Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 451: Steel Armor Army

The abilities of the Corpse Wizard King improved by leaps and bounds after he learned the Corpse Poison Domain and possessed two domains. Even though his close combat capabilities were nowhere near the level of the Dark Dragon King, his destructive abilities were stronger than the Dark Dragon King in a large scale battle.

“Rodriguez, this black-colored Corpse Aura is indeed poisonous and sinister. However, your physical defense is too poor. I could totally break through your defenses in an instant and snap your neck as long as I unleashed the Dragon Realm!” The Dark Dragon King felt a little indignant after understanding that his destructive capabilities paled in comparison with the withered Corpse Wizard King in a large scale battle after testing out his abilities multiple times. As long as he launched a surprise attack, he believed that he would be able to send the withered body of the Corpse Wizard King flying with just one strike.

“Hehe, you can snap my neck, but I can turn you into a skeleton in an instant, rendering you unable to find a female dragon for the rest of your life. Try me if you don’t believe it.” Looking at the indignant Dark Dragon King, conjuring up an image of a Bone Dragon forcing its way with a petite female dragon, the Corpse Wizard King let out a loud cackle.

“What are you guys trying to do, fighting among one another. Wouldn’t it be better if you guys head to the Church’s territory together and see who can kill the most of their members within a set amount of time and determine a victor that way?” Seeing the Corpse Wizard King and Dark Dragon King fight pettily among themselves, the Scorpion King Ymort, who was standing by the side, shook his head. Over this period of time, he had gradually recovered his energy after consuming a few drops of Water from the Spring of Life and a substantial amount of Soul Energy from wild Magical Beasts.

Take action together?

These words meant more to Yang Ling than they did to the Dark Dragon King and Corpse Wizard King!

Looking at the extremely excited Corpse Wizard King whose abilities had improved tremendously, then looking at the indignant Dark Dragon King beside him, Yang Ling suddenly came up with a bold idea. The Corpse Wizard King possessed the mysterious Mind Magic Field and Corpse Poison Domain, while the Dark Dragon King had the powerful Dragon Realm. If there was a way to combine and layer their domains, what kind of battle capabilities would it produce on the battlefield?

The Purple Rat Little Ice and Thousand-faced Mink were improving at a rapid rate, and it was only a matter of time before they advanced to become Level Surpassing Magical Beasts and learned domains. What kind of situation would arise if he was able to layer and combine all of their domains? If he managed to tame a thousand, or even ten thousand high-level Magical Beasts in the future and layer all of their domains to form a Mighty Beast Domain, what kind of terrifying powers would it produce?

Mighty Beast Domain!

If every Magical Beast could double the gravity within a domain, then ten thousand Magical Beasts together would increase gravity by ten thousand times. If that happened, even the so-called Core Deity would be crushed to pieces, much less the Great Twelve-winged Angel!

After understanding Yang Ling’s idea, the Corpse Wizard King and Dark Dragon King became incredibly excited. Unfortunately, they were unable to obtain any progress even after experimenting for some time. They were unable to connect their domains no matter what they tried. The Corpse Poison Domain of the Corpse Wizard King could encroach on the radius of the Dark Dragon King’s Dragon Realm but was unable to seep into the Dragon Realm. The Dark Dragon King could also encroach on the radius of the Corpse Wizard King’s Corpse Poison Domain and Mind Magic Field, but regrettably, he was unable to layer the Dragon Realm onto the other domains.

One could layer different domains he has learned, but there seemed to be a rejection happening between domains learned by different people. The person with the stronger ability could encroach upon, or even destroy the domain of the other person. Wanting to combine and layer on a domain onto another person’s domain was beyond difficult.

“Let’s go, let’s see if there are still any high-level Magical Beasts around the area. We can slowly research the matter of combining domains!” After seeing that there was no progress despite the time they spent, Yang Ling decided to toss this difficult question to the side, leading the group as they left the Death Valley in search of more high-level Magical Beasts. They were unable to layer on different domains to form a singular domain for the time being, but that did not mean that it was unachievable in the future.

According to the memories of the Giant Ape King, there were still several dozen Ancient Siva Apes in a valley around two thousand miles away from Death Valley. Even though there were not many of them, the battle capabilities of the tribe were strong, and they lorded over territory with a radius of several hundred miles.

After instructing the Magical Beast Army to surround the tribe of Giant Apes, Yang Ling successfully tamed all of the Giant Apes in the tribe with the help of drugs and his overwhelming power. Not counting the weak and injured, there were roughly two hundred powerful Giant Apes. Their numbers were not much compared to the low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts, tarantulas, and Evil Eyes, whose numbers reached tens of thousands, but their battle capabilities were several times stronger than the low-level Magical Beasts!

After resting for some time at the Giant Apes’ tribe, Yang Ling led the group further into the Terras Forest, but regrettably no longer found any high-level Magical Beasts worth taming. He did come across a large number of low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts and tarantulas. Unfortunately, the number of low-level Magical Beasts amounted to nothing as it would not help him deal with a truly powerful opponent. There was no need to waste his time and energy on these Magical Beasts.

After not gaining anything within the forest for two days, seeing that the time of attacking the Church’s Iron Edge Castle was approaching, Yang Ling could only head back, teleporting back to the Wissen Castle using the Magical Teleportation Formation at the Death Valley. Before he left, in order to prevent others from breaking through the Restriction and barging into the valley, the Corpse Wizard King summoned a substantial number of undead creatures to defend the area, at the cost of his Magical Energy.

