Chapter 385
The flames scorched everything but were unable to directly destroy Arthur’s Dark Barrier . He crushed two of the support talisman he hand on his sleeve . One boosting his movement speed and the other increasing his attack speed .
Without resorting to useless skills, Arthur immediately attacked with [Dark Rain], which is a combination of a hundred Heavenly Arrows .
Obviously, individually, they’re weaker than a normal Heavenly Arrow, however, their might cannot be underestimated when they strike together .
The sea of flames was pierced by countless dark arrows that descended on the snake, hitting its body and causing it to fall from the sky .
Seeing the minimal damage such a powerful skill did, Arthur wasn’t fazed . The snake opened its mouth again and spat a weird-looking fireball that was red in color .
Fortunately, its speed was slow, however, its target wasn’t Arthur but his spirit . Forced to face head-on, Arthur stretched both of his hands and flapped both of his wings, which started shining with a a white and grey light .
A lance of life and a lance of death appeared in his left and right hand, respectively . He unhesitatingly threw the two of them at the red fireball .
The two flying lances, which had two opposing attributes, rotating in a circle until they fused . Soon, the result of this fusion clashed with the large fireball .
Arthur’s Dark Barrier shattered along with his second layer of defense, which was a watery surface . He hastily grabbed the space in front of him and forcefully pulled . It was like pulling a blanket, he diverted the direction of the destruction, which was initially going towards him .
The clash happened too to close him and he can’t afford to move for it’ll disturb the Earth Spirit . The Dark-Star Strengthening technique boosted his defense and protected him from any serious damage . He received a few injuries which were healed in less than two seconds .
Like a shooting dark star, Arthur flew straight at the snake and viciously punched it . He used the [Heavenly Mountain Fist] and [Dark Burst], causing some of the red and tough scales of the snake to bend and crack . Some blood oozed from the injury and the big body of the snake, which wasn’t fast enough to react, was pushed a hundred meters .
The injury wasn’t severe and with the big body of the snake, it was like a needle’s stab, painful but not threatening .
However, Arthur has just began . [Eternium] and [Transmutation] were activated, boosting his stats . His speed surpassed lightning as he became illusory, circling around the large body of the snake and bombarding it with kicks and punches .
Only after fifteen seconds did the snake retaliate as it coiled it body and loudly hissed . Arthur, who suddenly backed away, felt his body plummeting and his balance lost . The gravity increased by several levels and his speed was greatly reduced .
Not only that, the snake suddenly straightened its long body and dived from the sky, planning to crash into the Tri-Spirit and destroy everything in its way .
Seeing this, Arthur’s paled as he wasn’t sure if he could forcefully stop the snake . Sure, given enough time, he can slowly kill it, however, to send it flying when it has such a strong defense and large body, it’s a bit far-fetched .
As it left a trail of flames behind it, the snake’s shadow covered a third of this mountain . With no choice but to rely on pure Strength, Arthur appeared in front of the snake, with only a small distance separating them .
He activated [Griffin’s Bloody Switch] more than five times, converting all his Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Vitality, and Agility to Strength .
As he had to resort to using skills like [Blood for Blood] which ignored a skill’s cooldown on the cost of permanent Mental Power, Arthur’s cultivation halted for a second before it continued leaping grades .
His right fist started shining with a bright golden light as he opened his hand, showing an illusory golden palm, which was incredibly small compared to the enormous body of the flame snake .
A palm that had over ten billion strength behind it, as one would expect, the might of such an attack wasn’t simple .
The impact between the snake and the palm caused a shock wave that traveled for thousands of miles, frightening all the cultivators and even the fleeing Vyncent .
There was a hidden silhouette, which was silently staring at the fight between Arthur and the snake . He was the blind man from Black Rose . The more he witnessed what’s happening, the more amazed he became .
Upon seeing the powerful shockwave, which caused someone like him to back away a few steps, he started feeling a bit of fear from Arthur .
"Indeed, I wasn’t strong enough when I decided to follow him . "
He had been stalking Arthur for some time now . He couldn’t catch up to him when he was traveling to this place but since he kind of guessed his destination, he wasn’t worried that he’ll lose him .
[Unparalleled Golden Palm] was the strongest martial technique in Arthur’s arsenal . Moreover, his mastery in it reached perfection, which made it more domineering .
