Chapter 898 - 435: Spirit Mark (Part 2)
"Ten Thousand Spirits? Did the Ten Thousand Spirits summon the phantom of my friend...?"
"Not exactly, the Ten Thousand Spirits are using your past, the marks you’ve left in the world, to assist you."
This explanation was quite abstract, but before entering the Transcendent Realm, the old Great Witch Priest had mentioned these marks; Li Ang was now familiar, yet still unclear about the mechanism.
"Watch out!"
The young girl transformed again from a fish to a bird, taking Li Ang over the new black matter’s attack.
"Ga ga ga ga!"
The black matter quickly expanded, and a tall werewolf burst out from it.
This was a savage and cruel Sub-human, though some did not acknowledge them as Sub-human, thinking of them merely as mutated beasts.
There are always a few variants within Sub-human tribes that are especially strong and tall, becoming their absolute main force.
The tall and strong werewolf before him, towering over Humans by two or three heads, was an enemy Li Ang could not forget; they encountered it during a team mission with other roadside Adventurers before he found his companions.
As a Curse Art Mage, he was treated as bait and discarded.
In despair, he exhausted all his Casting Materials, using Spiritual Enhancement to boost his physical strength, pushing himself to the limit until he finally threw the creature off the cliff before dying.
Are the Otherworld Objects trying to shake my will?
Li Ang frowned, extending the Force Field Hand forward; invisible power coalesced and clenched, crushing the werewolf’s neck in his grasp.
Yet, the crushed part turned into black sludge; the force of the field applied fell to emptiness.
The werewolf held up its head, took a few steps in the air, then reattached its head.
From the black sludge behind, a Earth Attribute Wyvern sprayed forth; its arms could crush a small cliff, another fierce enemy Li Ang remembered battling.
"Oh, today, all my old adversaries gather; I wonder what more could appear?"
Decomposition Light Wave swept across these two enemies, directly vanishing them, while the remaining black sludge continued to form a third enemy.
From behind, more powerful adversaries Li Ang had faced before kept appearing, more and more, until he started to feel apprehensive.
"Diao, the Otherworld Objects are summoning my past enemies, but surely the strongest I’ve faced, Transcendent Demon Beast, can’t be summoned by them, right?"
"It’s possible, because, as things rejected by the world, the powers that exist in the Otherworld were once at the peak among Nebis."
The young girl paused: "This is what I read from the Ancient Scroll; I hope, I hope I didn’t read it carefully..."
Fluent in speech, Diao now showed hesitation, wishing not to truly see such caliber of black sludge manifestation.
Having entered the Dragon Ascension Form, even in the absence of Anna and Livi, Li Ang could still utilize the Earth Dragon Mark, summoning the Earth Element Island to hurl towards the Demon Tide.
The monsters smashed into black sludge, yet they reassembled into a black curtain.
From within the curtain, a giant claw broke through the black sludge, and a Super Demon beast resembling a lion-tiger, but with twin horns on its head, emerged.
Its entire body was covered in fur mixed with scales, muscles intertwisted, the moment it appeared, the surrounding colors started wildly changing, magic thunder boomed, and with a punch, the creature stirred up an elemental tornado towards Diao and Li Ang.
This was Ancient Galarana, the 10-tier Super Magical Beast that appeared in the Lost Ancient Battlefield expedition Li Ang participated in, with a strike capable of shaking dimensions, inciting elemental chaos, transforming into its weapon.
"Li Ang, Great Witch, I-I’ve never seen such an enemy!"
Diao vigorously flapped her wings, visibly frightened.
Normally, even if seeing Otherworld’s surge, she wouldn’t be personally facing its projection like now.
"Hey, Ten Thousand Spirits, if you want to help me, do it quickly!" Li Ang shouted to his surroundings.
Ancient Galarana clasped its twin claws fiercely, like the sky collapsing, casting shadows over the eagle and man.
Li Ang applied Acceleration Technique to his side, projecting the Spiritual Force Field upwards to reduce part of the descending power, while Diao seized the moment to quickly widen the distance.
The Super Magical Beast, having missed its hit, raised its mane in a straight line, each tip glowing with thunder.
This was its mastered law, capable of twisting all matter into thunder of different attributes using magic power.
The sky was filled with a net of thunder descending towards the two of them; Li Ang deployed a Slow Field to intercept, sealing it in emptiness.
Why does this Otherworld covet me so? In the realm of Spirituality, can they casually summon even Legendary Demons?! Li Ang cursed internally.
Although Ancient Galarana wasn’t matching its authentic level, it was already fierce enough.
Li Ang was inwardly cursing when endless silver light flashed before his eyes, with countless suspended sharp blades arranged to form a ribbon, piercing Ancient Galarana with dance-like beauty and lethal force.
"You’re here, huh."
Li Ang smiled at the petite figure stepping barefoot amid the splattering.
"Pull yourself together. You are one of the main commanders of this expedition war, Curse Art Mage. Apply your enhancement on me."
Elaphia drove the Thousand Blades Symphony to form a wall of blades, blocking the demon’s path.
That cooperative battle with the Order Sky Knight Corps was also when Li Ang first met Elaphia.
Although he knew her at the start of the battle, they hadn’t spoken until Ancient Galarana appeared, when she wielded her sword to support Li Ang’s position, the two exchanged their first words.
"Prepare yourself, this move is heavily loaded."
Li Ang applied Spiritual Activation to Elaphia, as blade’s edge burst from Douding’s pupils, seeming almost tangible, condensing nearly endless Pure Demon Blades, slicing the demon to pieces.
