Chapter 291 - Tina's Lousy Move
The combined attacks of the trio didn\'t take five minutes before the whole array was shattered.
It started from within the array; which was a higher fortified version of the usual arrays they faced so far, supported by many auxiliary arrays as well.
But all these efforts were doomed to fail! The energy consumption rate of the main deflective array exceeded its own capacity to control, so it started to break apart from the core.
It started like a birth of a new dawn, where only one single, hair breadth light shone amidst the darkness, extending to the whole horizon, reaching everywhere.
Then this was followed by much more light, creating a huge wave that extended from the shield towards the whole world.
Then another wave was formed, and another, appearing in a heart-beat like fashion, accelerating with each passing minute.
Despite all these signs of destruction, Arthur didn\'t stop attacking for even one second and didn\'t give the girls the order to. It was a decisive moment where any single mistake from his part would result in many regretful results.
Each wave passing through the world would smash some defensive arrays here and there. Those standing still after many waves showed many cracks on their surfaces, announcing the approach of their destruction.
Those who had their arrays destroyed were subjected directly to the waves. Mere humans couldn\'t sustain a couple of waves, popping up like corn on fire. Those who had turned into monsters were much stronger, managed to sustain many waves, and many of them tried to establish more defensive arrays, but all they did was blown away by the waves.
"Finally!" Arthur suddenly stopped attacking and muttered this with a sigh of relief. The girls also stopped their part, as the trio glanced at the birth of this new star, shining over the entire world with blinding light that extended outward in a move to sweep everything in its path!
This was the biggest and final wave of light!
And it was so mighty that its bright light lasted for one whole hour!
"I don\'t think we can even find their remains now," Arthur joked as he was in a very good mood.
"What a shame, I wanted to fight them for a bit!" Tina complained, per usual.
"The pillar?" Sara asked, expressing her concerns on the pillar from this mighty explosion.
"Don\'t worry, it won\'t be affected," Arthur said before turning his gaze trying to see the pillar amidst this shiny bright silver light that blocked the vision of anything inside it. "I hope it will be alright," he muttered softly as this attack really had gone beyond his expectations.
The light started to fade away –gradually –and this took another half an hour before the trio could see clearly to some degree the world outside the destroyed array.
"The array still stands?!" Sara muttered in shock, while Tina viciously smiled as she instantly moved, without saying a word, trying to directly penetrate and smash the array with her thick head!
"Wait!" Arthur just shouted trying to stop her, but he was late.
"Boom!"
The moment she hit the array, she was instantly thrown to the ground like a meteor. The sound of her body hitting the ground was so massive, making Arthur run hastily towards her place which was now covered in a large cloud of dust.
"that stupid lizard!" Sara was flying beside him while expressing her complaints. But her choice of words made Arthur turn to glance at her, giving her a scare as she hurriedly said: "A dragon, a nice and good looking dragon."
"Sigh!" Arthur didn\'t say a word as he jumped over the ground, landing on the edge of the place Tina just landed there.
"I\'m alright, don\'t worry, just a couple of scales destroyed, not a big deal," her slightly weak voice came from the dust veiled place like she was speaking from deep down. Arthur and Sara exchanged glances before he jumped over to the dust cloud, finding himself standing in the middle of a deep pit, with the body of Tina lying there filled with many wounds.
He flapped his wings and Sara just joined him. "This looks pretty bad," Sara muttered with a tinge of shocked tone in her words. "What caused this to her? She didn\'t use any sort of attack and that array should be long gone!"
Arthur just let his wings unfolded, to slide over the air descending slowly towards Tina as he explained:
"It isn\'t the deflective shield, it is a natural barrier caused by the energy exploded out of the array. She just pumped straight towards it, and the energy just responded. Sigh," he helplessly sighed before muttering, "it was really a good thing she did this while the energy was fading. If she pumped into that barrier earlier with the full throttle of energy, she might not be alive so far."
His tone was showing how much annoyed he was, but Sara side glanced at him thinking about another matter; he wasn\'t that much worried or showing any sign of grief over Tina! And she was the oldest to know him out of the two!
"I need to make sure he won\'t be this cold if I fell into trouble," she muttered to herself, as she decided to be more bold after this adventure ended. For her, she was a soul of an ancient human who lived her life to the fullest, and she didn\'t know that she was eyeing someone who was in the same shoes as her!
"Don\'t worry, I\'m fine," Tina arrogantly said when she noticed them coming silently towards her. She wasn\'t fine, as this hit was much worse than it looked.
But as Arthur said, it was a good fortune she just hit the barrier while the energy was fading. "Your body is full of wounds.. Can you move your wings?" he asked, as this was a very important thing he needed to make sure of.
