章 768: Seen Through

The world witnessed the man hailed as Light Emperor get robbed of his powers, as the light spears that he gathered dissipated and escaped his grip. The emperor tried to regain control of his light, reaching out toward the arrays, but they all listened to Arthur, not him.

"You lost the moment that you used runes against me," said Arthur as the runes gathered around his arms, coiling like snakes. "Let the world witness how weak you are!"

The Light Emperor stood frozen with a face drained of color. Arthur was sure he was powerful enough to strike back and force Arthur away from the array, but his façade would be broken. His people would know that he never wielded the light, but its opposite.

If the emperor used his ability now to strengthen himself, then the words that the forger left would be proven true. Arthur and the forger left him with two choices: losing the citizen's trust or his life.
