《Armipotent 》Chapter 384: A Being Made of Fire
Advertisement
Zaneos's voice rang in his head. The Demon Swordsman seemed to know more about the undead.
"I see…" Tang Shaoyang contemplated for a moment before he told Wen about Pride and Kairu's situation. He wondered if the Jade Eagle could think of a way to locate Kairu.
"That's easy actually, My Lord," Wen truly had a solution, "Since we know the direction where they were going, you can tell Kairu to make a signal with his fire. Tell him to burn the surroundings, we can find their location with ease with the fire."
"That's actually five heads!" He flicked his finger at Wen.
"Five heads?" The Jade Eagle was confused by the terms. Was that a compliment or an insult? Wen did not know.
"That means you are a genius~" Tang Shaoyang grinned. He learned that term from Gu Yingjie and Yu Shun. When he asked them what that meant, the two young men told him it was the terms used to call someone smart online.
"Thank you, My Lord," Wen bowed his head. Since it was a compliment, the Jade Eagle bowed his head.
After that, Tang Shaoyang walked out of the house and Wen followed him. He was looking for Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi and soon spotted the two.
"You two will lead the force to attack Jiaxing City! I am going to meet with Kairu and Pride," abruptly, he told the two that he was going to leave the army to the two.
"Huh, but why? Why don't Pride and Kairu come over?" Wei Xi could not help but ask Tang Shaoyang.
"The situation is…" Tang Shaoyang told the two Generals about the Pride and Kairu who managed to convince the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe to be the empire's vassal.
"Now Kairu and Pride are fighting the four Bombyx Mori Tribes by themselves. I am the best reinforcement they could have. I can fly to reach them quickly and me alone should be enough. So I want you two to lead the army to conquer Jiaxing City! This is not a request but an order!" He explained the situation.

"Then you should at least bring Wen with you," Zhang Mengyao was quite concerned. They did not know how strong these Bombyx Mori Tribes were.
"There's no need! Wen is needed here. He has important information about Jiaxing City. He should stay and help you guys," Tang Shaoyang smiled and stepped forward. He kissed Zhang Mengyao's forehead, "I should have shown you how strong I am, so you would stop worrying about me," he said that in a joking tone.
After whispering those words to Zhang Mengyao, he looked toward Wei Xi and Wen, "I will trust my army to you two!" He tapped both shoulders before he walked into the air. Rather than walking, Tang Shaoyang was running. He rushed toward the Jiaxing City direction by himself.

On the other side of the territory
Kairu and Pride encounter a big obstacle. After killing the five Fire Bombyx Mori, the two led the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe back to SH City's direction.
However, it did not take a long time before the army of the Bombyx Mori Tribes intercepted the two and the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe.
Kairu and Pride were standing side by side with two hundred and eighty-seven Light Bombyx Moris, including the Chief Helia.
The four types of Bombyx Mori were blocking them. Wind Bombyx Mori was green, Fire Bombyx Mori was red, Ice Bombyx Mori was blue frost, and Metal Bombyx Mori was charcoal gray.
The four types of Bombyx Moris surrounded them from the air. The biggest amongst them was about the same size as Chief Helia. It was the Fire Bombyx Mori General, at least that was what Helia called it.
"Have Lord Shaoyang replied to your message?" Kairu scanned flying beasts. From the look of it, their number should be more than a thousand. They almost covered his top with their numbers.
Pride shook his head, "Not yet, but we don't need reinforcement to defeat them, right?" The Demonic Ape felt that these flying beasts were nothing. They should be able to deal with them, with just two of them.

