Star Eater

Chapter 567: Chapter 567

Arthur's Point of View

Crawlana

My eyes darted about waiting for a response of any kind. Any hint, any flicker of magic that might appear. The magic had dispersed, and all forms of attacks, had come to a halt. If they acted out of fear, I could understand the sudden hostility, but there was no point in keeping an enemy alive if they would hound us in the future.

"In honor of my daughter, I will even name it the Mariana Trench as it resembles her name, and it holds some manner of meaning to me."

Streams of ice launched at me from every direction. Without moving, they either were sucked into my orb, or they shattered against the multitude of gravity pillars surrounding me. After hundreds, maybe even thousands of those lances failed to hit me even once, everything came to a complete stop. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of my orb break the buildings below as they floated up to me.

Another High Elf, or Aridian, stood before me. She worm garbs that reminded me of the Aridian from Dwardew, but in the form of a dress. One that seemed old, yet nonetheless, beautiful. Blue hair danced in the water while blending in with it in the flickering of the lights. Her eyes were a light blue that matched her hair. She reminded me of the polar opposite in color coordination compared to her ward. However, she was as beautiful as every other Elven woman I had seen till now.

"Will the High Elf speak to me now?" I asked her.

She instantly frowned. "High Elf?" The woman repeated in disgust. "You dare refer to me as an Elf?" So, she could understand me despite us being underwater.

I would've quirked a brow at that if I wasn't in my transformed state. "Is that not what they-"

Before I could finish, she disappeared. There was no warning, or sign she had teleported, but she had appeared directly above me. Stepping to the side as thin swords of ice appeared in her hands, she came down where I once stood. Slamming Defiance down on her, my eyes widened as I only connected with what appeared to be an ice form of her as it shattered and was taken away by the current.

Shadows danced in the light as something appeared over me again. Stepping back, a form of ice slammed down, piercing the temple stone below as it stayed there frozen. Jumping back again, another form of ice appeared where I was and repeated the same process, but in a different pose to the first one. Jumping, dodging, and twisting out of the way, the clones of ice eventually stopped appearing. Dozens of ice statues littered the temple grounds as I floated above studying the area.

The High Elf was hidden around here somewhere within this abyss. "I'd like to talk this out, but I'm quickly losing all interest in this. In Crawlana. Its people." Removing all water surrounding the Temple, the High Elf/Aridian appeared to be standing where she was when I first arrived. "And you." I said in a cold tone as I looked down at her.
