Chapter 929 - A Brutal Fight Inside The Settlement
Arthur had two paths in front of him. He either should go back and wait for his forces to end their fight. Then he would dart towards capturing more settlements.
However he knew this path wouldn't make any sense at all. That dark angel mage would make sure his forces would be pretty occupied all the time.
Reinforcements were coming with no end towards each battlefield.
And thus he had only one path in front of him.
"That jerk… Does he take me for a push over or something?" Arthur couldn't help but laugh before pressing forward towards the nearest settlement.
He wasn't that poor in strength to begin with. He had many weapons under his disposal. For instance he still had the octopus monster, and also he had his immortals.
However his biggest weapon would still be his newly acquired ability. He could wipe out an endless number of foes with no struggle at all.
He would just lose some time in return, but at this point he didn't mind that.
'But isn't it better to wait for your forces to get freed?' Gege could read his mind but she still was anxious about such a fight.
'It's of no use,' the golden dragon said, 'that bastard won't let any of his forces free for the next coming days.'
'What's wrong about waiting for days then?' Gege still didn't like the idea of Arthur, 'it's much better than risking his life like this!'
'Ding! No, it's not,' the system answered, 'Ding! Who knows what that bastard might pull out during these days if Arthur didn't take his bait? We need to use our current advantage against him, instead of fighting against another variable we might not be able to handle.'
The words of the system silenced Gege and yet Arthur knew she wasn't convinced at all. She was deeply worried about him, and that simply touched his heart.
However, as the system said, he had no other choice here. He knew his opponent was quite a resourceful man. Giving time to such an enemy was a grave mistake.
Besides, he already has an advantage over his enemy regarding this plan. Crushing it to pieces would drive that mage crazy and force him to commit mistakes later on.
That was the kind of pressure Arthur sought to enforce upon that wicked enemy of his.
After all, no matter how smart or powerful one was, as long as he was pressured enough he would make grave mistakes every now and then.
"Let's get ready," Arthur got near the next settlement and saw everything peaceful from outside. However rhe was quite sure the moment he stepped inside, things would go south.
And he was totally right about that!
The moment he crossed the walls, a sudden turbulence occurred all over the settlement. He could clearly see the energy all around got stained with blackness, like the world was getting infested with a plaque.
"Oh, he is preparing quite a party for me this time," Arthur didn't feel threatened and instead he activated his technique.
Just as he did so, he was able to gather up the remaining white energy inside this settlement. It seemed like there was some kind of barrier standing between him and the world outside.
He couldn't take in any white energy from the world around. But he wasn't worried, after all he gathered enough white energy to form a thick pillar stretching out for a hundred meters around him.
And then portals appeared.
Large number of dark red portals popped out of nowhere. Arthur turned his eyes while calmly looking at the large number of mages and monsters flooding from these portals.
And then he moved.
"Slash!"
He simply used his sword to clash against these enemies. He knew his sworn enemy just miscalculated something here.
His power… wouldn't get depleted the more he used it. Instead it would grow thicker and stronger the more he fought.
And that was the simple and fatal mistake the dark angel mage fell in right here. That mage seemed to focus on numbers than quality, trying to wear Arthur down.
However instead of doing so, he gave Arthur the opportunity to expand his white pillar endlessly while slaying an endless number of enemies.
At some point, Arthur didn't even have to raise his sword and use his technique. His white pillar was simply doing everything for him.
It was like a purifying pillar which would exterminate any dark enemy without exception. Arthur only needed to fly around and move all over the place while his pillar did the rest.
Even those portals didn't stand his white energy at some point and started to show deep cracks all over their surfaces.
Arthur knew it wouldn't take much longer before all of them got smashed into pieces thanks to his power.
However the patience of that dark angel mage grew thin at this moment.
"I will kill you this time!" His sinister voice came from one portal before a large number of strong looking mages and monsters finally showed up.
"It's too loud to speak while staying on the other side of the portals," Arthur sneered before directly heading towards this new force, "why don't you show me your pretty face? C'mon, you will just get a backlash from betraying our deal."
"Humph, acting arrogant even in the face of death!"
Despite the strong words of that mage, Arthur was the one slaying his enemies using his powerful white pillar.
Some of them showed some resistance against his energy, but it wasn't enough to even reach him. His energy kept eating theirs away, depleting their power and finally leaving them as corpses falling on the ground.
And Arthur did nothing but fly around and make sure he would kill as many of them as possible.
However he knew that the enemy wouldn't let things end in such a way. Arthur was quite sure that the dark angel mage wouldn't hesitate to use his deadly weapon if he was going to lose this fight.
And even after sending in these elites, that dark angel mage was already losing this fight.
