Chapter 225 - 180 : The Last Struggle 2 (2/2)
The sky near the city was colored with all kinds of spells, the ground shook, mountains split and the barrier showed signs of destruction.
'Boom!'
Yet Another detonators were deflected by the illusory hands of the old man, it landed near the walls of the city, exploding and creating an enormous crater. Two figures retreated, each into a direction, one was the old man, who looked more disheveled than before, his robe was completely red and his face was pale, he even showed signs of exhaustion.
The other one was the silver wolf, which had a few wounds all over its body but it didn't seem weakened as it growled menacingly at its enemy, ready to leap at him again.
”This damned monster…”
The old man held his scepter and retrieved a long white staff from his storage, he did a few hand seals which caused the two weapons to vibrate then fuse together as if they were one piece from the very beginning.
This, however, was the first step, the old man's face became paler as he spat a golden drop of blood, which merged with the new weapon, making it release bright golden lights that illuminated the whole area as if it was a sun.
Arthur felt overwhelming pressure and great danger from that weapon, his bestial instincts were unceasingly warning him to turn around and run but it was too late for that.
The silver wolf took a fighting stance and opened its mouth wide, not showing signs of retreat. The old man grinned and recited
”Holy Arts, Sixth Chapter: Golden Nova!”
A golden humanoid figure conjured from the old man's weapon appeared in front of him, it was three meters tall, held a blade of light and looked at Arthur, who stared back with ferocity, undaunted by the aura this figure was emanating.
The howling winds calmed down as they were all being absorbed inside the wolf's mouth, an ominous dark fog surrounded the beast and harmless dark flames were burning it.
The old man, who suffered enough strange attacks from Arthur, wasn't going to wait for the target to finish preparing his attack. The golden humanoid figure charged at Arthur, swinging its blade with full intensity at the big wolf.
Just from its Holy aura, the clustered dark cloud dispersed and the rain stopped, the figure was the embodiment of life, Holiness, and serenity.
From the countless exchanges, Arthur discovered that the old man was quite wary of Dark Magic and the Ancient Flames, he was also injured by a few Void-oriented skills.
He discarded the Ancient flames for this attack as it is too burdening and decided to use Dark Magic and Void Magic, their fusion leads to the Eclipse Magic, which he hasn't used in a very long time since it wasn't as powerful as Dark Magic.
A Heavenly Arrow from pure Eclipse Magic, it was his first try but he had high expectations, he expanded a lot of Energy, he was mentally exhausted and it won't be long before he is forced to leave the wolf's body else he falls unconscious without realizing it.
As the humanoid figure got close, something flew from the wolf's large mouth, it had fast speed and so much power that all the space behind it shattered.
An orange arrow four meters long absorbed the air and Energy like a bottomless hole and strengthened itself by devouring everything as it made its way toward the golden figure.
Arthur swiftly retreated, knowing that the collision will cause catastrophic damage, there's no knowing if he gets injured by the clash and knowing the proprieties of the Void Magic, being damaged by it is irreversible.
The blade made of light and the arrow met each other, distorting space and causing an annoying ringing sound to be heard. The golden figure used its other hand to press against the other, planning to push it away as it couldn't extinguish it, however, even that was impossible as its hand was devoured the moment it touched the orange arrow.
Further strengthened, the arrow became bigger as it pressed against the white blade, absorbing its light and enlarging its size, the cycle went on until the golden figure let go of its blade and intertwined its hands, using them as a hammer to smash the arrow from above with all its strength.
At last, the arrow was forced down, it flew straight at the ground, devouring it and creating a large bottomless hole, no one knows how deep it went before it stopped.
A few seconds after it went down, a deafening explosion was heard from underground, some of the buildings in the city couldn't handle it and fell down, cultivators took refuge in safe places as the barrier shattered and the nearby mountains and hills split apart, creating large valleys and deep holes.
