Chapter 185
The second Arthur left the general"s body, he headed straight to the surface, precisely towards where the Spatial fluctuations were denser . From the looks of it, they have changed its locations because the place he was heading to wasn"t where that fight occurred . Cautiously, with his two Senses spreading only a dozen or so meters and his aura suppressed, Arthur made his way towards the Earth Knight .
He was determined to possess it, more so when he started sensing the powerful fluctuations, even if it wasn"t certain that he"ll gain a lot of stats, the mastery in Spatial sub-attribute will help him a lot . Anything related to Spatial Magic can only be beneficial for him .
It"s true that it was quite daring and dangerous to venture alone in the main base of the gargoyles, but Arthur had many precautions set in his mind and a few trump cards used as a last resort . Worst comes to worst, he would have to unleash a devastating Rizaki, it"ll self-harm him too, and in a serious way, however, that is always better than getting caught or killed on the spot .
Approximatively ten minutes after he left Rose"s body, Arthur resurfaced inside a large empty hall where only the huge Earth Knight sat on a similar throne as the one from before .
Since his aura was ma.s.sively suppressed, adding that to possessing a three-meter tall worm specialized in invisibility, it was extremely hard to sense him unless a G.o.d focused entirely on spreading his sense in that area, which is not the case right now .
Slowly, Arthur used the worm"s body to crawl near the knight without raising any suspicions . His Sixth Sense was locked on the knight whilst his Divine Sense was surveying the countless small fluctuations, which couldn"t cause any harm but were still numerous and eye-catching .
The part where Arthur"s arrow struck was still missing, a huge hole in its abdomen . What was shocking, however, was that its body was kind of regenerating, which didn"t sound plausible, especially if it was devoured by the Void . Arthur felt a bit startled but didn"t mind it that much, this knight was not something ordinary and to be able to regenerate from that isn"t entirely impossible if it"s a being that could look down on G.o.ds .
"Let"s see how really tough you are . "
The disgusting large mouth of the worm opened, showing countless small sharp teeth . A cold surging aura came out from that bottomless hole and started manifesting in front of the mouth and in just a few seconds, a dark flaming ball with small green lines on it was conjured . Without holding back, the worm spat that ball at the motionless knight .
The dark flaming ball flew at the nearby knight with lightning speed but it suddenly stopped a few inches away from it, as if it met a resistance .
The same second the ball was resisted, countless arm-thick black lightning flew from behind and smashed at that barrier causing cracks all over it . When the cracks started appearing, Arthur was able to see the shape of the barrier, it enveloped the knight and seemed to be quite strong as it didn"t shatter even after his bombardment .
"Quite protective, are we?"
Black lightning even thicker than before flew from the worm and heavily struck the cracking barrier and in just half a minute, the cracks met each other and like shattering gla.s.s, the barrier was destroyed .
The dark flaming ball previously conjured, which was frozen mid-air after it met the barrier, seemed to have come back to life as it smashed at the abdomen of the knight, where the Heavenly Arrow struck .
Arthur wasn"t done yet, in fact, this was but the beginning . He wasn"t stupid and knew that destroying that barrier meant that the gargoyles will take notice and come at any second, so he sprang into actions .
The worm abruptly teleported in front of the knight when an explosion occurred at the other side of the hall . With an angry yet worried expression, Tarathiel appeared accompanied by Ehrendil . Their pupils were glued to the knight, which was shaking intensely due to the mysterious dark flaming ball stuck in its abdomen .
Their senses quickly caught sight of the invisible worm, which seemed to strangely float near the knight without doing a thing .
Obviously, the two G.o.ds didn"t just sit there and watch, they both flew towards the knight with their G.o.d Spirits appearing and intending to get rid of the worm, however, things didn"t go as expected .
Before they could get close, their vision turned dark due to the appearance of an extremely large dark cube . It covered the whole hall, imprisoning the worm and the knight . Furthermore, it blocked their senses from entering and blocked their view, which made their faces turn ugly, especially for Tarathiel, who didn"t the situation to suddenly turn to worse .
The formation he set around the knight should have resisted for a long time, even a first grade G.o.d can"t shatter it that fast! This made him think of the mysterious white-clothed young man, but that thought was soon abandoned as he thought of the twins . When he interrogated them a few days ago, they clearly admitted that they knew the young man but upon further investigation, they had come to a conclusion that it wasn"t their comrade as he wasn"t as strong as being able to fight against G.o.ds . From their information, their comrade was at the Divine Realm, and to make things more complicated, the mysterious person who wrecked havoc in their base was also at the Divine Realm so the clan master didn"t know which truth to believe which led him to stop thinking about for the time being and deal with Ti Eru, who seemed to have gone crazy .
. . . . .
The long body of the worm wrapped around the waist of the sitting knight, its large mouth bit on its back whilst spitting very small purple mouths, which relentlessly ate the body of the Earth Spirit, not letting ago anything, even if it was mere stone .
Arthur didn"t hold back as he used all his Nether Energy to activate Void skills and weaken the knight . His goal this time wasn"t to possess it but to "take" it with him, with enough time, he can possess it so first, he had to get out of here with the knight . The first step, which was the most difficult was surprisingly easily achieved and with the protection of the dark cube, there"s no way they would be able to catch him anytime soon . The worm silently laid around the knight as it devoured its body and spat Green Lightning and purple void mouths .
Meanwhile, inside a Spatial Pa.s.sage, a strange sight was happening . A dark ball as big as half of the dark cube was slowly contracting, each time it became smaller, the pressure it emanated multiplied until it started reaching a terrifying degree that even made the pa.s.sage vibrate slowly as if it couldn"t hold on .
With everything going smoothly and exactly as planned, albeit a bit easier, Arthur didn"t dare to act c.o.c.ky or overconfident, he just laid that and patiently wait for the things to end .
"It"s all about time . Whether you can make it in time or not depends on breaking my sweet box, have fun, dear G.o.ds . "
