Chapter 295 - Sending Farewell Gifts Everywhere
Any star now would require at least four hours to be cleared out, making him waste the day and half he previously had on clearing out almost clearing out nine stars, leaving three of one cluster and seven of another cluster untouched yet!
Ten pillars, that was all he missed right now, and the system just said, not letting him even rest for a single moment:
"Ding! Just a reminder, you have only one day left."
"Don\'t you see I\'m whipping my as* here to get this done?"
"Ding! The clock is Ticking... Tick Tock... Tick Tock..."
"..."
As the system was such a pain, Arthur added again, emphasizing on his efforts:
"I know the remaining time and things on stake here. I\'m not slacking, y\'know!"
"Ding! Making a great effort is admirable, but if not with the desired results it would be in vain and worth nothing. Be smart, don\'t work stupidly hard!"
Arthur knew the system was telling the truth, and he wasn\'t that desperate yet to be frustrated over such words. In fact, the words of the system right now gave him new inspiration. He turned to observe the remaining stars with shining eyes and an evil face!
The remaining stars were doomed to be not taken by him through here. He might jump over one star, preventing anyone from taking it, but this would be all. He wouldn\'t be able to touch another star through here.
"So why don\'t I give them a farewell fiery message?" he smirked evilly before taking out his bow and arrows, and the next minutes he kept firing hundreds of his arrows towards each star.
To unlock any star they needed to reach for the portal and close it themselves. That meant they would lower their guards, or that what he just hoped them to do.
So he sent in this many numbers of his arrows of extermination, plus two doomsday arrays to each star, before finally jumping into one of them.
He selected one that belonged to the almost finished eight star cluster, so he would shorten the time needed here and make sure the resistance coming from the outside would be weaker than the other cluster where Tina and Sara were guarding.
As he stepped into the world, he was met with a world full of devastation and ruins. "Great, that means many will end up the same way, right? Time to gather more pillars before they retaliate," he loudly laughed before directly heading towards the pillar, taking it out in no time, reappearing again in the star map.
"Three stars are dead, that means others will follow soon," he just casually glanced at this, as he hurriedly hopped into the next star, finding the same ruins and silence there, before he took the pillar and went to the next and last one in this eight cluster of stars.
"Phew I luckily made it, thanks to your system," the moment he went to the star map, he found that the other stars inside the remaining cluster were dying off one by one.
"Another farewell gift, don\'t blame me, I\'m just generous," he smirked evilly as he launched dozens of arrows towards the last three stars, while trying to jump into one of them, but his timing was slightly off and couldn\'t reach there in time.
"No problem, at least my gifts were warmly received, hahaha," he laughed, alone, while standing in this dying star map, with no shining star out there. all stars were pitch black now, but his own controlled stars had that dark luster, while those belonged to his enemies had a grayish black gloomy look.
"Even in dying you look so hideous, sigh!"
He glanced over the place, feeling himself standing in a graveyard. "System, what will happen to this star map? Who owns it now?" he asked, as he wouldn\'t be totally safe if his enemies had a backdoor or something to hack this map and be able to roam freely in his own belongings!
"Ding! The current star map is ownerless."
The reply of the system was short and vague, not really replying on Arthur\'s doubts. "How can I make it mine?" he asked.
"Ding! By completely taking all the pillars attached to it," the system reply made Arthur link the request with this star map, not believing his ears as he asked again:
"Don\'t tell me you gave me this quest for just this star map?"
"Ding! It\'s not a normal star map, the Dorfis dark clan is simply stupid and ignorant."
"Then what is it?"
"Ding! It\'s too early for you to know."
"No tips or gossips at all?" he didn\'t lose hope in knowing more from his system, as his curiosity was really piqued this time by the system words.
"Ding! Without it you can aspire to be a strong man, but with it you can turn into a mighty dragonair, one with no equal!"
"hmm…" he muttered to himself before adding with a beaming smile, "that aspiration of yours for me is really admirable! I like that, and I won\'t fail you."
"Ding! Failing me means failing yourself."
"Alright, no time to waste then. I will go to the girls and end this long struggle now."
He didn\'t delay jumping into the star guarded by the two girls. However, as he entered there, he didn\'t hurry towards the portal, as he first headed towards the portals of the four stars, used couple of his arrows to clear the hostile, before sending double of his doomsday arrays and dozens of his arrows towards the portal before finally sealing it.
"This is my farewell gift for you, be happy and die well until I see you again in the after life, hehehe," he loudly shouted this sentence before he closed any of the four portals.
As the next war was the war he needed to focus most on, he took a random tour around the place and made sure things were under total control here.
Then he directed any extra warriors towards the portal of the last war, while promising those who came to join him to free them once he finished this war.
And they all just nodded and gladly accepted his personal promise, a promise of such a legendary figure in their world meant everything to those weak and oppressed people.
"My last pillars, here I come for you."
He smiled, with much excitation and anticipation, as he went directly towards the portal. midway, he grabbed his four summoned dragons. They weren\'t yet fully purified, but they got many boost in strength by staying here for this time.
"Back when I was a cultivator, only laying down and cultivating wasn\'t a good thing. Every now and then one should go out and explore the world, strengthen his knowledge of his new gained power and stabilize it. they needed this now, caring too much for them isn\'t that good," he said to himself as he was recalled by this new ability he totally forgot about.
He was reminding himself to use the ability, and as such, just in front of the portal, he took out a dozen corpses of his ring as he was ready to use his dragomancer ability once again!
