Chapter 316: You Are Lorius (1/2)

”He's not regenerating,” Arthur muttered and jumped to avoid the giant wolf's claw. ”Is it because he was frozen?” He couldn't think of any other explanation. ”Dia!”

”Get frozen!” Dia soared behind Arthur and clapped her hands. An Ice Domain began to freeze the surrounding. Traitor's moves became more sluggish, and Arthur found his opening.

”Now!” Arthur bolted forward as he used his release rune to burn half of his mana. After he restructured his soul, his mana increased by a large margin.

The power held within his ethereal fist was nothing that his right arm can wield. Arthur realized this was the reason for the increase in his strength. The semi-physical arm wouldn't get hurt even if he channeled all the power from the Release Rune, unlike his previous left arm.

Arthur couldn't raise his fist suddenly because it was impossible to wield this amount of power with his stats. The only reason that he could summon this power was the spiritual arm that he created.

”Rise!” Arthur gritted his teeth. He held his semi-ethereal arm with his right hand and raised it toward the sky.

A gush of power exploded toward the sky like a canon and dispersed the clouds rooming over Shades City. The blood moon's light covered every canny of the city, turning it into a red hell.

”Seika!” Gala shouted in a worried tone that made Arthur's heart feel warm. He gritted his teeth as the golden color condensed toward his arm.

”You are mine,” Arthur said to the power within his ethereal arm. ”And you shall obey.” He retracted his hand and prepared to punch the giant wolf. Feeling his imminent death, Traitor turned around to flee the scene.

”Freeze!” Dia threw her hands up, and an ice wall surrounded the ice domain. The wolf had nowhere to run and decided to jump up the wall, no matter how high it was.

”You just made things easier for me.” Arthur gave a crazed grin as he punched toward the running wolf.

The power that he burned half of his mana to use combined with the energy in the ethereal arm to create the most destructive attack Arthur can make.

The punch destroyed everything its path, creating a deep trench beneath it as the power traveled toward the wolf. The ice broke apart, and the attack obliterated everything behind it.

Like thunderclaps, his attack exploded and reached the giant wolf, which howled toward the sky for more power. Traitor clapped his hand as a large amount of blood left his body and created a barrier.

Arthur felt a powerful recoil from his attack as if he had just struck space itself. His feet left the ground as he was sent flying by his attack's recoil.

He crashed into a building and broke through the walls until he ended up crashing into one of the rooms in it and stopping. Luckily, he managed to create a barrier in time that protected him until his momentum decreased.

”Seika!” Gala appeared in the hole that he left in the walls and rushed to aid him. Arthur stood up on his own before she could lift him and dusted himself.

”That attack was satisfying.” Arthur smiled childishly. ”I hope it was enough to kill that bastard.” He walked past Gala as she looked at him with shock.

”That's not the problem anymore.” Gala ran after him to catch up. Arthur was confused by her words but kept walking toward the hole to see what happened.

”Hm?” Arthur blinked. ”Did I fly in another direction?” Arthur frowned and turned around. Gala shook her head as she stood beside him.

”That's what your attack did.” She pointed at the clearing in front of them. ”That wolfman is dead; even a vampire wouldn't survive. The only problem is...”

”The buildings are gone,” Arthur muttered in a dazed manner. ”Maybe I went a little too far.” Arthur peeked from the hole and saw the buildings beside his attack's trajectory. The aftermath of his attack ruined half of them.

”A little?” Gala was speechless. ”I admit the wolf wouldn't have died without that much power, but you just.... destroyed quarter of the city.”

”Is that the consequences of my actions?” Arthur blinked twice. ”Were there any victims?”

”Not that we know of. We evacuated everyone to an underground shelter.” Gala explained.

”Good, we need to act fast.” Arthur nodded. Gala looked at him, waiting for his orders. ”Now it's time we find out the truth.” He spoke.

”What are you talking about?” Gala was confused.

”Hehe, that monster isn't dead.” Arthur grinned and jumped from the building. ”It's just hiding inside of that giant body.”
