《Armipotent 》Chapter 316: Zaneos Debut
Advertisement
The [Fire Breath] cleared the path forward. Hundreds of Scorched Ants were burned to death. Moon's jaw dropped at the sight of the show by the overwhelming power the man had.
Moon then noticed the man was walking to the sky. He was sure that there was footing he could use to walk but the man walked anyway. The man was standing twenty meters in the air now.
"Huhu, [Sky Walk] surely amazing, though I don't know if this could be used in a battle," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a chuckle. He had [Dragon Transformation] that provided him a wing. He could fly to chase the flying creature or enemy instead of using [Sky Walk].
—You can combine it with [Flash Step].
Zaneos's voice rang. Since their return to the Earth, the three spirits cut off their connection with Tang Shaoyang temporarily. They did not want to watch a live p*rn two days straight, that was what they could do to avoid the misery.
Now Tang Shaoyang had returned into the portal, it was the learning. Zaneos found that each world had different things to learn. The oath based on System, Bloodline, and second class were the things they learned from Arkania Continent, so they might learn something new in this Fallen Land.
"Combining the two?" Tang Shaoyang soon realized what Zaneos was talking about. [Flash Step] was a skill that needed a footing to be executed. So he could not use the skill if he was in the mid-air. But with [Sky Walk], he could get a footing even if he was in the air, "That's a truly great idea, but we can't try that out until we meet something worthy to use [Flash Step]."
His Agility was over five thousand. There was no creature faster than him with Rumru as an exception. So using [Flash Step] against the Scorched Ang was useless since they were too weak, to begin with. He would not be able to find how effective the skill was against a weak creature.
"But let's test out [Dragon Fire] for now," he opened his palm, fire flared up covered his hand. It was the same fire, but he controlled the fire. He extended his hand toward one of the Scorched Ant. A fireball in the size of his fist shot toward the Scorched Ant.
Boom!
The Ant exploded and fire engulfed eight meters area. The ants near the exploded ant were swallowed by the fire.
"Hoh…" Tang Shaoyang extended his other hand, creating a spear made of fire. It was the same skill he had given Liang Suyin, [Fire Spear]. However, he created the spear through [Dragon Fire].
He directed the fire spear at the random spot in the swarm. A bigger explosion blew up, engulfed fifteen meters area. This time he extended his sides, dozens of fire spears formed in the air.

"I see, [Dragon Fire] is similar to [Advanced Lightning Creation]," soon he realized that both skills were similar but just different elements. One was fire and one was lightning, but he could tell that the fire was stronger than the lightning. He did not say it out; he did not want to hurt Zowen's feelings.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Tang Shaoyang then directed the fire spears toward the swarm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Scorched Ant Swarm was exploded in fire, the barren land now blazed under the fire. The barren land had turned into a scorched land within the blink of an eye.
Only after killing more than thousands of the Scorched Ant that he hears a notification of level up in his head.
"Hah, it will be hard to level from now on," he let out a sigh.
Moon took a deep breath as he watched the show. The Mystical Bear just witnesses the gap between him and Tang Shaoyang. He was dreaming that he could catch up as long as he kept evolving. But now he found out that the gap was widened instead of getting closer.
After testing his skill, Tang Shaoyang returned to Moon and Li Na. The girl was looking at him with admiration. It was a lie if he did not feel good for that.
He smiled at the girl, "I am done testing my skill, you guys should hunt the swarm to level up."
Li Na blushed when she received the smile. With or without hair, Tang Shaoyang was still looked dashing in her eyes. She was about to say yes until she heard Moon's voice.
—We can't! This is too many for the two of us. We need his help.
The Mystical Bear knew his limitation even though he wanted to show off in front of this man. The enemies were too many for him to handle. On top of that, he had to protect his Master too. The battle was too risky, his Master's life might be in danger. Moon did not want to risk it, and if the man was not here. He would choose to escape instead of fighting the swarm.
Li Na was hesitating a while, but she mustered her courage to speak, "The swarm is too many for us, we need…" she did not finish her words, but Tang Shaoyang got the cue.
But he was kinda lazy to fight the Scorched Ants. There was no challenge killing these ants, so he did not find the fun of battling the swarm. On top of that, the Scorched Ants barely helped him leveling up, but he had a solution for this one.
'Do you guys want to fight?' Tang Shaoyang asked the spirits.
—I am fine.
Zaneos immediately replied. He did not have the interest to fight an easy battle too.

