Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao - Chapter 194 Saving Helia

Chapter 194  Saving Helia

Amidst the dense foliage of the Skybreak Dark Forest, Anastasia led Arthur away from the familiar grounds of the academy.

The forest exuded an otherworldly aura, the towering trees casting elongated shadows as they ventured deeper into the territory.

As they approached deeper into the forest Arthur used his soul power to scan without holding back and he immediately saw a scene.

He thought about a lot of things and decided to reveal a bit of his strength.

“I know where they are. Don’t resist.”

“Wha-?!” Without responding to Anastasia’s startled question he carried her on his arms and bolted with a speed greater than what any peak stage Martial King Realm cultivator can match.

*Swoosh!*

Anastasia was shocked as she didn’t expect this but then she blushed when she discovered that she was in Arthur’s arms.

‘How strong are you now?’ she wondered.

But more than this she was also happy for Arthur and also that Helia will be okay since Arthur was this strong. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Deep with the forest, beneath a hill.

The air crackled with tension, and a sense of urgency filled the atmosphere. The sight of the scene was chaotic—a pack of giant blue lightning wolves charging at a group of royal academy students, encircling them in a frenzied onslaught.

At the forefront, Helia summoned her earth elemental martial spirit, battled the formidable Golden Lightning Wolf King.

The strength of the spirit beast was just able to match mid-level martial king realm cultivators but Helia’s strength was only at the first stage of the Martial King Realm.

More over she had just broken through not long ago and had not yet stabilized her cultivation realm, so she was on the weaker side and can only defend against the wolf king’s attack.

Helia’s movements were swift and precise, a dance with the elements. She unleashed her martial spirit, the earth elemental energy creating a protective barrier against the relentless attacks of the Golden Lightning Wolf King.

*Zap!*

*Bang!*

Cracks will appear on the barrier with each attack of the world but Helia would quickly repair it.

At the same time she would divide her attention and lauch a bunch of saber attacks at the wolf King with her other hand.

“Gale Slash!*

*Howl!*

The forest echoed with the clash of primal forces, the ground quivering with the impact of each strike.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, a colossal figure with fur crackling like a storm, lunged at Helia with unparalleled ferocity. Its eyes glowed with an unsettling intelligence, and its attacks were a blur of golden lightning.

Helia fought valiantly, her every movement calculated. She countered the wolf king’s strikes with her own, but the sheer strength of the creature overwhelmed her.

The battle reached a crescendo, the clash of elements creating a symphony of power that reverberated through the forest.

The battle in the Skybreak Dark Forest intensified, each clash resonating with primal energy.

As Helia fought valiantly against the Golden Lightning Wolf King, a group of individuals observed the turmoil from a hill not far away.

Their malicious intent was evident in the sneers that adorned their faces. The leader of this group, a high-ranking noble’s daughter, harbored a long-standing grudge against Helia for her talent and beauty.

Her thought was that a girl of commoner origin can not be more talented than her. And Helia never respected her to she hated her.

Morever she believes Arthur to be a useless waste and hence why she dared take such action as she never thought she would be found out.

The group chatted leisurely, reveling in the orchestrated predicament that had befallen Helia’s faction.

“How long do you think they’ll last?”

“Maybe ten minutes?”

“Hey, you underestimate the wolf King too much. It isn’t yet going all out and is just playing with his food.”

“True, in five minutes at most or less, they should be done.”

Their mockery then extended to Arthur, whom they believed incapable of cultivation. Unbeknownst to them, the unfolding drama in the forest would soon defy their expectations.

As the battle reached a critical juncture, Helia, momentarily off balance, faced a potent strike from the Golden Lightning Wolf King.

The wolf king, seizing the opportunity, unleashed a terrifying lightning attack that crackled through the air, a deadly trajectory aimed at Helia.

Helia, expecting the worst, closed her eyes, bracing for the inevitable.

“I’m sorry Arthur,” whispered.

However, at that moment, Arthur arrived at the scene with unparalleled speed. Positioning himself between Helia and the impending attack, he intercepted the lethal lightning strike with his bare fist.

*Boom!*

The impact echoed through the forest, a clash of forces that sent shockwaves rippling through the surroundings.

Arthur’s stance remained resolute as the lightning dispersed around him, leaving Helia unscathed.

