Chapter 692 - 636: The Mad Dog and the Angry Wolf (2) (1/2)
Bit by bit, Arthur was remembering past and forgotten things. Every image, every sensation was as vivid as it can get and it would last for a brief moment before disappearing, however, he ascertained his suspicions.
The silver-haired woman who was so affectionate to him and wasted no opportunity to show her love did indeed appear in those memories, which means that what she said, or, at least, part of it, was true, or so thought Arthur.
After 6th time, the parasite no longer experienced this strange occurrence so he decided to go back to Lucy and check on her. As he walking back with rapid steps to the open plaza, Arthur felt a suffocating pressure that alerted all his instincts.
All kinds of alarms were ringing inside of his head and before he could grasp the situation, a crimson silhouette flew into the sky, not towards him but at the plaza, where Lucy was.
The parasite also shot from the ground and tried to clash with the Headless Soldier but he was a slower than his target, nevertheless, when he approached the mythical being, it automatically changed its target to him.
One would expect precise and strong blows from the strongest mythical being but it was a far cry from that. The Headless Soldier was like a crazy dog, attacking relentlessly and blowing things up left and right.
Arthur blown up away with the first strike and when he managed to stabilize his body again, he was flung away yet again. His Health Pool decreased with every hit but he recovered it almost instantly and, when he was going to be struck for the third time, he was able to retaliate.
His fist enveloped by a green lightning, it clashed with the Soldier's sword, however, the result was no different than the rest. Arthur's body, like a kite, crashed into one of the building, crumbling it.
He coughed blood and struggled to get up but a rusty bloody sword penetrated his chest, impaling him. The Headless Soldier pulled out the sword and slashed again, cutting off Arthur's left arm.
Thanks to the Pain Immunity Passive, the parasite didn't feel pain but he was at death's door and even his crazy regeneration and Life Magic weren't quick enough to negate the massive damage he was suffering every second.
Feeling helpless and restrained, Arthur went all-out, using a Fire Rizaki and [Heavenly Arrow], which were unleashed three seconds after the second slash of the enemy.
He had only 20% Health left and his body was in a mess but, fortunately, the Rizaki blew up just in time. The golden city was overshadowed by dark red flames which dominated the skies and cascaded on the mythical being, blowing him up away from Arthur.
The Heavenly Arrow followed after the Rizaki, made from Void Magic and Lightning, it whistled and twirled in the air. The Headless Soldier tried dodging it but it followed him wherever he dashed and, in the end, he was forced to take it head-on.
Arthur vomited lots of blood then got up and used his right hand, which emitted a blinding white light which covered him and healed his injuries. His cut-off arm grew within ten seconds and his Health was recovered to full after half a minute but the Mental Power he used was not so easily restored.
Instead of flying at the opponent, Arthur wanted to return to the plaza and see if Lucy had woken up. They had more chance to survive if they gang up of the Headless Soldier, who Arthur didn't know and was confused on why he's attacking them.
