Chapter 75: The Quest To Save Lily [17]



****

Arthur Milize.

There was not a single person in the human domain that didn't know about him.

Although possessing many feats and titles, there were 2 things that he was best known for.

First. He was the only 10-leaf clovist in the world.

Second. He was the only person in the world that possessed an element that was never seen in history.

And that was the element of [Shadow].

However, this was only the general information that the public knew about his power.

The thing that the public didn't know was that just like Amon, he was a dual elemental clovist.

Meaning, he possessed dual elements. Because of the public not knowing this information, it made them think that dual elementals never existed.

However, it would all be changed from this point now that people like Amon, Ren, and Michael had appeared.

Only a select few people in the human domain knew about him having a second element.

The Emperor and Athena were included in them. Also, the reason why he was placed 1st on the Collective Ranking List.

Because they knew about his second element.

And it wasn't that his second element was a normal one. If it was, then he would have probably been tied with Athena or maybe slightly stronger.

But with his second element, the gap between him and Athena was astronomically large.

It was because his second element was [Time].

Absolute control over [Time] that had been honed throughout the years.

Moving back to the present, Amon had lost consciousness, slumping to the ground with Lily in his arms who had fainted due to heat as well.

He was barely hanging on to the last threads of his life right now.

Ignoring whatever was in front of him, Arthur looked back at the masked man and Lily.

His gaze lingered for a few moments, but then his smirk turned into a gentle smile. "Dumbheads......but I guess that's what I like about you guys heh." He remarked.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling noise cut through the air before suddenly it disappeared.

Or more accurately, it halted.

Arthur looked forward, finding a 1-meter large wind blade inches away from him, completely stopped.

It was encased in a golden transparent chronic shield that had several runes running around the shield horizontally and two watch dials moving clockwise.

His gentle smile turned back into a cocky smirk.

"Oh?" He moved forward, the circle moving away from him accordingly.

He looked around him, finding various ashes and embers still lingering in the air with the stench of blood and flesh tinging the atmosphere in a gory light.

Norman, who was blasted away into a wall, stood up with his spear in hand.

His expression was furious and in disbelief at the same time.

He couldn't believe how his attack had not only been completely disintegrated but the fire had also been completely extinguished.

He had killed all of his slaves just to kill the intruder but now his plans were completely ruined with the arrival of this stranger.

His head was steaming right now.

He then looked back at Norman, who had a shadow sword at his throat now by the previous knight, who stood beside his slumped body.

Arthur took a single glance and then turned to leave.

But suddenly, Norman couldn't bear it anymore. He could not afford to let his business which

had been built over multiple years crumble just like this.

"WAIT! YOU FUCKER!" He shouted, making him turn slightly back with a tap of his cane,

His right golden watch eye met the dirty brown ones of Norman, making a creepy chill run up

his spine again.

But he bore it.

"YOU ALLOWED US TO OPERATE IN THIS AREA! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO FORMED THE

CONTRACT AND ALLOWED US TO DO OUR BUSINESS HERE!"

Arthur remained silent for a few seconds after his yelling.

Then slightly tilted his head in confusion, his cold voice coming out.

"And?"

Norman's mouth twitched in desperation.

"IT WAS A CONTRACT YOU FUCKER. YOU ARE GOING AGAINST IT NOW, THIS ISN'T FAIR!!"

Arthur instantly replied.

"Yes. I made the contract with you guys and now I'm breaking it one of you. It's as simple as that."

Then he turned completely back.

"I think you are mistaking it. It was I who allowed you to work here. If I wanted, I could

eradicate each one of you slum rats in a single minute. You think they would dare to oppose

me?"

For a couple of seconds, there was silence in the room with Norman clenching his hands in anger, blood seeping out of them.

"IT ISN'T FAIR. WHO ARE YOU TO GO AGAINST YOUR TERMS. WHY ARE YOU ALLOWED TO DO THIS? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR!" Norman shouted, tears streaming down his eyes.

Without answering, Arthur turned back to the shadow that was carrying Amon and Lily's

body.

He briefly turned to his other shadows.

"Kill them all."

After that, all of the shadows disappeared and he prepared to descend into the shadows.

But just as the knight was about to slice the neck of Norman, Arthur turned back to meet his

desperate gaze.

"Cause I'm the strongest. And you just happen to be disgustingly weak."

Then he disappeared into the shadows, and a sharp slice was heard in the air.

SLICE!
