Chapter 683 - 627: Dawn and Eraser (1/2)

While Lucy was busy destroying the robots that surrounded the group of cultivators, Arthur was transported inside Timos' world, which was that very peaceful forest devoid of any dangers.

He didn't willingly teleport, it was the Dark Blade's doing as it wanted to reunite with its partner as soon as possible. It is no longer dormant and could be said to be whole again and, as Timos said, if the blade wants to fight alongside Arthur, it'll naturally call for him when the time is right.

Unfortunately, Arthur wasn't the only one inside this miniature world. Two other presences immediately sensed Arthur's arrival and appeared beside his body within seconds.

They looked like two young human males, bright and short green hair and identical facial features, they were, without a doubt, twins.

They didn't wear any sect or clan-related clothes, just casual grey leather outfits.

The youth on the right was holding a one-handed sword with an orange hilt in his right hand, while the youth on the left gripped a one-handed sword with a white handle in his left hand. The sight from left to right was symmetrical, with the exception of the color of the blades. It was as if they were the same entity.

”Brother, isn't that Arthur?”

The youth raised his sword and pointed it at Arthur while asking his twin sibling.

”It is. It definitely is. What's a fortunate coincidence.”

The second youth grinned and replied, his hand rising into the air and a swirling white Sword Essence dancing around his body.

”Kill him! If he dies, the oath is lifted!”

A croaky voice came out of the sword with the orange handle. It spoke with clear malice as a burst of orange sword essence came out of its sharp tip and shot at the unconscious Arthur laying on the bushy ground.

The owner of the sword was momentarily startled but didn't do anything to stop the orange sword essence. However, to everyone's surprise, when it got closer to Arthur, it clashed with the black flames then disintegrated into nothingness. It couldn't even touch Arthur's clothes, much less kill him.

Even Lucy was unable to get close to her husband, much less these two twins.

”The blade is complete! You need to kill him right now!”

The sword with the white handle joined the conversation and harshly ordered the twins, which couldn't understand what was exactly happening but still did as told as they were aware that their swords would never do anything that harms them.

In fact, these two swords were two of the Nine Cursed Swords. The one with the orange handle was called Dawn, while the other sword was named 'Eraser'.

Without any hesitation, the twins jumped at Arthur, their bodies emitting a staggering amount of Sword Essence, specifically directed at the unresponsive Arthur.

The two were sword cultivators and were considered strong, especially when they combine their powers. When the cursed sword reached Arthur, they were able to push away the black flames, however, the moment they made contact with Arthur, the attackers felt as if they hit an unbreakable block of steel.

They applied a lot of strength in their stabs but the Cursed Swords were only able to cut the clothes… that's it.

Dumbfounded, the two leapt away and looked at Arthur then at swords.

”Attack again!” Roared Dawn, unwilling to let this opportunity slip.

”Use all of your powers!”-Dusk

The Twins' expressions turned serious as they held the one-handed swords vertically across their chests and amassed their sword essences.

In less than five seconds, the place was split into two sides, one filled with a blinding white light and the other with an orange radiance. Slowly but surely, the two sides fused as the twins leaned against each other's back then shot at Arthur, their swords held to the front in a stabbing motion.
