Soul Of Negary - Chapter 492
492 Vol7 Ch30: I AM!
Seeing Sky Crow immediately boasting as it appeared, Ying scowled.
Sky Crow had a little bit of Golden Crow bloodline flowing through its body, a God of Takamagahara within a certain Sand Realm, as well as the successor of a so-called Great Goddess Amaterasu.
However, that world’s supernatural forces weren’t particularly strong. Even the self-proclaimed pantheon of Takamagahara was nothing but a small force, and having originated from this small force, Sky Crow doesn’t only have an extreme level of pride, but also extreme arrogance.
Taking pride in its own identity as his world’s God King, even after its world had become a colonized realm of the Supreme God world and it was turned into Ying’s Shikigami, as well as having traveled with her to various worlds and witnessed many powerful entities, Sky Crow’s bad habits simply refuse to die, always grandly carrying itself wherever it went.
However, Sky Crow was also the only one among Ying’s four strongest Shikigamis that she didn’t conquer using [Desire Puppeteer]. The reason for this was that its appreciation for beauty was completely different to that of humans, having a preference for only birds.
This sense of beauty was so absolute that no matter how charming a human seemed, they were essentially no different from a pile of rock in its eyes.
For that reason, Sky Crow had actually been beaten to a pulp by the other three Shikigamis, then forcefully tamed.
This type of boastful entrance made Ying feel somehow uneasy, but this shouldn’t be any different from normal.
Flying in the sky, Sky Crow felt a chill down its back for some reason, but still insisted on continuing its boastful act.
So you had summoned this great one because of these insignificant fellows as Sky Crow continued its speech, it felt the chill behind it growing even stronger as a shadow slowly eclipsed it.
Turning its head, what it saw was a pair of jet-black wings that covered the sky.
Followed by a large pair of talons that tightly gripped Sky Crow’s head and violently pulled it away.
I AM THE LORD OF THE CROWS APPOINTED BY MASTER, I AM!!! a furious scream resounded together with the caws of a bird. The immense force produced by the pair of wings made it so that the giant crow violent wrestled Sky Crow to the ground, kicking up a storm of dust
I AM!!!
I AM! I AM! IAM!! the black crow continuously made this declaration in a frenzy while keeping its grip over Sky Crow’s head.
Even while Sky Crow’s flames burnt away at its talons, it persisted without letting go, madly wrestling its opponent down while stating its will.
“Yayu is so cute!” Lan Shan commented while holding up a parasol for Negary, watching the gigantified Yayu like she was looking at a cute child.
Indeed that is the case Negary commented as he continued to observe. Even he didn’t expect that Yayu would be so concerned about this Title that he had bestowed, immediately going into a frenzy as soon as it heard another entity proclaiming themselves as the lord of crows.
As expected, it was still incomplete huh?
Negary’s attention was placed on Yayu’s strength.
Yayu originally had a decent level of strength, having been the ruler and manager of the Flame world’s Death Crows. Thanks to the germs that Negary had left in this world, it was able to achieve the first stage of release through the germs, obtaining the ability to become gigantified.
When Negary arrived in this world and bestowed it intelligence as well as wisdom, it also underwent the second stage of release, after which it had been accompanying Negary for the past few days.
Negary wouldn’t waste even a split second of his time, as he was in a constant state of either growing stronger or experimenting on how to grow stronger. And so, Yayu naturally became the experimental subject for Negary’s Pugilist experiments.
It had been practicing a [Bone Forge Art] created by Negary himself, integrating both the germs and Yayu’s gigantification [Origin] ability into the same [School]. Although it had only reached the second stage of release, its combat prowess could easily be compared to someone at the third stage of release, perhaps even slightly higher.
However, there were still certain issues with this newly-created [School], otherwise, Yayu should have been able to utilize both the [School] and its [Origin] ability in unison and perform a second Soul Burning Tempering while it released its [Origin] for the third time.
“That stupid bird!” Ying only felt her connection being cut off from Sky Crow. As expected, randomly boasting that assortment of titles had caused issues, but that giant crow from earlier was also quite noteworthy.
The other party’s presence was so strong that even she felt tough to deal with, but it had said something about being the lord of crows as appointed by ‘master’.
Is that ‘master’ also in this world?
“Focus otherwise, I wouldn’t feel nearly as much joy in defeating you!” the Dragon Warrior’s gaze scanned through the crow that had just been pulled away, understanding that if it wasn’t unexpectedly removed from the battlefield, that half-man half-crow fellow would have been his opponent as well. Despite that, he was still full of confidence.
“I, Eder Woer Despark, will surely become the most powerful Pugilist in this world. Whether it’s Eldridge, you bunch of people who appeared out of nowhere, or that so-called King of Evil Spirits, everyone will be nothing but stepping stones on my path of strength!” the Dragon Warrior’s arms began to bulge up, causing the dark strands that reached out from the Terracotta Warrior’s body to snap one by one.
After that, the Dragon Warrior sent the Terracotta Warrior aside with a swing of his tail, then lowered his stance. His highly-trained Metal Qi had gotten livelier than ever before, even causing him to feel a bit of tremor that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
“This is how it should be, using the blood of my enemies to forge my success!” the Dragon Warrior became even more excited, his bloodthirst having surged more than ever before.
Adrian opened his eyes wide in shock as he witnessed this occur. He had sharply recognized the Dragon Warrior’s strength that had originally reached a peak was gradually growing again. Even as a dragonborn with a similar sense of pride, Adrian couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority to him.
What a decent talent indeed, very similar to Neville Negary turned his gaze away from Yayu and started to evaluate the Dragon Warrior.
Thanks to the bloodline connection, Negary knew exactly which Dragonman the Dragon Warrior had descended from, after all, all the Dragonmen in the past were created at his hands.
His ancestor was called Neville Woer Despark, a newcomer of Reya who came shortly before the final battle.
Neville’s goal in Reya was very simple: to become stronger. He desired the power of supernatural abilities, and for the sake of strength, he was willing to pay any price. Additionally, he had also openly stated at the time that he would challenge Negary once he had grown strong enough.
Negary greatly appreciated his pure will at the time, so he permitted his entry into the Dragonmen, but the Black Abyss had already descended while he was still in the process of blood conditioning, so he was allowed to stay behind in Reya as Negary ordered all members of the three troops to block Nala’s way in the Sacred Valley. This ended up saving his life.
After returning to the Flame world, Negary had also examined the information of his past subordinates, knowing that Neville had later attempted to challenge Eldridge, who was already the Great Emperor at the time, and lost both his life and the battle by one regretful move.
It was quite unexpected for one of his descendants to have such a similar personality over a thousand years later.
“Tch, so I’m being underestimated” Ying scoffed.
The Terracotta Warrior that was flung aside earlier had returned to her as she crushed another talisman. A monster made of a large number of different body parts slowly climbed out of Ying’s shadow.
“I didn’t want to use this Shikigami, it’s all because of that damned bird’s fault!” Ying gritted her teeth.
In Chinese mythology, Golden Crows are considered the real form of the sun, as seen in the myth of Hou Yi shooting down the 9 suns
