Chapter 677 - 621: Instant Death (2/2)
If they initially knew a powerful beast inhabited this forest, no one would dare to trespass, not even Overgods. The woman hoped to get Arthur's help and get rid of her enemies but her decision will apparently cost her life and the others'.
”Mfmhg”
The man wrapped in vines tried to talk but all he let out were pitiful and incomprehensible groans. Slowly but surely, the vines were tightening around his body and breaking his bones. He tried to resist by erupting his energy and maximizing the efficiency of his technique but nothing worked.
He didn't know that the moment the vines made contact with his skin, Dark Magic invaded his body, infiltrated his Meridians, and started weakening him. His mental was also crumbling little by little.
The second Arthur was about to finish them off, he heard a familiar voice from behind.
”It's fine, just let them go.”
A graceful figure wearing a beautiful scarlet dress walked from behind the white tiger. She had long silver hair, her eyes, one crimson and the other sky-blue, making her look more mesmerizing, especially in the darkness of the night, she was like an otherworldly fairy.
Her sudden appearance captivated the woman and her group, which was mostly made of young people, with the exception of the Overgod, of course.
Delighted that Lucy managed to finish meditating and seemed to have gotten much stronger, Arthur didn't finish off the strangers and turned his whole attention to his wife.
The white tiger distorted before changing into a man wearing black leather clothes. A faint but noticeable cold aura was emanating from Lucy, proof that she fully merged with the ice phoenix' blood. Furthermore, through his special eye, Arthur could see a golden fire burning inside of the White Specter. This fire's aura wasn't as intense as her Yin, nevertheless, it still belonged to the Golden Crow.
”Why are you here?”
Although she told Arthur to spare him, Lucy never looked positively at the women sticking close to her husband, it's partially due to her over-protective nature and the way she easily and quickly gets jealous.
”S-senior!”
The woman bowed toward Lucy, somehow managing to control her fear and shock. The white tiger literally changed back into a human before her eyes, plus, the silver-haired woman looked no weaker than the man beside her.
”I, it's nothing! Please excuse our intrusion!”
The woman bowed again and began to retreat. The Overgods was also free of the vines, he deeply looked at Arthur then at Lucy before returning next to his group. He was an esteemed Overgods but lacked any kind of arrogance for he knew the difference between this mysterious couple and himself.
The others didn't know it but the way his body reacted… he was sure that the woman was an Exalted God, and a powerful one at that! Chills ran down his spines as he barely contained his emotions.
If they could get these two to help them, all their problems will be easily solved, however, it's never easy to gain the favor of such strong individuals, especially after you start at the wrong foot.
