Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 480 Lightning Speed

“Aw shit. My hair also grew again. I did boost the teleportation process, so maybe that also boosted my body processes.”

“Niti, can you go and free Rias?” Rudy asked her calmly. “Tell her I have arrived. But keep her at the palace. I will be back in a minute or so.”

“Sure,” Niti nodded.

Niti smiled at Rudy and moved close to him to hug him, but Jane was staring at her, so she left.

Jane was a little suspicious after seeing Rudy and Niti acting so closely. She still had no idea that Rudy had already laid his hands on Niti a long time ago. Only Rias was the one aware of everything.

Rudy wanted to tell Jane, but Rias had different plans, so he didn’t interfere.

“Jane. I am allowing you to take part in this war. But make sure you don’t get hurt, okay?”

Jane kissed Rudy on the lips without saying a word.

“You will make me horny if you kiss me like that, and I won’t be able to focus on the war.”

“I did that so you can return as soon as possible. I don’t want you to waste your time on the people who don’t matter,” Jane responded with another short kiss.

“Is that so…?” Rudy moved his face close to Jane’s ears and whispered, “Then how about I finger you and stop before you orgasm?”

“You wouldn’t do that in front of everyone.”

“Don’t test me, my love.”

Virgil decided to ignore them both and turned to his soldiers, but they had already left according to his order.

‘They realized Rudy is the Lord and couldn’t stand in his presence. I wouldn’t blame them as I don’t want to stay here either… just for a different reason…”

“Ahem!” Virgil cleared his throat to make his presence known and said, “Alucard kingdom is attacking from the north, so I will take care of them. Jane, you to the left side. Our and the armies of other kingdoms of this continent have already begun to retaliate against the war.”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Jane kissed Rudy for the last time and flew away.

Virgil shrugged his hands and said, “I don’t think I need to tell you this, but… be careful.”

“Of course. You too, son.”

Virgil furrowed his brows and said, “Stop calling me that.”

“Technically, I am not wrong, you know? Once Nyxia accepts me, it will turn true.”

“You are free to call me when that happens. Now, I will take my leave. My people need me.”

After saying that, Virgil flew north.

“Hmm~” Rudy glanced at the palace and muttered, “I kind of want to go and meet Rias, but they already breached the border of this kingdom. I should take care of them first.”

Rudy could run, and he could run faster, he flew, and he could fly faster. He had already flown fast enough to match the speed of the light, but he had never flown to match or exceed that speed.

After teleporting his cells at the speed of lightning, Rudy was still nowhere near the actual speed of light.

‘Light and lightning are different. But what is light, though? Lightning can’t travel as fast as light because it would require infinite energy, which I can provide to a certain extent.

What if I turn myself into a fog of cells again, charge each cell with lightning, and then try to travel at the speed of light? Still, I don’t think controlling it would or could be possible unless I learn to handle it properly.

If I remember correctly, Virgil said that this world is ten times bigger than the human world. If someone travels at the speed of light, they would be able to circle around the earth more than seven times in a mere second.

So this world could require a little more than a second to circle this world. Let’s stop this thought. I don’t want to search for logic and science when I am in a fantasy world. I am the Lord, and if I want to fly with the speed of light, then I shall.’

Rudy turned his body into molecules, but instead of spreading them all over, he kept them in a small radius. He formed a cloud of his cell and charged it with lightning. Then he used wind and telekinesis to travel.

To the bystanders, it seemed like a lightning cloud traveling at a fast speed, but it was easy to differentiate from a normal cloud.

Jane had almost reached the battleground, and Virgil was halfway through. Jane got there faster because she used her vampiric ability and turned herself into a fog. Had she done that when she raced with Rudy, she would have won easily, but since it was a race to show that a vampire was faster than a dragon.

Of course, not all the vampires had the ability to turn into the fog, so Jane raced in a vampire form

to prove that even normal vampires were faster than a dragon.

Meanwhile, Rudy was hovering in the air above the vampire army of millions. Male and female, old and young, marching towards the kingdom. Some were on the ground walking while some were riding huge beasts. Some were flying while the rest were flying. However, Rudy was flying the highest.

“Who is that?” one of the kings asked.

“And why is he the only one?”

“Is he maybe someone sent by the vampire monarch?”

“It doesn’t matter. As Luis said, one person can’t fight the entire army, no matter how strong they are. And if Luis is so confident about defeating the strongest vampire of this world– Virgil. Then we can effortlessly defeat the others.”

“Yeah, he is right.”

“So what do we do now? How do we attack him? He is flying so high, and our beast can’t fly that high.”

One of the elder vampire kings stood up on the beast and said, “Well, we can.”

He spread his wings and flew on a level with Rudy.

“Listen, foolish kid, I don’t know who you are, but now you are about to die!” He turned his hand into sharp dagger-like claws and dashed at Rudy.

Rudy, however, stared at him nonchalantly. “You don’t need to know me.”

A large lightning bolt fell on the elder king and fried him alive.

“You are not worthy to stand… or fly on an equal level as me.”
