Chapter 45 - 45 : Heavenly Arrow (2/2)

..

Lucy and Saly who were still sitting didn't feel any pressure from the arrow, even the streaks of lightning didn't touch them or strike near them, Arthur had absolute control on the lightning and the arrow so of course he would not cause them to feel uncomfortable.

”~Hmm~~ So, what do you think about this? Is it a little trick? please enlighten me”

Arthur spoke sarcastically to Lord A while looking at his petrified state.

Even though Arthur created the arrow and all, he wasn't going to use it, or else the whole ship, or what was left of it would be eaten by the [Heavenly Arrow], not even this small port would survive such an arrow, he just wanted to scare the old man and show him what true power is.

”No matter where you have gotten that power from, remember that one day, I'll come looking for answers and not you, or anyone else can stop me”

Arthur already knew he can't kill the old man when he appraised him nothing appeared, so he was sure that he this old man was not really here, maybe it was a temporary summoning.

After he finished what he had to say, the arrow disappeared into thin air, followed by the dispersing clouds and the lightning.

Everything seemed to return to normal, the sun was as bright as ever and the sea calmed down, it's as if nothing happened.

Arthur didn't waste time anymore, with a simple slash he beheaded the old man, who was still silent and petrified after his head fell down, it immediately disappeared along with his body, as for C12, he was struck by one final green lightning which instantly killed him.

Since Arthur wanted to possess the corpses now and there were witnesses, he transformed into his lightning form and began possessing them, however, Belic and the nobles could only see an almost invisible streak of lightning rush from corpse to corpse.

Arthur would take a couple of seconds to possess several corpses, he had gotten used to the feeling and can now enter and leave a body way faster than before.

There were exactly 279 corpses, including C12's, and it took him approximately 300 seconds to possess them all, no one moved or dared speak, they just watched the lightning disappear and reappear from a place to another.

Lucy knew what he was doing so she continued to chat with Saly, who also didn't bother with what happened that much as she couldn't see so obviously she wouldn't be able to see the lightning or the arrow, Arthur even made sure she won't feel a strong pressure.

*********************

Sitting on thrones made of creepy skulls, 'X' was leisurely humming and playing with a human skull, he appeared to be lost in thought but he was indeed in a good mood.

”It's been more than a year right? I wonder what little Arthur is doing? hahaha~~ he must be a crawling baby right now, right? Hahaha I'd love to see that...why not give him a visit...maybe help him out a bit?”

Just as he said that, he disappeared from the big gloomy hall and all that was left was the fog that was encouraging him.

....

He appeared in front of an enormous planet, several times bigger than the earth, he gazed at it for a couple of seconds before he disappeared yet again.

His divine sense already covered the whole planet in search of Arthur, he already can recognize anyone by just sending them one time.

However, even after a first and second divine sense, he found...nothing! his humming halted and some dark fog emanated from his silhouette.

”What's the meaning of this? How can't I find him?”

'X' started teleporting non-stop all over the planet, he appeared in front of every baby on this planet but he still couldn't find what he was looking for.

”It's impossible! Even if he was reincarnated to a beast, he should still be HERE! WHY! WHERE IS HE!”

His demeanor completely changed and he seemed to be a different person.

He came back to his castle and sat on his throne, however, he was still angry and confused.

”Belos...”

Just as he called that name, a figure with two big wings and a horn coming stretching out from his forehead appeared, he was kneeling on one knee and his head was dropped down, not daring to look at 'X', just from the tone of his master, he understood he was furious.

”Immediately search every planet in Zutis! do you hear me? Every planet, search for him, you need to find him! FIND HIM”

Belos already knew who his master was talking about, with a final bow he vanished from the hall, he knew his master was very angry and he could be 'accidentally' killed by his hot-temper.

As for 'X', he crushed that skull he was playing with it earlier and roared, just by that roar, the whole castle shook and the dark fog emanating from him increased even more.

'I don't know how you managed to escape....but I'll find you...my precious little toy...you are my subject after all....hahaha~~~”
