Chapter 281
After seven or eight bashes, the Azure Dragon became entirely unrecognizable . Arthur enjoyed the new sight as he lifted the bronze platform one final time and used all of his strength to deal the final blow .
Unlike his previous attacks, a small amount of Natural Lightning was added to the bronze platform, increasing its attack power . With thin green lightning bolts twirling all around the platform, Arthur smashed down without showing any hesitation .
An explosive sound was heard on the contact, and with that blow, all that was left of the Divine Beast was a big blood mist that vanished right after due to the howling winds that dispersed it swiftly .
"20 seconds left . "
His copy"s voice rang in his ears, telling him about the remaining time and at the same time urging him to finish this once and for all .
With the Azure Dragon turned into a blood mist, the Vermillion Bird disposed of by the kind thunder sword, all that was left was the annoying White Tiger, which actually managed to survive his previous blow, one way or another .
Arthur"s current sense was extremely wide, even against the White Tiger, which specializes in speed, it is almost impossible to escape from him .
"Still, to think a mighty Divine Beast is fleeing like this, where"s their pride . "
As he clicked his tongue, Arthur ripped the s.p.a.ce and casually entered, appearing thousands of miles away, exactly in front of the White Tiger, which had blood leaking from its mouth and shattered claws . It seemed to be in a miserable state, from the looks of it, however, it can still fight and unleash powerful attacks and as for why it chose it to run, only it knows the real reason .
Without letting it the time to react to his sudden appearance, Arthur appeared behind it, grabbing the tiger by its tail, then he started spinning with incredible speed .
Both the man and the tiger left afterimages as they kept spinning while creating a sharp wind tornado around them . After spinning for two seconds, Arthur let go of the tail thus resulting in the tiger to be flung off far away like a meteor .
This wasn"t the end as he ripped s.p.a.ce again and reappeared directly in front of the flying tiger, which will b.u.mp into him in less than a second .
Arthur"s fist emitted a green light as it punched the tiger"s body, the beast howled from the pain when Arthur"s fist bypa.s.sed its tough defenses and its hard fur, going through the skin and the bones .
A b.l.o.o.d.y hole bigger than the fist could be seen on the chest of the miserable tiger, its body convulsed as it floated mid-air, appearing about to fall into the abyss at any second .
"Alright, it"s time for a farewell . "
Arthur backed off and stared coldly at the White Tiger, which no longer was beautiful looking or majestic . All its aloofness was gone now that death was closing in, it repeatedly spat weird looking acid on its b.l.o.o.d.y wounds, trying to heal itself .
Arthur raised his hand, which had countless small lightning snakes dancing around it . The green snakes flew above his hand and started merging with each other until a large lightning dragon appeared behind him .
The dragon had two red crystal-like eyes and a ferocious aura enveloping it . This dragon was pretty similar to Yamak, the one Arthur fought in the past, and thanks to the deceased lightning dragon, he gained its high Lightning resistance, including its powerful skills .
With a slight wave of Arthur"s hand signaling his intentions, the lightning dragon behind him twirled in the air as it dived at the White Tiger, cras.h.i.+ng into him violently and causing ma.s.sive amounts of Natural Lightning to invade the Divine Beast"s body, leaving it in a state of complete paralysis .
This, however, wasn"t the end as Yamak"s imitation used it"s ma.s.sive and long body to envelop the tiger like a snake and tighten its body, trying to crush its opponent and turn it into a meat paste .
Arthur"s eyes were closed as he paid no more attention the White Tiger, he was trying to figure out a solution while listening to the commands of his copy, trying to aid him(the copy) in imitating the chains from before and try to limit his physique, at least for a while for that will buy him a few more days .
A red pillar of light came flying from the East, its speed was so fast that even Arthur was incapable of dodging in time, albeit his current powerful physique .
By the time he reacted, the pillar of red light was already upon him . Before it could touch him, a blinding golden radiance came out from within his consciousness, conjuring into a formidable s.h.i.+eld that blocked the mysterious light . As he looked at the red light, which was only three meters away from him, Arthur could feel a familiar violent aura from it, it contained unrestrained savagery that could make anyone suffocate just by being close it .
The instant he felt it, he remembered the time where he invaded a foreign world from the Human Emperor"s castle, the world inhabited by evil and barbaric Race, a place where humans were used as objects, a statue worse than a slave!
"It"s them! Bucama"s race!"
Regarding this race, Arthur harbored nothing but hate and anger, he was disgusted with them and couldn"t bring and thought of them as nothing but pure evil, something that should never exist .
He knew that they were hiding on the Eastern Continent but he never expected them to launch a sneak attack when he was fighting the Divine Beasts . From the info he had gotten from Jackob and Anasta.s.sia, these monsters were powerful but not the point that they can threaten an Immortal, much less a G.o.d .
For Curtis to personally make a move and protect him, that red pillar of light is surely something out of the ordinary, something that could seriously injure him if not kill him on the spot .
Curtis is no idiot, he is fully aware of Arthur"s current physique and its heaven-defying prowess yet he still chose to act which only means that these monsters have incredibly strong leaders that remained hidden to not attract attention, or that their magic is strong and could even allow a Spirit Realm to injure a G.o.d, but such an a.s.sumption is a bit far-fetched, or so thought Arthur .
"It"s those abominations, the Cthulhu . "
"Cthulhu?"
"Yes, a very ancient race, older than even the t.i.tans . Their spells that fatal to any Race, it"s a bit similar to black magic but much stranger and bloodier . "
Arthur pondered for a few seconds as he waited for his copy to offer a possible solution . The s.h.i.+eld conjured by Curtis was resisting the pillar of red light, however, that"s not a permanent solution, he needs to act and doesn"t want to ruin thing by unleas.h.i.+ng multiple defensive skills that may or may not cause the red light to become stronger .
He felt a small suction power coming from that light, just being close to it drained his power, little by little, the amount was negligible but if he remained here for enough time, he"ll turn into a skeleton for sure .
After ten or so seconds pa.s.sed, the copy spoke again
"Actually, this isn"t a bad thing, we could use it efficiently . It really came at the right time . "
