Chapter 1001 - It's My Victory
Chapter 1001 – It’s My Victory
Arthur expected to have a clash with the dark angel grandmaster once he passed the hole. But he never expected to find himself trapped inside such a scary portal, a portal linked directly to the higher realm of that enemy.
This meant he was on the losing side here. The enemy wouldn\'t let him go unscathed from this clash and would come fiercely for his life.
That was why Arthur didn\'t hesitate to think of the most brutal way to crush this portal. He didn\'t aim just to escape, but also to inflict some damage to that hard enemy.
In front of his eyes, the black curtains were summoned. Portals of Gege didn\'t last more than five seconds here, but it was enough to let the curtains pass through and float in the middle of the portal.
As for triggering these ticking bombs, Arthur wasn\'t worried about that. He trusted his enemy to attack anything he threw at him, and that was what happened.
The dark angel mage exerted immense pressure over the curtains once they were out. When he realized what they were, it was too late for him to withdraw his energy.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Many curtains which were brought out first exploded under this pressure. The explosion was really powerful enough to make Arthur see nothing in the world but purple.
"Bring out the ores… Now!" he curled himself up while trying to cover his body with his purple wings. This wasn\'t enough, he knew that. So he asked Gege to start summoning the ores now.
The portals she tried to bring nearby were crushed in no time, so she had to open the portals higher than Arthur\'s level and let the ores fall around him.
Despite the series of explosions here, the dark angel mage seemed to control himself better than what Arthur thought before.
"But that won\'t last for long, bastard!" Arthur gnashed his teeth and endured the pain that started to come from the purple energy.
This time he wasn\'t just facing one curtain\'s explosion, but many. Up till now over a hundred curtains exploded, creating what he could consider as a mass destruction explosion on the level of an apocalypse.
He sustained injuries before the purple ores started to gather around his body, helping in shielding him a little. However even them seemed to have their limited capacity.
"C\'mon bastard!" Arthur gritted his teeth and tried to endure with all his might. It was a battle against time, against whoever would consume his energy and break up first.
Despite being in the center of that scary explosion, Arthur wasn\'t worried. After all his goal from the start wasn\'t that enemy, but this portal here.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
In less than one minute the portal started to crack under the effect of the explosion. The portal kept releasing popping sounds that kept increasing with time.
"Almost there," the portal seemed to crush at any moment now. However, just at this point, the sudden gush of the dark angel mage\'s energy flooded in and started to amend some of the damage.
"Bring more…" Arthur said in a deep tone, "bring all you can to crush this bastard."
\'But…\'
"Do it!"
Gege was worried about his safety. The attempts of the dark angel mage were futile. After all, his energy was crushed midway by the purple energy and his repair efforts were halted in the middle.
But that enemy kept releasing more waves of energy, something that alarmed Arthur.
"He is trying to buy time," this was what Arthur felt and the answer that popped in his mind decided his next course of action. "That bastard… he is after the core that controls this base. If he got it, then he can use it to turn another island into a commanding base."
That meant all this would be pointless and Arthur had to take the trouble to look at this base again and try to destroy it. But trying to repeat things the same way would do, as that grandmaster would react in a different way.
So Arthur decided not to let him get away with what he wanted here. Gege took out more curtains that instantly exploded under the effect of the purple energy acting berserk around.
Then the purple energy got a sudden gush in strength and intensity that made even Arthur roar out of pain.
"C\'mon," it was now a race against time. He didn\'t want his enemy to move and get that core. He was pretty sure that the core was neary, inside this portal.
However the purple energy was interfering with the ability of the grandmaster to take it back. That was the only reason behind that pointless release of successive waves from that bastard.
As Gege kept pouring out curtains, the ferocity of the purple energy became uncontrollable for the grandmaster. It started to erode the dark angel\'s energy and crush everything in its path.
A bright purple light erupted that turned into white from the extreme brutality of the explosion. Arthur was thrown in the middle of the portal like a broken kite, unable to control his body at all.
\'Take him inside!\' the golden dragon shouted in urgency but I didn\'t agree.
"Don\'t," I firmly said while my voice was burdened with my pain and wounds, "I have to get that core no matter what!"
I had to see it crush and be wasted by my two eyes. Or else how could I be relieved?
The others knew what I was thinking about. Despite their worry, they realized I paid a lot to just reach this stage.
If I made any mistake now, that distasteful enemy wouldn\'t miss the chance. It wasn\'t acceptable and so I kept myself inside the portal and got lashed out by the purple energy.
The more I stayed, the more wounds I got. The pain was starting to become unbearable while I started to wonder when that damn bastard would give up, would break up, would lose!
"Crash!"
The answer didn\'t take longer than five more minutes as the entire portal was smashed and all the remaining energy of that dark angel was consumed and eaten away. The next moment I saw a big hall that seemed to be in here from the beginning of everything.
In the middle I saw an altar that rose for ten meters with something shiny in the top of it. Without even asking, I flipped my wings with extreme pain and exhaustion and let my body fall over that core before shutting down my eyes.
I went unconscious after this exhaustive battle. As for the core, I trusted my three helpers would know what to do best about it.
This time… This time it was my victory… again!
