Chapter 267

Just as Arthur injured the Vermillion Bird, he heard a hysterical wail not far away from him, before he could turn to see what happened, he sensed great danger as a white streak similar to a white lightning came rushing at him . Before he could react, his body was already sent flying high-up in the sky, leaving only a fountain of blood as a trail .

The White Tiger felt great anger and humiliation as it was pushed a few time by the dark shadow Arthur summoned, the tattoos on its body shined with a golden light, increasing its strength and speed .

Arthur’s flying body was hit yet another time as the tiger wanted to release its anger on him . He looked pitiful as his body was hit multiple times without being able to retaliate, he could not even react as his Health decreased continuously and the injuries on his bodies multiplied .

The rampage of the White Tiger was only stopped when the dark blade Makaze came down from above, similar to a fallen dark star, it intercepted the sharp golden claws of the White Tiger and buying enough time for Arthur to stabilize his body and fly straight towards his weapon, holding Makaze tightly .

The Vermillion Bird couldn’t attack as it hastily healed its claws, the Azure Dragon was silently floating at a safe distance, creepingly glaring at Arthur .

Before he could resist the White Tiger, which relentlessly attacked and tried to pulverize him, his mind was attacked by a mysterious attack which brought with him unimaginable pain . As if countless needless stabbed his brain, rendering him unable to move, actually, he would have fallen unconscious if not for him strong willpower and the dark Talisman residing above his Dantian, which emitted ominous black light that travelled to his consciousness, easing the pain by a bit but not enough to allow him to fight .

The pain immunity skill allows him to not feel any kind of pain but this strange attack of the Azure Dragon was surprisingly effective as it made Arthur feel agonizing pain .

The intensity of the pain was similar to when his body was being created, any normal person wouldn’t be able to stay awake when faced with such agony .

Fortunately, Makaze was able to act by itself and spin vertically, creating an illusory black whirlpool that defended against the White Tiger . Although it only managed to block three slashes from the golden claws, it nevertheless it bought Arthur enough time to take control of his body and retreat hastily as his body transformed into green lightning, boosting his speed even further .

His clothes were soaked with blood, every corner of it was dyed with red, the stench was unbearable and the bleeding never ceased which caused Arthur’s body to become a bit sluggish . He only managed to evacuate from that location thanks to his Lightning Magic as he transformed into a yellow streak of lightning that retreated a few hundred miles .

Surprisingly, the White Tiger didn’t continue its attacks but flew next to the enormous black turtle, the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird also floated next to it, making Arthur feel extremely uneasy .

The black turtle never acted since the beginning, the only time it attacked was when it created that realistic illusion but apart from that, it passively remained at its original position .

Although he was confused and eery, Arthur still breathed a sigh of relief as he retrieved Healing Potion from his storage and gulped them unhesitantly, he even threw a couple of pills into his mouth, disregarding the small side-effects they may bring later-on .

These pills didn’t boost his strength, they merely increased the efficiency of his Mental Power recovery as well as Nether Energy, they were very expensive but Zodiak still possessed a decent amount so Arthur didn’t hold back in using them .

He glanced at the flaming dark blade and noticed a small crack on its edges, it was almost unnoticeable but having been with the blade for a long time, he could feel it was weakened and on the bridge of breaking, it goes without saying that unleashing the next wave is impossible, even using it to block more attacks would lead to its destruction, which is something he didn’t wish for .

As he ignored the desperate calling of the blade that still wanted to fight, Arthur stored the blade in his ring and cautiously gazed at the four Divine Beast .

The more time they remained motionless the better it is for him, he was heavily injured and each second is precious . The ugly wounds all over his bodies started healing and the blood stopped gushing out after merely ten seconds .

With his eyes locked onto the beast, Arthur was able to see a green energy was emitted from the black turtle, the energy enveloped the three Divine Beast until it covered them whole .

Under the astonished stare of Arthur, the bloodied Azure Dragon, the claws of the Vermillion Bird and the slightly burnt body of the White Tiger instantly healed, it didn’t even take two seconds before the three of them returned to normal, brimming with vitality as if they never have been injured in the first place .

With eyes filled with total disbelief and a pale face, he couldn’t believe such a thing was possible . If he had known, he wouldn’t let them return next to the turtle, even if it’s just hindering one from being healed it’s still better than having them all recover in the blink of an eye .

Arthur never anticipated that the turtle could do such a thing, the damage he inflicted on them is not something that could be recovered from easily, especially the fire that internally injured the Azure Dragon and the countless swords that stabbed its body .

’T-this is ridiculous!’

Sensing the suffocating aura of the four beasts as they glared at him, Arthur was certain that it wasn’t just an illusion but reality! The turtle not only could use high-ranked illusion but could instantaneously heal its comrades, adding to that its unpenetrable defense, how could he beat them if they’ll be able to recover like that?!

Seeing no way out and thinking about the situation he was in, there’s no way he could inflict the same wounds with his current state, his blade was weakened and showing signs of breaking, he was heavily injured, externally and internally .

He expended more than half of his Mental Power, 60% of his Nether Energy and already dropped two grades . A ruthless and savage glint flashed through his eyes, he took a deep breath and retrieved an exquisite looking box from his storage .

The box wasn’t big but it was apparent that it was forged used high-grade materials, there was a talisman on top of it that had the role of some sort of a lock .

He waved his hand, cutting the talisman in two and opened the box, revealing what’s inside it .

’I have no other choice but to use this . . . ah! Sorry, Lucy, I planned to gift it to you but I guess I have to use it first . ’
