Chapter 1080: Skelly Family In Action - Part 18

Tang Shaoyang felt it was funny to hear those lines. It was typical line that was said in movie he watched before and did not expect to hear it directly like this. Funny but also stupid to tell his class to his enemy.         

Tang Shaoyang did not know what made Blood Berserker different than the other berserker classes. However, he knew how most berserker worked. The berserker had a skill or other conditions that made them went berserk, increasing their attributes temporarily for specific time. From the class name and how the man absorbed the blood, he could tell that the blood would boost the Captain\'s attributes for the time being.     

"You don\'t attack me even after I tell you my class?" The Captain was surprised that the black-haired man did not attack him. Usually people would prevent him to get the blood because the blood would make him stronger.     

Tang Shaoyang figured disappeared as he used [Blink]. In the next moment, he reappeared in front of the Captain with Titan Blade. He swung the blade downward. The Blood Berserker was caught off guard with the surprise attack, not expecting the black-haired man would move this fast. As the blade was about to reach the Captain, a red shield formed, blocking the blade.     

It was one of Blood Berserker\'s passive skill, Blood Shield. As long as he absorbed enough blood, the Blood Shield would get triggered when he was in danger. The Myth Rank Captain snapped out from the surprise as he swung his sword toward Tang Shaoyang. The perfect counter right after the Blood Shield blocked the attack.     

Tang Shaoyang also had a defensive skill he cast earlier, Flame Shield. The flame shrouded him and repelled the blade. At the same time, flame shield broke and the flame scattered. The scattered flame then chased the Blood Berserker.     

The Myth Rank Captain subconsciously leaped back from the flame, but as if the flame was alive, it kept going after him. He furrowed his brow, then the sword glowed in red before he slashed it toward the flame. The slash was enough to disperse the flame, but a figure appeared right after the flame dispersed.     

Tang Shaoyang caught up while the Blood Berserker dealt with the Flame Shield. If the Flame Shield broke from the attack, the flame would attack the person that broke the skill.     

However, the Blood Berserker was ready with the incoming quick attack. He expected the enemy would use the same move to catch him off guard. Looking at his enemy, he brought his sword upward to meet with the Titan Blade.     

Clank!     

That was the first clash between the two blades. The Blood Berserker thought he blocked the attack, but he felt pain on his right shoulder. He glanced at his left shoulder. His shoulder plate was cut and blood dropped from his armpit. He pushed the Titan Blade with his strength and leaped backward.     

It was a swallow cut, but he was sure that the blade did not reach his shoulder. "How?" He muttered by himself. "Tch." He then clicked his tongue and met with Tang Shaoyang\'s gaze.     

"Never crossed in my mind that a mere Ancient Rank could leave a wound on me. But I have to admit that you are quite skilled for an Ancient Rank." The Blood Berserker took the battle more seriously after receiving the wound. "You should feel proud to land a hit on this Mighty Mercenary, Urugan."     

\'What is this? He asked me to attack me, and now he is doing a monologue by himself.\' Tang Shaoyang shook his head. "Ying, S Rank Adventurer." He decided to play along.     

"Very well, Ying. I will remember your name. An unknown adventurer who leaves his mark on this Mighty Mercenary, Urugan." As he finished his words, Urugan\'s aura exploded. In the following five seconds his body transformed.     

Urugan\'s body got bigger as he turned into a half-beast. The tiger characteristic could be seen on the man\'s face and body. The black stripes on the red fur had similar pattern to the Sumatran Tiger, but different in color.     

Fwoosh!     

Urugan\'s figure blurred as he rushed toward Ying. For the first time, he took the initiative to attack. In two seconds, he was already in front of Ying, with his sword in the air. He slashed the sword downward but it was easily blocked.     

Clank! Clank! Clank!     

Each Urugan\'s strike was heavy but not to the point unbearable. The continuous attack gave Tang Shaoyang no chance to strike back. He then expanded his Spirit Eyes, trying to check the situation in the main battlefield. He saw the battle was over, and the adventurers led by Guild Master Gortham to the direction of another reinforcement.     

