"…w-wa-what?"
The Chief Priest was completely dumbfounded. He didn't think Arthur would actually survive a point-blank-range hit!
"...what just happened?"
Evan, who was also confused, asked and Arthur clenched the crystal in his hands before replying.
"My Dad's Power helped me, that's what."
Arthur clutched the crystal and dashed towards the stunned Chief Priest, swiftly stabbing his hand with Lostvayne and pinning it to the ground. He stomped on the priest's face to stifle any screams of pain and then wrenched the staff from his grasp.
The moment he touched it, the three jewels flared brightly and the powerful Authority within them lashed out at him.
From the Sky-Blue jewel, a torrent of lightning surged forth, incinerating all the flesh on his arm in an instant, leaving only charred and cracked bones.
The Sea Green jewel began to glow, preparing to lash out when the Obsidian Black jewel suddenly released a flash of dark light.
