Chapter 134: Fight with Shadow Lotus
Lukas pointed his hand at Leeroy and activated his Gravity Ability.
In an instant, Leeroy fell to the ground.
The surroundings had three times the gravity now.
Soldiers struggled to stand up and many of them fell flat on the ground.
The Governor descended from the air, and he quickly ran towards Lukas for safety.
Ashen pulled Leeroy into the dark opening with his hands and the dark opening closed.
Lukas deactivated his Gravity ability and the soldiers felt relief when the pull upon them from the ground went away.
They stood up with their arms looking around the surroundings warily for Ashen appearing at any moment.
"Watch out!" Lukas shouted when he saw the slit appear behind Sherry.
Whip.
Rex lashed out his spiky rock whip at Ashen and Leeroy when they appeared out of the dark opening.
However, his spiky rock whip broke when part of it hit the dark glow engulfing Ashen's body.
In the next moment, the puddle of flesh lunged at Rex.
Bam.
Harianto shot out a plasma pulse at the puddle of flesh.
The plasma pulse hit the puddle of flesh, and it splashed into two puddles.
One of the puddles continued its trajectory and headed for Rex, and the other puddle came for Harianto.
Crush.
Rex's right arm was crushed as the puddle of flesh wrapped around it and strangled hard.
It was the same for Harianto.
Crack.
Part of Harianto's armor made up of hard steel and electronics cracked into pieces.
The puddle of flesh wrapped around Harianto's neck.
Two compartments rose from Harianto's shoulder and inside them were two miniature cannons.
The cannons rotated towards Harianto's neck and shot out plasma pulses at the puddle of flesh.
Thud.
The puddle of flesh twitched and released its grip for a moment.
Harianto took the opportunity and used his hands to grab onto the puddle of flesh.
Sizzle.
Flames blew out from Harianto's palm, burning the puddle of flesh.
It caused pain for Leeroy and the puddle of flesh dripped out from Harianto's grip and onto the ground.
Raising his foot, he tried to stomp on the puddle of flesh.
Slither.
The puddle of flesh slithered away and lunged onto Rex's arm, merging back together with the other puddle.
Harianto pointed his palm at Rex's arm.
Flames shot out from his palm at the puddle of flesh.
As the puddle of flesh sizzled, it dripped onto the ground and slithered away.
...
Meanwhile, Ashen swiped his hands at Sherry from behind her.
Sherry had no choice but to relinquish her control over Risa's mind and rolled to the side.
Strands of her hair dissipated as Ashen's hands touched them.
But he had missed, and Sherry was now to his right side.
A brown glow appeared from her forehead and darted at Ashen's head.
Ashen wasn't about to be controlled for the second time.
A slit opened behind him, and he leaped into the dark opening.
Sherry's ability with the brown glow tried to reach into the dark opening but all she got was the void.
The dark opening closed and Ashen was nowhere to be seen again.
Sherry turned her focus onto Leeroy, who wasn't far away.
The brown glow turned and darted towards Leeroy instead.
The puddle of flesh separated itself and the two halves of it lunged at Sherry from her left and right side.
Plop.
The puddles of flesh dropped onto the ground.
Lukas had used his Gravity ability and made the puddle of flesh have three times the gravity.
Now, it had difficulty slithering away.
With flickers of light in his hands, Lukas lunged at the puddle of flesh and unleashed his lightning strikes at it.
The surroundings were brightened in an instant.
But it was too bright, even for his lightning strikes.
Ashen had appeared not too far away, and with his right arm, unleashed the torrent of lightning strikes at Lukas.
He expected Lukas to be pulverized by his torrent of lightning strikes.
But all he saw was Shiba with its huge mouth, swallowing every bit of his lightning strikes.
"What in the world?!" Ashen exclaimed as he gathered all his energy to sustain the lightning strikes.
The torrent of lightning strikes grew thicker and more powerful, lashing out at the surroundings.
It ruptured through the concrete and even the ice wall.
All around, debris, smoke and dust flew in the air.
"Die!" Ashen shouted as he used more of his energy.
But Shiba just took it all in.
Shiba was like a void itself.
Finally, when Ashen didn't have much energy left, he stopped.
Burp.
Shiba gave out a loud burp and it looked at Ashen with its head tilted.
As if it was asking for more.
But Ashen wasn't able to do so anymore.
He had to change the plan.
If they couldn't harvest the First Awakened for the West Battle Administration Area now, they could do so for an Apex demonic beast first.
Lukas was such a menace.
Every time Ashen encountered him again, he had grown stronger and gained new abilities.
Maybe only the Dark Lord would be able to deal with him now.
With this in mind, he glanced over at Leeroy and Risa.
Lukas had unleashed his lightning strikes at Leeroy, causing Leeroy to be hurt.
The puddle of flesh was now charred with a huge smudge of crimson within it.
Flickers of lightning appeared in Lukas's hands again, when he prepared for his next strike.
Ashen leaped away to the side where a dark opening was ready for him.
Shiba opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of lightning strikes at Ashen.
Splatter.
The lightning strikes caught Ashen's legs, ripping out a huge chunk of his flesh.
But it wasn't enough to stop Ashen from disappearing into the dark opening.
A slit appeared in front of Lukas next.
One of Ashen's hands, engulfed in the dark glow came at his neck.
Lukas took a step back and dodged it.
At the same time, the other hand of Ashen picked up the puddle of flesh from the ground.
They disappeared into the dark opening the next moment.
Lukas quickly turned and glanced over at Risa.
The energy field engulfing Risa was now shimmering.
Riley needed one more punch to break through it.
Thud.
His fist with lightning engulfing it landed on the energy field and the energy field dissipated.
Bam!
Risa shot a plasma pulse at Riley.
