Chapter 283: Tubian Of Lightning & Thunder

There was no expression on his face. But his mind was swinging between pain and happiness with passing moment. Both Hudson and D understood their helplessness as they silently witnessed the emotion eclipses.

*blip blip*

With a series of blip noises, the Map was automatically opened. Lee and the soul duo stared at the Map and saw something homing in on where they were.

As they observed, the object indicated by a radar blip decreased its distance to Lee Shen's position by 20 kilometres!

[Shit! That is a Tubian!!]

There was no need for any further explanations as they were the only residents of Zaxaluke to pull out such an agile feat. Without any delay, Lee Shen nose-dived into the city while activating the Dark element affinity.

After becoming one with the darkness, Lee Shen descended on one of the tallest buildings. He looked up into the sky with expectation and scanned the atmosphere. There was nothing notable in the sight and Lee Shen took a peek of the Map, only to see that the blip on the radar was already over the city.

*Crackling of thunder*

The sky lit up with a display of aggressive lightning and all the residents of the city were stunned. Everyone looked up and saw the threatening presence of nature.

"What is happening?"

"It was all until now."

"Is it going to rain?"

"Is this another calamity?"

"The god of thunder is angered!"

"..."

....

Standing on the top of a building, Lee Shen could hear the loud exclamations and enquiries down on the ground. The bustling streets became more chaotic and disordered at the sudden appearance of lightning and thunder.

But only Lee Shen saw the Tubian standing high up in the sky. The person stood with pride and swept his eyes across the horizon and around him. With the help of Foresight, Lee Shen could clearly see the confusion in his face.

[It looks like this Tubian is unaware of his fellow being's death.]

[I did not notice anything that was like a beacon when Tanya's soul perished. Then how did this person come here with such accuracy?]

[Maybe the shockwave alerted him.]

D and Hudson conversed about all possible ways through which this Tubian was known of the incident. They could not conclude, but they did affirm that this Tubian of lightning has no idea that Tanya perished.

'View.'

Lee Shen activated the skill and an information panel appeared in front of him.

"A Tubian toddler."

Lee mumbled and D and Hudson agreed with his statement. When comparing with the full-fledged Tanya and Hegerus, this 2 centuries old Tubian was like a toddler.

'Hmm...Lightning, eh?'

When Lee Shen's eyes shifted from the Tubian to its powers, a wild idea bloomed in his head. It did not take more than a second for both Hudson and D to realise his intent to experiment.

[Boy, I can see what you are thinking and that is equivalent to betting with your life. I advise you to discard that thought.]

Following this, Hudson spoke in favour or D and said that the idea is not only wild but weird and suicidal.

"Whatever, let's just defeat this boy."

Mana began to pool under Lee's feet and he shot up like a rocket. The Dark element was reactivated and Lee became invisible.

Though this Tubian was not too powerful, his Power and Dexterity stats could easily overpower Lee. Thus, the cover was necessary.

As if the concealment was not perfect, the Tubian looked down to where Lee was standing before. With a swing of his hand, the Tubian send a barrage of lightning down on the city.

BOOM!!

Lee quickly evaded the oncoming lightning and barely escaped from its threat. When flying through the rampaging strikes, Lee could feel a tinge of Amortal's power from it.

[This man also has the Amortal's power.]

The explosion that followed lightning when it touched the ground lit up the atmosphere like Christmas!

The shockwave generated from the impact was similar to a humongous meteor kissing the surface of Utopia!

The deafening boom made his eardrums to scream in pain and Lee Shen accelerated. With the coupled effect of Flight and Mana enhancement, he quickly neared the Tubian.

Through the Map, the magnitude of destruction was disclosed to him. The building over which he stood, had turned to ashes along with 22 or 23 buildings surrounding it. Screams of agony and pain saturated the air and almost a hundred lost their lives.

The shock that transmitted through the ground broke the foundation of many buildings. Streets were deformed with falling boulders and many were injured.

It was worth mentioning that the Cultivator's Guild experienced the greatest tremor in its history!

It only took a simple swing for a toddler Tubian to f**ck up many lives. It turned the serenity of the nightlife to a calamity of the world's end!

Anger boiled like water and his eyes turned vengeful. Lee Shen intended to kill this one just like how he killed Tanya. The overdose of Essence should do the trick, he assumed.

But as his hands almost caught the Tubian's neck from behind, the man twirled on his right foot and punched!

BAM!

The punch was too quick to see and Lee Shen could only bring his left arm partially in front of his chest. The surprise impact threw Lee Shen across the sky like a rubber ball!

[This guy seems more experienced and versed with the Amortal's power.]

Quickly, Lee steadied his position in the air using Flight. It helped his cancel the forces of the punch which threw him away.

When he thought that he was not injured, D reminded to take a look at his left hand.

The contact made Lee Shen's left forearm, wrist, palm and the fingers to scorch and burn. The hand had lost its skin under the exposure of concentrated lightning energy and was numb. It did not react to his neural senses not could he detect his left hand's forearm.
