YM778.TV Chapter 301 - Wasting Time
Arthur was literally at his lowest point in his new life, and despite falling this deep in this dark abyss; he never lost sight of hope even when it turned into a tiny almost invisible dot of light in the far sky!
"Ding! Buy some time for me."
And the simple and short, yet decisive, words of the system made this flickering light of hope ignite fiercely, as Arthur knew deep down his soul that the system had a plan, and this ancient creature of old times needs only some time to finalize it.
And Arthur was quite confident in his ability to buy all the time his system needed, no matter what he had to endure!
"So, this is the bastard child of the dragonair clan?"
One deep voice came from one of the eight pillars surrounding Arthur.
"I thought he would be much older, far stronger, not this weak fly!"
"Olor, your strength is really in question here!"
"Pathetic!"
"He isn\'t worth even me coming all the way here! he isn\'t worth the time and resources wasted to form armies to kill him! I want compensation from you Olor for your incompetence!"
"How can such a weak mage cause all this trouble under your watch?"
They were speaking with such arrogance that Arthur felt it brimmed from their confidence and their high status; giving him a clumsy idea about their identities.
And before Olor could speak, Arthur suddenly stepped in, saying in a casual tone:
"Oh, I never thought Olor would be so kind to invite all the great dark clans heads here to meet me. I\'m really dishonored by your presence."
"And he has a sharp tongue, with nothing to back his own words but his mere foolish delusion of his own self; noted, I wrote everything about him already and we can proceed to kill him."
This sound suddenly erupted from one of the pillars, showing a figure that matched with the voice; extreme young beauty, not like those old ones here.
"Oho, such a beauty here? What are you doing out there girl? These old men will eat you alive with their eyes alone!"
"Hehehe, and he has a sense of humor that I like, added."
The reply came strangely from the girl that seemed not too old from him, in mid- twentieth, while she was speaking to some invisible being to her side like she was giving orders to her butlers.
"I also like you," he said, before making a motion with his hands as if he was holding her, "come and let us play together," he added.
"Hehehe, and horny as well, noted," she then stopped speaking to whoever or whatever present beside her before glancing over to Arthur as she said:
"It\'s a shame I won\'t be able to play with you, torture you as much as I love and hear your own screams –well at least Olor here will do this for me, right my little Oly?"
Arthur glanced at Olor, to see his face turned upside down, as if he was so terrified of some deadly creature. "Beauty is toxic, I have to admit," Arthur smirked as he remarked on Olor\'s reaction.
"And I agree with that," and the girl chuckled softly in a very soft melody that even touched Arthur\'s heart, making him realize how dangerous this girl was. "A seduction monster, one of the most horrifying indeed," he thought to himself as he totally knew this innocent beauty was actually such a very ugly and hideous monster, using seduction and illusion to form a net around her victims to kill them.
"Olor, we will stand and watch, and won\'t interfere. Let\'s see how capable you are. If not, then the Dorfis clan ambition will be halted, and even their stand amongst the middle clans in our world will be under question!"
This strong and firm tone came from the last pillar, whose owner was the last to speak, showing his authority and position as the head of this group of hungry pack of wolves eyeing their prey.
"And you came all down here to just watch? Interesting!"
The man only gave Arthur a silent glance, and Arthur felt he was really facing death! He didn\'t like this feeling, but he had a perfect control over his expressions, making no single hint of him being afraid at all!
"And he loves to insult strong foes to make him feel better, did this with Olor and now with our prime, noted."
Again this sexy voice of the seductive girl came to interrupt the heavy silence prevailing here. "Olor, don\'t waste our time more than that," the man spoke again to Olor, giving him a threat not an order!
Olor\'s body shivered slightly when he heard these words, making Arthur understand perfectly the place and strength of that man. Olor then turned to face Arthur with a completely different attitude than the one he showed towards the other clan heads; an arrogant and vicious attitude, like a hunter looking at a deer entangled with his trap net.
"Embrace yourself boy, as this time I will repay all the kind gifts you sent to my clan."
"Oh, you don\'t tell me, did the kids like them?" Arthur asked with a laugh he couldn\'t control, making the face of Olor change slightly before he also laughed evilly and much louder as he said:
"I will make sure to go to your dirty little village you like to call city and torture each single girl, child, and elders there."
"Olor, stop wasting time!"
This time the shout came from the head pillar made Olor stop instantly from wasting time with Arthur. Arthur inwardly cursed at this hidden leader, as he seemed pissed by Arthur\'s obvious tries to waste time.
"Are you done?"
"Ding! Just give me a minute!"
"Sigh, I hope I will have one," Arthur muttered as the next moment he noticed Olor putting his hand over the top of the pillar while muttering something unheard to Arthur, before the whole pillar shone in dark light engulfing all the lights around it.
"Rumble!"
The world shook again, and this time a dome shaped array appeared from all the pillars, to unite with the small dark pillar of light emanated from Olor\'s pillar, before a strong pressure was exerted over Arthur\'s body, making even breathing so difficult.
"The sealing array is activated, you can proceed," the leader said again, as Arthur really felt great oppression at this moment.
Amidst this desperate moment, and as he was thinking what would be the nature of the attack coming from Olor and how to defend against it, a new change occurred!
"Rise, our sacred guardian!" Olor shouted, while a great pressure suddenly emanated, not from him, but from the pillar, resembling the pressure of the two eyes of the master Arthur had experienced before.
"Not good!" Arthur muttered as the next moment a creature appeared, not the two eyes of his master, but a giant hideous monster of the Dorfis clan, so large that it could stand shoulder to shoulder with the giant pillars here!
And this monster wasn\'t fully appearing yet, and the whole world rumbled under its huge pressure!
"If this thing appeared here I would be dead! System help!"
"Ding! Yes I totally agree with your statement!"
"…"
