Chapter 278 - 231 : A Beatdown (1/2)
In the Green-Leaf World, the fight between the big factions and the Divine Beast has ended rather quickly thanks to the union of several powerful individuals. Just like Arthur said, the wasteland was the target of the Divine Beasts this time, Kang Amidel was wise enough to believe him, he took the appropriate measure and even requested help from other powers and from the main branch of the Kang Family.
No one was heavily injured and the fight went pretty smoothly, they appeared in the center of a desolate mountain range where no life resides, so despite the obliteration of the place due to the fight, no souls were lost.
As Kang Amidel was flying back to his city along with two blue-robbed elders that emitted an aura much more powerful than him, dark clouds that emitted loud thunderclaps passed by them in an unimaginable speed.
They could only see red lightning way up above along with clustered Dark Clouds that blocked the light of the day and brought with it a strong pressure that forced the three of them to the ground.
The red thunder assaulted the whole Green-Leaf world whilst the main clouds of the tribulation remained in the wasteland for a moment before they warped somewhere else. Although the main dark clouds were gone, thunder still eradicated many hidden monsters and caused a wave of shock, fear, and unease to the inhabitant of this world, especially the ones living in the wasteland.
”T-this is...”
One of the elders, who had disheveled hair and a pale face looked at the thunderbolts with surprise and fear.
”It's definitely the Celestial Tribulations from the ancient records! We must inform the headquarters!”
They didn't even wait for Amidel before they got up and headed East, wanting to deliver this important piece of information as fast as possible.
Amidel remained standing on the ground, gazing at the direction where the strange dark clouds headed. He speculated that the appearance of the Divine Beasts and the Celestial Tribulation had definitely something to do with each other.
”It's heading toward the Pigolo Tribe?”
A frown appeared on the confused face of Amidel, he knew the Pigolos very well and from his knowledge, they do not have a prodigious youth or a heaven-defying artifact that force the Celestial Tribulation to appear.
...
The bolts descending around Arthur became thicker in size and much more numerous. The thunderclaps were loud, almost ear-deafening and the pressure reached a point where even a soul entity such as Curtis was affected. His thick white chains were trembling violently as if they were going to split in two.
Fortunately, the Divine Beasts were in no better position too, their bodies were pressed down and they were incapable of movement, much less attack Arthur.
Their attention was wholly focused on the falling red thunder, which didn't hit any of them and merely focused on the small area around Arthur.
On the other hand, Arthur was feeling rejuvenated, power surging in all of his muscles, the pressure coming from above wasn't affecting him.
It was as if he was being given a heavenly massage, he was feeling extremely relaxed and calm-minded. The mental stress was gone, the dizziness vanished for good and the heaviness of his body became an unusual lightness that made him feel similar to a floating feather.
It has already been two minutes since the red thunder appeared, Arthur's body emitted a loud bone cracking noise as he finally took a step. With just one step, the spatial tears in the areas intensified yet due to the tribulations, they seemed to only appear a few hundred miles away.
The falling thunder transformed into a rain of red thunderbolts, the sight was similar to a thick cage of thunderbolts that imprisoned him, leaving him with no choice but to face it head-on.
