Chapter 185 - 165.3 : Unpenetrable Dark Cube (1/2)
The second Arthur left the general's body, he headed straight to the surface, precisely towards where the Spatial fluctuations were denser. From the looks of it, they have changed its locations because the place he was heading to wasn't where that fight occurred. Cautiously, with his two Senses spreading only a dozen or so meters and his aura suppressed, Arthur made his way towards the Earth Knight.
He was determined to possess it, more so when he started sensing the powerful fluctuations, even if it wasn't certain that he'll gain a lot of stats, the mastery in Spatial sub-attribute will help him a lot. Anything related to Spatial Magic can only be beneficial for him.
It's true that it was quite daring and dangerous to venture alone in the main base of the gargoyles, but Arthur had many precautions set in his mind and a few trump cards used as a last resort. Worst comes to worst, he would have to unleash a devastating Rizaki, it'll self-harm him too, and in a serious way, however, that is always better than getting caught or killed on the spot.
Approximatively ten minutes after he left Rose's body, Arthur resurfaced inside a large empty hall where only the huge Earth Knight sat on a similar throne as the one from before.
Since his aura was massively suppressed, adding that to possessing a three-meter tall worm specialized in invisibility, it was extremely hard to sense him unless a God focused entirely on spreading his sense in that area, which is not the case right now.
Slowly, Arthur used the worm's body to crawl near the knight without raising any suspicions. His Sixth Sense was locked on the knight whilst his Divine Sense was surveying the countless small fluctuations, which couldn't cause any harm but were still numerous and eye-catching.
The part where Arthur's arrow struck was still missing, a huge hole in its abdomen. What was shocking, however, was that its body was kind of regenerating, which didn't sound plausible, especially if it was devoured by the Void. Arthur felt a bit startled but didn't mind it that much, this knight was not something ordinary and to be able to regenerate from that isn't entirely impossible if it's a being that could look down on Gods.
'Let's see how really tough you are.'
The disgusting large mouth of the worm opened, showing countless small sharp teeth. A cold surging aura came out from that bottomless hole and started manifesting in front of the mouth and in just a few seconds, a dark flaming ball with small green lines on it was conjured. Without holding back, the worm spat that ball at the motionless knight.
The dark flaming ball flew at the nearby knight with lightning speed but it suddenly stopped a few inches away from it, as if it met a resistance.
The same second the ball was resisted, countless arm-thick black lightning flew from behind and smashed at that barrier causing cracks all over it. When the cracks started appearing, Arthur was able to see the shape of the barrier, it enveloped the knight and seemed to be quite strong as it didn't shatter even after his bombardment.
'Quite protective, are we?'
Black lightning even thicker than before flew from the worm and heavily struck the cracking barrier and in just half a minute, the cracks met each other and like shattering glass, the barrier was destroyed.
