Armipotent

1385 Angry Bull (2)

One of the knights approached three Cardinals who just arrived on the wall. Carlos Artura took the initiative to receive the knight instead of letting his fellow Cardinals speak with the knight. He did not know what they might do to this poor knight who was sent to meet the Cardinal.

"Greetings, The Honored Cardinals!" The knight bowed his head respectfully, "I am here to convey the message from Apostle Ayrin. We, The Harmony Temple, ask for The Adventurer Guild and Cardinals not to interfere with the fight. We will deliver the Divine Judgment to the sinners who have destroyed The Sacred Temple of Goddess Rubia!"

Carlos Artura expected the Harmony Temple to ask them for cooperation. That was why he decided to greet the knight himself. He did not want the arrogant prick Eleventh Cardinal to ruin their chance to cooperate. However, he did not expect that The Apostles asked them not to intervene in the fight.

He raised his hand, stopping The Eleventh Cardinal to lash out. They could not show their ugly side to the Apostles first. He did not want to embarrass Sir Hemlin with how they behaved against the Apostles.

"Tell Apostle Ayrin that we also received a mission from Sir Hemlin to eliminate the threat to the Adventurer Guild. We can't give our promise not to fight our enemy when he has destroyed the six branches."

Right after he replied to the knight, the bell on the city wall rang. The bell indicated the enemy was coming for the city. Carlos Artura approached the edge to see which lunatic dared to fight The Adventurer Guild and The Temple at the same time.

To his surprise, only one person came out of the forest. And to his surprise as well, that one person was familiar to him as well. He had seen the face for sure, but he forgot where he saw that face.

"Buahahahaha…." The Eleventh Cardinal let out a boisterous laughter, "We came in vain, heh? He's just alone, and you alone should be enough to kill that man, Carlos."

Tang Shaoyang looked up at the city wall as the laughter interrupted him. He was not familiar with the city wall, showing how much the city had changed in the last ten years. This was the second time he attacked the city, but this time the wall looked sturdier and stronger than before.

He looked up at the person who laughed, but then his eyes locked on the figure next to the person who laughed. He set his eyes on the familiar face, the baldy. There was no doubt that he had seen the baldy before. Frowning as he tried to recall his memories, it did not take long for him to remember the face and also the name.

"No wonder I felt the name was familiar. Carlos Artura, The Waskin Adventurer Guild's Guild Leader," He muttered in a low voice. The face and the name finally came into his mind because he had an encounter with Carlos. Carlos tried to persuade them to make peace with The Temple back then.

"Long time no see, Carlos!" Tang Shaoyang could not help but shout the name, "But wait, didn't I kill him back then?" He remembered fighting Carlos Artura back then, and he won the battle until The Clown God descended.

"You!" Carlos Artura's eyes widened as he remembered his worst nightmare back then before the game. How he lost to this man and was tortured in front of many people. His body shook as he remembered his worst nightmare.

Back then, he thought he would die in Tang Shaoyang's hand for sure, but The Clown God saved him by descending. Thanks to Clown God, the main cause that started The Game in Aqura. With the notification that The Game started, all his wounds recovered, and he was alive because of that. If not for Clown God, he would die.

"I thought I killed you? How did you survive?" Tang Shaoyang grinned as he was not expecting to meet the familiar face, "You never changed, heh? You are always ready to lick The Temple's ass to gain their favor. For the second time, you made the wrong decision yet again," His face changed to cold and murderous as he realized Carlos Artura was the mastermind who tried to kidnap his family.

"What's the meaning of this, Sir Carlos? Do you know him?" Vazha frowned and turned toward Carlos. The same for The Eleventh Cardinal and also the five Apostles. They clearly wanted to know what happened between Carlos and this unknown man.

"It's a long story, back before the game started. We can talk later, but shouldn't we focus on him first? Don't underestimate him. He has a Dragon Bloodline!" Carlos warned his fellow Cardinals, and he said it quite loud to make sure the five Apostles heard him as well. He wanted them to go all out from the start and not underestimate Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang wasted no time as he used The Dragon Transformation and Spirit Integration with Zara. Then he followed with Wrath of Slayer, boosting his attributes to over a hundred stars of God Rank.

"I hope you can entertain me longer than our last meeting, Carlos!" Tang Shaoyang directed his right toward the city wall.

The space deformed and cracked before it formed into a spiral black hole, destroying the city wall and sucked everything into the void. The screams of the adventurers echoed in the air as no one expected the fortified wall would be destroyed just like that.

Carlos and the two Cardinals jumped away from the wall, and Carlos's body shook as he was being reminded of the past.

'NO! I have become much stronger in the last ten years. I am the Ninth Cardinal! I will not lose to him again!' Carlos Artura roared as he used the Bloodline Transformation.

Two horns protruded out of his forehead, and he became much taller, five meters tall. The ash fur covered his back, shoulder, and feet. His muscles bulged out as his face slowly changed, similar to a bull with big nostrils.

Boom!

As he landed, the ground shook and created a loud noise. It showed how much heavier he had become than his small human form. His nostril released fire and hot steam.

Roar!

Carlos Artura roared once more before rushing toward Tang Shaoyang with a battle ax in his right hand.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

He was blinded by rage because of their past and rushed toward Tang Shaoyang by himself. Each of his steps caused the ground to shake. Halfway to reach Tang Shaoyang, he took out a hammer in his left hand. The battle ax and the war hammer were blazed in flame.

"TANG! SHAOYANG!" The angry bull came for Tang Shaoyang.
