Tang Shaoyang was familiar with what Avyn felt like right. It was a similar feeling when he was famished but he only had a little food to eat. The sensation between full and hungry which he did not like. He would rather stay hungry instead of eating that little food that could not satisfy him. In this situation, it was better for Avyn not to fight than to fight such a weak opponent.

“We can—” He was about to say yes to Avyn’s idea, but his Chaos Eyes picked up something. A group of five came in his direction, running in a hurry.

“We have guests. Can you guys hide for a moment?” He signaled his spirits to hide their presence. Saʀᴄh the NvlFir.nt website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

Avyn, Vandir, Doombringer, Afi, Zara, and Karoen hid, creating a little distance while hiding their presence. It did not take long before the guests arrived. They were Eson’s party: Eson, Agnes, Castor, Timo Alain Woodgate, and Julian Heymans.

It was thanks to the barkeeper who told him who Timo Alain Woodgate was. The man with the brown hair. The one with blond hair was Julian.

Eson was leading his party and signaled his friends to stop at the sight of Tang Shaoyang. He raised his finger, pointing toward Tang Shaoyang. He was about to say something, but the words did not come out of his mouth.

He saw a trace of battle, and some blood splattered in three branches. The blood had not dried yet on the grass, along with the information from Timo. He could tell what happened.

“You are the person Vigamaur Dgaror talking about!? You killed them!?” Eson sounded surprised, not expecting the clash between Tang Shaoyang and Vigamaur Dgaror.

But Eson was not that stupid not to realize what actually happened. All the strings were connected. Tang Shaoyang was not targeting his fiancée, but Vigamaur Dgaror. Tiyana, Niere, and Gerda were part of Vigamaur Dgaror.

Without any words, Timo pulled out his sword and charged toward Tang Shaoyang. With his face full of fury, he swung his sword downward, aiming for the head.

Tang Shaoyang merely looked up, disappointed. He was disappointed because Timo was inexperienced. It would not be a stimulating fight even for him. His figure disappeared and appeared again right behind Timo. His feet landed on Timo’s back head and pushed him down to the ground.

Boom!

Along with the crash, Timo’s pained scream echoed in the forest. The dust slowly settled down and revealed the figure. Ten black swords pinned Timo down to the ground. The swords perfectly avoided the vital part, and Tang Shaoyang’s right foot was right on Timo’s head.

That happened in a flash Eson could not do anything. He thought of stopping his friend, but that remained as thoughts as Timo was taken down so easily by Tang Shaoyang.

Eson raised his blue spear, pointing at Tang Shaoyang threateningly, “Free my friend, or you will not just face Vigamaur Dgaror, but also White Mystery!”

He did not dare to make a move because he knew the chance of saving his friend directly was so low. His friend would die before he could do anything. The weird part was that Timo did not try to break free from Tang Shaoyang.

A transformation followed by a movement skill would suffice to break free. However, his friend did nothing and just whimpered in pain, enduring the humiliation. That meant one thing, Tang did something to his friend, preventing Timo from using any skills.

Eson was correct. Tang Shaoyang used Absolute Domination Energy, nullifying Timo’s energy inside.

“How long are you going to use your faction name to scare people?” Tang Shaoyang shook his head, letting out a chuckle. He pulled out Nightfall and struck Timo’s back, pushing the sword all the way down to the hilt. The grass below Timo was colored in blood, slowly forming a small pool of blood. Of course, a God Rank would not die from blood loss. It took more than that to kill a God Rank.

“Why don’t you tell your other friends to use their factions to threaten me? One of them might work.” He added in a mocking tone.

Agnes patted Eson’s shoulder twice to calm her party leader. Her eyes remained on Tang Shaoyang, “Why don’t we talk it out, Tang?”

She got to know Tang Shaoyang earlier than Castor and Eson. She thought Tang Shaoyang would listen to her and mediate the issue between Vigamaur Dgaror to resolve the conflict. That was what she thought.

“There’s nothing to talk about. My problem is with Vigamaur Dgaror. None of you are from Vigamaur Dgaror, and I will not stop you guys from leaving. NO! I advise you to leave, or I will take it that you side with Vigamaur Dgaror.”

Agnes met Tang Shaoyang’s eyes. That was not an empty threat. No, it was not a threat, but a warning. She could not tell it was not a bluff even though she did not know where that confidence came from. There were five of them, and Tang was alone. Yet, the man in front of her was overwhelmingly confident.

The female elf then remembered what Timo said a moment ago. Timo told everyone that eight members of Vigamaur Dgaror were killed. Eight against one, yet eight people were nowhere to be seen, and one person stood in front of her.

Another problem was that she did not know Tang’s faction. That made her reluctant to get involved in this problem. She did not want to drag his faction into this conflict. Especially when he did not know the root of the problem.

“What are we afraid of? He is alone, and there are four of us!” Eson noticed the hesitation in his friends.

He was infuriated with how cowardly his party was. It was just one person. Four of them should be enough to defeat Tang Shaoyang.

Castor Bach Justesen took a step forward. His stance was clear, he would follow Eson. However, Julian Heymans had a different opinion.

“We agreed to form a party only for hunting Calamity. We agreed we would never bring faction conflict into our party. I will take my leave.”

“YOU!” Eson was furious as he watched his party member’s back, returning to the city. He could not believe that Julian was afraid of Tang Shaoyang. Then he turned toward Agnes.

The female elf let out a sigh after a moment of hesitation, “Unfortunately, I have to agree with Julian. I don’t want to drag my faction into a conflict that I know nothing about.”

She bowed toward Eson slightly, “I am sorry, but this is the end of our party.” Then she left, following Julian.

Tang Shaoyang pulled out Nightfall and did not hesitate to behead Timo Alain Woodgate.
