Chapter 275
The Copy used the rest of his time to retreat with fast speed as he stepped on illusory pink petals floating in the air, each time crossing a large distance and distancing himself from the impact .
With his back facing the previous battle area, Arthur, who just took back control of his body, nearly fell from the sky as he felt his body become extremely heavy due to the stress and the overwork .
The Copy did things that his body and mind were incapable of achieving, especially with the multitasking, this caused severe backlashes that fell into Arthur’s hands to deal with it .
Arthur could only curse his copy inwardly and retreat away from that place as a blinding white light flashed from the horizon which was soon followed by a tear in space .
The tear swallowed the whole area, whether it was the flames or the Ice, the destruction and everything around it was devoured without any resistance .
Half of the black turtle injured body was gone in an instant, before it could move or launch a counter-attack, it had suffered fatal injuries that’ll kill sooner or later unless it only focuses on healing and ignore everything else, which isn’t doable in such a situation .
In retaliation, the turtle growled with a deep and loud sound before a grey light shot out from its eyes, the light pierced the clouds and transformed into a large bright moon, the sun that was shining above the clouds was gone as night fell on this world and all the clouds vanished, showing only the moon hanging on the sky as it emanated incomparable pressure and a blinding light .
With speed the eye could see, the turtle started healing the missing half of its body, the tear was still devouring it but unfortunately, the healing was way faster .
Furthermore, each second passed, the tear became smaller thus its devouring abilities weakened, this allowed the turtle to temporarily suppress this strange spatial tear .
"Hurry, don’t let it finish healing completely! Stop it!"
His copy’s voice rang in his ears, waking him up from his daze and forcing him to go back . In his current state, apart from some Dark Magic attacks, he could literally do nothing, he felt the heaviness of his body, the difficulty to breath and the aching mind .
His speed decreased by a huge margin so by the time he appeared in the vicinity of the spatial tear, it had already become a third of its original size while the turtle was only lacking its rear limbs and its short tail .
It won’t be long before the Azure Dragon is back, if the turtle recovers then he can’t injure it that easily, not after this . He used all his trump cards, from [Thousand Waves] to [Rizaki], there was no strong attack he didn’t resort to yet this persistent turtle is still alive, even this spatial tear, which could devour a God in an instant, isn’t affecting that much after that bright moon appeared .
Arthur’s eyes flashed with a resolution as he retrieved the box from earlier and took out the exquisite looking silver revolver .
"If I use it again then I’ll not be able to use any Mana or Nether Energy for a long while . . . . It’s either the end for them or me . "
He clenched his teeth and grabbed a grey-ish looking bullet that was only of the second grade . Normally, it is weaker than the one from earlier, however, its might may even be bigger than the flaming rose .
This is due to the materials it was made from, it doesn’t match an attribute, instead, it was made using [Lost Magic] . Using his knowledge of the past and after a bit of experimentation and process of failure and success, he managed to create a very miniature bomb that is highly lethal against any Mortal, even a Spirit Realm cultivator may be heavily injured by this small looking bomb .
After more tries, he managed to merge countless of these bombs together to form a 2nd Grade bullet .
The problem is, not only is it lethal to the target, it’s effective against him too, the harm it could do to him far surpasses Rizaki, this is excluding the backlash from using the revolver a second time, that is, which is why he hesitated for a brief second .
Unfortunately, time waits for no man so he decided to go on with it and fire at the turtle, this will assure his victory but his survival is uncertain, he won’t be able to activate [Death Binding] since he won’t be able to control theNether Energy or Mana after firing the bullet, and if he activates the skill before firing, it’ll only last for only ten seconds, not enough to protect him from the explosion .
He used the remaining of his Mana to create a sturdy Dark Cube that enveloped him, leaving only a small hole from which the bullet will pass through .
The dark cube this time was very resistant to all attack and had extremely high defenses since it was used all of the Mana he had . It’ll at least lessen the damage and protect him for some time, this is his last layer of defense and the only thing separating him from instant death .
Arthur took a deep breath and gazed at the regenerating turtle with a calm and unrestrained look, he lifted the silver revolver and after taking proper aim, he fired without any hesitation .
Two grey circle with a weird rune in them appeared in front of the revolver, they span with slow speed and when the bullet passed through them, they shattered immediately .
The bullet traveled with a speed no God or Sovereign could see, it’s as if it teleported from the revolver to the turtle, after which, a light that illuminated all of the continents appeared .
The light coming from the moon hanging on the sky was instantly extinguished and replaced by the one from the bullet . This was but the beginning as the entirety of Astria, from East to West and from South to North, began shaking violently, some seas were split apart and oceans sank deep down the cracked earth .
Large waves were created due to the earthquake and winds howled from all directions, causing the weather to be more turbulent than ever before .
Arthur didn’t stay there to witness what’s going to happen, the moment he fired the bullet, he turned around and flew with his fastest speed, even ignoring the blood leaking from all his orifices . His bones were cracking and the hands he used to hold the revolver was all bloodied, its very bones were turned into dust and the flesh was peeled off, showing a disgusting sight .
The Dark Cube blocked most of the light caused by the bullet, and as he was hurrying away from that place, he could feel the winds coming from those directions, sharp winds that pushed him even further and causing sparks to appear all over the dark cube .
These were no normal winds but they were lengthy wind blade that fused with invisible sound waves, they stretched to all direction, cutting everything in their sight .
If one looked to where the turtle was, they’ll only see a dim moon that was shattered in two pieces and a mushroom clouds that went even higher than the previous red flaming rose .
The sheer size of this cloud was truly mind-numbing, there were no signs of the turtle, it was as if it completely vanished, leaving nothing but air behind .
The final thing before the big event was an explosive sound that was similar to a loud thunderclap, it reverberated in all corners of the world, causing everyone present to feel numbness in their ears and literally hear nothing around them for the following seconds .