Yang Ling had just stepped out of the Teleportation Formation when he led the group straight toward the Magical Beast Military Factory situated not far away from the Hunter Association, wanting to check on the weapons and equipment made for the Magical Beast Army. After receiving the news, Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder quickly rushed over, introducing the weapons and equipment that they had created over this period of time to Yang Ling.

“Sir, this is the Dragonbone Battle Carriage. It can shoot out a giant arrow made of obsidian and has a range of a thousand steps.” The Gnome Elder excitedly introduced the masterpiece of his clansmen, instructing a few of his guards to demonstrate the power of the Dragonbone Battle Carriage.

Under his instructions, two muscular Barbarians unveiled the tarp draped over the Dragonbone Battle Carriage, revealing a giant carriage equipped with a crossbow half the height of a human. One of the Barbarians was responsible for aiming, while the other loaded the arrow weighing several hundred pounds into the barrel. With the command of the Gnome Elder, the giant crossbow shot out the arrow at blinding speed, powered by magical crystals, puncturing a large hole within a thick piece of steel a thousand steps away. It had alarming penetrative abilities and was much more terrifying than the heavy crossbows used to defend cities in the Tailun Continent!

“Great, how many of these Dragonbone Battle Carriages do we have?” Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction after personally witnessing the power of the Dragonbone Battle Carriage. These heavy carriages could be used to deal with the cavalry and infantry forces of the Church, as well as directly attack the main gate of the Iron Edge Castle. Because of its alarming range, it can even be used to kill the Church’s Spellcasters hiding on top of the city walls. This was a powerful weapon necessary for taking down cities.

“This…” The Gnome Elder let out an awkward laugh, then continued, “Because of the hurry, we only have twenty of these carriages at the moment. However, we managed to rush out the armor and weapons designed for the high-level Magical Beasts!”

The Gnome Elder spoke as he took a few steps, instructing his guards to unfold the heavy tarp draped over the wooden crates, revealing sets of heavy armor and sharp weapons. There were Obsidian Heavy Armor used by Dark Dragons, lances made for the Twin-legged Flying Dragons, sharp claws designed for the Flying Spiders…What was most attention-grabbing was undoubtedly the heavy armor and fifty-pound obsidian clubs made for the Ancient Siva Apes.

“Sir, in order to create these armor and giant clubs, we have put in all of the Star Metal and obsidian we had in the reserves of the territory!” Looking at the obsidian clubs that were eight meters long and each weighed fifty pounds, the Gnome Elder shook his head in disbelief. Even though he had rushed to create these giant clubs according to Yang Ling’s specifications, he had to mobilize a team of Bullmen to transport these giant heavy clubs. Even though he knew from the Flying Dragon King Seylius that these giant clubs were weapons made specifically for the legendary Ancient Siva Apes that had unparalleled strength, he could not imagine how something could wield these giant heavy clubs.

“Hehe, great, the more Star Metal and obsidian you used, the better, the heavier, the better!” Extending his hand to test out the weight of the heavy obsidian club, Yang Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. He waved his hand and summoned two hundred powerful Ancient Siva Apes, then instructed them to put on the heavy armor and lift the giant clubs that had alarming weight.

Roar…

Under the leadership of the Giant Ape King, the many Giant Apes quickly put on the armor, then let out a roar as they lifted the heavy metal club high into the air. Their massive frame, heavy armor, giant clubs that were eight meters long and weighed fifty pounds, coupled with the piercing, ice-cold gaze…They looked exceptionally ferocious and violent!

“My God, they lifted it in one go!”

“Just what can fight against these Giant Apes on the battlefield?”

“That’s right. Even a warhorse would be smashed flat by these clubs, much less a knight!”

…

Looking at the Giant Ape King that stood nearly ten meters tall, seeing its blood-red, violent eyes, then looking at the Giant Apes wielding the heavy obsidian clubs behind it, the group was immensely shocked. They could not imagine how terrifying of a nightmare it would be if they encountered this bunch of ferocious creatures on the battlefield!

“O’Neal, let them witness your strength!” Yang Ling smiled when he saw the people become incredibly shocked, ordering the Giant Ape King by the name of O’neal to demonstrate his strength.

“Yes, Sir!”

The Giant Ape King received his orders loudly. He decided on a giant rock the size of a small hill beside the plaza after looking around. He leaped forward like a cannonball after letting out a loud roar, moving ten meters with every step. At the end of his charge, he leaped high into the sky, then crushed downward toward the large rock with the giant metal club in his hand. Pebbles flew in all directions after a rumble was heard, the hill-sized rock in splinters. The immense speed and alarming power of the Giant Apes were displayed immaculately!

This is the strength of the Giant Apes?

Looking at the pebbles littered on the ground, looking at the awe-inspiring Giant Ape King O’Neal, the group became speechless, unable to come to their senses for the longest time. This was especially so for the Gnome Elder, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. A giant rock that harbored obsidian was split into pieces with one strike of the Giant Apes. That was unbelievable! He did not expect that the fifty-pound giant metal club would seem to weigh nothing in the hands of the Giant Apes. Even more so, he did not expect the battle capabilities of the Giant Apes to be powerful to this extent!
