Chapter 636 - 581: Shen Shen (1/2)
Faced with this Vyncent and the unfamiliar girl, Arthur was truly surprised as he never expected to the former here, in such a barren and tightly-guarded place. Strangely enough, he felt a sense a familiarity when he looked at the girl but he was certain he had never seen her in the past. When he used appraisal, the results were unexpected but confusing at the same time.
Shen Shen (Race: half-human/half-demon): Cultivation: none
Lv: none
Age : 8
Title: Lord of the Ocean / Water of Origin / Eternal Blue Soul Holder
Short Description : none
The titles were intriguing but her young age and the aura emanating from her body betrayed the results given by the appraisal. Even after Arthur activated his eye ability, the results didn't change, perplexing the parasite. He didn't dwell on the matter and shifted his attention back to the dumbstruck Vyncent.
”So? Why did you come here?”
In response, the young man gulped some saliva and muttered inaudible words before hesitantly saying: ”I, I don't know where we are. We landed here by accident.”
Arthur tried to read through him but his tone and expression were genuine.
”Who are you?!”
Unlike Vyncent, the girl was unwelcoming of the stranger, whose aura was cold and ominous, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. Arthur's Dark Magic leaks out of his body permanently, whether he likes it or not, however, a person needs to be extremely perceptive to feel it, especially when Arthur conceals himself.
Arthur sized this blue-haired girl, who wore a simple black dress and stood arrogantly before him. She didn't attack immediately as she could sense the difference in power but she didn't back down either. Her name was weird and the aura inside of her body made the parasite feel a slight pain in his hurt, but it remained inexplicable, sadly.
”Little lady, you should introduce yourself first.���
Arthur couldn't get angry at the young girl as he broke into a smile and took a few steps forward. Shen Shen raised her hand and released a formless pressure to push away Arthur but it did nothing to him.
”Hmpf! You look and feel evil!”
She coldly snorted and impolitely retorted, not even caring that her attack was pointless. It was at this time that Vyncent butted between them by saying:
”Arthur… how about you? Why are you here?”
The two weren't close to exchange secrets but they weren't strangers either. They helped each other in Riarravar, nevertheless, they can't be considered true friends.
”I'm going there.”
He pointed at the black structure dozens of kilometers away, not bothering to hide his intentions. From what the man in his 'dream' told him, Midolf and Radolf are imprisoned here and they're essential to reach the Garden of Words, a miraculous place which has all the answers in the multiverse. Any answer you seek, however impossible it is, you will find it there.
When he was with Wolfram and Leiu, they spoke of the Garden and how they attempted to reach it but their search was fruitless. It's not a place for everyone and the cost is not cheap, at least that's what the Nameless Knight said.
The Garden of Words is not a place created by the Twelve or the Watcher, in fact, no one knows how or when it came into existence. They just know it exists because there has been people who went there and obtained answers which shocked anyone and everyone.
”You want to go in there? Why?” Vyncent couldn't help but ask, his brows furrowing as he glanced at the massive black structure and the fences which were enveloped by white lightning.
”…” Arthur stared back at the young man but chose not to reply this time.
”Don't come closer or I will..”-Shen Shen
”You will what?” Retorted Arthur, raising his hand and using Telekinesis. It's not useful against powerful enemies but this rare Enigma ability, at his current stage, can even affect a peak God.
An overwhelming aura pressed down on the girl, causing her movement to slow down and her pupils to contract. Vyncent stepped to the front, shielding her and saying:
”Please don't mind her. She's still young and doesn't know how to interact with strangers.”
Arthur chuckled and retracted his power : ”I was just playing with her.”
He only applied a bit of pressure to scare her, it wasn't even enough to cause pain. Although she had no cultivation and Lv, the girl was oddly strong.
'I'm not imagining it, right?'
