Chapter 395 - 345 : Ambush (2/2)
Although Arthur didn't know what his copy was on about, he still followed his words. He kept the barrier around Lucy and told her to remain here for a while.
Obviously, she knew better than to arouse suspicion about her. She threw a couple of glances at the silver-haired woman, who's supposed to be her sister as she resembled her too much!
Still possessing the body of the woman, Arthur left the restaurant and entered the alley then spread his sense. Just as his Sixth Sense caught the presence of several people, a dignified middle-aged man appeared before him.
With a domineering presence and strong presence, he stood before Arthur and frowned.
”I don't know how you're able to do it, nonetheless, you'll have to follow me!”
This man was none other than Athard. Moreover, the several presences he felt belonged to the damned Holy Knights. He didn't know how but they got a method that led him right to him.
If he stayed at the restaurant, it would've implicated Lucy, who wouldn't have stayed still.
Athard, full of anger, glared at the tall woman in front of him. His heart was beating rapidly as he finally caught the killer of his son.
Although he was surprised to see a woman instead of Arthur, the artifact the Holy Knights were using was genuine and efficient. They visited him a couple of days ago and inquired about his son's incident.
Though it was disrespectful, they still asked to inspect Visto's dead body, promising him that it's the only clue that'll lead them to the culprit.
They used a strange golden device which flashed with a bright light the moment it got closer to Visto. After a while, it started pointing South-West.
The Holy Knights didn't act immediately, they negotiated an alliance with him, which he agreed upon. They needed the culprit alive, if possible, however, he can cripple his cultivation or torture him before they take him.
'Hmpf! A God Monarch, is it?'
As he received the patriarch's glare, Arthur's hand was faster than his enemy's reaction. It was like lightning as it penetrated the man's stomach and unleashed an absurd amount of death energy and Dark Magic.
Athard's complexion paled as he coughed blood and staggered a few steps. Unfortunately, the moment Arthur acted, five golden figures jumped from all direction, all casting a spell on him.
His eye shone with a bright blue light, stopping time for a couple of seconds. He icily glared at all the incoming enemies before his body transformed into a large white Tiger.
He didn't waste any second as he opened his mouth and spat the deadliest acid in his arsenal. The moment he spat he acid, time took its course again.
Athard and another Holy Knight weren't lucky enough to dodge or resist, which bypassed the Nether Energy wrapped around bodies, trying to shake off the acid.
Since the quantity of acid that landed on them wasn't great, it didn't melt their whole bodies, however, Athard's both legs turned into a puddle of melted meat and bones, truly disgusting.
As for that Holy Knight, who was at the peak Sovereign, the acid bypassed a golden shield he created only to land on his stomach, melting the armor and affecting his Dantian.
Even his Dantian wasn't spared by the acid, which melted his whole waist, leaving him wriggling in the ground.
The four other Holy Knights were fast enough to dodge and back away instead of continuing their attack.
The five God Monarchs still didn't attack. Athard, who was wailing from pain, suddenly halted his shouting, speechless, he stared at the divine beast before him.
Same thing for the retreating four figures. The White Tiger turned illusory as it disappeared from their view, before they could react, the four Sovereigns turned into four mists of blood, not even knowing how they died.
Such a narrow alley could barely fit the White Tiger, which decreased in size. Once Arthur flew in the air, the body expanded to its original size. He could feel five powerful presences following him and forming a circle around him.
The clear blue sky was quickly replaced by dark and clustered clouds that cast a looming shadow on half of the city.
The leader of the Holy Knights, a gentle-looking old man who wore a thick armor, stared at the White Tiger with wariness.
He placed his sword vertically in front of his chest and closed his eyes, praying. The other four did the same thing, causing five pillars of light to penetrate the dark clouds and cause a commotion big enough to alert the people below.
…
Back at the restaurant, the blinding light that was caused by the five pillars of light caused the customers to get up and leave, wanting to see what's going on.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Though she knew what's going on, Lucy clenched her fists and stared at the gloomy sky, spotting a large White Tiger.
