Emperor of Steel

Chapter 759: Arsene’s Mistake 3

In midst of the unprecedented battles going all over Bless, there were a few people who were watching it from a distance.

Unfortunately, the ones who were far away and keeping eyes on the battle were Johas and the warlocks of Black Tower.

They all had good intentions, but as long as they held Magi in them, they couldn’t be close to the amplification magic circle of the Avenger which was emitting powerful Divine power.

If they did, they would be the first to die before the Undead.

“This is pathetic, we have no choice but to watch this!”

“But, I do think we did as much as we could.”

Despite the constant encouragement and consolation from the elder of Black Tower, the disappointment and regret in Johas’s mind didn’t vanish.

He felt very horrible as neither he nor his disciples were able to participate in the war which was going to make a place for itself in history.

But then, he saw something, something which made him shocked.

“Uh, that is?”

“What is Meister?”

“Look over there, the thing in front of Your Majesty’s Gigant.”

A black sphere was at the place where Johas pointed.

Even in the dazzling light, the darkness of a source could be seen very clearly.

“Isn’t that Arsene? I saw earlier that the veil of darkness was used to stop His Majesty’s Divine power from touching him.”

“Yes, I saw it. But that...”

A little ominous feel.

His disciples and his subordinates didn’t seem to notice it because the Divine power spread all over Bless, but Johas felt a small amount of energy move in the darkness.

‘Is there any power that Arsene has hidden from us?’

He was shocked when he saw Arsene turn into a Dragon, but was there anything else other than that?

As Johas looked at it with an anxious gaze, the dark veil surrounding Arsene began to break apart.

Crack! Crack!

It didn’t break because of not being able to withstand the Divine power emitted by Avenger.

Whatever was inside—it was trying to break out.

Crack! Shatter-!

With an instant blast, the veil broke open and Arsene with a new transformation appeared.

“That?”

Luke, who continued to amplify the Divine power using Avenger, narrowed his eyes to see Arsene’s new form.

His upper body seemed thicker and harder than a dragon’s scales, and two pairs of wings attached to his back.

Both his arms now had sharp claws and large pincers, with a tail and a sharp stinger attached to the end.

This appearance seemed to be half-human and half scorpion.

“Kuk, look at this, this is the evolution of the Ghost Armor, Gorgos!”

Arsene looking down at himself shouted with an elated expression.

While he was absorbing the Dragonian powers, his Ghost armor, Gorgos too had increased, and what everyone saw was the evolved armor.

“I thought it would be a great transformation, but it is just a lizard and some bug.”

Luke made fun of it, but he knew that the new transformation was something to look out for.

It was because the black circle of Arsene which was still giving out Magi was taking a toll on Luke’s Divine power, and the dragon form was overwhelming to see.

It was clear that Arsene had a new form of armor that could completely block out the Divine power.

“Kuakk! Unlike your words, I can see you tense up. Luke, I will put an end to this!”

Raising his hand, Arsene created hundreds of Black Spear above his head.

Luke was nervous about Arsene doing some unknown assault, yet his heart seemed calm.

No matter how many Black Spears were being used, it was hard to control them and hit the target.

Moreover, due to the Divine Power which was in the air, the Black Spear created by Arsene wasn’t in full power.

“Well, where are you going to use...”

Luke’s face, which had a smile, changed.

It was because the hundreds of Black Spears which Arsene had created flew to the allies in the sky and the ground, not towards Luke.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

“W-what is this?”

“Avoid... Ack!”

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people got struck by the Black Spear and fell.

Although a few barely avoided it, the Death Knight and Lich would hit them and the allies fell.

“Kuek! Arsene, you coward...!”

“Woohoo! Luke, you have a lot of protection. But can you really protect all of them?”

As if trying to launch another attack, Arsene unleashed hundreds of Black Spears once again.

To avoid the same result, Luke deployed Thousand Holy Bullets to intercept the Black Spears.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the sky, where the Black Spear and Holy Bullet collided, it caused countless explosions.

‘Kuak, got caught!’

While Luke turned overly concerned about keeping allies safe, Arsene used Blink and struck Avenger with his huge hands.

Cang-crack!

“You...!”

“Kuakk, you are a person with too many duties. It doesn’t matter if you turn a blind eye to those who fall.”

Arsene burst into laughter and put strength into the pincers which were holding Avenger.

Crrrrk!

The power in the pincers was so strong that the armor on Luke’s Avenger began to distort.

Kiiing!

Luke wasn’t in shock either. He tried to get Avenger out of Arsene’s grip.