“Sorry for what,” he turned and asked with a smile.

Helia was shocked for a whiles and couldn’t respond immediately.

The group on the hill, witnessing this unexpected turn of events, fell into stunned silence. The leader, the jealous noble’s daughter, had her sneer replaced with disbelief. She exchanged glances with her companions, their false confidence shattered by the display of Arthur’s unexpected prowess.

Arthur turned to Helia, his eyes reflecting concern. “Are you alright?”

Helia, still processing the sudden turn of events, nodded with a mix of gratitude and astonishment. “I… I’m fine. Thank you.”

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, infuriated by the interference, snarled with heightened aggression.

Arthur, his gaze locked onto the formidable adversary, prepared for the ensuing clash. The battle had reached a pivotal moment, and the forest seemed to hold its breath.

The group on the hill, recovering from their initial shock, watched the unfolding spectacle with widened eyes. The noble’s daughter, her jealousy evolving into resentment, clenched her fists. The tables had turned, and the narrative they had woven would be known at this point.

“No, this can’t be. Since when did he have such strength?” She muttered in shock.

“Young Miss, I think we should leave… immediately.” A hidden figure appeared and whispered.

The forest, once echoing with the cacophony of battle, now hung in suspense. The primal forces at play intertwined, creating a momentary lull before the storm. Arthur, his every movement a testament to his newfound strength, stood as a guardian against the looming threat.

‘Hmm, an interesting wolf. How to deal with it?’ Arthur thought as he had countless means to do so.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, undeterred by the previous setback, prepared for another assault. The air crackled with tension as it faced each other, the outcome of the battle uncertain.

Anastasia, having joined the fray, rallied the remaining faction members, preparing for a coordinated counterattack against the blue lightning wolves.

As Arthur intercepted the Golden Lightning Wolf King’s attack, his eyes, sharp and gleaming, turned towards the hill where the scheming group had been watching.

A sneer graced his face, a silent reproach that cut through the air like a blade. The group, now exposed in their malevolence, recoiled under the weight of Arthur’s scorn.

With a shift of his attention, Arthur refocused on the imminent threat—the formidable Golden Lightning Wolf King.

A subtle vibration emanated from him, a force tuned precisely to the frequency the wolf could perceive. Activating his bloodline aura, Arthur’s presence surged, and the air seemed to quiver with an unseen power.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, once poised for another assault, suddenly faltered.

A whimper escaped its massive frame, a sound that echoed through the forest. In an instant, a chain reaction unfolded, and the pack of blue lightning wolves, once eager for battle, retreated. The wolf king led them, leaving the battlefield in a blur of motion.

In simple words, it turned tails and…ran.

The sudden reversal left the group on the hill dumbfounded. The high-ranking noble’s daughter, the architect of this orchestrated chaos, now wore an expression of panic. Her carefully laid plans had crumbled in the face of the unexpected appearance of Arthur.

“What just happened?”

Arthur turned away from the retreating wolves, his gaze settling on the academy students he had just rescued.

Relief and gratitude emanated from their eyes as they realized the danger had passed. In an awe-inspiring display, Arthur had quelled the formidable pack with nothing but his presence.

With a calm demeanor, Arthur approached the group, his hand extended. “Take these healing pills. They’ll aid in your recovery,” he offered.

Gratitude flowed from the students as they accepted the pills, each expression a blend of appreciation and respect. Arthur’s actions had not only saved them from the brink of defeat but had showcased a strength that transcended their expectations.

Among the relieved faces, Helia stepped forward, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. She bowed slightly, a gesture of respect. “Thank you, Prince Arthur. We owe you our lives.”

Arthur dismissed the formality with a smile as he shook his head. “You don’t need to act like this with me right?”

Helia smiled and said nothing more and immediately sat down to recuperate. As she was severely injured during this time.

After a while she had recovered and the tension eased. Helia began recounting the events that had led to their perilous situation.

She explained how they had been intentionally led into the Skybreak Dark Forest by girl’s group on the hill, setting the stage for the confrontation with the wolf pack.

Arthur listened attentively, his eyes darkening at the revelation. The underhanded tactics of the group on the hill touched his bottom line.

“A mere noble dared plot against one of mine?” Arthur sneered.

“Don’t worry, she will soon know despair, including her family.”
