Chapter 798. King of Beast

Chapter 798. King of Beast

Red Death didn’t back down. She activated her Trinity Assault, turning into three figures. These three figures then rotated, each one sending a torrent of slashes. Her twin daggers swirled and created uncountable images. The slashes came from all angles. Despite the cloaked soldier’s faster speed, he was having difficulty receiving Red Death’s attack. He received cuts on many parts.

That was a martial art. Jack was astounded, Red Death’s copies could also perform such complex martial art. She must have trained this move a lot.

Unfortunately, the move didn’t last indefinitely. The complex move drained Red Death’s stamina. She could only sustain it for a few short seconds. Once her movement stopped, the cloaked soldier struck. His hands turned into a blur as a flurry of stabs jabbed all three Red Deaths. The two fake Red Deaths received repeated stabs and vanished, while the real one parried a couple of stabs but was hit by the rests.

Jack sent Wind Slash which forced the soldier back and saved Red Death’s life. Peniel hurriedly cast Fast Heal on her critical health.

When Jack wanted to engage the cloaked soldier, he heard a voice, “Let me!”

A bluish-purple energy wave rushed through from Jack’s side heading to the cloaked soldier. The soldier parried using his dagger and was blasted away, large damage appeared above his head. Jack recognized this special move.

“What took you so long?” Jack asked.

“The coordinates you gave aren’t exactly here,” Domon said.

“We are in a battle. We can’t exactly stay at the same spot now, can we?” Jack argued.

“You are destroying this tower, right? You do that. I will deal with him,” Domon said and walked towards the cloaked soldier.

“Master, allow me!” Another voice uttered and a shadow rushed past both Domon and Jack. It was Leavemealone charging at the cloaked soldier.

‘Crap, not even a greeting,’ Jack thought.

As Leavemealone started clashing with the cloaked soldier, Domon turned to Red Death and said, “Cleo, that Soul Trapping Blades you executed was good, but you should just focus on doing it without the copies. Dividing your attention to your copies just increase the number of slashes but reduce their intensity. Feel the flow of the energy generated by your rotating body and let it guide your daggers.”

“Thank you for your insight, Master Domon. I’ve never been able to fully execute this martial art in our previous world. Only recently that I have managed to perform it. I know It is still far from perfect, I will practice hard to carry it to perfection.”

“Hey, you two,” Jack called out. He had been back to hacking the structures frantically. “Can you please do this discourse later? Like, when we are not in the middle of a war and being chased by time?”

One of the five level 56 special elites broke through Jack’s soldiers. He came at Jack who was still hitting the tower’s structures.

“Cleo, you help Jack break this tower. I’ll protect you both,” Domon said. He stood in the way of the incoming enemy soldier.

When the incoming soldier saw that the one blocking his way was a level 49 outworlder, who was seven levels below him, he sneered. “Die, lowly outworlder!” He yelled. He was carrying a curved short sword which created a flash of light when it stabbed.

When the stab was about to arrive, Domon roared. A roar that very much sounded like a lion’s roar. His roar created a shockwave that stopped the soldier’s assault. Not only that, but his hair also changed color to red. A thin reddish aura covered his body.

Although Jack was focusing on hacking the tower’s structure, he still spared a couple of thoughts to watch Leavemealone’s and Domon’s fight, just in case they needed help. He was astonished by his grandfather’s hair color change. Even Domon’s beard was red.

“That is the first active skill from the King of Beast bloodline,” Peniel explained. Jeanny had given back the bloodline to Domon after she copied it. Domon had fused with the bloodline before he left with Leavemealone. “That active skill is called Wrath of the Beast, it increases all his attributes and senses, as well as giving him an enhanced body recovery ability. The starting roar from that skill also has the chance to stun opponents.”

The attacking soldier was unfortunate enough to receive the stun effect while attacking, his body was now motionless for a beat. Domon didn’t waste this chance. His fist shot out and slammed the soldier squarely on the chest. A loud bang was heard and the opponent flew from the simple punch.

“Heart Exploding Punch!” Jack uttered when he recognized the move.

