Chapter 374 - Transformation Battle
Chapter 374: Transformation Battle
As he coupled the killings with the consumption of vicious beast meat, Tang Ling’s strength quickly recovered.
Unfortunately, the Fallen Knights seemed to be the weakest enemy available as killing a single Fallen Knight would only help him recover by that much. There was also a limited number of Fallen Knights outside the building with only around 40 of them.
Thankfully, Fat Finn tried his best to buy Tang Ling more time and they worked rather well together, hence Tang Ling was granted more time.
Fat Finn’s tactic was actually simple which was to insult the Fallen Star Saintess repeatedly. For some reason, even though the white-robed figure knew that he was purposely taunting him, he got angry every time and gave up on Tang Ling to focus on Fat Finn.
As perverse as he could get, he brazenly taunted the figure at the entrance of the building and would run away whenever the other party got close.
When he got away from the white-robed figure, he would continue his perverted insults of the Fallen Star Saintess.
Fat Finn might not be a fighter, but his verbal attacks were on point. Even Tang Ling had the urge to beat him up in the midst of his massacre of the Fallen Knights.
Thus, with their outstanding teamwork, Fat Finn was able to buy Tang Ling a full two minutes with his perverted taunting and faces.
Two full minutes!
Tang Ling would never waste the precious opportunity! As his strength recovered rapidly, his killings got faster and faster.
When the number reached 52/100, all the Fallen Knights in the front yard were killed. Tang Ling even managed to kill a Demon Seed in the process. He felt that through this quick massacre, a fifth of his strength had recovered, and if he continued eating vicious beast meat, he could probably reach a quarter of his prime form.
It’s still not enough!
When Tang Ling picked a torch up from the ground, Fat Finn ran out of the building, crying and looking as hideous as he could.
The figure in white was not an idiot after all. He noticed that the duo was working together to clear the knights, but he himself had something else in mind. Furthermore, there were rules that he could not break, thus he did not stop them right away.
Even so, the figure was a person with normal emotions. His anger reached a critical point after being toyed around by Fat Finn over and over again. With his exploding anger, he disregarded the rules and concerns and shrieked.
After that, a black-robed figure led a group of Fallen Knights out of the building and stood guard in front of the entrance.
Fortunately, Fat Finn was fast. Screaming, he ran out of the building when he sensed that something was not right. “Save me, bro! I can’t hold them anymore!” Two rivers of tears gushed out from Fat Finn’s eyes as he was really frightened when he saw the white-robed figure standing in front of him and the horse.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Ling took the lamp out from his backpack and held it in his arms before he raced towards the white-robed figure.
However, the figure did not even care about him. He only cared about killing Fat Finn who had provoked him. Then, Tang Ling hurled his dagger.
Tang Ling’s mastery of the dagger was probably the best among his skills. The dagger techniques that he had learned from Lionel had evolved through time and battles, and he was able to realize even more techniques from his experience.
Tang Ling used the flinging technique when he hurled the dagger. With a quarter of his original strength, the dagger that he hurled out was as deadly as a bullet from a gun. Even if the figure in white was powerful, he would still have to dodge the flying dagger.
As he dodged the flying dagger, Fat Finn got the chance to escape while Tang Ling ran up to the figure. Without a second thought, Tang Ling thrust the Blood Bulrush Sword towards the white-robed figure with a swirling gale around it.
The figure was extremely incensed by Tang Ling and Fat Finn’s little games, so he did not hold back anymore and just wanted Tang Ling and Fat Finn dead.
In the next moment, after evading Tang Ling’s knife, the white robes fluttered and his back was engorged.
As Tang Ling expected, the white-robed figure had been holding back until now. He must have been concerned about something which must be some secret or something else inside the building that worried him, hence his patience towards Tang Ling and Fat Finn.
To the figure’s surprise, Fat Finn seemed to know some internal secrets about the Fallen Star Church. He knew about the Fallen Star Saintess. Meanwhile, Tang Ling’s destructive power was astonishing as the more he fought, the stronger he became.
These two disgusting insects caused a lot of trouble, so he must end this as quickly as possible.
Tang Ling was correct about the white-robed figure’s mentallity, and he finally forced the figure to bring out his true powers.
Nevertheless, he dared not underestimate the white-robed figure. He shouted and activated the little seed! If he did not use his strongest form right there and then, even if he had more tricks under his sleeve, he did not have the confidence to overcome the figure!
