Wild Fang shook his head to rid himself of the old memories.
What was in the past should remain in the past.
There was no need to think about a lost cause.
Usan had obviously lost his mind since then.
In the first place, Wild Fang wasn’t planning for a truce.
So many of his Disciples and Elders had died.
Only an absolute moron would simply forgive the genocidal killers.
“Have it your way,” Wild Fang said with a growl, his eyes narrowing.
A moment later, a reverberating hum left Wild Fang’s glowing body, shaking and bending the very air surrounding him.
Ethereal forms began to exit Wild Fang’s chest one after the other, which slowly gained color and depth.
Once they settled, everyone watching took deep breaths.
All around Wild Fang were dozens of peak Rank 4 beasts!
A chameleon drake, thunder serpent, azure carp, brown bulwark bull, reaper wolf and much more.
They floated midair beside him, even though some weren’t actually capable of flight.
The insurmountable pressure pressing against the island grew heavier.
Watching from afar, Liam was enthralled.
Just what was he watching?
To his mortal eyes, it just didn’t make sense.
But then again, nothing really did anymore.
It was beyond his understanding.
WHOOOM!
Tendrils of darkness and shadow coiled around Usan’s body and wrapped around him.
Unforgiven Shadow’s form slowly transformed to something fiendish.
A dark, angular, menacing-looking mask covered his face while a darkness-made armor protected his body.
Hooded slits of red light acted as ominous, unnerving eyes, visible through the narrow fissure of the demonic mask.
The armor itself was intricate with interlocking plates. It wasn’t bulky, but streamlined and fitting.
Everything was pure black.
Behind the night sky, he was basically invisible.
Right now, Usan looked like a malevolent shadow demon that abhorred light.
There was a certain hatred surrounding him, naturally felt even by the lowest ranking cultivators.
It was like he hated everything in the world.
Dense black smog spread all around the Unforgiven Shadow and tainted the air, as if he had become a fire without any blaze.
It grew and grew until it became the size of an actual cloud.
And it still continued to grow!
Slowly, Usan merged with the smoke, gently consumed by it…
And was no longer visible.
Obviously, Wild Fang didn’t sit still.
The Reaper Wolf’s fur shimmered with luminous light.
The Chameleon Drake’s green scales lit up with fire, leading to its throat. ．
The Azure Carp gushed with massive amounts of water.
The Thunder Serpent crackled with yellow lightning.
The Bulwark Bull charged forward with unnatural speed, its body coated in a chunky layer of rock.
Then, the attacks came one after the other.
The Reaper Wolf shot a blinding white beam of light through its throat.
WHOOOOM!
It lit up the island instantly as it clashed with the cloud of smoke.
The chameleon made an ear-splitting screech that sent ripples of shockwaves forward.
SKROOOSH!
Clusters of boiling red flame spewed out of the chameleon’s throat.
Right after the Azure Carp sent a colossal tidal wave from the side.
It was like a tsunami had spawned midair, converging straight towards the oozing clouds.
SHHHHHHHHHHH!
In synchrony, the Thunder Serpent finally let loose the lightning it had been charging.
KHRSHHHH!
Wild bolts of yellow lightning struck the surface of the gushing tsunami, which now crackled with electric energies.
All the while, the massive horned bull made its unstoppable charge into the clouds.
Five different attacks at the same time!
Currently, the island was filled with contrasting colors and blinding hues that painted the isolated sky.
Everyone felt the force behind those spells and abilities.
Even from that distance, it nearly flinged them off the island.
Unforgiven Shadow wasn’t idle.
WHOOOOSH!
Just then, a hundred or so shadow blades burst through the virulent clouds in a spread, intercepting each attack individually.
First was the beam of white light.
As it shot into the dark cloud, its radiance was instantly tainted.
That was natural.
The cloud was made from a Rank 5 core, and the Reaper Wolf was at the peak of Rank 4.
Even if Wild Fang was a Rank 5, the Spirit Beasts he controlled weren’t the same Rank as him.
Right after that, seven shadow-blades had clashed against the light beam’s trajectory.
It was a tug of war between opposing forces for a second, but the shadow-blades tore right through the center of the beam.
Then, it reached the Reaper Wolf in an instant.
The Reaper Wolf didn’t get a chance to cry.
SHING!
Three blades arrived at its throat, then cut off its head in one swift slash.
A moment later, the wolf’s entire body was devoured by the spreading darkness, vanishing out of existence.
The crimson flames directly infused with the massive dark clouds, consuming a wide patch of it, lingering momentarily before turning into wisps.
A massive tendril of darkness shot out of the cloud and wrapped around the chameleon—
KRCK!
Crushing its entire body limp, then devouring it.
Then came the massive tide of electrifying water.
The darkness cloud began to change shape and reform, slowly solidifying into a massive wall.
KRKHHHHH!
The tide of lightning-infused liquid smashed against the wall but couldn’t do much more than that.
Right after, a mass of shadow-blades rushed around the wave and arrived next to the Thunder Serpent and Azure Carp… tearing apart their scales from within and killing them.
Meanwhile, the bull finally closed the gap between it and the cloud.
It trashed around wildly and blew away the smoke surrounding it.
Shadow-blades attempted to pierce it, but surprisingly, the rock-made armor held strong against the slashes.
But a moment later, all of its struggles had been for nothing.
SHING!
A single arc of darkness arrived at the Bulwark Bull’s midsection.
It was cleaved cleanly in half.
Everything happened in almost an instant!
It was so fast!
Almost no one could keep up!
Right after, the remaining shadow-blades shot at Wild Fang, and the cloud slowly advanced forward as it grew in size.