Realizing he failed to gain any advantage with frontal assault. Urugan stopped his barrage of attacks and created some distance from the Ancient Rank. At this point, he was surprised that Ying could fend off all his strikes despite their big gap. He, who was, a Myth Rank supposed to have a higher attributes than the Ancient Rank. However, it did not like they had a wide gap even though he was above in rank.     

"I would like to play with you longer, but I don\'t want the others to see my fight with you. We need to finish the fight right now." Tang Shaoyang got the idea of how strong Urugan was. He guessed right that the Myth Rank had lower attributes than him overall. They might in par in strength, but he could tell that he was superior in the remaining attributes.     

\'This is weird. How can a Myth Rank\'s attributes is lower than mine?\' That was another mystery he could not solve. \'Let\'s think about this later. I don\'t really want that old man to see me fight.\' He did not want Guild Master Gortham how he fought as he feared the old man might find something about him.     

Tang Shaoyang activated his second talent\'s skill, Infernal Wrath. The skill would increase his attribute up to the peak of Myth Rank. Then he used [Attribute Shift], reducing his Agility, Vitality, Stamina, and Magic Power to Epic Rank - fifty stars as he increased his Strength up to the peak of Primordial Rank.     

He did it within five seconds, then the next moment, he activated [Blink]. Once, he chose the frontal assault against Urugan who was in his bloodline transformation. Tang Shaoyang spun in the air as he slashed the Titan Blade down toward Urugan.     

The Mighty Mercenary put his sword upward to block the incoming attack. Despite his effort to block the incoming, he noticed that his Blood Shield was triggered. That meant he was in a danger. The Blood Shield was the first to meet with the blade, and the Blood Shield instantly crumbled.         

Clank! Boom!     

Urugan\'s hand was trembling, holding up the single strike from th Ancient. The booming sound came from his feet. His feet sunk down to the ground, and the ground cracked.     

"Urghhhh!" Urugan grunted in pain as he started to feel sting on inside his body. The pressure from above made him hard to breathe. This was an absurd situation as everything did not make sense. How could he was being cornered by the Ancient Rank, that just did not make sense.     

The Mighty Mercenary was confused with the current situation and tried to figure out what actually happened. But then, Ying moved, releasing the pressure on the blade as a kick landed on his chest.     

The Mighty Mercenary passed out for a moment as he felt his chest was being hammered by a giant hammer. He felt like his heart stopped for a moment as he crashed to the ground, and it was followed by excruciating pain on his chest. He realized what situation he was in, so he immediately got up.     

The blood started to gather in his sword, coating his sword in red blood. Then the red blood was bubbling. He raised his sword upward and slashed it toward Ying who was approaching him. The blood formed a crescent shape, quickly approaching Tang Shaoyang.     

Urugan\'s eyes widened in surprised when he saw his blood energy was sliced apart and crumbled easily by Titan Blade. He did not aware that the blade had a skill that could cancel another skill. In the blink of an eye, Urugan saw the black-haired man above him once more.     

"Shit." He was in the worst situation in his life. Because he was a berserker, he never tried to learn or acquire defensives skill. Especially when the class gave him the defensive passive skill, Blood Shield. So the only defensive move he had was the Blood Shield and the sword.     

Tang Shaoyang swung the Titan Blade horizontally toward Urugan\'s body, intending to split the Blood Berserker into two. The Blood Shield was activated once more, but it was futile as the shield instantly crumbled.     

Urugan protected his body with the sword, placing his sword vertically.     

Bang!     

This time he could not block the sword as his body flew backward. By the time he crashed, he stood once more. He did not want to die, and he would do everything to survive.     

"Dural! Bring your people here and buy me some time!" He wanted to use the five Epic Ranks to buy him time for him to escape after realizing he could not win. However, he discovered that the five ranks were no longer to be seen. Not just the five Epic Ranks, but also all the soldiers had fallen.     

The Blood Berserker looked around, then he found the person he looked for. Dural along with the other four Epic Ranks were died, and three skeletons stood between their corpses. He was the only one who was still alive.
