Armipotent

The Tortoine's head snapped at Afi, trying to bite him. The Urosa Warrior showed his experience with his quick reaction. He responded with a punch that landed on Tortoine's jaw, forcefully closing the mouth. However, his punch did not amount much to Tortoine, he just managed to close his mouth. The Tortoine was not even moving an inch from its original position.

Afi was about to launch a counterattack until he felt a tremendous force on his body. It was Tortoine's tail. The spike hit his body, and he did notice it coming for him.

Boom!

Afi was sent flying and crushed into the giant tree. A hole formed on the tree trunk and Afi was stuck inside. That was too fast even for Afi to react.

Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, Vandir, and Zara were also surprised. They did not expect The Tortoine could turn that fast and hit Afi with its tail. Afi might not expect that Tortoine could be that fast. No one expected that, including Tang Shaoyang.

"That's the price for his recklessness. Fighting all those weaklings made him lower his guard. For a veteran warrior to make an amateur mistake, underestimating his enemy," Vandir shook his head while pointing out Afi's mistake casually, "Are you okay, Afi?"

A shadow came out from the hole in the trunk. His fur was drenched in blood as the spike on the tail pierced through his hard hide. The Urosa Warrior looked more serious. Just like Vandir said, he underestimated his enemy. All the opponents he had fought so far were quite weak, and he managed to beat them with ease.

"This is not an individual fight. Let's try to work together, shall we?" Tang Shaoyang took out his new weapon, [Mash]. "Try not to destroy the shell and the tail. Ah, if possible we need to preserve the body as well. Let's go for the head."

"This is not an individual fight. Let's try to work together, shall we?" Tang Shaoyang took out his new weapon, [Mash]. "Try not to destroy the shell and the tail. Ah, if possible we need to preserve the body as well. Let's go for the head."

"Then let's do it," Vandir activated his skill, [Death Bind]. Hundreds of ghostly hands came out from the ground, holding down Tortoine's feet and tail.

Tang Shaoyang then jumped down, concentrating the Chaos Energy on Mash's blunt side. He came down on its head. Using a skill without activating the skill. That was what he did right now, performing [Thousand Blasts].

The Tortoine realized it could not break free from the Death Bind. Instead of hiding inside its shell, it lowered its head and headed upward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thousand booms resounded throughout the forest. Tang Shaoyang could feel that he was met with something hard. The surprising part was the fact that Tortoine managed to push him upward. The head was fine even after getting hit by Mash with Thousand Blasts. Not even a dent on Tortoine's hard head.

Tang Shaoyang pushed himself once more upward and spun in the air. He did not give up and used the same skill, Thousand Blasts. This was the first time that he failed to gain an advantage even with his upgraded Slayer Energy. Chaos Energy was a combination of Heavenly Energy and Slayer Energy. It had become even more powerful, and yet, it failed to push Tortoine.

'This is Calamity's strength.'

The second attack landed on the same spot on Tortoine's head. With the lack of moment, he managed to slam Tortoine's head to the ground, hard. Then it was followed by Avyn, freezing Tortoine from its neck up to his head.

The Tortoine's head laid down on the ground and Zara landed next to the neck. She was holding a black sword made of Void Energy in her hand. The sword went through the neck as if it were a tofu, severing the head.

Plop!

The frozen head fell to the ground, but its body was still running for the last struggle. It managed to break free from Death Bind, stomping around as its tail swayed toward the tree and slammed into the ground. It made a big scene for a while, almost thirty seconds.

Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, and Zara made a distance while watching the body spasmed weakly on the ground. That was easier than he thought. He looked toward Zara, "What was that?"

He was talking about the sword that cut through the Tortoine's neck. The sword went through easily. Its head did not dent even after two hits from Thousand Blasts with his Chaos Energy. And yet, Zara cut it through easily. He knew it was related to the Void Energy, and he wanted to learn it.

"It's not me, but Avyn. Her ice softened its neck, so that was why I could easily cut its head. If you hit after Avyn froze the head. You might blast the head. Why don't we try it for the next Tortoine?" Zara explained.

Tang Shaoyang and Vandir turned toward Avyn. The latter nodded her head, confirming Zara's explanation. He let out a chuckle, shaking his head. It seemed there were still many things that he did not know about Avyn's Frost Elemental. This might be the reason why his Archaic Spirits were scared of Avyn. She was just that powerful.

Afi returned to their side, and his fur brightened in red as his body released hot steam. He was angry at himself for making such a mistake. And now he had no chance to pay back as Zara killed the Tortoine.

"Calm down. There are still more tortoines to kill. We can start with Tortoine while scouting the area for today."

They killed Rank 1 Tortoine with ease without using [Spirit Integration] and [Bloodline Transformation]. However, that did not change his mind to keep hunting for Rank 1 Calamity. Today's schedule would be Tortoine and exploring more areas. They killed Rank 1 Calamity, but they had not really grasped how strong this Tortoine was.

"Who dares to hunt in The Sorc Clan's hunting ground!" A voice boomed out in the forest.

Tang Shaoyang was focused on his prey and Afi looked angry for his mistake. He did not realize that the bear folks were coming. The fight was short, but they made a loud commotion for sure.

Five bear folks stood on the tree behind him, and seven more bear folks were on the tree behind them.
