Chapter 396
The red-haired youth, Artid, and even Clara, were dumbfounded upon witnessing the fight above .
“Is that a White Tiger?”
“It appears to be so . ”
The two young men conversed with each other before Clara stated
“It’s not a Divine Beast . It doesn’t emit any divinity, quite the contrary, it seems evil . ”
Her eyes were glued on the large White Tiger .
Even the silver-haired woman that resembled Lucy and her butler left the restaurant, gazing at the tiger . The woman gazed at the tiger while remaining silent . As for the butler, he furrowed his brows while inwardly gasping
’What sorcery is this? It is becoming stronger by the second!’
Out of nowhere, two wings, larger than even the beast itself, sprung from its back . One was as beautiful and soothing as angel’s, as for the other, it was black and emitted a withering grey fog .
This, however, was but the beginning of the transformation . Loud thunderclaps came from the dark clouds, striking the white tiger and enveloping it in green thunder, except for its wings .
Then, the lightning could only be seen twirling around the big beast the usually majestic beast turned jet black as it was enveloped by ominous dark flames .
’Let’s see if you can match my speed . ’
The five pillars of light were like a prison, stopping him from leaving it while they attack him . Unfortunately, he didn’t care as his body disappeared from their sight before it rammed into one of the God Monarchs, sending him flying far away, leaving only a fountain of blood behind .
Those witnessing this from above could only see four God Monarch disappear from the sky in less than two seconds . Even the old man leading them was flabbergasted as he stared at this creepy tiger which was glaring at him .
The five pillars of light disappeared as he got rid of four yet the feeling he got from this old man was totally different .
The enemy stopped praying and took out a shield from his back while facing the tiger, which turned illusory then appeared behind him, slashing with its claws .
This wasn’t even teleportation, his speed was so fast that the enemy couldn’t even follow him . The old man raised the shield and successfully blocked the claws but he was still pushed two hundred meters and before he could stabilize his body, the tiger appeared before him again .
Acid was spat from its mouth, landing on the old man’s armor and shield, causing its to start melting, slowly but surely .
The elder’s face was paler than ever, even with his cultivation, he could do nothing but receive a beating from the tiger, or whatever it was .
As Arthur was going to hit the old man with his body, the latter took out a white pendant which shot out a beam of light . Unfortunately, before it could even hit him, it was stopped by a golden barrier that absorbed up to 80% of the incoming damage .
The remaining 20% were blocked by the following dark barrier . Although surprised again, the old man didn’t give up as he shot out an even larger beam only for it to suffer the same fate as the first .
The pendant showed signs of cracking after firing five times, none of them hitting the tiger . The old man raised his shield again to blocked the tiger only for the beast to suddenly appear behind him, its fangs impaling his precious armor and causing blood to ooze out .
The tiger violent shook the old man, which was stuck in its fangs before large quantities of acid landed on the leader of the holy knights, whose faces became transfigured . Nonetheless, he still managed to use some sort of a Holy skill to heal some of his heavy injuries then he slash with his sword, which emitted a dangerous light that forced Arthur to let go of his enemy .
As the old man cast a healing spell on himself, five thick pillars of light appeared a distance away from their fight, however, these pillars were different from the other ones .
After three seconds, blinding spheres of light flew from the horizon and entered the old man’s body . Upon seeing this, he knew that his comrades sacrificed themselves to do a ritual that strengthened him .
There are still three Sovereigns hiding, however, they were only tasked to watch as they aren’t strong enough to partake in this life-threatening battle .
Immense power surged inside the old man, who’s face returned to normal . His armor was fixed and his injured body fully recovered .
…
“Wanna try fighting it?”
Clara interjected as she smiled while saying those words . The two young men shook their heads while retorting
“I can’t even see it . ”
“It’ll be foolish to make a move . ”
The pink-haired girl shook her head as she inwardly mocked their cowardliness . To be honest, she wanted to join the fray and fight but it was apparent that it’s out of her league . Even someone like her couldn’t follow the tiger’s speed, it was just too fast!
…
The fight has been ongoing for a minute at most yet all the nearby powerful sects already arrived . Whether it’s the king of the Five Phoenix Kingdom or the Headmaster of the Holy Academy .
They were all at the peak of God Monarchs and showed clear intention of siding with the old man . A man with a long red hair and a long halberd in his hand appeared a few meters away from the old man . He nodded to the old man and faced the tiger .
A similarly kind-looking old man with a golden scepter was behind the leader of the Holy Knights . He waved his hand, causing a light to cover the two in front of him .
