Mystery: A Spark

Based on estimates, if Arthur were to break Salamani apart at this point, he would only be able to fight for about three minutes.

Like Ultraman, he's a real man for only three minutes.

Arthur also refers to the two single-handed sword forms after they are broken apart as the Berserk Form.

As for the two-handed sword form, that is naturally the weapon form.

However, Arthur did not intend to use Salamani's berserk form at this time.

Or rather, ever since Arthur got the new Salamani, he has hardly used the Salamani's berserk form.

Because although breaking chopsticks can be very powerful, it also reduces the duration of the effort.

As a man, the adjective Arthur least wants to be associated with is "short".

And his real purpose in coming here was not to fight Ince Zangwell to the death.

Therefore, he naturally had no need to use his berserk form.

Ince Zangwell was suddenly hit by Arthur's "Fear Scream," and while he was distracted by it, he was also stabbed in the kidney.

Adding to the fact that he had been hit by a Sunfire Talisman thrown by Leonard earlier, even though he was a powerful Sequence 5 Extraordinary, he was now somewhat overwhelmed.

However, because he failed to advance to demigod, he doesn't have much time left to live.

If Ince Zangwell fails to retrieve Saint Selena's ashes, his fate will surely be death.

Although his past experience of ascending to demigod gave Ince Zangwill the ability to forcibly manifest a mythical form.

But if he did that, his fate would be no different from death, because for him now, the process of entering the mythical form is irreversible.

Therefore, he did not intend to do so unless it was a last desperate moment.

Therefore, in this situation where he is being attacked from two sides, if Ince Zangwell wants to break the deadlock, he must first defeat one of them by force. Only then will he have a chance to escape and complete his plan.

If you want to defeat one side first, you naturally have to find an easy target first.

Ince Zangwell stared coldly at the unfamiliar blond youth in front of him, but secretly his eyes were on Leonard on the other side.

As could be seen from the sneak attack just now, the blond youth in front of him was not only swift in his movements, but also extremely ruthless.

Even though he didn't know the young man's lineage yet, the two-handed greatsword in the other man's hand made Ince Zangwell abandon the idea of ​​using the young man as a breakthrough point.

Compared to this unfamiliar young man, even if Leonard harbors unknown secrets, he is merely a Sequence 8 Midnight Poet.

If it were nighttime, he might still be somewhat useful.

Unfortunately, it's daytime now.

However, Ince Zangwell cannot reveal his thoughts at this time.

So he charged straight at Arthur and fought him like a madman.

Even though Arthur was a veteran of countless battles in the Trial Illusion, he was still struggling to withstand the onslaught of a gatekeeper fighting at full strength.

So naturally, injuries began to appear on his body.

His blood was thus spilled around him.

Not only was it on Arthur himself, but it was also on the ground, walls, and Ince Zangwell's body.

All of this was observed by Arthas, who was hiding in the shadows.

After informing Arthur, Arthas returned to the area, curious to see what would happen there.

Originally, it lay in the shadows, leisurely watching everything that happened at Blackthorn Security Company.

After concealing its presence, no one paid any special attention to this inconspicuous little thing.

However, when Arthas saw Arthur bleeding profusely from his fight with Ince Zangwill, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

It stood up, its face showing obvious anger.

Despite his anger, Arthas knew in his heart that he couldn't get involved in this battle.

Therefore, it merely glared fiercely at Ince Zangwell before quickly turning and leaping into the spirit world.

Meanwhile, at Blackthorn Security, Arthur, relying on Salamani and the martial arts skills he had honed in the Trial Illusion, barely managed to withstand Ince Zangwill's offensive.

Of course, Leonard's constant harassment from the sidelines also played a part.

However, just as Arthur was beginning to adapt to Ince Zangwell's attack rhythm, a bronze gate covered with mysterious symbols and patterns suddenly appeared behind him.

In an instant, the bronze gate cracked open, and arms, some without skin and others covered in teeth, reached out and grabbed Arthur's shoulders, momentarily slowing his movements.

But he wasn't flustered. He knew that Ince Zangwell couldn't hold out for long, especially since Salamani in his possession had the ability of the solar pathway.

And if he wasn't mistaken, the former archbishop of the Church of the Night wasn't actually targeting him.

His real goal should be...

"Leonard, watch out!"

Sure enough, as Arthur shouted, Ince Zangwell turned around and slashed Leonard across the chest with his claws, then kicked him in the body.

Leonard was kicked so hard he was sent flying, crashing through a window and falling to the ground floor, clearly suffering severe injuries.

But before Ince Zangwell could even breathe a sigh of relief after solving one problem, he felt a sharp pain throughout his body.

