Armipotent

Chapter 572 - Vicious Cycle

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear that from a beast. Beasts or animals lived by their instinct not feeling. He was surprised that there was a beast that was more humane than a human itself. He had seen a fair share of the humanʼs cruelty even before the game started.

His former Bossʼ nephew had done the most terrible thing to his girlfriend before. That man was not even close to this beast. Of course, he was not going to say that he was a good guy as well. However, It was a big surprise that came from a beast.

”What about the people who killed you? Donʼt you want to avenge your death and your familyʼs death as well?” Tang Shaoyang asked Vera as he flew back toward the stone pillar. He was going to activate the next wave and finished the trial as fast as possible.

—I donʼt need anyone to avenge me. I have accepted my death, and itʼs because I am weak. Thatʼs a vicious cycle of life. You will become prey if you are weak. Just like how we hunt the weaker beast for food. I am weak, and the human killed me.

Yet the beast gave him another surprise with his answer. The beast was more mature than he thought, ”Donʼt you hate humans then?” By the time he asked this he had arrived at the stone pillar. He placed his hand on it and started the eleventh wave.

[The Trial of the Epic will continue to the eleventh wave!]

[The eleventh wave will spawn in five minutes!]

——————————

[Eleventh Wave]

Composition: 210,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 150,000 Stage 5 Monsters, 65,000 Stage 6 Monsters, 25,000 Stage 7 Monsters, 10,000 Stage 8 Monsters, 3,250 Stage 9 Monsters, 10 Epic Rank Monsters

Countdown: 00:04:55

——————————

ʼWuuu, the number of the Epic Rank Monster is doubled. This is a good thing,ʼ Tang Shaoyang thought to himself, ʼNow I have five minutes to chat with this interesting beast,ʼ He was interested in Vera.

—I hate humans!

It was an expected answer for someone who was killed by humans. There was no way that the beast did not hate humans. Then he came up with something, ”But I am a human, why do you want to be contracted with a human you hate?” He wanted to know the adolescent Inferkostʼs reaction to this statement.

—I know you are a human but you are not the one who killed me or killed my family, Master. I donʼt hate you. You have done nothing to me. I hate humans who killed me and my family but not you.

If he was surprised before, Tang Shaoyang was shocked this time. Vera was more mature than he thought. The Beast understood that humans were not a single entity.

”But what if your sister is killed by humans? Are you still not going to hate me?” Tang Shaoyang threw another tricky question. Vera seemed to love his sister too much, and it might be the trigger for him.

—Hahh… It will be a lie if I donʼt upset the human race but just like I said, Master. In the vicious cycle of life, if you are weak then you will be hunted by the strong. But yes, I will be upset and angry but again, it will not bring my sister back alive. Maybe I will sulk for a few weeks, and if that happens I wish you would understand if I donʼt talk with you for a moment.

”I see…” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. He could not provoke the beast. Vera became a spirit with regret that he could not watch his sister grow up. The beast wanted to see his grown-up little sister.

He did not expect that one day he would encounter such a thing. Love for his sister was the push for him to be a spirit. That was admirable as he could not do the same for the kids in his orphanage. Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

He then opened his window status to check on his mana. Maintaining the transformation consumed a lot of mana. He had to watch his mana consumption, just in case that he would face a strong monster, ”Hmmm, I can maintain the transformation for another three to four hours then I will preserve my mana for the next waves,”

Right after his conversation with Vera was over, he felt the vibration on the ground. The vibration was slightly stronger than the beforehand wave as more monsters spawned this time. He did not wait for the wave to come as he flew toward the vibrationʼs direction.

***

The same as the beforehand wave, it took Tang Shaoyang less than ten minutes to finish the eleventh wave with his transformation activated. Of course, the Ten Epic Rank Monsters were still Warbear. After that, he activated the [Epic Summoning].

[You have summoned Grade S+ Spirit, Ronan the Helion Wolf!]

Rona was similar to a werewolf that reached three and a half meters in height. He had the body of a human and the head of a wolf with black-red fur covered his neck down to his chest. The deep red eyes showed the cruelty of a monster he had never seen before.

There was no talk between the two as Tang Shaoyang subdued the spirit in the battle. The battle power between Ronan and Maldros was about the same but he crushed Ronan harder than the Black Storm Dragonewt.

[You have established a contract with Grade S+ Spirit, Ronan the Helion Wolf!]

***

Tang Shaoyang proceeded with the next wave.

[The Trial of the Epic will continue to the twelfth wave!]

[The twelfth wave will spawn in five minutes!]

——————————

[Twelfth Wave]

Composition: 250,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 180,000 Stage 5 Monsters, 80,000 Stage 6 Monsters, 33,000 Stage 7 Monsters, 13,000 Stage 8 Monsters, 4,000 Stage 9 Monsters, 20 Epic Rank Monsters

Countdown: 00:04:59

——————————

After defeating the twelfth wave, he cast his summoning skill. He repeatedly did the same things for hours. Fighting, clearing the wave, summoning the spirit, fighting against the spirit, and establishing a contract with the new spirit… It was a cycle he did in the trial of the Epic.
