Chapter 417 - Skill Fusion
This time, it was a big creature that came out from the smoke. The expanded wings stretched out from the smoke as the creature poked its head out from the smoke.
As the smoke dissipated, Tang Shaoyang got a clear look at the creature. Ten meters long, and if he had to add the tail too, it should be around fifteen to seventeen meters long.
The wing spanned up to ten meters with a wide wing. The creature had a long neck as it observed the surroundings, just like a curious kid.
It was a small version of a dragon, but it had a smaller body frame. After a while, the Dark Wyvern looked up. Their gazes met for a while before Tang Shaoyang decided to descend.
"Can you speak?" Tang Shaoyang asked.
The Wyvern tilted its head, "I can, are you the one who summoned me?" The voice was young, indicating the wyvern had not reached adulthood yet. But the wyvern was male based on the voice.
"I am and I want to establish a contract with you! Should we fight or we can talk about the terms to form an equal contract?" Tang Shaoyang immediately came up with a decision to form a contract.
It was not a dragon, but it should not be far off. There was no reason for him to sacrifice this guy. On top of that, he did not hear any objection from other spirits as well.
Aerelion did not answer as it came closer to Tang Shaoyang. The Dark Wyvern stuck its nose closer to Tang Shaoyang. The wyvern sniffed his body.
"What are you doing?" Tang Shaoyang wondered what this wyvern was doing. It was more like a dog now.
"Your smell is familiar but also foreign at the same time. That\'s weird," Aerelion pulled its head and kept observing, "You smell like a dragon…?"
This time it was Tang Shaoyang who was surprised by the spirit. He did not expect that it could be smelled and it guessed correctly. For some silly reason, he tried to smell his own body. He smelled fine, nothing weird with his body smell.
"So you are not a human?" Aerelion questioned Tang Shaoyang.
"I am…" He stopped midway, "Nah, I don\'t know myself. I am a human with…" He came closer to the Dark Wyvern and whispered, "A dragon bloodline. Also, this is a secret."
The Dark Wyvern\'s red eyes gleamed, "No wonder that I feel like I have to follow you. That\'s the reason."
The Dark Wyvern\'s words confirmed Tang Shaoyang\'s suspicion about the reason why Malki and Feera were willing to form the contract with him. The Dragon Bloodline was the main factor in it.
"Dragon is known as the Beast King, even for an Abyss Wyvern like me would feel the same," Aerelion bent its head closer to Tang Shaoyang as the magic circle formed on the forehead, "I am willing to follow!"
[Do you want to establish a contract with Grade S Spirit, Aerelion, the Dark Wyvern? Yes/No?]
Tang Shaoyang placed his hand on the magic circle as he chose yes.
[You have established a contract with Grade S Spirit, Aerelion the Dark Wyvern!]
The second Grade S Spirit was successfully contracted. But there was a bitter feeling, he had wasted five hundred thousand sacrifices for another Grade S Spirit while he could summon one with a million zombies.
"Let\'s start with 2.5 million zombies now? Or should I use all the remaining zombies?" Tang Shaoyang asked himself.
It was unfortunate that he did not know the number of the zombies. If he knew, he could do some experiments with the summoning instead of randomly testing the number.
"Wait! Sheron should know the total zombie armies. They are her subordinates, she should know the exact number!" He remembered that Sheron had been subdued by Yu Shun.
Tang Shaoyang immediately contacted Yu Shun through the Communication System. He then called Yu Shun. The call was answered quickly.
"Ask Sheron the total armies in the city!"
—Over ten million but less than eleven million, she did not know the exact numbers.
More or less, he had sacrificed over three million zombies, by the rough calculation he has six million zombies to be sacrificed. Six million was a safe assumption. Meaning, he could summon six more Grade S Spirit or he could try to add the number to get Grade S+ Spirit.
"Let\'s try once more, two million…" Tang Shaoyang decided to use two million zombies for the next [Spirit Summoning].
He added another five hundred thousand zombies to gamble it. With that in mind, he began the summoning. Another storm of black smoke raged.
[You have summoned Grade S Spirit, Terion the Demon Duke!]
