Chapter 966 White Tiger Of Calamity 1

There are many things in the world that can motivate a person to go beyond their limits, often having to do with their emotions and emotional outbursts.

Fear could make a person run faster, anger could make a person erupt with great strength, love could make a person extremely tolerant and pain could make a person honest.

So it was no surprise that despite their grievous injuries, Qiong Qi and Clarent made the long journey back to their little hideout with hate fueling them.

Each creak and groan of their bones yielded more pain, which further fueled their hate, which in turn gave them more energy to continue, thereby forming a cruel cycle.

By the time they had arrived at their destination, the two were panting but their eyes shone with bright beams of light. They had never been more certain, more motivated and more eager than to do what came next.

Even if a True God descended to stop them right now, these two would rather fight him to the death than admit defeat. They were hellbent on seeing Draco suffer even if it meant endangering the world.

Still in pain, the two finished up the last steps of their ritual and began to activate it. Clarent took the lead and spat out a mouthful of blood essence imbued with some of his Divine nature, an act which Qiong Qi mirrored.

The array on the floor absorbed their blood essence and shone with even greater power. Clarent added hundreds of Aether Crystals and even some Divine Crystals!

Shit, this former Divine Dragon had actually managed to keep his hidden stash scecret from Draco all the while!

Clarent was thankful that he had held back, because it now came in handy. Once the array was done absorbing all these energies, it began to crackle and flash with red lighting, as a portal started to form above it.

Within the dark swirl, a giant claw poked out, which made the expression of Clarent and Qiong Qi shifty to excitement.

The array had clearly succeeded!

However, this was not the end. Clarent stepped forth and raised his hands piously, calling out majestically.

"Arise! Arise, O Great Fallen One! Arise and step into this failed world once again!"

Clarent's words seemed to trigger something as the claw pushed through the portal, revealing a head, a torso and legs before ending with a furry tail.

When the duo saw what came out, their faces changed greatly, going from excitement to fear and horror. They turned to run, but the being they summoned seemed to acclimate to this world and made a low roar.

This made Clarent and Qiong Qi freeze on the spot and turn around with unwilling expressions. Now, even if an Origin God came down and asked them not to regret their actions, they would refuse and regret it even harder!

After all, what they summoned was something truly fearsome that they couldn't control. It was a spotless White Tiger with black stripes, golden eyes and a muscular body that could shatter stone just by brushing past it.

However, if it was just the common White Tiger of the Four Divine Symbols, it would not be too much of a big deal. However, this White Tiger was not just any White Tiger, but the fucking White Tiger of Calamity.

Basically, this was a legendary monster that would bring ruin to anything it passed by and should never be allowed in the mortal world. Yet here it was, summoned by two bona fida idiots.

They themselves didn't even know how this happened and they wanted to cry but had no tears. According to the ritual, they would summon an ancient monster of a power proportionate to what they sacrificed, so they were expecting a True God or something.

After all, seeing how Draco didn't dare to fight Sigurd head-on back then, they saw it as a clear sign that True Gods were above his pay-grade!

However, while the White Tiger of Calamity was not a True God, its power grew in accordance to the level of destruction it caused. Theoretically, like the Ultima Sunt, there was no limit.

"O Great One, what do you need from this young one?" Clarent asked shakily when he saw the White Tiger staring at him with a strange smile.

"Hmph, there is no need to be so scared, Contractor. We are temporarily bound by the law of the world and cannot harm each other. I am just a time remnant of the True White Tiger of Calamity from the River of Time. The real me died in the War of the Gods long ago." The White Tiger explained with a feminine voice and narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, Qiong Qi and Clarent shared a look. After all, one was born in the new era from a Divine Lion dad who was a True God and the other died before the War of the Gods, specifically the battle that sparked the war, which was the Slaughter of the Dragons.

As such, neither knew anything about such a thing like the death of the White Tiger of Calamity. For such a thing to happen, just how tragic was the war back then?

"Err, so you'll do as we say?" Qiong Qi probed carefully.

"Mostly. I can reject things that I don't like, but I generally won't act without your go ahead. You also provided me with a lot of energy, which should be enough to let me remain corporeal for about 24 hours, though that time lessens the more I fight." The White Tiger added slowly.

Clarent and Qiong Qi shared a look, and a flash of relief and excitement appeared in their eyes.

"What's your current status and power level?" Clarent asked hurriedly.

The White Tiger of Calamity smiled. "Rank 7 World Boss with a Divine State of Being."

Hearing this, Clarent and Qiong Qi exploded with excitement. They even burst into uproarious laughter that made the White Tiger of Calamity look at them strangely.

Draco was officially finished!

A Rank 7 was already a tall order to deal with, as they stood at the pinnacle of the Mortal World, but a Rank 7 World Boss was a different breast altogether.

