Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Steam Core, Got It!_1 Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Steam Core, Got It!_1 Arthurs, who plunged into the light, was like a large rock being lifted into the air by an explosion in a stone quarry.
As he was blasted to the ground, he also rolled over a dozen meters.
But even so, the fellow still didn’t die.
He just had exceptionally tough skin and flesh.
However, at this moment, although Arthurs hadn’t died, he was close to it.
As a Two-star Level potent holy Witchcraft.
The resources Tuck had poured into it were so substantial they even exceeded his own Level.
The form of the Sculpting Light Spear was enhanced; the holy power burst forth with enhancement, scorching, penetrating, and so on.
And all the investment transformed into intense holy light.
Executing a redemptive baptism of the evil and filth of the Dark Sun Church.
Arthurs lay on the lawn baptized by the aftereffects of the explosion, his body in a strange twisted posture, appearing contorted in an upper and lower direction, with a hint of artistic quality, though not much.
The Life plating had indeed been depleted.
His slightly odd Wizard’s Robe lifted by the blast wave hadn’t been damaged, surprisingly strong.
The skin of Arthurs exposed to the air was severely burned.
Some black flesh buds and blood erosion worms struggled out from his skin, swaying chaotically in the air.
Mutating and out of control, they writhed gently.
And it was the two objects on his shoulder, which should be called “Dark Sun Candles,” that kept him clinging to his last breath.
Tuck reached out and grabbed the Spear of Shaping Light over one meter in length, with sharp ends, which landed in his hands.
Tuck even had three additional Spears of Shaping Light behind him.
Even though the opponent was within Tuck’s field of vision, in a semi-comatose state, and completely defenseless,
The opponent’s lack of defense didn’t stop Tuck from being fully prepared.
Grasping the Sculpting Light, the corner of Tuck’s Wizard’s Robe fell in shadow, and Shadow Tentacles then stretched out along the ground.
The Shadow Tentacles, under Tuck’s control, moved with incredible agility.
The Shadow Tentacles clung to Arthurs’ two twisted arms for a moment.
When they withdrew, Arthurs’ Ring Staff and Storage Bracelet had already been taken off by Tuck.
Glancing at the Ring Staff now in his possession, it was indeed as Tuck had seen.
It was an “Earth Runes Staff.”
Even the Rune Power was stronger than his Shadow Rune Power.
With such a Ring Staff, one naturally could reduce a certain amount of damage.
Combined with the Life plating, the defense capabilities were maxed out.
Withstanding so many of Tuck’s attacks, this Earth Runes Staff played an indispensable role.
He carefully stored away the Earth Runes Staff.
Tuck took a deep breath, looking at the Transcendent Storage Bracelet.
The reason Tuck took the risk to come here was it not for that expensive, rare treasure of this Steam Era Epoch, after all?
Opening the Storage Bracelet, Tuck’s Spiritual Perception infiltrated it.
A moment later!
“Huh…”
Tuck exhaled a long breath, revealing a hint of a smile.
“Finally, I got it. This trip wasn’t in vain.”
He securely stowed the Storage Bracelet away.
Tuck raised his head to look at Arthurs, the A Grade Genius of the Dark Sun Evil God Church, whose trajectory was now completely chaotic.
The trend of mutation and loss of control was becoming more apparent.
Tuck looted the body precisely to prevent this fellow from going berserk.
After all, the Power of the Dark Sun contained within Arthurs’s body was terribly frightening and astounding.
If he were to lose control, the Ring Staff and the Storage Bracelet would be utterly contaminated.
Tuck was neither an Alchemist nor a Priest.
He couldn’t purify these contaminated items.
But now that the looting was done, there was no issue anymore.
Mutate or not, if he doesn’t, that’s that!
As Tuck was pondering whether to finish off Arthurs first or to deal with that altar first,
Caw… caw…
An Undead Crow quickly landed on a fence of the lawn not far away.
And then…
Caw… caw… caw…
A large flock of Undead Crows spiraled down and landed one after another.
The gaze of the Undead Crows descended at this moment.
It was, a few unruly crows landed near the wall, facing the wall, Faith in Full Bloom!
“I wonder if Mr. Aubrey has noticed the unusual behavior of these crows.”
Tuck pondered in secret.
All around, the gaze of nearly every Undead Crow converged on the same spot.
The Undead Crows’ gaze shifted to the body lying on the ground, which had begun to swell rhythmically.
Then to the collapsing Dark Sun Altar that, after the explosion, had begun to emit the Power of the Dark Sun.
Finally, the Undead Crows turned their attention to Tuck.
“The situation at the High Tower is a bit complicated.”
“The affair is far from over, in fact, it might just be beginning.”
“First take care of the altar, then deal with that aberrant fellow, and return as quickly as possible.”
After dropping these words—
Caw-caw-caw…
A vast swarm of Undead Crows quickly fluttered their wings and departed.
When Tuck withdrew his gaze from the Undead Crows—
“Thump-thump… thump-thump…”
The sound of heavy hammering erupted from the heart.
In the near distance, the chest of Arthurs’s body thumped with a muffled and strange intensity.
Not far from Tuck, who also felt the repercussions, his own heart pounded violently along.
Without hesitation—
Tuck didn’t concern himself with Arthurs, who was about to undergo a drastic transformation.
Instead, he ran swiftly towards the Dark Sun Altar.
As he neared it, Tuck rapidly condensed one Sculpting Light Spear – Ball after another.
Compared to the sharpness, piercing, and infiltration of the [Spear] form—
The [Ball] form’s attribute of Holy Light and the ultimate eruption of Holy Breath (explosion) had a better effect.
Lucky for him, Tuck had previously invested heavily in the Two-star Light-based witchcraft Sculpting Light Spear.
Only then could he, like making sausages, condense them one after another.
Tuck’s “Original Dark Sea” also supported the substantial consumption of Origin Energy.
Clang-clang…
More than a dozen Sculpting Light Spear Balls were cast by Tuck onto the damaged Dark Sun Altar.
Quickly creating a distance of over a hundred meters—
Tuck jumped into the shadows to wait for just a moment.
Bang-bang!
Bang-bang!
The pounding heart suddenly contracted.
Then, the seated “Arthurs,” his entire body hanging limply in a bizarre fashion, was lifted up.
All over his body, the muscles began to swell, exuding a black metallic luster.
The two Dark Sun Candles on his shoulders were also burning faster, resembling two horse lamps.
Just at that moment, the woman’s face on the chest of his enlarged Wizard’s Robe abruptly opened her eyes.
Black pupils, devoid of any spirit.
But at that moment, even a single glance at Arthurs made Tuck’s eyes sting with pain.
Tuck thought he had seen all manner of strange situations.
But the present circumstance, without a doubt, had again expanded Tuck’s knowledge of the bizarre.
The powers of those strange Evil Gods couldn’t be explained by the means of Transcendent Studies.
Even the field of Transcendent Mystic Arts might not suffice to explain them.
Just as Tuck had anticipated—
The preliminarily transformed Arthurs was drawn to the altar emitting the Power of the Dark Sun.
He took step by step towards the Dark Sun Altar amidst the ruins.
He wanted to draw the power of the Dark Sun.
To further strengthen his power.
When Arthurs approached the altar, Tuck raised his hand, his Bullet Tentacles aimed at the trigger pulse of the Sculpting Light Spear – Balls.
“Art is—explosion!”
Boom—
A more intense explosion than before.
It sent the altar and Arthurs together soaring into the sky.
