Armipotent

The corpse burst out into dark particles and swirled around fiercely on the spot. The dark particles spread in the underground space. Aki and Ashley subconsciously took two steps back to avoid the dark particles, but it was useless as the dark particles still reached them. The cat and Chief Lauri stayed still as both fully trusted Tang Shaoyang.

The dark particles thinned out as they gathered back at the spot where the corpses were piling out. Ashley then saw a figure come out of the particle or to be more exact it was a beast, a winged beast.

"Abyss Raven!?" She then heard Aki mutter something, Abyss Raven. She presumed that the beast was Abyss Raven. However, she never heard of this kind of species. The Abyss Raven was a meter and a half meter, the feather was jet-black, and its eyes were also pitch black. If there was something that made this Abyss Raven different, it was a small horn on its head.

"But that Abyss Raven is still an infant. The adult Abyss Raven could reach ten meters tall," Aki continued and he turned toward Ashley, "Do you know something with Lord's power? Is he a summoner?" Ashley looked at Aki then she shook her head. She also did not know anything about Tang Shaoyang's power. He was Spirit Sovereign and also Primordial Slayer. She had never heard of those two classes before.

[You have summoned the Grade B+ Spirit, Jet the Abyss Raven!]

Tang Shaoyang looked at the Abyss Raved and the latter returned the glare proudly as well, "Are you the one who woke me up from my slumber?" The Abyss Raven talked to Tang Shaoyang.

"From your slumber?" Tang Shaoyang made a confused expression. He remembered that Zaneos told him that the uncontracted spirit was in a void space. The spirit could not see, could not smell, and could not feel anything. It was the worst possible for them, but the spirits endured it because of resentment, hatred, and vengeance.

This was surely unique, it thought it was in slumber which made sense because the spirit felt nothing. It was as if all the senses were cut off, just like falling asleep. However, there was a different story for the spirit who had been contracted once or twice. When their Master died, the spirit was sent into the Spirit World.

The Spirit World was much a better place than the void space. That was what Bronson the Execution and Rosalie the Flame Queen told him. From the Abyss Raven's reaction, it must be summoned from the void space. For some reason, he could trace a childish voice from its deep voice.

"I guess you are right, though some part of it is wrong," Tang Shaoyang nodded.

"What do you mean? The Abyss Raven is never wrong, we always tell the truth!" Jet snarled back at Tang Shaoyang as it opened its black beak, trying to intimidate the man. It wanted to correct the man.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "But I have summoned many spirits. They never told me that they fell asleep, and you never fell asleep Jet. You are in a void space and all your senses are cut off so you feel like you are in slumber."

Jet fell silent, it contemplated what Tang Shaoyang said. The more it thought about it, the more it felt that what Tang Shaoyang said was the actual truth. While it was similar to sleeping, his consciousness was staying awake. The boredom in that void space felt so real. If it was sleeping, it would not get boring.

"What a terrible place. I thought I have been sleeping all this time," Jet the Abyss Raven looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "You said that you have summoned many spirits? How many?"

"More than eleven spirits, I don't know the exact number," Tang Shaoyang shook his head. He had eleven contracted spirits including Rumru. As for the spirits he had sacrificed, he did not remember the number since it was not that important.

"I see, so what happened to the spirits you have summoned?" Jet the Abyss Raven asked. It seemed the creature did not have the knowledge about the spirit which was a rare occurrence since all the spirits he had summoned were aware of the rule. The spirit had to fight against the one who summoned them to fight for their freedom or test their summoner or the spirit could negotiate the terms for the contract. However, this Abyss Raven knew nothing about that or it was aware and it was testing him?

"There are two ends for each spirit I have summoned. First, they will end up as my contracted spirit. Second, they will be sacrificed for my gain. However, since you are Grade B+ Spirit, I gain nothing by sacrificing you but a little bit of Spirit Power. My offer to you is, become my contracted spirit and I will help you with my best to achieve your unfulfilling wish, regret, or even vengeance," Tang Shaoyang explained to the Abyss Raven. Even though this was just Grade B+ Spirit, he could upgrade the spirit. On top of that, he planned to build a spirit army. He would even contract Grade C Spirit for that.

'No, Grade B or Grade B+ is actually the best grade to build an army of spirit,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself. He needed fewer sacrifices for lower grade spirit.

"I don't want to go back to that horrible place, what is that again, the void space?" The Abyss Raven looked upward as it muttered, "However, I doubt you can help me with my vengeance. My enemy is a Legend and maybe he has advanced to a Demi-God. I doubt you can defeat him for me, human."

Legend and Demi-God. If someone asked him if he could fight Legend or not, Tang Shaoyang would answer with "I don't know," but when it came to Demi-God, he would admit that he would not be able to defeat the Demi-God.

"I don't know about Legend Rank since I never fought one, but indeed, I can't defeat Demi-God Rank," Tang Shaoyang admitted.
