Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 699: Tempest Hammer

What’s happening?

The crowd was incredibly shocked. Every Wandering Castle was protected by unparalleled fighters with powerful abilities or major factions, and this definitely held true for the Camel Peak Castle. Over the millennia, no one had dared to challenge the authority of the Camel Peak Castle Master. Wanderers did not dare to step out of line here, no matter how powerful they were.

There were not many Wandering Castles in this universe, but the Wandering Castles in the six Core Dimensions such as Life and Chaos alone numbered in the tens of thousands, never mind the other physical dimensions. The fact that a mysterious Dimensional Merchant like Biedrins would choose this place to auction off the Half-Dimension at an exorbitant price was proof of the Camel Peak Castle’s strength!

Only a powerful organization could undertake such a huge responsibility!

It was precisely because the crowd knew how powerful and safe the Camel Peak Castle was that they were surprised by the sudden accident. They all looked instinctively at the sparkling crystal ball on the display stage!

The Half-Dimension that came from the Unending Sea was undoubtedly the most alarming piece of treasure in the exchange hall currently, which was evident from how the major factions were fighting furiously for it. To several territories or families with a certain degree of influence, setting up their own Divine Branch was a lifelong dream; a unique Half-Dimension that had massive potential and which they could fully control undoubtedly posed a dangerous allure.

The Camel Peak Castle was extremely powerful, but they could not eliminate the possibility of someone seeing red and getting upset over not being able to obtain a particular treasure!

“Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies; there have been some incidents regarding the auction today. We have no choice but to pause it temporarily!” Hearing the cries coming in from outside, each one more pathetic than the last, the experienced auctioneer reacted quickly. He clapped his hands, and a team of heavily armored warriors charged out wielding sharp blades, guarding the crystal ball on the small cart as they quickly escorted it away.

“Hmph, just who’s seeking their death?”

The black-robed, hat-wearing Biedrins let out a cold grunt. In that instant, a sinister aura spread to every corner of the hall, accompanied by an incomparable pressure and suffocating killing intent. He leaped out through the window after scanning the crowd with a cold gaze, and then he vanished instantly. His speed made even the Golden Roc, who had always been proud of his own speed, stare in disbelief.

The Dimensional Merchant, who had abilities at the level of a Dimensional Wanderer, was no simple man!

“Let’s go; shall we head out and see what’s going on?”

“Tsk tsk, let’s go, let’s see who is tired enough of living to dare to take action in Camel Peak Castle!”

…

After recovering from their shock, the crowd quickly reacted and charged out of the Wanderer Exchange Hall as fast as possible. Yang Ling was no exception as he discreetly led the Corpse Wizard King, Alice, and the rest of the group in following the crowd. Originally, they had thought that someone had been too desperate to obtain the treasure; however, after charging out of the hall to have a look, the crowd realized that they had been severely mistaken. For a long moment, they could not react at all due to the shock.

A band of Great Twelve-winged Angels had appeared outside the Camel Peak Castle, each one holding a giant blade. They were tightly surrounding a giant in blood-red armor and a group of a dozen elves. The giant and the elves were covered in blood, while a few of the angels had also sustained injuries. A nearby mountain had been leveled. Blood flowed on the ground. It looked like the two parties were mortal enemies, engaged in a battle to the death.

“The Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Battle Squad from the City Amongst the Clouds?”

“Mountain Giant, one of the Eight Great Battle Generals under the King of Darkness, Tungusta the Mountain Giant?”

…

Many onlookers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, quickly ascertaining the identities of the two parties and slipping deeper into shock. The Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Battle Squad was the main force of the City Amongst the Clouds, perpetually engaged in battle within the Space Turbulence. Tungusta the Mountain Giant, who was one of the Eight Great Battle Generals under the King of Darkness, was even more exceptional. He had immense strength, and the Tempest Hammer in his hands had crushed the skulls of many powerful fighters, earning it its notoriety.

It was a battle between two goliaths!

The conflict and intense battle between the two parties quickly attracted the attention of everyone around them, with more and more people gathering around the field to witness the battle. The King of Darkness had a long-standing animosity with the City Amongst the Clouds, and many intense battles had erupted between them over the millennia, each one of them ending as battles to the death. How could the onlookers bear to miss such an intense stand-off?

“Tungusta, even the Eight Great Battle Generals do not dare take the Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Formation head-on! I would advise you to hand over the Mother Egg as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will only be seven of the Eight Great Battle Generals left under the King of Darkness!” said a commander-like Angel Leader, as he wiped the blood off his giant blade. He had a sharp gaze and an ice-cold expression.

“Hmph! As I said before, the Mother Egg is not in my hands. It was snatched by the Power King and his group a long time ago.” The giant by the name of the Tungusta sounded dejected, then said coldly, “If you Twelve-winged Scorch Angels are truly that powerful, why don’t you go look for the Power King and his group?”

Power King?

The Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Leader knit his brows. He had brought several hundred Twelve-winged Scorch Angels with him this time around. As long as he didn’t mind the cost, he would definitely be able to keep the lone Giant Spirit Battle General Tungusta here and harvest his soul. However, pursuing the bunch of lunatics under the Power King with only his current forces was undoubtedly asking for death!

