Chapter 109 - 106 : Desperate Situation (1/2)
The couple's mean of escape was their Spirit Boat which they bought from the 'Treasure Pavillon'. It was amongst the fastest Spirit Boats, whether it's its quality, speed or even decoration, everything about it was superior to normal or even high-class Spirit Boats.
Such Spirit Boat is one of a kind, even people like Meyzu and co who are at the God Realm may not have like that. To begin with, once you reach the God Realm, you can easily teleport a distance away from your current location. Same goes for these powerful figures too.
But what they didn't expect is that Arthur had already prepared a counter-measure for that, before escaping or even when coming to the Grand Banquet, he put several talismans that disabled teleportation.
Albeit restricting their special teleportation, Aborak, Kilan and the rest still managed to catch up to them with unbelievable speed. They didn't immediately reach them, however, slowly but surely, they were getting close.
Lucy was breathing heavily as she sat up on the Spirit Boat and tried to recover some Nether Energy but it wasn't possible as she consumed too much. Fusing the two opposite attributes, conjuring the bow and launching the arrow, a single of those three would normally make her exhausted. What's more is that she fought for some time against Lissandra making her even more mentally tired and unable to even move properly.
Arthur's Nether Energy depletion is much slower than her as he had many passives and skills to limit its decrease, nevertheless, with so many attacks covered from the view and the use of [Heavenly Arrow], he wasn't in his best shape.
Especially if he disables the pain immunity, he would instantly collapse from the unbearable pain he is receiving by the countless activated passives.
Normally, activating so many passives should not hurt like that, but when he possessed that wolf's body and activated them all at once, because their number was just too great and they changed many things, his body nor soul could handle such change.
Unlike his wife, Arthur stood at the back of the flying boat and gazed at the 4 beams chasing him. Aborak seemed to be the closest, he gazed lifelessly and coldly at Arthur and waved his cane and creating a grey cube.
The cube didn't attack Arthur or his Spirit Boat, instead, it enlarged at a very fast speed, its size kept increasing endlessly. At one point, it has covered the area around Arthur and the other 3.
Unfortunately, Arthur could only stare at the cube with a wary look, he knew to fight would be meaningless and futile so he concentrated on injecting all his Nether Energy on the Spirit Boat to make it fly faster. He even took out precious Spirit Stones and used them.
Even the big Red Spirit Stones were useless but once he put one of the gems and bright stones in that special chest, something mind-boggling and unexpected happened.
The Spirit Boat literally vanished from the four's sight, it didn't just disappear into thin air, it's just that its speed was far to great, it broke through the grey cube and became a rainbow-colored beam that lasted for merely a second or so.
”T-that Spirit Boat.... is it a Godly Item?”
Kilan had a look of greed as he saw the speed of the Spirit Boat, he was not worried that they would escape as he and the other leaders were personally chasing the enemy, there is no way they could escape even with a fast Spirit Boat.
Godly treasures are extremely rare, even for him, he only had one Godly treasure and it must be used only in emergencies, which is clearly not the case right now.
”It's not the Spirit Boat but what's channeling it...”
Aborak eyes were as lifeless as ever, but contrary to the others, he was not angry over what happened, no one beside him knew why he was chasing after Arthur but one thing was for sure, unlike the others, he didn't want to punish or kill them for what they did.
Jizung's face became uglier as he saw the Spirit Boat disappear, he didn't remain calm like the others. An illusory and big black Cobra appeared behind him, the beast hissed as its two eyes shined with a green color. They were ominous and creepy to look at.
Jizung's speed increased by several times, he surpassed the other three and began to catch up to the Spirit Boat of Arthur, but all he could see was the faraway light left from the enemy's Spirit Boat.
Whilst gritting his teeth, Jizung performed several seals in the air as he was flying, each seal was green and had an ancient aura around it. In total, he created 8 seals and every one of them floated behind him and landed on the black Cobra.
Once they touched the black beast, its size increased by two-fold at the very least. It was like a small black mountain, but that was not the only change. the old man Jizung became like a green beam that whistled in the air. His speed couldn't be compared to the previous one.
”That geezer.. why is he stubborn, sooner or later we will catch them. No matter what they are using to fuel the Spirit Boat, it'll end and at that time we'll catch them yet Old Ji is willing to resort to such means.... does he know them?”
Granny Shishu was feeling unease, confusion, and suspicion as she pondered about Jizung's behavior. Shen never saw the grey-haired man or that woman, so abducting Miya was probably to make her fight Jizung. It was obvious they didn't want to fight with her clan, but just their actions made them her archenemies as Miya was her precious granddaughter.
...
In no time, a green beam appeared behind Arthur's Spirit Boat, Jizung laughed madly as he closed in on them. He didn't need to act calm when no one was around, moreover, he was very enraged by what Arthur and Lucy did. Destroying the garden and ruining the banquet, attacking his clansmen, abducting an elder under his very eyes and then escaping, if this isn't a slap in the face I don't what know what is.
Arthur tried putting more of these mysterious gems but after using the first one, the boat didn't accept any other for some odd reason. Jizung was closing in and was half a mile away and every second that passes he becomes closer and closer.
”It's better for you to stop chasing, there is no way for a mere Immortal to escape from me!”
Jizung roared and waved his hands, creating hundreds of finger-sized black snakes that rushed at the Spirit Boat. They were biting the air and creating a disgusting sound. A green fog came out of their small mouth, their bodies twirled in the air and their speed was insane.
In an attempt to block that, Arthur could only create several big sized fireballs conjured from ancient flames to try and smite these dangerous little things.
There was nothing his flames can't burn, as long as he is powerful enough, anything can be burned to ashes.
The fireballs hit the black snakes and burned most of them but because there was a lot of them, some of them managed to slip between the flames and strike the Spirit Boat. They didn't attack Arthur and started biting the Spirit Boat, eating it and becoming larger in size everytime they took a bite.