Those beasts not only had to be fought in stages, but they imposed certain limitations to their attackers, had various buffs and benefits, and were extremely hard to take down.<.com>

Heck, Qiong Qi's true self was a World Boss and you think this bastard lion wouldn't have slapped the original to death and stolen his everything, thereby replacing him, if only he could?

However, it was a tall order to handle a World Boss, even for the fake Qiong Qi, who was a sealed Pseudo-World Boss.

Something like Draco's Avatar during the First Inter-player International Competition was representative of how World Bosses were fought, but Draco's avatar was actually a dumbed down and severely weakened version of that.

Ha, in the previous timeline, almost 1 billion players of various guilds at the top came together to siege a World Boss and only managed to win after a whole week of non-stop fighting.

The losses amounted to 95% by the end!

A World Boss wasn't something you could necessarily throw numbers at. Now, these two hooligans had one on their payroll, so how could they waste this chance?

"Quickly follow us to a certain place and help us destroy a despicable fellow!" Qiong Qi roared with impatience, not willing to wait one more second to see Draco kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

"Trust me, if you see this fellow, you will understand that he is more vile and more calamitous than even you. How can you stand for that?" Clarent instigated the White Tiger with a cunning smile.

When the White Tiger heard Qiong Qi, it was not too bothered, but when it heard Clarent, its expression changed and its aura surged, full of killing intent and hatred.

"How dare anyone try to claim my domain even though I am dead! Quickly lead me to this cretin who dares to mimic me!" The White Tiger roared at the two hooligans.

Rather than be fearful, they were filled with joy at her rage. Hehe, today, Draco would scream for his damn mommy! Just picturing that scene made the two shudder with excitement, and they howled with joy.

The three beings rushed out of the cave and headed towards Vita Kingdom at a shocking speed. They would likely arrive within minutes this time!

Meanwhile, a prompt appeared before every player in the world.

?System to World Announcement

An Emergency Quest has been created! There is no lock on logging out, but doing so will yield a significant penalty! However, the entire continent of Cario has been locked down and for the duration of this event, it will be impossible to leave! One must cull the source of the emergency within the time limit, or only doom awaits!?

?Ancient Evil: White Tiger of Calamity – Emergency Quest

Description: Two idiots have awoken the remnant spirits of the White Tiger of Calamity from the River of Time due to a meaningless grudge. They are now heading to Vita Kingdom to seek revenge and their target is Player Draco of Umbra!

Defeat the White Tiger of Calamity and prevent the death of Player Draco in order to complete this quest!

Rewards: 5,000% Exp, 100 platinum, and 3 Epic Treasure Chest?

Players around the world who saw this quest were incomparably excited.

50 levels worth of experience, 100 platinum which was equivalent to 100 Umbra Points and three Epic Treasure Chests! Any of these would make the common player drool to death, but then again, given the history of these things, the common player would never survive to the end.

Still, sounds of feet running and greed spiking were heard all around the world as players on other continents rushed to Cario Continent through their nearest Portal Center. Meanwhile, those on Cario rushed to Vita Kingdom like lighting.

Those in Vita Kingdom were dumbfounded, and their expressions were strange.

It can't be right? A pie has fallen from the sky? A free quest to just protect Draco? The fellow who could likely solo this boss on his own?

Seeing this,m rather than exclaim in excitement, these players felt disdain. They were mostly old blokes who had been here since the days of the Dragon Slaying Event, and they had seen many things in their time.

They had learned to fear and respect the AI's cunning and predict its movements, but this time, it seemed like the AI had slipped up.

Tsk, tsk, before this AI used to make them work for it, but now it was giving out freebies? Do you thin this Young Master/mistress would forgive you for your past transgressions because of this?

Stop dreaming! Quickly roll out here and kneel then beg for forgiveness, then we might consider forgiving you for all the suffering we have faced!

Once the AI heard their thoughts, its lungs were filled with grievance and rage. You fellows, I am being nice by warning you and putting some benefits up, and you dare to bully me?

I'll tell Draco!

Draco, who was basking on his chairs while fondling Eva's soft and lush body malicious,y was shocked as he fell out. He received a special prompt from the AI about the Emergency Quest with a message at the end saying that she didn't want a single non-umbra affiliated player to survive at the end!

Seeing this, Draco's expression became strange. These dumbass players, Ive worked so hard to build goodwill for you all towards the AI, so that it would favor you in these things, yet you've ruined it all.

Judging from the AI's tone, she was completely red-eyed with anger and grievance, wanting only revenge and suffering. He definitely did not dare to say not to her request!

Draco snorted and left the Anomaly Realm whole licking his fingers that were wet with Eva's juices. An expression of enjoyment appeared on his face as he laughed.

"White Tiger of Calamity? Come and meet your father, the Dao God of Shamelesness!"
