Tang Shaoyang felt a surge of uncomfortableness all over his body. He then looked down to find the source of this uncomfortableness. He quickly figured out what happened.

"So this is the feeling of being cast by [Basic Detection]?" Tang Shaoyang muttered only to find the arrogant prince fell on his butt.

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" The young prince kept muttering the same word. He seemed to be terrified after using [Basic Detection] on him.

Tang Shaoyang then looked toward the other knights. Only then he realized that the two strongest knights, the Blaze Knight, and the Gale Knight were shocked as well.

"Is my status terrifying? Why do they look so scared?" Tang Shaoyang wondered.

There were many reasons for the young prince to be terrified. First of all, the man in front of him was level 700. That was enough to terrify the young prince who was just level 609. Second, the man had a second class which was not normal. Surely not normal even in his world. There was only one person who had two classes in the Lionax Kingdom. Two Guardians of the Lionax Kingdom, his great great grandfather. Even the current ruler of the Lionax Kingdom only had one class.

'Unless he is not native to this world,' the young prince concluded. If the man was the native, just imagine if the man was given more time to grow. The young prince did not dare to imagine that, he was just too scared.

Weed and Reed, the two Captain Knights shared a glance before they nodded. The two were aware that only Commander Ashley had a chance to contend against that man. The only thing they could do was to buy time for the young prince to leave this place safely and meet Commander Ashley.

Having reached the same solution, the two Captain Knights dashed forward. The two stood in front of the young prince, "Heed my words, Ashthera Knight! Escort Prince Kaiden to meet with Commander Ashley! We will buy the time for you!"

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that they did not try to fight him. The knights were decisive with their decision which immediately abandoned the fight while the difference of the level between them was not that big. He thought the knights would try to surround him or something. He was not expecting them to escape.

A hundred and ninety-eight knights immediately formed a formation while Prince Kaiden immediately stood up and left with the knight.

"I will not let a precious hostage leave!" Tang Shaoyang said as he extended his hand toward the group. The two Captain Knights thought Tang Shaoyang was about to attack the group. They stayed at the rear and raised their shield upward, forming two layers of wall protection.

[Spirit Manifestation]

Aerelion the Dark Wyvern was the first spirit of Tang Shaoyang summoned. The massive wyvern immediately cast a shadow below them as it flew forward.

The Dark Wyvern immediately intercepted the group of knights, causing them to halt even though the Dark Wyvern just hovered above them.

After Aerelion, Karan was summoned as well followed by Malki, Feera, and Orlean the Demon Prince. The demon prince was two meters in height with two horns on his forehead. His eyes were black with yellow irises and also had dark skin. Orlean was holding a trident in his right hand.

—Master, we are ready to follow you to battle as well

Bronson the Executioner spoke in Tang Shaoyang. After Bronson, it was followed by Yowe and Zaneos.

—Yes, Master. Please summon us to fight as well.

—We want to try a new power.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear the three. He did not know the three had woken up from their sleep after receiving enlightenment. There was no notification or anything that indicated the three had woken up.

Bronson, Zaneos, and Yowe were summoned as well. There was nothing particularly changed on the three. They still looked the same in appearance. However, Bronson was releasing a dreaded aura around him. The strongest spirit after Rumru, the executioner.

If there was a noticeable change, it was Bronson's weapon. The Executioner was no longer using a sword but two axes. The ax was shorter, one-third shorter compared to Tang Shaoyang's battle-ax. It had only one side blade, curved into a crescent shape. For sure, Bronson looked intimidating even more after his evolution.

"Don't kill the two captains and the prince, but you can do anything you want to rest as long as you leave the corpse!" Tang Shaoyang commanded.

He just sent the command yet the Dark Wyvern spat dark flame at the group of knights, "Huhu, Don't worry, Master. I am controlling my fire, surely it will not burn them to the ash, just enough heat to push them back."

Aerelion was not wrong. The black fire was blocked by a combination of shields made by the knights. At the same time, the knights were getting pushed back by the black fire.

At this moment, the other spirits immediately surrounded the group from all directions, making sure none of them would escape from the encirclement. In the blink of an eye, the group with a bigger number was getting cornered by the fewer number.

Reed and Weed looked at the spirits with pure shock. They did not know they were a spirit of a dead creature because of how real they looked. Both Captain Knights were palpitating.

"Chimera… Dark Wyvern… Demon Prince… High-ranking undead…" the two Captain Knights muttered in a low voice. Their voices were trembling as they mentioned the creature in front of them. Even the two Captain Knights were terrified.

These creatures were something they would never encounter unless they entered the underworld, the deep part of the underworld. Yet these creatures were right in front of them.

"We are doomed!" Weed exclaimed, "Even with Commander Ashley, we are doomed. We have no chance to win. Our chance to turn the wave is to return to Lukan and bring reinforcement!"

"Alright, guys. Can I have the two Captain Knights while you guys take care of the rest?" Tang Shaoyang floated down, floating right behind Bronson and Zaneos.

"Master, can you let me have them instead?" Bronson turned around and requested, "I don't think the other knights could hold my new power."

"Yes, can you stay back and let us fight them instead?" Zaneos made the same request.
