[You are quite moody today]

Avyn commented through the telepathic communication. The Kankara’Xeo never saw this side of Tang Shaoyang. Getting angry for no reason, was what she saw from her perspective.

She felt like Tang Shaoyang was not the type of someone who was angry just because the demon annihilated a kingdom. The only time she saw him angry was when someone tried to harm his family. That was his reverse scale.

It was different this time, his family was not involved. Even though she shared the same view and felt what he felt at that time. Avyn just could not understand the reason why he got so angry and went so far to an unknown kingdom.

This was not Tang Shaoyang she knew. He might be upset and bothered by what the demons did. But he would not go this far to get back at the demon. She thought he would take this calmly and proceeded as he planned earlier, taking the demon under his wing.

His anger changed his decision to take the demon and decided to use the demon as a tool for his soldiers to level up. Not that she disagreed with him. Either method would yield the same result, and The Tang Empire would grow stronger.

Avyn was just curious about what made him so angry. She thought she understood him, but this proved that she was far from it.

“I am indeed quite moody….” Tang Shaoyang agreed with the comment instead of explaining why he was angry.

First, he was annoyed that his time with his daughter was cut short. Second, he could not unsee those dead children might happen to his daughters. He imagined what if those dead children were his. That was what would happen if he lost the war in the future. Not just the war against The Nirvana Alliance but also the potential enemies in the future.

Especially when Earth entered the third phase where the other worlds could invade his world. That was what crossed his mind when he saw those dead children. That was what made him angry.

Especially when a realization hit him. A realization that he was slacking after the fight against the Divine Church and the other two Alliances. What happened to the Artorakh Kingdom reminded him that The Tang Empire might suffer the same fate.

He was angry at himself, and he was also angry at the demon for doing such a brutal thing. The demon did not need to put those children’s heads in their spears or even hang their bodies on the wall. Fueled by annoyance, that was what made him burst out earlier. He wanted Korlon to feel the same as the parents who lost their kids in this invasion.

Tang Shaoyang shook his five heads and threw Korlon’s body down, next to the Demon Sovereign’s body. He ordered his spirits as well as the skeletons to gather all the demon bodies. Throwing all the bodies below him.

He also took out several bodies along with the part of Calamity summoned by Clown God. The skeletons and the spirits backed away, making a space for Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang directed his hands toward the sacrifices and muttered in a low voice, “Spirit Summoning.”

All the dead bodies poofed into the black smoke. The black smoke thickened as the temperature rose. In the following ten seconds, black fire lit up in the center of the black smoke.

The black fire spread out, turning the black smoke into the black fire. Within the blink of an eye, the temperature rose to the boiling temperature.

Then the black fire shot up to the sky, turning the sky dark as the cloud turned into black fire. The black fire spread, covering the sky, raising the temperature further.

Screech!

An authoritative screech resounded. The voice came from beyond the black fire sky. Then a big creature went past through the black fire, revealing its appearance.

The creature was made of black fire, from the back to the tail. There were two things that were not black on the creature, the fire crown, and the eyes.

It had bright dark-red rose eyes, glowing, and a dark-gold fire crown above its head. The creature circled above the Demon Citadel until it came down, floating in front of the five-headed dragon.

The creature had its eyes met with Tang Shaoyang’s eyes with its wings fanned out, giving off the arrogance and dignity of a Ruler. It did not show fear. Instead, it challenged the five-

headed dragon’s authority.

Tang Shaoyang was not surprised by the creature’s bearing after the notification. He might summon a spirit at the same level as Avyn or maybe stronger.

[You have summoned an Archaic Spirit, Baccara – The Ruler of Sky, The Ruler of Infernal Realm, and The Scourge of Heaven!]

This was the first time a spirit with three titles. It showed the titles, so he did not know what type of bird was in front of him. It looked like a Phoenix, though he never saw a real Phoenix. That just came up in his mind, this thing was a phoenix.

Baccara had a smaller build compared to Tang Shaoyang’s True Dragon form. Despite being smaller, once it opened the wing, it looked about the same size as Tang Shaoyang. Its wing was that wide, and it looked like its wing dominated the portion of its body.

“I did not expect a cursed dragon would summon me….” It stopped midway as it sniffed something of Tang Shaoyang, “There’s another smell in you. The smell that’s not supposed to be in you.”

Tang Shaoyang did not understand what she said aside from that he was known as a cursed dragon. He was not surprised because The System named his bloodline Wicked Dragon.

Baccara closed her eyes and muttered, “This is a nostalgic smell…. The smell that I can never forget in my life, even in my death. The smell of Kankara’Xeo,” her eyes shot up and looked Tang Shaoyang in the eyes.
