Chapter 192 - 167.2 : No Mercy For The Enemies (2/2)
Arthur contemplated for a bit then added
”What about the bad seeds?”
”Ah?”
The older brother was dumbfounded for an unknown reason but he soon snapped out of his daze when Arthur whistled playfully, his body trembled and he resumed
”M-most of them are turned into s-servants....”
With one hand on his chin, Arthur sat on air and pondered for a minute before he clapped his hands with a satisfied expression and added
”Good job on the truthful answers!”
Seeing he was in a somewhat good mood, the older one urged his brother and they both bowed towards Arthur respectfully and said emotionally
”Thank you for sparing our humble lives!”
Knowing that they did well to not oppose him and act arrogant, the twins were happy and the immense fear dissipated, however, such thing didn't last for long. The atmosphere on the deck of the Spirit Boat suddenly became extremely chilly. Killing intent that almost suffocated them and a cold presence that made their spines numb, which was followed by a voice akin to the devil's
”I never said that I'll spare you, though.”
As his words finished, the bodies of twins fell lifelessly on the deck, without even being able to retort or utter the last cry. They died miserably, just like their comrades.
”Anyone who hinders my goals is nothing but enemies that should be killed. An insignificant ant today can still trouble tomorrow. Always kill until the last one, isn't that right, Lucy.....”
Arthur lamented with a sad expression. He sighed and gathered the corpses then scavenged their possessions. With another wave of his hand, the Spirit Boat was also collected. Although it cannot be compared to the one he bought from the Underworld, he still had to use this one as the other one was given to Lucy.
There was no meaning to linger there any longer so Arthur flew back to where the captives were. Unfortunately, he didn't find any familiar person amongst them, which disappointed them a bit. Although they were powerless in such a world, he was never a savior.
Facing a short-haired female who seemed to be their leader, he brought her away from rest which led her to become uneasy and a bit afraid, her unyielding attitude was shaken a bit as she faced this unknown man. She still tried to maintain a calm expression, however, her body betrayed her as it shivered nonstop.
They didn't know the whole situation but they were able to guess that since the disciples and the old man didn't come back then this gray-haired man dealt with them.
For weak people like them, it didn't matter who was in charge of them, their miserable fate won't change.
”You do not have to be afraid, I'm not lusting over you nor am I going to do anything to you.”
The short-haired female really was scared when she was facing such an existence, even his words were not helpful. Arthur could only sigh and take out a few scriptures from his storage whilst saying
”You are weak, that is an undebatable fact but your fate is in your hands and all I can give you is a helping hand, whether you can grasp this chance depends on your will. The world is large and the universe is vast but maybe there will come a time when we will meet again if fate it allows it.”
With that, he summoned a strong Death Knight and cut his connection with it after he ordered it to follow the girl's orders. With that, he didn't wait for the girl to respond before he departed. He didn't mind leaving a few techniques for them, he didn't need them and although he wasn't willing to take them with him, he still wanted to have a leeway because he was sure that Lucy would have done the same.
As his feet stepped across the skies and crossed thousands of kilometers in seconds, Arthur was lost in a long chain of thoughts, reminiscing about his happy yet short memories with Lucy. They have been separated for a short time but for him, it felt like an eternity.
'We are separated by the heavens, but our bond is not something the river of time or the will of fate can break! Anyone who stands on the path leading to you will be massacred, even if it was the whole world!'
