Chapter 234 - 189 : Res (1/2)
Ehrendil could only react at the swinging sword by retreating back, out of its range. He could deflect it but his techniques are all aggressive and the girl would be injured, which is something he isn't brave enough to do.
If she were to be the least bit injured, that's enough reason for her backing to devour his tribe, there is also the option of silencing her so that nobody knows but such a choice isn't a wise one because he was seen by many people when he saw leaving the city in search of Arthur.
”The situation is getting out of hand, don't you think so, Ehrendil?”
Arthur spoke to the distressed Ehrendil, making the latter glare at him angrily and say
”So it's YOU!”
Ehrendil flew straight at Arthur again, intending to finish him but he was interrupted by Jian Si, who blocked his way yet again.
”Miss Jian, I do not want to hurt you, please move away or face the consequences!”
”Hmpf! I'd like to see you try.”
The girl wasn't the least bit fazed by the God, for a person with a background like hers, she has an abundance of life-saving treasures, however, she was confident in beating him even without them.
The pressure emanating from Ehrendil increasing, he tried to overwhelm her and force her to back off but from her the stubborn and serious look on her face, he knew that it was futile.
The tension remained for a whole minute with the two sides at a stand-off before Ehrendil let out a helpless sigh and retreated. He signaled for the two remaining generals to follow him then he left the area as if nothing happened.
'Having is a powerful background is seriously useful…'
Arthur lamented on his fate, he was always forced to fight as he couldn't scare his enemies with his background since he came from a low-Realm. Ehrendil wasn't going to drop this matter, he would certainly strike when Jian Si is gone, but at that time, he would have recovered and would fear the gargoyles no more.
The two resumed walking, Arthur didn't give any words of thanks or praise for Jian Si as if it was her job to protect him, not the other way around.
Arthur intended to head to the city, it was by far the safest place since Amidel invited him earlier and no powerful enemies could bypass the Kang Sovereign and attack him directly.
Moreover, he already got the necessary Spatial Mastery to travel to Earth, all he needed was its coordinates, which is something easy to acquire.
Each world has its unique coordinates, including Earth. Most Realms were interconnected by Spatial Tunnels excluding the abandoned or destroyed ones.
Arthur suspected that the Earth is situated in the System's universe, and to obtain its coordinates, he needs to visit the forgotten continent on Astria, which was mentioned several times by Zodiak.
Astria was definitely in the X-TR 500 Universe, and it was also one of the abandoned worlds, which is why there is a severe lack of visitors from other worlds.
The forgotten continent, which is in the North-West of the Demon Continent is supposedly protected by a powerful illusion formation causing it to be untraceable by outside sources.
Zodiak didn't mention how to get in, but knowing its location is enough for Arthur, he was confident in finding an appropriate way to enter.
The mythical being, Zodiak, never wrote any details about the forgotten continent but he mentioned more than one time, which intrigued Arthur.