“KuakuK! I can’t kill you, who uses Divine power with black magic. But what if I used the Dragonic aura to the maximum?”

The scary words of Arsene ended with the red Dragonic aura fluttering around his body.

The searing flames like the dragon’s breath erupted from the pincers which were holding Luke’s Avenger.

Crack!

Avenger, which was covered in the flames, heated up very quickly.

The armor made of Gigantium alloy began to melt too.

“Arsene, you!”

“Hahaha! Scream more, Luke! If you don’t want to die, escape from that scrap!”

Luke wasn’t a saint or a High priest to radiate powerful Divine power in the absence of the Gigant’s core engine.

So Arsene realized that if he smashed down Luke’s Avenger, he would be able to cut down Luke’s Divine power by half.

“Were you trying to get rid of my Avenger? You misjudged it, Arsene.”

Luke, who seemed to be in shock and fluster, suddenly spoke in a grim voice.

While Arsene was still holding on, the Divine power which was being released from the Avenger broke down like a lie, and soon a great light began to shine around the Avenger.

“Th-that is!”

“Build-up 3rd phase!”

Once Luke used Build-up, the abilities he absorbed from a demon, Avenger began to exert power which exceeded the power of the core engine.

He grabbed the pincers and broke them open.

Crack!

“This!”

As the pincers broke, Arsene moved back.

However, Luke’s counterattack had just started. Immediately, he exerted the ability of the demon Kauren.

“Thunder Bringer!”

A purple lightning bolt left from his left hand and hit Arsene’s body.

“Kuakk!”

Because the distance between them was so close, Arsene could only scream and not avoid the attack.

In fact, Luke had deliberately created a gap a moment back, to bring in Arsene. He was worried that Arsene would go over to the humans or the fairies if he couldn’t attack Luke.

Even though it meant taking some damage, Luke decided to take on Arsene in close combat and somehow, it worked out wonderfully.

“This is the standard way to kill bugs!”

Crack!

Luke pulled out the pincer which was stuck onto Avenger, and then went to attack Arsene in succession.

Pop! Bang! Pop! Bang!

It wasn’t just punching, he was using the skill of Hwang Bo-sung, Trinity Martial Punch. However, the Tekken used by Luke only differed in the aspect that it used Divine power and not Mind-Keep.

Luke made the transition to Aether Globe very quickly from using Divine power in one punch and Magi in the other.

Arsene couldn’t wake up to the attacks which were being used against him.

If the Dragonic Aura was to be stopped, the Magi punch would get absorbed, and the Divine power would explode the Magi which was seeping in.

Moreover, the power of the Gigant was strong.

The heavy metal was smashing things with high speed and power, just a single blow would take down the mountain.

‘But this evolved Ghost Armor Gorgos will never break...’

Crack!

In a moment, Avenger’s fist broke through the thick upper layer.

“Kuak!”

Arsene screamed at the pain of his armor being broken through.

Normally, he was a Lich, and he couldn’t feel physical pain.

After taking over Shaikan’s body, it changed, yet, in the Libiya Kingdom, he never encountered any enemy who could threaten him.

So, the pain and the bones cracking was a strange feeling for Arsene.

He had never been through such pain, even when he was a human, 500 years back.

But what shocked him to the core was that Gorgos’ armor, which had absorbed the Dragonian power, was destroyed.

The newly evolved Ghost Armor was excellent enough to block out the Divine power from touching him.

But then, it suddenly broke down.

“Kuak... how did it break! Why?!”

“Did you really think that it could endure attacks in succession?”

When a hot steel cooled suddenly, it would break.

Luke thought that the Ghost Armor of Arsene was the same.

Even if he wasn’t sure about what it was made of, he decided to try Magi and Divine power, which were the contradicting energies of the world and hit him.

To do so, he had to switch the Aether Globe at high speed.

Which was excruciatingly painful and difficult, but Luke managed to hold on.

All because he wanted to defeat Arsene.

“No, let’s finish this.”

“Kuak, damn it!”

When Gold aura shone from the giant Avenger Sword of Luke’s, Arsene’s face distorted.

When he stole the power of the Dragonian and created the Advanced Undead, he thought he wouldn’t face anymore troubles.

Which was why he didn’t retreat even after he looked at the trap Luke had placed in Bless.

But it was an obvious misjudgment.

The moment he realized that this wrong judgment had messed everything up, the golden aura came flying at him.

“Luke de Rakan! I will never dieeeee!”

A scream erupted from Arsene’s mouth.
