Chapter 386 Thousands Of After-images!

Chapter 386 Thousands Of After-images!

Sensing the five rapidly incoming electricity, Damien frowned and stepped back quickly. The power hidden within those bolts gave a brooding feeling. So, he withdrew from further taking a frontal offense. And it was an excellent reaction on his part as those incoming purple lightning bolts misfired on the ground.

Kacha! With a screeching sound, five long black scorched marks were left over the ground. The strange thing was that the explosive lightning energy went deeper inside the earth, over a mile deep. Damien frowned even more.

"Be careful milord! This guy is someone who was above energy level 500." Cynthia reminded him telepathically in his head. "I think you better fight seriously from here on."

"You mean the dividing line of 499 and 500 Energy level is a tremendous gap?" asked Damien telepathically in his head.

"Yep! That's what I'm telling you to go all out if you want to beat him," responded Cynthia. n.)0VeLbIn

"Sure!" Then, putting his katana away, Damien raised his hand, chanting a particular mantra along with a certain set of hand seals, and whispered at the end of the ceremony, "Lightning Vajra Skill, activate!"

Ashbee stood calmly, with no intention of attacking once again, as he observed Damien nonchalantly. It was as if he was more interested in what the giant was concocting instead of defeating him straightaway.

Meanwhile, just as Damien ended his spell, the invisible Dam in his Dantian disappeared, crumbling spontaneously, and hence, a thick amount of Lightning-based Chi overflowed in his body in all directions. The amount of Chi was so overwhelming that even three bolts of lightning sipped out of his skin and manifested outside. The sizzling sound of those three colors of lightning–black, white, and green rushed toward his palm, which was pointing in the air. At first, they concentrated, forming a large, tricolor diamond core in his hand, which extended as more lightning-based chi sipped out of his body and infused into it. And within a second, it formed into a long katana with three colors. From time to time, electric bolts of white, black, and green ejected from its tip as if like a vivid temporary whip.

Seeing that, Ashbee grinned coldly, and as he extended his hand, a thick purple lightning bolt infused out of his palm into the air. Under his control, they concentrated and turned solid, forming a long, five-foot staff with five silver bangles attached at its tip. "Oh, Great Giant, your way of utilizing your lightning-based energy really baffled me. No doubt. But see. This is my Heaven Shaking Staff, a manifestation of my lightning energy. Can I get a name about yours?" He asked in a friendly tone.

Damien didn't have any intention of responding. Instead, he turned the tip of his newly manifested Katana toward Ashbee. Then, under his control, he infused a tremendous amount of purified lightning-based chi into the katana and it shot out a thick beam of lightning toward Ashbee. The thick lightning beam was more like a long snake, slithering at lightning speed.

Acknowledging the terrifying power within the incoming power, Ashbee clutched the staff tightly and thudded its butt on the ground. Thud! Instantaneously, a bangle shook, and a purple dome appeared around him as it chimed in a melodic voice.

The next instant, the incoming lightning beam in the shape of a snake struck the purple dome and countered, as it also broke the purple dome into multiple shards, just like a brittle mirror. Bang! After that, Ashbee smiled at Damien as if indicating his efforts were worthless. But to his surprise, a flash of lightning struck down from the sky and fried him, his long hair spiked upward as the lightning shocked him.

"Argh!" Ashbee screamed as he spat a mouthful of red merlot, staining the scorched black ground. After the electric shock, his hair became all disheveled. However, he was still maintaining his calm. "And you've got the power to manipulate the lightning in the sky." Saying that, he tapped his magical staff on the ground, again. And just like before another bangle from among the seven, jingled and a plum of green mist appeared in the air as the soft chiming sound rang. The green mist landed on his head and his body started shining and the next instant, he started healing at an incredulous pace.

Observing the strangeness of his skill, Damien pondered, 'That Magical Staff in his hand is the real deal. At first, one bangle rang and produced a defensive dome. Now, another bangle rang and supposedly had a healing ability. I only hope to know the magical nature of the remaining five bangles.'

"Yep, more like elemental nature. His defensive dome had the inner fabrics of metal elemental and the healing power used a purified form of wood elemental nature." Cynthia agreed. She was also curious about the magical staff.

"But, what's even more baffling is the staff which uses Lightning-based chi as a fuel to ring those bangles," added Damien. "Anyway, his way of fighting me seems like trying to gauge my level. Plus, he seems to stall my time, as if waiting for someone to join in this fray/."

'Aww, whatever? Today let me just fight to my heart's content.' Next with a thought, he operated his next skill as he whispered, "Ninja-Lightning Fusion Movement Technique!"

Within an infinitesimal fraction of a second, all the purified lightning energy which was overflowing every nook and cranny part of his body, divided into two halves and traveled each toward Damien's legs. Suddenly, his body disappeared like a puff of smoke, and the next thing, a major brawl broke out.

Ashbee frowned and swung his staff horizontally behind him with his strongest raw strength. Pop! A lightning bolt erupted, turning out it was just a lightning after-image left by Damien's movement technique. He continued swinging front, back, left, and right. The continuous popping sound of lightning bolts echoed, meaning Damien's speed was treading too fast that even with his strong perception, his body failed him to land a single strike over his opponent. Suddenly, he looked around and spat a curse, "What the fuck?!", as he witnessed thousands of the Giant's afterimages dashed toward him from all directions. (please, stay tuned!)
