Chapter 1120: That One Arrow

Chapter 1120: That One Arrow



The figure in the starry armour not only garnered the attention of Sause, but that of the Null Devil King as well. It had appeared so suddenly that it might as well have been vomited by the blank space above the snowy mountain top.

The armour looked rather sturdy, with two horns growing from the helm, both keeping the stellar aesthetic.

'Where did he come from?' Sause wondered.

The BoneTender, still livid and shaken, made to direct the locusts he had temporarily lost control over just now, towards the figure in the starry armour, but...

Just as quickly as it appeared over him, the figure flashed down, zipping noiselessly behind the Null Devil King and putting him in a double shoulder lock!

...!!!

"NOW!" a voice came from behind the starry helm of the mysterious arrival.

Surprisingly, it was feminine!

Unfortunately, the slight surprise at this detail didn't stagger Sause or the Null Devil King as much as what came next.

From a hundred kilometers away...

No, no... far more than that... perhaps ten times the distance, in fact, a cold presence far more chilling than the cool on the mountain top and the clumps of clouds surrounding it exploded with a domineering intent!

Wherever its exact source was didn't seem to matter in that moment, because its target was all but clear.

...!!!

Sause and the Null Devil King froze.

It was unclear what the nature of the oncoming attack was, but both felt terribly mortified just by thinking about it!

The false Null Devil King made to struggle free from the shoulder lock he was subjected to. It would have been the simplest thing to do with his overwhelming physical strength, but alas... it was too late!

Edagon seemed to sing a sad hymn with its rumbling when whatever horror of an attack announced its ferocious approach!

The snow on the mountain top melted and flared like flame as though as it had become a flammable substance, and the temperature rapidly shot up to an insurmountable degree in the span of a less than a thousandth of a second!

The false Null Devil King sweated. His and Sause's figures were illuminated as the clouds parted from the east, where a thin, yet lengthy ray of ghostly light emerged, firm and focused.

That was all anyone saw, however.

BOOOOOOOM!

Right then, yellowish-red Ju`wtte screeched beside him, and a tall figure appeared.

...!!!

The presence he radiated was so broad, so regal and so vicious that Sause nearly staggered to his knees on instinct.

Aurolio, on the other hand, was smitten awake by the pressure and was dumfounded when he recovered his senses, only to see his body bowing before the four-armed creature on the other

side of the massive chasm on the mountain!

Stylla quivered but remained unconscious.

"I... I see. So, it's you," Sause said when he recognised the vibrance of the soul in the tall creature of smooth, ebony ceramic skin and odd lightning, bearing in its hand and on its shoulder a huge stack of shadows, and what looked like a long, blue, glowing spear.

Replicus looked down at Sause with his smoking, yellow, curved eyes.

"I didn't think you would recognise me. Curious sight you have," he said before extending his blue, glowing spear forward with one of his long arms. "I didn't get a chance to say this, but... It's good to see you again."

The Warmoth's Progeny then did something unthinkable.

He planted the bottom end of his five-meter-long spear in the ground and pressed it with his bare foot. While the whole spear was still standing erect, its other tip pointing at the sky, he drew viciously on a barely visible string attached to the shaft of the spear with another one of

his free hands.

The string strained and sang, but the Warmoth's Progeny continued to draw on it until it the spear bent like a bow. Well, it was a bow in the first place - at least part-time.

A cold feeling then pressed against everything around Replicus as a long, thin, bright arrow appeared, nocking itself on the string he had drawn so far that it was a miracle that it hadn't

snapped!

Sause was shocked.

This arrow! The power behind it was astonishing. No. It was devastating!

What kind of a tool was the creature before him using?!

It wasn't Legendary!

It certainly wasn't Mythical!

So, it was...

Before Sause could think of the correct answer, the Warmoth's Progeny loosened the arrow!
