Chapter 289 - A Scheme And Its Applicable Counter



"Let\'s go," Arthur said and Sara worried about Tina for the first time ever! "Will she be alright?" she said, before adding, "alone?"

"Yeah, she is more than enough. if you focused more you will notice the warriors here aren\'t that strong, even monsters here seemed quite boring and dull," he said, before heading straight towards the pillar.

"Something seems off here," he sniffed it even before he sat his feet here. He knew this star would reveal the truth to him, but which truth?

As he headed towards the pillar, Tina followed suit. Her worry for Tina was replaced by doubt and suspicion the moment she noticed the weakness of these warriors, mages, and monsters.

"What are they planning…"

She was midway in her words when a rumble broke her, making her stop. She and Arthur glanced at the same time towards the distance, where this rumble occurred!

A red light pillar was launched from the horizon, seen easily from such a far distance, making everyone alerted and feel the pressure.

"What is that?" Arthur muttered, as he didn\'t get the meaning of the presence of such pillars of light.

But Sara did!

"These bastards!" she said before adding, "they are starting a new portal out there, I think they are trying to establish another route away from the star map."

"This means," Arthur\'s eyes shone coldly as the conclusion jumped into his mind.

"Yes, they will cut the portal linking the pocket world to the star map."

"Rendering the map useless while securing themselves from me. such a brilliant strike! I have to admit, they played it well this time," he smiled with a strange expression on his face, like he was giving up.

But Sara next to him had another thought, that was the terrifying calm before the storm! And his storm would be devastating!

"Do you know how much time they need to finish these portals?"

"I think roughly two days at least, three at top."

He smirked, "Just matching my schedule." He then glanced at the pillar next to him before recalling the star map in his mind.

This star was near the centre, but it wasn\'t near any other red stars with pillars. That meant wasting time here was pointless. "Let\'s get this done fast, and tell Tina to stop and retreat, we will have another deadly fight soon."

Sara glanced at his back while flying calmly towards the pillar. "I would much love to pay anything and understand what is going on inside this brain of yours!" she muttered softly before turning to leave and notify Tina.

As for Arthur, he needed a little help from his venerable master. He knew if he picked the pillars one by one, he would fail to collect them all! Two days weren\'t much time, and according to the current rate, he would finish a dozen more pillars in less than a day.

Then the final group of a dozen or slightly more would prove to be hard to clear in less than a single day, especially when his enemy would be well prepared for him this time.

The fight seemed pointless, logically, but his enemies seemed quite stressing over the last group of pillars. He didn\'t know why they needed the pillars so badly, even paying so much price to snatch a handful of ten or a dozen at most from his hands.

But for him, losing one meant losing everything he exerted his deepest effort for! So he didn\'t plan to let them snatch a ten, not even a single pillar would end up resting in their grasp!

To do so, he needed to counter the scheme they were executing right now, and so he wanted a small help from his master.

"Master, may I ask you about something?"

As the venerable huge eyes appeared freezing everything, he didn\'t delay to speak up his mind. His master kept his silence in the last pillars, rarely praising or speaking to him.

"A help?" the master asked before adding, "you did a great job already, but my abilities here are limited, so don\'t expect much even from me," he added, clarifying things to Arthur so he wouldn\'t be greatly disappointed.

"I need just a small piece of intel," Arthur said, before adding, "My enemy is planning to cut the route of my entry to here. He is using the red pillar out there to establish new portals. I just want to know if there is a group of pillars being close to each other, like in the same region or something."

He explained with haste things here and what he wanted from the master. He was pretty sure the master wasn\'t free all time to hear everything, so he tried to sum things up.

As for the master he kept his silence for a moment before he spoke again:

"This is actually quite easy and tricky at the same time. I know the places of all pillars in this world, so I can tell you now there are two places like you asked for in the remaining cluster of pillars in your region, but the trick lies in how can I inform you about the places of such pillars."

Arthur understood the meaning of the master, so he had no other option but to use the rude and crude method. "Then I would be a troubling master to let him inform me whenever I step into one of these places."

"This is the only feasible solution you have," the master said before adding, "good luck lad, and hurry up as this isn\'t one of these places and that red light pillar is appearing everywhere around the pillars of your region."

"Thanks for the warning master," despite him knowing already such intel, he respectfully thanked the master with such courtesy before heading towards the pillar to redeem it.

The resistance he faced from the monsters and warriors were now gone as everything except for him and his two girls was petrified in place. so he went back easily and stepped to the star map, where he was met with a barrage of angry words coming from Tina!
