Chapter 256

After Arthur gave the weapon to the minotaur, he made sure to fully strengthen the already existing walls by adding to their height and creating much more poisonous vines . Even someone such as Anastassia will find it hard to destroy these walls, much less climb over them . Sure, a Spirit Realm could try to fly over them but the vines won’t stay idle, neither will the roaming dragons or the guarding minotaur .

His Mental Power was depleted so left his sect’s area and teleported away from the wasteland, appearing in the cave he created right at the center of the Human Continent . There was a teleportation array that he created a while and once he appeared there, he immediately destroyed to not cause further complication .

Although it’s not certain, his friends such as Anastassia knew the existence of this secret teleportation array that led to his cave and they may come here to try to help him, although it’s foolish, many people do stupid things in desperate times .

Arthur went to a small room to rest only to see a short figure standing there . Upon a closer look, it was none other than his servant, Swain .

The red-haired youth stared back at his master and said

"Thou are my master, I cannot abandon my duties and watch you die, we’re bound by fate and only death shall separate us . "

Arthur thought that this was what a lover should do, not a servant . Nonetheless, he let out a helpless sigh and raised his hand, drawing what seemed to be a red mantra that emanated an ominous aura .

As he saw his master do this, the youth couldn’t believe his eyes, before he could react or stop Arthur, the red mantra shone with bright red light then flew straight at his chest, pushing him back a few steps .

The youth didn’t bother checking what the mantra was for he knew its meaning, he only displayed a look of total disbelief .

"You..."

"You’ve been with me for quite some time so you know my priorities well . Although given enough time, Anastassia could also find a way to travel to Earth and find Lucy, but I feel more assured if you do it . You’re stronger and wiser, moreover, you’d do so sooner or later . However, the others may never achieve that which is why I refused to let you fight with me . I value Lucy and Saly’s life much more than mine and with you on the task, I would feel reassured, even if something unexpected were to happen, you could deal with it one way or another . We’re no longer tied and from now on, you’re free, I just hope that you’d this last favor for me . "

The youth kept listening to Arthur without replying, after a while, he just nodded his head unwillingly and left without uttering a word .

Arthur sat on the bed and let out another sigh, Swain was really a good servant, one who is powerful, understanding and wise, he always made the right decisions whatever the situation he was in . He even befriended Emily, who took a great liking to him .

Freeing Swain from his servitude was a difficult decision to make but he really didn’t hope for this youth to fight with him, although Swain’s background is mysterious and he never talked about it, Arthur could see that he’s really just a youth despite his wisdom, he is not merely the fusion of a book and a death golem .

Knowing Swain, Arthur was sure that he won’t betray the task he had given to him and in no time he would arrive where Lucy and Saly are .

There are a few days left before the arrival of the Catastrophe . Using his newly acquired eyes, Arthur was able to see the density of the Death Energy, which never ceased increasing for quite a while .

The quantity of this fearsome energy was stable for the first forty days and only at the 41st day did it start increasing, slowly but surely . The environment wasn’t largely affected but some of the weaker plants withered and even the strong beasts which didn’t leave the continent preferred to remain at their nest as their bestial instincts warned them about what to come .

After Swain left, Arthur started meditating, recuperating his lost Mental Power and calming his mind in preparation for the big fight . With no one to bother him and the calmness of the cave, he recovered quickly and was in top form in just a few hours .

The Human Continent now looked no more than a dead man’s land, with hiding beasts and withered plants, it looked more miserable than the wasteland on the West . Cities were evacuated, mansions were scavenged and houses were emptied and by the 58th day, not a human soul was left in the continent .

Arthur was currently floating in mid-air, a mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see was below him and a rising sun was coming up from the East . He had his eyes closed and was cross-legged, Makaze was on his knee with both his hands holding the dark blade that kept vibrating and burning with dark flames .

Arthur’s white skin reflected a black layer of Dark Mager that was created thanks to his body-strengthening technique, he managed to make a small breakthrough that boosted the properties of this technique and augmented his defense by a decent amount .

His mind was clear and his heart was calm, with his ever-lasting companion resting on his knees and a sleeve full of trump cards that he had prepared, he was patiently waiting for the incoming beasts, whether it’s a good ending or a miserable one, only he could decide that, fate can’t do a thing in such a situation, it’s his actions that’ll twist what shall happen and make it nothing more than a horrible yet harmless nightmare .

. . .

It was at the dawn of the 60th day that it happened, a never-before-seen earthquake assaulted the whole world, causing fear and chaos to occur in all cities and countries . Followed by the earthquake was the shadow of four gigantic beasts, one bigger than the other, overwhelming auras and suffocating pressure .

They literally appeared out of thin air, and as predicted by Swain and seen by Arthur, their appearance was above the Human Continent .

Arthur didn’t know where exactly they’ll strike from, but he had guessed right and they did indeed appear right at the center . From the looks of it, they wanted to start from the center then stretch to all corners of this vast land .

the first beast was a massive flaming bird that had a wingspan of one hundred meters, it had a golden crown on its face and ferocious eyes that could kill a mortal with a single stare . The second was a gigantic dragon, with a length surpassing three hundred meters and majestic aura surrounding it, it was azure in color and had abyssal eyes similar to a black hole .

The third beast seemed like a moving plant, it was the biggest out of the far yet it had the weakest presence, almost unnoticeable by any person, if not for its size, no one would have guessed a beast was there . It had a huge shell that covered the sky, cloaking the lands with its massive shadow, the shell looked extremely tough and unpenetrable, its skin was made from brown scales and its eyes were blood red, indicating its bloodlust .

Last but certainly not least was a tiger, a white one, with a long tail, golden claws and thick yet beautiful fur that covered it, giving the appearance of some ancient beastly God . It had golden eyes and some black tattoos on all of its limbs . The four beasts were directly staring at the lonesome insect that floated before them, from their glares, it could be seen that they harbored hostility toward this man .
