Scarblade Goddess

CHAPTER 56

[Fragment intertwine]

Otorine immediately turned to her left. Strange thing is, the cute little Nassus was still beside her. Thereupon, she was confused inside her thoughts,

"If little Nassus is still here...how come another Nassus is there? Is this kid really my Nassus? What's going on? Is everything just an illusion?".

While for her other companions, they were struck with surprise as well, since the adult Nassus was sitting on the high throne like an upstart ruler. The air grew intense as they met eyes with the menacing Nassus. Yumine questioned the adult Nassus with her worried eyes,

"Why are you sitting on the royal throne Nassus!? And where's the empress?".

The manly Nassus didn't respond straight. Instead, he just lifted his left hand and snapped his fingers that echoed throughout the whole place. Afterwards, a maiden who was dressed in a unique regal outfit appeared behind walking in all fours.

"I'm sorry our dear Goddesses...",

the former imperial ruler said with grave disappointment in her face. Otorine and Yumine made a sorrowful frown as the empress was treated like an improper servant. Looking at the empress closely, her dress was blended in the nice themes of european royalty and sun-like ornaments of oriental fashion. Otorine looked-like she can't believe anything of what she sees anymore. Little Nassus held her hands. As her dazzling eyes noticed the youthful Nassus beside her, giving off a bright smile. Otorine felt that she should trust the adorable Nassus beside her. While for the other haughty and unruly adult Nassus, he glanced at Lilieth from head to toe,

"Ho-hoh? I see that you brought another bonus for me huh?".

There after, he licked his lips as he was a crazy pervert. Otorine took a step forward and gave him a chilling stare,

"I know that my Nassus is sometimes cruel yet...".

She pointed at him,

"THOSE AREN'T THE WORDS I'D HEAR FROM MY LOVING NASSUS! Tell me...who are you?!".

The vicious adult Nassus held his forehead and sighed. Soon, he cracked a demonic grin,

"I guess you've seen through my cover...".

The only thing he could do was to remove his black cloak dramatically. For quite sometime, his whole appearance was changing and his face was replaced with the cunning face of Arthuroz. His crimson hair was swapped with the briliance of ash blonde. The next moment, he stood up from his throne and spread his draconic wings of blood. Little Nassus gulped as he was terrified. For the others, they were no longer doubting their own selves. Arthuroz tapped the ground using his blade's tip. Suddenly, he vanished in a blink of an eye. Otorine and the others felt cautious as Arthuroz was gone. In turn, they brought out their respective weapons. In a snap, he appeared in front of Miro. Miro cleared his throat, as the menacing Fallen was right in front of his face. Suddenly, Arthuroz let out rapid blows and punches at his chest and arms. Miro tried to block the strikes yet, Arthuroz had lightning reflexes, so Miro took full damage head-on. As the last kick was unleashed, Miro was flung to the edge of the wall and left out a ruptured fissure.

"MIRO!",

Yumine cried. In a snap, Otorine tried to let out a swift swing at Arthuroz but, Arthuroz immediately vanished into the darkness before her attack could connect. In turn, Otorine was flabbergasted in her mind,

"He's too fast!".

After that, Arthuroz emerged in front of the little Nasus. Without wasting any time, Arthuroz grabbed the child and flung him at the battered Miro, like a baseball. In turn, Miro and Nassus felt the jolts of severe pain.
