Chapter 207
Chapter 207
Now that everything is done, more or less, Arthur headed to his next destination without stopping to bother with the fights occurring above him . Using the huge body of a bone shark, he drilled the earth and easily made his way towards the center of the tomb . Despite that this world is only a small-Realm, it is way bigger than Astria .
The concept of Realms and space has always been something mysterious and complicated as not everyone is able to comprehend their logic . A small pocket dimension can sometimes be bigger than a whole Middle-Realm, which usually is a mind-boggling landmass, it can be millions of time bigger than Earth or even Astria .
The more Arthur headed deeper into the lush forest, the fewer monsters he met . By now, he would only meet one or two every few hundred miles, which shows that these beasts are extremely strong and have their own territory . However, Arthur was not detected by them as he had his concealment skills activated . He could defeat them and even kill them but it would be a waste of time if he were to bother with them as it would hinder his preparation .
In fact, the tomb opens for a full week then the gates will open . Of course, this time is subject to change depending on how weak the formation that was used to open the gate is . For the last few days, the people will be focused on the central part of the tomb, where the good treasures are .
The main palace, which is situated at the center is full of all kinds of plants and artifacts, there is also the physique manual, which is what everyone is lusting for .
Although he had plenty of time, Arthur didn’t want to be reckless or do something unnecessary . He longed for neither treasures nor plants, he just wanted to possess that Spatial Master and hope it’s enough for him to gain the sufficient understanding of Space Attribute to travel to Earth .
The tomb world was like a circle where the palace is in the center, Arthur drilled the earth and headed for the center with astronomical speed whilst keeping his presence unnoticeable by the lurking beasts .
Since a while ago, Arthur started seeing one beast each few thousand miles and every single one of them is a Godly Beast . Such opponents are not as easy to deal with as Divine Beasts, which he can practically one-shot . He further lowered his presence and made almost no sound despite the large body of the shark .
As he was bypassing earth and dirt along with poisonous plants, the shark body suddenly halted and lifted its body above .
’Oh?’
Arthur sensed two particular presences, along with what the map was showing him, he was sure of who they are . The map, which is pretty beneficial, has one more loophole, or perhaps, advantage . It is that no matter where exactly the enemy is, as long as he is inside the perimeter of it, he will be shown on it . For example, if it is an enemy hundreds of miles underground or above the clouds, as long as it’s within the specified radius of the map, then it’s shown . Which is exactly why it showed Arthur the two presences despite him being a dozen or so miles underground .
The two humans his map caught sight of, were a young man followed by a girl . They seemed to be fighting a Godly Beast as Arthur noticed that there is turbulent Nether Energy coming from above and the area around him seemed to be slightly shaking from the battle .
With a hidden smirk that couldn’t be shown on the faceless head of the shark, Arthur took out the book of the Damned and summoned the Golem . Abiding by his wishes, the two instantly merged and the red-haired youth appeared inside the narrow cave that was created by the shark . The youth elegantly bowed towards Arthur and said
"It is a pleasure to see thou, master . "
Still inside the shark’s body, Arthur instructed the red-haired youth and immediately disappeared as the bone shark continued drilling through the earth as if it didn’t expect in the first place .
Even the youth was amazed as he stared at the large hole created by the pointy edge of the shark’s head, he still couldn’t believe how fast it was . It’s as if his master was teleported or absorbing the earth and not just drilling through .
With one final glance towards where his master headed, he sighed and transformed into a red light that headed above .
The two people Arthur was sensing were actually Kang Emily and Kang Kithel, the two kids of Kang Amitel . Arthur was not going to personally help them but since he could use the red-haired youth, then he decided to do so . His goals were already fixed, but it doesn’t hurt to create some friends as maybe they’ll be useful . Moreover, he was certain that with the power of the red-haired youth, it is more than enough to help them get out of this situation .
. . . . .
Very soon, the red-haired youth surfaced above ground but didn’t act immediately . He concealed himself and gazed at the sword-wielding youth who was battling a strange monster similar to a mantis . It was over three-meter in length and over two meters in width, it has two long and sharp hooks that could cut any person under the God Realm into pieces . However, Kithel was surprisingly able to handle himself well, apart from a few scratches on his clothes that didn’t injure him at all, he was totally unscathed . As for the mantis, it swung its hooks furiously, attempting to finish the foolish human who invaded its territory and wanted to steal its unhatched eggs .
The eggs of Godly Beasts are extremely rare and priceless as they would hatch and give birth to beasts with a high potential that could allow it to reach God Realm when it becomes an adult . Furthermore, if it is properly raised, it could fight alongside its master .
Despite the fact that his sister rejected his idea, he wanted to acquire them for her and hone his skills for a bit, which is why he was unhesitant about going all out against a Godly Beast .
Normally, it is impossible for a Divine being to face off against a God Beast or a God, however, with his almost flawless sword skills and his strong affinity with the water attribute, adding that to his unique physique, it has become possible to multiply his strength just barely to fight against someone or something beyond his current Realm .
’Master indeed has good eyes, this is a good seed, worth saving at least . . . . ’
As the red-haired youth calmly watched the show, Kithel dodged the incoming hooks of the mantis and used soft slashes that cut deep through the mantis’ body . He would slash two or three times then back off, which was a good tactic, however, his opponent was still a God Beast and not something that could be killed by such means .
At last, the mantis’ rage reached its peak which caused its hooks to grow to double their original size and turn completely purple, just like its blood .
This state occurs to every beast, whether under the God Realm or not, it happens if the beast is about to die or if it’s totally enraged . Sometimes the beast’s body change, and sometimes they just became several times stronger without any change to their exterior appearance .
Kithel cautiously backed off as his eyes were focused on the raging mantis, unfortunately, the mantis’ speed was out of his expectation, despite his amazing skill and fast reactions, he was unable to cope with its speed as it lunged itself at him and used its two hooks to cut him into four pieces .
With nowhere to run, Kithel activated his unique physique which resulted in his white skin turning even whiter, like snow, and an almost invisible fog surrounding him . With an excited smile showing on his handsome face, the youth thrust his sword at one of the hooks while unhesitantly using his other hand to perform a punch, meeting the other hooks head-on, unwavering by its sharpness or the vicious aura around the mantis .
The sword and the fist met the two hooks and an explosive clash occurred, creating turbulent winds and sending dust flying off the air . At the side of this empty field, which had no trees as most of them were cut by the hooks, stood a pretty girl who looked at the fight between the mantis and her brother with a worried face .
Her worry increased when Kithel was sent flying with a grievous wound on his shoulder, although it wasn’t fatal, it still needed to be tended . However, she managed to hold herself back as she caught the presence of an extra person who appeared out of nowhere . It was a red-haired youth with an expressionless face, he came out of the lush forest and headed towards her . She was both worried and tense at the same time as the mantis headed for her brother and she couldn’t defend him lest she exposes herself .
