Chapter 435 Lightning, Spear, Bomb, and Tower
"Blue Alex, continue scouring the area. If you find any abnormalities, head to that place immediately." Alex said after he kept silent for a few seconds. He then focused his attention back on Blue Alex"s senses, as he knew that meeting Delia is an important thing to do right now.
"Roger." Blue Alex replied mentally as he continued what he was doing.
Rich pulses of electromagnetic and gravitational power came out of Blue Alex"s head, covering the whole cratered area in just a span of a second. Everything that are within this area has been easily scanned by Blue Alex, which allowed him to detect anything unusual.
Because Alex was also connected to Blue Alex, he was able to observe what Blue Alex scanned toos.
"Hm?" After Blue Alex did two more scans with his power, Alex stood up from his place as he narrowed his eyes.
"Blue Alex. There"s a high concentration of unstable molecules at the left side of this area." Alex slowly said in a meaningful tone. "This instability might be the result of the explosions, but it could also mean something else…"
"Query: Are you asking me to go that zone?" Blue Alex asked as his head swiveled to the place that Alex was talking about. There was only a blank expression on his eyes as he stared at the left side of the area, which was still teeming with smoke and flames at this point.
The incoming police and military appeared to be unable to approach that area, which just makes it look more unusual.
"Yes. Just go."
"Roger that." Blue Alex then literally disappeared from the spot as his body transformed into lightning. This lightning bolt streaked across the area like an uncatchable snake, leaving the people around him in a state of surprise.
Blue Alex ignored these people around him as he kept his lightning form. He only went back to his original form when he arrived at his destination.
"Destination reached. What"s your next command, master?" Blue Alex queried as he stopped moving. Now that he already did what Alex asked him to do, Blue Alex went back to his waiting mode.
"…Let"s watch the situation here first. Do not do anything unless I ask you to." Alex replied as he did not comment about Blue Alex"s mannerisms. If it were before, he would surely comment about Blue Alex"s lack of initiative to make a move.
But right now, Alex had no time to do this as his attention was now focused on a different thing.
"So they are here…" Alex muttered to himself as he observed the place where Blue Alex was looking at right now. "Good thing they are still alive…"
Right in front of Blue Alex, 8 figures could be seen standing on the cratered ground.
Each one of these figures were emanating powerful auras from their bodies, showcasing that they were not just n.o.bodies that appeared in this place.
Alex could only nod his head as he saw the appearances of these figures, as he realized that these were the ones that he was looking for all this time.
Standing at the far left end of the cratered field were General Glaivewood and Sir Xote. Both of them were heavily injured at this point, with General Glaivewood"s body riddled with holes and gashes. Most of these holes were in a rough circular shape, which meant that a lot of force was use to fill him with these holes.
As for Sir Xote, he appeared to be closer to the brink of death, as most of his shadowy had already disappeared. Smoke and filth could be seen leaking out of Sir Xote"s wounds, making it apparent that he must have gone through a lot just to become like this.
These two generals were currently huddling close to each other at this point, as their injuries appeared to have forced them to band tightly together.
Some people can also be seen at the far right side of the area, which was the opposite of the generals" position.
Delia, the spearwoman who Alex had been looking for, was occupying this portion with her allies.
Just like General Glaivewood, Delia also sported the same circular holes and gashes, although the ones that she had was way worse compared to him.
Most of the holes in her body were concentrated on her torso and neck, making her look like a human swiss cheese. Blood and flesh were constantly falling out of these holes, which made Delia appear like an eternally tortured being.
It was fortunate that none of these holes were in her head, as the damage that can be seen from these holes was just too much.
Tong"er and Milo on the other hand were not injured at all, as their bodies were hidden right behind Delia. They only looked shaken from what happened earlier, although their eyes showed that they are still calm.
From the looks of it, Delia must have used her body to s.h.i.+eld Tong"er and Milo from the damage that should have been experienced by them. This resulted on Delia acc.u.mulating more injuries, which led to her current unnerving appearance.
"…"
Even though Delia had an expression of pain from all of her wounds, there was still a c.o.c.ky smile on her face as if she was not unhappy at all.
Blood gurgled from her mouth as her smile widened, which made her skin go paler. At this point, Delia appeared like she was extremely close to death. But even with this, Delia still stood straight at her place, with her eyes only looking straight ahead.
"???" Alex was naturally rendered curious by this reaction from Delia, so he quickly commanded Blue Alex to observe the area where Delia was looking at.
Fortunately for Alex, this area was actually the center of the cratered field, which was the place that Alex had not yet observed.
At the moment that he and Blue Alex placed their attention on this area, Alex quickly let out a deep breath as a sinister light flashed across his eyes.
"So that"s where you are, you lttle f**ker." Alex muttered to himself inwardly as he tried to stop himself from smiling. This endeavor of his failed, as it was too hard to not smile from what he had just seen.
