Chapter 1056 - Elemental Spheres (1/2)
“Sure enough, I guessed right. That Blood Bone Beastman wasn’t Sir Raphael’s opponent before, but it suddenly got strong enough to suppress Sir Raphael and even mount a sneak attack. This is inconceivable.
“A powerhouse that advanced to the Heaven Rank can’t suddenly become that strong, even if the gap between the Heaven realm and the Archmage realm was huge.
“Sir Raphael is already one step into the Heaven Rank, you are only missing the final transformation and the ability to control Extraordinary Power. That Blood Bone Beastman just transformed before you and obtained Extraordinary Power.
“This is wrong, a powerhouse that just advanced to the Heaven Rank shouldn’t grasp Extraordinary so smoothly.
“If one wanted to use Extraordinary Power in a fight, they would need to adapt for some time. The comprehension of laws isn’t something that could be gained in a day or two.
“The Bronze Beastman I recently encountered was also like that, he didn’t have the aura of someone that just advanced to the Heaven Rank and he clearly understood enough of the Laws when he used Extraordinary Power.
“I don’t believe that the Beastmen are all geniuses like that. It might be possible if it was just one, but two in a row definitely meant that these Beastmen have some sort of a special method!
“Furthermore, that Blood Bone Beastman already mastered the innate Shadow Split technique of his race, and it’s at a very high level. It’s not something pure bloodline and effort can accomplish!”
Raphael was disappointed and resentful, he looked at Lin Yun in shock and said, “Morgan previously said that Sir Merlin encountered a Heaven Rank Beastman, a Bronze Beastman that could use the full power of the Heaven Rank? Do you know his name?”
“Shaq.”
Raphael was in disbelief.
“Shaq?! That stupid guy? He actually advanced to the Heaven Rank? And he could actually use his innate ability? I met that guy before and he couldn’t even attack back. If not for his formidable defenses, he would have already died under my floating fortress…
“Just what is behind those Raging Flame Beastmen’ sudden progress to the Heaven Rank…
“We will be screwed if we can’t figure out the reason…”
Lin Yun frowned and suddenly recalled something. He then asked Raphael with a solemn expression, “Sir Raphael, you have a better understanding of the Raging Flame Beastmen, do you know which tribes entered the Raging Flame Battlefield this time? And their leaders?”
Raphael nodded, Sky City’s intelligence definitely had that information.
“The strongest are the Gold Beastmen and their leader is the tribe’s famous General. He is just a step away from the Heaven realm. The leader of the Bronze Beastmen was Shaq, but you already killed him.
“The leader of the Blood Bone Beastmen is Baolo, and he was also a step away from the Heaven Rank. But he has already advanced.
“The Black Iron Beastman Tribe’s leading powerhouse is also a powerhouse half a step into the Heaven Rank…
“The Barbarian Beastman Tribe’s…
“Hold on, Sir Merlin, you aren’t saying…”
Raphael’s expression suddenly froze, cold sweat trickled down his forehead…
Lin Yun frowned, a terrible expression on his face.
“That’s right, Sir Raphael, the Raging Flame Beastmen’s tribes that entered the Raging Flame Battlefield are all led by powerhouses half a step into the Heaven realm, and they only miss that last step to finish their transformation and control Extraordinary Power.
“How many of such powerhouses are there?”
Morgan was confused.
“What the hell are you talking about? How come I don’t understand?”
Raphael had a bitter expression as he shook his head at Morgan and wryly smiled.
“There are a total of nine Raging Flame Beastmen half a step into the Heaven Rank that entered the Raging Flame Battlefield.
“At first we thought that they dispatched the strongest people they could dispatch because Heaven Rank powerhouses couldn’t enter the Raging Flame Battlefield.
“But now, it looks like this isn’t the case, their goal isn’t the same as ours…
“Nine powerhouses half a step in the Heaven Rank… Sir Morgan, both Shaq of the Bronze Beastmen and Baolo of the Blood Bone Beastmen were among those nine.
“And both of them advanced to the Heaven Rank, even breaking through the limitations of the Raging Flame Battlefield and using Extraordinary Power.
“Do you understand what that means?”
No matter how stupid Morgan was, how could he not understand? His face turned pale and he started stammering, “You… You mean… The Raging Flame Beastmen might have nine Heaven Rank powerhouses here? And Heaven Rank powerhouses that can use Extraordinary Power?”
Raphael bitterly smiled and nodded.
“We are screwed, completely screwed. Even if Sir Merlin is powerful and already got rid of Shaq, Sir Merlin hasn’t advanced to the Heaven Rank. We would only die if we get attacked by eight Heaven Rank powerhouses…
“Sir Dedale is very powerful and can compare to a Heaven Rank powerhouse, but defeating a Heaven Rank powerhouse using Extraordinary Power would be very difficult for him.
“And thus, we are screwed. Eight Heaven Rank powerhouses using Extraordinary Power, they are unparalleled existences in the Raging Flame Battlefield…”
The group looked defeated, they seemed to have lost all hope.
Lin Yun shook his head.
“Impossible, all nine powerhouses won’t rise at the same time. No matter what method they use, it’s absolutely impossible.
“The Raging Flame Beastmen’s understanding of the Raging Flame Battlefield might surpass ours by far and they dispatched a group of powerhouses half a step in the Heaven Rank because they knew some of its secrets.
“There must be something here, a method that allowed them to finish the last transformation, but it definitely won’t be that easy.
“Otherwise there would be multiple Heaven Rank powerhouses coming out everytime the Raging Flame Battlefield was opened.
“If they had that many Heaven Rank powerhouses, how could we suppress the Raging Flame Beastmen?
“I remember Shaq’s words, the reason why he was able to use Extraordinary Power in the Raging Flame Battlefield was due to the Beastmen’s blessings.
“So he must have been to the temple. Do remember what that old Beastman said? We can use those Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts’ mana crystal to trade for things.
“I think they completed the last step of their transformation there.
“Even if we can’t find the secret, the fastest way to increase our strength is to use those Pseudo Heaven Magic Beasts’ mana crystals and trade for items.
“Maybe we can find a way to resist the Raging Flame Beastmen there.”
