Chapter 200 - 196: Did They Slay an Entire Small
Translator: 549690339 |
“Cha, have you ever heard our teacher mention Lord Creatures gaining a King’s perspective prematurely?”
Bai Qi, looking up at the Black Death Crow that wouldn’t dare to approach
Alpha’s well-defined area, couldn’t help but ask.
“I have heard of Elite Creatures gaining Intimidation prematurely, but a King s perspective… not really.”
Bai Qiucha shook his head, looking at Alpha who was standing in the sky with a sword. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Perhaps, Alpha’s Super Skill has awakened completely?”
Bai Qi, upon hearing this, instantly checked the status of Alpha through the contract. The Withering Breath was still in the awakening state and had not changed in the slightest.
“It has not yet fully awakened. I suspect it may have something to do with the
Power of Death.”
Croak, croak, croak!
Perhaps unable to resist the allure of the purest Power of Death, the Black
Death Crow charged at Alpha after a brief observation.
At the same time, Alpha awoke from his deep thoughts and slashed with his sword. The Power of Death stored within it poured out, striking toward the
Black Death Crow.
Seeing food offering itself, the Black Death Crow didn’t hesitate to enlarge its form and swallow all the Power of Death, growing to a frightening size of dozens of feet before rapidly shrinking down to the size of an ordinary crow.
Although its size had decreased, the Black Death Crow now exuded a more terrifying aura, and from afar, it somewhat resembled Bai Heguang’s Jiuyou
Darkbird.
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately summoned the Skeleton Dragon, planning to initiate the secret method and unlock the power of the Skeleton Dragon.
The Black Death Crow quickly noticed Bai Qiucha’s move and directly headed
toward her.
The crackling sound of bones!
(Our fight is not over yet!)
just as the Black Death Crow made its move, Alpha intercepted it, opened his mouth and discharged Withering Breath, enveloping the Black Death Crow.
Croak, croak!
The Black Death Crow, having absorbed the Power of Death, looked at Alpha s futile struggles with disdain in its blood-red eyes. It sucked in all the Withering Breath, causing Alpha’s Energy Value to drastically decrease.
“I must do something now!”
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately accelerated her unlocking movement. The Skeleton Dragon’s body began to swell, revealing tiny cracks on its pale white bones, as if some horrifying creature was about to break out.
“Wait a minute, it seems that Alpha is okay.”
Just then, Bai Qi interrupted Bai Qiucha’s actions. Bai Qiucha looked up to see that the Black Death Crow had stopped absorbing the energy and even had spit some out.
“What’s happening?”
Perplexed, Bai Qiucha looked up at the sky, asking.
“God knows, maybe it’s overfed?”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Looking at Alpha’s Energy Value, a wicked grin appeared on his face.
Energy Value: 2100W
After ascending to the Four Stage, Alpha’s energy value immediately soared to over eight million. The Black Death Crow absorbed approximately three- fourths of Alpha’s energy value and yet there was still over two million left.
And this energy was enough for Alpha to fight.
However, Alpha seemed to have other plans, he simply thrust his crystal- colored sword into the Black Death Crow.
The Black Death Crow, whether due to an overload of energy or some other reason, failed to dodge Alpha’s attack, and the sword pierced its body, further
injecting energy.
Croak,croak!
As Alpha continued to pour in energy, the Black Death Crow suddenly writhed in agony. The Power of Death, which had previously given it an incredible comfort, now began to run rampant within it, taking away some of its strength
with each fluctuation.
Next, to the surprise of Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, the Black Death Crow gradually shriveled up while the crystal sword was again stained black.
When the crystal sword turned completely black, the Black Death Crow had disappeared.
“Was it devoured?”
Bai Qi furrowed his brows, just about to summon Alpha back, when an eerie light appeared around Alpha. The light, bearing a black aura, began to rapidly spread around, as if wanting to displace everything else.
However, the light didn’t get far before it appeared to be restricted and recoiled back onto the sword held by Alpha, which started to change from a broad heavy sword to a black long sword with a slender blade.
When the transformation of the long sword was completed, the light faded
away.
The crackling sound of bones!
(Boss, it seems like I have successfully awakened Withering Breath!)
“Awakened successfully?”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up as he immediately summoned Alpha to his side to check his status.

Sword of Death?
Was this the skill awakened from Withering Breath?
Looking at the description that seemed somewhat similar to Withering Breath, Bai Qi’s emotions were complex.
He thought he could directly evolve towards King’s Stance and thrash those of the same rank. Still, instead, he developed an unknown-level skill. Bai Qi didn’t
know whether to feel happy or upset.
“How is it, is Alpha okay?”
Seeing Bai Qi’s distressed expression, Bai Qiucha couldn’t help but worry.
