Thud!
The over three-ters-tall, substantial skeleton head exploded.
There was no earth-shattering noise.
It was just a soft sound.
Like a soap bubble flying under the sunlight.
Once it flew, it was destined to disappear.
And the mber of the 'Death Poetry Society' who had completed the 'Ghoul Ritual' was wailing as he fell to the ground, his body that could withstand a direct hit from the Little Emperor Cannon rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What was more important was that the Female Swordmaster even saw a plea in the eyes of this 'Death Poetry Society' mber?
A plea?
How could that be possible?!
The 'Death Poetry Society,' a bunch of lunatics pursuing death, how could they possibly beg in the face of it?
The Female Swordmaster stood there beginning to doubt if she had seen wrongly.
Beside her, Marinda was also slightly unable to hold back.
The lady lifted her hand just in ti to steady the pipe that almost fell from her mouth.
She stared blankly at Arthur floating in mid-air.
She knew Arthur was powerful.
Born in the 'Cat Faction. Hei.'
The current 'Black Cat.'
In hiding for many years.
Any of these conditions could describe soone powerful.
But Marinda never imagined Arthur could be so strong.
How could that lightweight finger have such formidable power?
Moreover, a more important point was that she had never heard of a similar secret technique!
That left only one possibility—
'Is this a secret technique of the Kledos Family?
Apart from the pure killing intent and swordsmanship of death, they have also created such a powerful and silent secret technique?
The fearso Kledos Family!'
Marinda couldn't help but think.
The Female Swordmaster beside her also had a similar thought in the back of her mind.
Arthur in mid-air caught one glimpse of the expressions of both won.
Without needing the Skill enhancent of "Eagle Eye" or "Insight," Arthur could guess what Marinda and the Female Swordmaster were thinking at the mont.
Without any hesitation, the young 'Spirit dium's' palm slowly lowered, and he said indifferently—
"Silent Whisper. Silent Burial!"
Arthur was a nice guy who didn't like to disappoint others.
So, since Marinda and the Female Swordmaster were already guessing, Arthur naturally wanted to satisfy their conjectures.
He absolutely wouldn't tell the two that such a situation was rely borne from his Talent "Breath of Death."
Any Death Qi.
Any Power of Death.
It was all useless before him.
"Breath of Death" was a natural counter to all Death Qi and users of the Power of Death.
It didn't matter whether they were at Arcana Level or Great Arcana Level.
Even if 'Entrants' ca, it would be the sa.
But such a fact was too boring.
And such words, even more so, were boring.
Therefore, aside from its core swordsmanship, the Kledos Family gained an additional Core Mystical Art.
Why don't the other mbers of the Kledos Family know it?
How do you know they don't?
They just haven't used it, that's all.
Thinking this, Arthur slowly stepped down from mid-air.
He silently thanked his best support, "Hand of Void," again in his heart.
Standing before the 'Death Poetry Society' mber, the 'Aura of Death' was still surging incessantly from within the body of the other, being absorbed into his own.
Arthur glanced at the Death Qi Value that was still crazily rising, having already broken past the 2000 mark, and a look of resignation appeared in his eyes.
Even wearing "Daniel's Hope," although the curse was greatly reduced, the effect on isolating the absorption of Death Qi was poor.
Especially when sothing like this 'Mobile Storage Vessel' appeared, it was even more so the case.
Arthur lowered his head, looking down at this "mobile storage vessel."
At this mont, the other party's body had already decayed to the point where their innards were exposed.
Those exposed organs were decaying rapidly, as if the oxygen in the air was laced with potent poison.
But the other party had not died yet.
Having been in contact with death for an extended period, the other party possessed a slightly stronger resistance than the average person, allowing them to cling to a last breath—
"You, you…
Death's Child!"
After the other party stamred out these words, both of their eyeballs popped and shattered, and their entire body deflated and decayed like a punctured ball, resembling a piece of deadwood.
This sight was as if the words the other party had just uttered carried a "terrible curse."
Still shocked by the Kledos Family's secret technique "Silent Whisper. Silent Burial," Marinda, the female swordmaster, imdiately looked up in surprise, her gaze involuntarily locking on Arthur.
But Arthur appeared quite composed.
"It's just so additional effects of the secret technique 'Silent Whisper.'"
That's what Arthur said.
It indeed was an effect caused by "Breath of Death" absorbing the other party's innate death qi, similar to what the mbers of the Death Poetry Society had experienced before.
At this, neither Marinda nor the female swordmaster objected.
'Because the previous Black Cat fell in battle, during the period of concealnt, they began to borrow the concept of "Communicate with Spirits" from the Cat Faction's core mystical arts. Did they create the more aggressive and secretive secret technique "Silent Whisper"?' thought Marinda and the female swordmaster, a chill settling in their hearts.
The fact that it was more aggressive was worrying enough.
Not to ntion becoming even more secretive!
This thought was already enough to rob them of peace of mind.
Rembering the scene that had just unfolded, and being certain that Arthur didn't need any preparation before making a move, when everything happened in complete silence, both ladies felt the hair on their backs stand on end.
They knew that if caught off guard by such an attack, they wouldn't have a chance to dodge; they would have to endure it head-on.
The outco would naturally be…
Injury or death!
And neither of those outcos was acceptable to them.
'Thank goodness I'm on good terms with this guy!' Marinda thought, slightly relieved.
The female swordmaster, however, beca even more vigilant.
'Before confirming complete safety, I absolutely cannot let Arthur et Lord Count!
No!
It's best if they never et in this lifeti!' she resolved silently, while she showed Arthur a bright, hearty smile.
"Such an astounding secret technique!"
"Thanks to my grandfather. The design of these secret techniques all ca from him, and I am just a lucky user," Arthur replied modestly.
In the Mystic Side, age isn't absolute, but the elders do tend to be respected easier, as longevity is also a form of capital.
"Mr. Charlie?
If I have the chance, I will definitely pay a visit to this gentleman!" the female swordmaster responded with utmost politeness.
The battle they had just witnessed had dramatically elevated the status of the Kledos family in her eyes.
She would not overlook Arthur.
And naturally, neither would she overlook the other mbers of the Kledos family.
Especially that eldest mber of the Kledos family needed to be watched carefully.
"There will be a chance!
My grandfather would never refuse a visit from a lady!" Arthur uttered openly while ribbing Old Charlie.
He believed that as the "na of the Kledos family soars," Old Charlie's fa would shine even brighter. Better to be upfront now than to be caught off guard later.
After all…
He was not Old Charlie.
Besides, Arthur believed that the interested parties must have already scrutinized the Kledos family.
In fact, this was true. Upon seeing the female swordmaster show an awkward yet polite smile, Arthur simply shrugged helplessly.
Then the young Spirit dium's deanor turned serious as he softly said—
"We have big trouble now!"
