Chapter 182
This punch was more devastating than the first one as the mud tower was already shaking heavily when Arthur attacked . The thick crack dividing the room into two parts became even bigger and all people close to him were sent flying high up in the air or blown away, crashing into the falling wall or out of the room, some even fell into the huge hole at the end of the room from which gargoyles came from .
It was as apparent as the sun that Arthur was way superior to them, after all, when he was just an Immortal, he managed to kill an almost peak grade God from the Underworld, so, although Ti Eru and the rest were decently strong, if Arthur was to go all out like last time, they won’t be able to get away unscathed, however, the probability of killing them all without suffering nothing is equally impossible too .
Rumbling sound echoed in the mud tower and a third of it collapsed on itself which forced the huge crowd to dart away from the room . Ti Eru was wise enough to stay away so he quickly left the room along with his army when he saw the astonishing devastation . His anger had long since vanished when he saw the gargoyles suffer this much . Without wasting another second in here, he enveloped his army with a red energy and flew away from the mud tower .
Due to the damage caused by the white-clothed man, Tarathiel was forced to focus on him and let Ti Eru get away, he rushed to catch his brother, who had a pale face, blood leaked out of his lips and his body had multiple bloody scratches, ugly to behold .
What they didn’t know is that in the second punch, along with using Heavenly Mountain Fist, he also added Natural Lightning, which caused vibrations in all the surroundings and in no time, they invaded the God’s body and injured him internally .
Natural Lightning is one of the deadliest abilities Arthur could use, along with his fire and Dark Magic . Void magic is also overpowered but if it isn’t used wisely, it could easily turn on its owner and cause self-harm, death in some extreme cases .
Everyone was focused fleeing and dodging the falling boulders and ignored the source of all this damage . Grasping this opportunity, Arthur’s figure blurred and appeared near Rose, who was intending to jump into the big hole .
Just as she was about to jump, a small whirlpool flashed near her and vanished by the next second . Without her, or anyone else noticing, Arthur was able to slip in and avoid the focus of the three Gods, which were busy dealing with this complicated situation .
In fact, even if the boulders were to hit them, they would receive no damage, however, that was something else for their armies, especially the gargoyles, who had Spirit and Mortal ones lingering in that huge army
. . . . . . . .
Deep underground, in a decently large room with a simple bed and a special yard with a few medicinal plants growing in it, there sat a female gargoyle with red hair and long ears, she was not a top beauty but her looks were not average either, the only thing you can criticize her for is her missing arm . She quietly sat on the bed with eyes closed and crossed legs . For the last two days, Rose stayed in her room, recovering from the injuries she suffered . Adding the arm she lost, a strange green lightning invaded her body and caused some injuries . It was not severe but it couldn’t be ignored either as she needed to slowly push out the lightning, which stuck to her organs and kept vibrating and causing annoying pain .
The shut eyes opened at last when the last bit of green lightning was expelled from her body, Rose breathed a sigh of relief as she inspected her body one last time . When she saw nothing out of place, she prepared to wear her armor and head out to meet the clan leader only to be stopped .
Wide open eyes, half-open mouth and a flabbergasted expression, she didn’t even stand yet when her vision landed on a gray-haired man standing a meter in front of her . He didn’t emit any dangerous aura but that didn’t stop her from freezing on the stop, it was unknown if she stopped moving due to fear or hesitation, but it certainly wasn’t surprise .
All kinds of thoughts rampaged in her mind but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t guess how he managed to appear here . This underground layout is the real stronghold of the gargoyles and even a God cannot pass undetected when sneaking in here, it is also why the gargoyles were able to last this long and are considered one of the strongest factions here .
’How did he get here? Teleportation? No! That’s not possible! There’s an array against that . . . then how . . . . ’
Rose didn’t thoroughly think through, she glanced at her sword which was not far away . She kept it outside to nurture it and increase her intimacy with the sword . Sword cultivators like hers always nurture their swords, only Arthur would hide Makaze in his storage and only take it in dire times .
Actually, since he has peak mastery, he doesn’t need to nurture his katana, however, what he didn’t know is that his mastery is not enough for him to show what real sword mastery is .
"Fate let us meet again, how do you do, General Rose . "

Arthur talked with a calm tone as he displayed a playful smile, he didn’t feel threatened and already knew what she was thinking about . He didn’t push away the sword or destroy it, in fact, he acted as if he didn’t know her intention .
The indifference Arthur showed only made the general more panicked, various foolish and risky thoughts popped in her mind but at the end, she didn’t dare to act as she remembered how she was completely hopeless against him last time and lost an arm without even realizing it, it was absolute fear that came from deep inside her .
Forcefully squeezing a friendly smile, she replied
"It’s very nice to meet you again, sir . "
Ignoring her panic and fearfulness, Arthur walked to the other end of the bed and sat, oblivious to the stare of the general . He didn’t conceal this to make this dialogue more convincing, moreover, they already crossed paths and she shouldn’t be stupid enough to act against him .
Arthur wanted to stay dormant a bit more but he knew that it wasn’t possible, the only reason he was able to enter her body was due of the injuries and the lightning that hurt her and perturbed her Nether Energy flow, stopping it from detecting him . If more time passed, she would have detected a strange presence and would have forcefully pushed him out and that was deal heavy damage to him, just like what that knight did .
He suffered serious injuries but two days were more than enough for his body to fully recover . Although this place was dangerous, he still had a bit of confidence to fix things, furthermore, he was not going to give up on that knight . Without a doubt, that thing has a connection with spatial magic, as long as it has even a small probability, Arthur was able to bet on it .
"I have already given you a second chance and there will not be another . Not everyone gets a second chance in life, so you better treasure it and act wisely, not foolishly . "
When Rose wanted to act and straightened her thoughts, Arthur’s words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over her and making her unable to even keep that stiff smile .
"Seeing that you understand, let me ask you a simple question . Do you want to live? Or die?"
Expecting a question about her clan, Rose was startled and only after a few seconds did she snap out of her daze . Unconsciously, facing this calm yet scary man, she hurriedly replied
"L-live, live, I want to live but that doesn’t mean I’ll betray my kin!"
Arthur shrugged his shoulders innocently and retorted
"So what? Humans betray each other every day . Life is more precious than what you call loyalty because, at the end of the day, it is Strength which matters, not an absurd thing like ’loyalty’ . Furthermore, I’m not asking you to betray your kin, you just have to remain silent, nothing more . "
Rose kept silent, and from the stubborn and resolute look on her face, it was obvious that she wasn’t willing to cooperate .
"Now that is a problem . "
Since the friendly way wasn’t going to work, Arthur was not going to try to be kind either . The ethereal state was canceled and his playful smile vanished .
Countless threads wrapped themselves around Rose and stopped her from even lifting her finger but what followed was the real horror . A thick bloodlust enveloped her coupled with a chilling aura shaking her spines, albeit being immobile due to the threads, her body involuntarily shivered from fear . It’s like she was facing a completely different person, previously a sly fox and now a slaughter god . The stubborn words that she was intending to spit out couldn’t get out of her mouth . Her body was locked by a vicious and cold stare coming from the deep gray pupils of Arthur, it was suffocating as if someone was strangling her .
"General, you must know that all life is temporary and it is up to each person to decide his fate . Do not be foolish enough to waste your long life, neither I nor you wish for your death, so do not disappoint me!"
As his words finished, he vanished from her sight and she felt an extremely cold yet weird aura invading her mind . Before she could gather her Nether Energy to fight it out, she heard the same cold voice inside her ears
"Remember, Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise, don’t waste your second chance when you’re so lucky enough to get one . "
