Chapter 221 <hr> Staring at the hardly injured Arthur and the sheer quantity of Nether Energy being absorbed by him, the alertness the Sovereign was feeling intensified . Every time they hunted a Dark Magic, never had been a case like this because usually, these targets could only use Dark Magic which is vulnerable against the Holy Attribute . 'We must inform the Echelon about this!' The old man was smart enough to change his priorities from capturing or killing Arthur to informing the higher-ups of this strange case, if they do not about such danger then with enough time to grow up, this target can cause them big troubles, and this is proved by an ancient story where a Dark Magic user almost annihilated the whole Holy Echelon by himself . Although the old man joined the fray, Arthur was neither going to focus him nor defend against him, such feats are not easily feasible unless he puts all his attention on the old man and disregards the two women . These two women were frightened by the sudden death of their comrades but they didn't lose hope as the old man was still with them and with his help, victory is in their sight . <hr> The two stretched their large white wings, flapping them heavily to disperse the Dark Flames scattered near them . Arthur wasn't going to wait for them to wait until they feel comfortable or chat with the curious old man, he held Makaze in his right hand and slapped a white talisman on the ground . Since the old man surely sensed that something was off, he decided to use more diverse skills but not show the powerful ones like the Heavenly Arrow, Rinotsu or even Rizaki, these are needed in critical times, when he was sure that his attack will deal a fatal blow . Arthur's body transformed into a yellow streak of lightning that went straight toward the two women, all they could see was a yellow sparkle before he was before them . Their speed may not match his, however, they were not inexperienced fighters, they were Peak Gods for a reason . The two white spears swept towards each other, making an 'X' sign to deflect the incoming streak of lightning but again, the streak vanished from their sight only to appear behind the two of them, dumbfounding them and forcing the old man to act again . Contrary to before, it wasn't an open palm that struck Arthur but a mighty fist, his figure heavily crashed on the ground with the fist of light pressing it, wanting to crush his bones and disabling his movements . "You're not his match, quickly leave this place and go inform the echelon . I'll keep him occupied . " The old man ordered the two as he kept pressing his fist on Arthur's body, however, as a certain point, the body dispersed into a grey miasma that vanished into nothingness very quickly . "Not good, get out of there!" Unfortunately for the two women, by the time they heard their superior's warning, it was too late . Arthur had been using the clone conjured from the Shadow Magic since the moment he used [Faster Than Death] when he was closing up on the two women . He changed the tactic a bit, sneaking around under the earth and making perfect use of the dark cube and its properties . The two women raised their spears and used their wings to protect their bodies but what they didn't expect is countless dark and ominous chains to abruptly surface from the earth . One of the two was quicker than her comrade, she used the snake conjured in her spear to push her friend from the grasp of the chains, as for herself, it was too late as the thick chains enveloped both her lower limbs . Such chains are breakable given enough seconds but that amount of time was more than enough for Arthur to finish the job . Countless Dark Spears appeared from all the walls of the dark cube, going directly at the trapped weapon, the numbers were of spears were endless, even if the wings, which was protecting her from the penetrative force of the Dark Magic could resist one thousand spears, it can't resist ten thousand . Moreover, Arthur wasn't going to sit idly and wait for results either . He knew that the old man was trying to locate him and if he surfaces right now then he would be exposed, the only reason he wasn't found was thanks to the dark cube's interior space . It was completely made of Dark Magic, so was Arthur right now, which made him blend with this space and pass undetected by the Sovereign . Within only five seconds, the Holy Wings showed signs of dispersing, this was apparent from the countless small holes of light formed from the Dark Spears which unceasingly hit the terrified woman . By no means did she expect to be driven to such a poor state by merely a Dark Magic User at the Peak of the Divine Realm . No matter how talented the target is and how trump cards he has, he should never be this strong, even the old man was aware of that which is why urgent urged them to leave the dark cube lest they miserably perish in such a gloomy and ominous place . The old man ignored the suffering woman who was being bombarded by the Dark Spears and focused all his Nether Energy in his finger, which shot out a thin beam of light that hit the dark cube's wall, causing it to shake heavily then creating a small opening, barely enough for the woman to escape . At first, when she saw her friend in danger, she wanted to help, however, upon the orders of the old man, she had no choice but quickly to leave, afraid that Arthur appears out of nowhere again and attacks her, she was overcome with helplessness that a God like her never felt and she felt incomparably weak against this strange entity, which overpowered three Peak Gods with only a cultivation at the Peak of the Divine Realm . Arthur also noticed the opening and was forced to act fast, his dark flaming figure surfaced from the ground, right behind the woman, who left the dark cube at last but only managed to cross a small distance . The old man was preoccupied with opening in the dark cube but when his underling left, he shifted his attention to Arthur, who appeared out of nowhere again, making him wonder what kind of technique is this, as even Spatial Teleportation could be detected by a Sovereign like him but for some reason, he couldn't predict when or where he would teleport to, or how the technique even works . Arthur bent his back onward, with Makaze in his sheath, vibrating intensely, ready to burst out of its sheath and unleash a powerful blow . He shifted his use to Mana to let his Nether Energy recover and unhesitatingly used [Thousand Waves], his strongest sword-related skill . His target was obviously the fleeing woman as he could not afford to let any witness escape alive, especially one of these people, as the more information they got on him, the worse it is for him as they would send stronger reinforcement and may even attack his friends or family .
