Chapter 330 - 283 : Donst Come Back (1/2)

”COUGH COUGH L-LET ME G- COUGH”

The girl's face turned red as she choked due to Arthur's firm and strong grip, which was slowly killing her.

With a cold look on his face, Arthur stared at this seemingly harmless girl while his his hand, which was making contact with the other party's skin was releasing a large amount of Dark Magic which invaded her body and started weakening her and consuming her vitality. He wasn't satisfied with just that as he released three Detonators a third of their normal size, the creepy looking fireballs entered the girl's chest which made her panic even more.

Her screaming was futile so she started calling for help, instead

”Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

As she requested help, a fast shadow flew straight at Arthur, however, before it could collide with him, it was sent flying far away from the village.

The force behind the attack the shadow just received was truly monstrous as it disappeared from the little girl's view and flew for a couple of miles before this individual somehow managed to stabilize his body once it crashed on the ground.

”What the hell? I didn't even see who attacked me.”

The man, who was supposed to be the girl's father, touched his head then looked at his bloodied hand with a stupefied expression.

As he was focused on Arthur, who surprisingly is stronger than their expectation, he wasn't even able to sense or notice the one who attacked him.

”It surely wasn-”

As he lifted his head to stare at the direction of the village, his instincts alerted him of the incoming danger. Unfortunately, his reactions were just too slow as Lucy appeared before him with a very chilling and cold aura surrounding her.

By the time he reacted, the thin and soft white saber of Lucy had already created three holes in his body. Just like the girl, he manipulated time and attempted to freeze it so he could retreat or counter-attack but the results were beyond his expectation.

The rising dust which was supposed to freeze in mid-air due to the temporary time-stop was only frozen for half a beat before an explosive amount of Yin Energy was released from Lucy.

The pure Yin Energy literally froze everything in its way, the time-stop was canceled and the whole area was turned into a snowy field. The ground was turned into ice and countless snowflakes filled the sky.

The 'father' couldn't escape from this as ice covered his abdomen all the way to his legs and no matter how much he tried to break it, he couldn't, especially when the enemy was standing before him with her saber only an inch away from his throat.

”If I sense any reaction from you then consider yourself dead.”

'Isn't this supposed to be some backwater planet...'

The man inwardly cursed whoever led him to this place. At first, when he assessed Lucy, he discovered that she's decently strong but at most, she's a little Sovereign.

As for Arthur, he was also a strange existence but due to his special Race, the man couldn't see through the parasite and speculated that his power was on par with the silver-haired woman.

.......

Back to Arthur and the little girl, who became more uneasy and afraid when she saw the man sent flying far away and not coming back even after a minute has passed.

”Don't expect your 'daddy' to come to help you, he's in a position even worse than yours.”

The more she stared back at this grey-haired man, the more fearful she became. His pupil which was flashing with a grey light made her feel as if it was sucking her soul out of her body.

Moreover, the ominous magic that invaded her body rendered unable to use her Time manipulating abilities.

As Arthur weakened his grip a bit, the little girl was able to talk properly at last. However, her face was extremely pale and her body was shaking nonstop due to the Dark magic that weakened her body and the Natural Lightning which was tightly wrapped around her heart, ready to burst it at a moment's notice.

Arthur put three precautions, the first being the detonators which will turn her into a meat paste, the second is the Dark Magic which will consume her slowly but surely. Last but not least is the vibrating Natural Lightning, currently, it's stronger than ever and usually, it's barely noticed by his opponents.

”W-what do you want?”

”What do I want? Aren't you the one who cockily provoked me?”

When she heard his response, she became flabbergasted and retorted

”What!? I never provoked you! I only asked you a simple question?”

Arthur sighed and said one final thing before he waved his hand, teleporting himself and his captive to where Lucy is.

”I hate being looked down onto. What I hate even more is haughty people who think they are some hot shit but end up being worse than trash.”
