Chapter 461 - My Sister...

Name:The God Virus Author:MadReader
She elaborated how her miss and Ra had dueled until it ended with her defeat. Not being able to tolerate her defeat, Henna had interfered but only ended up getting beaten up to her current state. 

At that time, understanding that she was no opponent for them, she had escaped back to the Sphinx and awaited Virus’ return, her last hope.

“Hmm? Is that so?” Gently touching his chin while raising a single brow, many contemplations and even brief suspicions crept into Virus’ head. He felt as if many of the descriptions didn’t quite add up concerning a few details he knew about the cheeky woman.

Still, in the end, he was resolved to go and see for himself, thus, he announced, “Lead the way, we’re going there.”

Meanwhile, Virus’ mind began to overwork itself as he swiftly settled on the next attribute for his second form of the Peak-Human movement technique.

In the previous form, Virus had made use of the electricity to make his muscles and nerves faster than it should be possible at the current level of his cultivation. Therefore, Virus considered the internal work done.

In the following attribute, Virus wanted something that could complement the speed of his impulse in any manner possible.

Due to that, after deliberating hard on the topic in his time freeze perception, Virus figured out another factor that was hindering his body all the time.

That attribute was the wind itself. To be more precise, it was the air resistance that obviously impeded the path of everyone beyond a certain degree of speed.

After having made up his mind, Virus began contemplating how he was going to equip the wind attribute or something similar in a way that would at least lower the resistance he felt with each charge.

‘I need to combine my energy with the wind attribute and then discharge them all on the surface of my body in a way that it would stop or lower the air resistance.’

As he reached that conclusion, subsequently, he began working on the little details.

Since the air resistance was basically air particles hitting against the moving force and thus lowering its speed by hitting its surface, what Virus needed to do was to somehow force the air particles themselves to move out of his way before they successfully reach the surface of his body and slow him down.

To do so, Virus began developing and arranging his energy in a way that only by releasing it to the surface of his body, it would automatically open up his path and clear it of any possible air resistance. 

‘After adding the quality of air particles to my energy, I shall design it in a manner that would easily push aside the air particles. However, in order to achieve that…’ 

Having reached this point in his thinking process, Virus recalled a specific device called ‘water turbine’ which is a rotary machine much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind.

The reason why he thought of water turbines and not a windmill mainly had to do with the way they were designed as a water turbine was more suitable for his unique purpose.

‘Hmm, not one, but two water turbines side by side to be more exact.’ Concluding the final picture in his head, Virus decided to add the attribute of air particles to his energy and then begin the process of creating the circulation system for the front of his physique.

He wanted to create two circulations in front of his body much like two water turbines that were functioning in the opposite directions.

With this method, not only would most of the air particles be pushed aside before he even made contact with them, the energy air particles in his control circulating at the back closer to his skin might even help him gain more momentum! Albeit, that required enough energy in order to have any hope of achieving it. 

‘So, overall, I need to design two water turbines made up of air resistance themselves and start their circulation at the front side of my body.’

Since all the theories and blueprints were at last ready, the first plan of action Virus took was to start going over everything he knew about air particles as he kept pushing them into his energy to try fusing them together!

Subsequently, after a rather long time had passed in his time-freeze perception, he finally succeeded. Now that he had influenced his energy in the aspect he desired, his malleable energy had gained an attribute much like that of the air particles.

Next, without delay, he jumped to the procedure of designing two impeccable water turbines using the air particles themselves. 

Thankfully, already having a complete understanding of exactly what he wanted to achieve, it didn’t take much effort on his part to accomplish his intended goal.

‘Done! Now I have two forms!’ With a tranquil brow free of frown lines, a glowing expression appeared on Virus’ face. ‘Hmm, I think I can also begin the process of creating the third form as well the moment I break through to the eighth level of Liberation.’

Now that he had accomplished his first objective, in the outside world, Virus realized Henna and him were just about to enter the particular gate that would lead to the enemies on the other side.

Not feeling quite secure yet, Virus was resolved to make even further preparations.

Remembering the sword he had obtained a while ago, Virus knew that right now, he had no sword techniques to utilize. True, he had the Twisting Tempest Thrust, but the requirement for using that was to have a longsword as a weapon, not a common sword.

‘Hmm, I can’t make a Peak-Human sword technique since my mind’s busy with decrypting the movement techniques right now, so, that leaves me with the other sword techniques I have available in my database.’ Judging that to be the only alternative at the moment, Virus exhibited the strongest sword attack techniques he had at his disposal.

「Gouge Pounce」:<Class: High-Human>

[Description: I’m simple but deadly! There is only one form in this sword technique which requires six pathways. It concentrates all the energy that gathers as a result of pouncing on the enemy and shoots them all at the enemy in a single gouging attack! Requirements: Sword, Six pathway liberated.]

「Fountain Arrow and Bow Cut」:<Class: High-Human>

[Description: O, my enemies shall see a beautiful fountain as the last scenery of their lives! The first form requires six pathways as it focuses on the quick curving movement of the hand which leaves a beautiful slash, it is called the ‘Fountain Bow Cut’, the second form requires seven liberated pathways as it uses the first curving movement like that a bow in order to release a straight attack that storms to the enemy just like an arrow released from the string which is the first form. The second form is called the ‘Fountain Arrow Cut’! Requirements: Sword, minimum of Six pathway liberated.]

Seeing only two results, Virus knew these two were the strongest sword attacks he had access to and were suitable right now.

‘Hmm, definitely the second one.’ After examining and discerning that the second sword technique could even make use of seven liberated pathways, without further ado, Virus instantly delved into the comprehension and grasping procedure of Fountain Arrow and Bow Cut.

In the real world, the two were already passing through the gate when Virus successfully attained the first form of the Fountain Arrow and Bow Cut. He couldn’t begin training the second form since without liberating seven pathways, that was impossible.

Now, since Virus’ preparations were over, he deactivated the time-freeze perception and restored it to an almost normal state while his unique awareness remained spread all around him.

Simultaneously, passing through the gate, the messed-up scene of a lady stabbed in the back and three enemies apparently waiting for someone displayed themselves.

The instant he arrived, the veiled lady who was unconscious just until now suddenly raised her head with difficulty and stuttered a few incomprehensible words, “V-Vee… be careful… s-she…”

It was unknown since when she had regained her consciousness.

“Damn it, this bitch was awake! She was just pretending!” Ra shouted wrathfully as he kicked her in the stomach harshly.

On the other side, behind Virus, a dark expression covered Henna’s face once more as she darted her second blade right at the back of Virus.

If it was anyone else, not having eyes at the back of their heads, just like the cheeky woman, they would have been stabbed. However, detecting the sneak attack through the lens of his awareness, Virus swiftly noticed that he was about to be backstabbed!

‘Impulse!’

‘Steel of Darkness!’

‘Fountain Bow Cut!’

In the span of a single second, arcs of electricity flickered all over Virus’ physique as it was followed by the appearance of a luxurious-looking sword.

Next, with a curving movement of his hand and body together, Virus’ sword left a mesmerizing sword arc in the air.

Swish!

A head flew off to the air before it fell and rolled on the ground.

Psshhhh!

After the head fell on the ground, at the last moments of her life, terrifyingly, Henna could see her own body still standing while a fountain of blood was spurting from her neck.

‘My… sister…’ That was the last scenery of her life before all traces of life vanished from her open eyes, eyes that had some traces of regret painted in them.
