Chapter 339 - 292 : Claudia 3 (1/2)

Stupefied and unable to comprehend what just happened, Claudia stared at the grey ash in her hand then back to Arthur, who was looking at her with an amused expression.

A low-grade item such as this one can easily be nullified with his High Mastery of Space Magic. In fact, he can even negate the high-grade items as long as they aren't above Mystic Rank.

(Small reminder: Items ranks are : Spirit => Mystic=> Heavenly, Godly, Mysterious.)

”You think you can escape your fate that easily? I don't think so.”

Arthur shrugged his hands innocently then clutched the air with his hand thus resulting in Claudia being raised a few centimeters above ground and suffocating as her hand was being grabbed by something invisible.

Slowly, Arthur started walking up to this venomous woman while his figure started turning illusory until he regained his old appearance.

Once he was merely two meters away from her, her pupils contracted as she even forgot to struggle for air. She stared at him with a dumb look as she didn't know what the hell was going on.

This was obviously none other than her deceased husband, who was supposed to have died five years ago. For more than ten seconds, she remained in this state until the grip that was tightening around her neck was finally retracted.

The woman fell on her knees but her eyes still didn't leave Arthur, who was watching her with an emotionless face.

”I bet you never thought that such a day would come, right?”

He stared at this woman who made his previous life miserable, even in her current state. With a disheveled hair, weakened body and pale face, he felt no trace of pity.

In fact, he could feel his insides burning as his hidden emotions started surfacing. All the rage and anger he had been saving her for her.

It is no longer about a simple story of revenge but it's about repaying old debts and getting back at her for all the horrible things she had done to him and all of that for what? Just money and power, material things that surely would push anyone to do the things she did but not the same way.

He knew she felt joy when she saw him suffer and wondered many times about this matter. What could he had done to her to push her to the extreme and make her torture him for months!

It wasn't a human thing to do, a thing that even demons of hell would refrain from doing.

”A-a... w-wha”

Claudia couldn't utter any words as they got stuck in her throat. She sat there, astonished and confused about this whole matter. The first thing she thought was 'Impossible'.

He died five years ago and even if he was a God, he can't come back to life. She saw his dead body and confirmed it herself that he was deader than dead!

”T-this is P-preposterous! You're not 'him'!”

With reddened eyes, she pointed at him angrily with a trembling body. Although she was sure he wasn't the real one, she still couldn't help but feel anxious and afraid.

”Y-you...! You're using illusion to trick me!”

The truth was before her eyes but the woman was refusing to believe reality. With the appearance of Magic on Earth, there surely are people who are adept at using illusions, which is why she uttered those words to try and convince herself.

”What's preposterous? The fact that I'm still alive or the fact that I'm here, cornering you like the rat you are?”
