Chapter 206
Arthur patiently waited for the perfect chance to strike . With the Spatial Master present, he couldn"t attack whenever he wished, he needed to be precise and see how fast the reaction of the enemy is .
He decided to only attack at the 5th Eft attack, which was launched by three efts, which charged simultaneously from three different directions . Despite the supposedly surprised attack, most of the group were careful and were not surprised by the appearance of the three giant creatures .
Albeit being on full alert, some of them were affected by the technique of the efts" eyes and were paralyzed, which rendered them useless in the incoming battle .
Looking from below, Arthur"s gaze locked on the blurry figure just behind Kai Min, his full attention was focused on the Spatial Master but his target was the boy next to the master . He can"t attack the Spatial Master directly lest it makes him cautious and when he really attacks in the future, his planned sneak attack wouldn"t work as perfectly as he expects it to be .
As he possessed the body of the big carnivorous plant, Arthur sent his extremely long vines to the surface with extreme speed . He wasn"t going to show his real body due to many reasons, moreover, he doesn"t know the full strength of the enemy and he can"t be that careless despite knowing how strong he really was if he were to go all out . After all, he isn"t using [Trans.m.u.tation], neither will he use Dark Magic or the Void Magic . He isn"t possessing the Silver Wolf body either, but this plant could activate many pa.s.sives, which were, obviously activated in this situation .
Ten vines with a thickness of a normal adult tree charged from within the water and headed towards Kai Min . The youth was distracted as he dealt with two efts at the same time which made him unable to react in time to avoid the approaching black vines . With the Evra Plants avoiding him and the Efts focusing on the humans, Arthur was easily able to bypa.s.s the big number of disciples and aimed his vines at Kai Min, without mercy or holding back his Strength .
One has to know that for Arthur, the thing he is most proud of right now is his unmatchable speed . Amongst all G.o.ds, he was certain that he is one of the fastest, and knowing that possessing an ant, or a plant won"t decrease his Agility stats, which affected his speed in a big way, the vines also gained his extreme speed which rendered Kai Min completely unable to cope with the fast vines and could only show a desperate look as he used his free hand to take out a priceless treasure to defend . Even at such a time, he wasn"t confident in the Spatial Master to defend him due to how fast the vines were .
For Arthur, Kai Min had no value, if he were to die then it"ll make things way easier but he knew since his sect invited the Spatial Master, and him being a genius with high status, it won"t be easy to kill him under the watch of the master unless he were to go all out and avoid the rest which is something unreasonable as it"ll attract other G.o.ds and they will undoubtedly help Kai Min if he were to put good conditions whilst Arthur was completely alone .
A cold snort resounded as the air around the ten vines seemed to shatter which caused them to be cut into pieces and fall on the water .
Arthur still wasn"t fazed by how easily it was deflected since this body wasn"t ideal, to begin with, and he was only using vines devoid of any skills . With his high vitality and the pa.s.sive to regrow vines within a short time frame, the cut-down vines were back as if new in a matter of seconds . This time, the ten black vines had black flames burning on them but the flames did no damage, they were the effect of Zodiak"s ring, which added damage to his attacks with the help of the black flames .
"I guess I should spice things up too, it"ll be too boring if it"s like this . "
Just like a bit earlier, ten black vines surrounded by ominous black flames surged from within the water and flew towards Kai Min with lightning speed, making the latter"s face as white as a sheet of paper . Previously, he sighed a breath of relief when he saw the black vines cut down and were grateful to the Spatial Master, but he was still feeling afraid of the vines as they were just too fast . He had already a.s.sumed that whatever was attacking him with the vines was a G.o.dly Beast .
This time, there was no cold snort coming from the nothingness behind Kai Min, but the s.p.a.ce around the incoming vines still shattered, causing their speed to slow down by a bit, however, contrary to the shrouded person"s expectations, the shattering s.p.a.ce wasn"t nearly enough to cut down the black vines, which regained their incredible speed as soon as the s.p.a.ce-fixed itself .
Due to underestimating the burning vines, the Spatial Master had no time to mess around, he finally took his opponent seriously when he saw how close the vines were to Kai Min and how deadly they were .
At last, the Spatial Master appeared from behind the Spatial Curtain and raised his withered hand towards the ten vines, which cl.u.s.tered near each other to form some sort of a spinning drill with a pointy purple tip .
