Chapter 233 - 188 : Here Comes The Gargoyles (1/2)

Ehrendil spotted a dark cube in the far distance, almost hidden by the ravaged trees and clustered boulders. He immediately headed with a few generals to see what's happening. As one of the people who were present when their Earth Spirit was stolen, he definitely knew that whoever is controlling the dark cube is, without a doubt, the same person who infiltrated their headquarters and did as he pleased, robbing their guardian.

This was a humiliation even his usually calm brother, Tarathiel, couldn't bear, so they vowed to hunt this rat and kill him, after they retrieve the Earth Spirit, of course.

With boiling blood and a bit of cautiousness, Ehrendil flew towards the dark cube but once they were some distance away, it suddenly vanished into thin air, startling the generals who were more afraid than him due to the ominous aura caused by the aftereffect of the Dark Magic.

Being a God, Ehrendil was more resistant to it but he still felt uncomfortable, however, such a feeling made him certain of his suspicions.

…

Soon enough, the two groups met, on one side were two people, one was a grey-haired man and accompanying him was a girl with an expressionless face and a large sword on her back. The other side encompassed four individuals, one was Ehrendil and the remaining three were generals under him, all at the Divine Realm.

Ehrendil paid little attention to Cold Sword and looked at Arthur, he didn't try to hide his killing intent, indicating that he's not here to talk. However, his focus was soon shifted to Jian Si as his underling whispered a few words into his ears, made him realize how unlucky he was.

Arthur glanced at the group which blocked their way then he took another turn, intentionally avoiding them.

Fighting Ehrendil is barely doable but he was certain that emerging victorious is impossible, he would be able to fight equally against the God for a short time before he collapses. He was still feeling dizzy and it's only thanks to his high recovery that he's managed to walk properly.

”Stop right there!”

Despite the presence of Jian Si, Ehrendil still planned to take down Arthur, it's his first time seeing this man but apart from him, there's no other suspect and it couldn't Cold Sword who created that much chaos in their headquarters, she was strong but not enough to steal the Earth Spirit. Moreover, being an infamous individual in the Green-Leaf world, a lot of people know about her and her techniques, she definitely wasn't the one who used that dark cube, or so speculated the desert gargoyle.

He never talked with the girl so he couldn't understand why she was looking at him like that, eyes full of killing intent, as far as Ehrendil knew, Jian Si never created trouble for people who didn't bother her. She's the vengeful type but only to those who purposely provoke her and his previous words were only directed at the grey-haired man.

”Hm? Is there something you need?”

Arthur spoke with a calm tone, showing that he wasn't fazed by the Godly aura being unleashed by Ehrendil, who unsuccessfully tried to pressure him.

”Yes, I need you to come with us.”

Whilst nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders, Arthur retorted

”I'm afraid that's not going to happen, I have some business to take care of. Maybe another time…”

Arthur didn't wait for a response as he continued walking with Jian Si behind him. As per his expectations, things didn't go as smoothly as Ehrendil wasn't going to let him go this easily. It's unfortunate that his true appearance was seen but that doesn't matter since he can change it as in the blink of an eye.

A wall of earth rose from the ground, forcing them to stop walking as it blocked their front, rendering them unable to advance any further. Jian Si took this a sign so she unhesitatingly retrieved her sword and cut the wall in pieces without any effort, she then directed her previously accumulated anger on those targets, who all had pale faces except for the God.
