Chapter 340 - 293 : Sudden Death (1/2)

”I-It can't b-be! You died!”

Claudia was hell-bent on rejecting reality. Even in a world like hers, where technology is reaching its peak and Magic is a normal thing, the revival of the dead isn't a common thing, not even in High-Realms. In fact, it's the most taboo thing one could ever do.

The dead should never be revived, which is why the Undead are partially hated by some factions, mainly the Holy Dominion.

”Ah... you really want me to speak of your little secret? Alright, it doesn't concern me so I'm fine with saying it. Hmm... let's say that your respected step-father had an unusual liking to his little foster daughter.”

Claudia's body trembled fiercely as she heard his words. Now, there was no denying that this man is her deceased husband, Arthur Bilgart.

”A-Arthur... is that really you?”

'SLAP!'

This time, it wasn't Arthur who slapped her but Lucy, who remained silent and merely watched the show from the sidelines.

”Don't you ever utter his name.”

Unfortunately, Lucy didn't weaken her strength so her slap literally disfigured Claudia. A dislocated jawline and red cheeks and bleeding lips. The sight was truly horrible and even Claudia's closest acquaintance won't be able to recognize her.

Claudia ignored her current state and sneered in a desperate tone

”S-so what if you're alive? Do you think I'm going to apologize for the past? Or beg you to spare my life? Ha! Don't make laugh*spit* you totally deserved everything!”

Arthur wasn't angered by her words, in fact, he displayed a broad smile and clapped his hands while saying

”Now that's the real you! It really won't be satisfying unless I see such stubbornness hahahahaha”

Arthur was just about to bind her using Telekinesis when something suddenly occurred. Neither he nor Lucy were injured as a cool breeze passed by their necks but wasn't even able to tear their clothes, however, the disaster was actually that Claudia didn't have such an impenetrable defense like the couple.

Cleanly and swiftly, the disfigured face along with the whole head of Claudia was sent flying in the air and landed a couple of meters away from the headless body.

Arthur was so focused on this whole matter and with Claudia so the moment this happened, it immediately made him astonished and in a daze. He forgot everything around him and merely stared at the lifeless corpse in front of him with hollow eyes.

Lucy wasn't the same, she was momentarily startled but quickly regained her senses and spread her Godly Sense to find out the enemies' location.

Unfortunately, she wasn't able to find them for some time, however, that only lasted for half a minute before she managed to find the two hiding rats.

For two strangers to be able to attack them without her or Arthur's awareness, there are only two options. One is that the enemies are way stronger than them and second is that they used a particular technique or a treasure/artifact that allowed them to remain undetected.

....

High up in the sky, approximatively two kilometers away from Arthur and Lucy. Two old men were floating in the air as they stared at the cave which had three corpses and two higher beings which were stronger than they expected.

”I wasn't even able to injure them with my Time Rupture. They are just a God and a Half-Sovereign, how come they could resist me?”

The two old men pondered for a few seconds before the second one talked
