Chapter 65 - 65 : Struggle (1/2)

Arthur transformed into a green streak of lightning as he dashed at Tensui, who was laughing and checking his body.

The pressure was too overwhelming, even for someone such as Arthur, who have insane stats.

He didn't use [Petal Footsteps] because when using [Transmutation] and the lightning form, his speed would be higher than when using that mouvement technique.

Fortunately, the chaotic dark magic used by Tensui didn't damage Arthur, he was quite worried for Lucy as she may be hit but he can always instant teleport if something were to happen.

Tenhi, who was dazed from a while ago, snapped out of it as he felt the terrifying aura coming from Tensui, although right now, he didn't look like a human, not in the slightest, his skin has already turned black and he grew 1 meter taller.

It's better to call it a monstrosity, hideous face with long sharp claws in his arms and legs with a violet tail coming out of his lower back, he had what appeared to be violet scales in his knees and shoulders and a dense black fog was emanating from him.

..

Arthur's speed could be considered godly as he appeared next to the monster in a split second, he didn't hesitate as he used all his power and launched a [Lone Sword], but that wasn't all of it, several orange and dark red spears were coming at Tensui.

Arthur didn't use Dark magic this time because he had a feeling that it may do the opposite effect, maybe it was just his imagination but he didn't dare use it until he is sure it would not strengthen him.

The good thing is that his power ceased to increase once he reached the Immortal Realm, but just being in that Realm made him a terrifying being, his appearance was no longer recognizable.

The slash of Arthur finally landed on Tensui's abdomen, followed by a bombardment of spears made from ancient fire and eclipse magic.

Surprisingly, Tensui didn't move as he grinned at Arthur and looked at him as if looking at a struggling ant, but that look changed dramatically when the ancient fire spears struck him.

The slash didn't even scratch him but the spears clearly injured him as was pushed back a couple of meters with blood flowing from the newly made wounds, clearly the ancient fire was effective as it melted his black body.

His arrogant look changed as he gazed at the incoming spears, the Eclipse magic also injured him but it not as much as the ancient fire did.

..

Arthur didn't sit around during this time when Tensui was pushed back, he teleported behind him and used [Buddha Palm] his strongest palm attack currently, and struck the monster's back without holding back.

Just as his hand touched Tensui, he felt a bit numb and there was not any apparent damage to him, he was only pushed yet again but just 2 steps.

..

But just those two steps were enough for Tensui to be distracted by Arthur as suddenly three 5 meter Magma balls struck him.

For some reason, he was quite vulnerable against fire or magma, the three balls struck him successively as he was sent flying while black blood came out of him, his scales began melting and he was wailing with a deafening sound.

Tensui never reached the Immortal Realm so he was not accustomed to his new power and strength, moreover, those two were very powerful, although Arthur's physical attacks didn't injure him, his magical ones were deadly, same goes for Lucy.

He quickly got up from the ground as he gritted his sharp teeth and screamed from the pain, but suddenly, he could feel a mysterious energy, it didn't even take him a second to realize that this is called 'Immortal Energy' and it is quite special.

He began using it unconsciously and with its help, the pain became less and less and a black transparent energy covered his entire body.

Tensui felt lighter and the wounds he received from the spears and balls were healing rapidly, as he discovered that, he couldn't help but smirk and launch and stare at Arthur and Lucy.

Dozens of dark blue spikes were created in a second and thrown at both of them, their speed was godly and they emanated some ominous aura, but his smirk soon turned into shock and astonishment.

The spikes didn't as much as scratch Arthur, they just struck him and disappeared, as for Lucy, they shattered when they hit what appeared to be a black barrier surrounding her.

....

Tenhi, who was previously fighting Tensui, already flew away and stared at this fight from afar, just from their speed and powerful attacks he already knew he got no chance, that one spike can severely injure him so why should he risk it?

..

Since Physical attacks like [Lone Sword] and [Buddha palm] are not working, Arthur decided to try another tactic, while still bombarding Tensui with his fire spears, a white streak of lightning struck him and a white spear formed in his hand.

With a 'bzzzt' sound, the spear kept hitting the ground and making a few craters, he knew that trying to hitting Tensui with godly lightning is close to impossible since it was slow, even the fire spears were slow but it's just that Tensui previously underestimated them, but since he knew their effect, he would surely be much more cautious.

Arthur dashed at Tensui yet again while lucy seemed to be chanting something, normally she never used them but if she is going to do a very powerful attack then they are needed to make the process faster.

The distance separating them was more than 50m so he couldn't instantly teleport, but he already had an idea, with his insane speed, he crossed the distance separating them in a split second and just as he entered the 50m range.

He teleported while leaving a shadow clone of himself, unfortunately, the duration of the clone was just too short but it was enough to distract Tensui.

He reappeared just behind the monster and thrusted the spear with all his strength, Physical attacks don't work, but a magic as destructive as this lightning will surely harm him.

What Arthur didn't expect is that Tensui reacted in time and inclined his body to barely dodge the spear, normally it would literally be impossible to do this, however, he just did it, although he 'evaded', some of the lightning managed to strike him on the left side of his waist which made a bloody wound, it didn't look that serious but on a closer look, one can even some bones which now looked black too, just like his skin.

Arthur's clone had only 10% of his stats but he wasn't that weak either, it dashed at the monster using [Petal Footsteps] and struck with a [Dark Burst], of course, it may not hurt Tensui but it would probably push him back.

The reason his clone managed to came and attack without Tensui countering is that the latter was dazed for some reason but once he saw the incoming punch of the 'clone', he used the new Immortal energy and stricken the clone.

It was just a simple punch but the clone was sent flying with a fast speed until it crashed into the wall of the Colosseum which was followed by a notification telling Arthur that his clone is dead.

Tensui didn't just stop at this, his tail which was now 1m in length, struck Arthur who was behind him with a speed that dumbfounded Arthur, he couldn't do anything except cross his arms to try and block it.

Arthur was flying in the air as the force of the strike was too immense, he could feel the bones in his hands flying away, even with his fast regeneration, recovering both of his hands would take minutes.

As he was flying in the air from that attack, Tensui dashed at him with no attention to stop and used his knee to strike Arthur's stomach, making him fall on the ground and make a hole similar to the one he was in earlier, but this one was deeper and wider and even a crater was formed.

Next thing he did was turn his head to stare at Lucy who was still preparing her skill, he grinned and rushed at her.

His speed was unbelievable, it was slower than Arthur but that didn't mean it was slow, quite the opposite, there were approximately 250m meters separating Tensui and Lucy but it was crossed in a flash.
