Chapter 51 Mercenary Slayer: Arctic Tyrannosaurus
Chapter 51 Mercenary Slayer: Arctic Tyrannosaurus
"This...this kid's martial soul has displacement ability?" Eric was shocked. He had been paying attention to Xiao Yan's martial soul all the way, and that rolling ball-like thing didn't seem to have any offensive capabilities.
He then contradicted himself, saying, "No, that's just the effect of his spirit rings."
Xiao Yan's second soul ring did not dissipate, clearly indicating that he had changed his position and that of the mercenary in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yan's second soul skill can be used for substitution within a certain range. If the opponent's soul power is much higher than his, it will cause him to vomit blood or even suffer severe soul power depletion as a backlash.
However, if he left a digital mark with his soul power, it wouldn't be so serious, but it would consume a lot of soul power. Therefore, he left a few more marks on the way up the mountain, just in case.
"This kid's really weird! All of you, come at him! What are you standing there for?!" Eric roared.
He had just accidentally killed his accomplice, which made him feel like he had been tricked, and he was a little upset.
However, facing a group of Soul Masters who had activated their Martial Souls, Xiao Yan remained confident. As his second Soul Ring continued to light up, the mercenaries unleashed their respective Martial Soul attacks together.
"I don't believe you have that much soul power to burn!" Eric said, and once again unleashed his fourth soul skill at Xiao Yan.
The soul skills provided by a purple soul ring are naturally powerful, but they also come with a significant cost. This is why he didn't use his fifth soul skill; he sent his subordinates first to wear them down.
The rolling beast perched on Xiao Yan's head, moving back and forth. As hostile attacks came from all around, it felt itself shifting in position along with Xiao Yan.
"Ah, boss, it's, it's me..." Skinny Monkey managed to utter a few words from his throat. Skinny Monkey and Xiao Yan switched places, and his throat was instantly pierced by Eric Claw.
"Oh dear, how come this kid still has soul power to activate soul skills? Don't worry, I'll take good care of your family."
Eric's tone was regretful, but his expression was calm and composed. He had only stepped into the fray again because he saw that the mercenaries were all hesitant and timid in their moves.
What's the point of wasting Xiao Yan's soul power with such trivial actions?
What he wants now is dead people, the more the better, so that the gold soul coins in Xiao Yan's belt will all be his.
Eric pulled his claws out of the skinny monkey's throat, revealing two dark holes from which blood was gushing out.
The skinny monkey wanted to say something more, but with air leaking from his throat, he could only make a weak, whimpering sound like a donkey.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Xiao Yan, who had been cornered, finally withdrew his second soul ring. Upon seeing this, all the mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, kid? Not jumping anymore?"
"Rolling Ball Beast"
"Hmm?" The ball-shaped beast above responded softly.
"It's up to you now." Xiao Yan had already replaced all the marked mercenaries with his continuous maneuvering. If he wanted to activate his second soul skill, it would be a huge drain on his body and soul power, so there was no need to do so.
Using someone else to do your dirty work is never the best approach, so it's time to hand the battlefield over to your own Digimon.
"What kind of rolling beast is this? Is it possible for someone to be talking to their own martial soul?"
Eric Claw pointed at the pinkish-white fleshy blob on Xiao Yan's head and laughed loudly at the mercenaries around him.
Now, covered in blood, he looked even more terrifying. For a moment, the mercenaries didn't know whether to fear their former captain or worry about this cunning young man.
The mercenaries on the sidelines couldn't laugh. In just a few moves, all the brothers who used to drink and flirt with each other were killed by their own men's soul skills.
Those who had accidentally killed someone dared not approach Eric and Xiao Yan, fearing they would be implicated.
"Why are you guys hiding so far away? If you're afraid of dying, don't come to my Frostscar Mercenary Group as mercenaries."
Eric angrily cursed the cowardly bunch.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had retracted his second soul ring, he relaxed, indicating that the continuous use of it had left the boy with very little soul power.
Otherwise, why not continue using such a useful soul skill? Aren't we just lambs to the slaughter right now?
However, it was precisely because of his arrogance and underestimation of his opponent that he overlooked one thing.
Xiao Yan was a Soul Master with a Soul Power of Level 32, and he only used his second Soul Skill from beginning to end.
A purple spirit ring attached itself to Koromon, and the Digimon wrapped in its clothes also emitted a dazzling light at that moment.
"Boss, that man's martial spirit."
Eric, who was disciplining his subordinates, immediately became alert and looked again at Xiao Yan, who had nowhere to escape. The detached martial spirit above his head suddenly emitted a white light and then transformed into a small Agumon.
Although the dazzling light was still flashing on Agumon, Eric ignored it.
"That's it?" Eric's tension vanished completely. He had thought the other party had some kind of killer move, but instead, they produced a guy who wasn't even as tall as his waist.
"What an overreaction! In this northern region, what kind of soul beasts of all sizes haven't we dealt with?"
He turned to see how his brothers were reacting, only to find that all the mercenaries were fleeing in terror.
"What are you guys doing? Aren't you going to throw away the easy prey you've already got?"
As Eric was speaking, he felt as if the sky had darkened. He looked up and his gaze met that of the fully evolved Greymon.
Looking at the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was about six meters tall in front of him, Eric seemed to have realized something. He finally understood why these mercenaries weren't even afraid of him and were only concerned with running away.
How could these desperate criminals easily let go of such an easy target? But if the target was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, even the most foolish person would know that escaping for their life was the priority.
A year ago, rumors circulated among mercenaries in the far north about a ferocious beast called the Arctic Tyrannosaurus. Some even predicted that if left to grow, it would become an even more terrifying being than the three great kings of the Arctic.
The reason why the mercenaries are so afraid of it is because this polar tyrannosaurus has slaughtered two mercenary groups since it appeared in the world.
Some witnesses saw the other party easily crush a Soul Master with his Martial Soul activated simply by stepping on him.
Even more terrifying is that this ferocious beast's purpose in slaughtering the mercenary group did not seem to be for food; it left the piled-up corpses to be frozen.
It is a ferocious beast that enjoys hunting. In fact, the highest bounty in the guild is for the mercenary killer, the Arctic Tyrannosaurus, but no one has taken it on yet.
Who would dare to pick them up? Who would have the life to do so?
The Tyrannosaurus Rex standing before him was a full six meters tall, with a blue-gray body. Even if Eric was obsessed with money, he should have recognized it by now.
"Mercenary, mercenary killer!" He looked at the huge guy with some fear, while Xiao Yan was sitting comfortably on his shoulder.
"I think that's the name, but Tyrannomon said he didn't like it. Arctic Tyrannomon, on the other hand, sounds pretty cool."
Xiao Yan raised his right hand high, then stretched his left hand. Living in such an environment as the Arctic was not good; as soon as he stopped moving, his limbs felt stiff and not like his own.
The Tyrannomon stared with eyes as big as Eric's head, its gaze filled with disdain.
"Alright, Greymon, let's do it the same way as last time. Leave no survivors for those who want to kill us!"
