Chapter 395

In a famous restaurant situated near the large castle belonging to the royalty, Arthur and Lucy were quietly enjoying a delicious meal . Lucy's hair was jet black and some of her facial features were changes . As for Arthur, he was possessing a woman's body, precisely the body he used back when he entered the tomb five years ago .

Though these two women were no kingdom-toppling beauties, they still gathered a few glances from passing youngsters .

There was even a red-haired youth who kept staring at Lucy . She wasn't particularly angry as such things occur frequently, though she was confused about why they were getting this much attention when their appearance was greatly changed .

Lucy forgot to think about their cultivation, they were both Sovereigns and their identity is unknown, so it's pretty normal for normal disciples, who were bored and wanted to make a move on them, to hesitate after sensing the big difference in cultivation .

Only the red-haired youth kept glancing at her and Arthur, who's almost about to flip the table . They came here to investigate the group of Holy Knights, who frequently come to this restaurant .

They'll arrive shortly and the attention they were getting wasn't welcomed . His lips ever-so-slightly shook he was about to use some formless poison to force him into unconsciousness .

Fortunately, the kid's attention transferred to a couple of newcomers . It was an elegant-looking young man wearing a grey robe accompanied by a short girl with a pink and curly hair . There were a few others following them but they seemed like lackeys .

Arthur threw an uninterested glance at them before focusing on his food . His target was the Holy Knights, who are using some strange method to track all the places he had been two the past few weeks . They already visited the Mirage Era Hall and Losha's weapon shop .

He isn't dumb enough to wait for them to ambush him, their intentions weren't good and any enemy must be killer sooner than later . They have five God Monarchs and despite his absolute strength, he must personally inspect them to make sure his plan works flawlessly .

"Brother Artid, Senior Clara . "

The red-haired youth cupped his fists in greeting . The grey-robbed young smiled and sat next to his friend, as for the pink-haired girl, she seemed pretty bored as she slouched on the chair .

She scanned all the customers before her eyes momentarily stopped on the two women sitting a distance away . She frowned and focused her sense but still couldn't gauge their strength .

She let out an excited chuckle and kept staring at the two women for a while before shifting her attention to two figures who just entered the restaurant .

Since Arthur was the one facing the door, the moment he saw those who entered, he put all his efforts in creating a very strong dimensional barrier that greatly decreased Lucy's presence .

Startled by his actions, he used telekinesis to warn her

"Our luck is really bad . Don't spread your sense or grab attention . "

He then described to her the two new customers . One was an old man wearing butler clothes, he had a scar on his face and his cultivation was unfathomable . As for the woman, she strongly resembled Lucy .

In fact, one would say they're twins if not for the beauty spot under her left eye, which added to her charm . Unlike the coldness Lucy usually emits, this woman seemed indifferent to everything and everyone .

When she entered, everyone became talking in low tones while glancing at her . Even Clara, Artid and the red-haired youth didn't dare invite her to their table .

The woman quietly sat on an empty table whilst the old man remained standing .

Arthur clicked his tongue as they sat right to next them .

Inside the ARK, Claud mocked him

'Hahahaha told you that you can't escape such encounters . If you're bound to meet then you'll meet, one way or another . '

Arthur only wanted Lucy to remain undiscovered . White Specters had a certain smell on them and some like that old man would definitely smell her the moment he removed the dimensional barrier .

'It is better to deal with the Holy Knights than the White Specter Clan . '

Arthur fingers, which were under the table, released a few illusory dark strings that latched themselves on the surprised Lucy .

Dark Magic started entering her body, consuming the energy within to further decrease her smell . If her body is devoid of energy, the probability of finding her when she's inside this barrier is minimal .

As long as she doesn't purposely activate her skills or abilities, things should be fine .

Inside the ARK, Claud, who was chuckling to himself, suddenly held his head and crouched on the ground . His mind flashed with several images, each worse than the former . His body started sweating profusely as he panted heavily .

He quickly got up and warned Arthur

"Arthur! Quickly get out of that place but don't take Lucy! Quickly!"

