Chapter 172 - 162.4 : Back To Home (2/2)

The young man looked at the lifeless corpse of the youth and the hideous hole in his chest before sucking a cold breath. That youth was a 2nd Grade Divine Realm yet he was killed so easily, if that vine was pointed at him, he would have died without knowing how.

As his eyes stared at the eyes of the youth, which were full of disbelief and unwillingness, Vyncent mumbled

”A miserable death indeed....”

Without staying any extra second, Vyncent melted in the ground and disappeared from this room which reeked of a bloody stench.

....

Arthur headed west with Alina with him, who is still in an unconscious state, and in a half an hour, he managed to get back to where the previous battle occurred.

”Astria could be considered a tip of an iceberg compared to this world.”

Just this huge desert alone is bigger than the Demon continent and the Western continent together. As he appeared on that battlefield, he saw the red-haired youth calmly staying at the same place he left him with Mary and the rest cautiously staying behind him.

There were a few new corpses scattered here and there which belonged to both factions but none of them were strong enough, the strongest was a peak Grade Immortal who was slaughtered like a pig.

Taliya and co were already up thanks to the potions he fed them, their effect on Mortals were miraculous and although their injuries were a bit serious, the bones healed at an astonishing pace. Only the Head Maid, Taliya, was still a bit injured and unable to move properly.

The silver-haired maid was panicking and seemed to be restricted by a thin red thread. No matter how much she struggled, she wasn't able to free herself.

”Welcome back, master.”

The youth bowed and briefly explained what happened whilst indicating that Taliya wanted to venture alone so he bound her. Then without lingering much longer, he vanished into a red fog white quickly dissipated with the passing wind.

As he looked at the remaining four, Arthur sighed and waved his hand, wrapping them around his Nether Energy before they disappeared from this huge area and headed toward their destination with an mind-numbing speed.

Taliya didn't even have the time to question Arthur before she found herself in a strange square surrounded by towering pillars. Her eyes then landed on the unconscious Alina, who floated beside her.

”It's for you to go home.”

Arthur stared at the surprised faces of the five while speaking with a calm voice. He didn't waste time as he activated the warp device which resulted in the strange runes engraved on the ground to shine with dim white light.

As they were about to be teleported, Taliya lifted her head and shifted her eyes to Arthur then said

”Wait! Take me with you. Since the Demon Princess is saved then you did your end of the deal.”

Then without waiting for him to reply, she turned her head to Lucas, who had his mouth wide-open, unable to believe the fast turn of events.

”Take care of the Demon Princess and take her back to the Royal Castle.”

Without further ado, she struggled and tried to go out of the big square but a pressure pressed on her which was followed by a calm voice

”That is unnecessary, the deal is done and I don't need a weakling following me, it'll only hinder me.”

Arthur knew that without being harsh, he wouldn't be able to stop her stubbornness, he could only use her weakness against her. Without minding Taliya, who looked at him with anger and unwillingness.

His eyes shifted to the silent Mary, the beastwoman was holding Sonia and gently stroking her head as she looked at her rosy cheeks which indicated that she was healing and was no longer poisoned.

”You are welcome to stay in my sect. You'll find Anastassia waiting for you. farewell.”

As his words ended, a bright flash followed and their figures soon disappeared from the huge square. Arthur couldn't help but sigh as he gazed at their disappearing figures, children and elderly died due to a war that didn't concern them and although they weren't related to him, he didn't wish for them to die in such a place, far from home.

Looking at the towering pillars and the dimming symbols, Arthur waves his hands, causing the pillars to shatter and fall down and the ground to shake. The square was crushed by a huge force and cracks appeared on the ground.

Very soon, what was supposed to be a special teleportation array was transformed into a huge put, as if a meteor crashed here.

Arthur wasn't a fool to let the Pigolo Tribe a chance to invade his home again. As for the matter of getting back to Astria, he would figure it out when he possesses a Spatial Master, before that, he wasn't planning on going back.

And for Taliya, the reason he didn't bring her with him was that this transformation that occurred inside of him forced him out of his desperation and loneliness, he no longer needed a companion and it was indeed true that having her with him will hinder him a lot as he would need to spare some of his focus to protect her.

Even Lissandra, who he planned on keeping next to him was sent back, this place was too dangerous and he doesn't have the luxury to protect Taliya, much less her.
