Chapter 518 - 464 : Commander (2/2)
The Cthulhu also sensed the change in weather and environment but, sadly, before they could react, the earth started to violently shake and the sky cracked.
All sound was cut off and the world was stripped of any source of light, enveloping it in total gloom. It was an explosion using compressed Dark Magic and as per the parasite's expectation, it was able to demolish everything in its way. Turning all the monsters into absolute emptiness, even the half-dead humans were killed, leaving literally nothing behind.
The base was built on a large crater, however, even this crater disappeared, leaving behind it a dangerous black fog, negating all light. Nothing was able to get past the black fog, not even the suffocating heat that dominated the whole world.
…
Inside this black fog, there was a tall, blurry silhouette, its body even bigger than the giants. Its eyes releasing a golden glow piercing the fog and attempting to locate the source of everything. It took the commander but a few breaths to find a lonely figure floating above the fog, its flickering green eye dancing in the empty socket.
Without hesitation, the commander retrieved a silvery bow from its back and pulled the metal strings. It raised its weapon, aimed at the parasite and pulled the string, releasing an arrow of light that dispersed all the fog in its way and whistled as it made its way toward its target.
Before it could hit the floating skeleton, the arrow bumped into a transparent barrier, stopping it for three seconds. Arthur raised his staff and pointed it at the arrow, resulting in countless bony spikes to surround the arrow and hit it.
Though it had monstrous force behind it, the arrow crumbled before all the spikes, dispersing into countless specks of light. Arthur banged his staff three times, sending ghostly silhouette at the commander, who fired three more arrows, each one stronger than the last.
The screeching ghost-like creatures passed through the arrows and emitted deafening and wild sound waves that pushed back the Cthulhu, then, they entered his body, causing it to shake for a few moments before a cluster of blood was spat by the surprisingly handsome commander.
As the fog cleared up, the appearance of the infamous commander could be seen. He had long silver hair, brown skin, and golden pupils, totally unfit to be called a Cthulhu or a barbaric, brainless monster.
”What are you?”
With a piercing glare, the commander readied his bow again and asked, using the common language used by the humans. Alas, he didn't get an answer from Arthur, who sent dozens of bone spikes at him while filling the sky with fiery vermilion flames.
The Cthulhu bent his back, pointed his weapon upwards and shot three arrows at once. They twirled around each other and clashed with the falling sea of fire, breaking it and splitting the sky. It wasn't the end of the arrows as they fell back down, ready to disintegrate the undead.
As for the bone spikes, the commander, while making use of flawless footwork, agilely most of them while deflecting the rest.
”You have no idea who you're messing with. This isn't a world for your kind.”
The commander roared and shot more arrows at Arthur. The parasite vanished, teleporting of few times and easily dodging the arrows.
”'Tis not a world for your crude race too.”-Arthur
”So you can talk, vermin!”
The battle grew fiercer as Arthur unleashed a torrent of spells, mostly Dark Magic. As for the commander, he kept bombarding the parasite with his arrows. The Cthulhu was incredibly fast and wasn't the least bit injured even after being hit by two detonators, six bone spikes, and thirteen lengthy Dark Spears. His skin was tougher than metal and his movements were unfit for a creature of his size.
