UNLIMITED SPEED

Chapter 17 17. ADVANCING



“Finally,” Noah muttered with a sigh of relief. However, he remained uncertain of his next action; whether to accept it now, or not.

“I don’t want to be caught off guard, it might give me the challenge to overcome or something like that”, Noah said in his mind.

With that, he retracted his aura and climbed a tree. He wasn’t tired physically, but mentally. The encounter with the lizard was still fresh in his mind after all it was only 2 hours ago.

Honestly, he wasn’t sure why he had not broken down into a mental mess. Maybe it was because the speed force also helped his mental faculties.

After about half an hour, he wasn’t sure how to calculate the time since he didn’t have a clock.

Noah jumped down the tree, he was very excited, “I am about to advance into tier 2 just after a week of getting here”, he said to himself

He brought up the message that was still shining with blue radiance. .

[You have reached the maximum level

of your current Tier. Would you like

to commence Advancement now]

[ Yes/No ]

Choosing Yes with his mind, Noah’s heart began to race even though it had always been, when another blue message popped up

[To advance user has to overcome advancement conditions]

[Analyzing Advancement condition…..]

Noah was right, he Indeed had to overcome something like a challenge, waiting for the analysis to be complete, Noah asked the gods to give him an easy challenge. Then his answer came quick.

[Analyzing complete]

[Challenge: To advance user has to be struck by lightning 10 times]

“Sorry, what?!”

Alarms rang in Noah’s head, how could he endure lightning bolts,

Without giving him time, the sky above him started to darken, he looked up to see dark clouds forming, he could already hear rumblings.

His body began to emit red sparks, he wanted to run, but he wasn’t sure if he could retake the test or something.

His entire body was screaming to dodge any Lightning bolt, Then it dawned on him, “Can I even dodge,” He wondered.

He was fast, yes, as fast as the speed of sound which was 343m/s, But a lightning bolt was way faster, at a massive 124,852m/s which was equivalent to Mach 364.

Which meant that a lightning bolt was 364 times faster than his current speed!.

As though answering his question, a lightning bolt struck him before he could even blink.

<strong>BOOOOOOM!</strong>

The impact with his already energy-filled body caused an explosion, flinging Noah away.

Noah screamed from pain, or so he thought, ‘What the heck’, Noah shouted inwardly while glancing at his body, ‘I can’t feel any pain. Heck, this feels energizing’, Noah exclaimed in surprise.

The bolt of lightning didn’t cause any pain, it nourished his body. Noah felt euphoric.

Then another bolt struck him.

<strong>BOOM!</strong>

“Ahhhhhhh”, Noah screamed from the energy passing through his body, he didn’t feel pain, no he felt full.

Then the third bolt struck him

<strong>BOOOOOOM!</strong>

“Ahhhhhhh”, Noah screamed again he felt like he was going on overload.

Then the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth bolt struck him at the same time.

<strong>BOOOOOOOOOM!</strong>

At this point, Noah’s scream couldn’t be heard. The energy coursing through his body did not allow him to make any sound.

Tendrils of dense electrical energy shot out of his body.

Anyone witnessing this scene would see a person glowing brightly with red radiance, while electricity ravaged his surroundings. Noah looked like a doctor octopus, only that the robotic arms were replaced with the dense tense of lightning bolts, that shifted position constantly.

Noah opened his eyes, which were glowing so brightly that a person couldn’t see his eyeball. “Am I going to die?” Noah asked himself?

Then the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth bolt struck. But rather than striking him directly, they converged in the air forming a thick lightning bolt, before striking him.

Noah’s body went limp his body going into overload, There was no explosion but he could feel it, he felt like he was going to explode.

<strong>BOOOOOOOOM!</strong>

Everything went dark.

Gasping for air Noah woke up. “I’m alive,” Noah exclaimed sitting up while frantically touching his body. He felt like he had been reborn.

He had never felt so strong in his entire life.

Looking around he found that, he was currently sitting in a small crater. Everything around was completely burnt and charred.

He wasn’t certain how long he had slept, but he somehow knew it was more than a day.

Noticing a panel that had popped up Noah checked it.

[Rank of class ???]

[You have unlocked new stats]

Noah felt his head spin at that sight. The new skills were all great, he loved all of them but the one that was broken was his “speed clones”, he could summon one at a time but could continue as long as he had enough Mana. He would not have to endanger his life all the time. The only downside was the cost, it took a massive 50 percent of his full Mana.

He did not understand the class thing, but he liked the boosts it gave him, and at least now he knew he was the heir of the god of speed.

He wanted to check the new stats that were unlocked, so he opened his status.

Noah felt dumbfounded, all his stats had shot through the roof, Tier 2’s were really on a different level, and so was he. His speed was now Mach 10, which was ten times faster, than when he was tier 1

Noah noticed the new stats ‘ defense, Dexterity’ and vitality’. He also liked the new layout of the system, it made it easy to read. It was probably an upgrade.

The new classes were probably the things that the man had said he would get, though he wondered when he would get an amour since his jacket was badly burnt.

With all that done Noah stood up, dusted his clothes, then willed his consciousness to expand.

And to his surprise, he could see everything clearly within a 10 meters radius around him. His new Ability mental waves are being used.
