Chapter 307
Words got stuck in Usui’s throat, he couldn’t retort to Arthur . After some time passed with his head dropped, he lifted it and stared at the one-eyed man, whose pupil was strangely grey just like his hair, robbing him of the confidence to retort .
"S-still, you weren’t present for five whole years, that doesn’t make you any better . "
*[Righteous Speech] was cast by Usui . Effect failed due to the User’s high level . Effect Negated due to User’s High Wisdom . Effect Negated due to User’s high Magic Defense . . . . *
Usui’s tone was more aggressive yet it contained a small amount of Magic due to the skill he used . Well, it wasn’t an active skill but more like an enigma skill, like Arthur’s Sixth Sense of his soft threads .
A row of notifications popped in front of Arthur, who dismissed them and smirked
"I don’t see why I need to explain myself to you . Furthermore, I think you should leave, you see . . . we’ve got a family meeting very soon . "
Before he let Usui respond, Arthur waved his hand, teleporting the poor young man a few kilometers away from this residence . After only a few seconds passed, the main door of this apartment was suddenly opened and a brown-haired girl entered with a quick pace while shouting
"Mommy mommy! Guess what I f-"
Mid-sentence, the girl halted her footsteps as she stared at the man next to her mother with a flabbergasted expression . She couldn’t believe what she’s seeing so she rubbed her eyes but he was still there .
"D,daddy"
The girl ran up to Arthur, who also opened her arms to the fast Saly, who hugged him tightly while sobbing nonstop . It was apparent that his sudden appearance was a great shock to her but it wasn’t in a bad way .
Even while she was hugging him, the little still didn’t believe he came back .
"I-it’s really you right?*sniff* y-you really came back?*sniff*"
With red eyes and a snotty nose, the little girl, who became way taller, stared at him with her big eyes while her hands were wrapped around his waist, tightly hugging him, refusing to let go .
Her surge of emotions and sudden joy forcefully deactivated transformation skill she learned, however, she didn’t seem to care as he tail wagged in the air from the deep happiness and relief she was currently feeling .
While rubbing her fluffy ears and her soft hair, Arthur held Saly in his arms and said
"Yes, I’m back for real . I’m sorry I made you wait this long . "
Saly was really different from five years ago . First of all, she was significantly stronger, with Randuin protecting her, she adventured into all the dungeons she found and beat a lot of bosses . She was currently Lv728 but her stats probably match a cultivator at the Spirit Realm .
Her height increased too, reaching up to 160cm, it surely didn’t match her age but beastmen were known to grow fast . Their average height after puberty is well over 185cm so it’s to be expected that Saly is this tall, after all, she’s training daily and eating properly so she’s growing like any other healthy beastmen . Arthur was planning to awaken the ancient bloodline residing inside of her .
All beastmen originated from a powerful ancient entity, whether it’s the cat tribe, bear tribe, fox tribe, or even the rat tribe .
"Mmmmm it’s okaaay~~~~"
Saly didn’t seem to care about the long wait as he’s finally here . It’s been a long time for a kid like her but she was still extremely attached to him, her tails kept fiercely wagging as he caressed her head .

"My little Saly had grown a lot!"
Arthur praised the excited Saly, who seemed to forget about she was about to say to Lucy and only focused on Arthur . For now, she wanted nothing but to stay with him, although she had Lucy with her all this time, it isn’t true that she never missed Arthur .
After all, she loved him as if he was her real father and would never forget the time he and Lucy helped her and cured her .
"En! I almost killed a real dragon too!! b-but Randuin intervened hmpf!"
As she spoke her achievement, the little girl glared at the bone lizard who just entered the living room . The beast respectfully bowed to Arthur and went to the side as he ignored Saly’s glare . He became a bit bigger and his aura was amplified, causing any outsider who looks at him feel like they were standing in front of Death’s door .
"Oh? A dragon? Tell me what happened . "
For a little girl to proudly claim that she almost killed a dragon, it’s sounded scary to most people but Arthur was different . He knew that Saly probably had absurd stats right now, enough to kill a dragon which was strong as Yamak, the lightning dragon, if not a bit stronger .
He wasn’t worried about what happened, Randuin is a create summoned by the Book of the Damned . Although he wasn’t as strong as Swain, his black flames aren’t something to scoff at, even someone as strong as Lucy is afraid to be struck by such flames .
"Amaterasu, the Eternal Flames of Death is what they are called . "
The copy spoke inside Arthur’s mind, answering the questions he had about this inextinguishable black flames .
’Flames of Death?’
"Yes, flames that last forever . They emit no heat but they can burn anything in their way . Although not the strongest flames in existence, they are definitely the most fearsome . It’s a shame you can’t wield them, no one can . "
’No one? How come Randuin can?’
"Simple . The book of the Damned, it is an original item that belonged to Death itself, so it’s natural that the lizard can wield the flames, but I doubt the other summoned creatures could . "
’Belonged to Death? As in what?’
"Just like there are Reapers, there’s Death, who rules over them . Basically, someone who represents the word Death, an entity that cannot be killed . Death is actually one of the few existences that simply can never die .
Arthur pondered about those words then asked
’Who are the other existences? The ones who can’t die . ’
"Well it’s hard to determine who’s an actual immortal but I can state three who definitely cannot die . First is obviously Death, second is the Joker and third is the Nameless Knight, as for the rest, I’m not really sure . "
Curious, Arthur retorted
’How did you determine they are unkillable? On what basis?"
"Good question . The answer is simple though, it’s power . There is no one who can kill them . "
’I thought Death is an entity that should be able to kill anyone it wants . ’
"Sure it can, very easily too, however, there are always exceptions . Death is the oldest but not the strongest, there are many powerful beings who surpass it in strength . "
Seeing that it’s only getting more complicated, Arthur didn’t continue with his questions which only made his copy shrugg and smile playfully .