How could not Alex feel happy?
He just saw Ray, one of the vilest person that Alex had ever met, nailed on the ground with a spear sticking out of his stomach!
This spear, which was held by Delia earlier, had punctured its way cleanly through Ray"s stomach. There appeared to be no resistance from Ray when this spear hit him earlier, as he was easily pinned by the spear right into the ground.
Ray seemed to have no way to move from his current position, as the way that the spear nailed him on the ground made it obvious that he will have to go through great pains just to remove it.
Copious amounts of blood were seeping out from the wound created by Delia"s spear, which dyed the ground under Ray red. Low, grunting noises can be heard from Ray as his blood continued to spread, with his hatred-filled eyes staring directly at Delia.
Ray"s companions, who Alex had already been acquainted before, where nowhere to be found in this area. It was as if Ray was the only one who came into this place, and this just made Alex shake his head.
"You… you b***h! This s**t hurts!" Even when his body had been run through by a spear, Ray still had the power and the audacity to curse his opponent. It was as if he did not care of the situation that he was in, with his attention only focused on Delia alone. "I swear… once I get out of this place, you will be the one that I will kill first! F**k!"
"Hehehe… You did not expect my attack to land before you activated your explosions, right?" Delia haltingly said as more blood came out of her mouth. Her body started wobbling at this point, and if it were not for the sudden support from her allies, Delia could have fallen to the ground already. "That"s… what you get from being c.o.c.ky!"
"F**k you! So what if you got me? You"re close to dying already! I just have to wait until you die, and this s**ty wound that I got will be worth it!" Ray replied smugly as his body wiggled. He then let out a roar of pain as the spear began to twist itself.
There was n.o.body that was holding the spear, but the spear continued on twisting, which elicited more and more pained roars from Ray.
"You think I am dying? You must be kidding. You just sneaked attack us, you little s**t!" Delia growled as her eyes began to glow blue. "Sure, the firepower of your explosion are enough to kill Sixth Stage Beings. But your body is not that impressive. As long as I land a well-timed attack on you, you will also be at the brink of death. Just look at yourself right now. Even if my power was already weakened by your explosions, it is still enough to end you…. Now just stay still there and let me kill you already."
"Ahhh! F**k f**k f**k f**k! I will really kill you! Just you wait!" Ray ignored everything that Delia had said to him as he continued to roar and curse with his loudmouth. He then started tras.h.i.+ng on his spot, which created more and more wound on his body.
This just served to make Ray"s situation worse, as his organs are now caught by the twisting spear.
"Ahhh!!!!"
"d.a.m.n…. Delia sure is cruel." This was all that Alex could say as he observed the "torture" that Ray was going through. Even when Alex was partially okay with what he was seeing, he still could not help but feel a chill from this.
"Ahhh!! F**k you Delia!!! I swear, I swear, you will be inside my bombs once I get out of here! I swear I will make you feel pain that will make you wish that you were dead!"
"…."
After a few more seconds of observing the situation, Alex began to frown as he noticed something from Delia"s actions.
"Oi, when will you stop doing that? Just end him already!" Alex muttered as he began shaking his head. "Do you really want to make Ray suffer more? F**k that. Just kill him already!"
From the looks of it, Delia was refraining herself from killing Ray. This of course made Alex feel irritated, as Delia was now wasting a chance to end an enemy.
"Ugh, Blue Alex, I think you should swoop in now. Kill Ray already." Alex immediately said after he realized Delia"s intentions. "Don"t let that woman waste more of our time here."
"Roger that." Blue Alex said as he raised his hand.
His stance made it obvious that he was about to attack, but before he can even start this process, a ma.s.sive object interrupted him.
A ma.s.sive red tower suddenly came swooping in out of nowhere, with its base rus.h.i.+ng straight towards Delia.
The size and the power emanating from this tower made it apparent that it was not a normal tower.
"Blue Alex! Change of plans! Go and save Delia from that tower! She must not die!" At the moment that he saw this tower, Alex immediately forgot his plans on killing Ray. This red tower was something that he was familiar with, so he knew just how dangerous it is.
"Roger!"
"Bzzt!" In order to maximize his movement speed, Blue Alex quickly transformed himself into a lightning bolt once more. He then moved away from his spot, moving towards his new target.
His target at this point was Delia, who was standing stock-still in face of the coming tower. She seemed to have noticed the arrival of the red tower, although her severe injuries have stopped her from even trying to dodge.
She can only wait for the tower to hit her body, with Blue Alex still rus.h.i.+ng in to save her.
"Malthus… so you have revealed yourself. That makes all of us Travelers present here." Alex thought to himself as he urged Blue Alex to move faster. "Now that we are all here, let"s continue the fight that we had before. I can"t just be satisfied dodging your tower…"
