260 End of the Line
The moment Arthur activated his Monlog bloodline, his body changed once again. He was already completed different from a human being, and the Monlog bloodline came to amplify it!
His body doubled in size. Not only his height but also his muscles bulged, turning him into a creature directly from movies!
A tall and bulky lizard. Then, the dark substance the Monlog Giant used came enveloping his body, making him even scarier!
“What the hell is this? A Godzilla?”
The man in front of him knew a lot of things about Arthur, but the Monlog bloodline was not one of these things. He was shocked after witnessing the transformation, but there was no way Arthur could deal with him.
“It is still not enough to face my avatar, you know. But hey, you can try, hehehe!”
Even after all of those hidden powers, bloodlines, and all, Arthur’s aura was not at the same level as the man in front of him.
He knew it, of course he did, but what could he do? Arthur had to fight for his life in that scenario. The fact would never change.
A flickering light the eyes could barely see. It was the man dashing toward Arthur, wielding his long, sharp, and chilly spear.
“Fast!”
The distance covered was astonishing. He was at least 100 meters away from Arthur, yet appeared in a matter of seconds.
Everything happened so fast. The only thing Arthur could do was use his claws to defend against the spear attack. It worked, but the force behind the attack was too much, causing Arthur to fly away, hitting the cave’s wall.
“Hahahaha, did you like it? I trained in spears since the moment I came to this world!”
Arthur slowly got up, feeling both of his arms numb. He looked at the man and said, “how did you come to this world, anyway? Is it the same with all the others?”
“Well, considering you will die today, then it should not be a problem for me to tell you this. Also, you would find the answer, anyway.”
“All of us were just living our lives. We went to bed and then boom, we are here. Also, all of us appeared on the same continent as you did, but at different times. I was the fifth to come, and some before me appeared thousand of years ago!”
“What? This makes little sense. Why and who would send us here?”
“Dunno, and don’t care. Never wanted to go back, just like all the others. We even created an alliance that rules all the planets. Could you believe it?”
What the man said was valuable information. All the gods turned out to be humans from Earth, but they got there before him, way before. Still, based on what the man told, all the humans from Earth were from the 21st century.
So, they all vanished from Earth almost at the same period, yet some arrived in this new world thousand of years earlier.
“Time is messed up, then. What the hell! I believe my time inside that dark space took way longer than I noticed!”
Also, the alliance which commanded all the planets was ruled by them! That was not something good. Even if Arthur somehow escaped that place with his life, his time when traveling between planets would be a living hell!
They were hunting him and if they were an alliance that rules over everyone, it would be hard for Arthur to survive!
“What can I do? What can I do? Wait, could that work?”
One thing Arthur knew about these gods long before this very meeting was the strange energy they had! It was now part of his system as well, the Celestial Energy!
Arthur did not know how these gods came into touch with this energy. When they arrived in this new world from Earth, then all of them had to use mana, right?
He still did not know the origin of such energy, but he had a necklace Skye gave him that could absorb the Celestial Energy!
The man slowly went toward Arthur. He did not believe for him to lose the fight, so he wasn’t feeling like ending it too fast.
It was his playing ground, and Arthur would have to endure long enough to satisfy his desires.
He stopped right in front of Arthur, but before he could say something, Arthur tossed the necklace Skye gave him!
That necklace acted like a magnet, going directly toward the man and gluing itself on him!
“What is this? Wait, this necklace…”
The man found the necklace familiar, yet could not find out where it came from. Not during a fight, at least.
“But a piece of jewelry will not change your fate, Arthur.”
The man prepared his spear, yet a strange change inside his body made him stop. It was like a pump which send pain all over his body, and a feeling of weaknesses.
“No way, this… this is draining my energy!”
A smile could be seen on Arthur’s face. His plan of using the necklace Skye gave him worked!
“Was she trying to protect me against them?” Arthur thought, but quickly focused on the fight once again.
The necklace was draining the man’s energy, but it was not something instantaneous. He was still way stronger than Arthur, and now that a time bomb was planted on him, he would try his best to end the fight as quickly as possible!
If Arthur had that line of thought, his adversary also had!
“I really wanted to play with you, but now you are dead!”
He grasped his spear, and then twisted his body, making circular movements. Small snowflakes appeared, merging with the wind created by his circular spear attacks, turning into a blizzard!
The wind blew into Arthur’s body, and it was so strong it made him retreat a few steps, but that was not the worst part of the attack. Cold, a cold that was turning Arthur into a frozen statue!
After both of his legs were completely frozen, the man stopped circling with his spear, and dashed toward Arthur instead, piercing it through his belly!
It did not matter if Arthur had his dragon scales or not; the spear pierced through him like butter, creating a hole big enough for one to see through him!
A stream of blood and agony! It was not the first time Arthur faced death, but he was sure this time it would be almost impossible for him to escape with his life!
The man was not playing around anymore, and even though his Celestial Energy was being drained, the power he had was at the rank 2 level. Actually, it was almost at the peak of it!
Only an avatar of that man was enough to end Arthur’s life. The difference between them was immense. Even in death, the desire for power for Arthur had increased.
It was a pity that feeling alone would not save his life.
“You fought well. This necklace took me by surprise, and I am afraid if I can’t get this out of me than this avatar will die… Well, I only use it to play with the mortals, so not a big deal at all!”
He lift his arm up high, piercing his spear once again, but this time, the destination was Arthur’s heart!
