Chapter 180 chapter 164.3 : Taking Action (1/2)
Followed by Ti Eru's roar was his strong Godly pressure, although he was facing two gods, he didn't back down and tried to intimidate them. Anyone can tell that his previous words were not just for his show, knowing his character, such bold words were not just boasting.
In response to the tribe chief, Tarathiel remained completely calm. As the pressure of Ti Eru rushed at him and his brother, they didn't back down and the two unleashed a similar pressure, forcing Ti Eru's to be slightly suppressed. For two gods to only be able to slightly suppress Ti Eru's pressure, that in itself shows how strong the old pigolo was.
Even facing the two of them in a fight, despite Tarathiel being a genius, he may not be at a big disadvantage. He lived longer than them and cultivated for centuries and held the position of tribe chief before Tarathiel was even born.
Two Gods at the same grade may not necessarily be matched, one can outdo the other easily if the comprehension of their skills is higher. The treasures and artifacts played a role in the fights too.
Not long before Ti Eru roared, countless footsteps were heard which came out from the only dark hole in the room. Seconds after, rows of desert gargoyles were armors popped out of the hole, each one stronger than the other. Together, they emanated strong pressure and a domineering presence. With two large groups opposing each other, the atmosphere became tense and the two opposite parties were glaring at each other with unfriendly and sneering gazes.
Surprisingly, amongst the crowd of desert gargoyles, the green-armored general Rosie, who lost her arm to Arthur was also present. Furthermore, two human twins, with burly figures and bald heads were also here. Without a doubt, they were the people sent by the white-clothed young man who was with Vyncent, they were here to bring the candidates or whatever that youth was referring to.
In any case, Arthur was totally oblivious to them, not caring about them or even sparing them a single glance. Whatever their purpose was, it didn't have anything to do with him, he only killed that young man because he was in the way and as long as they don't cause him trouble, he won't openly attack. He wasn't even interested in the dispute between the two factions, his mind was concentrated on the Spatial fluctuations.
The more he felt them, the more confident he was that it was due to the motionless earth knight. It was a good and bad news, he found something that had to do with Spatial attribute, but the bad news is that he can't possess it. Even if he were to fight it right now, which he wouldn't, he won't come out victorious with Tarathiel and his brother present as they won't sit idle.
As his thoughts were beginning to spin, a cool sensation surged through his body and stretched to all his limbs, it entered his consciousness and calmed down the excitement he was feeling.
”It seems I must act.”
Although he didn't have full confidence in possessing the Earth Spirit, he still was sure of his abilities in escaping safely. If it was about confusing and slowing enemies, no one was better than him. Almost non-costly teleportation, free access to strong ancient flames and penetrating Dark Magic. Worst comes to worst, he would imprison himself in the dark cube, its defenses are not something a god could break, especially when his stats increased more recently.
The atmosphere was still as tense as ever and Ti Eru was still silently glaring at Tarathiel with a deadlock expression and full of killing intent, not intending to hide it. From any person's point of view, the fight was going to break at any given second, however, the truth was totally different. Ti Eru was trying to oppress, or rather, scare Tarathiel but he wasn't going to be rash and start a fight in a very disadvantageous environment, his purpose coming here was to scare them, warn them, and grab their attention to his two brothers could deal heavy blows to the gargoyles' territory.
No one has noticed that a bit above the army of pigolo, a terrifyingly powerful arrow appeared. Being more than twenty meters wide, two meters thick and emanating an alarming devouring power. It was purple and had black flames on its edges.
The Heavenly Arrow was now divided into four version, with the fourth one being the combination of the first three.
[Void Arrow], [Flame Lightning Arrow], and [Dark Arrow], each had a unique attribute or two as its core and the fusion of the four attributes would result in a heaven-shaking arrow.
Although this [Void Arrow] that Arthur conjured emanated a very strong suction power, no one was able to notice it, not even the three gods.
Spatial Passage was activated, it shrouded the arrow in an empty space which cannot be sensed and the moment Arthur willed it, the passage can disappear and the Void Arrow can be unleashed. Actually, in such circumstances, he was sure that if he was able to successfully sneak attack any present God with the arrow, nothing would be left from the God as he will be completely devoured.
His target was not the gods but the earth-knight. He just needs to injure it then forcefully possess it. Although it'll cost permanent Mental Power, it won't be too bad as the stats and benefits from the earth-knight would be generous. But this was all based on his guess that the spatial fluctuations were due to the knight.
to possess this knight, he had to resort to [Possess, possess and possess], but such a skill, since it evolved, the cost of using it is pretty big. If he were to forcefully control the body of a God Realm, his stats would drop by 50m and he would lose 250 Mental Power, moreover, he would only be able to possess a living God for half a minute.
For a parasite, such as Arthur, there were three kinds of possessing. possessing dead bodies and controlling their bodies, possessing living beings but staying dormant in their body but this can only be done if the other party doesn't detect the parasite or is of a lower Realm, last but not least is the third possessing, which relies of the skill Arthur forcefully created at the cost of Mental Power and stats.
The conjuring of the Void Arrow took only a few seconds, next thing Arthur did was drift a bit of his consciousness into his storage, locking into ten flash grenades, preparing to throw them the second he acted.
Fortunately, the room was not overly large and a single teleportation would enable him to appear near the knight, what will be left was to possess it. He could still try to kill it but that was far too unreasonable. Just the meer pressure coming out of it was alarming, to think of killing it in a very short time is not plausible.