Arthur could sense that whatever the old man did, it increased their prowess, nonetheless, it didn’t matter .
“I’m ready!”
From within his consciousness, the Tri-Spirit confidently spoke . After Arthur gave it the green sign, the gravity around the three enemies suddenly changed, causing them to love balance .
This was followed by cracking space which freaked the old man at the back, who seemed to be the weaker of the three . From within the cracked space, a 10m long dark arrow appeared, impaling the old man and killing him instantly .
This shocked the two others, the red-haired man waved his halberd, causing flames to cover the sky and land on the tiger, who showed no reaction .
Although it was the phoenix’s fire, it was so weak that it wasn’t able to damage the strengthened Arthur .
Like a bolt of lightning, the tiger flew straight at the two enemies, who close to each other . The leader of the Holy Knight raised his shield, which greatly expanded, reaching 20m in height .
The tiger spat a strange grey orb which was no longer than 50 inches .
However, the moment it touched the shield, it devoured half of it, startling the old man, who let go of it and retreated .
As for the red-haired man, he stabbed with his halberd . A screech could be heard as orange flames twirled around his weapon .
The halberd was yet again blocked as it hit a golden barrier, barely cracking it . Though the barrier did break after a second, it was too late as dark chains sprung from nothingness and wrapped around the man, who was too late to retaliate .
Then, a looming darkness enveloped the panicking king, when the darkness disappeared, there were no signs of the man .
Seeing this, the red-haired youth watching from below, shouted hysterically
“FATHER!”
Unfortunately, his calls were too late as the man was killed so easily . In grief and anger, the youth was about to fly and kill the tiger only for the grey-robbed Artid to hold him back, warning him not to be reckless and get himself killed .
…
A distance away from the big fight, Wrath was accompanying Isadore, who was calm despite the huge commotion . They were on top of a certain building that belonged to their humongous castle .
“So it’s the white tiger but it’s different . ”
Wrath nodded his head and described what he’s saying
“Two wings, one white and the other black . Natural lightning around it and its body is jet black with dark flames enveloping it . Quite a weird sight . ”
After staring at it for a while, Wrath continued
“Though its speed is inexplicable . It’s only at the Sovereign Realm . ”
Isadore chuckled and said
“Take me there . It’s time to end this, fighting is prohibited in my city, whether it’s the Holy shitty Dominion or whatever . ”
He seemed uninterested and unafraid of the repercussion that’ll happen if he stops of the fight . However, in a way, he’s saving the old man .
…
The only one left alive was the old man, who still received a beating from the tiger . Arthur refrained from using any powerful skills like Rizaki or Dark Rain as there are too many eyes . Moreover, he didn’t switch bodies .
As he was about to finish the old man, an overwhelming pressure caused him to pause and back off .
It was sharp and dangerous . When he raised his head, he found a floating ship . On its deck, there were two figures, a middle-aged man with a slightly long dark hair accompanied by a handsome blond young man .
“Stop this at once, I shall not repeat my words . ”
Though he was but a mortal, his words carried indisputable authority . The old man flinched as he heard the crown prince, nevertheless, light energy started condensing around him, preparing to unleash his most powerful attack .
Isadore wasn’t able to see what’s happening but he wasn’t stupid . When he saw the old man ignore him, he signaled for Wrath to act . Unfortunately, before the grinning middle-aged man acted, the white tiger disappeared from their view .
Two seconds passed yet nothing happened, they only understood what happened when the old man crouched in mid-air and started coughing blood . No one but him knew that there was a damn rat that entered its body through a small hole that was caused by the acid .
The rat was merciless as it unleashed Dark Magic that consumed his accumulated Light Energy . Withering energy turned his organs and lungs into dust, his heart burst soon after, clearly caused by a thin, almost unnoticeable vibrating lightning bolt .
The old man’s body fell from the sky yet another inexplicable event occurred before the crowd’s eyes . The falling old man was enveloped by a medium-sized whirlpool, which was quickly sucked by the cracking space .
Even Wrath didn’t know how the tiger, or whatever it was, escaped from under his eyes . He helplessly shook his head to Isadore, who wasn’t that displeased .
After one last glance to where Arthur was, he said
“Let’s go back . There are a lot of things to do . Moreover, go inform Dan to not let a single person from the Holy Dominion step in my city!”
His tone was resolute and a bit angry . Though the Holy Dominion existed for a long time, they weren’t as old as his family . It’s not because they’re living in a medium-Realm that they should be underestimated .
