Chapter 1496  Unlucky Encounter?

Avyn, Vandir, and Zara did not know the bad news since they were summoned. However, Doombringer and Baccara overheard the conversation. The two Archaic Spirits spirited up, realizing they were about to fight the Doom Trolls.

Tang Shaoyang was in a situation where he was forced to fight to get out of the encirclement. However, their Master made an unexpected decision.

"We will not fight, Vandir," He noticed the eagerness from Vandir to fight the trolls. With how Aerelion was defeated, he felt like fighting the troll might attract a similar Calamity, "Aerelion was defeated, and he did not know what killed him. We better leave than take the risk."

He might have five more lives, but he was not going to take a suicide fight. Not until he knew something about the calamity in the night. All the people he knew in the city warned him about the night, and he did not expect the disparity between the night and noon would be this big. Something killed a Grade SSS Spirit without knowing what killed him. That was enough for Tang Shaoyang to be extra careful.

[It might be Rank 9 or maybe Unique Rank Calamity. You should go back and maybe report the Administrator about your discovery. A Unique Rank Calamity near the city, they might plan to breach the city.]

Doombringer, who was always crazy about fighting, made an unexpected suggestion. The Behemoth suggested dipping out as well instead of fighting the trolls.

"Doombringer said it might be Rank 9 Calamity or even maybe a Unique Rank Calamity. We should dip before more of those things come for us!" Tang Shaoyang was firm with his decision.

He did not wait for an agreement from Vandir and Avyn as he recalled them back to the Spirit Worlds. Then he turned toward Zara, "Open the gate to the safe area. We will not fight the trolls."

At the same time, he noticed the trolls pulled out their bows from the back. They pulled the strings as an arrow made of Void Energy formed. Before Zara could form the gate, they released a salvo. More than eighty Void Arrows shot toward Tang Shaoyang.

"Get the gate done. I will take care of the arrow."

Tang Shaoyang faced the Void Arrows head-on, raising his two hands. Chaos Energy burst out from his hand, and he used Absolute Domination Energy to nullify the Void Arrows. To his surprise, he failed to dissolve the arrows and hit his shoulder.

He felt the stink of pain on his shoulder. His blood flowed out as the arrow managed to pierce his scales as well as his passive defensive skills. He touched the arrow, and the arrow dispersed.

"The gate is done. Are you okay?" Zara was concerned that the arrow managed to wound Tang Shaoyang.

"I am fine. Let\'s leave!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head and entered the gate. Zara followed after him.

The trolls went berserk and their prey managed to escape. Some of them managed to leap over and reach the branch. Six Doom Trolls wanted to follow Tang Shaoyang into the gate, but Zara was quick to turn off the gate. The gate disappeared as the trolls went through.

"Grarrrgghhhh!"

The Doom Trolls roared in fury. Their roar echoed through the forest, causing the trees to shake slightly.

The roar was quite terrifying that Tang Shaoyang heard them even from a distance. The gate was three thousand meters away from where they were. He and Zara exchanged glances. From her facial expression, she had the same thought about the roar.

Tang Shaoyang opened The Enchanted Chart and chose the direction to go back. He and Zara went together. The reason he did not recall Zara was for another emergency case where he needed her portal gate.

Kept his Chaos Eyes open, increasing the area to watch as well as the height to keep watch of the sky. He was on high alert all the time, preparing for the worst in case he met something that killed Aerelion. Moving from one tree to another tree at a steady pace. Not too fast, but too slow either.

Just after a few minutes, he caught The Doom Troll\'s movement. It was a big group of more than eighty trolls. They were running toward him, jumping like a monkey, agile and quick.

"They caught on…" Tang Shaoyang said in a low voice to Zara, "It seems like they have something to find us. Let\'s make another gate ahead. Try to make the gate further this time."

Zara nodded and cast the spell. It took her more than thirty seconds, but then The Doom Trolls caught up. They surrounded Tang Shaoyang and the biggest troll, roaring, pointing toward Zara who tried to form the portal gate.

The leader of the Doom Troll signaled for his archer to shoot. In the following moments, the troll archers formed their arrows while pulling their bows. Thirty archers from the four directions, aimed at Zara.

Tang Shaoyang activated the Divine Armory, forming a small portal next to him. He pushed his hand into the portal and pulled out shields. Divine Armory was the advanced version of the Domain of Paragon Armament. He just needed to think about what he wanted, and he could pull them out from the Divine Armory.

Holding a giant shield in each hand, he smashed the arrow made of void energy. Of course, he used Absolute Energy Domination. He was ready for the other trolls to jump at him, but then he found the surroundings suddenly grew quiet.

He observed the surroundings and found out the Doom Trolls were looking in one direction, right above him. He found what they looked at, a creature right above him, standing on the branch right above.

It was a creature similar to a tiger. The tiger had black fur, all black. It had glowing violet eyes, eyeing between him and the trolls. Three meters tall and nine meters long with a tail. Its tails swayed around, preying between Tang Shaoyang and the trolls.

The Doom Trolls looked terrified and that made Tang Shaoyang cautious of the creature. He looked up and activated [Detection]. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[??? | Calamity Rank: 8 | Level: ???]

Tang Shaoyang now understood why the trolls were cautious. It was Rank 8 Calamity, worth five thousand points. A single of this creature was worth five hundred times the calamity he had been hunting. He would be entering the top ten right after killing it. But would I try to hunt a Rank 8 Calamity?
