The Bone Dragon flapped its wings and closed in on Arthur, its pale bone claws lashing out with a force that carried a poison capable of corroding anything.
The Bartender, having regained his composure, controlled the Soul Devouring Demon Statue to swing its tattered giant scythe. Countless Soul-binding Chains shot out once more, sealing off all of Arthur's paths for evasion.
Arthur's eyes sharpened as he gripped the Excalibur with a reverse hold, his Battle Intent burning fiercely.
His figure shifted horizontally like Gui Mei, dodging the Bone Dragon's claw strike while simultaneously sweeping his blade, severing most of the Soul-binding Chains.
"Clang—!"
The blade collided with the giant scythe, sending sparks flying in every direction.
Arthur used the momentum to fly backward, raising his left hand at the same time.
The Spiritual Power Domain, Return to the Void, unfolded.
Though they were both in the Spirit Abyss Realm, the Bartender still fell victim to the Spirit Ability, which had been sublimated by a hundred thousand year spirit bone and the power of the plane.
Seizing that moment of his distraction,
what awaited him was another of Arthur's mental Spirit Abilities.
Star Abyss Shattering Realm!
"Crack..."
The Bartender felt as if he were a mirror, easily shattered into pieces.
In a daze, he was about to sink into the darkness of unconsciousness.
"Wait, what? How did you fall for it again?"
At the critical moment, the Bone Dragon's roar erupted like a thunderclap, and dark green venom, carrying the force of breaking wind, smashed violently toward Arthur.
Arthur was forced to dodge to the side, causing his offensive to stall for a moment.
"If it happens again, I'm not saving you!"
In that brief opening, the Bartender spat out a mouthful of black blood, forcibly breaking free from the shackles of the dual mental Spirit Abilities.
"Easy for you to say. He keeps targeting me, what choice do I have?"
The Bartender's eyes were as red as blood, looking like a madman as his hands rapidly formed seals in front of his chest: "Ninth Spirit Ability, Demonic Puppet Sacrifice!"
As the words fell, the already battered Soul Devouring Demon Statue suddenly erupted with a blinding black light.
It melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into torrents of pitch-black Soul Power that flooded entirely into the Bartender's body.
The Bartender's aura surged wildly, and his previously withered frame instantly straightened.
He waved his hand, and the Soul-binding Chains filling the air twisted like living creatures, coiling toward Arthur. The chains were further wreathed in a bizarre black mist capable of devouring Souls.
On the other side, the Bone Dragon also took the opportunity to strike. Its bone wings folded as its massive body slammed into Arthur like a cannonball, its pale bone claws gleaming with a cold light as they bore down on him.
Arthur remained silent, merely swinging his holy sword relentlessly. Every strike carried a terrifying power.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of the blade colliding with bone claws and chains were as dense as drumbeats, with sparks flying everywhere.
Arthur's silhouette flickered as he wove through the pincer attack of the Bone Dragon and the Bartender.
The mental shock of the Star Abyss Shattering Realm erupted once more, as invisible mental blades poured out like a torrential rain.
The Bartender was prepared this time, but he still let out a muffled groan, black blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
