Chapter 185 - 165.3 : Unpenetrable Dark Cube (2/2)

The dark flaming ball previously conjured, which was frozen mid-air after it met the barrier, seemed to have come back to life as it smashed at the abdomen of the knight, where the Heavenly Arrow struck.

Arthur wasn't done yet, in fact, this was but the beginning. He wasn't stupid and knew that destroying that barrier meant that the gargoyles will take notice and come at any second, so he sprang into actions.

The worm abruptly teleported in front of the knight when an explosion occurred at the other side of the hall. With an angry yet worried expression, Tarathiel appeared accompanied by Ehrendil. Their pupils were glued to the knight, which was shaking intensely due to the mysterious dark flaming ball stuck in its abdomen.

Their senses quickly caught sight of the invisible worm, which seemed to strangely float near the knight without doing a thing.

Obviously, the two Gods didn't just sit there and watch, they both flew towards the knight with their God Spirits appearing and intending to get rid of the worm, however, things didn't go as expected.

Before they could get close, their vision turned dark due to the appearance of an extremely large dark cube. It covered the whole hall, imprisoning the worm and the knight. Furthermore, it blocked their senses from entering and blocked their view, which made their faces turn ugly, especially for Tarathiel, who didn't the situation to suddenly turn to worse.

The formation he set around the knight should have resisted for a long time, even a first grade God can't shatter it that fast! This made him think of the mysterious white-clothed young man, but that thought was soon abandoned as he thought of the twins. When he interrogated them a few days ago, they clearly admitted that they knew the young man but upon further investigation, they had come to a conclusion that it wasn't their comrade as he wasn't as strong as being able to fight against Gods. From their information, their comrade was at the Divine Realm, and to make things more complicated, the mysterious person who wrecked havoc in their base was also at the Divine Realm so the clan master didn't know which truth to believe which led him to stop thinking about for the time being and deal with Ti Eru, who seemed to have gone crazy.

.....

The long body of the worm wrapped around the waist of the sitting knight, its large mouth bit on its back whilst spitting very small purple mouths, which relentlessly ate the body of the Earth Spirit, not letting ago anything, even if it was mere stone.

Arthur didn't hold back as he used all his Nether Energy to activate Void skills and weaken the knight. His goal this time wasn't to possess it but to 'take' it with him, with enough time, he can possess it so first, he had to get out of here with the knight. The first step, which was the most difficult was surprisingly easily achieved and with the protection of the dark cube, there's no way they would be able to catch him anytime soon. The worm silently laid around the knight as it devoured its body and spat Green Lightning and purple void mouths.

Meanwhile, inside a Spatial Passage, a strange sight was happening. A dark ball as big as half of the dark cube was slowly contracting, each time it became smaller, the pressure it emanated multiplied until it started reaching a terrifying degree that even made the passage vibrate slowly as if it couldn't hold on.

With everything going smoothly and exactly as planned, albeit a bit easier, Arthur didn't dare to act cocky or overconfident, he just laid that and patiently wait for the things to end.

'It's all about time. Whether you can make it in time or not depends on breaking my sweet box, have fun, dear Gods.'
