Battle of Ascension

Chapter 494: Raid (8)

Randy was standing flabbergasted there. But he refused to budge from where he stood and looked at the surrounding vigilantly. Maybe they had a hidden trick, Randy did not dare to lower his guard down.

After a while, Randy really did not find something strange or a sign Horn would come back. This time, he was truly relieved. If Horn decided to join the fight, Randy and the alliance had to escape. At least, he would make sure his guild members safety.

"They really do not come back, " Randy muttered unbelievably. After all, Abyss Realm plus Colossus Union, it was enough to flatten the alliance.

As for why he did not afraid or escape immediately. Randy was confident that he could escape even there were fifteen Divine Grade Undead as his opponent. He has a trump card that he had not used.

"They really leave just like that!?" 

After making sure Horn and Storm Abyss was gone, Randy intended to get back. There was still Colossus Union needed to take care of. However, just as he turned his body back, two shadows flashed up from the ground.

The two shadows were David and Aleo. Aleo was another Pantheron. If he guessed right, Oleo and Aleo should be a twin? Or maybe a brother. Both had a similar name after all and from the same species.

Randy immediately summoned back his fire avatar. He was ready to fight, but he found there was no one else coming. David and Aleo were vanished and appeared as they fought.

Randy thought Nil and the others would be nearby when David and Aleo caught up. However, he could not find them around here, only David and Aleo.

Just like Randy thought, it was only Aleo and David. Nil and the others were fighting against Happy Guild core members and Sacred Tortuga core members.

Nil was telling to check what happened to Randy and the Storm Abyss. Aleo rushed here to check Randy while David was chasing after Aleo. After all, it was only him who could fight Aleo with his Shadow Elemental Power.

Aleo itself was confused as he only found Randy here. There was no sign of Storm Abyss and his brother here. He only found Randy alone. Noticing this, Aleo felt a sense of foreboding.

"I have to report this to Nil and the others!"

This was what he thought upon noticing only Randy was here. Aleo decided to run back, it did not care about David who had been chasing after him for a while.

Of course, it did not take a long time for Randy to realize there was only Aleo here. Randy summoned back his fire avatar and changed his elemental power to Shadow Elemental Power.

After that, he summoned his Shadow Elemental Domain. Two miles area covered by a black shadow, but it only lasted for a few seconds before it vanished. No, it did not vanish, but the Shadow was being absorbed by Randy and a form appeared on his back.

This was his trump card, Shadow Avatar. After mastering Fire Avatar, Randy learned to form his Shadow Avatar. He succeeded to form Shadow Avatar three days ago. This was his trump card, this was the reason he did not afraid of 12 Divine Grade Horns.

The Shadow Avatar was different from Fire Avatar. It appeared like a ghost, not a humanoid form as Fire Avatar.

Shadow Avatar was headless and had five pairs of hand. Moreover, it did not have feet, but his bottom was more like a fluttering shadow. Shadow Avatar's ten hands were also holding a black long sword. The sword was similar to the beforehand Randy's sword, Darkness.

Aleo noticed the summoned Shadow Elemental Domain which only a few seconds. It turned its head and saw Randy with his Shadow Avatar.

Badump! Badump!

Aleo's heart was beating furiously upon noticing the Shadow Avatar. Along with the appearance of Shadow Avatar, a thought appeared in its mind.

"Run! I have to run away!"

Aleo still did not have Avatar Domain, but it could summon the domain. However, summoning Shadow Elemental Domain against the person who had Shadow Elemental Power was useless.

Aleo enhanced its speed, but just as it turned its head forward, Randy and his Shadow Avatar appeared right before it.

Aleo shocked and gave a quick glance to the back. It noticed Randy and his Shadow Avatar were still there. Then it realized Randy form it saw was just an afterimage.

Aleo without hesitation activated Shadow Drive, diving inside to the shadow to escape from Randy's clutch. Randy's sword indeed missed Aleo with Aleo used his Shadow Drive, but at the same time Aleo vanished, Randy's Shadow Avatar also vanished.

It reacted to Randy's mind which predicted Aleo would use the Shadow Drive. However, at the same time, the shadow also covered a huge area once again. This was Shadow Elemental Domain, but it only lasted for a moment.

Not long after they vanished, Aleo and Shadow Avatar appeared not far from where Randy stood. They appeared at ten meters distance from Randy.

Shadow Avatar had its two swords pierced Aleo's shoulder. Aleo was trying to break free from the sword, but then a shadow loomed over it. Aleo looked up and found David also with Shadow Avatar appeared on his top.

Swoosh!

A scythe slashed toward Aleo's neck. Yes, it was a scythe, not a sword. The one who attacked was David's Shadow Avatar.

Plop!

Aleo's head slid down to the ground and blood sprayed from its neck. The body followed afterward down to the ground. Aleo was dead under Randy and David intense assault. It died with its eyes opened wide.

Randy approached Aleo's body and stored it to the Storage System. Another Divine Grade Bloodline was being collected and it was a beast with Shadow Elemental Power as its innate elemental power.

