Chapter 227 - 182 : The Last Struggle 4 (1/2)

”To think you wanted to defeat me, a Sovereign? That's just wishful thinking, even with monstrous abilities like yours.”

The old man looked at Arthur with an evil grin, he enjoyed the miserable look of his enemy. He didn't dare drop his guard as the illusory hands protected from both sides.

Blood leaked out of Arthur's ugly wounds, he reeked of blood and the bitter taste of this red liquid never left his mouth. He was so weakened that he could barely move, the passives were turned off but their after effect took a huge toll on his mind and body.

If he did not turn on the pain immunity, he would have collapsed from the pain long ago. Half-kneeling on the floor, Arthur grinned as he stared back at the old man, who was oblivious to what's about to happen.

Arthur used all the remaining of his Nether Energy to activate his ultimate skill, Rizaki. He used Dark Magic for this one so he won't cause himself a lot of damage, the only thing to do now is waiting for it since it required a short period of time to explode.

The small dark dot was decreasing in size but the intensity and quantity of Dark Magic inside of it are tremendous. He was certain that a lot of people would be harmed in the process and that's unfortunate, but he couldn't afford to let himself be caught or killed like this, not after all he had done to kill the Spatial Master. He had a family waiting for him, a wife and a daughter, a long life to live and it's definitely not some old foggy that's going to steal that from him.

If worse comes to worse, he would even break his chains to kill this bastard then travel to Earth, passing the rest of his remaining time with his wife. However, Rizaki is a powerful and frightening skill, even if the Sovereign was at his peak state, it would do enough damage to kill him or heavily injure him, buying Arthur enough time to retreat.

He no longer wanted to kill the enemy, escaping alive is better than perishing here even if it costs being hunted by strong people and having his trump cards and skills known to them.

”It's such a shame, really… if you were smart enough to surrender, you would have become a good seed to nurture, however, you were consumed by the Dark Magic and your soul has become tainted.”

The old man stopped a few meters away from Arthur and raised his hand, emitting Holy light that landed on Arthur, intending to finish him once and for all.

”Hahahah *cough* tainted? Consumed? That's just you twisting words *cough* but you are right in one thing… it's already too late.”

As Arthur finished his sentence, darkness that covered the whole area, the city, the mountains and stretching as far as a thousand miles. It blocked the view of every living being, all they could see is darkness, be it Gods or Sovereigns, they were all alike, trapped in this ominous darkness that brought fear, uneasiness, and dread to all who are trapped inside of it.

The old man's smiling face froze as Arthur disappeared from his view, he clutched his hand, adding more power to the Holy Light but there was no light, the darkness consumed everything, no matter how much Nether Energy he injected, he was helpless.

Kang Amidel, who was watching from afar, was also freaked out by this, he took out an old box and opened it, causing small, almost inexistent light to emanate from a pure drop of water laying there.

Without any slight hesitation, he threw the drop of water into his mouth then followed with several hand seals but despite this, the darkness was still scaring him. Light a candle in a small dark room, his body flashed with a blue light, this comforted him as his treasure had worked but the danger was still around.

He didn't dare to waste time as he rushed straight towards the direction of the city. With all his view covered by this ominous darkness, all he could hope for was that he was heading towards the right way else it would be catastrophic if the city is destroyed.

He didn't know what exactly happened, but he guessed that this was the last trick the grey-haired man had. He too, thought that the fight was over and it was the old man's win, never did he think a nightmare would befall on him this suddenly.

A growling soon followed the falling darkness, it brought chills to whoever heard it and many weak cultivators couldn't handle the terror, passing out on the spot.

The Darkness lasted for only a minute, but it felt like a day for most of those who experienced it. The high leveled skill [Nightmare] that those who are skilled in Darkness attribute have is absolutely nothing compared to this, the skill only had a radius of a dozen meters at most, but this one exceeded a hundred miles!
