Chapter 84 - 84 : Blooming Rose (1/2)
By the time Kimo was sent flying, Lizard Kimu regained control of his body, the numbness is gone, so, without hesitation, he spat a golden drop of blood and retreated with incredible speed away from Arthur and Lucy.
However, Arthur was not planning to let him flee, Kimu's speed was very fast due to him using his Soul Essence and some mysterious techniques, but Arthur was very fast too.
With his movement techniques, Petal Footsteps and his high Agility stats, his speed was only slightly slower than Kimu.
He was chasing the lizard and slashing with Makaze, long and black slash arcs were produced, this powerful sword energy was even faster than Kimu, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than Arthur's slashes.
Not only that, Arthur was closing on Kimu while using dark magic to follow up with countless dark spears.
Lizard Kimu, who just breathed a sigh of relief as he backed away from Kashron, was dumbstricken when he saw this slashes and the enemy's bombardment of weird dark spears.
Kashron was never this strong, he also didn't use this weird magic, moreover, he was a hammer user but this Kashron clearly had a long black sword.
Arthur slashed exactly two times, these two black arc slashes which contained his sword energy, struck Kimu, but the Lizard used the scroll in his hands to shift the pressure from Malark to the incoming attacks.
He was powering the scroll by himself, which made it ten times more difficult, not only that, by shifting the pressure, Malark was now free so it made things even more dangerous.
The pressure clashed with these two slashes and the countless dark spears, although it was an invisible pressure, you could see Arthur's attacks facing some barrier which stopped them, their momentum was being lost every second and some dark spears even shattered.
Seeing that he blocked these attacks, Kimu was relieved but by the next second, Kashron who was flying at him, suddenly disappeared from his view and appeared behind him.
A chill ran down his spines as he felt strong killing intent aimed at his back.
With his sword in hand, Arthur slashed with his sword at the lizard's neck, he wanted to behead him just like the last one.
However, just as Makaze was going to cut off Kimu's head, a violet liquid came out from his scales situated at his neck, this liquid was aimed exactly at Kashron chest.
Arthur didn't know what this liquid, but he was absolutely sure that it was not a good thing, he sensed danger from it, it was most likely the lizard's trump card.
Without hesitating for even a split second, Arthur left Kashron's body and appeared next to it.
Once the violet liquid touched Kashron's body, the body started melting and deteriorating, it was a gory and horrible sight.
Makaze flew from Kashron's hand to Arthur's, then Arthur used [Faster than death] to appear a distance away from Kimu, who was overjoyed to have successfully landed his most deadly poison, but it came at a cost.
This poison was his life-saving trump card, it was too deadly and could even heavily injure Malark if not kill him, but the cost of using it was no laughing matter.
He dropped to the Immortal 1st grade, but at least he managed to get rid of Kashron.
Kimu didn't dare celebrate his victory yet, he shifted his gaze to Malark, but the latter was already flying at him with lightning speed.
Lizard Kimu just used a heavy price to kill Kashron, he needed a couple of seconds to recuperate and use the scroll, but unfortunately for him, he was not given this time.
A meteorite even bigger than previous one was flying at him from above, its speed was faster than Malark, but was even worse was that this meteorite had dark red flames instead of purple flames.
The pressure he felt from the meteorite made him freeze, facing this desperate situation, he didn't know what to do, even if he tried dodging, it would result in his death.
Kimu could only lift the scroll and inject all the energy he could muster to activate it, not only that, he spit 2 golden drops of Soul essence which integrated with scroll to strengthen it more, but even with that, he still felt the pressure of the incoming attack.
Malark, who was flying toward Kimu was alarmed from the huge meteorite which was double the size of the previous one, he stopped in his tracks and gazed at it. He didn't dare attack Kimu as he feared the flaming rock very much, he could feel its head even from a long distance.
The yellow scroll's pressure faced the meteorite, trying to stop it. The meteorite was unstoppable as it faced the invisible pressure, the scroll's power only managed to slow it for a bit.
Kimu used this time to flee, he abandoned the scroll which was now floating by itself and facing the meteorite.
But what faced him was a black-clothed person whit a big bamboo hat and the previous hostage of Kashron.
Despite seeing them blocking his escape route, he charged straight at them, after all, facing them was better than facing the meteorite.
Arthur already expected this outcome, dark strings, which were almost invisible were shot from his fingertips and wrapped around Kimu.
These strings were very tight and strong, their speed was incredible as in a matter of seconds, they restricted Kimu, who was already weakened from Arthur's attack and using his Soul Essence too much.
In fact, Soul Essence is the most important thing for people at the Immortal Realm and above, if one used Soul Essence drops, they can never recover it no matter how much time passes, moreover, if one expands all his Soul Essence, he would most definitely die.
Kimu used too much of his Soul Essence and his Realm was too weak, so how could he resist these threads.
”Yo-You!!!...”
He gazed at Arthur and Lucy with hatred, he was unwilling to die here, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't free himself.
The scroll, which was not powered by Kimu anymore, lost its effect and fell from the sky, as for the meteorite, it resumed its fast momentum and finally struck the immobile Kimu, but that was not the end.
In a matter of seconds, Kimu was crushed and burned to ashes by the dark red flames, the meteorite kept falling from the sky at fast speed until it struck the ground.
Boom!!
An earth-shattering, ear deafening explosion happened when the meteorite struck the ground, dark flames burned the ground and a huge pit was made from the explosion, it was a terrifying sight.
A very large dust cloud was formed on its surroundings, blocking the view, but one could feel energy ripples all over the place.