"What happened to the Storm Abyss?" David asked. Not only Aleo but David also curious about what happened to the Storm Abyss. It was just a bit unbelievable if Randy defeated Storm Abyss in a short time.

"I will tell you about it later, let's finish the Colossus Union first!" Randy replied as he had his eyes on David's Shadow Avatar.

"Why don't you summon your Shadow Avatar earlier?" Randy was also curious about this.

It could be said David's Shadow Avatar was a bit cooler than his. David's Shadow Avatar had two scythes as its weapon and it was not headless as his. It was as if David's Shadow Avatar wore a cloak and its face could not be seen. Maybe it was faceless as Randy's Fire Avatar.

As for the bottom part, it was the same as Randy's Shadow Avatar. It did not have feet.

About the Storm Abyss, it was not that he did not want to tell David now. It because would be a long story as he had to tell him about Horn. The most important now was to clean the Colossus Union.

"I want to try to kill it without summoning avatar." David's answer was simple. It could be said he wanted to test his own strength, but he realized it was almost impossible to kill a Divine Grade Beast without summoning the avatar. At least, for now, David incapable to do that.

Randy was a bit speechless after hearing the answer. However, he commented nothing at David silly action. He rushed back toward the others, it was the time to put an end to the annoying Colossus Union.

Yes, Randy took Colossus Union as annoying flies. They always came to him with an unknown purpose and then ran away after they met.

Meanwhile, Nil was facing Udin and Gusti. No, to be more exact Nil was forcing Udin and Gusti to face him. Despite losing in the number, Colossus Union held the advantage as they chose their opponent.

Kong, the golden flame king kong chose Zhen Yi as its opponent. Zhen Yi's elemental power countered Pigloin's corrosive green slime. Kong could not let Zhen Yi against Pigloin. Moreover, Kong's golden flame was countering each other against Zhen Yi's ice.

Boom!

Kong slammed down his two big arms toward Zhen Yi but failed to hit the target. Zhen Yi moved to the left and avoided Kong's arm.

She stepped back her right foot while her spear was glowing and permeating cold aura. Zhen Yi was fusing her spear skill and her Ice Elemental Power.

After a while, she thrust the spear forward to Kong's chest.

Bang!

Crystal ice splattered around, it was the impact of Zhen Yi's skill, Vandal Spear.

Kong was pushed back for three meters back, but it blocked the spear with its huge arm.

Pssshhh!

The ice that formed on its arm because of the Vandal Spear evaporated. However, Vandal Spear failed to injure Kong, nothing happened even her skill landed on it.

Zhen Yi frowned as she found Vandal Spear was failed to harm Kong. After all, Vandal Spear was a skill with big destructive power, but it failed to harm Kong.

Kong grinned and remarked, "Your skill can't harm me!"

She ignored Kong's remark. She was thinking of a way to defeat Kong. Just as Zhen Yi was thinking a way to defeat Kong, she found a familiar figure appeared behind Kong. That familiar figure was her husband, Randy with his Shadow Avatar.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Randy slashed his sword toward Kong's neck. However, Kong also discovered Randy's presence on the back. It swung his large arm that covered by a golden flame.

Randy was forced to Shadow Drive away to avoid the incoming huge arm. The sneak attack failed, at least it was his thought, but he did not expect his Shadow Avatar would appear on his opposite side.

Yes, as soon as Randy found Kong swung his arm toward him. Shadow Avatar also made its move, it used Shadow Drive and appeared in the front of Kong.

Slash! Slash!

Shadow Avatar launch its attack with its ten swords. Each sword produced a black blade that left a cut on Kong.

Graaarrrrrggghhhh!

Kong released out a pained roar. Shadow Avatar's sword broke Kong's thick defense.

Meanwhile, Randy appeared beside his wife who appeared to be surprised.

"You have killed them?" Zhen Yi asked curiously. "Them" in Zhen Yi's mouth was of course the Storm Abyss.

"No, they slipped out, " Randy shook his head and looked to his wife with a serious look, he asked back, "Why don't you summon your Avatar Domain?"

Yes, not only David but all core members had learned how to summon the Avatar Domain, Pristine included. However, he found not one of them used it despite facing against Divine Grade Beastmen which led them to disadvantage position.

"I want to try to fight them without relying on Avatar Domain!"

Her answer was the same as David's which left him speechless.

"Let's finish them off. Don't let them escape again! We have to kill them now!"

"Good!" Zhen Yi obediently nodded her head. The ice around them suddenly vanished and a figure formed on Zhen Yi's back.

Surprisingly, Zhen Yi's avatar domain was different from Randy and David. The form on her back was also her, Zhen Yi herself. It was identical, from the face, form, weapon, and all of them. Zhen Yi's avatar was her doppelganger.

Along with Zhen Yi summoned her Avatar Domain, the other Happy Guild's core members also summoned their Avatar Domain.

The chaotic surrounding calmed down now as most of the domain had formed to Avatar. The Colossus Union also realized the situation had changed, this was the real Happy Guild.
