"I just hope I would be left with some of them at the end," he sighed without any regret. Amanda was like a child to him, and he wouldn't hesitate to do whatever he could to save her!
This new addition of dust and water made the attacks the four launched more effective. Even Arthur started to feel some dizziness while approaching his master.
'Ding! Just a hundred meter more, press on, we are almost there!' and the system didn't stop encouraging him, as it was risky to stay inside the reach of these waves anymore.
As he finally crossed these last hundred meters, the system said:
'Ding! You can open your eyes.'
When Arthur opened them, he was stupefied to see that gigantic black monster with no specific shape and many tentacles. It was like a broad sheet of darkness with a wavy surface and no telling which was head and tail!
"What is… that thing?" his soul felt much threatened when he glanced at that for a minute. "Was that supposed to hit me?" he finally realized how dangerous his situation was back there without him knowing that.
And the more he realized that, the more appreciation he felt towards Amanda.
'Ding! This is the first time for me to see. To be honest, if you were hit by it; your death wouldn't be an impossible outcome.'
"I agree," Arthur nodded before turning to glance at his master and his four gigantic pets.
'Ding! Don't! you did enough already. The level of this fight exceeded your limits.'
Arthur thought of going there and help, or return to fire his arrows; yet his system warned him not to do so. Arthur wasn't aware yet, but he already exhausted most of his strength, and his soul felt wary right now.
He needed rest, and he couldn't rest before that thing would be killed first.
"But…" despite seeing the logic in the system's words, Arthur couldn't stand by and watch.
'Ding! Don't worry, the last killing blow will be yours,' the system reassured him before adding, 'Ding! But you need to be in perfect shape to do that!'
The feeling of exhaustion finally started to haunt him. He glanced at his weakened body; even flying seemed stressful for him right now. "Should I cancel the transformation?" he asked while heading towards the ground like a broken plan.
'Ding! Never!'
The simple and direct response of his system made him realize he wasn't safe yet. "Alright," he finally landed on the ground and sat there motionless, watching the ongoing fight while bidding his time for rest.
'Ding! You can take out your meat and strengthen yourself faster.'
"Good idea," Arthur didn't make meat out of monsters for such a long time, yet he still had huge reserves of his old meat. He started taking huge amounts of them and kept eating them without reservation.
"Eating amidst battle? You are such a weirdo," Mr. E noticed what Arthur was doing as he laughed. He was content Arthur was fine, and he believed this fight wasn't suited for such a weak disciple like him.
Mr. E continued his attacks using his triangle while his monsters kept aiding him throwing spears. After two more hours, Arthur felt his body recovered yet he didn't hurry to go and help.
'Ding! Stay here and wait, your time isn't up yet,' his system kept warning him while he had nothing else to do but wait.
The black fog kept shaking all the time. After the departure of Arthur, his pillars lost all the aiding force to help Mr. E in his attacks.
"Can I at least use my arrows?"
'Ding! No, save them for later.'
"Why do I have the feeling that you know something and don't want to tell?"
'Ding! Just wait, the end of this fight is drawing close.'
Just as the two were having this debate inside Arthur's mind, a strange vicious sound erupted from the direction of that fog.
"You can't kill me, if you do this pathetic human here will die!"
The words were followed by a loud laugh that resembled a roar. Mr. E had his face change for a moment before hitting the triangle with more power than ever.
"Just give up, you can't even trap me with your pathetic toys! You are alone, and you can't handle me on your own."
The dark monster laughed while its surface seemed to tremble.
'Ding! It's afraid, and so it starts to speak,' yet the system spoke to Arthur, making him realize how trickery this monster was!
"What for? Stalling for time?"
'Ding! That's what it wants.'
Just before Arthur could ask his next question, a strange thing occurred.
More pillars began to show up with their towering height and giant bodies! They came out of nowhere and started to be arranged around the outer circle of pillars; following what Arthur initially aligned them into.
"He isn't alone anymore!"
This weak tone with deep hatred and extreme anger came from the back of the monster, startling it.
Arthur glanced fast towards Amanda to find her standing from the ground, in a shaken body, while her hand held a long scepter; a black one with a strange luster.
"Do you recognize this one here? It belonged to your master!" Amanda said in a vicious tone as she fiercely waved this giant scepter and landed it over the body of the dark monster.
"She is fine!" Arthur heaved a long sigh of relief.
'Ding! She is everything but fine!' the system said before adding, 'Ding! She is trying to stop what that monster is trying to do.'
"Which is…?"
'Ding! Like what your Golam tried to do!'
The eyes of Arthur got widened and he felt his soul being sucked in. "No way, we can't allow this to happen," he hurriedly glanced at Amanda who was now extracting the scepter from this monster's body and hurrying to attack it again.
And the sounds of new pillars being added to the ground resounded in the space!
