Chapter 337 - Daddy, I'm Hungry!
It was her fault not to help him, so why would he sacrifice his sword and Golam for her? If this encounter ended up with him reaping all the benefits, then he wouldn't mind that.
"At least I need to get answers, and this might work as an excellent card on the table," he said to himself while bypassing the giant and stupefied body of the Golam.
As the giant beauty watched him with a trembling body and glaring eyes while walking leisurely towards the green pond, he even stopped a couple of times to enjoy the sightseeing of his city.
But at last he reached the pond and finally waved for the sword to come.
"I'm still hungry, daddy."
This childish tone appeared so sudden in his mind to startle him. "Wow, you can speak again. Is this temporary?"
"No, I've been awakened, but I'm hungry daddy. I wanna blood."
"Don't worry, my dear," Arthur chuckled as he turned his gaze towards the giant body of the Golam, "daddy will make you eat till you are full." He then grabbed the sword, which got shrunk to fit his hand before returning to the city once more.
"It's all yours," he didn't forget to throw this word to the giant beauty which just sneered and said nothing. The next moment she appeared next to the pond and started absorbing it via a certain way of hers.
As for Arthur, he just glanced at her eagerness and anxious look before shaking his head and continued to head to the city. This time as he passed by the body of the Golam he threw the sword to it while softly muttering: "Go, it's all yours."
"Daddy is the best, yahoo!"
Arthur giggled as he watched the sword entering through the thick body of the Golam until the hilt before stopping there. Compared to the giant body of the Golam, this new child of his was really minute and hardly noticeable.
"I hope it can eat some before this giant body vanishes," he said to himself before returning to his previous spot, in front of the machines and giant chains.
At the first hour, the pillars were the only thing shining in the entire city when the darkness fell. The villagers lit up fire and gathered around as they learned from Amelia, who learned from Arthur that the Golam wouldn't be moved anymore.
At the second hour, the walls of the entire city shone as well. This took roughly three to four hours to make the entire walls shine like ignited fire.
The entire city was lit up in a strange mix of black and white light in the darkness's depth of the night. Arthur just glanced at this scene, feeling somehow proud. "This is my creation, this is my city!" he said to himself with extreme happiness and excitement.
After passing four hours, another thing shone. This time it was the deeply buried Ley Lines diagram, the infrastructure of his city all lit up at this moment.
It started faintly, yet after passing the first hour, everyone started to notice it. As the sixth hour passed, and just as the dawn was about to befall upon them; the entire city was literally lit up!
"That's… that's really what one can call a scene to behold!" he couldn't keep his excitement anymore, as he realized this was done by the vortex.
The vortex grew large to the degree to cover his entire city. As for the Golam, its body kept decaying, eaten away mainly by the vortex and minimal by his sword.
The small dust storm of particles was covered in the darkness's veil of the night for hours. It wasn't until the underground diagram lit up, then the particles glimmered in the reflection of this light.
Even the light of the fire pits lit all over the city dimmed in front of this scene! "Like this, my city can be spotted hundreds of miles away!" Arthur was very happy by all this, yet he was much expecting the final result of these changes.
Also, he was waiting to see what role he had to play in all this! He kept asking his system every passing hour, and he only got the same answer the system gave previously to him.
He was related to all this, yet he didn't feel any changes to his body.
Not until the moment of the dawn!
As the shaky light of the dawn stepped in the sky, Arthur suddenly felt a strange sensation in his soul.
It first started as itching, then as the light of the day intensified by the emergence of the sun, he felt much pain inside. It was like hundreds of needles were inserted inside his soul!
"This hurt!"
"Ding! You need to withstand this, this is only getting started."
"This… sigh, why should I get tormented by my fortune?"
He shook his head, helplessly trying to divert his attention away from the pain. Yet this didn't help, and the pain just kept escalating to the degree he couldn't stand anymore.
This kept going for hours, and when the sun went to the middle of the sky, he was literally rolling on the ground out of immense pain.
Yet he didn't scream! He tried to control his pain as much as he could, while not showing any weakness to anyone.
But he couldn't even sit straight on the ground, and this kept going for an entire hour. Amelia and everyone came running to him when everything started, as his face showed his deep pain.
"I'm fine, this is a have to go experience I have to bypass," he hardly said these words while trying not to scream out loud. Despite that, their anxious faces and his twisted body on the ground expressed the situation better than any words.
As the intense hour passed, he felt some refreshment finally. The pain started to gradually dissipate.. "Or my senses got dull from it?" he muttered to himself, yet either way he was getting better.
