Chapter 380 - 331.2 : Doomed (2/2)
Arthur clicked his tongue and vanished almost instantaneously. He was left with no choice but to hastily leave this place. The Grand Elder and didn't know what's going on, only when his heart calmed down did he notice that his friend left.
…
A few days later, on the base of a sky-high mountain, precisely inside a beautiful courtyard that was usually empty, Losha was scolding Lucy, who was silently meditating.
Five lotuses span around her and every time she tried to form the sixth one, she would fail and receive the berating of her temporary master.
She had advanced in her Nine Star Yin technique in such a short time and her control over her Physique significantly rose but Losha wasn't pleased and continued to train her day and night.
At the top of this mountain which was actually floating above the clouds, there stood a dark-cloaked man who stared at the two women in silence.
He was motionless and shrouded in darkness, unable to be seen.
”Continue to circulate your Mana, first the fingers, hands, arms. Be precise!”
Losha turned around and left the courtyard, leaving Lucy, who never protested and meticulously trained.
A few moments later, Losha appeared a distance away from the figure at the peak of the mountain. She looked around her, searching for something.
”I don't know who you are but if you don't scram then I-”
Before she could finish, something occurred a few meters away from her. Ominous darkness appeared out of nowhere and from within it appeared a cloaked man.
Since he had his hood down, Losha recognized him the moment she laid eyes on him.
”You are… Arthur?”
She intensely stared him and although the appearance was similar, the aura was totally different. In fact, she felt threatened by his presence, unlike their last meeting.
”Indeed, you're really strong.”
Commented Arthur as he inspected Losha.
Losha wanted to ask him what's he doing here but her expression drastically changed as she seemed to sense something.
She looked at the grey sky and spoke with a grave tone
”This feeling… it's Time Wraiths! You time traveled?”
”Hahaha you can never fool a reincarnator.”
Arthur smiled and then resumed talked after a momentary pause
”You're doomed.”
Losha said those words as if they were an absolute fact. Her expression became a bit strange as she stared back at him.
”I need you to go somewhere and protect it until I come back.”
Before she could talk, Arthur added:
”No need to argue or refuse, farewell.”
He threw a letter and a scroll at her, the woman unconsciously caught them and only after he disappeared, leaving a bloodied arm on the grand did she snap out of her daze.
He wasn't attacked but intentionally left it as a second later, Time Wraiths appeared and leapt at the bloody arm, sucking everything out of it until it turned into black ash that dispersed soon after.
The thing that dumbfounded her was the scroll which was actually a Fate Contract. Moreover, she signed it herself which means she agreed to follow the conditions.
After thoroughly checking the contract she read the contents of the letter and became more flabbergasted.
…
Arthur remained inside his room for a few more days before finally leaving it. He transformed the Dark Cloud into a clone identical to him and possessed a rotten corpse of a rat before drilling into the groom and leaving the capital. His destination was the Mountain Ba sword sect.
He needs to meet with Jian Si and inquire about the missing prince and princess. They had to be kidnapped by someone and with her status, finding them shouldn't be that difficult, especially after giving her enough time to do so.
Arthur went unnoticed as he left the Mirage Era Hall Sect and kept traveling underground until he arrived at the mountain range belonging to Cold Sword's sect.
His Stealth skills are unparalleled to the point that even a God Monarch would have difficulties finding him. With the Space Bender title and his maxed Stealth skills, it'll be pretty much impossible to attract attention unless done purposely.
