Chapter 285: Lightning Constitution Vs Tubian Of Lightning
Somehow, this reply made him smile. His mood was elated and his heart was filled with happiness. Both D and Hudson glanced at each other in confusion.
'If that is the case, then this Tubian is so dead!'
Hudson was so confused that he queried-
[If what is the case?]
'Forget it.
D, you said that Utopia's radius is four times the radius of Earth, right?'
[Umm, yeah. To be accurate, the radius is almost 25,498 kilometres.
Is there any problem?]
Lee took a glance at the vain attempt to the Tubian to annoy him and turned around. His eyes fixed on the horizon had a sparkle in them.
'On the contrary, we have found the solution.'
Countless numbers began to flood Lee Shen's mind and the supercomputer was at its maximum capacity. As Lee stood there frozen, his brain was trying to find a number. A number that was vital in defeating this Tubian.
A few seconds later, the brightness of his face faded away. Not only the result was unexpected, but also impractical.
But he was not downcast.
'Workshop.'
The vigour came back with a vicious grin and his hands began to move. The fingers started to dance and another unique construct was born!
---------
[Hmmm...I remember this object. It is from your original world, isn't it?]
'Then tell me it's named.'
A silence followed Lee Shen's words while D scratched his head to remember the object's name.
When D admitted defeat, Hudson said-
[I know. It is a rocket.]
Lee nodded twice in acknowledgement to his answer. D had a blank face when he saw Hudson's blissful face.
[But why are you making a rocket?]
--------
Four minutes later.
The Tubian was constantly scanning his surroundings but could not find anything in his senses. He had thought about going back multiple times.
But he was interested to know the identity of the person who was lurking around him. If possible, he wanted to dissect that person or object.
His interest soon died out due to lack of any disturbance around him. Thinking that the intruder had run away, he was about to fly back to where he came from when he heard a voice.
"Immature ass*ole!"
The Tubian paused his tracks and turned around to see a figure coming out of concealment. As the Tubian's eyes locked with Lee's, he could feel this mysterious person's anger boiling inside him.
"What are you looking at, pu**y?"
Lee Shen sounded extraordinarily brave when plucking the hair off of this superhuman being. Not to mention that D heard the knuckles of the Tubian cracking.
The young man tried to control his anger and attempted to answer in a civilised manner. But Lee Shen was yet to stop.
"You don't know-"
"Try me, bitch!"
The anger began to accumulate and intense lightning spheres began to appear in the Tubian's palms. They stuck on his body and began to spread all over the Tubian's skin.
Now, that young man was like the manifestation of the Lightning itself!
[Shit! He's trying to integrate the Amortal's power and his affinity to product enhancement.]
'Too late to withdraw.'
Large quantities of Mana began to disappear from the reserve and Lee could feel the destructive presence nearing him by each attack. He was barely dodging the Tubian's attack with the under the combined assistance of Foresight and the Mana-enhanced agility!
Fortunately, Lee Shen had already integrated with the Law of Lightning. Or else he would have turned to ashes by now!
'Even evading has become difficult.'
The lightning strikes never followed a linear trajectory. It turned, twisted and twirled however it liked. This characteristic of lightning along with its destructive capabilities exponentially increased lightning's atrocity.
Fierce lightning strikes rarely bounced off of his skin while most attacks brushed his skin while severely injuring his epidermis. The pain constantly reminded of his situation, that he had poked his head into the hive of a bee.
[Mana at 2000.]
'Refill, refill.
Hudson, how long do we need to hang on?'
[More than a minute.]
'Screw me.'
Lee Shen was finally taking some serious hits when he urged Hudson to quicken whatever he was doing. The pain was pushing his limits and his brain was feeling overwhelmed for the first time after arriving at Zaxaluke.
=====
2 AM.
5,977,600 Essence harvested.
=====
At the worst moment possible, the hourly notification appeared. The translucent panel obstructed Lee Shen's visibility for a split second. That decided the outcome of the battle!
BAM!
Under the impact of rampaging lightning, Lee Shen was twitching uncontrollably while trying to stand up in the air. All of his being was severely beaten up and damaged, and was beyond the scope of the healing of Mana or Qi.
Lee Shen grabbed his chest as he coughed up blood.
'Bloody mess, it is.'
With a stable footing, Lee Shen overcame the lightning's effects with willpower. He then tried to take on offence.
But...
The realisation that both of his forelimbs are burnt crisp made him furrow his brows. The ragged breathing was quickly steadied, but the accumulated fatigue, remaining in his body was restraining his movement.
"I heard you call me all kinds of curse words. And it turns out that you are all talk and no show."
With blood and black scorch marks all over his body, Lee Shen gave out a mocking chuckle.
"Oh, you still have the strength to laugh?"
The Tubian seemed surprised by Lee Shen's endurance. He could not help but applaud his enemy's durability.
But this person must fall, the Tubian thought.
Lee Shen coughed once more as the Tubian took a step forward. Wiping the trace of blood with his wrist, Lee Shen stared at the Tubian.
"For a Tubian, you are weak."
The victorious smile on the Tubian's face faded away and his face expressed a combination of many emotions. There was a surprise, confusion, cringe, cautiousness, anger and curiosity on his face.
But the Tubian then revealed a relaxed face with a grin.
