Chapter 64 - 64 : Madman (1/2)
Arthur stabilized his body and stared intensely at the golden shield, the previous attack was powerful and he really wanted to have a similar shield, however, he was not going to rob it or murder Gobu then take it as he had good ones in his storage too, they just didn't entirely suit his style of combat.
this time, he didn't rush at Gobu, instead, he put his katana back at its sheath then flew a bit high in the sky.
Gobu was surprised to see this strange act of Arthur, he knew something was fishy and he was probably changing tactic, nonetheless, he didn't budge from his position and glared cautiously at his opponent.
..
Arthur started concentrating and in just seconds, several dark red fireballs were created, each ball was was 3m and emitted some intense heat, in just seconds there were dozens of those balls.
Gobu was petrified as he felt a shiver down his spines, that 5m fire ball from earlier almost melted him, so when he saw this many, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
Arthur then threw all the balls at the same time toward Gobu, he made sure they struck him from all direction while Godly lightning struck him from above.
The poor daoist clenched his hands and formed several metal walls around him hoping for the best but they were easily melted and by the fireballs, they didn't hold them even for a millisecond as they passed through it as if it was air.
Fortunately, the shield was very fast, even with all the balls attacking from all directions, it would teleport instantly and block it, but with several hitting at the same time, it was practically impossible to defend against all at the same time no matter how fast it is.
None of the balls hit Gobu, but some of the fire landed on his body and burned him a little, although it was just a bit of the fireball that managed to hit him, it was enough to cause damage to him, especially when several bits of fire landed on him.
Even to a strong destructive fire such as the ancient fire, the golden shield was able to defend which astonished Arthur, but even seeing that, he didn't stop his bombarding.
The Godly lightning was even more destructive than the ancient fire, but it's only con is that it's slow so with Gobu's speed, he managed to evade it, but it caused more flames to touch him, his state became even more miserable as he was almost naked, his ragged clothes were almost fully burned and he had much more burn marks each time the fire touched him.
The bombarding continued until Gobu finally fell into despair and yelled
”I give up, I give up, stop! This penniless daoist cannot fight anymore, have mercy!”
Arthur smirked when he heard this and stopped, he knew that the tactic he just used was very useful and if it continued a couple more minutes, he would've been able to defeat him and seriously injure him but it seemed Gobu was wise and knew when to give up or else the consequences would have been dire.
He could have used [Dark Magic] but he didn't, he didn't want to show it for several reasons so he refrained from using it yet.
The arrow from earlier did some considerable damage to Gobu and as time passed, he felt that his insides are melting and each time the fire touched him, the pain became even more agonizing, he could not hold off anymore, if he continued, it would have been life-threatening, he wasn't dumb enough to fight to death with this madman.
...
Silent Flower, who was not that interested in the fight from the very beginning, closed her eyes and was tending her injured shoulder, but once the fight started and she heard the cries of surprise of the spectators, she opened her eyes only to see a shocking scene.
Arthur's speed was so fast that she literally couldn't follow it and his attacks were extremely strong, she also was stunned by those shields.
Once the big arrow struck the purple shield and broke it in two, and the huge impact happened, her eyes and mode were wide open as she stared at the scene in disbelief, she previously thought of Arthur as a somewhat strong participant but not a monster.
Even if she used her ice domain she can't defend against that arrow, no way in hell, she would die miserably, her opinion of him greatly changed as she stared at him with awe and curiosity.
When she saw him bombarding the poor daoist, she felt a bit fearful of those flames as even though some distance were separating them, she still felt the strong heat and pressure coming out of it, Gobu was really lucky to have a shield like that or he would have been roasted by those fireballs.
As the fight was done, nothing was left of the arena, even some of the walls of the Colosseum were either melted or destroyed by the impact of the explosions and fireballs, to say that Arthur is weak right now is just spouting non sense, previously none thought he is that strong but now they believed he will surely win this tournament.
This battle was even more ravaging and shocking than the previous, the damage was done to the surroundings numerous times higher than the last one, at least previously some part of the stage was left intact, however, the arena looked became miserable with several big craters scattered in all its corners, it couldn't be called an arena anymore.
Gobu was breathing heavily as he summoned back his golden shield and panted, he walked back while staggering and holding his chest, he would cough some blood every now and then.
Arthur wasn't feeling tired or anything like that, that attack previously did hurt him a bit with his illogical recovering speed as the injury was healing at fast speed, it would be fine in 10 minutes or so.
He went back to his previous location and was going to resume reading as if nothing happened when all of a sudden, an explosion resounded in the 'arena'.
The black-robed man who was going to fight the disciple from the Xi Clan was floating a couple of meters in the air while removing his black hood.
It revealed a very sinister and hideous face full of scars, the man was hysterically laughing and staring at Tenhi.
Arthur thought they were here for a reason but he didn't think they would act up this early, this person emitted the familiar aura the people from 'Medusa' did, well not all of them but the ones which were a bit more experienced in using [Dark magic].
When he appraised him earlier he discovered his LVL to be 561, it was not that high compared to the other participant but for some odd reason, he kept winning, he didn't use dark magic earlier not to alert him as he didn't want to attract his attention, he wanted to know what they were here for, last time they attacked Belic and Robin for some item, so they must be here for a reason.
Although it was only one guy, he was sure there are some others hiding somewhere, each time he met paths with them there was always more than one person.
Tenhi furrowed his brows when he saw the ugly man laughing while staring at him, then he sensed danger, he suddenly disappeared from his sit and appeared high up in the sky, and in his previous location was a dozen of black daggers than appeared out of nowhere.
Arthur also this process and was a bit shocked when he saw the dark blue daggers, it seemed this person was using [Chaotic dark magic] which was the first evolution of dark magic, also, why were the daggers speed very fast?
He appraised the ugly man again and was shocked to see his LVL, it was literally increasing at a rapid pace.
When he appraised it was already 1403 but only 10 seconds passed and it was 1600+, this was insane and incomprehensible.
The aura around the ugly man was becoming more and more overbearing as he began attacking Tenhi and everyone else, the dark magic attacks were aimed randomly at everyone and his Lvl kept increasing rapidly.
His attacks were so fast that he killed more than a hundred spectators in just seconds, even some of the nearby participants got struck by the dark magic and fell soundlessly on the ground.
The area of the clans was protected by the clan masters as they formed a barrier to protect from the dark magic but it didn't hold much at is began shattering when the attacks become more ferocious.
In less than a minute, the appraisal showed Arthur that this man was already in the Heavenly Realm, however, his aura didn't stop rising, instead, it kept increasing even faster which shocked him.
He became full alert, he didn't know how much it would increase but it didn't it would stop soon.
The clan masters already retreated and none attacked the ugly mad man, dark magic chains, spears, spikes were beeing created endlessly from all around him as he threw them at everyone while he kept laughing.
