Chapter 326 chapter 279 : omitted (2/2)
From how fast the undead are marching, it won't take them long to conquer this whole area so they are leaving, either way, the question is when?
Quite honestly, Claudia preferred to leave without having to fight, or rather, without her team fighting as there is always the chance of suffering unexpected damage. She was a bit relieved that Lucy is present, however, even without her, Rebecca and Usui can handle themselves.
One was praised as the Flame Emperor and the other was master at Darkness magic and can cast deadly curses. Compared to the old mages of Astria, people like Usui are incredibly weak. If a dragon were to show up right now, a dragon like Yamak, for example, they would suffer an instant lose.
The only reason Saly triumphed over the dragon was because of her sky-high stats and the powerful skills she has in her arsenal. Moreover, she's a beastmen, a Race known for their superior physical abilities.
......
”S-shit, what exactly is happening?”
Inside Arthur's consciousness, the Earth Spirit was shrinking in fear as the chains around the soul and the ones trapping it are twisting in a weird manner and releasing a harmful and very ominous dark fog that gave it the creeps. Even an existence as old and powerful as this spirit was feeling actual fear from this unknown fog and especially the chains, which are the source of all.
The thick chains kept slowly expanding and retracting, their jet black color deepened and the clacking sound made from the chains rubbing against each other made the spirit more and more uneasy.
The Earth Spirit felt safer inside its cell than outside, it cautiously shrunk its body and laid motionless, unwanting to resist the binding chains while avoiding the black fog as much as possible.
Even Curtis, whose soul merged with Arthur, temporarily separated himself from the main soul and distanced himself from all the fog and chains while muttering
”This is getting dangerous, I fear the worst has yet to come....”
What's more surprising is that the ARK, which had the form of a half grey half white cube, was heavily influenced by the dark fog and started turning black, its monotonous rotation became drastically faster.
Inside the ARK, the place was no longer an endless white space but a mix of white and black. The ground was still white but the 'sky' became jet black as the encroaching darkness dominated the whole place.
”And I was wondering why he was so slow at cultivating.... no way!”
The copy stared at the darkness while constantly cursing out loud
”The Dark Anguish Technique fed off his hidden emotions and multiplied their intensity....”
Unbeknownst to Arthur, a deep and scary growl resounded inside his consciousness, it made all the chains shake intensely and forced both the ARK and the Orb of the Fallen Overgods to stop rotating.
”What a terrifying thing....”
The copy stood up from the chair and grabbed the cube next to him while saying
”Freeze all motor functions. Disable the connection, enter sustained safe mode. Also, get the fuck away from those chains.”
