Chapter 616 - 561: The Elf and The Specter (2/2)
…
”Ha!”
Sickle Bart performed a deadly dance that emitted violent gales which forced both Ar'wen and Xyktia to retreat. He jumped on the black-haired woman, who stopped his sharp metal legs using a short black sword that she pulled from nowhere. As the two were busy clashing, Ar'wen retreated to a safe position then shot a big arrow of light that engulfed his two target, sending them all the way to the other carriage.
Each time he damages another contestant, he'll obtain points based on how many injuries his target suffered. His last arrow netted him a whopping 5 million points, which is enough to find quite a few miraculous items.
The elf turned around and was about to head to another carriage only for his legs to be frozen. His reaction was a second too late as a fast white shadow came from the side and kicked his abdomen, flinging him in the air.
He tightly held his bow and shot an arrow in the sky, which transformed into countless arrows of light that descended upon the assailant. Unfortunately, the arrows were stopped by a beautiful blooming ice lotus that was big enough to cover a third of the carriage they were on.
Lucy glanced around, making sure no one was present before attacking the archer again. She had no enmity against him but they were competing against each other so there was no reason not to attack a target when an opportunity arises. Arthur warned her about the people she should be wary off, nevertheless, she was strong enough to defend against anyone.
Nine lotuses danced around the White Specter, who grew an illusory whitetail and two horns that were actually beautiful to see. Two arrows that were fired god-knows-when, managed to bypass the ice lotuses and hit her but were split in half by an ear-piercing cry that she released.
Still in the specter form, Lucy flew at the incoming Ar'wen, her hand holding a fully-loaded silver revolver. She fired three times at the elf, who blocked her bullet using metallic arrows that were stronger and faster, surprisingly.
Usually, a gun is faster than a bow but it wasn't the case this time, sadly. Four of Lucy's lotuses were destroyed after blocking the metallic arrows, the other five shone with a white light then slowly bloomed, freezing the air and the ground, even the movement of the train slightly decreased.
[Absolute Zero]!
For a few moments, the whole world was frozen and the rapidly moving elf turned into a block of ice, no longer able to move or shoot arrows. Lucy's right arm became a bit bigger and covered in red scales, it released a lot of steam as it sucked all the energy in the air.
By the time Ar'wen broke free, Lucy appeared before him and attacked with the Devil's arm. She used the overgrown claws to slash at the target, sending him flying like a kite, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Just by that one strike, the elf looked very miserable as he covered the terrifying injury on his chest. He threw two pills in his mouth then swiftly retreated from the carriage but right before he disappeared from Lucy's sight, his back was shot by a dark bullet.
He was sure he was going to dodge it but his movement were slowed hence the result. Lucy's skills were efficient as they focused on slowing down the target, after all, she could freeze them or stop time, which is why her victory was guaranteed against Ar'wen, then again, it was all thanks to her surprise attack at the beginning.
…
On the 6th carriage, Arthur was fighting toe to toe with Amtir, also known as, King of Jade and ruler of the Jade Realm. More than his strength, this person is known for his wealth, which he acc.u.mulated for generations. Amtir an Exalted God that had the appearance of a middle-aged man despite his old age, he likes to flaunt his money and is not afraid to use it to get rid of any arising troubles.
This time around, it wasn't Arthur who was randomly attacked but his enemy, Amtir. It was a good opportunity for the parasite to gain points and if he manages to take down the king, he'll obtain all of his points but it was rather unlikely to defeat him now as there are many prying eyes, one of them being the annoying Losha, who's standing in the corner, her arms crossed while she calmly watched the two fight.
