Chapter 836 - Dealing With Monsters
"You are persistent!" Arthur was sent to fly out of this clash. He didn\'t stabilize himself in the first place before clashing again with that strange copy of him.
He didn\'t know the reason but the presence of that copy in such weird shape made him a bit startled. He didn\'t know what was going on here, but he knew he had to kill his copy to survive.
"Sorry for that," Arthur kept blocking the attacks of his copy while the sizzling sounds kept ringing all the time. "But I don\'t plan on playing with you for so long."
Arthur suddenly did something new. As he clashed and blocked the incoming attack of that clone, he didn\'t retreat as usual.
This time he advanced.
"Splash!"
His move came so sudden and broke the pattern of his. The copy didn\'t anticipate such a move and when he did, Arthur\'s phantom sword was already stabbed deeply inside his body.
And Arthur didn\'t stop there.
"Splash!"
With his other sword he cut one arm of that copy. Previously when that copy lost his weapon he couldn\'t vanish and move freely like before.
And this time Arthur decided to use the same trick, while cutting the arm and depriving the copy of its weapon.
Coincidently it was the spear once again.
"Roar!\'
The monster roared in pain as the next instant its body started to get purified from within. Arthur\'s sword was like the nemesis of this monster, and it wasn\'t a surprise for the monster to hurriedly retreat.
"Not letting you go this easily," and yet Arthur didn\'t give it the chance to run away or lose his sword.
He started his pursuit.
The monster kept roaring and retreating, but when it noticed Arthur\'s persistence it couldn\'t help but to attack Arthur with his other weapons.
"Great plan," Arthur had to take off his sword, "but I already anticipated this."
He didn\'t retreat, but he turned around the monster while evading the incoming attacks. His two swords started to either hack the body of the monster or cut the arms off.
In less than five minutes, and despite the relentless attacks of the monster, Arthur finally managed to cut all of its arms and even legs.
The giant monster fell on the ground like a lifeless doll while Arthur didn\'t hesitate to stab his phantom sword inside the monster\'s head.
"Finally..." Arthur watched the giant body of the monster getting surrounded by his white light before it slowly turned into specks of light. Arthur felt extremely exhausted from this stressful and unexpected fight.
However the next moment his white light area started to show a change.
Previously it kept boiling when he used his technique. However at the moment it started to swirl around him while getting condensed and smaller in size.
The area it receded from got filled instantly with the crimson red light from all around.
"Silver white? That means it\'s getting upgraded or what?"
Arthur watched his light area to get smaller and yet change in color to become silver white. At the same time he also noticed something else.
"The crimson red world is getting fainter... Does this mean I have to kill more monsters like these to purify this world?"
He suddenly got the idea from being here. He initially thought he had to gather up the light energy around him before clashing with the walls.
However he now realized it wasn\'t as simple as he initially thought before.
He had to face more enemies and fight deadly battles to be able to leave here.
"At least I will be able to leave here," he took a deep breath before moving his eyes to the unclear red sky, "I hope I won\'t be too late for that."
He was thinking about the outside battle. He was quite sure that Amera and Doaf would be doing their best to win this war.
However the only variable he was worrying about was that traitor!
He knew it would be impossible for the two to deal with him, especially when Jim was the leader of that sect.
"I hope Deem and Gor have everything under control."
He had many plans to deal with that traitor, all went into nothing the moment he was trapped here. His only hope now was that time running here would be much faster than the time running in the real world.
Or he might lose everything he worked so hard to get.
"No time to slack then," he took a couple of deep breaths before turning around and started another round of flying.
"I can consider this part of the wall is done for," he gave a last glance at the wall before turning around and started flying.
The once miles wide light zone turned into a few hundred meters silver white zone. What he noticed was that the speed of its expansion wasn\'t on par with the previous white light.
It was much slower, and that meant more work for him.
However he kept pushing himself to fly with his fastest speed all over the place. Even when his silver white area got on the same level as his white light from before, he didn\'t stop.
"So the monster won\'t appear until I touch the wall," he noticed that even after exceeding the limit from before, no monster appeared.
And that only meant he had to clash with the wall for the monster to come.
But he didn\'t hurry to do so. He was already exhausted and if he ran into a monster in such a state, he would have a suicidal wish.
And so he remained in his place while trying to rest and think about what he should do next.
"Should I keep expanding my silver white energy or what?" He contemplated this for a couple of hours while resting and regaining his strength.
"I should expand as much as I can first," he decided. He wanted to cleanse all the area around first before fighting any monster.
He didn\'t want to waste anymore time here.
However when he tried to do so, he faced a problem.
"Flying around with this energy seems impossible now!" The area covered with silver white light was so vast that a single mistake meant it would clash with part of the wall.
Despite his efforts not to, the silver white light got in touch with the wall at some point.
And then all he heard was a faint rumble before a new monster appeared.
"At least I can deal with you faster," he muttered this to himself as he considered his vast silver white light his helper here.
The wider this energy becomes, the faster he will be able to kill the monster. After all this light was higher than the previous one, and it covered a larger part of land.
So the monster couldn\'t hide at any place, or even stand at the wall without doing anything.
It would get attacked by his light nonetheless.
But before he could celebrate this, another rumble occurred, and a third one followed.
"Damn! Three monsters at the same time!! Isn\'t it… a bit too much?"
He was surprised to see two more monsters appearing all of sudden. They descended from the sky and landed over the wall.
And now he had to face three instead of one.
"It seems trying to take a shortcut that rebounds on me," he couldn\'t help but shake off his head while watching the three monsters move.
"So eager to fight I see," Arthur couldn\'t help but clench his two swords and brace himself for the upcoming hard fight.
At the same time, things outside didn\'t look that great either.
