Chapter 284: Finding The Flaw

A single punch! All it took for the Tubian to break through his impenetrable skin was a single punch!

Tanya might be the most powerful Tubian Lee Could have met until now, but she was not troublesome to deal with, because of her pride and arrogance.

Life imbued Mana covered the hand but it was not healing!

[Lee, we are in serious trouble.]

The wound leaking with blood and brimming with pain was hesitant to heal. No matter how many times he tried, the hand seems to out of the scope of Mana's healing.

Lee Shen raised his eyes and looked at the Tubian. The rage, enough to tear that man like a piece of paper, subsided as the trio saw the Tubian glancing all around him in confusion.

'The camouflage is pretty good.'

As they observed, the Tubian sent strikes of lightning around him. This made Hudson conclude that the punch was a lucky shot.

[Or maybe not. It could be because the Tubian felt something threatening behind him.]

D was correct. When Lee Shen shot up towards the mysterious man, his mind murmured one single word - kill!

'You are right.'

Lee Shen deactivated all efforts to heal his left hand and let it swing lifeless. Every second, it sent loads of pain into his brain. It took him some time to win over the emotions of suffering.

"Huff..."

Letting out a mouthful of air, he relaxed his limbs as he levitated within the concealment. His mind quickly calmed down and was as tranquil as an open ocean.

[Now you may.]

The Dark element guzzled Mana like a hungry jumbo jet and Lee moved forward. He flew at a gentle pace and took his time to close the distance as the Tubian was spraying his affinity element all over the sky.

Dodging and evading, Lee finally came in 15 metres within the Tubian.

Then...

The Tubian quickly turned to his direction and slammed his palm. This time, Lee Shen was able to feel the movement and dodged the attack. Yet, it still made Lee feel the pressure of an Amortal's power.

'Every attack is imbued by the Amortal's power. This guy is well exploiting the new enhancement.'

After dodging the strikes a couple more times, Lee Shen retreated a few metres backward. Surprisingly, the Tubian lost his attack streak!

But the man stood with ferocious eyes. His palms had consolidated lightning balls to throw at any given time.

A doubt rose up in Hudson's mind. Before he could convey it, Lee Shen expressed the same guess.

'I think this Tubian cannot detect beyond a distance.'

After he spoke, Hudson added-

[And within that range he is literally a god.]

Lee nodded at the statement and stepped near the Tubian a dozen times. Whenever he is 14 metres from the Tubian, he would attack.

[We got the range. But how do we attack?]

To kill someone was easy. But to kill someone who has a field of sovereignty around him, that was inconceivable!

'If that is the case, than let's keep this man busy.'

With a funny smirk, Lee propelled himself like a jet and entered and exited the Tubian's range of detection several times. The man became irritated with this random popping up on detections while he could not see shit!

---------------

Have you all seen how the monkeys living in Africa plays pranks on lions by pulling their tails and quickly jumping up the tree?

Well, Lee Shen was the monkey and the Tubian who was getting increasingly annoyed, was the lion.

His actions had multiple intentions. One, to evaluate the power and pressure of his attacks. Two, to find any blind spots around him. Three, to check his sensitivity to the variables. Four, to agitate the person so much that both Hudson and D could scan the Tubian to the tiniest detail.

'Ugh, this man no blind spots. He is invincible inside the range.'

As soon as Lee Shen let the duo know of his conclusion, they expressed their evaluations.

[Each of his attacks are above the value shown in the stats. It means he is well-versed in the usage of the Amortal's power.]

[But his body and soul is sensitive to variables such as emotions and changes in atmosphere. We could make use of that part.]

Soon after, Lee Shen discovered that the Tubian had a much quicker response to attacks with killing intent and rage, than attacks with no remorse of deed.

'Even if I attack with no killing intent, he would still intercept my strike. I can only boost my agility to a certain extent.'

As the trio brainstormed to find a solution, the Tubian wore a mocking smirk on his face and lowered his hands. The rampaging lightning disappeared and he spoke-

"I see that you are a coward bastard. If you were born with a spine, you would not have fought like a jumping monkey."

The Tubian was a young and well-built man with a dark-chocolate complexion. He had a typical wanderer outfit. His proud voice fell in Lee Shen's ears.

'He is trying to piss me off so as to pull me out of my concealment. Clever move, but took him long enough.'

[The problem is yet unsolved. You need to distract his attention and deal a killing blow.]

Lee Shen did not reply, but stood there observing the Tubian. The man would move around in the sky in completely random path and Lee had to avoid falling in his range.

After thorough contemplation, Lee Shen asked D.

'When I grabbed Tanya's face, it felt like any normal person's skin. I was able to get a good grip over her face which stunned her.

Isn't that because the peak standards of human body are also applicable to Tubians?'

After a dozen of seconds, D replied-

[Hudson took a view of Tanya's corpse and it is like any normal body. It is susceptible to injuries and wounds.

I think it is the presence of their souls that gives birth to unnatural stat values.]
