Chapter 261 - 214 : Is It Really Impossible? (1/2)

'Cough!'

The beak easily penetrated the black layer of defense created by the black-star strengthening technique. Blood gushed out unceasingly as the sharp beak of the Vermillion Bird got out from Arthur's chest, creating a gory hole that sealed Arthur's fate.

Apparently, the Vermillion Bird wasn't finished after injuring him this heavily, it tried to open its beak and rip him to shreds.

With blood leaking out of his mouth and a pale face, Arthur held the long chains that were hiding under his sleeves and wrapped them around the beak of the bird. He exerted all his strength as he pulled chains upward, trying to force the opening of the beak as it'll lead to his death.

While he was focusing on dealing with the beak, a black streak similar to a shooting star came from below. This was none other than Makaze which Arthur let go a short time ago. The blade was spinning with incredible speed as it was charging straight at the head of the Vermillion Bird.

Even with the chains around its beak, the Vermillion Bird was still trying to blast Arthur into pieces, it shook its head violently, trying to get rid of Arthur while at the same time trying to break the chains restraining its mouth.

'Let's see if you can open it with this... [Mother Of All]!'

[Mother Of All]: The user can produce Golden threats, unbreakable yet soft.

Cost: 10 Mental Power per second.

Innumerable thin threads appeared from Arthur's fingers, they softly floated around him then started wrapping around he beak. Even if one thread isn't enough to do the job, a hundred thousand may be able to hold the beak for a couple of seconds. Just like that, Mental Power was being used continuously to conjure the golden threads that transformed the Vermillion Bird's beak into a golden one, shining with a bright light.

Still shaking its head in an attempt to get rid of Arthur, the angry bird didn't notice Makaze which finally reached its head, aiming exactly at its eye, trying to blind its vision.

Although Makaze had a somewhat sentient conscience, it was far from being an intelligent Spirit thus it didn't know that the Divine Beast's eyes are protected by a transparent layer that is almost impossible to break through.

Once Arthur was sure that the beak won't open, he raised his hand toward the air and clenched his fist, it was a simple movement but it caused an ominous aura to appear out of nowhere, the air became turbulent and the space shattered on the spot.

In front of the Vermillion Bird, exactly directed at it, was a two hundred meters long Heavenly Arrow made from pure Dark Magic, it contained no hint of other attributes, it was a unique Heavenly Arrow specifically made to injure the Divine Beast.
