After a full minute, Arthur, Dean, and Wale's faces scrunched up in pain.
A weird feeling enveloped them almost as if they had lost something very important.
*whoosh*
A crimson arrow with dark markings, a meter and a half long flashed before Rita ready to blast her into pieces, however, she was able to shift her body slightly causing the arrow to hit her right side instead of her heart.
Still, her entire right arm, chest, and abdomen were blasted.
"Rita!" Arthur shouted in horror. After seeing Rita's internal organs exposed for all to see, Arthur ignored the weird sensation of having his life shortened before shoving Dean aside.
He had already recovered a bit of his mana in this short time, so he teleported before Rita.
However, his eyes grew into saucers when he appeared before her.
Rita's body had already healed, together with the previous wound on her forehead.
As in the instant her right side exploded, the life energy that was resting still in her mana core without mixing with her mana automatically surged out, and not even a second later, she was all healed.
Looking into her eyes, Arthur lowered his head.
Rita's eyes were flashing with anger as she gazed at him, and it was evident she didn't want to have anything to do with him, at least for the moment.
However, she took a deep breath and pressed down the raging anger welling in her.
"We need to kill them!"
Raising his head, Arthur saw Rita looking at Dean with hatred before she turned her head into the distance, "All of them!"
Immediately after, the golden essence that was leaking from the thread connected to Arthur disappeared and in its place appeared a pale green essence that surged into his body from Rita.
Arthur's swollen face recovered while all the broken bones he had sustained were healed up.
At the same time, on the building far in the distance, the arrow devil flashed a smile as he felt like Rita was looking at him right in the eyes.
"Interesting!"
Looking at the Ritual circle below him, he saw a great portion of the sacrificed body parts were already used up, while the rest were disappearing.
'At this rate, I only have two minutes more before I lose my anchor into this plane.'
He wasn't sure he could kill the girl before that time, as the regeneration she just displayed was one he himself didn't have. Not to mention that Arthur was now beside her.
Looking at Dora standing behind him, he spoke, "We have to join the battle.,"
Before Dora could react, her body was lifted from the ground before becoming a blur.
Back on the battlefield.
Arthur was stunned.
Hearing Rita tell him to kill them was something he never expected.
He felt deep anger against Dean and while a part of him wanted nothing more than to kill him, the other part was telling him not to.
However, Rita seemed clear on what she wanted.
She really wanted all of them dead.
"Young master!"
Arthur was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the anxious voice of a girl.
Turning his head, he saw the previously bullied busty girl approach the fallen Wale and gently rest him on her thighs.
"Cough...Noa, run..." Wale whispered as he grunted in pain.
He had yet to deactivate his domain even after suffering a backlash from it.
His pride wouldn't bring him to.
It was at this moment that Arthur's anxious cry drifted into the duo's head.
"Watch out!"
Wale's eyes widened when he saw a tall creature flash behind Noa, a saber already raised high in his hand.
"Let's take care of the trash first, shall we?"
The saber slashed across Noa's neck, causing Wale to scream in horror, however, nothing happened.
The creature frowned before shifting his gaze to Rita.
"How dreadful..."
A flash of fear appeared in his eyes.
When his saber cut into her neck, Rita had already sent her life energy through the thread that had connected her with Noa when she appeared.
When the saber cut through completely, the cut section had already healed.
Therefore, there was no blood splatter instead only a trickle of blood fell down her pale neck.
Still, Noa's face turned pale, as she gasped for breath. She thought she had died.
Falling on Wale, tears fell down her face.
Wale quickly drew her into his embrace. Rita had already stopped using her powers on him, and when he saw Noa beheaded, he had subconsciously stopped his domain in his panic.
He hated himself for being weak in such a situation.
However, the truth is if he were to face Dean, he would definitely come on top, while with Arthur the outcome couldn't be known.
It was just that his powers were being suppressed in one way or another.
While his domain worked on Dean, Dean's evil energy isn't one that could be wielded by just anyone, so he suffered from it.
As for Rita, she was more talented than him, so his powers were suppressed against her.
The last time he used his domain on her, it was because she didn't resist it, that he didn't suffer a backlash.
Dora also appeared on the battlefield as she quickly made her way toward the sprawled Dean.
"Are you okay?"
