Armipotent

The knight's death, which seemed to be the leader of this camp, did not deter the other knights from fighting. The black knights swarmed toward the group of four.

The Clown Troupe consisted of The Black Knights, Black Mage, and Assassin. They were different from the other six God's forces.

The black fire flew toward the group as the knights created encirclement. Despite losing their head, they did not scatter. They fought in order until their death. Of course, no matter how disciplined or how good their mentality was. It was just impossible for them to win against The two God Ranks.

The Clown Troupe was slaughtered, leaving no one alive to tell the tale.

"So this is the barrier," After taking the high-ranking bodies, Tang Shaoyang approached the barrier that protected the Osligia Kingdom from the God Rank's invasion.

"Do you know how to break into the barrier, Your Majesty?" Hemlin asked.

"There's no need for me to break the barrier," Tang Shaoyang walked past through the barrier and turned around.

Forlan and Hemlin were dumbfounded to see this. They did not see Tang Shaoyang doing anything to the barrier, and yet he could pass through the barrier.

That only meant one thing, Tang Shaoyang was a Demi-God Rank. The realization shocked Forlan. He could not believe that he was being deceived by his friend.

His old friend told him that the man was a God Rank. That must be the case for Tang Shaoyang to kill three God Ranks. But It was all lies.

He was about to vent his anger on his friend. Then he saw Hemlin was even more shocked than himself.

Hemlin's eyes opened wide in shock. Then he realized that he had not witnessed how Tang Shaoyang fought. However, he saw the bodies, three of God Rank's bodies. That was not a lie, but how?

How did a Demi-God Rank possess summons that were stronger than the God Rank?

"Remember, Avyn! Clown God is mine!" That was Tang Shaoyang's last word before leaving them in the forest.

"Why are you so surprised?" Avyn then squinted her eyes at Forlan, "You look like someone who got betrayed. He never lied to you, and he mentioned that he is a God Rank too."

"But you still tricked me!" Forlan's aura flared out, and his eyes turned red.

"Tricked you? When did we ever trick you?" Avyn let out a chuckle, "Your shallow experience will lead to your death." She shook her head.

Forlan turned to his right and grabbed Hemlin's collar, "You lied to me, Hemlin!" He raised his voice.

"Lie? Lie my ass!" Hemlin pushed Forlan. He was the one who shocked me the most. It was just hard to believe that a Demi-God Rank was stronger than a God Rank, "I saw everything with my eyes, his summons brought Rubia and Seanic's bodies!"

Avyn shrugged and turned around. She intended to amuse herself by visiting the other camps.

"Where are you going!?" Forlan's voice was coated with killing intent.

The agreement between him and Tang Shaoyang was just a mere verbal agreement and contract. It was not set yet. He could still kill them, and nothing would happen to him.

Avyn halted her steps and turned around with a big smile on her face, "I like this. Fighting you will be more entertaining than fighting those mobs. I just need to be careful not to kill you." She was willing to play a game with Forlan. In fact, that was what she wanted.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow as he just received a message from Avyn, telling him to transform and as well use Wrath of Slayer. He did not know why Avyn asked him to do that. Knowing Avyn, she must be reminded of him out of concern.

"This is different than Lunea's power," He thought the barrier was related to Lunea's Time Power.

Back then, Lunea used her domain which froze the time except for him and her. That was when they first met and had a conversation. He thought the domain might be related to her Time Power.

It was not the case because there was no difference between the barrier and the outside. He did not feel anything special.

Hemlin told him to just go straight from this path. He must go through two powerful fortresses of the Osligia Kingdom to reach The Temple of Light.

The frost was filled with the brimming trees, covering the land from the sun. The cool breeze and temperature were comfortable inside. Despite the thick leaves, the sunlight still reached the ground through many small gaps between the leaves. It was a good place for camping.

He could not help but think about the camping because of Li Yue and Li Jiaying, and also his daughter. That was his first outing with his family, and yet it was foiled by the Adventurer Guild.

Remembering it just got him into a bad mood. At the same time, he got a lot of uninvited guests. He had seen them from afar, and these uninvited guests were what made him remember about his family. They were elves, and they reminded him of Ava.

"I came to meet Lunea in the Temple of Light. My name is Tang Shaoyang,"

He attempted to resolve the issue with a talk. He hoped Lunea told her people about him and their promise so they did not have to fight.

The uninvited guests did not respond. It was just the wave of leaves that could be heard.

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, "I see and sense you from afar. Lead me to The Temple of Light!"

Only then a male elf came out from the hiding spot. They wore leather armor, holding a green wooden bow and a quiver on his back. Two short swords hung on his waist. Their equipment was too similar to the elf he knew.

The male elf threw a small sack and rope down, "Tie your hands and cover your face with the sack then we will lead you to The Temple of Light."

Tang Shaoyang noticed the energy inside the rope through his Dragon Eyes. The rope prevented him from using energy. But that was enough to restrain him, and he could sense their emotions that they did not trust him. If he followed their instruction, he believed they would throw him into the dungeon instead of leading him to the Temple of Light.

"Hahh…." He let out a long sigh, "Why do people like you guys always choose the hard way instead of confirming my identity to The Temple of Light?" This reminded him of the Orin Kingdom, his encounter with Tisha.

He told them his identity, but they did not trust him. They did not even bother to confirm his words with The Temple of Light.

The elves did not budge.

"Let's do it the hard way then!"
