YM778.TV Chapter 261
The beak easily penetrated the black layer of defense created by the black-star strengthening technique . Blood gushed out unceasingly as the sharp beak of the Vermillion Bird got out from Arthur’s chest, creating a gory hole that sealed Arthur’s fate .
Apparently, the Vermillion Bird wasn’t finished after injuring him this heavily, it tried to open its beak and rip him to shreds .
With blood leaking out of his mouth and a pale face, Arthur held the long chains that were hiding under his sleeves and wrapped them around the beak of the bird . He exerted all his strength as he pulled chains upward, trying to force the opening of the beak as it’ll lead to his death .
While he was focusing on dealing with the beak, a black streak similar to a shooting star came from below . This was none other than Makaze which Arthur let go a short time ago . The blade was spinning with incredible speed as it was charging straight at the head of the Vermillion Bird .
Even with the chains around its beak, the Vermillion Bird was still trying to blast Arthur into pieces, it shook its head violently, trying to get rid of Arthur while at the same time trying to break the chains restraining its mouth .
’Let’s see if you can open it with this . . . [Mother Of All]!’
[Mother Of All]: The user can produce Golden threats, unbreakable yet soft .
Cost: 10 Mental Power per second .
Innumerable thin threads appeared from Arthur’s fingers, they softly floated around him then started wrapping around he beak . Even if one thread isn’t enough to do the job, a hundred thousand may be able to hold the beak for a couple of seconds . Just like that, Mental Power was being used continuously to conjure the golden threads that transformed the Vermillion Bird’s beak into a golden one, shining with a bright light .
Still shaking its head in an attempt to get rid of Arthur, the angry bird didn’t notice Makaze which finally reached its head, aiming exactly at its eye, trying to blind its vision .
Although Makaze had a somewhat sentient conscience, it was far from being an intelligent Spirit thus it didn’t know that the Divine Beast’s eyes are protected by a transparent layer that is almost impossible to break through .
Once Arthur was sure that the beak won’t open, he raised his hand toward the air and clenched his fist, it was a simple movement but it caused an ominous aura to appear out of nowhere, the air became turbulent and the space shattered on the spot .
In front of the Vermillion Bird, exactly directed at it, was a two hundred meters long Heavenly Arrow made from pure Dark Magic, it contained no hint of other attributes, it was a unique Heavenly Arrow specifically made to injure the Divine Beast .
Arthur took account of Lissandra’s advice and decided to focus on defeating them using his Dark Magic, from the previous reaction of the Vermillion Bird some time ago, he deduced that it felt a bit fearful of the Dark Magic, it was even a bit reluctant to face it head-on .
Fortunately, this Vermillion Bird was real since it could hurt him, although he discovered that the hard way, it’s reassuring to know that the Heavenly Arrow won’t hit empty space just like his previous try, where he wasted three [Blood for Blood] and a decent amount of Mental Power .
Using his other free hand, which took the form of a claw, Arthur slashed down the air as his hand let out a large darknet made from Demonic Lightning .
The net was huge in size, even bigger than the Heavenly Arrow, the purpose of this net was only to shatter whatever illusion was cast on him . The net only traveled a few meters before it spread widely in the air and caused a sound similar to shattering glass to resound all over the area .
Instead of using Dark Mana or Nether Energy, Arthur used Mental Power to conjure this Demonic Lightning, he wasn’t sure if a thick bolt of Demonic Lightning will work so he came out of this idea on the spot, fortunately, it worked marvelously lest he would have lost used three hundred Mental Power for nothing .
Gazing around him, Arthur saw the white tiger roaring angrily as it shook its body ferociously, countless small streaks of godly thunder could be seen twirling around his body . They resembled white snakes that tried to bite down every inch of its body .
Arthur saw no injury or blood leaking out of the golden claw that faced the sword from before, however, the claw no longer had the golden luster that emitted before which means his attack was effective, some way or another .
The Heavenly Arrow stood motionlessly in front of the Vermillion Bird, which grew alarmed and enraged, not only was its beak closed forcefully, a dark blade hit its eyes and despite suffering no damage from that hit and deflecting the blade easily, it still infuriated the proud Divine Beast .
Adding oil to the fire, the presence of the arrow that was pointed at it made the bird afraid as the Dark Magic being unleashed from the Heavenly Arrow is threatening to it .
[Heavenly Arrow] may not be the strongest attack in Arthur’s arsenal, however, it is quite effective due to the speed of the arrow and the short period of time it takes to be cast . The only downside is that it can be immediately detected while it is being created, which is why Arthur always uses a Spatial Tunnel before executing this skill to hide the arrow and only show it when it’s fully created and is ready to be thrown .
Waiting for the perfect angle for the arrow to hit, Arthur patiently waited as litters of blood fell down from the sky, dying the trees red, his face became as white as a sheet of paper, his complexions weren’t looking good, the only thing keeping him conscious and alive is his godly recovery ability and his immense Health pool .
The fight started around thirty-two seconds ago, he lost 70% of his Health, used [Blood for Blood] six times, permanently lost 780 Mental Power and suffered a serious injury in the chest, leaving him on the verge death, only a small thread of life separating him from the dead souls .
He slightly damaged the white tiger, did nothing to the motionless black turtle, caused slight interior damage to the Azure Dragon, and was stabbed from the back by the Vermillion Bird, which resisted his strong attack with a wave of its wings . Indeed . . . if this isn’t an impossible fight to win then I don’t know what is . . .
