Chapter 310- The Great Akora River (Part 7)

Then, the woman quickly turned around and approached the encapsulated mercenaries. Arthur immediately understood her intentions and sprung into movement. He dashed forward, disappearing like a flash of lightning.

He reached the woman in a split second and sent a flying kick toward her face. The attack passed through her body without dealing damage. Meanwhile, the woman put her hand on the ice wall, and with a simple touch, a ripple burst the ice into tiny shards.

"Goddamit!" Arthur landed on his feet and lunged at the woman again with his sword driving forward, ready to stab her before she turned invincible again.

However, he wasn't fast enough. The sword plunged into the nothingness, passing through as if it touched a ghost.

'Fuck!' he cursed inwardly as he quickly shifted his grip and pulled the sword out before she can trap it again.

At the same time, the lifeless mercenary dolls slowly left the ice trap and walked toward the woman in unison. They didn't look at Arthur nor did they acknowledge the threat they were facing.

The woman had completely trapped them in her illusion, not sparing them at all. Her abilities were simply far too strong to counter and the only person who could do it was Arthur.

'What the hell am I supposed to do? Nothing seems to work. Whenever I try to attack her, she becomes invincible. The only time I can get her is when she's using the ripples. But, she's smart enough to know exactly when she's supposed to use it and when she isn't.'

Arthur didn't think the monster would be that smart in battle. But, the fact it looked exactly like a seductive woman made him realize that it was far from just a normal monster. It had a consciousness and an ability to comprehend the situation on an almost human level.

'I need to think of a solution quickly!' Arthur looked around him quickly, searching for any solution. There was basically nothing on the deck to use, including the ship itself.

"AGH! Screw this!!"

Arthur yelled as he channeled his mana to the extreme and dashed forward. At the same time, he activated Berserker's Wrath to amplify his power even more. If smart plans weren't an option, then Arthur decided to simply use brute force till he could kill her.

The first thing Arthur did was quickly form another wall between the woman and the mercenaries. He didn't want her to touch them by all means as he had a hunch that it won't be a good sight to witness. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

Then, he quickly closed the distance between him and the woman and in a split second rained down endless slashes and attacks on her. Using all his 70 points of strength, he tried to give her no room to deflect or attack back.

The boy noticed that and quickly swung his sword, sending a large ice wall to block the ripple.

*BOOOOOM*

The wall didn't last a second before it burst into pieces. But, at that moment, Arthur had already passed the spot where he would've been hit, barely dodging the attack before it hit him.

'Dammit! That was way too close! I need to hurry!' He cursed.

It was merely a second before the man's entire body fell from the ship. Arthur's speed was extremely high, but he wished it was faster as there was no time.

'Hurry!'

*Swish*

Like a flash, Arthur blinked the entire distance as he reached the edge. At the same time, the mercenary let his body go as he started falling down the edge.

"I... got you!!!" That was when Arthur's hand extended and grabbed him by the leg before he could reach the water. "In time!"

Arthur exhaled a long sigh of relief as he looked down. The ship was tilting powerfully and he could barely keep his balance through sheer will and upper core strength.

But, Arthur still tried to pull the mercenary up before he could slip from his grip.

'This violent shaking isn't making it any easy... Where the hell is it coming fr-' Before Arthur's thought could even finish, he suddenly froze in place.

"... Huh?"
