Chapter 554 - The Array Round Of The Competition
"Humph," the lycan shook his head while adding, "in my clan, I\'m called the genius for my arrays. Let\'s see how you fare against my best creation."
"The same for you too," Arthur turned as he raised one finger in the air, "I\'ll be number one in this competition, and not even you can stop me from achieving that."
"Humph, we\'ll see."
The two started the round so intense from the start with this declaration. Arthur was hesitant about doing his big array, but if things reached such a state he had to use it now.
"Let\'s start then," the lead master seemed quite excited as he was slightly confident in the win of the lycans in this round.
Arthur\'s first thing to do was to wave his hand and summon his monsters. Just as he did so, he noticed the other lycan was doing the same, but he brought higher forms of monsters to the arena.
"Oh, you are trying to make the same thing," Arthur muttered but he noticed the lycan only summoned two monsters not four like him. "lesser than me, but their grades are higher," Arthur felt the challenge which made him contemplate on how to upgrade the old recipe into a higher one.
\'How can I advance it?\' he muttered before thinking about using his three energies as well.
\'This won\'t help much,\' the golden dragon sighed, \'he is using much better monsters.\'
\'I can give a hand for you here,\' Gege suddenly said, \'there are some bones of the Golam left, but can you handle them?\'
Arthur was hesitant for a moment before sighing, \'at least these bones are much stronger than his. Bring them over and take the monster away.\'
\'Ding! I think you should leave them here.\'
\'What do you mean?\'
\'He wants to dilute the higher energy of the Golam by using lower monsters… it\'s a nice idea indeed but still the Golam is still too much for you to handle.\'
\'At least I won\'t die of this,\' Arthur bitterly smiled, \'Alright send the bones over.\'
\'How many do you want?\' Gege suddenly asked, \'and how size are you looking for?\'
Arthur waited for a moment as he thought about the process of making the array. \'Bring me twelve similar bones, choose the shortest and thinnest please.\'
\'Alright.\'
Arthur had a vision in his mind that he wanted to test out. But the next instant twelve long and gigantic pieces of bones appeared like huge pillars around him.
\'This…\' he was startled, \'didn\'t I ask for the shortest ones?\'
\'These are the shortest,\' Gege laughed, \'or do you want me to bring the big ones instead?\'
\'…\'
Arthur had his scalp numb just from seeing these bones. \'Damn, this is going to be tough,\' he shook his head while the moment he brought these bones the lead lycan stopped what he was doing.
"How come you have such high grade bones?" the lycan shouted in shock, "he is cheating! No way such bones will be in possession of someone in low planes!"
"Good question," the dean was the one to speak while moving his gaze up to the towers, "may I ask for directions from venerale masters?" he turned his gaze instantly towards the towers.
And the lycans didn\'t hesitate to send their envoy towards the ground. "What\'s your reason for this?" Dolan sneered as his face told everything he was up to. "Which one of the other towers helped you with this?"
Arthur bitterly smiled as he pointed towards the bones and said: "I hunted it myself."
"Liar!" Ralin hurriedly appeared beside Dolan before the other envoys appeared as well. "There is no such monster in the lower planes, that\'s impossible."
"Yeah I know that," Arthur acknowledged this simple fact under the curious gazes of others, "but this monster was the guardian of a big dark clan, a clan I once destroyed their main army on the walls of my city."
"Lies," Dolan sneered, "all are lies and baseless claims. What evidence do you have on your words? Huh? Do you have such loyalty to the tower which cheated and gave you such bones?"
Dolan pointed his finger towards the other four envoys who simply sneered as Antony said in arrogance:
"Stop acting like a fool or else I wouldn\'t mind teaching you a lesson here."
"Humph," Dolan sneered as he turned his gaze towards Arthur, "It\'s best for you to tell who helped you or else the consequences won\'t stop at simply losing the competition."
Arthur waved his hand and the next instant a big drop of unpurified Golam\'s blood appeared in the air to fill it with its filthy smell. "And what do you say about this one? Did they also gave me the blood as well?"
They all glanced at the big green drop while Reem sneered. "My master is waiting for a direct apology of yours," she said that before nodding to Arthur. "Never thought you can pull something like this… amazing for such a kid from a low world."
"I\'m not a kid," he teased her with a wink that only got a faint smile from her beautiful face.
"This isn\'t over," Dolan shouted but no one gave him any heed. Only Sam sighed before saying, "If your master has any objection he can go to my master and speak with him face to face. My master won\'t tolerate such impudence coming from mere henchmen of other masters."
Dolan stood with Ralin all alone as everyone else vanished. Arthur only sneered and then he took the blood away before turning towards the twelve huge bones of the Golam.
"Stop there, you aren\'t allowed to continue!" Ralin shouted in rage.
"Said who?" Arthur turned to glance with defiance to the two enemies of his, "the other four masters didn\'t agree on your objection. Didn\'t you hear what Sam just said? Or do you want me to repeat his own words in the letter again?"
Arthur gave a soft laugh before shaking his head and heading towards the bones. "Your girls will suffer… I can promise you that," Dolan threatened before vanishing and Arthur simply sneered.
