Chapter 222: Raid (1/2)

”Well, that wasn't so bad. We're raiding this together in the end! May the strongest awakener win!” Arthur turned to face Rae but Trevor answered in her stead.

”Not so fast, I'll have you stay here. We can't let you hinder us. I'm sorry Miss Rae, I'll have to stop you right there.” Trevor said as he unbuttoned his sleeves. ”By force, if I have to.”

The moment Trevor finished his words, Arthur appeared next to him. He patted his shoulder with a smile as he passed him by.

”I'll leave you two love birds here, I'm winning this.” He whispered and rushed forward as Trevor stood there, stunned.

'I'm not doing that good at keeping low,' Arthur thought to himself as he sprinted forward. He heard Trevor's roar behind him, asking his followers to stop Arthur. 'Fuck keeping low. If things come down to it, I'll fake my death again.'

Arthur knew that he would walk around the academy unhindered if he had fewer eyes on him. However, he wasn't going to allow people to step on him simply because he was cautious. His mindset changed about the situation and he would use his strength if necessary.

”Catch him!” Trevor kept roaring with rage as he clutched his shoulder. The look he had was of pure shock and humiliation of what Arthur just did.

”Do you think you can stop me, Trevor?” Rae grinned like a wild beast. ”You can try. I did want to beat you up for a while now.”

Trevor gritted his teeth as mana seeped from his body threateningly. It began manifesting half a body of a black knight behind him.

”Heh, I always wanted to fight against another Manifester.” Rae grinned as her white scarf surrounded, hugging her tightly. ”But I have a bet to win, so brace yourself.”

By this time, Arthur was already a distance away. However, the alliance of awakeners has already spread in the ruins, making it impossible to avoid them.

As they heard Trevor's command, they assembled and blocked Arthur's path. He didn't choose to stop and kept sprinting at full speed.

”Dalo!” One of them shouted and a giant man stepped in. He clapped his hands as a giant wall appeared, blocked Arthur's path completely.

Arthur increased his speed as he saw the giant man frown. He was probably from Halin with his stature and Arthur heard him mumble something in a foreign language.

The moment the collision was about to happen, Arthur slipped into his shadow like a pebble falling into a pond. The last thing he saw was Dalo's stunned face.

”It's a skill!”

He appeared behind the group as he heard their shouts. Arthur kept sprinting forward as he saw an ancient knight rush forward to stop him.

'Let the diversion begin.' Arthur stopped and waited for the knight to get closer as he flexed his arm backward. The moment the knight was close, Arthur punched with all of his might.

There was a resounding dull voice as if Arthur struck a hollow tank before the knight was sent flying, a giant dent in its chest.

However, it was still alive and Arthur rushed forward to send another kick toward its armor, breaking it in half. The knight's hands glowed as several swords appeared around it and rushed flying toward Arthur.

This was one of the monster's skills and it was bothersome to deal with unless you had an ability like Dalo from earlier. Arthur was tempted to use his barrier, but he simply used his shadow space skill again.

The more cards that he reveals, the more questions would be asked. He was already pushing it with this show of strength and he didn't know if Linan's son's identity could handle it.

Arthur appeared above the knight and punched it again. The armor broke down as the mob surrounded him but Arthur was already on the move toward another one.

”Not so fast!” Dalo shouted and constructed a wall around them, trapping Arthur in the middle. Seeing this, Arthur sighed and was about to use his skill again when the soil around him began gathering around his feet and solidifying.

”Hehe, now wait here like a good boy.” A girl with a curly ginger head laughed from Dalo's group and laughed. Arthur turned to face them and engraved their faces in his memory.

”You're a good group. Why would you follow others?” He asked as he tilting his head. Dalo's face grew dark as he spat.

”None of your business.”

”Hmm,” Arthur nodded. ”Alright. You still can't stop me.” With a tug of his legs, Arthur broke down the soil around him.

”Storm!” Dalo shouted as the dirt rose in the air and began whirling around Arthur.
