Chapter 502
The falling chain was like a huge teor, destroying everything in its way and sparing no one, living or dead . Actually, the four hundred million undead were reduced to only fifty million, however, those 50 million were the cream of the crop, the best and strongest undead .
As for the white specters, they were supported by the Holy Knights and the Marshall’s army so they weren’t completely wiped, yet . The battle between the two struggling powers continued and the collateral damage done by falling chains obliterated more than a hundred thousand undead, if not more .
The chains were absurdly big, just like the tentacle that ca out of the red gate . Speaking of the disgusting thing, it was still in a bitter struggle with the Fenrir, each going at the other and attacking relentlessly .
The tentacle was only a part of the monster’s real body and it was under many limitations so it wasn’t able to do much against a real Fenrir . After what seed an eternity, the tentacle was torn into countless pieces by the Fenrir, which dealt the final blow and bit down the whole thing, ripping it from its main body .
Probably, the only person who had ti to watch the battle between the Fenrir and the tentacle is the Matriarch, who was absent-minded from start to finish . She only reacted when a large part of the tentacle fell from above so she was forced to use her flas to get rid of it .
At the sa ti, she seed to have snapped out of her long daze . Katrina looked around, inspecting the still unconscious Angelina before shifting her attention to Lucy, who stood next to Arthur, raised her arm, ready to pull the trigger .
A foreign-looking firearm was held by her daughter, it was made from a silver material and was definitely a top grade artifact . Though the distance separating them was big, Katrina could still feel the outrageous amount of Mana flowing through the revolver .
At last, Lucy used her free hand to press on her wrist while clenching the revolver then pulled the trigger with great difficulty . Her target? None other than the two monks, whose faces paled when they saw the incoming projectile . It had a minuscule size, non-threatening appearance and a severe lack of energy, however, were one to look closer, they would notice a monstrous amount of Mana .
The role of Mana was rely to support the bullet and allow it to reach its destination, the rest will be done when it detonates and obliterates its target . In fact, the gunshot was so loud that ti seed to have frozen for a second or two, every heart stopped beating, every eye stopped blinking, everything and everyone beca immobile .
At this point of ti, a pillar of silver light rose from the ground and stood erect in front of the flying bullet, blocking it from reaching its target . However, what the enemy didn’t know is that the bullet will detonate the mont it ets an obstacle, so, when it was t with the silver pillar, a devastating wave spread to all directions, pushing away Arthur, Lucy, Katrina, and everyone else who was close to the impact .
The one who erected the silver pillar was the thrashed monk, who managed to get rid of the Divine Beast for so ti and intervene in ti so that his comrades can continue their prayers in peace . Unfortunately, by interfering, he caused the bullet to detonate several ters away from him, shattering his silver pillar and flattening his body in the ground while creating an incredibly large crater which had a radius of several dozens of miles .
Dust accumulated in the sky and the red gate was shrouded by the turbulent and whistling winds, the two praying monks were safe, more or less, however, there were no signs of the other monk . He seed to have completely vanished .
As for Lucy, she was breathing heavily as Arthur supported her with his arms . Right behind them stood a three-headed creature that crouched its body and released a white light which enveloped the woman, healing her disabled arm .
The veins were blocked, blood disappeared from her whole right arm, her muscles were split and her bones turned into dust . Only a being like the Angel of Death can alleviate the pain and slowly heal such a permanent injury .
...
The tentacle was gone and all that was left was the still breathing old monks . Saly, who transford into Fenrir, still had so ti before the effect wears off so she decided to attack the old n only to suddenly retreated to the back as a chain thicker than the rest fell from the red gate and drilled into the ground .
The closed red gate started slowly opening, showing the world on the side; Oblivion . Its sky was bloody red, its earth scorched and corrupted and you could see countless grotesque monsters clustering together, most noticeable were the ugly abominations that had multiple arms, the Cthulhu .
When the red gate was fully opened, the golden rope held by the two monks seed to have a reaction as it escaped their hands and flew down below .
A distance away, Arthur noticed a golden brilliance heading for him so he raised Makaze and slashed down, releasing several dark arcs which cut down the golden brilliance . After a mont of eerie silence, the golden radiance appeared again but this ti, it was brighter and bigger . When it was close to him, Arthur could see that it was a shiny rope that had a length of around 20m .
He brandished his dark blade and cut the illuminating rope, dispersing its golden light and causing it to vanish into nothingness . Sadly, the sa thing repeated itself as another rope, taller than its predecessor, appeared from the void and quickly wrapped itself around his leg .
Arthur let out a cold snort and used Dark Magic to consu the golden rope, which did work wonders . Ten seconds flew by and when he saw that nothing was out of place, Arthur was about to let out a sigh of relief only for another rope to appeared around his chest, this ti binding his arms and immobilizing .
The man didn’t give up, he made use of his superior strength to rip the tightening rope, turning it into a useless ss, however, he soon ca to know that no matter what skill or action he did, the rope won’t disappear .
Lucy joined in and used her Yin to freeze the rope but it simply vanished and reappeared again, longer and stronger . After one minute passed, Arthur was bound by a golden rope, unable to properly move his arms or legs, this annoying thing wrapped itself around him and made him look like a mummy except his head was exposed .
Seeing the parasite finally apprehended, the oldest monk nodded his head and let out a sigh, relieved that it’s finally over . He grabbed his overly-exhausted partner and shifted away from the open red gate, unwilling to be influenced by the savage leaking out of Oblivion .
As their eyes were on the bound Arthur, the two monks were unable to react in ti when a humongous white wolf appeared above them . The beast roared loudly and used its long tail to hit the two monks, sending them flying like broken kites .
The exhausted monks were barely able to hold on so Fenrir’s blow was like a death sentence to him . As for the other monk, the oldest of them and the strongest, he was about to save the other monk only to see Fenrir devour his partner then turn his head toward him . The wolf’s sky blue eyes contained uncontrollable rage and anger, it made an old existence like this old man shiver in fear .
He was about to turn tail and flee but his movents were slower than the legendary beast which appeared before him and slashed down . Sadly, just when the sharp claws were about to rip the old man into a bloody ss, the white wolf vanished and was replaced by a little girl whose face was pale and her complexion bad .
The old monk was montarily stupefied, unable to comprehend what just happened . When he saw a weak-looking girl with white fur and sky blue, he kind of understood the situation . The fearful expression he had vanished and his eyes flashed with a cold light . He approached the half-conscious girl and said
"Little girl, you seem to be fatigued . By Buddha’s way, I shall guide you to our temple so you can recover . "
He raised his hand and released a golden light which enveloped Saly, binding her movent and causing her to cry in pain .
Unfortunately, Lucy wasn’t able to hear her as she was far away and preoccupied with Arthur, who was being dragged inside the gate by the golden rope . The Angel of Death also tried getting rid of the binding artifact but to no avail, it would always co back in a stronger state .
