Chapter 340

"I-It can’t b-be! You died!"

Claudia was hell-bent on rejecting reality . Even in a world like hers, where technology is reaching its peak and Magic is a normal thing, the revival of the dead isn’t a common thing, not even in High-Realms . In fact, it’s the most taboo thing one could ever do .

The dead should never be revived, which is why the Undead are partially hated by some factions, mainly the Holy Dominion .

"Ah . . . you really want me to speak of your little secret? Alright, it doesn’t concern me so I’m fine with saying it . Hmm . . . let’s say that your respected step-father had an unusual liking to his little foster daughter . "

Claudia’s body trembled fiercely as she heard his words . Now, there was no denying that this man is her deceased husband, Arthur Bilgart .

"A-Arthur . . . is that really you?"

’SLAP!’

This time, it wasn’t Arthur who slapped her but Lucy, who remained silent and merely watched the show from the sidelines .

"Don’t you ever utter his name . "

Unfortunately, Lucy didn’t weaken her strength so her slap literally disfigured Claudia . A dislocated jawline and red cheeks and bleeding lips . The sight was truly horrible and even Claudia’s closest acquaintance won’t be able to recognize her .

Claudia ignored her current state and sneered in a desperate tone

"S-so what if you’re alive? Do you think I’m going to apologize for the past? Or beg you to spare my life? Ha! Don’t make laugh*spit* you totally deserved everything!"

Arthur wasn’t angered by her words, in fact, he displayed a broad smile and clapped his hands while saying

"Now that’s the real you! It really won’t be satisfying unless I see such stubbornness hahahahaha"

Arthur was just about to bind her using Telekinesis when something suddenly occurred . Neither he nor Lucy were injured as a cool breeze passed by their necks but wasn’t even able to tear their clothes, however, the disaster was actually that Claudia didn’t have such an impenetrable defense like the couple .

Cleanly and swiftly, the disfigured face along with the whole head of Claudia was sent flying in the air and landed a couple of meters away from the headless body .

Arthur was so focused on this whole matter and with Claudia so the moment this happened, it immediately made him astonished and in a daze . He forgot everything around him and merely stared at the lifeless corpse in front of him with hollow eyes .

Lucy wasn’t the same, she was momentarily startled but quickly regained her senses and spread her Godly Sense to find out the enemies’ location .

Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to find them for some time, however, that only lasted for half a minute before she managed to find the two hiding rats .

For two strangers to be able to attack them without her or Arthur’s awareness, there are only two options . One is that the enemies are way stronger than them and second is that they used a particular technique or a treasure/artifact that allowed them to remain undetected .

. . . .

High up in the sky, approximatively two kilometers away from Arthur and Lucy . Two old men were floating in the air as they stared at the cave which had three corpses and two higher beings which were stronger than they expected .

"I wasn’t even able to injure them with my Time Rupture . They are just a God and a Half-Sovereign, how come they could resist me?"

The two old men pondered for a few seconds before the second one talked

"Perhaps . . . . they have unique treasures that can resist us?"

Once he said that, the two pair of eyes flashed with greed as they focused their attention on the dazed Arthur and Lucy, who was motionlessly staying behind her husband with her eyes closed .

Obviously, they didn’t think that they would be found since they were controlling Time so that their presence couldn’t be felt or found .

Sadly for them, after half a minute passed and seeing that the two fat sheep were still motionless . The two old men dropped their guard which affected their technique very slightly, however, that split second of carelessness was more than enough for Lucy to sense something .

She wasn’t even going to question them or figure out their identities . As the two old men were discussing how to deal with the two of them, Lucy’s figure disappeared but before the other party was able to react or even be surprised by her disappearance, one of them heard the sound of bones breaking .

Lucy’s body had surpassed the limiter like Arthur and even God Monarchs couldn’t match her in strength and speed unless they practiced some kind of a special body cultivation technique .

One of the two old men was kicked by Lucy and was sent flying a few kilometers until he crashed into a mountain . More than half of his bones were broken and his face became horribly pale .

His comrade, who witnessed what happened, retrieved his staff and was going to retreat while stopping time, however, he was still a beat slower than Lucy, who brought down a ten-meter wide meteor which emitted an intense heat and had purple flames burning on its edges .

With a panicked expression, the old man raised his staff to block but such a move was beyond useless as the meteor crashed into him and literally pulverized his staff and flattened him on the ground . Once the smoke was cleared, you could see his body which was severely burnt due to the lava and the purple flames, moreover, he was missing both of his legs .

Lucy emotionlessly glanced at this dying old man before disappearing into the horizon and appearing next to the other old man, who was breathing heavily as he glared at the unexpected visitor, who was approaching him .

"W-who ar-"

Before he could finish, Lucy’s soft saber had already penetrated his throat thus causing a fountain of blood to splatter on the ground . Without caring about the corpse, she turned around and returned next to Arthur, who wasn’t looking so good .

Slowly but surely, a dark fog was emanating from his body . Clouds started clustering around the area and soon, the rays of the sun were totally covered . This, however, was but the beginning of an absolute nightmare .

Arthur fell to his knees and clutched his head as he blankly stared at the ground .

****

"T-this can’t be! NO!"

Lucy wanted to calm him down but the dark fog around him was corroding everything and pushing her back .

. . . . . . . . .

On the surface of the moon, Sloth, who was snoring while hugging a huge pink pillow, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Earth with a serious look .

"Ahh! Even if it was only a Dark Spirit, it would have been a miraculous thing yet it’s a Dual Spirit . . . . truly terrifying! Even I, can’t help but shiver!"

His form disappeared from the surface of the moon as he was heading toward Arthur only to smash into a solid cubic dark barrier that developed the whole Earth .

Sloth angrily smashed his fist on the barrier but it didn’t cause any damage . He sighed helplessly then said

"Miss Lucy, it’s up to you now . You must calm him down . "
