Chapter 103 - 101 : Ruining the Grand Banque (1/2)

Some of the strange objects that appeared fell on the ground and the rest were covering the whole sky, there was an astronomical amount of them. Arthur's figure could be seen in the middle of them, he was raising both of his arms and gazing at the 7 sitting figures from under his dark hood.

Before anyone could react or speak, the cylindrical objects were activated. A white flash so bright covered the whole banquet, no, scratch that, at least the whole city was blinded by the sudden flash.

No person could resist the intensity of the light, not even the people at God Realm, there were some exceptions of course, such as the Lich King, who didn't have physical eyes, so he wasn't affected but the light still bothered him.

This flash didn't just last seconds and even if it did, it would take seconds for the blinded people to recover as it was just too sudden, especially the weak people at the Deity Realm or lower.

Flash Grenade (modified) : After throwing it, the user can activate using the Nether Energy connection with it. Creates a blinding flash that causes 'Blind' effect for 30 seconds. The blinding effect is lowered when the target's Realm is higher than the user (5 seconds less for each Realm above the user).

Cost : 50 Mental Power

The intensity of the flash can be stacked by using multiple grenades. However, the effect's time would remain the same.

In the last few months, Arthur created countless of these grenades using [Lost Magic]. Since he broke through to the Immortal Realm and with a high Mental Power, he became able to create many things that were useful. Flash Grenades were just one of many.

Although the people were blinded, they still could open their mouth and speak. Some shouted in surprise and some were enraged, such as the Jizung, who got up from his seat in fury whilst yelling loudly

”Who dares!”

He was obviously extremely angry as someone attacked them in such an important event. Jizung was the main host and even if nothing occurs, this alone could be considered a huge loss of face for him and his clan.

”Don't panic! Use your 'Nether Sense' and find the perpetrator!”

Meyzu kept a calm attitude despite not being able to see, he ordered the elders and supervisors of the banquet to search for the criminal. But most of the wise ones knew it was Arthur as they saw him coming toward them, but it wasn't certain yet as they didn't want to recklessly blame Bai Lingyue.

Speaking of Azure Bai, he remained silent and calm as he was sitting near Jizung. First, he frowned as he discovered he couldn't get rid of the blindness no matter what he did and his surprise intensified when he thought about Arthur's figure previously as it came toward them and the sudden appearance of the countless strange objects.

'Friend Arthur, what are you thinking?'

He didn't see Arthur but he knew he was here after this happened, someone like this youth can't do such a thing and blind people at the God Realm. Just thinking that it was a person at the Peak of the Deity Realm doing that made him greatly surprised.

He only thought it was Arthur because there was no enemy willing to do this bold action in the presence of so many strong figures.

Since the moment he threw the flash grenades, Arthur didn't waste time as he rushed toward Lissandra, who was also confused about what just happened. He was not blinded by the flash grenades as he had a connection with them. They were modified so they would not harm the user but contrary to him, Lucy was also blinded for half a minute which was unfortunate but there was no other way.

His speed was extremely fast as he flew toward Lissandra while holding a long silver sword in his hand.

Aborak, who was not affected much by the flash was able to see the actions of Arthur. He didn't like the fact that someone as insignificant as this junior dares to do that, so despite seeing him charge at Lissandra, who wasn't from his faction, he still interfered.

It was only a wave of his hand but the force behind it was not something someone like Arthur could handle, he may not die but he would be severely injured. Such actions were predicted by Arthur when he was making the plan with Lucy, all of this was accounted for and when the illusory grey fog created by Aborak was going to hit Arthur something unexpected and even more shocking than the bright flash occurred.

Lucy's previous preparation was not for nothing as more than 20 huge flaming meteorites came flying down from above. Each and everyone was empowered by Arthur's dark red flames, what's more, is that these meteorites were way stronger than the ones used last time.

The combined pressure of the several meteorites which suddenly appeared out of nowhere completely shocked the audience, especially the strong figures who felt the enormous pressure emanated from them. They were stunned to see them appear out of nowhere as it was impossible for people at the God Realm to not notice them until they were so close.

This was yet another skill that Arthur created using some of the Eclipse Magic. He used Spatial Magic, which is a small part of the Void Magic.

Spatial Passage (U) : a Self-created skill which hides anything that is put in the small Spatial Passage. It cannot be felt by anyone and can hide any non-living thing for a certain amount of time.

Cost: 100 Mental Power (You will lose them permanently and they cannot be recovered)

Cooldown: Cannot be used until the user reach the next grade of his Realm.

Lucy was previously channeling her Nether Energy to keep the meteorites active so they would not their power inside the Spatial Passage.

Such an attack may not hurt people at the God Realm who have a lot of techniques to defend against it, but juniors or other people at a lower-Realm would be totally annihilated by this attack. The whole garden would be burned to the ground if they did not act.

”Pretentious!”

Jizung roared as he formed a seal in the air, it was a dark green seal which resembled a cobra. Following that, he took an ancient looking black scene and pushed into in the middle of the dark green seal.

His actions were the fastest amongst the 6 of them, it was unknown how he managed to see the meteorites but he nevertheless did, Kilan and the others also took out some items and in a split second, the items covered their respective disciples and elders.

But Jizung and the others were a bit too late as the meteorites were too close from the start so the damage could not be blocked.