Two meters tall demon came out from the smoke. The demon wore plate armor protecting his body and also a great sword on the back.
Three horns protruded upward as his black eyes and yellow irises scanned the surroundings. It had dark skin and two fangs protruded downward from the mouth. The black cape fluttered on the back.
It seemed that Grade S Spirit had a keen sense as they managed to detect their summoner immediately after getting summoned.
"It seems a capable human is the one who summoned me. Unfortunately, I detest humans, so I will never agree to be your spirit," The Demon Duke opened his mouth. His words contained a dignity of that noble as he directed the words toward Tang Shaoyang.
"It seems we are ill-fated, I don\'t have a plan to establish a contract with you either," Tang Shaoyang could feel a strange fluctuation from Zaneos. Restless and also fear? Yes, he could fear from the Demon Swordsman for the first time.
\'Do you know him, Teacher?\' He could not help but ask the Demon Swordsman.
—I don\'t know him, but his status as a noble caused the fluctuation within me. We Demons have a strong hierarchy, it is a natural feeling from me who was not a noble!
"I see, then I will finish this guy off quickly!" Tang Shaoyang took out the Dragon Destroyer. At the same time, Terion also pulled the great sword.
"You will be the first Grade S Spirit to be sacrificed by me," after the battle against Bronson the Knight Slayer, Tang Shaoyang had a rough estimation of the Grade S Spirit\'s strength.
The Grade S Spirit was still weaker than him. Added he was in a bad mood because of his loss, he was not going to hold back. He would be going all out from the start.
He started with the [Flash Step]. His body disappeared and appeared again in front of Terion. The latter was certainly caught off guard by his skill.
At the same time, Tang Shaoyang activated another skill, [Thousand Slashes]. This one had become one of his favorite skills.
Despite being caught unprepared, Terion reacted in time. The guy cast the defensive skill, a dark shield that managed twenty strikes out of a thousand strikes.
However, that was enough to buy him some time to make his next move. Countless spark and clash between the sword and the battle-ax resounded. Just like Bronson, Terion managed to parry all the strikes.
"As expected of a capable human…" Terion had not finished his words as the ax was swung toward him again. The Demon Duke crossed his greatsword to block the incoming strike.
Bang!
The Demon Duke was sent flying with one strike even though he managed to block a thousand strikes.
[Grand Blast]
It was a newly acquired skill as well. The fusion skill between [Greater Strike] with [Greater Strike]. Concentrating all power into the attack, that was [Grand Blast].
The Demon Duke came out of the rubble, he was fine since he blocked the attack.
"You are amazing but amazing is not enough to defeat me! It\'s my turn now!" From where he was, the Demon Duke slashed his sword toward him. Each of the slashes sent a blade made of Dark Mana.
Tang Shaoyang merely shook his head. No matter how strong the attack was, if the attack did not land on the target, it was useless. The straight attack was easy to read and he avoided all of them.
"Since you can block [Thousand Slashes] but can\'t block [Grand Blast], what if I combine the two skills? That will be interesting!" Tang Shaoyang licked his lips and activated [Flash Step] again.
It seemed the Demon Duke could read his movement and knew where he would attack. Terion stopped his attack and turned toward Tang Shaoyang.
At the same time, Tang Shaoyang had activated both skills, [Thousand Slashes] and [Grand Blast].
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two skills could be used as each strike contained a strong blast. Terion had to face a thousand of them.
Thanks to the combined skill, the ground was shaking fiercely from the impact. The dust rose, covering Tang Shaoyang and the Demon Duke.
After that, Tang Shaoyang heard an unexpected notification in his head. It was truly unexpected as he did not think that this could happen.
[You have triggered Skill Fusion, [Thousand Slashes] and [Grand Blast]!]
[Skill Fusion succeeded! You have learned a new skill, [Thousand Blasts]!]
The dust was swept away by the wind and revealed the astonishing sight. The attack formed a big and quite deep crater. The crater was around seven meters in diameter and around 8-9 meters deep.
Tang Shaoyang was looking at the interface, not expecting the unexpected again and also a new discovery. There was a chance to trigger a Skill Fusion by using two skills together.
