Chapter 303 - 256 : Origin Flames of Hell (1/2)
”North pole, in the middle of nowhere. He seems to be using a special technique, I was barely able to detect his presence.”
”Let's go finish him then.”
Lucy didn't want to let such a dangerous individual alive, the very fact that he's working under 'X', who reincarnated Arthur for obviously not good intentions, makes him an existence that should be eliminated at all costs.
Instead of teleporting immediately toward the target, Arthur retrieved a luxurious looking box from his storage and passed it to Lucy while saying
”The best artifact I have ever crafted. Its name is Lonely Moon, designed to be perfectly compatible with you. Use it with care, it has an insane destructive power.”
Lucy opened the box and saw the exquisite silver revolver laying inside with more than a dozen bullets of different grades and types. Arthur proceeded into explaining the significance of the bullets, their grades, and elements, how the recoil works and the fusion formation put inside.
With her help, he'd be able to craft a bullet that is made from purely the fusion of Ice and fire, the result will be definitely the strongest bullet amongst all of them, even superior to the Atomic Bullet.
”Thank you...”
Lucy caressed the silver rifle as she gazed at her husband, she felt an instant resonation with the artifact the moment she touched. It's no wonder it was considered a masterpiece by the System and he was even given skill points once it was fully crafted.
The prowess she could demonstrate while wielding it will be multiple times stronger than when he used it. There were many restrictions and the recoil which isn't suited for him nearly obliterated his whole hand.
”No need to thank me hahaha. With both of us, he shouldn't be able to escape but we must only engage when victory is certain. I'll seal his escape route while you immobilize him.”
Lucy dripped some blood on Lonely Moon so it could become hers permanently, then she hid it under light clothes on her waist and coated it with pure Mana so it passes as undetected when someone probes her body.
Her stats increased by a significant amount, with her GodSpirit, her saber mastery, and Lonely Moon, she definitely became a terrifying woman, unlike the past, where she was helpless and weak.
When both were ready, Arthur teleported himself and Lucy exactly where 'X''s subordinate was. They both appeared in a room deep underground, the weather was freezing cold and the walls, roof, and ground were all crystalline ice.
The figure between husband and wife was startled by the sudden appearance of the two of them, however before he could react, Arthur raised his hand and used [Space Room], a skill obtained when once reached Medium Mastery in Space Magic. It creates a small Space Room that traps a target for a short period of time, with his new stats and almost flawless control, the duration and size of the room are drastically increased.
The room shook for a split second before it was surrounded by grey fog that blocked the view, the victim of this assault took out two sharp-looking bone daggers and was going to slash at Arthur, unfortunately, the second the daggers appeared in his hands, a short and soft looking white saber appeared two inches away from his neck.
He could feel the coldness of the saber, it was bone-chilling, he knew if he dared to move or try anything, that saber will decapitate him before he's able to proceed with what he planned.
He was a Sovereign and participated in a lot of fights, he had enough experience to know that he was totally helpless as he was caught off-guard, moreover, both enemies were at the same Realm as him if not stronger.
Thus, the victim could do naught but drop his guards and remain still to not get killed by mistake. From the way they appeared and neutralized him this easily, it cannot be two amateurs.
What confused him is why would they attack him, he didn't offend anyone for the past years and quietly remained here. Snory wouldn't send people either, he'd just need a finger to kill him.