In fact, Arthur used a bit of Void Magic to test how the other party would respond . Void was the main attribute and s.p.a.ce was its sub-attribute, despite having a high mastery in Void, that didn"t mean one should have a perfect mastery in its sub-attributes . A mage who is good at Water attribute doesn"t necessarily have Ice attribute, much less have a good control over it .
It takes years to make sub-attributes surface and even longer time to perfectly master them, which is why Arthur wasn"t willing to invest time in training s.p.a.ce Attribute . He hasn"t much time, that is the problem, he was against sitting in a cave for G.o.d knows how much time to master an attribute .
. . . .
The drill-like object stopped inches away from the withered of the Spatial Master, who was actually an old man wearing a small gray hood which covered his head . Arthur felt that the vines he was controlling were heavy as if a mountain was pressing on them . Without hesitation, he activated the Void Attribute, which was manifested in the purple pointy tip of the drill . A small l.u.s.ter of violet light emanated from the tip which crushed whatever was holding down the vines, the drill managed to force its way to the old man, who was shaken yet again but he wasn"t the least bit afraid or concerned .
The withered hand was clenched, forming a fist and was followed by a low and emotionless voice
"s.p.a.ce Shackles . "
Transparent chains, which appeared from nothingness, wrapped themselves around the drill and forced it to go downwards, cras.h.i.+ng heavily on the waters and creating large waves . A whirlpool was created due to the Void magic which absorbed water nonstop, there was even a miserable eft which turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist due to the collateral damage of the spinning drill and the pointy tip constructed from pure Void Magic .
"2 million Health Points . . . this is nothing . I guess he isn"t serious . . yet . "
Arthur didn"t mind losing that amount of Health, he activated the Pain Immunity so he wasn"t feeling anything . He left the plant"s body and aimed for an eft which was waiting for a good opportunity to show up and attack one of the youngsters .
Since his speed was beyond what the eft could react to, he possessed it in a flash after finis.h.i.+ng it with a thick bolt of Natural Lightning that struck its body and burst its heart almost instantaneously .
"I guess without fighting personally, he won"t go all out, but it"s fine this way too . "
Using the eft"s large body, Arthur got out of the water and randomly attacked a disciple without using any flashy attacks, he opened his mouth to swallow a poor kid only to be struck by Kai Min"s, who came at him with fast speed and slashed with his saber .
With Kai Min coming to attack, the old man was obviously behind him but this time, he wasn"t shrouded and invisible which made the youngsters look at him with curiosity and awe .
As the saber cut a deep wound on the large eft, the monster howled in pain which made Kai Min proud of his attack but he soon found that something was amiss when he noticed that the eft was howling in pain but wasn"t pushed back, unlike the rest of the previous efts, which would cower back and flee immediately .
Alas, Kai Min"s reactions were a second too late, the eft opened its mouth and spat a weird deep green liquid . Even the Spatial Master wasn"t able to save him as the liquid splashed on his skin and clothes, make the boy writhe in pain and scream in agony .
In a burst of anger, the Spatial Master, who was preoccupied with whatever controlled those vines, attacked the eft without holding back .
Arthur felt a strong force bind his "body" down, he wasn"t able to move an inch as he felt as if he was locked in a separate dimension . However, that didn"t last long as his Dark-Star Body Strengthening Technique self-activated itself, shattering this separate dimension and creating a transparent protective layer around the eft .
The old man didn"t seem to mind what happened as he viciously punched the eft, which literally cut the monster in two . The two parts of fell on the water, never to be seen again .
Arthur, who decided not to act, lost 40 million Health but he wasn"t that worried . With his high Health Recovery stats, that amount of Health will recover in no time .
He didn"t have a full grasp of how powerful the opponent is, but at least he saw some of his moves . Nonetheless, if his plants proceeded as expected, he doesn"t even need to fight this fellow, it will be one deadly and thorough attack with no means of retaliation whatsoever .
Arthur left the eft"s body and dived deep underwater . He took out a bone shark from his storage and possessed it . Having fast swimming speed allows him to cross the swamp easier and adding [Sneak Max lv] along with [Silent Steps Max Lv] and [Noise Control] made him able to pa.s.s undetected by the lurking monsters underwater . Moreover, the shark had pointy bones at the front, which made it almost perfect for drilling the earth .
His plan was set in motion, the poison he spat on Kai Min was not fatal but it caused severe pain, almost unbearable . Furthermore, the same kind of GPS was hidden in one of the youngsters who was rather close to Kai Min, a male with the name of Seralo . It was this young man that Arthur decided to possess when he was going to launch his move against the Spatial Master .
