was shaking in fear as her instinct was screaming to her to not do anything.

The commotion attracted the knights outside. A stream of knights rushed into the dining hall. However, none of them dared to come closer as the dreadful aura served as a barrier. None of them dared to come closer.

"Stop!" It was until this scream rang as a middle-aged man in fancy clothes barged into the dining hall. The middle-aged man was the head of the Malone Family. He rushed in and helped Duran to get up. Two against one, with only the two working together, they managed to balance the dreadful aura.

"What are you waiting for? Evacuate the maids!" The head of the Malone Family ordered the knights before he looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "Are you not going to stop until the fight breaks out?" The middle-aged man questioned Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Why don't you ask that person who started this first? I am merely defending myself." After saying that, he took out the Dragon Destroyer, "It seems you prepared to fight me." he scanned the dining hall.

Rows of knights were prepared, it was clear that Duran Knight had another agenda for him, 'It seems I was too careless just because Ashley is under the oath.'

He remained unfazed in front of the knight and the two Epics. No, he was excited instead as a wide grin formed on his face. Ashley was clueless that her father planned this. She looked around in shock. But the thing that shocked her, even more, was the fact that Tang Shaoyang managed to stand his ground against two Epics at once.

Ashley looked back and forth between her father and Tang Shaoyang. Then she recalled her great-grandmother's words during their talk. "He is your chance if you want to win against the Lionax Kingdom. Follow him, My Dear."

As a spirit that contracted to Tang Shaoyang, Crystal could see what other people could not see from Tang Shaoyang. For example his status window. She had seen everything. First, he was not just a normal human, but High-Human. Second, He had a second class. Third, He has a bloodline. It was something that could only be achieved by reaching The Epic.

Alas, the contract between her and her Master disallowed her to speak about her Master's secret. Crystal could only convey her words like that.

"I offered you a good deal but you refused me. The only way is to get rid of you. I don't want an unknown factor to spoil our plan!" Duran Ambrose fixed his clothes. Tang Shaoyang's strong aura surely caught him off guard. However, he was confident to win against Tang Shaoyang who had not reached Epic.

The plan they were talking about was to marry Ashley with the Crown Prince. Once they officially married, they could start their attack, rooting the Kingdom from inside and out. They had made this plan for years and would not let a man from another world ruin their plan.

"Once you are killed. The oath will be nullified. My daughter and her knights would be freed!" Vicious glints gleamed in Duran's eyes.

Tang Shaoyang was not afraid of that empty threat. He had scanned the knights, even though there was something that caused the [Basic Detection] to fail on them. He was sure that they were not that different from the knight they sent to Earth.

—Let's not kill them, Master. Even though killing them could help you reach level 1000, we still need them to fight against the Lionax Kingdom. They still had some uses for us, Master.

It was Zaneos who spoke to Tang Shaoyang. Even though he wanted to fight these knights and also the Epic, it would ruin their purpose of coming to this world.

—You are that confident that Your Master could kill the two Epics, Demon! Don't think it was easy to kill the Epic. Though I agree that you have to escape from them. If you fight them, you will draw the attention of the Lionax Kingdom to you. Especially if the Kingdom dispatches the two Guardians, your chance of survival would be zero.

Rosalie the Flame Queen voiced her thoughts as well. There was no need to be embarrassed from escaping from the inevitable defeat. It was not cowardly but a wise decision.

—Ah, it seems you still know nothing about our Master, Rosalie. He is capable of killing them, especially with the other spirits' help. But I agree for you to escape, Master. Not because they are my family, but they have a greater purpose than farming your levels and also to avoid the Lionax Kingdom's attention. You should not fight them, you should use them as a diversion. It seems my worst concern is happening.

Crystal voiced her thoughts on the matter.

'What do you mean?' Tang Shaoyang was itching to fight these people but he tried to understand his spirits' reasoning.

—The Ambrose Family is no longer driven by vengeance but desires to rule the kingdom by themselves. They are doing this not to avenge me or my husband.

Crystal said something that even shocked Rosalie.

—Why do you think Commander Alton did not join the Ambrose Family and the remnant of the Fotia Legion's cause to rebel? He is my best friend and also the most loyal knight to you, why did he choose to live in solitude instead?

Commander Alton was the Commander of the Fotia Legion. The man who saved the Ambrose Family from the destruction. The strongest knight of the Pyrolis Kingdom. Also, the reason why the rebel force never dared to make their move even after years of plotting in the dark.

—Master, I will explain everything later. For now, let's escape first from this place. Don't forget to bring Ashley with you. The lass is innocent. She is just a pawn for her father's ambition.