—I want!
—Me!
Karan and Zowen were more excited than the Demon Swordsman. They seemed to like to appear through the [Spirit Avatar]. As expected, the two spirits were excited to join the battle.
"It's okay, I have someone to help you in the battle," Tang Shaoyang cast [Spirit Avatar], summoning his two spirits.
Even though it was just bluish mana form, Karan and Zowen did not mind that. The Orc roared excitedly as soon as he was summoned before looking toward the bear.
"Giant Guy! How can you are afraid of this swarm with the big body of yours!" Karan pointed his finger at Mystical Bear. That was the first thing he said after getting summoned.
The bear had no way to rebut the taunt but roared back at Karan. The Orc seemed successfully angered Moon.
"I don't know what you are trying to say, but a real warrior never fret from the battle!" Karan pulled the two axes from his back, "You need to learn from this Great Warrior Karan!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Too much talking for a warrior!" Zowen used [Thunder Wrath] consecutively at the Scorched Ant swarm.
Li Na could hear her summon was screaming furiously at the unknown being. He was scolding back, but unfortunately, only her could listen to that.
"You can come down and stay near her!" Tang Shaoyang pointed at Zowen, "Let Moon runs wild, he must be upset, right?" Tang Shaoyang grinned at the girl.
He then glanced at Zowen and instructed, "You should protect her, Zowen!"
The Lightning Magus nodded and looked toward the tender Li Na, "Leave it to me, you can leave the whole swarm to us."
The number of the swarms was simply too many. They truly lived up to their species who overwhelmed their enemy with numbers. It was a long battle between four individuals against the swarms.
The Orc Warrior fought his way to the swarm and Moon did not want to lose out as he followed into the swarm. Li Na used her skills, sending her mana to Moon to strengthen him, and also used her bow to hunt the Scorched Ants at her sight.
As for Zowen, she was like a crazy mage that kept firing her lightning at the swarm. Li Na could feel the rage behind each of her attacks. It was as if she was venting all her anger onto the swarm.
As for Tang Shaoyang, he was watching the battle unfolded behind his spirit and Li Na. He sat on the ground while rubbing his chin. It had been an hour after the battle started, and he heard a notification of leveling up. Zowen and Karan combined had killed thousands of the Scorched Ants.
"So I can still level up even I don't fight directly," he discovered an interesting point. He could level up by ordering the spirits to fight for him. He opened the status screen, he had fourteen empty spots for the contracted spirit.
"Should I summon more new spirits so they can fight for me?" Tang Shaoyang found an interesting and tempting idea to level up. Before he prioritized quality over quantity, he did not want to summon a new spirit unless he had a good offering. Now he thought differently since more spirits brought him more benefit.
—That's actually a good idea. You can summon me too, so I can help you to level up. We can use this Scorched Ants' swarm for your sacrifice to summon a new spirit.
Zaneos immediately volunteered to fight for him when he thought of the idea.
"But these Scorched Ants are too weak, I don't want to summon a weak spirit. At least, they have to be at the same level as Karan!" Tang Shaoyang kinda opposing the idea of using the Scorched Ants for the sacrifice.
—They are weak, but their numbers fill the lack of sacrificial quality. Didn't you summon Karan with stage-1 zombie bodies? I think you can summon a stronger spirit than Karan or even me with the Scorched Ants as a sacrifice.
"I thought you don't like to fight the weak opponents, Teacher," Tang Shaoyang respected his spirit if the Demon Swordsman was not willing to fight or to be summoned, he would not force them to.
—If it's for your sake, I am willing to fight. The stronger you are, the closer you are to achieve your goal. And this is not only for you but for me as well. I can at least do this much to help you.
Tang Shaoyang grinned, "If that's what you want, then I will not hesitate to use you for my benefit."
Tang Shaoyang used [Spirit Avatar] to summon his third spirit. For some reason, Zaneos' avatar was different from Zowen's and Karan's avatar. His avatar was darker, a dark purple as if the mana was tainted by something dark. There was a sword on his waist and a straw hat on his head.
Zowen stopped her mad attacks and glanced toward Zaneos. She was surprised by Zaneos' appearance, "You finally make your appearance."
Zaneos did not respond to Zowen's remark. The demon was clenching his palm into a fist and opening it again. He was trying to feel the avatar's body.
"Let's see if my sword play becomes rusty or not," Zaneos's hand moved to the sword, ready to join the battle.

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
