Chapter 1045: Even Gods Bleed – Part 1

Their skins were cut on the belly but not too deep as they managed to react in time. Gungnir gritted his teeth as it really hurt his pride that they had to gang up on Ancient Rank mortals. However, he was also aware that he was running out of time. The only way to finish the fight was to use the transformation skill. Gungnir believed that it would be easy to kill Tang Shaoyang with his transformation, but that was more shameful than having ganged up against the Ancient Rank mortal. His name would be tarnished in Nirvana as a God Rank that resorted to a transformation just to kill an Ancient Rank.         

Rumble!     

The sky rumbled once more as the Divine Lightning came after the three God Ranks. The fifth strike of the Divine Lightning was two times stronger than the fourth Divine Lightning. Gungnir directed his right hand to the Divine Lightning and absorbed it. A frown formed on his forehead as he sensed the Divine Lightning inside him, trying to harm him.     

Even though he could absorb the Divine Lightning, it was not a smooth absorption since the Divine Lightning was not his. Meanwhile, the two God Ranks used their barrier to block the Divine Lightning. The barrier broke apart, but the two God Ranks were unscathed.     

Lasius tried to look for Tang Shaoyang once more, but then he could not sense him anywhere. “Where is he?” In the next moment, he noticed a shadow loomed over him. His subconscious action was to turn around and create the following barrier. However, as soon as he turned around, Tang Shaoyang was no longer there. Tang Shaoyang mirrored his movement, and he was right behind Lasius once more.

Tang Shaoyang brought down his Titan Blade. Lasius managed to move the barrier to protect his back while he tried to get away from Tang Shaoyang’s range. Nonetheless, the barrier was not much help in blocking the Titan Blade. The blade cut through the barrier and cut Lasius’ entire right arm. The slight movement saved his life, but he had to sacrifice his right arm. Lasius took the chance to move away from Tang Shaoyang.     

At the same time, Windra came from above, lurching toward Tang Shaoyang. A windstorm hit Tang Shaoyang, sending his body to the ground.     

Boom!     

Tang Shaoyang crashed onto the ground as the dust rose. Then a blitz of lightning followed afterward, bombarding the ground where Tang Shaoyang crashed. Windra and Gungnir came near their friends. “How is it? Can you attach your arm back?”     

“This is worse than I thought. I can’t regenerate a new arm or attach my arm back until I expel the Slayer Energy. He used Slayer Energy on me. Damn it!” Lasius was holding his severed arm, enduring the pain of his wound.     

Lasius put the severed hand into his inventory. “I will try to block the next three Divine Lightning. You two focus on our target!”     

Gungnir and Windra exchanged glances and nodded. It was not a matter of pride anymore if Tang Shaoyang could land a sneak attack on Lasius. The two God Ranks cooperated to kill the Ancient Rank.     

Windra landed on the spot where Tang Shaoyang crashed, blowing all the dust away and revealing Tang Shaoyang’s figure. Windra had his eyes opened wide, surprised that Tang Shaoyang was fine after the barraged attack earlier.     

Tang Shaoyang raised his sword and activated [Thousand Blasts]. He was now aware that Slayer Energy worked on the God Ranks, so he mixed up Slayer Energy into his attack.     

Windra was not in a position to dodge the incoming sword. He gathered the wind, forming a barrier around him.     

“Stupid! Don’t try to block the Slayer Energy!” Lasius yelled from the air as soon as he noticed his friend tried to block the attack instead of dodging it.     

Bzzzt!     

Gungnir came in time, landing a kick on Tang Shaoyang’s neck. The kick pushed Tang Shaoyang down to the ground, then lightning burst out from the kick. Windra was safe, but then he noticed hundreds of red blades surrounding him and Gungnir.     

Even though he was pinned down onto the ground, Tang Shaoyang still could activate the [Slayer Blade]. Hundreds of Slayer Blades surrounded the two God Ranks. There was no space for them to escape from the Slayer Blade encirclement.     

Tang Shaoyang thought he had caught Windra and Gungnir for sure, but then he sensed a powerful aura from the sky. He then saw a figure bathed in golden brilliance, emitting a powerful aura. It was the same as Rumru, the Black Dragon’s aura, if not stronger.     

Lasius used his transformation skill. Three pairs of angeling wings on his back, and his eyes turned golden. There were another additional two pairs of hands, all of them holding a golden bow. In the following moment, Lasius shot hundreds of arrows, arrows that were made of Divine Energy. Each of the arrows was aimed at the Slayer Blades. The Divine Arrows neutralize the Slayer Blade, all of them.     

“This is unfair.” Tang Shaoyang’s muffled voice came out from the ground. He caught Gungnir’s leg and was about to slam the man to the ground, but Windra came after him. His chest was hit by Windra’s knee, sending him flying backward.     

Tang Shaoyang stabilized himself from the impact and stood thirty meters away from Windra and Gungnir. He received no damage from all the assaults he received. He had a passive defensive skill, Dispersal. It reduced the impact by fifty percent and added his Mana Barrier, Dragon Scales, and Flame Shield. He managed to survive the attack.     

‘The issue is that they haven’t used everything they have. They are still underestimating me, and I failed to take advantage of that.’     

He was aware that three God Ranks were underestimating him. He wanted to use that to his advantage; he managed to cut Lasius’s right arm, and he almost got Windra and Gungnir. However, the next thing would be harder because the three God Ranks would take him seriously.     

Rumble!         

The sixth wave of Divine Lightning came. Three Divine Lightning swoop down toward the three God Ranks.     

‘This is my last chance.’ Tang Shaoyang used [Blink] and arrived in front of Gungnir in an instant. He tried to attack Gungnir while they focused on the Divine Lightning.     

“Do you think the same trick will work on us?” Gungnir faced Tang Shaoyang with a mocked smile. Before the Titan Blade could reach Gungnir, Gungnir grabbed Tang Shaoyang’s neck. Lightning burst out from his palm, striking Tang Shaoyang’s body. Noticing that Divine Lightning came for him, Gungnir threw Tang Shaoyang down and focused on the sixth Divine Lightning.     

The lightning flash filled the sky, followed by the rumbling. Gungnir raised his right hand, receiving the incoming Divine Lightning. He tried to neutralize the Divine Lightning through his body. Gungnir’s face scrunched in pain, enduring the havoc of Divine Lightning inside his body. It took him ten seconds to neutralize the Divine Lightning; sighing out of relief, Gungnir turned his attention to the ground, where he threw Tang Shaoyang at.     

Windra and Lasius came next to Gungnir after fending off the Divine Lightning. “We have to finish him fast. The Divine Lightning becomes stronger than we anticipate. One or two more Divine Lightning, we need to use transformation to hold against it.” Lasius voiced his concern after defending the sixth Divine Lightning.
