LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 161: Arthur and Nymph Tribe
Arthur looked back. He could not see what the response of the Nymphs was as it was blocked by their illusory wall of rain. Still, Arthur suspected they could see this from inside the illusory dome.
One of the men raised his eyes, seeing the red title clearly displayed above Arthur's head, the mark of a murderer. The man glanced right and left, as if gesturing to signal something.
'They will attack me. I've read their moves,' Arthur explained.
"Get out of my way!" said the team captain, delivering a crushing blow of golden lightning at Arthur.
Not only him, but five others delivered their attacks to Arthur with various talents. Arthur stretched his right hand forward, summoning purple magic that enclosed him in a powerful protective sphere.
Despite their unified strength, the team captain was astonished by Arthur's protective sphere. The five men still couldn't break the barrier, even to create a crack was difficult.
Unexpectedly, one of the seven men finished chanting a special spell to neutralize the distortion of place due to the illusion of space.
Arthur turned his head and stared at the man, he could stop the illusory ability created by the Nymph race.
The magic of the man in the green and white uniform worked, the rain stopped and the location of the Nymph village filled with beautiful and sexy women was displayed before them.
Thalenia and Miki were watching Arthur, as were the other women of the Nymph race.
"I knew it! That human brought bad luck to all of us," Nyxie replied, fuming with sharp eyes.
Nyxie and two other women flew into the sky to kill Arthur and defeat the seven men who had come to invade their village.
The man who had managed to break the Nymph's rain illusion threw a magic flare into the sky, sending a message to the other members to come.
Arthur saw the green magic beacon message, burning brightly above the forest sky that anyone could see as far as the eye could see. Arthur clicked his tongue, feeling his position cornered with discomfort.
"Rasputin, Khan, I need your help," Arthur explained.
[Servant Activated]
[Soul Servant]
[2. Gregori Rasputin]
[3. Genghis Khan]
[MP -36000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 1294000/1375000] [-36000]
The figures of two soul servants appeared to the right and left of Arthur, the sight was more than enough to shock the people in the place.
Arthur gave the order to Gregori Rasputin to use his persona talent to protect the Nymph's village, while Genghis Khan would be tasked with fighting off the invading members of the green-and-white uniform group.
"Explode!" Arthur shouted.
[Damage +24500]
[Damage +17850]
[Damage +20500]
[Triple Combo! Great!]
He clenched his fist and caused his protective sphere to explode powerfully, accompanied by an intense wave of purple magic all over the place.
The seven people were taken aback by Arthur's ability, an explosion of a protective sphere was able to deal massive damage to them. They began to reconsider their plan.
Nyxie, Philise, and Nerisha were pushed quite far down. Philise was injured and immediately consumed HP Potion, unlike Nyxie and Nerisha who had high endurance.
They saw a strikingly dressed man standing right in the middle of the Nymph village. The man was seen forming a hand formation and directing his talent persona upwards and then exploded with a loud bang.
The boom created a red dome that covered an entire section of the Sylph rainforest, making the illusion of place stronger than the Sylph race's rain illusion.
The people in the village began to realize that Arthur was not the evil man they thought he was.
Arthur looked back, then smiled broadly. The rainforest was once again covered by thick fog and roaming monsters.
The mist and monsters were part of the illusionary magic, as long as Rasputin was there, the humans would not be able to touch the Nymphs.
Arthur refocused his attention forward, seeing dozens of members of the same group flying toward the magic beacon location.
Genghis Khan smiled, sitting proudly on his great horse with both hands holding his two curved swords.
"This is my fight!" declared Genghis Khan.
Their ignorance of Genghis Khan's identity made them easy to defeat. With the Army Project ability, Khan fought them with the projection of a large army behind his back.
Nyxie, Philise, and Nerisha were pulled by Thalenia to enter Rasputin's illusory dome of protection. The woman asked carefully about Arthur's identity, Thalenia began to explain who Arthur really was to the three women.
Arthur was still fighting against the seven with his purple magic ability. Against weak adventurers like them, Arthur didn't need talents to defeat them.
The manipulated form of purple magic was enough to leave them fatally wounded —not to death.
The man swung his hand from right to left, creating a straight line horizontally which opened up manipulation magic in the form of purple sword strokes in the hundreds. The swords shot fast and strong with magical pressure towards the seven people.
They didn't try to avoid it, but rather blocked it with their magic. The clash of the two magics occurred and caused a strong magical turmoil above the sky of the Sylph rainforest.
Nyxie and the others looked up, not expecting the person they were fighting to be a Venerable Sage. Thalenia told them about Arthur's true abilities, one of which was his ability to single-handedly destroy a large human city.
"But he's a human, why would a human kill a human?" asked Nyxie.
"You don't know the true nature of that race at all. They are greedy, arrogant, and spiteful."
"During the time you were here, I saw all their true traits. If I had to compare, Nymphs are much better than them," Thalenia replied.
"But I discovered something else when I was with Arthur. His demeanor makes me curious about the ideal human being," Thalenia said.
"Don't tell me you like him, Thania?" asked Miki.
Thalenia smiled in response to Miki's words, her face flushed with her eyes looking intently at Arthur's back.
Although she had been with him for several months, there was a certain feeling growing in Thalenia's heart.
It was because Arthur had voluntarily fulfilled her wishes: to meet Miki and to meet the Nymph race. Those two things were more than enough to show that Arthur was a good person.
BOM!
The explosion was created when the defensive magic of seven people failed to hold back Arthur's purple magic sword.
They were fatally wounded by the tip of the powerful magic sword blade, damage panels popping up in front of Arthur.
[Damage +54200]
[Damage +67580]
[Critical +87500]
[Damage +65200]
[Four Combos! Great!]
Although it wasn't as much damage as when using talents, the attack was more than enough to repel the group away from the Sylph forest.
That's right! An order came from their captain telling their members to leave. Genghis Khan seemed to chase after them with his army projection, but Arthur asked him to turn back.
"No need. Let them realize that I will guard this place," Arthur replied.
He looked back, flying low into the forest environment. The walls of Rasputin's illusory dome were crossed by Arthur, the man's figure now present as he flew over the village, gazing intensely at them all.
"Who's in charge here?" asked Arthur, his voice echoing strongly.
Nyxie flew up to Arthur, then bowed her head in apology. She had guessed wrong, Arthur wasn't as evil as she thought. Arthur didn't mind that, all they had to think about was how to survive.
"This place is already known by humans. You should migrate to another forest immediately," Arthur replied.
Nyxie looked to the side, at Philise and Nerisha. Both responded by shaking their heads, not wanting to leave their village. Nyxie made the same decision as them.
"Alright. It's your decision."
Arthur stood just above the ground while glancing up at the sky, seeing that Rasputin's illusory talent would not last long.
Having no other choice, Arthur had to create a magic gem for the protection of this place.
"Let me stay here for the night. I'll make a high-level artifact that can protect you from any human magic attack."
Nyxie smiled, nodding in agreement as she invited Arthur to enter one of the bamboo dome houses, "You are more than welcome here, Arthur."
