Chapter 429: 429
After a short while, the couple readied themselves for the upcoming battle . The formation was set, both were armed with dozens of talismans and Arthur already started contaminating the air with formless poison .
His right hand was emanating a large amount of Death Energy which merged with the poison . No matter the means, they must weaken the old man then kill him .
Since he wants to bring her home, he won’t try to kill her but the same couldn’t be said to Arthur . The multi-colored wheel strangely engraved on the ground was pulsating with various colors while the black arrow was slowly rotating .
It didn’t take much time for the butler to catch up . When he arrived, he noticed the large circle and felt the Death Energy coupled with the poison . Nevertheless, he bravely entered inside the formation and was greeted by his targets .
A silver-haired woman who was holding a thin white saber and a scarred man grasping a dangerous black blade which was vibrating from excitement .
The old man completely ignored Arthur and gazed at Lucy while saying
“Eva, it’s futile to fight back . Go back with me . ”
All he got in response was a cold snort from her .
“Your mother never ceased looking for you . I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you come back . ”
“The concept of parents if foreign to me and I wish not to meet this ’mother’ of mine so why don’t you go back and tell her that?”
Hearing her cold and threatening tone, the butler frowned and was unable to understand for her current behavior .
“For now, go back with me and meet your mother . If you don’t want to stay there, you can always leave . ”
Arthur chuckled and retorted:
“I bet you’ll lock her up the moment she’s there . The possibility of an arranged marriage is not unlikely either . ”
The old man’s expression turned ugly as he listened to this strange grey-haired man .
“So this is whom you picked as your ’husband’? A monster and a dark magic user . ”
Unfortunately, the moment the old man uttered those words, Lucy was already in front of him, her saber stabbing his throat .
In retaliation, the old man raised his hand, ready to grab the thin saber only for it to vanish . Lucy let go of the saber and heavily punched the old man in his chest, causing him to stagger a few steps . This, however, was the beginning as six lotuses appeared above her head, they immediately bloomed, freezing the whole area and immobilizing the butler’s feet .
Arthur followed right after as a burst of Dark Magic struck the immobile old man . The dark blade whistled as it was horizontally slashed at the target, planning to behead him .
For the first time in a long time, Makaze was met with resistance . A metallic sound could be heard as Evil Wind clashed with another sword .
The old man took out his weapon, a one-handed purple sword . Despite his high cultivation and the Celestial Body, the old man was unable to fully block Makaze, which was slowly pushing him .
The joint attack of the couple only began as Lucy joined the grey again, appearing behind the old man and viciously kicking his defenseless back .
The kick was so strong that it caused the old man’s body to tremble . Some blood leaked out of his lips as she didn’t hold back her Strength .
Such a basic attack wouldn’t have worked were he not inside the Secret Realm, which restricted his cultivation, nevertheless, it wasn’t a heavy injury so the butler was able to quickly stabilize his shaking body and receive Arthur’s next strike .
A large and creepy black skull flew straight at the old man, who swung down his purple sword, causing a mysterious gentle energy to cut the skull in two .
The old man then jumped to the back, trying to dodge a burst of Golden Crow fire, which fell from the sky, ready to incinerate him .
When he thought he dodged it, the weird colorful wheel under him started acting up . The dark arrow that was slowly spinning stopped on the red color, causing the descending golden flames to transform into a gigantic illusory crow which clashed with the old man .
Just as the old man prepared himself to block the golden crow, the black arrow abruptly shifted from the red to the white color .
A deafening thunderclap reverberated across the whole region, startling the old man . The thunder bolt was thicker than the bolt, who was unable to react in time . It descended on him and stunned him while dealing massive damage .
The illusory golden crow was met with no resistance as it heavily crashed into the old man, causing golden flames to cover him .
The butler wasn’t fazed as the gentle energy from before caused the golden flames to quickly disperse but not before a bloody wound appeared on his left shoulder . His body was emanating steam due to the flames and thunder, he spat some blood while glaring at Arthur then at the wheel under his feet .
For the first time since the fight started, the old man attacked instead of simply defending himself . His figure vanished and appeared in front of Arthur, who was slashed by the purple sword .
Sadly, the purple sword his nothing but a black mist which dispersed soon after . The old man, who was startled by what just happened, sensed imminent danger and stabbed his sword to the left .
The tip of the purple sword hit a dark shadow that, upon a closer look, was a damned rat! A dangerous violet energy was emanating from the rat, shocking the butler to the core .
A very miniscule part of his purple sword seemed to have been devoured .
’Void Magic?’
His suspicions were ascertained as countless creepy purple mouths assaulted him from above . Unwilling to get hit by them, the old man attempted to retreat only for thick black chains to appear from the ground, wrapping around his legs .
The old man let a out a soft sigh as he raised his sword to the sky . Arthur, who was about to grasp this opportunity to penetrate the old man’s body and finish him, suddenly teleported away as he felt a dangerous aura emanate from the old man .
A large illusory object appeared above the old man, it had the same energy as his sword, gentle yet incredibly deadly .
The Godspirit finally appeared but the second it appeared, an explosive gunshot could be heard from not far away . It was a 1st-grade purple bullet, its grade was low but it was purely made from Void Magic .
The bullet struck illusory purple flower, which was the butler’s Godspirit . The moment it approached the flower, the bullet transformed into a literal mini-black hole which started sucking the flower .
An expression of utter disbelief plastered itself on the old man’s face . The more he fought the couple, the more surprised he gets .
Everything he just witnessed must be recounted to his master, Lucy’s mother . From Void Magic, Yin Power, Golden Crow flames, Dark Magic and many other things .
The purple flower emitted a blinding light and one of its petals fell down, transforming into a purple sword which flew straight at the black hole, stabbing it .
Although it wasn’t able to destroy it, it still caused the black hole to become smaller in size . The sky already shattered like glass and the ground only remained unscathed due to the presence of the formation, which was sturdier than it may look .
In order to fully get rid of the old man’s God Spirit, Lucy also summoned hers, which was a gigantic blue lotus . As if a mountain hit it, the flower was suppressed by the slowly-blooming lotus . A third of the formation, as well as half of the purple flower, were frozen by the God Spirit .
The butler gritted his teeth and summoned back his God Spirit, fusing it with it and strengthening himself . A layer of purple aura covered the old man’s skin, healing all of his injuries and increasing his pressure .
Just as he was about to act, he found himself trapped in a world of darkness, unable to see, feel or hear a thing .
Unlike other entrapped people, the old man was able to forcefully leave this strange world, startling Arthur, who was preparing his attack .
Lucy was a step faster than her husband as several flaming boulders fell from the sky . They had cores made from magma and golden crow fire covered these big rocks .
[Meteor Shower] was an extremely powerful skill that combined three attributes, something not many people could do .
…
A few kilometers away from the Arthur, Lucy, and the battler, there was a lone figure gazing at the gigantic blue lotus and the purple flower which vanished all of a sudden .
She had a long dark hair and an expressionless face . The girl silently watched the battle while slightly fidgeting .
Jian Si previously escaped the area before Arthur started his fight with the Holy Dominion . It was only through a fluke did she spot the butler so she followed him .
Never did she believe that a fight would occur here . She raised her head and stared at the falling meteors, which robbed the light of the illuminating sun, covering it and casting a shadow on the ground, just like an eclipse .
When these boulders finally hit their target, the ground under feet violently shook before it began cracking, causing her to switch location .
She could feel the heat of those golden flames even from this distance, causing her to shiver . There was a time when she wanted to fight Lucy, just thinking about that made her soak with cold sweat .