Dean shoved her hands aside.
Raising his body slowly, he could feel his mana returning to him, albeit slowly.
The arrow devil raised his saber once more to finish the weakling below him, however feeling the space behind him fluctuate, he didn't hesitate to slash his saber backward.
Arthur bent his waist, narrowly dodging the saber.
Since the arrow devil was far taller than him, his hand could only reach his chest.
Still, without hesitation, he clenched his hand into a fist and threw a punch.
However, the arrow devil didn't budge and instead looked down at him with contempt.
"Was that a punch?"
Clenching one of his left hands, he threw a massive fist at Arthur, however his attack only hit the air.
Arthur had already teleported behind him and hurled a palm at his back.
But the arrow devil ignored it and leisurely swung his saber behind him once more.
Before Arthur's palm connected with the arrow devil, a silver essence appeared on it.
Like a knife cutting through butter, his hand passed through the arrow devil' back causing a palm-sized hole with green blood to leak from it.
The arrow devil grunted in pain.
If he had coated his body in mana, Arthur's space laws wouldn't have worked on him.
His eyes flashed in anger, and he continued swinging his saber, but Arthur had already disappeared from sight once his body turned completely.
Far on the building, the organs on the ritual circle finally disappeared completely.
The arrow devil's body started to phase out from existence.
Gritting his teeth, he made his decision.
He knew he would regret it as the little girl might not summon him again into the mortal plane, but he didn't care at this point.
'I will be taking one of your kidneys." he said while looking at Dora who was trying to help Dean up his feet.
Dora suddenly coughed a mouthful of blood, before falling on her side.
Her body spasmed for a while before it started trembling slightly.
However, no one cared about her including Dean.
Looking at Arthur, he wanted to attack when a message appeared before him once more, albeit slightly different from the last.
>
Looking at his side, he saw Rita glaring at him.
"This bitch!"
A death scythe appeared in his hand before he ran towards her.
He swung his scythe down intending to decapitate her, however, Rita seemed unfazed as she continued to glare at him.
Arthur suddenly flashed before her, coating his hand with silver essence before grabbing the blade.
Dean's eyes widened slightly when he saw Arthur make a dangerous move.
However, his eyes flashed with understanding when he saw the blade almost severing his hand, yet stopped.
Removing his hand, before a shower of blood could even splatter, his hand was all healed.
Arthur threw a left punch, causing Dean to stumble but before he could follow up the arrow devil flashed before him.
With four sabers now on each of his hands, he swung them at Arthur.
Knowing that his replenished mana wasn't enough for him to freeze space, Arthur gritted his teeth, before diving into the attack.
Shifting his body, he kneed at the arrow's devil crotch.
He was able to evade two of the sabers, however, the other two, each on both sides were able to cut off his arms.
At the same time, his knee connected.
The arrow devil eyes bulged, as he stumbled backward.
The sabers fell on the ground with clanging sounds, before he grabbed his crotch with all four hands.
Looking forward, he was expecting to see a disabled Arthur, but all he saw was Arthur narrowly dodging Dean's scythe, before throwing another punch.
'It's that bitch. I will need to kill her first.' he
Dean wanted to dodge the punch when his face suddenly turned pale, and a feeling of weakness overwhelmed him.
A message flashed before him, informing him of the reason.
>
The arrow devil was also experiencing the same feeling.
Before Dean could even finish reading the message, Arthur's fist connected with his face, causing him to stumble to the right.
Before he could stabilize himself, a left punch landed on the other side of his face causing him to stumble to the left this time.
The same thing repeated, as Arthur constantly teleported beside Dean before punching out with all his strength.
He didn't hold back at all as Mia's face flashed in his mind.
Dean's body was being knocked around, and as the arrow devil was also yet to regain himself, there was no one to help him.
He didn't dare to hold back any longer and finally used his trump card.
As Arthur's right fist connected with his face once again, the black sphere on his right hand glowed before a specter streaked toward Arthur.
Caught unaware, the specter entered Arthur's body.
When Dean landed on the ground, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
However, Arthur didn't have it easier either, and instead worse.
Clutching his head tightly, he screamed out in pain before falling to his knees.
Rita tried to use her powers on him but to no avail.
It was at this time that a message flashed before Dean.
