Arthur took a deep breath before he tried to control the energy from around. He aimed at the light energies all over the place, totally avoiding the dark ones.
The energy followed his will and started to shift their direction and start gathering around him. "Just like this… easy as a piece of cake," he muttered to himself while trying to delve deeper into that strange feeling.
He was now feeling powerful, so powerful that he could shatter any army from any realm and from any clan at any moment he wanted.
However he found out later on that this wouldn't work.
The energy followed his will, however they didn't rotate around him or attach themselves to his body. The moment he stopped controlling them, the energy returned to its former paths.
And that meant he couldn't fight or use it as he wanted. That also meant he missed something.. 'This isn't what I experienced there…' he thought while deeply contemplating this.
The three beings in his mind hesitated to speak. They didn't know what was going on with him, even Gege. For her, what he was doing and thinking about now were all mere puzzles.
After all, she didn't know what he experienced inside that trial world. They were all shut out from there, and so Arthur was all alone in handling this.
"Is it this?" he hesitated before he decided to give it a shot.
Arthur's appearance went unnoticed among all this chaos thanks to his silence. He didn't do or say anything, and he even didn't turn to his dragonair form.
The dragonair form was now his signature. The moment he would use it, the moment things would change all around. He would announce his presence to his enemies before allies and friends.
However this wasn't the only signature he had, the sword technique of his was also considered one.
And now he was thinking about using the sword technique to augment his control over the energy. After all his trial was all towards his golden pearl energy, the one he used to activate and fuel his phantom sword technique.
If he used it, everyone would notice his presence.
"Screw this, let them know," he decided to go all out. If he was about to be discovered, then he should be well prepared for his enemies with all his weapons.
"Gege… be ready to use the portals at my mark," he said and didn't need to explain further.
Gege already read his mind and was able to get what he wanted to do. The next moment he started with activating his sword technique first.
He started to move, making the needed steps for the sword technique to be activated. Just as he held the phantom sword in right hand and the real sword in his left, he started to roar!
His body changed and began his transformation. Saying that the entire world ushered under deafening silence at this moment would be an understatement.
Everyone, literally everyone, turned their gazes and fixated them over his blue scales and big dragon body.
And the next second he roared once more, while hitting the ground with his legs and moving his wings as hard as he could.
He flew, like a bullet, heading directly towards the location of that hidden dark angel mage.
"Damn!" the dark angel mage noticed Arthur even before he showed the true colors of himself. He was the only one here sensitive to the flow of energies in this world.
So when Arthur tried to control the energies at first, the dark angel mage noticed him. However he mistook him for someone trying to gather up his energy to activate the ultimate technique, and in the end he failed.
That was the common case to cause such disruption in energy like Arthur did. However the moment Arthur turned into a dragon and headed towards him with his two swords, the face of the dark angel mage fell.
As for Arthur, the moment he activated his phantom sword technique he felt the sudden stir in the energy all around. He didn't even need to control the energy with his own will, as the energy started moving from its own accord.
And when he transformed, things returned to the time where he was inside that trial. Instantly the closest energy to him stuck themselves all around, forming a circle of white light that extended to ten meters.
The energy from all around kept pouring towards him, sticking themselves with him, expanding and growing that circle of light.
A small ray of light turned in no time into a giant pillar of white light. And this wasn't all.
As he started to fly towards the dark angel mage, his energy kept touching the condensed dark energies. Arhtur could perfectly hear the non-stop sizzling sounds coming from all around.
His energy, his growing pillar of white energy, was purifying the dark energies and absorbing it in the process, rapidly expanding his pillar of light at an even faster speed.
And that didn't escape the keen senses of the dark angel mage, forcing him to be terrified of Arthur.
"Who the hell are you?" As Arthur kept flying forward in fast speed, the roaring sound of the angry and terrified dark angel mage thundered all over the world.
However Arthur didn't speak in words, but actions.
He just passed over the thick and condensed layers of defenses made of the dark mages and monsters from higher realms. They were all high realmers, all were frantically stronger than him.
However the moment he flew over their heads, things looked like he held a scythe of death and was now the agent of death, a death god perhaps.
Each place he passed over, anyone, literally everyone underneath would lose the luster in their eyes and all the strength in their bodies before laying on the ground motionless.
They looked dead without the need of Arthur to do anything. However Arthur knew better than that. All he did was to cut off all the dark energy that supported these mages and monsters and turned these into his own.
Shutting down the constant influx of energy inside their bodies made them lose all their strength and even consciousness. They fell on the ground motionless, not dead and yet soon to be.
"F*ck you!!`` The dark angel mage was the only one in the entire battlefield who could see what Arthur was doing. He also understood what he did to the men and monsters down on the ground.
The more he thought about it, the more he got frustrated and terrified.
This foe… Arthur wasn't like any foe the dark angel mage fought before. He was the exact definition of the sworn enemy and the natural nemesis of him and all of his kin.
"Screw it!" However, that didn't mean he couldn't fight him. He knew he couldn't win, not without all his power and strength. And yet he didn't need to win or kill Arthur.
He only needed to buy himself a bit of time, he needed to stall for time until the portals would be fully activated.
And then he would live the remaining few minutes watching this unheard of monster fighting his reinforcements.
"Die!" without further hesitation, the dark angel mage darted towards Arthur, stopping him from reaching the area of the portals.
He knew Arthur's aim was these portals, to cut the energy flow towards them, crushing the technique of him and his reinforcements on the other sides of the portals.
And the dark angel mage swore not to let Arthur have it his way. Even on his dead body he would stand like a mountain in front of him.
