The Legendary Man novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656 The Place I Am From

With that command from Joshua, the mass of spiritual energy on the ground condensed into troops, who charged toward beasts summoned by Eva like a wave.

The soldiers that Joshua had summoned had a cultivation level that was not above that of Superior Realm. They were worlds apart compared to the well-trained creatures from The Hundred Beasts.

Logically speaking, Joshua didn’t stand a chance. Shockingly, however, the number of soldiers that had been summoned was overwhelming.

There were at most a few dozen beasts summoned by Eva. On the other hand, there were at least a few hundred soldiers summoned by the Troop Summoner.

The golden leopard and all the other beasts who had dashed forward would have to take on dozens of soldiers each to even the playing field.

Eva could clearly see Joshua standing around twenty meters away, but she couldn’t close the distance between them at all.

Joshua’s eyes bulged as he sensed the spiritual energy surging through his body frantically.

At that moment, he was able to transfer his spiritual sense into the Troop Summoner and control the movements of each individual soldier.

Shutting his eyes, he suddenly appeared in front of the golden leopard. Just when it slashed at him with its enormous claws, Joshua transferred his consciousness into a soldier directly behind the leopard.

The soldier that was initially rushing forward on autopilot suddenly turned to face the leopard and jumped up, all while swinging the spear in its hand.

Roar!

The leopard let out a growl of pain. It turned and pounced at the soldier that housed Joshua’s consciousness, ripping that soldier to shreds. Unfortunately, Joshua had already moved into another soldier’s body.

Countless spears stabbed into the leopard’s body. Finally, after a few hits, the beast collapsed to the ground and disintegrated into shards of glowing light that scattered into the sky.

The leopard’s death opened up a huge path for Joshua.

Joshua’s spiritual sense was flitting around the battlefield rapidly to restrain each of the beasts’ movements.

It was only then that Eva noticed the problem.

Trying to fight against Joshua with a method like this had been a mistake.

The Hundred Beasts was an inherited magical item that required sacrifice. All of the beasts were created from the efforts of all the Salladay family’s ancestors constantly pouring their spiritual energy into it.

The process of refining an item like that was known as spiritual concealment.

As the name suggested, it entailed conserving the spiritual energy that went unused in one’s day-to-day life using a specialized method. Then, when it was time to battle, one could unleash that spiritual energy.

Because of that, the creatures formed by The Hundred Beasts would be wiped out forever once they were taken down.

Meanwhile, countless of Joshua’s troops had been torn to pieces by The Hundred Beasts. Even so, more of them kept forming from below Joshua.

It could be said that he was directly communicating with the universe using his spiritual energy.

It was impossible to use mortal power to fight against that of a god.

However, that was also the reason why Eva wanted the Troop Summoner so badly.

“Retreat!” she hollered.

She moved her hands in a complicated gesture, and the dozens of Grandmaster Realm creatures transformed into spiritual energy. They returned back to The Hundred Beasts.

“That Troop Summoner of yours is really something else, Joshua. However, it looks a little different from what I’ve seen in the records,” she commented.

While speaking, a thick wave of spiritual energy began to converge in the direction of the scroll that was flying around her.

“Ten years ago, Herman was in possession of the Troop Summoner. However, he only ever summoned three Divine Realm generals. How come you’re only able to summon Superior Realm soldiers? It’s not a knock-off, is it?” she asked.

“Does it matter if it’s a knock-off?” Joshua slowly opened his eyes as he grabbed the Troop Summoner.

He had only used the Troop Summoner for a few minutes in battle, but most of the spiritual energy in his body was already depleted.

Nevertheless, compared to the amount of spiritual energy that the Troop Summoner had consumed, the spiritual energy that Joshua expended was nothing but a drop in the ocean.

The bamboo board sort of worked like a crowbar. The amount of spiritual energy that it could gather was proportional to how long Joshua could last, much like how the strength of a crowbar was proportional to the force exerted by the person using it.

If he were truly able to summon Divine Realm spirit generals like Eva had said, that would be truly horrifying.

The scroll continued to hover around Eva’s head. Golden beams of light kept circulating around it.

It looked like something was trying to escape from the scroll.

“It doesn’t really matter. Whether it’s the real deal or not, you’re not getting away today,” Eva stated.

As she spoke, the spiritual energy within her began to swirl. Even Joshua, who was a Divine Realm cultivator as well, was startled by how powerful the waves of spiritual energy were.

Along with the bubbling spiritual energy, a pair of claws materialized on The Hundred Beasts.
