Chapter 468 - 418 : Devil (1/2)
”When I met you last time, I saw what you're like and I knew that you're deserving to be my brother's wife.”
As she heard that, Lucy frowned and asked:
”I thought it was the first time you've met us.”
The Joker burst out in laughter and retorted:
”Naaah I tricked you two. I already knew Arthur but it was the first time I saw the old you.”
He paused for a second before resuming the long story:
”It not long after we became brothers that we reached the underground city.”
Still standing behind the door, Angelina was listening to the narrating Joker and becoming more and more dumbfounded. To think that Arthur was the Joker's brother, if her mother were to hear of this, she would certainly flip out. In terms of status, Arthur is her son-in-law but also the brother of her teacher, which makes him someone she should treat with respect rather than kill him at their first meeting.

Fifteen days after the brother's brawl, the trio managed to reach the old church which became heavily fortified and surrounded by countless guards. This place seemed to be the territory of those dark-skinned creatures as Arthur and co haven't met a single Cthulhu ever since they arrived in White Raven.
”Do we slaughter our way through or?”-The Joker
”There's too many of them, we won't be able to hold on for long.”-Arthur
Leiu was about to suggest something only for a violent tremor to occur, startling the hiding trio. The red sky was split in two as an evil and suffocating aura spread to all directions. The ground under the church cracked and a large hand sprung from the underground, it used the surface to support the body coming from below and in the process, killed dozens of those dark-skinned creatures.
It didn't take long for a gigantic monster-like creature to appear before Arthur and his brothers. This being had dark skin and long white hair, it was carrying a blood-red bow and its pupils were golden like the sun.
The second it appeared on the surface, it immediately spotted the stealthy invaders as it turned its head towards them, staring at them with its golden eyes.
Having been discovered, the three jumped in front of the gigantic creatures, ready to fight, however, the creature was as sentient as its followers.
”I thought you've got rid of all those low-lives.”
It had a deep voice that resounded across the whole area, making its kneeling followers tremble with fear. One of them was different than the others, it was taller and had countless scars on its body. It was definitely their leader and the one who facilitated the summoning.
”My liege, please rest assured. We will get rid of them right now.”
It motioned for the kneeling creatures to apprehend the invaders and put them to rest but its actions were a bit late as Arthur, Wolfram, and Leiu already started their assault.
Each of them unleashed a devastating strike, killing many of the defenseless enemies. By the time they picked their weapons and were about to fight, more than a third of them were slaughtered.
In reality, the trio's goal was to eliminate the boss first so after getting rid of some of them, Arthur and Leiu leapt at the gigantic beings, each swinging down their weapon.
Makaze sent out a creepy jet black skull while Anduril unleashed a strike that split the very fabric of this world, causing the fragile space to shatter in pieces.
Alas, this 'Devil' was way stronger than any of their other opponents. It simply used its blood-red bow to block the two strikes, not even flinching when it was hit by their combined assault.
Just as it blocked their two strikes, a large chicken came flying from above and crashed into the Devil. Just as the two clashed, the chicken exploded, causing the target to take a few steps back.
By the time the dust cleared, countless Dark-skinned creatures appeared from underground, the surrounded their 'God' and raised their weapons.
