Chapter 141 - 138 : Mysterious Green Hands (1/2)

'Did it give up?'

Still cautious, Arthur slowed down and sensed the surroundings with his sense and glanced at the World Tree while activating the special eyes but nothing was too strange.

At this point, no force waves were attacking him but it didn't make Arthur feel safe, on the contrary, he was feeling unease and confusion. Getting close to the target, whatever or whoever is attacking him should attack more not just suddenly give up.

The two wide flaming wings wrapped around him and the horn started vibrating more intensely. Arthur strengthened his Dark Barrier and advanced.

Unfortunately, the second he resumed advancing he was met with something that made feel a shiver down his spine. It wasn't a chilling or ominous aura of any sort, in case, the attacks were made of pure Mana but the alarming thing is what was coming towards him.

For the first time since he started this fight, he felt a bit of killing intent from the incoming attack. It was a force wave like another one yet way bigger and faster, by the time he reacted, it had already struck him and sent his body crashing to the ground.

'Booom!'

Trees were razed and a crater was formed, some plants and grass were burned due to the collateral damage caused by the ancient flames.

He couldn't even react in time to teleport, the Barrier didn't even slow it down and was practically shattered in an instant.

Fortunately, his wings reduced the damage by quite a bit so he wasn't heavily injured. Some of the black bones shattered but it's not his body so no problem.

With his wings still wrapped around him, Arthur slowly floated up only to be struck again by the same force, crashing him into the ground creating a bigger crater.

His Health was reduced by the benefit of possessing a corpse is that dying inside it won't kill him, he'll be forcefully pushed out of the body he was possessing with 20% of his Health and his stats would be halved for a day. So yeah, dying inside Griffin's body won't necessarily kill him a bit it'll greatly weaken him. There was the option of transferring to another body before his current one is dead but the effect would be multiplied by 4 times, it really wasn't worth it.

'It's playing with me.... motherfucker!'

Arthur erupted in fury as every time he got up and tried to fight back, the strong force wave would flatten him to the ground, not letting him a chance retaliate.

'Bzzz bzzzz'

Arthur teleported high up in the air and spat 4 Void Orbs which instantly transformed to innumerable small mouths. The largemouth of Griffin opened again and this time, a Fireball ten times his size was created, the heat was so strong that the plants on the ground showed signs of withering.

That was not all, [Transmutation] was activated and the Griffin grew double its original size and Natural Lightning covered its body.

'Let's see if you can block this'

Arthur followed after the big fireball which struck the force wave and exploded, creating a rain for flame, burning the ground and setting fire to the green forest. The mouths kept doing their job and ate bits and bits of the force wave yet it didn't seem it was weakened by even one bit.

'Hahahaha'

The Griffin became a streak of lightning which charged at the force wave, just before he struck it, The Griffin's body suddenly teleported to the back but all of that was not just an act, but to buy a couple of seconds, confusing the one doing this and perhaps cover whatever is whistling behind him.

When he teleported behind, a Heavenly Arrow half of the size of the original was whistling in the air and rushing at the Force Wave.

The smallmouths seemed to realize something and all flew to the Heavenly Arrow and merged with it, making it bigger and faster.

Just like any other case, the Heavenly Arrow was unstoppable, the Force Wave was eaten in a second but that didn't stop the Arrow from advancing toward the World Tree.

Wave after Wave appeared to block the Heavenly Arrow but they were devoured in a few seconds. Arthur grinned as he watched them being absorbed as if they were nothing. After all, there was nothing that could stop the Void, not even Pure Mana, or so Arthur thought.
