Chapter 271

The hundred Heavenly Arrows fell on the barrier, bombarding it and causing large cracks despite the appearance of the new golden mantra, which strengthened the barrier .

Arthur noticed the shadow of the White Tiger, which was hiding below the barrier, protected from the arrows which were aimed at the barrier above it .

He didn’t know what happened but from the looks of it, the tiger looked healthy and didn’t have any injuries on it as if it was never killed .

He was sure that it was dead earlier, there’s no way it could have survived . Even if it survived by some miracle, the map would have shown it to him or he would at least had felt its presence but there was no such thing .

Arthur didn’t have time to speculate on what happened, he focused his attention on his skill and kept directing the falling arrows, trying to focus on one location so the damage could be multiplied .

It didn’t take much time for the barrier to shatter into countless pieces, the remaining thirty or so arrows changed their target to the Vermillion Bird .

Twenty-five Dark Heavenly Arrows went for the bird and the remaining five flew at the black turtle, which couldn’t resist as its body was weakened due to the destruction of its barrier .

The Vermillion Bird waved its remaining wing at it conjured waves of orange flames that tried to fend off against the incoming arrows .

Unfortunately, only three arrows were stopped and the rest ruthlessly penetrated its body, causing huge amounts of Dark Magic to enter its body and paralyze it while the destructive effect of the arrow did its job fairly and obliterated more than half its body .

Litters of blood gushed out from the bird which reached death’s door, even with its decent recovery there’s no way it can’t escape unscathed unless the turtle personally acted .

The turtle couldn’t heal its comrade since four arrows hit only one scale of its shell and destroyed it, the remaining arrow stabbed the new apparent wound and penetrated its skin . Arthur only wanted a bit of his Dark Magic to invade the Divine Beast, as long as enough time passed, the turtle would surely be extremely weakened and no longer be able to fight .

After launching such a mentally exhausting skill, Arthur was unable to directly finish off the dying bird, especially after the damned White Tiger butted in and charged at him .

Like a white streak of lightning, the tiger crossed the distance separating them in just a second, it tried to slash Arthur with its claws which were elongated but they only hit his condensed Dark Barrier .

The barrier only resisted the claws for a split second before it shattered, Arthur shakily took his shield and used his threads to bind it to his arm as he doubted he had the strength to properly use it .

He felt his body become heavy and lifting the shield became a hard thing to do . He activated the powerful defensive skill of the female druid he killed and readied himself to meet the golden claws, which ripped the air and everything in its way .

He clenched his bloodied teeth and mustered his strength as the impact occurred . The half-broken shield clashed with the claws which resulted in a loud ripping sound . The claws first disintegrated the huge black shield then broke the chains around it and when they were about to rip Arthur into pieces, the air around him started blurring .

Similar to a water surface, the claws hit that area and started becoming slower until they stopped mid-air . Arthur knew that this won’t last forever so he activated [Faster Than Death] and teleported away from the Divine Beast, which growled in anger and pushed the watery surface, shattering it and diving straight at Arthur again .

’Tsk!’

Arthur clicked his tongue as he saw the white shadow flying at him, a golden light was emitting from that shadow as if it was preparing a strong attack, incomparable to the previous one .

After a few seconds passed since he cast [Dark Rain], a bit of clarity returned to his burdened mind, this allowed him to freely cast powerful skills again but at this pace, he’ll only be able to defend four or five times before falling .

As the white shadow of the tiger was approaching, Arthur clenched his fist then released it at the incoming foe . Several large detonators appeared around him, they randomly flew at the tiger and exploded mid-way .

Arthur wasn’t done yet, a dark spear appeared in his hand, it was just a normal one conjured from Dark Magic . His eyes shined with a blue light as he focused his attention on the white tiger which was approaching him with extreme speed .

The various explosions managed to divert the white tiger from its straight route and forced it to avoid them, which slowed its speed by a meager amount .

Arthur opened his eyes wide and followed the movement of the white tiger, which couldn’t be seen as it was moving too fast . He poured Mental Power in his eyes and ignored everything around him, he calmed his heavy breathing and looked again, the blue light emitting from his eyes became brighter as his attention was driven to the White Tiger .

Slowly but surely, the white shadow transformed into a large white tiger with flashing golden tattoos, its eyes were flaring with a white light as it stared at him .

The movement of the tiger began slowing as if time itself was becoming slower, it reached to a point where the white tiger was frozen in mid-air and everything around Arthur was grey .

He didn’t mind anything but the tiger, he clenched the dark spear and took a throwing stance, he maxed out his Dexterity and Strength by sacrificing some of his Agility and Wisdom, then without any hesitation, he threw the Dark Spear .

The dark spear was normal in size at first but when it was thrown, it expanded in size until it reached ten meters in length . With a whistling sound and a speed that even the tiger couldn’t perceive, it stabbed the Divine Beast’s abdomen and sent it flying backward .

The White Tiger was flung off very far from Arthur, this attack turned out to be successful thanks to his eyes but the luster and blue light that bright a second ago has dimmed and almost vanished . There was even blood that came out of his eyes, he overused the ability of his eyes, especially with his previous attack .

Normally, the ability to stop time is only acquired after centuries of practice yet he had activated them just now, so a backlash should be something expected .
