Chapter 398 - 348 : Blindfolded (1/2)
The next morning, although she was told to keep last night's matte a secret, Lucy still recounted everything to the surprised Arthur.
As it was Lucy who told him, he completely believed her words but was confused.
”What do you about this?”
After listening to everything, Arthur asked the silent Claud. His copy clicked his tongue and replied
”Unlike you, I've heard and witnessed everything. It was indeed surprising to see you appear like that. By the look you had, you were aware of the consequences of time travel and already accepted your imminent death, but to resort to something as dangerous as time travel, you must have been very desperate. Then again, it couldn't have been just to force you to go to the dragon's lair. Something is definitely fishy here. Nevertheless, I think we should follow his words.”
Arthur frowned, clearly not agreeing Claud but he didn't object and continued to listened.
”I don't think he lied to Lucy. He may be from the future, but a different one, another timeline. Perhaps he decided to not go the dragon's lair which resulted in tragic consequences. One thing is for sure, however, he's from a faraway future. He was Overgod but was extremely weak, surely due to the Time Wraiths.”
”Let's stay.”
Lucy interrupted them and voice her opinion. She stared at Arthur with a complicated expression. However, Arthur didn't nod his head but shook it while retorting
”No way, for my future self to travel through time, something must've happened to you.”
”But we don't know what will happen to you or me if we go there.”
While caressing her head, he smiled and said
”Not knowing is better than waiting here and expecting a tragedy to happen.”

”Puhahahahahahahaha ain't this a motherfucking surprise!”
A humongous white roc flapped its wings, which cast a large shadow over the land below. Right next to the roc was an equally big lizard, it had two head, one was blood red while the other was jet black. The lizard had a tall tail that unleashed black flames and thick fog of blood wrapped around its body.
”Indeed it is.”
Radolf licked his lips as he and Midolf stared at the beast floating in front of them. With a body just as big them, a majestic aura and a suffocating pressure. It was a blue dragon that glared at them angrily.
”And here I was thinking that it'll be an easy mission!”
Midolf roared in laughter as his body shone with a bright light, indicating his rising excitement. The two ancient beasts gazed at the Azure Dragon, a Divine Beast and apparently, a leader!
A distance away from the three beasts, a small group of robbed individuals was cautiously watching the beasts and discussing their presence among themselves.
”Tsk! To think we'd have to use our trump card so early!”
”What can we do? They appeared out of nowhere and attacked us!”
Hearing this, an old woman who was busy inspecting the white roc and the two-headed lizard, retorted in anger
”Attacked us? Are you dumb? You're the stupid ones who were scared shitless and deactivated the time-freeze!”
None dared to talk back to the old woman, they dropped their head in embarrassment and didn't dare to even glance at the elderly.
…
The Azure Dragon was the one to attack first, it opened its mouth and spat a savage energy accompanied by half illusory red flames. Midolf started flapping its lengthy wings, causing the winds to become turbulent.
Surprisingly, just the raging winds were enough to disperse the illusory flames. As for the savage energy, the lizard opened its mouth, from which an unstoppable absorption power sucked all the energy.
This was but the beginning of a bloody fight, which lasted three days.
…
Arthur set up a special formation that needs to be continuously fed with Nether Energy or Mana. It's a two-way tunnel that led him to Astria. As Lucy needed to supply the formation with her Mana, she was forced to stay.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The only reason he came here was to make sure if Saly disappeared or not. As he questioned the surprised Anastassia, his fears became true.
Saly disappeared a bit after he and Lucy left Astria. They searched for her everywhere but neither the little girl nor Astrith could be found.
