Chapter 585 - 531: Absolution (1) (1/2)

”You have to be careful, Arthur, there are some powerful individuals who want to bury you in this tower.”

Zodiak looked at the man next to him, his expression containing genuine concern.

”Since when were you a person to worry about another's well being?”-Arthur

Zodiak switched the subject by saying: ”The Holy Dominion is stronger than it looks. You would think they gave up after suffering multiple defeats but that's definitely not the case. Even if they have to sacrifice one of their strongest warriors… as long as you're dead, it's worth it for them.”

Hearing this, Arthur frowned and questioned the old man:

”Just what sort of enmity do I have with them?”

”Enmity? There's no such thing. That's just how they are, never accepting things like Dark Magic, Demons…”

The old man let out a sigh before continuing: ”When I was publicly alive, they chased me but couldn't capture me because I didn't have any weaknesses. Family, friends, they'll use everything to get to you, which is why you have to end it once for all. For everyone's sake.”

”I don't why all of you have such a high opinion of me. I'm not going to wander around and massacre every one… I don't think I have enough power to do that.”

As he listened to grumpy Arthur, Zodiak heartily laughed, finding what Arthur said quite ironic considering what the parasite had done in the past.

”I'm not responsible for you or what happens in the future. The advice was given and it's up to you whether to accept it or ignore it.”

”Max! The gate is open, let's roll!”

The thief appeared behind the leader of the group and shouted with a deafening, causing the green-haired woman to violently smack him.

”I told you to stop doing that!”

While rubbing his aching head, the thief stood up, looking quite miserable.

”There's no end to them and we can't use potions!”

Though they were doing very well in eliminating the attacking Cthulhu, these players can't fight forever due to the restrictions put by the Red Tower. Fortunately, none were injured by the blast from the earlier meteor did push all six a distance away from their prior battle area.

”Leader, Rody is right, the strong ones are showing themselves. We won't be able to handle all of them.”

Tula calmly spoke, his blue eyes gazing at dozens of tall black-skinned monsters dashing towards them.

Almost all the contestants were heading toward the opened Sky Door, unwilling to spend more time than needed on this floor. Yes, each and every one of them was an expert, however, even after Lucy's attack, the number of Cthulhu didn't diminish. In fact, it seemed to have doubled or triple and the golden-eyes archers became much more numerous.

The unstoppable arrows hit the walls of the city, slowly crumbling it and killing many of the elven archers firing from the top. On the ground, the battle grew fiercer as dwarves and humans clashed with the Cthulhu, which were physically stronger than their counterparts.

”F.u.c.k.i.n.g cowards! Go ahead, I'll catch up.”
