Chapter 273: Starmap Made of Lightning!

Miles started to walk back while holding his hand in the air. I have nothing to do with this.

You are unlucky to be friends with the boss's target! The man said and swung his sword.

Miles backed away and a spear appeared in his hand. The spear was black, and darkness was swimming on its body. It was the spear gifted by Malcolm when they were hunting the awakened dead, and it was the same spear he placed on the top of the branch when the wolf first appeared.

Miles and Alex already knew there were people watching them while they were fighting with the wolf. Although both looked relaxed, they had their guards up. When Miles was on top of the branch, he forwent this spear in feign of its element being disadvantaged towards the wolf, but Miles in actual fact hid it for that situation. He foresaw this scene and prepared for it.

The man who was chasing Miles quivered in shock and wanted to jump back, but it was too late. Although he was a tier higher than Miles, when it came to speed, no student in the academy could be compared to him. The abilities of the wind element increased the persons speed, but the man fighting against Miles had rare fiery wind, not a speed enchanting one.

The spear in Miles's hand grew bigger in mans eyes. When it was in front of his throat, he managed to scream, but it was short-lived. The blood gushed out from the man's mouth and clogged his throat. His eyes were looking at Miles with shock and regret, but Miles was still even-keeled.

Miles pulled back the spear and the man fell to the ground. Miles ignored the dead man for the time being and approached Alex, who was fighting with David and the other man, albeit barely. David was flying with a piece of rock made of earth and smaller pieces orbiting around him. Rocks as big as himself were circulating around his body like moons on a planet.

The other man had the metal elemental ability. He was forming metal rods to attract the lightning attacks Alex was creating. Acting as a conductor was giving Alex a lot of a hard time. But Alex wasnt weak either. He had vast fighting experience, so after a couple of failed attacks, he stopped sending attacks from distance, instead of covering his body with lightning and forcing his opponents to fight in melee.

The metal guy placed lightning rods on the ground in case Alex created more lightning attacks and approached Alex too. David already had Earth Armor on his body and a shield made of dark-colored brown.

At this time, Miles jumped behind the duo to make a surprise attack, but the dagger in his hand surprisingly traveled to the shield in Davids hand as if attracted to it.

Gravity? Miles looked at the shield with surprise, and couldnt help but praise this tactic. It wasnt for nothing that Milosh thought he was disadvantaged against others. With the abilities of elements, superpower users could form different types of items, while all of his creations were attributeless.

The shield was a construction made of energy through the Heart Branch. Because of the Gravity attribute, it had pulling force.

I can hold him off for a while. Can you finish that guy quickly? Miles asked as he and David stared at each other.

Shouldnt take long. Alex nodded and started to attack the other man, who had withdrawn to his safe place among lightning rods stuck into the ground.

You are dreaming if you think those rods will save you! Alex grinned and shouted. Nordic Punishment!

With it, a circular star map made of lightning formed in the sky. It was covering tens of meters in radius. There were 21 stars shining in different spots on the star map. The lightning was traveling from star to star and was accelerating as it did.

Wherever the lightning passed, it was leaving a current. In no time at all, the speed of the lightning reached a level that couldn't be tracked by eyes. If at the beginning the speed of a full round was a second, now it was a hundredth of a second. While lightning was circulating in the air, the man was trying to stop Alex.

Lightning was cracking in the air, and with every move of the star map, more lightning in the air was condensing at the star map. Its intensity was increasing visibly.

The man created metal javelins and threw them with his bodily strength. Luckily Alex wasnt a regular person either and had already used three serums. The man was a year older than him and was already in the mid-tier of Form-Rank, but even he hasn't used the fourth serum yet. After all, the fourth serum was another chasm, and couldnt be used lightly.

Alex looked at the circle in the air after ten minutes and grinned. It is ready.

The star map in the air shone like a second sun. The purple currents were swimming madly around the circle and were rotating between the star map. Alex lifted his right hand and dropped it down towards the man. The Starmap Circle in the air also started to descend towards the man.

Let me see if it can resist the attraction! The man shouted and created giant sharp pillars of metal.

The currents coming out of the Starmap were flowing towards the lightning rods, but the Starmap itself was still descending. The man looked at the lightning attack approaching in fear but had nowhere to run.

Damn you! The man shouted as a large amount of metal left his hands. When it was out of his body, he created a shelter with four walls and a roof. The four walls were stuck to the ground, and he was in the middle of it, sheltered from the descending lightning.

Eh? If you think you can save yourself that easily, you are mistaken. Alex had a smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp. When Star map contacted the roof of the metal structure, it passed through it without any change. Metal is attractive, and can pull the lightning but it is also conductive!

Screams were heard from the shelter the man created. The attack Alex controlled passed through the metal and attacked the man inside his safe haven. He trapped himself there, so he had no way out and couldnt avoid it anymore. If he hadnt created the metal shelter, maybe he could avoid being cooked alive, alas it was too late now.

Screams ceased, and Alex swept the sweats formed on his forehead. The attack put a tool on him. He turned to look at Miles and David. David had an ugly expression, but he was locked by Miles, so he couldnt escape.
