It was a monster but it was not a goblin despite the resemblance between the two. Dark Phantom was taller, twice taller than the goblin, and had a more robust frame, not skinny like the goblin.
It had the same dark skin. As he lowered his gaze down, he noticed the Dark Phantom did not have physical feet. Yes, it was floating in the air as half of its feet blended in the darkness of its shadow.
Aside from the class and what kind of monster it was, the [Basic Detection] gave him question marks for everything else. He could not even see the level of this phantom guy.
The Dark Phantom floated in the air as the scythe rested on its shoulder. It had its eyes closed as well.
"This is not the laboratory…" Kang Xue muttered in confusion. She did not look forward as she walked, so she bumped into Tang Shaoyang.
"Uh?" She looked up and met with Tang Shaoyang's heavy gaze. She never saw this kind of expression before, she was caught off guard, "Get out, NOW!" She heard the man ordered her to get out.
"Enemies ahead, get ready to engage!" Tang Shaoyang instructed and turned his head toward the 11 figures. It was just a split second that he turned away from the figure when he turned back, he saw Dark Phantom open its eyes.
It was pitch black eyes with no pupil, totally black. Right after that, the Death Reaper rushed toward him. The distance between them was around 20-25 meters, but the Dark Phantom arrived in front of him in the next two seconds.
Tang Shaoyang swung the battle-ax downward. He thought the Dark Goblin would pause and try to block his battle-ax. However, he did not see the sign of this thing would block his Destroyer. Death Reaper just rushed forward without caring about the incoming ax.
Whoosh!
The battle-ax passed through the Dark Phantom's body. Not only that, but it also passed through his body.
Bam!
The Destroyer struck the steel floor. Just like smoke, the Dark Phantom's figure blurred when the battle-ax passed through the body.
Tang Shaoyang turned around and saw the Dark Phantom was floating above Kang Xue. It raised the scythe ready to behead the girl. He released his grip from the battle-ax, squatted down, and tackled the girl.
Kang Xue's vision turned upside down as acute pain hit her heels. But then, she saw the big scythe flashed ahead of her. If she was still standing, she was pretty sure the scythe would slice her neck.
Tang Shaoyang then leaped out as he caught the girl who was still in the air. Both were rolling on the hard ground. He then pulled the girl to stand up and push her toward the exit, "Get out if you don't want to die!"
Kang Xue's body followed the order as her mind was in a mess. It was so close, she was so close to the death door. Not the first time but this one was the scariest. She rushed out of the laboratory.
"You guys take care of the Death Scythe, I am going to take the big guy head-on!" He instructed his people as his gaze locked at the floating Dark Phantom.
At this moment, the others had seen their enemies. They immediately raised their weapons as their gaze locked on the ten figures behind the Dark Phantom.
"Lure the Death Scythe away from me!" Tang Shaoyang was not confident to face them together after the bizarre event just now. It was as if the Dark Phantom did not have the physical body, but he was sure if he did not save the girl just now, he believed she would die for sure.
'Now how should I fight the guy that does not have the physical body?' he thought about how to fight the big guy while his eyes locked into his Destroyer behind the Dark Phantom, 'There must be a way to kill this guy,'
"But be careful, these cuties are high-level ones!" As he warned his people, he walked to the side separating himself from the group.
The floating Dark Phantom's eyes followed his movement. It was targeting Tang Shaoyang, "Good boy! Follow me, we are going to fight in another place, not here…"
He picked Kang Xue's scythe from the ground. Since he did not have his battle-ax, he had to pick the light scythe. He furrowed his brows slightly as the scythe was too light. As someone who used the heavy battle-ax, the scythe was too light for him.
Even though the Dark Phantom's eyes looked at him, it was just for a moment. As Tang Shaoyang was getting away, it turned away from him and looked to the group. It was as if the Death Reaper had lost interest in him.
Since he failed to lure the creature away from his people, Tang Shaoyang had no choice but to rush to the Death Reaper. He shortened the distance between the two shortly.
Once again, the Death Reaper turned toward him. The moment it looked his way, Tang Shaoyang threw the scythe in his hand toward the chest. Once again, the scythe merely passed through the Dark Phantom's body.
The Death Reaper raised its big scythe and swung it downward. As for Tang Shaoyang, he immediately rolled forward.
Bang!
The scythe hit the gap between his leg and struck the hard ground. The moment it raised the scythe to swing the scythe was so fast. Fortunately, despite its super-fast swing, the attack was easy to predict.
He rolled to the back of the Dark Phantom and picked up the Destroyer. At this moment, he noticed his people were dazing out in their original spot.
"What the f*ck are you doing, F*ckers?" He yelled to the group, "Enjoying watching me fight this guy, huh? What about if you guys care about this guy and I will face the Death Scythe instead?" He added sarcastically.
Only after the yell, the group moved out toward the ten Death Scythes who were still standing in the center of the small dome. Leaving more space for Tang Shaoyang and the Dark Phantom.
The Death Reaper glanced at the group for a moment. It was just a moment before it focused back toward him.
"That's right, you should focus on me, only me!" Even though he did not know whether the monster could understand him, he kept speaking to the monster.
Swoosh!
Maybe the monster understood him, it flew toward him. Tang Shaoyang did not run or try to dodge, he risked it to face the Dark Phantom head-on.
[Spirit Integration]
Of course, he activated the [Spirit Integration]. The moment the Dark Phantom arrived in front of him, a lion-like roar came out of his mouth.
[War Cry]
[War Cry activated, Boosting your attributes by 20% for five minutes!]
Tang Shaoyang activated [War Cry] immediately, testing whether this skill would work against the Dark Phantom or not. The answer was negative as it raised the scythe. This time, Tang Shaoyang noticed black smoke covered the scythe's blade. Even though [War Cry] failed to stop the monster, he braced himself to prepare to block the attack.
Swoosh!
At the same time, he thrust the battle-ax upward.
Clank!
This time, the scythe did not pass through the Destroyer. It met in the air and caused a loud clanking noise. At the same time, he noticed something. The Dark Phantom's feet, it was no longer black smoke but real feet, showing the physical feet.
"Urghh!!" Veins bulged out from his arms, the force behind the scythe was not a joke even he was in [Spirit Integration]. The steel ground sunk as he was suffocated.
"Huhhhh…" as he negated the attack, he let out a long breath. Tang Shaoyang did not waste his time, he reflected the scythe away and sent a flying kick to the Dark Phantom's crotch.
This time, his kick did not pass through the Dark Phantom's body. The kick hit the monster and the Death Reaper flung back from the impact.
A delighted and surprised look mixed surfaced on Tang Shaoyang's face. After the flying kick, he fell to the ground but he immediately stood again. He saw the Dark Phantom was 7 meters away from him. The kick did not knock it down, but he was delighted nonetheless.
"Kukuku… Got you~," his usual trademark grin came back as his eyes locked on the Death Reaper, "I am going to reap your life now," he licked his lips.