During the battle, Arthur's blood was splattered around him due to his injuries.

As an arsonist, he was able to ignite flames through his spirituality.

Blood, on the other hand, is a substance in the human body that is rich in spirituality.

Before sealing away the true offspring, Arthur had tried to ignite the flames with his own blood in the Trial Illusion.

His initial goal was actually to avoid bleeding during the battle and being exploited by other ill-intentioned people.

However, after gaining the ability to heal himself due to the true offspring, this became a sinister means of attack for Arthur.

Due to the influence of evil energy, his flames can be transformed into a special flame that he jokingly calls "Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame".

This flame has strong adhesive and corrosive properties, and its characteristics are very similar to magma.

Normally, using fire attacks is very difficult to conceal, but with Arthur's "Burning Blood" technique, this highly adhesive flame can be easily delivered to the enemy.

Just like now.

Ince Zangwell, who had just eliminated Leonard from the battlefield, now had eerie green flames burning on every part of his body that had been stained with Arthur's blood.

Moreover, this flame is like a maggot clinging to a bone; no matter how hard you try to swat it off, you can't get rid of it.

Not only him, but also the blood-stained areas on the surrounding walls and the ground were ignited with eerie green flames.

This caused the Blackthorn Security Company, whose roof had been smashed by Leonard's Sunfire Spell, to gradually begin to burn.

As the flames gradually ignited, Arthur felt as if he were in his own home turf.

Across from him, Ince Zangwell endured the excruciating pain of being burned by the flames, knowing he had no time to waste arguing with the man before him.

So his eyes gradually darkened, and he prepared to fight to the death at any moment.

Seeing the change in his eyes, Arthur knew it was about time.

A cornered beast's struggle is extremely dangerous, and Arthur had absolutely no intention of fighting Ince Zangwell to the death.

So he looked warily at the former archbishop and slowly moved to Klein's body.

He seemed to only want to protect his friend's body and didn't want to get involved anymore.

This place is located near the entrance but away from the underground passage.

Seeing Arthur's actions, Ince Zangwell also began to slowly retreat. After creating enough distance, he quickly turned around and rushed into the underground passage leading to Chanis Gate.

Leonard's Yangyan Talisman not only injured him, but also shattered the darkness of the underground Charis Gate.

This made it much easier for him to obtain the ashes of the saint.

Chapter 95 Leonard's Last Words

Arthur made no attempt to stop Ince Zangwell from going underground, after all, he was not familiar with Saint Selena and was not a member of the Church of the Night.

Therefore, he has no obligation to guard the ashes of Saint Selena.

He didn't stop Ince Zangwell's actions partly because he didn't want to push the viper into a corner and get bitten in return.

The strategy of "surrounding three sides and leaving one side open" is a classic tactic in ancient China, and it naturally has its own underlying principles.

If the enemy doesn't think they're in a hopeless situation, they'll hesitate and won't be ready to fight to the death.

Moreover, Arthur didn't come to Blackthorn Security Company specifically to fight Ince Zangwell.

His main purpose in coming here was, on the one hand, to try and get something out of Klein, but he failed.

On the other hand, it was also to "accidentally" set Blackthorn Security Company ablaze during the battle with Ince Zangwell.

As a Night Watch outpost established by the Church of the Night in Tingen, Blackthorn Security Company possesses a certain mystical significance.

It's like in Arthur's previous life, where the bricks and tiles of the ancient royal palace were more valuable than those of ordinary people.

Of course, this example may seem a bit inappropriate, but that's the gist of it.

Therefore, the Blackthorn Security Company, which serves as the stronghold of the Nightwalkers in Tingen, can be considered an important building to some extent.

Arthur, who "accidentally" ignited the potion, naturally received some feedback from the potion's digestion.

After all, it would be too much to ask of someone who is an arsonist to not be able to set fires during battle.

Since the intention was to set fire, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to accidentally burn down the Blackthorn Security Company, which served as the battleground.

Moreover, Arthur is helping the Church of the Night fight off an enemy, who is none other than a traitor within the Church of the Night.

No one can find fault with such behavior.

Of course, this is because Tingen is just a small city that is not very important.

So although Arthur received feedback from the potion's digestion during the process of igniting the Blackthorn Security Company, the degree of digestion was not very large.

If Arthur wants to achieve a better performance, he'll probably have to target the church.

For example, the Church of the Night's headquarters, the Church of Tranquility, and the Church of the Storm's Holy Wind Cathedral.

However, these are not places where you can take advantage of loopholes.

If Arthur dared to set fire to these places, well... the consequences would be...
