Chapter 66 - 66 : Complete Devastation (2/2)

They were pushed back even further by the sound shockwaves and there is even some who were injured, so they retreated even further but the light still blinded them.

The explosion caused after the shiny silver light was a complete terror, fortunately, the arrow was created by Arthur, so he wasn't injured, neither was Lucy but all the nearby people who thought they were safe received heavy damage due to the explosion.

The whole island literally vanished, there was just nothing left, just a gigantic hole with the sea filling it rapidly, the sight was horrifying, furthermore, there was a huge wind and dust cyclone which spanned 3 kilometers, from afar it looked like it's a calamity.

It wasn't that harmful in reality but it limited the sight of many people. Anastassia and a few lucky clan masters managed to only receive light injuries but the Xi Clan master had lost his left leg and blood flowed endlessly as the elder of his clan helped him, he had a pale face and had a look of extreme regret, he thought that with his protective armor and divine fire shield, he would be able to withhold the damages but they were both easily shattered.

.....

Lucy and Arthur were quite weak, this synchronization wasn't easy and it consumed a lot of energy, albeit their infinite stamina that didn't mean they can use this endlessly, the result was much more astonishing than what Arthur was expecting.

He held Lucy in his arms as she was more injured than him and left the area, surely the body of Tensui wouldn't be left and even if it was, he seemed to be using a special kind of technique and it was not his real strength so even after possessing he would only gain his original stats, which is a real shame.

He fed her a Minor and Miraculous Healing Potions which helped her recover faster and treated the heavy injury on her back and waist.

He was feeling weak too but it shouldn't be a problem for him to fly and move. After 10 minutes, he arrived near the Itas Continent where he found Astrith waiting there along with the others, even Anastassia somehow came here.

She looked at Arthur with eyes full of disbelief, that arrow what just heaven-defying, it obliterated the whole island along with that monster, and here she thought he was only in the Spirit Realm, was he acting that day against the elder of in the spar?

Although she had countless questions, she didn't dare ask them, she saw the weak and pale Lucy in his arms and knew that he greatly cared her so she kept silent.

Arthur ignored the others and descended on Astrith's back, mentally telling him to go back to the clan, now that Astrith was transporting them, he felt a bit relaxed as he gazed at the weak Lucy.

He layed her on Astrith with her upper body leaning on his chest, Saly was worried but she didn't cry or show childish behavior, she just sat next to them while holding Lucy's hand and stared at her.

In a gloomy underground rocky room, there stood a kneeling man, he had a pale face and wore a black robe, he was involuntarily shaking as he didn't have the guts to look up to the stone statue.

The statue was in the shape of an adult woman, a voluptuous body with two peaks in her chest that would seemed as if they would explode at any moment although it was only a statue, it looked very real, she had a book in her waist and if Arthur saw it, he would immediately recognize it, it was exactly like the book of the damned he found near Zodiak.

”Reporting to the Lord, t-the mission ff--faile-ed..... please forgive this one, an unexpected problem occurred!”

His body was trembling even more as he spoke, his voice was shaky, if one saw him act like this they would be astonished, he was one of the people in the S category in 'Medusa' but he was still so afraid of the statue to the point of shaking non-stop.

A snort came out of the statue followed by a very cold and piercing voice

”Incompetent dogs! Since a while ago, all you do is failing missions, this was supposed to be important, how can a person in the Immortal Realm be killed like that and you are just saying 'Unexpected Problem' this is a big problem, tell me! What exactly happened!”

While still kneeling, the old man didn't dare delay as he replied immediately.

”Reporting to the Lord, Tensui used the forbidden spell as instructed and by sacrificing exactly 54.314 soul, he managed to ascend to the Immortal Realm, we don't know who exactly killed him but what we know is that it's a black-robed man and a silver-haired woman, their attack apparently obliterated the whole island, leaving no trace of Tensui, that's what our spies saw.”

As if pondering for a bit, the statue finally spoke again after a couple of minutes of silence

”Black-robed man? Silver-haired woman? A few months ago, one of the dogs also told me of similar individuals... but I just ignored them... it seems I have to personally come?”

As she said that, the lifeless eyes of the statue shined with a dark and violet light and the big statue shook for a couple of seconds before it regained its usual state.

Even after a couple of minutes passed, no sound came from the statue, so the kneeling old man concluded that 'the Lord' is gone, for now.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after a final kowtow, he left the room in a hurry, he couldn't help but wipe the invisible cold sweat in his forehead as if he avoided death by a hair's breath.
