Chapter 20: Holding back against two Limit!
[A critical hit has been made on the energy shield. Elemental power has been detected in the attack. Raw power is suspected to be over 30 tons. He's at the hypothesized Ultimate Douluo level.]
[Recalculating the required shield durability and energy consumption. At this rate, we will be in the passive state.]
"Is that so? As expected of the strongest soul beast in the world." Elysium laughed and fired a counter shot with his flank cannon.
A barrage of light rained down on Di Tian, but he stood there, blocking it all with his body. He didn't even bother releasing soul power to block this attack.
Elysium retreated and kept his distance from Di Tian.
"Is that all you got? With this kind of power, you dare challenge me and speak so arrogantly." Di Tian raised his arm, which had transformed into a dragon claw. With an angry expression on his face, he was ready to finish it all.
He shot out like an arrow and charged through with full force. An ultimate darkness elemental power enveloped his arm, shattering the annoying energy shield.
Elysium moved his exosuit and blocked the incoming attack with the greatsword of Bahamut in his hand.
Ding! Crack!
It's broken, just one hit. But it made Elysium smile with satisfaction. "Counter, now!"
The flank weapons all over the exosuit fired their own projectiles. They weren't soul power projectiles, but real kinetic ones.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Di Tian!" Xiong Jun shouted angrily and lunged at Elysium in midair, but his body was knocked back by six other bullets fired at him.
It's an armor-penetrating bullet with special properties. Not that big like a cannon in his shoulder that is charging, but this kind of bullet is made from spiritual metal left over from the manufacturing and calibration when he made this exosuit.
Furthermore, there were various explosive inscriptions that would destroy the bullet upon contact. So, it's the highly explosive armor-penetrating bullet he designed, fired by the flank cannon.
Elysium didn't let this opportunity pass and bombarded Di Tian with soul power projectiles. He couldn't use all the armor-penetrating bullets due to his limited supply.
He still had a maniacal smile on his face, but his mind was overloaded, having to organize every detail to ensure the exosuit worked properly. His eyes and mind were fixed on the spot where Di Tian had been thrown, and he continued firing shots there.
"Enough!" Di Tian waved his hand and moved even faster.
In one second, he was in front of Elysium and used his claws to attack him. But the same thing happened again: the energy shield reactivated, protecting Elysium without taking any damage.
Bang!
Di Tian was sent flying again, but this time he was only hit by one shot.
On the shore, Xiong Jun slowly stood up and watched the strange scene as Di Tian was harassed by the relentless fire from the strange boy.
"What the hell is that battle armor? No, more importantly, that attack actually hurt me." Xiong Jun looked at his trembling body and the several bruises on his body. Even though he's not in his soul beast form right now, that kid still managed to injure me.
This is terrible, absolutely terrible.
"Kill him! We must kill him tonight!" Xiong Jun stood up and looked at the Young Lady, who stood there silently, watching Elysium repel Di Tian.
"Young lady, we have to leave now!"
Na'er jolted awake from her reverie. Her eyes trembled as she saw Di Tian, who had several wounds on his body. She looked at Xiong Jun, who was approaching, but immediately stopped and took a step back.
An energy bullet landed exactly one meter in front of her. Na'er fell, her moon-like face now smeared with dirt and dust. But she was unharmed by the attack.
"You, dumb bear. Don't you dare approach her," Elysium warned coldly.
Xiong Jun, furiously called a dumb bear, roared and raged, unleashing the aura of another Ultimate Douluo. But his power and ultimate gold element rivaled Di Tian's.
"Please... stop... Elysium..." Na'er tried to shout haltingly, but Elysium didn't hear her and was busy blocking Di Tian's attacks.
She felt hopeless and confused as to why things had turned out this way.
Why was Elysium doing all this? Why was she fighting so hard and even daring to fight Di Tian and Xiong Jun?
Is it because she wants me to be with my brother?
She wants me to see my happiness with my brother? Why is she fighting so hard for this?
Why? You know I'm a transformed soul beast, but you've always supported me and never said anything so coldly.
You even installed those strange devices in Tang Wulin's house.
"I don't understand, I don't understand..." Na'er lowered her head, feeling dizzy and aching. The Silver Dragon King's true nature was about to awaken, and she had to leave this place immediately.
In the sky, Na'er could see Elysium using a strange machine that had suppressed Di Tian for some time and even injured him. Against two Ultimate Douluo, the pinnacle of cultivation in this world, he remained calm and composed.
None of his attacks were directed at her, only attacking Di Tian or Xiong Jun.
Bang!
"Ugh... damn. I completely miscalculated this." Elysium, wearing a sleek black exosuit, stood over 3 meters tall. He looked back and found Na'er behind him.
Spontaneously, he showed a smile on his face, which was covered in dust and blood from the impact. "Don't worry. I won't let you be separated from Wulin. You are truly a perfect match, and I truly wish you both happiness."
"You shut up!" Di Tian grabbed the shoulders of Elysium's exosuit and threw it away from their young lady.
Na'er was stunned, and the same question repeated itself.
Why?
But this time, her face was rosy and red as a tomato. She lowered her head, playing with her fingers and her silver hair.
The image of Elysium falling from the sky, bloodied and covered in dust, was deeply imprinted in Na'er's mind. She even stood in the same place as her brother and was slightly taller than him.
Amidst the battle, she remembered what Elysium had said in the past.
"Na'er, you like your brother, right?"
"Your eyes." From your eyes, I could see how much you loved Tang Wulin from the moment we met at Red Mountain Academy.
"Besides, from your actions, I can see that you truly love your brother. A kind of love so pure that it's not like an adult's."
"Then, what are you waiting for? Go with him and accompany him. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to express your feelings."
All of this came back to her memory. She still remembered Elysium watching Na'er leave to accompany her brother with a smile on his face. It was a smile that seemed so gentle and happy about it all.
She remembered that Elysium didn't seem to reject her presence and always shared the food he had. He even became very kind to them and gave them various luxury items.
After that day, Elysium rarely came to school and shut himself in his house. He even seemed to avoid her and didn't want to see her.
Unconsciously, Na'er muttered softly, "Does he love me?"
When she said that, her face became even more rosy and shy. Her cheeks were hot, and truly hot. Was she also secretly in love with Elysium?
If Elysium heard about what this little silver lizard said, he would be shocked at how she could reach this conclusion. She completely ignored the first words Elysium had said to her about Na'er being Tang Wulin's object.
Fortunately, Elysium was busy securing his precious research subject and didn't care about anything else.
