Chapter 597: 597
The three flags they just received were all given to Lucy as she’s less likely to be attacked by strangers . Arthur was infamous amongst the contestants and there could be more people like the dead lancer who are aiming for his life .
"This event won’t last for long so let’s get more flags . "
Soon after, Lucy jumped on Arthur, who transformed into a big Azure Dragon . In such a large body, it won’t be that easy to steal the flags from him, furthermore, this Divine Beast can use many ultimate skills such as the Dragon Breath or the Dragon Words, which some sort of absolute authority that no one can resist .
Due to their little act on the previous floor, Forne most likely knows about their reunion but he won’t try anything funny . Arthur and Lucy decided to remain together and clear this floor by eliminating the other contestants and stealing their flags .
With the two of them joining hands, there is only a few individuals who can stop them, one of them is the Sword God, who Arthur abstained from even getting close to . Yes, the they recently become friends but this is a competition and there’s not a convincing reason for Ber Von Xin to not steal the parasite’s flag, or even Lucy’s .
Two minutes after Arthur started flying over the massive chest board, he found the next target, a lone figure standing on the white area . Surprisingly, he was the scythe-wielding man from the previous floor, the one who got hit by Zodiak’s Dark Magic .
Apparently, he managed to recover and seemed to be in a healthy state . His lengthy and curve scythe was vertically facing him while he had his eyes closed . Unfortunately, the peaceful experience he was in didn’t last long as a dragon came flying at him, startling the man .
The beast opened its mouth and spat a sea of transparent red flames that fell down on the panicking man . In retaliation, the scythe-wielding contestant did a back-flip while at the same time swinging his weapon, sending multiple green arcs made of concentrated elemental energy .
Whatever the man unleashed, it didn’t seem that impressive but those arcs were able to split the dragonic flames in two and head toward Arthur . Just as the dragon was about to get hit, two ice lotuses flew from above the dragon and blocked the green arcs, turning them into countless blue particles that dispersed within seconds .
The cultivator didn’t linger there any longer and tried to get away from the large dragon but the latter was just too fast . Despite its massive body, it managed to fly with incredible speed and crash into the tiny fleeing figure .
The scythe was swung yet again, unleashing an even greater blast which locked both Arthur and Lucy for a few moments . The man used this time to attack again, raising the staff with one hand and holding a spiky red ball in the other .
Normally, the effect of the man’s technique would last for at least ten seconds but due to the passive Arthur gained from the White Tiger, he was only frozen for five seconds before breaking free . Invisible Nether energy emanated from the dragon and shook the scythe, which showed signs of breaking . Seeing this, the man grit his teeth and stored his weapon before injecting more energy into the red ball then throwing it at the dragon, which opened its mouth, ready to execute its breath .
The red ball in the man’s hand started brightening, making him throw it Arthur, who just cast the Dragon’s breath and blasted an unstoppable violent fire upon the area before him . The minuscule red ball emitted a red light which seemed to distort reality and suck all the dragon’s fire, however, it was only able to do so for a short while before it shattered, causing the rest of the skill to hit the man and fling him far away .
Arthur was about to follow up only for the wounded man to quickly get up, his body shaking all over and burnt . He raised his hand, indicating his surrender .
The dragon’s fangs were about to bite down the small human body it stopped at the very last second . Seeing the parasite stop, the man let out a sigh and threw his white flag on the floor while saying:
"I lost . "

He didn’t attempt anything and just used the Escape Ticket, soon disappearing from the floor .
"They’re really strong . " Commented Lucy as she glanced at a red spot left by the strange red ball . It might have looked like a one-sided battle but the scythe-wielding man was powerful . It’s just that Arthur has a wide variety of skills that allows him to counter most enemies . Moreover, he had Lucy with him to provide timely support hence the easy win .
An opponent such as the Black Seat or the Void Behemoth could prove to be more difficult, however . Anyways, after getting their 4th flag, Arthur left the area along with Lucy, who was now in possession of five flags in total .
The Azure Dragon was twirling in the area and looking for another target only to hear a deafening gunshot followed by a blast that sent him crashing into the metallic black ground . His stats were increased and the flags started emitting a bright white light that showed their exact locations .
The unseen attack took a huge chunk of Arthur’s help and even broke the Dark Barrier almost instantly . Right after he fell on the ground, a silhouette came running from afar while firing actual laser beams at the Azure Dragon .
The assailant was a real humanoid robot equipped with various technologically advanced weapons . It also had a strange-looking sniper rifle on its back . Arthur changed form and returned to being human, however, the gunshot was visible and would not recover even when he cast Life Magic . It hit the lower right part of his chest and broke some ribs, there was even a lot of blood leaking out .
While holding his chest, he glared at the incoming robot, which lacked any kind of face and its place was some sort of a cannon, which was readying itself .
A graceful and swift figure went pass Arthur and faced the robot, which fired multiple beams, trying to get rid of the white specter . Unfortunately, the beams were stopped by the nine lotuses protecting Lucy, and just when she reached it, a bigger lotus came to life and froze everything around her .
The robot was momentarily frozen but, it broke free within seconds and fired the cannon at Lucy, who was ready to receive it . She stretched her hand and unleashed a mysterious white flame that engulfed the cannon blast and directly hit the robot .
It was only a small fireball but the damage it did was truly frightening . More than a third of the robot either melted or turned into ice and it soon started Livingston, barely able to stand still . Instead of finishing it, Lucy appeared before it and struck with her legs, destroying several parts with each hit until the victim could only wriggle . It didn’t feel pain but it was broken beyond repair though Lucy showed no signs of stopping .
A distance away, Arthur was still struggling to heal his injury . At first, Water or Life energy weren’t able to get rid of the bullet inside of him so he had to resort to a more forceful way .
He used the minuscule Void Mouths to get rid of the internal damage, disregarding the risks involved . While it worked, the Void Mouths only vanished after devouring some of his organs, further lowering his health .
Nevertheless, he successfully got rid of the problem, and thanks to his high recovery, he went back to full Health in ten or so minutes .
"Master, the bullet had Dark Matter in it . It is superior to Nether Energy and can’t be affected by elemental Magic . "
Hearing the Quad-Spirit, Arthur grit his teeth and said: "Yeah, I noticed that . "
After confirming that his body was back to its peak state, he walked to Lucy . She turned the robot into an absolute wreck and was now holding what seemed to be its core in her hand .
The core was a jet black orb that was incredibly heavy... to the point that Lucy was able to hold it only for a few seconds before it fell from her hand .
"I didn’t know the robots from the System are also here . "-Lucy
"I did notice a few back in the Waiting Room but I couldn’t gauge their power . They also don’t seem to be in cahoots with Maxine . "
