Chapter 209
With an extra powerful hand tagging along with them, Kithel and Emily’s harvest could be considered unmatched by any of the other groups, it even surpassed the big factions which brought a lot of disciples . Emily was beaming with smiles whenever a God beast was killed . She already considered herself the youth’s friend despite him not talking to her, not even a single time .
Kithel’s suspicions decreased as time passed, he couldn’t find a good enough reason to accuse him of being a spy of some sort .
Just like that, the week peacefully passed, more or less, and from Emily’s point of view, her relationship with the stranger has greatly improved . However, there was only a slight change, he only started accepting her existence rather than ignoring her completely .
. . . .
Going back to Arthur, since the moment he separated from the red-haired youth, he made full use of the bone shark to travel deep into the forest and reach some ancient runes with broken buildings scattered everywhere . He created a large enough cave for him to live in and secluded himself .
More and more people will be arriving and since he hid in the entrance to the actual tomb, those large sects would definitely pass through her . What’s more, he doesn’t have anything to do in the meantime and could only use this time to train his [Alchemy] skill . Since he got it, he never trained it seriously despite knowing how effective it is .
Not only could he concoct pills that restore Nether Energy at a massive rate, he should be able to create more miraculous pills which he looked forward to . Normally, alchemists would pass years or decades in seclusion for a better learning experience but he only had less than a week .
Although Arthur was interested in Alchemy, to say that he will put his heart into it is a bit far-fetched . He’s only going to train in it to prepare a few things in case the plan didn’t go expected . One cannot predict the future and it is better to be safe than sorry .
It has been quite some time since he obtained the special flame that is needed for Alchemy . As his hands nimbly moved around and the mysterious grey flame did its job in burning the materials and plants, Arthur proceeded to follow some of Zodiak’s notes and using the stolen talent of alchemy to concoct some pills .
The process was smoother than expected thanks to his perfect control of fire, he could alternate between temperature whenever he wants and the notes of Zodiak were accurate .
Normally, an apprentice alchemist would concoct one pill out of ten tries, however, Arthur somehow managed to successfully concoct four out of ten after spending three days of hard work . Of course, he didn’t forget to meditate to gain some Mental Power and even used a couple of undead knights to lure some God beasts nearby . Since this was the central part of this small realm and with the existence of the ruins and so on, the God beast tend to avoid this but the undead was quite provocative which enraged those beasts .
In one week, Arthur possessed three God beasts, which he slaughtered inside that cave . The Knights would lead them through a tunnel full of traps and Arthur would finish the job using the bone shark body . Although God beasts are not to be underestimated, with a flawless sneak attack from Arthur, the beasts could roar desperately before it they met their end .
The three God beasts gave him a decent amount of stats, which further strengthened his overall prowess and boosted his confidence .
**********************
There was only less than a day left for the closure of the tomb, Arthur saw many factions and strong powers head for the ruins, including Cold Sword and even Kithel, Emily, And the red-haired youth . He patiently waited for his targets and prepared himself fully for what’s about to happen as it is certain that bloody fights will occur, but no matter what, he will emerge victorious with the body of the Spatial Master .
As he silently meditated with both eyes closed, Arthur sensed a slight vibration which was followed by numerous red dots entering the radius of his map . The safest way to enter the ruins is this way, so Arthur hid here so he can monitor who entered .
The red dots where Elo Huo’s group, which just entered the ruins . Most of the disciples were dirty and injured, only Elo Huo and the woman with him seemed fine . Arthur immediately acted when he saw them, using the body of a double-headed God beast that he killed three days ago, he headed towards them with lightning speed .
The first to react was the head of the group, he sensed danger and immediately invoked a special treasure to defend against whatever was coming right at them . Although they managed to arrive here, it was only due to a special stinky fruit that made the God beast purposely let them pass, so to speak they did not fight any God beast not were they able to .
With a surprised expression, Elo Huo didn’t hesitate and activated his treasure . It was actually an old looking lantern with a flickering golden flame inside of it, it looked as if it would be extinguished at any second, a simple breeze might be enough to do the job .
Even Arthur was a bit startled yet he didn’t stop, in fact, he accelerated and headed directly toward the lantern, which slowly opened, bringing with it the intense heat that could melt snow mountains in mere seconds .
Elo Huo felt a bit relieved when he saw the golden flames released, with those kinds of flames, even a God beast would not be able to survive . He held an important position in the academy so the elders gave a life-saving treasure of his choice .
He chose an old lantern which had Golden Crow flames burning inside of it and if it’s released then the target would be incinerated . Even Gods are fearful of such flames, after all, the Golden Crow is one of the twelve Mythical Beasts .
The two mouths of the leopard opened and spat dark red flames that met with the golden flame which turned into a majestic crow . The crowd of disciples freaked out as girls screamed and boys trembled from fear . The sheer size and appearance of the two-headed leopard are enough to scare any one of them who were only used to weak beasts .
Elo Huo stood next to his woman and revealed a smug smile, proud of the power of his lantern, however, things didn’t happen as he expected . The leopard spat strange dark red flames that clashed with the golden crow, their clash caused shaking across the whole area . The ruins were burning due to the scattering of flames from both sides .
Arthur didn’t bypass the crow, he wanted to see how strong are his flames compared to this one . The leopard roared as two-three meter long wings made from pure flames were created on his back, adding to the pressure it was emanating, furthermore, the two mouths opened against and large waves of Ancient Fire were spat . Since it cost naught to use Ancient Fire, Arthur didn’t hold back and unleashed large fireballs, intending to resist the Golden Crow .
Despite his unceasing bombardment, the Golden Crow seemed alright as it crushed the incoming fireballs with its legs after a bit of resistance . Arthur kept firing nonstop until the Golden Crow had enough of it, it screeched loudly and waved its wings, heading straight at the leopard .
Intending for this since the beginning, Arthur responded to that annoying screech with a furious roar and flapped his wings, charging straight at the flaming ’bird’ . This time, he didn’t spit any fireballs or use any fire-related skills, he stretched his paws and slashed at the Golden Crow, which came down from above, illuminating the gloomy sky with bright golden color followed by an intense wave of heat that even suffocated the owner of the lantern .
Charging his hit with [Dark Burst] and using Void Attribute, the violet sharp claws cut through the golden flames, absorbing it as if it was nothing . The Claws were unhindered as they cut the Golden Crow and forced it to return to the lantern in a very weakened state . Arthur then teleported next Elo Huo, who was dumbfounded and unable to comprehend what just happened . He had complete confidence in his treasure to the point that he never imagined losing it, which just happened . Before he could react in time, his hand which was holding the lantern was literally ripped off as one of the two head of the leopard tore it off viciously .
Surprisingly, the leopard didn’t finish off Elo Huo, instead, it headed towards the hole on the ground and disappeared from their view in a split second .
Currently, Arthur was laughing inside as he was possessing the body of the woman who was always next to Elo Huo . When he put the GPS on that boy, he intended to possess him but changed his target to this woman because Elo Huo seemed to trust her a lot which would facilitate the plan .
As for the Leopard, it was briefly controlled via threads, he only had to control until it escaped the senses of the lurking strong powers .
He was able to possess the woman the second he bit off Elo Huo’s arm, he left the Leopard’s body and used [Faster Than Death] and possessed it almost immediately without grabbing the attention of anyone . At this stage, possessing takes less than a second, and the teleportation was instant, moreover, the crowd was focused on the leopard and Elo Huo, who was screaming loudly from the agonizing pain .
Just as the Leopard disappeared, two red beams of light flew across the skies and appeared near the screaming Elo Huo .