‘Can this move also affect natives with high HP?’ Jack wondered and looked at the soldier that had been flung away. The soldier’s HP was zero. “Damn! So, there is an instant death effect?”

“There is… but it is usually caused by a very high-level spell or skill. I can’t believe your grandfather can generate that effect so easily,” Peniel said.

“It’s not easy, miss,” Domon said when he heard their talks. “If he didn’t stop moving as he did, I won’t have been able to successfully execute the move.”

Another of the special elite enemies broke through again. A couple of Jack’s soldiers who were holding them had died, so they could break away more easily. Domon again put himself on the enemy’s path. He couldn’t do the stunning roar anymore though, so he couldn’t use the Heart Exploding Punch as before. He activated Ki Weapon to increase his glaive’s damage output.

The enemy soldier slashed and stabbed repeatedly with his curved short sword. His speed was faster than Domon’s even after Domon’s attributes were enhanced by the Wrath of the Beast skill. But Domon easily swerved to dodge the slash and stab. His foot shifted a bit every time he dodged. Jack recognized it as the Eight Diagram Illusory Steps.

Domon was not only dodging. Every time he dodged, his glaive would counterattack from the enemy’s blind spots. His glaive moved continuously without pause, striking and evading at the same time. Jack recognized the glaive’s unceasing attacks as Domon’s martial art, Soul Pursuit Hurricane, which he had briefly demonstrated during the tournament match against Spring Crown.

Domon’s feet and hands were performing two different martial arts, but he did it with such grace that it looked as if they were one art. Jack was tranced by the display that he stopped hitting the structure. Only after Peniel woke him up with a slap to the head that he resumed attacking.

The enemy soldier was frustrated. He couldn’t touch the outworlder but he was getting hit continuously by the opponent. His HP continued to go down. In his frustration, he used a skill that spun his body at high speed, cutting everything around him. Domon saw the attack’s trajectory and ducked away accurately. His glaive then burst with energy as he thrust the weapon from under the enemy that was still spinning.

The bluish-purple burst of energy indicated Domon use mana manipulation in his Ki Strike. The energy burst engulfed the spinning soldier’s body. The soldier was already low on health after Domon’s multiple attacks, this last burst of attack consumed his remaining life.

After finishing his opponent, Domon went to aid Jack’s soldiers who were still holding the other special elites.

On the other side, Leavemealone had been contending fiercely with the level 60 special elite cloaked soldier. Although Leavemealone was able to solo a special elite, the difference of eleven levels was still too large. Leavemealone was fully focused as he tried to read his opponent’s movements and react before the attacks came. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to dodge. The enemy was just too fast.

Jack noticed that Leavemealone’s hair had also changed color to red and his body was shrouded by a thin red aura. He then remembered after the Ancient Battleground, Leavemealone also chose the King of Beast bloodline following Domon.

But the boost provided by the bloodline’s active skill was still not enough for Leavemealone to rival his opponent. Leavemealone could only dodge without much chance to counterattack. Jack saw that Leavemealone might need help. Jack stopped attacking the structure and was just about to head over.

Leavemealone probably saw Jack’s attempt from the corner of his eyes. He shouted, “Do not approach! I alone am enough!”

“The hell, man! It will not be funny if you die just for trying to act tough,” Jack uttered.

Leavemealone didn’t say anything in response. Instead, a shockwave exploded from his body, staggering his opponent. Peniel informed Jack that was battle monk’s non-standard skill, Ki Outburst. It damaged and knockback all enemies within a radius of five meters.

While his opponent was unbalanced, Leavemealone’s body transformed. His body mass enlarged. White fur with black stripes grew all over his body, covering even his armor. His hands and feet turned into clawed limbs. His head became rounded. He grew whiskers and his mouth widened with sharp teeth. Long golden fur grew on top of his head, contrasting his overall white fur.

“It’s… It’s the White Tiger beast form,” Peniel uttered.

“Not just white tiger,” Carnelia had appeared and came beside Peniel while Leavemealone was fighting. “It’s the White Tiger Emperor beast form,” she informed.
