Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 170 Both Masters Want to Beat You
Facing Amon's slightly sarcastic words, Bethel was not angry at all. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, saying:
"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood something. No one ordered me to do this. I took the initiative to come here and beat you up."

Bethel spoke bluntly. His azure eyes looked at Amon and he said seriously, "I wanted to do this in the Fourth Era, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

Amon paused, but his expression was not surprised. After all, he was not the kind of person who had no idea what was going on, and he had always had a clear understanding of how annoying he was.

So Amon just slowly pinched his monocle, then sighed in mock disappointment and said, "What a shame! I thought we were really friends!"

"We are indeed friends." This time, Bethel gave an answer that was beyond Amon's expectations. He looked at Amon and said with a smile:
"But that doesn't stop me from wanting to beat you up. Besides, there's no need to waste your time. I've already sealed off the space around here. You can't escape."

Bethel was not idle while chatting with Amon. He had secretly used the authority of space.

"Oh! That's hard to say." Amon didn't look surprised at all. The monocle on his face flashed at this moment, as if releasing something. The next second, there was a sound of breaking, and Amon's voice rang out:

"Bethel, this is no longer your time."

Apparently, Amon used the power of the bug to break Mr. Men's blockade and appeared a thousand meters away in an instant.

"You're right." Bethel nodded calmly. A gem appeared in his hand. He looked at Amon with a half-smile and said, "It's a pity that what I said just now was a lie."

The gem shattered at that moment, and Amon's expression in the distance changed accordingly. He felt a binding force emerge within him, the power of the seal. Under this power, Amon's aura quickly dropped, and in the blink of an eye, it dropped to the level of an ordinary Sequence 1. Even the monocle on his face, which symbolized the thief's uniqueness, dimmed at this moment.

Amon instantly realized that Mr. Men's actions just now were a trap. Whether it was mocking each other or blocking the space, it was all part of the trap. The purpose was to make him use the power of the bug to break through the blockade and thus achieve the prerequisite for the seal.

It was a simple trap, but it was difficult to avoid it. If Amon didn't break through the blockade and was trapped in a space, he would still be beaten.

"After not seeing you for so many years, I almost forgot that you are also a cunning guy, Bethel!" But Amon is worthy of being Amon. In a very short time, he adjusted his mood and said to Bethel with emotion.

Afterwards, Amon did not try to escape again. Instead, he straightened his clothes and said, "Whoever wants to beat me up this time, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amon felt a burning sensation behind him. The blood-red flame turned into a sharp spear and stabbed straight at the back of Amon's head, directly igniting Amon's clothes.

Amon narrowly avoided the attack by dodging the flaming spear that pierced his head. He then raised his hand and wiped his back, extinguishing the flames. He then looked at the person walking slowly towards him from a distance and said, "It's been so long, is this how you greet me, Medici?"

In response, the sky rained down fire, and Medici's mocking voice said, "Indeed, this is not enough!"

The rain of fire fell, turning the area into a sea of fire. Amon's figure was reduced to ashes in the flames. Medici did not show any smug expression, but instead narrowed his eyes.

"You really hold a grudge! I just killed you together with Adam. I wasn't even the mastermind. Is there any need to hold a grudge against you until now?" The next second, Amon's slightly aggrieved voice sounded in the flames. With a sigh, the flames disappeared and reappeared in the next second, but this time they appeared in the sky above Medici's head.

"It's a pity that it's useless for you to hold a grudge. I'm an evil spirit that can only rely on the characteristics of Sequence 1. Even if I'm sealed, what can you do to me?" Amon's voice sounded with a hint of teasing, and the flames seemed to be falling at this moment.

But the shadow of a giant silver snake flashed across the sky, and Amon's movements froze, and he was surrounded by the sea of fire again. The next second, Amon, who had been acting with ease, fell down for no reason.

"Ourolus!"

Amon almost immediately realized who was coming. He looked up at the Angel of Fate Ouroboros who appeared next to Medici. He, who had always been calm and composed, actually looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"This is the Lord's order." Ouroboros glanced at Amon calmly, gave him the answer he wanted, and said honestly, "The Lord wants to beat you."

After a pause, Ouroboros even added: "No matter which lord it is, he wants to beat you up."

If Amon had only laughed mockingly upon hearing the previous answer, his expression froze upon hearing Ouroboros's additional words, and his eyes became terrifying.

Obviously, no matter how at ease he was, Amon was a little upset after hearing that his own father wanted to beat him.

"...Then let Him do it himself." Amon was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly looked up at Bethel, who had arrived nearby without knowing when, and said sharply, "If the Sun God wants to teach me a lesson, let Him do it himself."

"Oh! You have a nice idea, but why do you want to eat and take it at the same time! I'm afraid you will feel great if you let the Sun God beat you."

Luo Lin's voice sounded, with a hint of teasing. He walked out from behind Bethel, wearing the Lucifer vest, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the latter. He looked at Amon with a smile and continued, "After all, everyone here knows that you are a serious father complex, Amon!"

Amon raised his hand and pinched the monocle on his face after seeing the person coming. Although the person in front of him was completely different from the memory sent back by the clone, they were all high-sequence and it was naturally impossible to recognize people by face. Amon naturally guessed that the guy in front of him was the one who summoned the Ancient Sun God a few months ago and gave Him the experience of what it meant to have a father's love as powerful as a landslide.

"It's you!" No one knew what Amon was thinking at this moment. After a brief pause, Amon smiled and said:
"I don't know what you're planning to do, but instead of cooperating with this bunch of idiots, how about making a deal with me? As long as you can let me see my father, you can offer any bargaining chip you can."

"That sounds really touching." Luo Lin showed a fake smile and said with emotion: "Although Amon, you are a naughty child, your love for your father is indeed real enough..."
