Chapter 390 - The Last Resort
"She is trying to give me a hand?" he asked while trying to guess what she was planning.
'Ding! That's correct, she knows it's impossible to kill this monster before it self detonates. So, she is taking all the pillars she had and entrusting you with them.'
Arthur felt touched, yet a thought passed through his mind. "How did you know what she was going to do?"
'Ding! I didn't,' the system replied, 'Ding! I just guessed it.'
Arthur was speechless for a moment before the sounds of pillars appearing ceased. 'Ding! Don't be petrified like you are afraid or something. Go there and finish that damned parasite off!'
Arthur smiled while he flapped his wings wide and took his bow and arrows once more.
These sudden developments weren't in the expectations of Mr. E. he sensed the shift in energy inside that huge parasite body, and knew what Amanda was trying to do.
Yet when Arthur flew in the air once more, he was surprised! "This kid… how the hell did he manage to heal fast?" he wondered and then the scene of Arthur eating meat jumped into his mind. "Can this simple meat heal him? That's amazing!" he laughed while trying to keep the attacks constant with his pets.
The addition of Arthur to the fight gave birth to the higher form of soul attacks. The monster seemed struggling between all these attacks, yet it wasn't dying!
'Ding keep hitting the pillars and leave everything to these two,' the system noticed the anxiety swelling up inside Arthur, so he tried to reassure him.
"Can they stop it? Can they kill it in time?" he asked, and the system didn't answer right away.
"I knew it," Arthur sighed before thinking how to help in killing this monster.
'Ding! You don't know all the tricks these two masters have, right?'
Arthur knew his system had a point. "What if they couldn't?" yet he was still worried.
'Ding! Then there is a last option that I would rather not use.'
"Really? Last trick?"
'Ding! You can say that.'
Arthur felt his system wasn't bluffing, so he started to grow calmer. "Alright, I will trust you on this."
The system didn't answer while he kept firing the arrows everywhere. The new pillars Amanda added needed some time to be linked with his garden; time he used to activate all the other pillars for two rounds before aiming for the new ones.
Each one had five arrows to be activated, then after he completely activated them; he started to aim at all of the pillars, launching more waves of attacks.
And this time the monster seemed to be really under great pressure.
"Taste the wrath of me!" At this moment, Amanda suddenly shouted in great tone, while one hand held the scepter and the other was raised to the sky.
Arthur didn't know what was going on, yet the next minutes dark clouds gathered above her before she descended her hand, and thick tongues of thunder descended with it.
'Ding! See? I told you, these two aren't that easy!'
"You… are absolutely right!"
Arthur watched the showering attacks of thunder falling from the sky as he felt intimidated with these. If he was in the place of that monster, he was pretty sure nothing would shield him from this lightning.
And this wasn't the end of it!
"Hahaha, I won't let you have all the fun," Mr. E let the triangle to be hung in the air before taking a long and thick silver blue rod from his storage ring. The moment this rod appeared, Arthur felt tongues of thunder dancing around it.
'Ding! Water and thunder, both augment each other,' and the system explained as this rod had water based power which attracted some of the dissipating thunder from Amelia's attacks.
Mr. E pointed it towards the monster and the next moment the dark clouds over the sky rained. It wasn't normal rain, it was a flood, and while descending they carried more thunder towards the ground!
And then the place at the monster turned to be a dead zone for anyone!
'Ding! Keep firing, they are doing their best to trap it!'
"Trap? This isn't enough to kill it?"
'Ding! I told you, the killing strike will come from you, not them!'
"Well…" Arthur doubted what his system said, yet he didn't hesitate and kept firing his arrows. "How can I kill something the two of them couldn't?!" he asked the question that puzzled him.
He squeezed his mind more than once, and reached a conclusion! He had no way to help more than his arrows, garden, and pillars.
Away from these three; he had nothing else to be considered a lethal weapon to kill this monster with!
'Ding! Just keep firing and when time is ripe, I will inform you about your missed weapon.'
Arthur listened to his system and kept his hands busy all the time. What he cared most about was the fact his reserve of arrows was depleted by all these arrows launched to his the pillars.
"I hope they won't run out," he said to himself.
Yet after another hour of constant brutal fighting, the monster seemed not greatly affected by all this. Arthur was starting to lose hope, as his arrows were already on the verge of depletion.
As for the two masters of his, their attacks combined together for the past hour to devastate the monster. But in Arthur's opinion, these attacks were strong yet not enough to kill it!
'Ding! You are set to go, brace yourself and move towards it now!'
The words of his system finally came to make him more puzzled than before. "What do you mean by that? The monster is still alive and strong! How am I supposed to kill it?!! What difference will I make?!!!"
'Ding! You are going to know it soon enough,' the system said, 'Ding! Just go, the window you have is already small!'
"Tsk, speaking in riddles again," Arthur shook his head before he started moving.