It was not difficult to deal with the lone Tungusta, but it would be troublesome if the Mother Egg, which could detect the coordinates of the Mother Nest, fell into the hands of the Power King and his group!

“Let me search your group, and we will know whether or not you have the Mother Egg. After all, a dead man tells no tales!” The Twelve-winged Scorch Angels Leader deliberated for a moment before coming to a decision. He prepared his subordinates to get into the Angel Battle Formation and kill Tungusta, who wore blood-red battle armor.

He was not willing to miss the opportunity to kill Tungusta, whether the opponent had the Mother Egg or not!

Whoosh…

The Great Twelve-winged Angels were well-trained. They were incredibly fast, but the giant Tungusta was even faster. Seeing that the situation was dire, he raised his symbol-covered Tempest Hammer decisively and led the dozen Night Elves in a charge. A single Scorch Angel was troublesome enough to deal with. The outcome would be disastrous if they were to be surrounded by several hundred Scorch Angels in their Angel Battle Formation!

“Thunderbolt Windstorm, die!”

It was important to strike at the opponent’s weak spot. The experienced Mountain Giant Tungusta detected precisely the area where the defenses of the angels were the weakest and pounced over with all the force of a bolt of lightning. He brought down the heavy Tempest Hammer with force, turning the skull of an angel into mush before releasing a field of sharp Wind Daggers.

Creak…

The lethal Wind Daggers appeared out of thin air, pulling in everything around them like a tornado. The angels in the way of the attack had no chance to dodge and were instantly torn to shreds, only leaving behind a pathetic cry!

This was the strength of a top-notch expert?

After flicking away a drop of an angel’s still-warm blood that had fallen from the sky, then looking at the unparalleled Mountain Giant Tungusta and seeing the blood-soaked Tempest Hammer in his hands, Yang Ling’s pupils dilated. Each one of the Twelve-winged Scorch Angels had abilities at the peak of the divine level, some even reaching the level of a Divine Duty Expert. Being able to kill a dozen Twelve-winged Scorch Angels in an instant showed just how terrifying the abilities of Tungusta the Mountain Giant really were!

If just one of Eight Great Battle Generals, the King of the Mountains, was already this powerful, Yang Ling could not imagine how terrifying the elusive King of Darkness would be!

“Tungusta, there’s no way you can escape! Go and die!” The Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Leader’s expression turned cold, his entire figure charging straight for the Mountain Giant like an arrow of ice. He flicked the great blade in his hand gently, easily slicing open the throats of a few Night Elves before instructing the angels to surround the Mountain Giant and the rest of his group closely.

Creak…

After letting out a roar, the Mountain Giant took a hit from one of the angel’s blades, then once again released a large field of sharp Wind Daggers, which instantly defeated a dozen angels who had not managed to dodge the attack in time. He darted from side to side, trying his best to scatter the formation of the angels.

In terms of individual abilities, Tungusta was confident that he could smash the heads of every angel present, one by one. However, it would be troublesome if the angels successfully got into their formation and surrounded him. Not only would he be unable to accomplish his mission, but he might not even be able to make it out of this alive. Even his soul would be detained at the purgatory of the City Amongst the Clouds, making it so that he couldn’t reincarnate!

The Churches of the City Amongst the Clouds in the various Core Dimensions might have seemed like they had nothing to hide, but in reality, they were bloody and horrifying. Even Tungusta, the King of the Mountains, feared them! Those who did not know of the purgatory in the City Amongst the Clouds would never know what was scarier than death. They would never understand that death was but the start of the calamity!

“Tungusta, let’s see where you can run off to this time!”

Seeing the angels that had fallen, the Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Leader clenched his teeth in fury. He charged forward, restricting the movements of the speedy Mountain Giant. As long as he could hold him back for a moment, the angels would be able to get into the Angel Battle Formation. When that time came, the other party would not be able to do anything, no matter how powerful he was!

“Hmph, you must be dreaming! I’ll bring you down even if I die!” Tungusta the Mountain Giant charged from side to side, running in every direction as he tried to disrupt the formation of the angels. He was hoping to be able to forcefully charge out of the battle. He did not want to engage in a drawn-out battle with the Twelve-winged Scorch Angel Leader in hot pursuit. Unfortunately, there were just too many angels. He could not charge out of the area, no matter how hard he tried. The radius of the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller, the situation getting direr and direr!

Seeing that the situation was getting worse for the Mountain Giant under the attack of the many angels, Yang Ling had a thought, remembering the three great leaders of the Dark Association who had disappeared in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. “I wonder if one of the so-called Eight Great Battle Generals of the King of Darkness, the Mountain Giant, would know the whereabouts of the leaders of the Dark Association?”

Yang Ling could tell that the three leaders of the Dark Association were in a dire situation from Raymond’s words at the time. Unfortunately, Raymond had not elaborated on the situation, and he had left after saying a few simple sentences! He might be able to further understand the situation if he managed to save the King of the Mountains, Tungusta. However, seeing the angels getting into formation in the air, Yang Ling could not help but bitterly shake his head.

If there were only a dozen angels, Yang Ling could have tried launching a surprise attack to save the King of the Mountains. However, given that there were hundreds of powerful Twelve-winged Scorch Angels, the situation was much more troublesome!
