Chapter 285 - 238 : Supernova (1/2)
The force behind the attack Arthur just received was strong yet unusually strange, the moment [Transcendence], he felt an irresistible pushing power that expelled him out of the silver wolf's body.
The wolf's body fell into the abyss while Arthur's real body was flung off a couple hundred meters before he managed to stabilize himself.
Blood dripped from his new wounds, even with the help of the Dark-Star strengthening technique and his godly recovery, the injury didn't seem to be healing at all. His Health Bar didn't increase which only meant that this wound isn't like any other.
”It's a high-level curse coupled with Primordial Energy.”
The copy's tone was grave as he explained to Arthur what's happening to him. As he heard only silence from Arthur, the copy proceeded to explain in detail:
”The curse isn't the problem, with the necessary potion along with a strong enough Demonic Lightning, it's easily removable. The Primordial Energy, however, is a totally different matter. As the name suggests, it is an ancient kind of Energy only used by certain entities, usually old ones though. Those archaic elemental spirits or venerable races could wield it but even those are few and far between. Furthermore, this Primordial Energy is a level higher than Nether Energy so to suppress it or recover from a wound caused by it, you either need to go to a place where Primordial Energy is abundant OR ask a High Priest from the Holy Dominion to heal it. An adult water dragon should be able to do the job too but I really doubt he'll help you, in fact, you have more chance of convincing a High Priest more than a dragon. *Sigh* anyways, try to not clash with it, it not only can teleport but it is capable of wielding Primordial Energy albeit being a weaker version since this beast is but a copy.”
Arthur clicked his tongue as he glared at the White Tiger, which just turned illusory as it rushed at him. Without any hesitation, he turned around and flew toward Curtis, he had a plan in mind but for it to work, he needed help from Curtis and Astrith.
As he got close to Curtis, he signaled the knight and the lightning wolf while he stood at the back.
Curtis didn't glance at Arthur as he knew what to do, the blue wolf also joined the fray as he sent countless lightning bolts at the shadowy figure of the tiger, unfortunately, none of them hit its target for it was too fast.
Wielding his shield and one-handed sword, Curtis rode his white steed at it ran on the air with incredible speed, it even left a trail of golden light.
A bright golden radiance emitted from Curtis, it was like he was the sun, illuminating everything around him. The radiance was so intense to the point that even the White Tiger had to halt his charge and even back some distance, not wanting to get close to Curtis, who chasing it like a mad dog.
And like this, a cat and mouse chase began where Curtis desperately followed the White Tiger, which made efficient use of its speed to circle around the knight and try to find a blind spot to attack from.
It also paid a great deal of attention to Arthur but couldn't attack it as Curtis would rush toward his ally the moment the Divine Beast showed signs of sneak-attacking, there was also Astrith, who was protecting the motionless Arthur.
The two kinds of flames burning each side of Arthur became much more intense, black flames with ominous fog around them stretched to the area behind him, transforming the whole environment into a jet darkness where no living beings could see inside of it, much similar to Dark Rizaki.
On the opposite side of this dark world was hell itself, the sky and abyss were engulfed into a mass of dark red flames that burned the wind itself thus creating a sight even in hell one wouldn't be able to witness.
[Eternium] was activated to its full potential, it substantially raised his firepower and stats, without a doubt, it's his best supporting and enhancement skill, too bad it's cost is quite high so he can't use it forever lest he'll drop below the Spirit Realm in a few hours at best.
When he was ready and the world was split into two colors, Curtis acted at last followed right after by Astrith and Swain, who recovered a bit of strength.
One from each direction, Astrith spat three purple thunderbolts he prepared, Curtis slashed with his sword and raised his skill to the sky, sending a white blast that cut the clouds in half and descended like a tribulations, aiming straight at the White Tiger, which started vibrating its body and readied itself to avoid the combined attack of its foes.
Consecutive small red arcs were sent from Swain's rotten hands as he made his way to the White Tiger, his attacks were faster than the other two so they managed to reach their target before the rest. Unfortunately, the Divine Beast easily fazed through the blood arcs in a way that none of them managed to hit it, next came the three purple thunderbolts, which fused together and became a five-meter-long snake that opened its mouth, ready to bite down at the ferocious looking beast.
