Chapter 808 The Nests [3]: Déjà vu?

Varian watched on as a hundred lightning wyverns, each the size of a mini-plane flapped their wings and rose into the air.

Their red eyes shone with bloodlust as they locked onto the single outsider. Following that, a hundred lightning senses and a hundred lightning auras locked onto Varian.

"Urgh!"

Someone must have tied him up with a tight rope because Varian suddenly had trouble breathing.

In fact, he felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders. And he was certain that a huge hammer was slamming onto his chest, knocking every last breath of air out of his body.

The feeling was more similar to drowning for too long and gasping for that one breath.

"Haa!" Fighting the invisible weight pressing on his chest, Varian gasped for air and life returned to him.

The overwhelming pressure also turned bearable.

But that was the easiest part.

The lightning wyverns surrounded him left, right, forward, behind, up, and down.

A hundred low level 8 creatures roared and shot a concentrated lightning bolt.

The world itself seemed to glow golden at that moment.

In outer space, Seth raised his hands and formed a gravity barrier.

Two small but supercharged lightning bolts touched the barrier and exploded on contact.

The invisible barrier blasted into pieces and the weakened lightning bolts reached the dual awakener.

Seth covered his fists with chi and punched out.

A muffled sound escaped his lips as blood spilled out of his mouth. The Dual Awakener was blown back for miles.

Jezur and Lurth, the two level 9 Abyssals, didn't relax one bit despite the apparent upper hand in the exchange.

Just a split second later, the two felt a violent force twist their legs backward. As they channeled their mana to resist, an asteroid in the distance exploded into pieces and Seth reached them in a blink, his fists aimed at their throats.

The Abyssals turned their bodies into lightning and avoided the fatal attack. At the same time, they charged the lightning into Seth's body in a bid to electrocute him to death.

Seth and the Abyssals both were thrown back to the exchange.

Jezur and Lurth had internal injuries due to Seth's punch and their legs were bleeding heavily from the gravity twists.

Seth, on the other hand, had to deal with partially charred hands.

When the trio was about to resume their battle, something caught their attention.

They turned to Pluto.

"What the…?"

"They all woke up?"

"It's still early!"

A dazzling golden light was shining from Pluto. Despite being a thousand miles away, the light was visible even in outer space.

Seth's heart gripped in worry and he wanted to return to Pluto and retreat.

But a voice sounded in his earpiece and it put his anxiety to rest.

— — —

"This is one of the craziest situations I've ever faced." Floating a hundred miles above the golden light, Varian clicked his tongue.

The lightning bolts collided the next second and the golden light exploded.

Everything within the fifty-mile radius—mountains, military structures, Abyssals, even dust in the air—was reduced to ashes.

The lighting wyverns already sensed their target had escaped and launched a second wave of attack against him.

The sky literally rained with lightning bolts and this time, at least thirty lightning bolts heavily targeted the space.

As the space grew unstable, Varian's teleportation options were limited.

"Fuck." Cursing under his breath, Varian kicked the air and shot to the north like a cannonball.

He deftly avoided a dozen lightning bolts and covered a good distance on his way out.

A hundred lightning bolts and from all directions—that meant, only a dozen from each direction.

Even though he could already duke out with high level 8s, Varian wasn't certain about taking a hundred low level 8 attacks and surviving.

Heck, even if he did survive, lightning had a numbing property. Taking so many lightning attacks, he'd be slowed down for a few seconds at least. That would be more than enough time for the lightning wyverns to kill and eat him to the last bone.

Seeing Varian dodging their attacks, the wyverns roared and a change occurred.

The lightning bolts in the north that were already dodged by Varian suddenly turned around.

Compared to the ones coming from east, west, and south, these were the closest to Varian.

With another roar from the wyverns, the lightning bolts accelerated and reached him in a blink.

"Oh great!"

A golden explosion occurred mid-air and a cloud of reddish-golden dust spread out.

Out of the dust, a slightly injured Varian dashed out.

His clothes were torn apart and his skin was scorched. He was bleeding heavily from several places.

A particular injury on his shoulder was very deep and even showed his bones.

Despite his condition, Varian's speed remained high and he reached the end of the encirclement.

Twelve wyverns were flying in front of him and they were his last obstacle.

The eighty-eight wyverns were already rushing toward him and if he didn't hurry up, they'd catch up and this time, he might not have it this easy.

Varian's face hardened.

The space around him loosened and for the same telekinetic force, his speed rose by 50%!

The twelve wyverns were caught off guard, but quickly adjusted and bombarded him with heavy lightning.

Arcs of lightning snaked around Varian and formed a complete body armor. Facing lightning attacks, lighting armor was the second best choice to mitigate damage!

The lightning bolts bombarded Varian.

Due to the sheer momentum of the attacks, Varian was about to be blasted back.

But if that happened, he'd move closer to the wyverns that were coming to catch him.

Varian increased his telekinetic force to the limit and moved forward despite the lightning attacks.

His armor broke apart like glass and the lightning bolts were about to pierce his body.

A layer of thin but ridiculously hard ice covered his skin and warded off the lightning attacks.

Only two lightning bolts managed to break through the ice armor and Varian bore these attacks with his bare body.

Two bloody cavities appeared on his body, one on his left shoulder and one on his stomach as the lightning bolts pierced through him. Blood spilled out and the smell of burning flesh filled the air.

Without any pause to recover, Varian launched his own attacks.

The wyverns thought that like any sane creature, Varian would back off facing their attacks. So, they didn't move back or prepare to dodge.

But the madman advanced forward and it caught them off guard.

Exploiting the situation, Varian punched two wyverns. The first one's head was blown into pieces while the second one's entire chest went missing.

He kicked the third and fourth to death.

The space around the fifth wyvern cracked and sliced its neck, ending its life abruptly.

Two branches pierced the eyes of the sixth and seventh wyverns and crushed their brains.

The eighth and ninth wyverns bit each other's neck in induced rage.

The tenth and eleventh wyverns had their necks strangled by the telekinetic force.

The twelfth one was frozen to death.

All of this happened in a flash.

By the time the eighty-eight wyverns rushed here, Varian escaped out of the encirclement and got out of the area with unstable space.

Then, he channeled his space power madly and teleported to the ends of Pluto.

To the final nest.

"ROAR!"

Varian rubbed his forehead as he saw the new batch of wyverns that just awakened.

"Déjà vu?"