Unlike the damage done previously, this attack of Arthur’s was able to send the snake flying in the air as large volumes of blood gushed out of its body .
Although he managed to cause considerable damage to his enemy, Arthur’s palm was shaking ever-so-slightly . Again, he sacrificed Mental Power to convert all his stat points into Intelligence .
With such a mind-numbing amount of intelligence, Arthur activated Rizaki . Its purpose wasn’t to injure the snake but to buy some time as there were only a few seconds left before the Earth Spirit is done .
The heat from the snake and the raging volcano suddenly vanished and was replaced by a chilling wind that lasted for a few seconds before the whole mountain turned blue .
Ice covered the trees and the flying Snake, who was frozen-mid air .
The old man, whose attention was focused on the fight, never ceased to be bewildered . Rizaki’s effects reached him, causing him to feel an extreme coldness that almost froze his bones .
If not for activating his Nether Energy to drive out this coldness, he would have met the same fate as the snake .
The mountain and the snake remained frozen for exactly six seconds and by the time the ice shattered, the golden cyclone disappeared as it was fully absorbed by the the Tri-Spirit .
"Allow me to assist you . "
Arthur’s cultivation reached the Peak of God Realm, only a small step away from becoming a Sovereign .
The spirit entered Arthur’s consciousness and immediately initiated its assault . Like Arthur, the enraged snake, which was just about to attack Arthur, felt a sudden heaviness as its body rapidly fell from the sky .
The Gravity it was subjugating Arthur to was negated by the Tri-Spirit . As its body heavily crashed into the mountain, an enormous, almost illusory grey tornado that slowly spun, appeared above the snake, causing it to wail in agony as spat large amounts of blood .
Arthur continued the combo by sending a 300m-long Dark Heavenly Arrow, which was the strongest Heavenly Arrow he ever created as it was conjured by using more ten billion points in Intelligence .
The Heavenly Arrow flew straight at the snake, which created some sort of a flame shield that defended its front .
The arrow hit the shield and slowly but surely corrupted it . Arthur didn’t remain there to watch, he waved his hand, unleashing countless small Void Mouths that ate the flame shield and allowed the arrow to hit the snake, causing a large and bloody hole to appear in its body .
Desperate and angry at Arthur, the snake ferociously shook its body and hastily slithered to the peak of the mountain and entered the raging volcano .
Arthur didn’t follow it but wasn’t going to abandon a heavily prey either . If he could obtain its crystal, he’ll become a Sovereign .
The whole mountain shook, trees were uprooted or destroyed . The volcano erupted and caused an ear-deafening explosion which caused the earth to track .
From within the volcano, the snake appeared, totally unscathed as its body was covered in boiling magma, it grew bigger as it hissed at Arthur in anger .
Arthur used [Assault of Darkness], entrapping the strengthened snake into a world of darkness and increasing its vulnerability to magic .
After buying himself ten seconds, Arthur’s eyes shone with blue light as he slowed time and started casting his skill .
White thunder twirled around him, the thunderclaps were loud and deafening . Slowly but surely, the white thunder started materializing .
Just as the ten seconds passed, a white dragon made of pure white thunder was facing the snake . The Tri-Spirit acted quickly as thick dark chains sprung from the earth and wrapped themselves around the snake, momentarily immobilizing it .
Though the snake tried to use its magma to melt the chains, its attempts were futile . The lightning dragon roared loudly as it dived at the bound snake . It didn’t unleash any special attack, it literally used its body to crash into the snake, causing the Godly White Thunder to cause monstrous damage .
Arthur coughed a bit of blood, nonetheless, he continued to attack as he appeared next to the snake and stopped time again .
The snake was severely injured, he just needs to poke where it hurt to end it once and for all . He stretched his left hand which unleashed an absurd amount of death energy .
His hand became creepy and rotten as it fiercely held the scale of the snake . Arthur used one of the deadly properties of Death Magic, withering .
The hot scales became withered and in a few seconds, it turned into ash . Just like that, the withering was like a festering wound, stretching to all of the snake’s body and killing it .
The beast wriggled its body to get rid of Arthur, who remained stubborn and never let go . In less than twenty seconds, the snake lifelessly fell on the ground . Arthur didn’t wither its whole body so he can possess it and obtain the life crystal in its head .
