Chapter 1105: Levium (22)
<Finally!>
Erik clung to a piece of debris orbiting Uncle Benjamin. The man kept that and many other things, including human bodies, close to him so that he could use them to attack.
What he needed human bodies for was unknown-maybe to look more scary. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The makeshift shield rotated at dizzying speeds around the man, a whirlwind of concrete, metal, brick, and disgusting things.
The rotating shield was a masterful defensive strategy on Levium’s part.
The thing was very effective for several reasons. First, it was unpredictable and always moving.
This made it hard for attackers to hit Uncle Benjamin directly. Any attacks would likely be blocked or broken by the spinning debris.
Second, the fast rotation created a blurry effect. This made it hard to see where Uncle Benjamin was, so enemies couldn’t aim at him.
The shield’s mix of concrete, metal, bricks, and who knew what else could also absorb various attacks, and as the shield spun, any weak spots were quickly covered, leaving enemies with almost no opportunity to strike.
Uncle Benjamin’s defense seemed nearly impenetrable. In theory, at least. However, even the strongest shields could be shattered with a powerful enough attack.
Erik’s compound eyes took in the swirling mass, searching for a weakness in the defense.
<I think I only have one viable route here.>
And that was the route of destruction.
Erik didn’t have many chances. If he sneaked his way to him before he surrounded himself with the debris, maybe he could have backstabbed him or something like that. Since Levium made that impossible, he either drew him out of the shield or destroyed it.
Erik focused, channeling massive amounts of mana through his Frostwind Fire Tempest brain crystal power’s neural links. The surrounding air began to shimmer and chill as he summoned a colossal mass of wind-powered ice.
Erik didn’t know if this would be enough to destroy Levium’s defenses, but he had to test the shield somehow.
With a surge of power, Erik conjured a gigantic iceberg, its crystalline surface glittering in the light. Harnessing the wind from his Frostwind Fire Tempest power, he propelled the massive ice formation towards Uncle Benjamin at breakneck speed.
The colossal iceberg hurtled towards Uncle Benjamin’s rotating debris shield, colliding with a thunderous crash. The impact was world-ending.
At first, a huge shockwave scattered the above clouds. Then, as the ice met the whirling barrier, a grinding sound filled the battlefield.
The debris shield, spinning at incredible speeds, shredded the massive ice formation. Chunks of ice of different sizes splintered off, raining down towards the ground below.
Snowflakes drifted down, blanketing the battlefield in a surreal winter landscape-an eerie sight in the heart of July.
The temperature plummeted, the air becoming crisp and frigid. Steam rose from the warm ground as it met the suddenly chilled air, and the vapor filled the battleground.
Uncle Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock. There was one thing he had been certain about Erik: despite having multiple brain crystal powers, only his body’s strength was enhanced, not the powers themselves.
It meant that, like everybody else, his destructive power in a battle of powers depended on his mana.
Levium was uncertain about Erik’s mana reserves. Logic dictated they should be minimal, yet the biological supercomputer was a wildcard.
While its full capabilities remained a mystery, Levium reasoned that if it could give brain crystal powers, it might also boost mana levels. But how much did Erik get?
The man who had seemed so composed and in control just moments ago now was taken aback.
His mouth hung slightly open, his brow furrowed in disbelief, because Erik just showed to have a similar amount of mana to him.
Uncle Benjamin wasn’t weak. He had been blessed by having a very powerful brain crystal, which made his power even more destructive.
Among the blackguards, it was hard to find someone with his same amount of mana, and yet the kid that had almost none three years ago now matched his blessed body.
“Impossible,” he said. The biological supercomputer became suddenly much more valuable than it already was.
With a thunderous crash, the shield collapsed. Chunks of concrete and twisted metal rained down on the battlefield below, mingling with the snowflakes created by the shredding of the huge iceberg Erik created.
The citizens of Sleb Harbor watched in awe and terror. Erik’s creation was so immense that it was visible from every corner of the city. The sheer scale of his power left onlookers stunned, struggling to comprehend how any single person could wield such might.
The iceberg’s sheer size was awe-inspiring, yet Levium’s shield shattering it into countless fragments was even more remarkable. The soldiers under his command knew better than anyone else how strong that thing could get. Yet Erik destroyed it.
Uncle Benjamin, exposed, tried to reassemble his defense, but Erik seized the moment.
He shed his insect form, transforming back into his human shape in mid-air but keeping multiple pairs of insect wings on his back.
They were better than birds wings since they allowed him to hover instead of just flying and gave him greater control.
Uncle Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock behind his mask as Erik materialized before him, his fist already in motion.
The punch connected with a sickening crunch, but the only thing that it got was an enormous piece of metal that got shattered. One of the debris hit the older man in the face.
Uncle Benjamin reeled backward, blood spraying from his nose. But he recovered quickly and sent a massive amount of metal shards flying at top speed towards his best friend’s son.
Erik barely dodged. It was true, his body’s strength made him more powerful than anyone else, but that was exactly why he feared pure brain crystal powers battles, because he lost that advantage in such cases.
His wings beat, and he unleashed a bolt of lightning from his fingertips. But Uncle Benjamin
was not stupid.
Not only did he see that coming, Parallel will give him an edge, but he also countered that by making many blocks of metal hover in front of him and in his immediate surroundings.
He basically used Erik’s same strategy, but using metal instead of ice.
“Fuck…”
Then the young man launched a massive fireball at the man, who flew away from it.
The ball of fire ended up hitting the ground, and everything that could go on fire did,
including people.