"That's not the problem but them!" Kairu pointed at the Light Bombyx Mori behind him. They had to protect the Light Bombyx Mori as well while fighting the enemies. Protecting their allies was certainly more difficult than defeating these moth armies.
Pride looked toward Helia who exchanged a heated gaze with the Fire Bombyx Mori General. The Demonic could tell the anger and hatred from her eyes, "Can you cast protection to protect yourself and your people while we fight them?" He whispered in a low voice.
Helia looked away from the Fire Bombyx Mori General and replied in a low voice, "I can, but my protection can't last long enough."
"How long will your protection last?" Kairu asked.
"Twenty minutes… No, thirty minutes. I can hold their attack for thirty minutes!" Helia replied with determination. She seemed ready to sacrifice herself to protect her kind.
"Got it. Thirty minutes should be enough…" Kairu and Pride exchanged glances before nodding their heads, "We will start the battle as soon as you cast the protection!"
"You have been surrounded, Helia! Surrender and accept your punishment. Then your tribe will be spared!" The Fire Bombyx Mori General shouted a warning.
"Surrender? Laughable, you can't send your army to help my tribe to fight the zombies, but you can gather your army to fight against us? This is laughable, Abiel!" Helia shouted furiously at the Fire Bombyx Mori. The pent-up anger burst out.
A sigh escaped from the Fire Bombyx Mori General. Abiel himself had his situation he could not speak out, "I am sorry, Helia. But this is Chief Vehiel's order. Surrender yourself, and your tribe will be spared. A wise Chief will not bring her tribe to the brink of destruction just because of a personal emotion! These two beastmen could not protect you and your tribe from my army, Helia. Just give up!"
At this moment, Pride received a message from Tang Shaoyang. The Demonic opened the message.
[Tell Kairu to go wild with his fire, I will take that as a signal to find your location!]
Pride read the message to Kairu in a low voice. As soon as the lion beastmen heard that, he grinned widely, showing his rows of shiny and terrifying teeth, "That's my specialty!"
Kairu then turned toward Helia, "Cast your protection, right now!"
Under Kairu's command, Helia immediately cast a skill, [Light Dome]. A light then formed into the shape of a dome, covering all the Light Bombyx Moris.
At the same time, Pride dashed toward the right. He leaped away from Kairu, making a distance from the Flaming Lion.
"Feel my power!" Kairu laughed loudly as a fierce flame burst out of his body. The flame exploded and engulfed a hundred meters area.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang rushed as fast as he could. He was running in the air, thanks to [Sky Walk] skill from his second class.
In a few minutes, he arrived at Jiaxing City. He got to see the flesh tower that Wen talked about. There were three of them. However, he was not able to see whether the zombies were coming out of the flesh tower. He was rushing toward Kairu and Pride, quite concerned about the two since they were fighting a whole tribe.
Another few minutes quickly passed by. Tang Shaoyang quickly found that the fire burned a big area. The fire engulfed a few hundred meters area, blazing fiercely, burning the forest and the land.
Tang Shaoyang quickly dashed down toward the area. He rushed toward the light dome. However, he was shocked at what he saw down there. A figure made of fire was standing on top of Kairu. The Flaming Lion was laying down on the ground with the back of his head being stepped down by a figure made of fire.

The Programmer's Dungeon [Progression, LitRPG]
Vincent, a college student from Earth, has been transported to another world full of strange powers and fantastic monsters. Ideally, this would be the start of his journey to become a legendary hero, build an everlasting empire, and gather a personal harem. But no one said that this new world would be easy… After escaping an assassination that accidentally befell him, he was forced to become a Dungeon Master. What will an average programmer student do when he finds out that he can code the dungeon? Vanquish those savages above with his tech and savviness — along with an army of golems? “Wait, this world isn’t even medieval?!” With all the questions piling up in his head, Vincent is set to uncover all these secrets! And… conquer the world, perhaps? The hard reboot of “The Programmer’s Dungeon.” It has an almost completely different plot, cast, and storyline, so expect tons of improvement from the old one. Disclaimer: This is a softcore LitRPG story; there are stats but no levels. Also, the LitRPG element isn’t the main focus of the story itself and is more of a support. I have enabled the reader’s suggestion, and therefore, you can correct any grammar mistakes and typos you find in the story. There will definitely be some that I miss. Cheers! The cover was made by Jack0fheart, so a shout-out for him. Releasing 3 chapters per week at 12.00 GMT on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday with at least 2000+ words.

Keepers of the Neeft
The Indigo Empire has conquered half the world’s nations, their people, and their gods. According to its citizens, old and new, the rest of the world will follow. In the capital of the Throne-home, the Imperial Academy produces the next generation of great leaders to drive that expansion. Cadryn Bence knows he will be one such leader, he’s overcome his common birth, mixed heritage, and every other obstacle to be the top of his class. He dreams of glory on the southern front against the Gravanik States. He will not be finding it. Instead, if the glory he expects. Far to the north, lies the unassumingly named North-Eastern Extreme Frontier Tower, a backwater post if ever there were one. Through the machinations of the Emperor’s state religion, and a cult within it, Cadryn will find himself on his way to this first assignment. On the frontier, Cadryn will discover that neither his campions, nor the Neeft itself, are what he expects. Follow Cadryn on his journey to discover many truths: about himself, about the Empire, and about the very world he call home. ****** Keepers of the Neeft is a (bit dark) fantasy story revolving around Cadryn and his journey of discovery. There’s a fairly wide cast of supporting characters (his fellow Keepers) all with their own reasons and motivations behind how they came to be at the Neeft. Current release plan is to have part 2 completed, then fully edit up till the end of part 2. I am in the process of editing the earlier content as I complete the updates/re-writes. Apologies for any rough content in the meantime. My primary objective with Keepers of the Neeft is to work on developing content flow and establishing a community of people who enjoy my writing style. I write SF/F and horror as my primary genres, Keepers is actually my 3rd novel length work, but my current project. Updates of new Content will currently be in the form of one larger post on Tuesdays.