“Nothing’s wrong, Alpha just awakened Withering Breath.
Bai Qiucha:”…”
Awakening a Super Skill is no big deal?
The corner of Bai Qiucha’s eyes twitched slightly, for the first time in her life, , she had the impulse to beat someone up. But she held back, asking, “Is it King s
Stance?”
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, “It seems to have failed to awaken, evolving into
a skill of an unknown level.”
With that, Bai Qi outlined the situation with the Sword of Death for Bai Qiucha.
“Sword of Death… Since the pet beast has given this information, the skill should have evolved successfully. But it’s likely it was restricted by Alpha’s race level, hence it didn’t transform into King’s Stance.”
Bai Qiucha quickly came up with the most reasonable explanation, and Bai Qi accepted this explanation as well.
“Since it has successfully awakened, let’s call it a Transcendent Level skill.
Bai Qi looked at the black long sword in Alpha’s hand, determining a whole new skill level.
“Transcendent Level? That’s right, it truly is surpassing the norm. Such a name duly fits.”
Bai Qiucha nodded, looking at the reborn Alpha, saying, “Bai Qi, what about another battle, a fair one, and let’s count this as a new skill test?
Not much time has passed since their battle in Gusu City, but Bai Qi’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Bai Qiucha was curious whether she could still defeat Bai Qi now.
“Alright.”
Bai Qi promptly agreed to Bai Qiucha’s suggestion. A sparring partner who was free and durable, why not.
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s promise, Bai Qiucha satisfactorily nodded, then directly entered Skeleton Armor mode. A glance at the proportions of the Skeleton Dragon Armor was enough to give the impression of powerful strength.
But she couldn’t understand why her helmet seemed somewhat heavy, especially the back of the head, which clearly disrupted the overall proportions.
“Let’s begin.”
Under Bai Qi’s suspicious gaze, Bai Qiucha once again felt for her helmet at the back of her head, and upon ensuring its accuracy, she looked at Bai Qi.
“Oh, alright.”
Alpha and Bai Qiucha both got ready to battle; one held a Bone Long Spear, the other had a Black Long Sword. Looking at them, it seemed as if two fully armed warriors were getting ready for a duel.
“Schuck, make a record.”
Bai Qi patted Schuck by his side, then announced, “The duel begins!”
As soon as he spoke, Bai Qiucha took the initiative to attack, taking a heavy step, transforming into an afterimage, and stabbing towards Alpha with her spear.
But Alpha was faster. The instant Bai Qiucha attacked, Alpha moved too, evading Bai Qiucha’s stab, gliding along the spear and arriving in front of Bai Qiucha in an instant, swinging the sword.
The longer, the stronger. The shorter, the riskier.
Alpha naturally knew how to leverage his weapon’s advantage.
Seeing so reactive, Bai Qiucha didn’t get flustered; the Bone Long Spear in her hands underwent a sudden change, transforming direct into a Bone Scythe. With a strongbackward slash, it went straight towards Alpha’s back, even
faster than him.
As the origin of Alpha’s Skeleton Manipulation, Bai Qiucha’s weapon change speed was naturally fast too.
Ding!
Just as the Bone Scythe was about to hit Alpha, Alpha’s wrist rotated at a strange angle, blocking the Sword of Death in front of the blade of the scythe. The black sword blade cut into the Bone Scythe.
How sharp it was!
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha continued, spinning, a Soul Long Knife suddenly appearing in her hands, slashing at Alpha from an angle.
It was indeed the activation of the soul within the Bone Dragon Body.
Seeing this, Alpha’s arm rotated as if it were a wheel, directly severing the Bone Scythe, attacking Bai Qiucha’s Soul Sword head on.
As the sword and knife met, the Soul Blade shattered instantaneously, and the Sword of Death went straight towards Bai Qiucha, seemingly unable to withhold its attack.
“Alpha, stop!”
The Bone Scythe and the Soul Blade could both be severed; who knew whether Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon Armor could withstand the Sword of Death.
If anything happened to Bai Qiucha, he would regret it eternally.
Luckily, Alpha’s control was good, and he forcibly changed the attack direction of the Sword of Death. It passed by Bai Qiucha’s helmet, stabbing into the ground.
Seeing that Bai Qiucha was alright, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to ask about her condition, the ground below suddenly shook violently. The forest, which was already half-dead, rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The emerald green sky above turned gloomy.
Aow?
(Human, what happened? Why do I feel like this place is about to be destroyed?) Beta woke up from his meditation and looked around with horror on his face.
“How would I know what happened.
Bai Qi’s face was bitter. Looking at the Sword of Death still embedded in the ground, a terrifying thought crossed his mind.
Did Alpha just destroy a mini-world with a single slash?
