บท 1356: A Stone Sword

Arthur watched the rising light with apprehension. The sphere of light scattered into countless others, each darting in a different direction around the city of Kera. As he lowered his head toward the ground, he found the citizens moving in a single file. 

"The hypnosis has begun," muttered Arthur as he spread his arms. 

It wouldn't matter if he teleported or rushed toward Deluge. The spell had already been cast. However, he couldn't let Li and the others face the calamity alone. 

Golden mana overflowed from his body as he poured it into the [Flight] rune. Arthur turned into a sphere of golden mana as he bolted through the sky. He became a shooting star as he headed toward Deluge. 

He reached the coordinates in just thirty seconds. Deluge was standing on the ground amidst a crater of destruction. The one facing him was Li, who had drawn out Stars Reaver.
