Chapter 330

"COUGH COUGH L-LET ME G- COUGH"

The girl's face turned red as she choked due to Arthur's firm and strong grip, which was slowly killing her .

With a cold look on his face, Arthur stared at this seemingly harmless girl while his his hand, which was making contact with the other party's skin was releasing a large amount of Dark Magic which invaded her body and started weakening her and consuming her vitality . He wasn't satisfied with just that as he released three Detonators a third of their normal size, the creepy looking fireballs entered the girl's chest which made her panic even more .

Her screaming was futile so she started calling for help, instead

"Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

As she requested help, a fast shadow flew straight at Arthur, however, before it could collide with him, it was sent flying far away from the village .

The force behind the attack the shadow just received was truly monstrous as it disappeared from the little girl's view and flew for a couple of miles before this individual somehow managed to stabilize his body once it crashed on the ground .

"What the hell? I didn't even see who attacked me . "

The man, who was supposed to be the girl's father, touched his head then looked at his bloodied hand with a stupefied expression .

As he was focused on Arthur, who surprisingly is stronger than their expectation, he wasn't even able to sense or notice the one who attacked him .

"It surely wasn-"

As he lifted his head to stare at the direction of the village, his instincts alerted him of the incoming danger . Unfortunately, his reactions were just too slow as Lucy appeared before him with a very chilling and cold aura surrounding her .

By the time he reacted, the thin and soft white saber of Lucy had already created three holes in his body . Just like the girl, he manipulated time and attempted to freeze it so he could retreat or counter-attack but the results were beyond his expectation .

The rising dust which was supposed to freeze in mid-air due to the temporary time-stop was only frozen for half a beat before an explosive amount of Yin Energy was released from Lucy .

The pure Yin Energy literally froze everything in its way, the time-stop was canceled and the whole area was turned into a snowy field . The ground was turned into ice and countless snowflakes filled the sky .

The 'father' couldn't escape from this as ice covered his abdomen all the way to his legs and no matter how much he tried to break it, he couldn't, especially when the enemy was standing before him with her saber only an inch away from his throat .

"If I sense any reaction from you then consider yourself dead . "

'Isn't this supposed to be some backwater planet . . . '

The man inwardly cursed whoever led him to this place . At first, when he assessed Lucy, he discovered that she's decently strong but at most, she's a little Sovereign .

As for Arthur, he was also a strange existence but due to his special Race, the man couldn't see through the parasite and speculated that his power was on par with the silver-haired woman .

. . . . . . .

Back to Arthur and the little girl, who became more uneasy and afraid when she saw the man sent flying far away and not coming back even after a minute has passed .

"Don't expect your 'daddy' to come to help you, he's in a position even worse than yours . "

The more she stared back at this grey-haired man, the more fearful she became . His pupil which was flashing with a grey light made her feel as if it was sucking her soul out of her body .

Moreover, the ominous magic that invaded her body rendered unable to use her Time manipulating abilities .

As Arthur weakened his grip a bit, the little girl was able to talk properly at last . However, her face was extremely pale and her body was shaking nonstop due to the Dark magic that weakened her body and the Natural Lightning which was tightly wrapped around her heart, ready to burst it at a moment's notice .

Arthur put three precautions, the first being the detonators which will turn her into a meat paste, the second is the Dark Magic which will consume her slowly but surely . Last but not least is the vibrating Natural Lightning, currently, it's stronger than ever and usually, it's barely noticed by his opponents .

"W-what do you want?"

"What do I want? Aren't you the one who cockily provoked me?"

When she heard his response, she became flabbergasted and retorted

"What!? I never provoked you! I only asked you a simple question?"

Arthur sighed and said one final thing before he waved his hand, teleporting himself and his captive to where Lucy is .

"I hate being looked down onto . What I hate even more is haughty people who think they are some hot shit but end up being worse than trash . "

. . . . . .

