Chapter 345 - 298 : Final Showdown 2 (1/2)
The Joker stomped his foot and immediately dispersed the annoying Void mouths and ignored the Heavenly Arrow which pierced his shoulders but wasn't able to injure him. The arrow vanished soon after as it wasn't able to use its fast momentum to wound Arthur's enemy.
Just as Arthur retreated a few hundred meters, a dark streak flew across the sky and headed toward him with incredible speed. Makaze, which just appeared on Astria, charged toward its partner while leaving waves of black flames in its path.
As for the Joker, he folded his arms and inspected Arthur's body yet again after taking one a special black card.
'0❤ Masquerade!'
The Joker's eyes shone with a bright golden light as they landed on the small rat which emitted a thick black fog.
”Hmm lemme see... a Dual-spi...no... it's a Tri-Spirit.... a soul of Transcendent Holy Knight.... a pathetic orb... and an interesting cube. Hahahaha each of these things will make anybody greedy. The spirit will surely bring a tribulation... argh this is so annoying, I'll have to interfere.”
Due to his attention focusing on Arthur, only when the sword was held by its proper owner did the Joker shift his focus to the curved dark blade which was vibrating despite it being sheathed.
The moment his eyes landed on the blade, he furrowed his brows and mumbled
”Evil wind... that means you're...”
He gazed at Arthur, who regained his appearance. He no longer was jet black and his original appearance could be seen. With long grey hair and a scar on his face. All the dark fog and darkness around him disappeared, in fact, he looked pretty calm as he stroked the dark blade.
”Arthur MoonStar. So you're actually from this world. Fate, that bitch really knows how to handle things.”
Just as he cursed fate, a white bolt of lightning descended from above and struck his head. Although it burned his funny hat and caused slight bleeding, such an injury was healed in just a second. It may look like a simple lightning bolt but it could even kill a God Monarch.
”Bitch! Do you think hitting me with your petty shit will do something? I dare you to come here and fight me!”
Just as he yelled on top of his lungs, only the silence was his answer. Annoyed, the Joker clicked his tongue and shouted again
”Ha! I knew you're one cowardly bitch! I'll roast you alive if you dare show before me! Now fuck off somewhere else and stop bothering me.”
He was the one who addressed her first yet he told her to stop bothering him. It was a funny sight but the other end couldn't do anything about him. Just like that, the Joker waited for a few seconds before he looked back at Arthur, who closed his eyes.
Three bright triangles appeared before him, each with a color. The biggest one was Dark, the second biggest was a grey one and the smallest was yellowish.
Each emitted an abnormal amount of either Nether Magic, Dark Mana or Death Energy. Slowly but surely, the triangles were approaching each other and a strange square.
Once the fusion was successful, ominous looking black chains appeared out of nowhere and wrapped themselves around the square.
As he watched this scene, the Joker looked at the skies and noticed dark clouds clustering above them. He rolled his eyes in irritation and took out a card
'9♠ Celestial Opposition'
The card was becoming bigger and bigger until it was more than 100 meters in length. Even the black chains retracted themselves and decreased the fog they were releasing, it was a clear sign of fear.
Once it reached the necessary size, the card shone with a blinding light, causing the square to shake from fear and even pushing Arthur more than a kilometer away from the Joker.
The clustering clouds tried resisting as small red lightning bolts hit the card but to no avail, the light extinguished everything and in merely one minute, the there sky became clear, devoid of any cloud.
In doing this, the Joker helped Arthur avoid another celestial tribulation. He didn't do it out of kindness but due to personal reasons.
