Arthur didn''t finish his words, and then a mighty silence prevailed on the entire world. He felt like he was surrounded with a bubble of thick waters, separating him from the outside world, killing his senses and any rtion he had with the outside world.


    "I told you already, even if I was going to die I would take you down with me, despicable ant!"


    This sound came so clear and fresh to his ears, like the owner stood directly in front of him. Yet there was nothing.


    "Ding! It''s an illusion! It''s stopped by the city shield."


    The sound of his system came as usual, just in time to rm him from this situation. "Thanks," Arthur replied with utmost gratitude, "will the shields hold?"


    "Ding! Not long enough."


    "Can you help and direct my hands?"


    The words of Arthur were apanied by stretching out the strings.


    "Do you think I''m that weak and restrained like before? It was a slight mistake of mine, and won''t be repeated."


    "Ding! You raise and I''ll aim and let us both set the arrows loose."


    Arthur didn''t listen to the Gm''s words and trusted his system. He raised his bow to feel a strange gush of power appearing so suddenly from his soul towards his hands.


    "Interesting," he muttered as he thought the system lived in his mind! The system controlled his hands and adjusted their trajectory, before Arthur felt the sudden disappearance of the force. "So this is setting the arrows loose?" he sneered before letting the string free, and next thing the arrows vanished from his sight.


    "Truly is a marvelous illusion technique," he shook his head while adding, "strange that every single dark side person or monster I met so far excelled at two things and two things only; soul attacks and illusions."


    He felt quite frustrated, as both were one of his weakest territories. That was weird, as if he was sent here to a worldpatible with his own weaknesses, not strengths.


    "Ding! Sessfully hit their mark yet the Gm is quite strong and prepared this time."


    "Then we need tounch more," he smiled as he said with a sly smile, "we have five hundred pirs here, let''s see if it can deal with them all."


    Then he started a spree of his bow attacks with no pause. The system kept aiding him while he even didn''t ask about the giant beauty.


    Until heunched over a thousand arrows already!


    "Tell me it''s restrained!"


    "Ding! Almost, but it still can move and roar quite loud."


    "What about the world''s will?"


    "Ding! She is standing on the corner."


    "Watching?!!"


    "…"


    Arthur was stupefied at first, before he realized what she was trying to do. "Tell her on my behalf that this isn''t my tribtion. If she doesn''t step in and muster her courage, I will die and she will fail."


    The giant beauty was thinking about his own words, and the only way to test it was through letting him face the Gm alone.


    If this was his tribtion, then he would have a slim chance of sess. If not, then he would be pressured to a deadly situation.


    Arthur knew already he was doomed if things kept heading this way, his way. He wasn''t able to handle the Gm after breaking free, as the principal person rted to the tribtion had already stepped in.


    His role, and he believed this was his destined role here, was only to support her. After her appearance his role would be meaningless, and if he continued to press forward or be heroic, he would die.


    "Cultivators are those stingy, arrogant bastards. Strange, I''m not feeling like them sinceing here."


    This thought suddenly struck him out of nowhere, feeling like he was altered or parts of his personality were sealed.


    "She once said something about my soul, damn I don''t have time to consider what she intoned," he gritted his teeth before he released another volley and then the system response came again.


    "Ding! She said she is believing you about her tribtion, but what about you?"


    "What about me?"


    "Ding! She asks what role do you have here?"


    "Stupid girl! I''m here to help her retake the path again! I''m here to make her my guardian, and first she needs to be a guardian to fit my needs. Stupid big sexy girl!"


    "Ding! Ahem, she is the world''s will!"


    "Deliver my words word by word!!"


    "…"


    Arthur didn''t stop firing his arrows and until he hit the two thousand mark, almost depleting all his arrows with no change at all at his side, the system stepped in to say:


    "Ding! She will intervene now."


    "Finally!"


    "Ding! She got a little angry with your words, yet now she is convinced with them."


    "Stupid girl is always silly! The truth is very clear in front of her eyes, yet she denied it!"


    "Ding! What you said was out of logic."


    "It''s total logic! You don''t know heavens or tribtions, I do! She does! We both know exactly what it meant to go on a path to defy heavens!"


    "Ding! What does it mean then?"


    "To always be vignt and not trust what you see in front of your own eyes! Heavens are such a trickery being that would use even illusions or faking death to make you believe you lost."


    "Ding! And what then?"


    Arthur went silent for a moment before adding in a deep tone: "Then you will really lose, lose yourself, lose your strength, lose your soul, lose even your life! This is what it means to go against heavens."


    "Ding! It''s a scary path in my opinion."


    "Scary?" Arthur chuckled before adding, "this path is fun and interesting, not like the quite boring mages and dragonairs path I''m walking right now. Sigh, how did I be convinced to walk on this path? What made me fall this deep? Strange and… suspicious!"


    His mind worked again, yet differently, like he was in a deep slumber and woke up. Things looked quite different to him at this moment, and the sense of being fooled rooted deeply in his mind.


    "I was framed," he muttered in clear conviction, "and the only one who can help me rify things is him," he added while ncing to the back, towards the illusion of his city. "After finishing this, I have to have a word with him."


    "Ding! The world''s will cause a deep wound to the Gm, but…"


    The system paused, and despite the good news it was rying, its tone was different. "But what?" Arthur impatiently asked, "what this dirty monster pulled?"


    "Ding! It activated its own explosion mechanism, and even the world''s will can''t save your city, or…"


    "Me? Is it trying to kill me? Hehehe!" Arthurughed like a madman. He was now in the worst situation ever. His city''s defenses weren''t finished, he depleted most of his pirs, and he had a handful of arrows that didn''t exceed a hundred!


    "Ding! She says if you want she can take only you and run away."


    "Never!" Arthur suddenly regained his old vicious nature, "I never ran from a tribtion before, neither I will do now! This is my city, and I will either live with it or die with!"