What Claud saw was a prophecy about will happen very soon . It wasn't a good sight as things will become complicated if Arthur were to remain in that restaurant .

Although Arthur didn't know what his copy was on about, he still followed his words . He kept the barrier around Lucy and told her to remain here for a while .

Obviously, she knew better than to arouse suspicion about her . She threw a couple of glances at the silver-haired woman, who's supposed to be her sister as she resembled her too much!

Still possessing the body of the woman, Arthur left the restaurant and entered the alley then spread his sense . Just as his Sixth Sense caught the presence of several people, a dignified middle-aged man appeared before him .

With a domineering presence and strong presence, he stood before Arthur and frowned .

"I don't know how you're able to do it, nonetheless, you'll have to follow me!"

This man was none other than Athard . Moreover, the several presences he felt belonged to the damned Holy Knights . He didn't know how but they got a method that led him right to him .

If he stayed at the restaurant, it would've implicated Lucy, who wouldn't have stayed still .

Athard, full of anger, glared at the tall woman in front of him . His heart was beating rapidly as he finally caught the killer of his son .

Although he was surprised to see a woman instead of Arthur, the artifact the Holy Knights were using was genuine and efficient . They visited him a couple of days ago and inquired about his son's incident .

Though it was disrespectful, they still asked to inspect Visto's dead body, promising him that it's the only clue that'll lead them to the culprit .

They used a strange golden device which flashed with a bright light the moment it got closer to Visto . After a while, it started pointing South-West .

The Holy Knights didn't act immediately, they negotiated an alliance with him, which he agreed upon . They needed the culprit alive, if possible, however, he can cripple his cultivation or torture him before they take him .

'Hmpf! A God Monarch, is it?'

As he received the patriarch's glare, Arthur's hand was faster than his enemy's reaction . It was like lightning as it penetrated the man's stomach and unleashed an absurd amount of death energy and Dark Magic .

Athard's complexion paled as he coughed blood and staggered a few steps . Unfortunately, the moment Arthur acted, five golden figures jumped from all direction, all casting a spell on him .

His eye shone with a bright blue light, stopping time for a couple of seconds . He icily glared at all the incoming enemies before his body transformed into a large white Tiger .

He didn't waste any second as he opened his mouth and spat the deadliest acid in his arsenal . The moment he spat he acid, time took its course again .

Athard and another Holy Knight weren't lucky enough to dodge or resist, which bypassed the Nether Energy wrapped around bodies, trying to shake off the acid .

Since the quantity of acid that landed on them wasn't great, it didn't melt their whole bodies, however, Athard's both legs turned into a puddle of melted meat and bones, truly disgusting .

As for that Holy Knight, who was at the peak Sovereign, the acid bypassed a golden shield he created only to land on his stomach, melting the armor and affecting his Dantian .

Even his Dantian wasn't spared by the acid, which melted his whole waist, leaving him wriggling in the ground .

The four other Holy Knights were fast enough to dodge and back away instead of continuing their attack .

The five God Monarchs still didn't attack . Athard, who was wailing from pain, suddenly halted his shouting, speechless, he stared at the divine beast before him .

Same thing for the retreating four figures . The White Tiger turned illusory as it disappeared from their view, before they could react, the four Sovereigns turned into four mists of blood, not even knowing how they died .

Such a narrow alley could barely fit the White Tiger, which decreased in size . Once Arthur flew in the air, the body expanded to its original size . He could feel five powerful presences following him and forming a circle around him .

The clear blue sky was quickly replaced by dark and clustered clouds that cast a looming shadow on half of the city .

The leader of the Holy Knights, a gentle-looking old man who wore a thick armor, stared at the White Tiger with wariness .

He placed his sword vertically in front of his chest and closed his eyes, praying . The other four did the same thing, causing five pillars of light to penetrate the dark clouds and cause a commotion big enough to alert the people below .

Back at the restaurant, the blinding light that was caused by the five pillars of light caused the customers to get up and leave, wanting to see what's going on .

Though she knew what's going on, Lucy clenched her fists and stared at the gloomy sky, spotting a large White Tiger .
