Chapter 60: Devil in the capital
Even though the cost of using the final trump card was extremely high, it couldn’t be costlier than his own life. Arthur’s hate for these demonic figures had risen to the extreme level; he wanted to slaughter them all at any cost.
"BODY AND MIND, ENERGY AND SOUL, SKY AND EARTH, DEFENSE AND—" Arthur chanted something in haste while forming some kind of symbols with his hands—or whatever was left of his hands.
His energy began to rise rapidly, as golden symbols began to swim around him, not only protecting him but also increasing his strength at a very fast pace.
Hellmancer was already doing its best to greatly restrict the golden knight. Otherwise, Arthur wouldn’t have received several attacks, and he didn’t even get to release any attack of his own. This was because of the great mage, whose chains of restriction still remained wrapped around the knight.
The Demonic Golem was holding back the man in the black robe who had already started to launch attacks from inside. He didn’t hold back and launched one attack after another, gradually weakening the Golem’s defense.
The strange person was slightly stronger than Arthur, so it was taking all of Demonic Golem’s energy to hold back such a strong foe.
The wyrm had already lost all of its energy after that attack and had disappeared, but its attack had undoubtedly greatly weakened Arthur’s physical defense, almost turning him into a meat paste.
The demonic giant couldn’t do much at this point. With its strength, it couldn’t deal much damage to the golden knight— even though he had weakened— but now it seemed he had obtained a strong shield and even his body was getting stronger.
Only Chimera was the one who could still deal great damage to Arthur. But aside from releasing that piercing roar, it wasn’t launching any additional attacks.
The Hellmancer— whose body was trembling because of overexertion— even wondered if this mindless, strongest brother of theirs didn’t understand their master’s command properly.
At this moment, it seemed all their hard work and effort in ambushing him would be wasted. Maybe Vritra only planned to scare them a bit but didn’t actually plan to kill them. The Hellmancer wondered but held on with even more determination.
