Chapter 124: Rain of Lightning
Chapter 124: Rain of Lightning
Ray wheezed rapidly in the air, flying as high as he could without any restraint.
"I wonder if I can reach outer space," his mind flashed with this thought, but he quickly restrained himself because he still needed to conduct business here rather than going to outer space.
But while he was thinking, he faced an important conundrum!
"Where are they?"
A bitter smile crept up Ray's face. He was so excited to take revenge that he didn't even know where this so-called organisation was built.
"Hmm, should I return back and ask Natalia and Violet about it?" Ray thought, feeling the power within him.
He was one hundred percent confident that even if those S-class Awakeners in the number of hundreds stood in his way, he could casually punch to destroy them all.
If Ray fought King now, according to the previous battle, all it would take was a simple punch and he would be able to absolutely annihilate the poor guy into oblivion. This was the confidence of absolute strength.
No matter how many methods you have against absolute strength, all things get crushed.
We can take the context of the real world: if a 60 kg person fights a tall 100 kg person with enough fitness, whether the person uses martial arts or muay thai or whatever the technique there is, the person would still get absolutely crushed by the tall person.
This was a difference in strength that couldn't be overcome, and compared to the previous King he had fought, the difference was even greater.
As Ray flew in the air contemplating, suddenly his nose twitched and he heard numerous buzzes.
"Hmm, it tastes sweet," Ray smelled again and increased his senses. "It's honey?"
His eyes flashed with a strange light, and with curious eyes, he quickly flew towards the smell. Before, he wouldn't have had a single bit of confidence if he dared to face whatever it was and would have escaped at the moment's notice to care for his life. This was the Apocalypse; everything was a red card.
But now everything was built upon his self-power, and Ray could at least be confident that he could walk out even if he fell into any danger.
As he followed the smell, Ray slowly descended to the ground and entered a wasteland which once had trees and plants with a river that stretched the whole country.
"The Apocalypse has done such a thing to the world," Ray muttered with a bitter heart.
As previously stated, almost all the plants and trees have disappeared after the Apocalypse, and the animals either died or became undead.
In the waste that Ray had walked into, strange buzzing noises constantly resounded throughout the place as honey bees, the average size of a man, were swirling around a huge hive the size of a four-story-tall building.
The bees' skin was entirely red with numerous unknown imprints on their bodies.
There were even bigger bees the size of small trucks with even more densely packed imprints and "2" written on their heads. These huge dump trucks were instructing and governing the smaller undead bees to dig out minerals from the ground.
Slightly smaller than the level two bees, the level one bees were constantly building the hive using the minerals provided. They also had densely packed unknown patterns swirling around their redskins and "1" written on top of their heads.
Inside the hive were even more giant bees who seemed to be slumbering deeply, and small male bees were constantly poking the giant bee with something of a liquid entering her.
The giant bee slowly opened her eyes to look at the giant egg that was located right at the heart, muttering in a human tone.
"The humans have taken everything from us."
"My child, when the supreme knight bee is born, that will be the day we will take over this land."
The voice sounded like the podcast of an old radio but was filled with wisdom and intelligence.
At this time, a slight crack appeared in the green egg.
"It will be time!"
Ray was unknown to this as he slowly walked inside the jungle while casually dragging an undead bee with him.
"Undead bees, huh…" he muttered while looking at the bee he was dragging.
The ground around here was already a wasteland, and with his vision, he could naturally see the hive that was far away in the distance at the heart of the wasteland.
The bee wanted to resist Ray, but he casually held it with the sting with a nonchalant expression.
"They are definitely stronger than any normal undead dogs, humans, or even cats, but the most astonishing thing is that all these bees didn't die; instead, they became undead. Hmm…" Ray was naturally curious as the buzz of the undead bee became even more violent in his hand.
"Shut up."
He casually punched and instantly destroyed the undead bee. Now, with silence in the environment, Ray could finally start his inner monologue again while curiously looking at the tall hive.
At this time, in his gaze, some bees flew directly towards his direction.
They were initially in small numbers, only numbering around eight, but then hundreds of bees followed suit, including the Level Two undead bees, except for the Level One bees who were still building the hive laboriously.
"I guess that bee really sent a signal to its friends, huh," Ray thought as he shot forward with excitement in his heart. He wanted to test his strength, and he would gladly do it if these undead bees came to him for free.
He didn't immediately punch; instead, he pointed at the sky. The black cloud instantly gathered, and the booming sound constantly rang in the surround, making one feel a heart attack just from the sudden frightening sound.
Ray pointed towards the bees and said in a condescending tone.
"Lightning art: Lightning Spear!"
"Lightning art: Lightning Field!"
"Lightning art: Plasma ball!"
Boom!
The whole world seemed to flash with terrifying lightning, as all things in the world seemed to be filled with bright light, and the very void trembled.
