Chapter 425 - 375 : Snow Storm (1/2)

An encroaching darkness, different from the cloak of the night, covered the sky, a chilling aura with Arthur at the center, spread to all directions, causing weaker cultivators to fall unconscious. Everyone was affected by this sudden darkness, even mighty figures like Wrath and the old man leading the Holy Dominion group.

Although it lasted only for a few seconds before it vanished, it still brought fear to the closest people. The pink-haired girl, who never expected such a sight when coming here, retreated to the back with a pale face and a shocked expression. Even when the Dark Magic user fought back in the capital, it wasn't like this… this intense.

The Flame Crown Prince's expression turned uglier, he glared at the man wrapped in darkness, murderous intent leaking from him.

When everything became clear again, two figures were standing next to each other, facing the not-so-ready Holy Knights. One with two wings erecting from his back, one white and the other black, while the other was a woman with a silver-hair, she had a striking resemblance to Angelina, who was also surprised by what just happened.

”What are you staring at them for?! GET THEM!”

The old man loudly shouted at his subordinates. His yell snapped them out of their daze, they unsheathed their weapons, raised their shield and approached Arthur and Lucy.

As he saw the incoming bunch, Arthur's hand turned illusory and before anyone could react, the sixteen Holy Knights which acted as a vanguard lifelessly fell on the ground, their bodies missing their heads.

The spectators could only see Arthur's only eye shine with a blue light and then his hand turn illusory, they couldn't see what he did or when he did it.

In a second, sixteen peak God Monarchs were killed without being able to resist. The ground under the sixteen bodies quickly turned jet black, pulling them inside.

”T-this…”

Cardinal Zeves, the old man leading the group, became speechless upon witnessing what just happened. Even an Overgod like himself wasn't able to see what happened.

He exchanged glances with the other elder accompanying him then jumped to the front. The woman who was previously talking with Delia also joined the two old men. She held a thick two-handed sword which caused a strong reaction from Makaze.

'A Divine Sword?'

'Definitely a Divine Sword! It's Eclipse, Reaver of the Flame.'

'Oh well… it matters not, all enemies shall be killed today.'

With Makaze in his hand, Lucy by his side, there's little chance they'll be defeated.

The woman holding the Divine Sword was hesitating as her mind was busy talking to Delia, who repeatedly told her not to act. Unfortunately, with the situation turning like this, she can't sit there and watch after sixteen of her comrades were slaughtered.

”You don't understand! You can't defeat him… not after he got his blade back! Please!”

The woman ignored the pleading Delia and glared at Arthur, not bothering to hide her rising killing intent. She was also a high-ranking individual from the Holy Dominion and it's her duty to apprehend or kill evil people, especially those who use malevolent powers.

The whole area behind Arthur and Lucy was divided into one of the darkness and one of Ice. Just like her husband, Lucy held Twilight's Vow, her enhanced saber and prepared to face the remaining enemies.

'I'll handle the woman, you get rid of the two old men.'

Arthur nodded his head and vanished from her side, appearing in front of the weaker old man, the one who was a Half-Overgod. Their cultivation was sealed so they can't demonstrate their real powers, nevertheless, they weren't pushovers either.

As he saw the enemy before him, the old man raised his hand, which emanated a blinding light. The light disappeared almost instantly as Arthur's free hand unleashed an ominous darkness that devoured the light. Makaze didn't lag behind as Arthur slashed at the old man, cleanly cutting off his left arm.

This was but a series of small yet deadly attacks, green lightning bolts entered the old man's bodies through the gaping hole in his shoulder.

Cardinal Zeves finished casting one of his superior spells, resulting in a being of light to materialize and leap at Arthur, whose attention was solely on the retreating old man.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

He used [Faster Than Movement], appearing behind the Half-Overgod and spat a large amount of lethal acid. The liquid which could melt everything in its landed on the back of the old man, causing him to shout from the excruciating pain.

Nonetheless, he was a person from the Holy Dominion and they especially excelled in Healing. A gentle golden light enveloped the old man, healing his heavy injuries. Unfortunately, before he could fully heal himself, his body froze while his expression turned inexplicably pale.

Just like that, he fell on the ground, unable to even understand how he died. Natural Lightning was swift and deadlier than any poison, it didn't take Arthur much effort to stealthily guide it to the victim's heart and burst it.

Cultivators will try to protect their Dantian before anything else, moreover, the old man never noticed the thin lightning bolts that invaded his body.

Now that he took care of the Half-Overgod, the remaining enemy was the Overgod, who isn't going to be easily killed.

On the other side, Lucy and the woman started their fierce fight. The woman never intended to attack Lucy but the latter charged at her and started relentlessly attacking.

There were many other Holy Knights still at the back but none of them dared to join the battle. The opponents were just too strong and they weren't tasked to fight but to set a formation.