“Holy sh*t! What’s going on!?” Fat Finn finally caught his breath. He was bad at fighting but was rather smart in reading the situation. While Tang Ling got tangled up with the figure in white, Fat Finn rode the horse to the center of the front yard and picked up the alloy longsword that Tang Ling had tossed out earlier. He even retrieved the alloy dagger together.
After he got the weapons, he witnessed the transformation of the white-robed figure!
The white-robed figure’s back was becoming rapidly engorged, but it flattened just as quickly too. After his back returned to normal, his entire body was transformed.
His body grew rapidly and tore the white robes apart, revealing his skin that was covered in black scales. The scariest thing was his limbs that split up and formed new pairs of limbs on his body. He bared his upper torso and a crack appeared in the center of his stomach. Then, the crack widened and a loud growl was heard as dagger-like teeth appeared in the crack.
This form was a familiar one. It was very similar to the Demon Seed that Tang Ling had killed earlier.
Meanwhile, Tang Ling also transformed. He grew bigger in size and his muscles bulged while his skin turned into a slightly coppery color.
Fat Finn might be weak, but he was not dumb. He knew that Tang Ling had a war seed within him upon their first encounter and it did not seem like a one-time consumable type. It should be a growth-type war seed.
What a rich bastard! I wonder which major faction he’s from back in the real world.
Fat Finn was jealous as he envied how Tang Ling could bring out the potential of a war seed besides the fact that he possessed a battle-type war seed. Even with bitterness bubbling in his heart, he did not forget about what Tang Ling had told him.
Once the white-robed figure unleashed his real strength, Fat Finn’s target would be to destroy it and he must work along with Tang Ling at the appropriate timing.
Therefore, before the two of them completed their transformations, Fat Finn rode the horse ahead.
He then hurled the dagger that he picked up earlier. He did not have Tang Ling’s hurling technique, but he was getting nearer while moving forward on a horse, so even if the dagger could not inflict serious damage with its momentum, his aim was still precise.
However, this time around, the figure did not dodge the dagger. Four of his limbs multiplied into six and became the appendages of an insect. He extended one of them which grew longer than a normal limb as he deftly caught the dagger that Fat Finn hurled over. The sharp appendage clamped down on the dagger strongly. Even though he did not break the Grade A alloy, the dagger was heavily deformed.
Fat Finn shuddered in fear, but he continued casting out the alloy longsword. He nimbly lowered his body from the horse and picked up the weapons of the Fallen Knights, flinging whatever he picked up at the white-robed monster without hesitation.
The hurling of the weapons was not threatening at all, and he did not even stop the monster from transforming.
It was then that Tang Ling completed his transformation. He grabbed the oil lamp that he held in his arm and tossed it at the monster.
Many things were hurled at the monster, but none of them were threatening. Still, the white-robed monster’s anger rose to new heights.
There was one last step before his transformation could be completed—the fusion.
As for whatever Tang Ling tossed over, he blocked them without even looking. When he deflected the oil lamp, it was smashed and the oil splashed all over the monster’s body.
At the same time, Fat Finn was still throwing whatever he could get his hands on at the monster. He finally completely enraged the monster.
The white-robed monster did not care about Tang Ling and his transformation and dashed towards Fat Finn. One of his appendages suddenly extended by more than 5 meters in length and grabbed the horse that Fat Finn was riding.
“Mommy!” Fat Finn squealed in panic, but as Tang Ling expected, a coward was always skilled at escaping. Indeed, Fat Finn was amazing at dodging!
While screaming, he jumped away from the horse and ran away for his life in the opposite direction.
At that instance, Tang Ling made a move. His strength might have been temporarily taken away by the Dream Domain, but the strength of the little seed remained.
The little seed had grown stronger after all the feeding. It did not only increase Tang Ling’s strength by a quarter of his basics, but it even granted him a new powerful defensive ability—Copper Skin!
How powerful was it? Absurdly powerful! Tang Ling might not have transformed in his prime, but after the transformation, he was boosted beyond his prime and he also got an extremely powerful defense ability.
He could fully utilize the Precise Instinct’s ability in his current form! Tang Ling always wanted an extreme battle to remind him of that magical state that happened during the Hell Ledge Challenge! After all, he knew he was just a step away from breaking through a certain barrier.
Spirit visualization was activated.
The body structure of the white-robed monster appeared before Tang Ling’s eyes.
Tang Ling charged towards the monster and rammed into it with his shoulder. He drove into the monster at the weakest spot of his body, and despite his effort, his shoulder still hurt immensely after ramming into something so hard.
The monster staggered backward and blood suddenly spewed from his appendage that was holding the horse.
“What are you?!” the monster finally spoke in a strange tone after looking at Tang Ling!