The man tried talking to Lucy a few times but was flatly ignored as the woman coldly stared at him and didn't even drop her guard albeit already immobilizing him and injuring him a few times .

. . . . . .

Shortly after, Arthur appeared next to Lucy with a little girl floating behind him . The frail figure was knocked unconscious as Arthur couldn't handle her high-pitched voice and the annoying attitude .

He wasn't worried that Lucy would be overpowered, in fact, against the middle-aged man, she didn't even need to go all out to be able to capture him alive .

As he saw Arthur, the one he was supposed to hit a while ago, appear before him, the man started becoming restless, especially after seeing the little girl in such a helpless state .

He was only slightly stronger than her so if she was subdued like that and in such a short amount of time then Arthur's power is on par with this mysterious woman, if not stronger .

"What did you to her?"

The man tried to keep a composed expression and calmly asked Arthur, however, his voice betrayed his intentions as it was a bit shaky from the fear and anxiousness he was feeling .

When he came to this planet, never did he expect to stumble upon two monsters like these two . In fact, his only goal for coming here is to lead the undead away from his home, his meeting with Arthur was purely coincidental .

"I'm the one asking questions here, not the other way around . "

Arthur didn't wait for the man to retort before adding

"Are you the cause of the sky-rocketing number of the undead?"

The man merely stared at Arthur without giving a reply . Unfortunately, neither Lucy nor Arthur were the merciful type .

Arthur walked up to the girl and pressed his hand on her forehead and started pouring large amounts Dark Magic in her head . This caused the girl to forcefully wake up and start screaming loudly while trying to break free from Arthur's hand .

After hearing the girl scream for ten seconds or so, the man was forced to intervene and answer Arthur's question

"Fine fine! I'll answer so will you stop that? Can't you see she's just a little girl?"

Lucy snorted and Arthur grinned and shifted his attention back to the captive . His grey pupil was giving the chills to the man, who took a deep breath and said

"We are the ones who brought the undead and the group that already came is but a small portion of the whole legion . "

Arthur remained silent for a while before he coldly said

"No matter your purpose, I want you to leave this planet sooner or later . For the undead that already came here, let them be . . as for the rest, don't bring them here . I don't know how you got here but you'll destroy the portal leading here and never come here or talk about what happened here . "

As he listened to Arthur, the man actually grinned and said

"What makes you think that we'll not bring more people if you were to release us?"

Arthur had too much shit to take care of and he can't afford to deal with an extra problem which will probably lead to many complications . With his revenge, 'X''s monitoring and finding the materials necessary to repair Makaze . There was also the matter with Lucy's origin, which is a thing he must uncover as it seemed to trouble her a lot .

An orange fireball with a very creepy face appeared before the bound man . He stared at this detonator, which was triple his size, with a confused expression before that confusion turned into absolute dread and astonishment .

That same detonator flew away from the four people until it disappeared from their view and with a signal from Arthur, who snapped his fingers . An ear-deafening explosion occurred far away but the damage caused by it still reached them . It created a humongous crater where sand kept filling it only to be burned by the remnant flames .

The crater had a radius of a kilometer and the blackened ground and the dark red flames brought intense fear and chills to the man, who had his jaw wide open and his eyes filled with disbelief .

"Just to be sure, I'm going to put five of them in you . Were you to try anything, trust me, they'll explode on the spot . "

Arthur made sure that the five detonators that will enter the man will explode the moment anything tries to pull them out or try to destroy them . They'll also detonate if the man or the little girl returns to Earth a second time .

. . . . . .

With an ugly expression displaying on his face, the man took the unconscious little girl and left the area after promising not to return . Though they caused a huge mess by bringing this many undead, Arthur wanted to keep them to pressure the IHO and show the humans residing peacefully in their expensive homes what fear really is .

Of course, he isn't going to actively attack them, the undead is more than enough to do the job and he'll only intervene if it's really necessary .

With nothing more to do in this place, Lucy and Arthur returned to Korea with one swift teleportation .
