Chapter 629 - 574: MoonStar (2) (1/2)

Once he showed his true form, all Sol'khin cared about was to get the weakened Zodiak then deal with Arthur. As for Leiu's body, it was ignored and unaffected by anything around it. The broken armor and the bloody wounds were instantly gone the moment the invader left Leiu's consciousness.

The space next to the unconscious Leiu distorted and a mesmerizing woman with a very pale skin and a hair that reached her ankles made her appearance. She knelt next to the youth and briefly examined him before she put him over her shoulder. After one last glance at the fight occurring not far from her, Xyktia disappeared with Leiu, clearly not caring about what's happening on this place.

In just a few seconds, she entered the tower again, alone, and then left with the unconscious Leiu. She swiftly left the planet where the Red Tower was situated but even when in Stealth, her path was blocked by a tall man wearing a strange white costume.

Of course, she instantly recognized him and was forced to stop. The Lady of Darkness glared at the Joker but didn't dare force her way or provoke him.

Wolfram appeared next to her and checked his brother before pressing a black card on the youth's hand then retreating a few steps.

”Let this be our last meeting, assassin.”

After saying that with an unusually serious tone, he vanished into a puff of red smoke.

*******

”*cough* *cough*”

Arthur knelt on the ground and coughed a big mouthful of blood, his right arm and a large portion of his abdomen was gone, though it was self-regenerating. He's heavily injured and even his soul was injured by Sol'khin's attacks, which were very fast to dodge or even block. They were all the same and always strike both his physical body and his consciousness, rendering him unable to continuously block within the short period of time it takes the enemy to unleash the very same attack.

As for Zodiak, he took out his last black talisman and ripped it in half then put it on his chest, enveloping himself in dark flames yet again. To fight against Sol'khin, the old man even took out his Godspirit, which was a massive black and purple skull which emitted a lot of black fog and corrupted everything around it.

The floating skull acted on its own and was even able to block Sol'khin's attacks but still ends up being a bit to the back. Though Sol'khin remained consistent with his attacks, Zodiak soon realized that they were getting stronger and that his soul was being sucked by the savage aura embedded within these invisible blasts.

At some point, while Zodiak was blocking Sol'khin attacks, a crimson arrow came out from the red tear and headed straight at Arthur, who was still recovering and unable to move properly. He activated his eye ability and tried to stop time but it didn't seem to work on the incoming projectile, which boasted an insane speed and an overwhelming pressure.

Just as it was about to hit the parasite, it suddenly turned blue as it was instantly frozen then disintegrated into countless pieces, soon falling on the ground and vanishing. A graceful white figure descended from above and landed next to Arthur.

Seeing the long illusory white tail, the silver hair and the glowing blue eye, Arthur was surprised as Lucy was supposed to be elsewhere.
