They all call me Great Master-Chapter 979 - 948: Lies X Dream

This hand, of course, Arthur recognizes.

Or rather...

For this hand, and even the ring on it, Arthur remembers them vividly!

This hand belongs to 'Death'.

And the appearance of 'Death' was not surprising to Arthur at all—That human puppet pretending to be the Old Lion absolutely had the mark of this opponent.

The 'Death Poetry Society' is sheltered in the Inner Bay.

In the secret technique [Distortion], 'Death' is one of the anchor points.

And the appearance of [Deception Fragment One].

Of course...

There is also his talent [Breath of Death].

All of this led Arthur to speculate: 'Death' not only arranged for that puppet pretending to be the Old Lion but also targeted him from early on.

His talent [Breath of Death] upgraded because of the opponent, providing him great convenience.

But,

There may be hidden dangers.

For example: the opponent may be able to peep into his heart at some point.

As for extracting death?

That too is possible.

Therefore, Arthur is always ready with [Parasitic Revival].

But death had not arrived.

It's clear that the layout of 'Death' encountered some errors, or perhaps some unexpected occurrences happened: [Omnivorous]!

Exclusively his, the [Omnivorous] hidden under the guise of talent in the 'War God's Three-piece Set'!

This is a gift from Old Charlie.

Also, a life-saving talisman given to Arthur by Old Charlie.

Previously, Arthur had his doubts.

But after a brief exchange with Old Charlie, he confirmed it.

Arthur would never ignore the look in Old Charlie's eyes.

Therefore, Arthur looks forward to formally meeting 'Death'.

He really wants to end the 'fateful entanglement' with the Kledos Family and his opponent.

Thus, Arthur sincerely speaks the words 'You finally came'.

Watching that paused palm, Arthur grins.

"Are you really not going to meet me formally?"

The young spirit medium said.

Yet, in his heart, the young spirit medium thought.

'Six times, already six times!

This is the seventh time!

You are really tenacious!

But this time, I will definitely succeed!'

The young spirit medium kept his eyes fixed on that palm, while XP was being consumed rapidly—

[Consumed 100000XP, Stone Bullet Technique Lv2→Lv3]

[Stone Bullet Technique Lv3: Initially created by Hercules to play marbles with the children on the street, but as the secret technique was delved into, the standing of the Stone Bullet Technique kept improving. Ultimately, during one viewing of a meteor shower, Hercules had a sudden thought of using meteors as the stone bullets.

Finally—

He succeeded!]

[Effects: 1, Finger Bullet; 2, Meteor Bomb]

[Finger Bullet: Based on spirituality, consumes physical strength to manipulate 1-999 pebble-sized stones within a 1000-meter radius using Glyphic Language Pa, targeting any object in your line of sight, inflicting damage from normal bullet to Stage I]

[Meteor Bomb: Pulls a meteoroid from outer space into the atmosphere, forming a high-temperature, massive-impact meteor bomb, causing widespread terrifying damage even true demigods would avoid]

(Note 1: Finger Bullet and Meteor Bomb do not require incantation of Glyphic Language, can be performed silently)

(Note 2: Finger Bullet and Meteor Bomb cannot be performed simultaneously)

(Note 3: Meteor Bomb's initial power is equivalent to V, strengthening with the descent)

...

Following the intuition brought by [Spiritual], Arthur chose [Stone Bullet Technique] without hesitation.

And the 100000XP spent to upgrade [Stone Bullet Technique] to Lv3 did not disappoint Arthur, it turns out it can bring down meteoroids from space to form a meteor strike.

However, it's not enough.

Continue!

Arthur maintained a focused posture as 200000XP was consumed directly.

[Stone Bullet Technique] reached Lv4.

Apart from further increased power.

There was an additional attribute——

[Moon Star Shift: Not a truly completed secret technique, yet it can still momentarily draw the moon into the sky, requiring great physical strength, with spirituality as support]

...

Looking at the effects of [Moon Star Shift], Arthur became more and more confident.

'The possession on Arthur has exhausted too many permissions too.

Now the permissions...

Can probably be used one more time!

However, it's enough to fool this fool.'

As Arthur muttered 'fool' in his heart, the ripple beneath that palm started to swiftly broaden.

'Death' appeared on the other side.

'Death' stood tall, eyes filled with arrogance.

While the young man, middle-aged man, and old man who had originally fought 'Death', even gaining the upper hand, were now kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.

All three were more or less injured.

The young man was the most severely injured, having lost his left arm.

The middle-aged man was covered in blood, with his war hammer's head completely shattered.

The old man did not show it externally, but with every breath, fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

There is no doubt all three are at the brink of defeat and death.

This did not surprise Arthur.

Ever since seeing that puppet pretending to be the Old Lion use the secret technique [Transfer], Arthur knew that even with a numerical advantage, the three of them would find it hard to secure any real victory.

'As expected, a bunch of useless failures.

A waste of my multiple permissions to persist in this phase!

If I had known earlier...

Hmph!'

Looking at the three, Arthur snorted coldly in his heart, maintaining a smile on the surface.

"Good morning, Your Excellency 'Death'."

Arthur greeted.

Without waiting for 'Death' to respond, the young Aaron... no, it should be said Holy Sword Knight Icarus, Old Charlie's adoptive father, nominally Arthur's great-grandfather, shouted directly——

"Arthur, quickly leave!
