Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 37: Against The Wind



Chapter 37: Against The Wind

'Insult! An insult!'

Eran roared as these words stormed in his mind. He was completely engulfed by anger. He can clearly see Lee mocking him.

The instant, Eran exploded with power. His sword began to vibrate as a faint glow came from it. Wind blew with ferocity.

"Stone-cutting wind blades!"

He shouted as his sword cutted the air through various angles. Lee saw wind blades coming at him and evaded them all. Seeing that his wind blades cannot touch him, Eran dashed at lee.

*clang*

Lee raised his blade and defended Eran. Eran was more pissed off as he saw a greenhorn blocking his sword.

"DIE BASTARD!!!!"

Eran's left hand bought a small dagger at Lee's neck. Lee saw the dagger coming from his 'supposedly' blindzone and retreated suddenly. But, Eran was not someone to give his opponent a break to breath.

*clang clang clang*

Lee's blade and Eran's sword danced in the air. Eran will strike and Lee will block. This became a thing for about 5 minutes. The Hidwig household can see Eran slightly panting, but his opponent was sturdy as steel.

=====

10 A.M.

450 Essence harvested.

=====

The amused expression disappeared as the notification lit up.

'It time to wind up'

Lee decided to end this shit. It's no fun to play cat and mouse with an old man.

"One strike! Let's finish this in one strike!"

Seriousness resonated in Lee's words as he stared at the old man. The old man smirked and stood straight with his sword held vertically in front of him.

"Destroys with silence,

Dances with elegance,

Dominates with persistence,

IMPERIAL WIND STRIKE!!!!"

Eran shouted with all his might and a sword materialised in front of him. It was huge and translucent, which was obviously due to being formed from wind. Eran raised his sword and the huge sword also was raised. D confirmed that this old man's going all out.

Lee was initially going to take out the lightning from his EsGen storage, but D disagreed.

[Try to picturise lightning flowing through your body and finally into the blade. You can passively create lightning as you create poison.]

Lee's eyes sparkled with delightment. He picturised as D told and lightning strikes began to appear on his body and blade. Everyone including Eran was aghast.

The intensity of lightning increased with each moment. Lee can feel uneasiness as the lightning sparkled over his body. The lightning began to spread over the ground itself.

The little girl on the balcony was pale. She can tell that her grandpa will meet his end if he's to encounter that intense lightning. The lightning was too horrible as it fried the grass instantly.

Lee was calm as the deep sea, inside and out. He raised his blade to strike. His lightning was like a loaded arrow, waiting to be released from the bow. Lee noticed the pale girl.

Lee and Eran slashed their blades. A strong gust of wind opposes lightning, but in vain. In a fraction of seconds, Eran was electrocuted. Lee felt a bit of hesitation in him and reduced the intensity at the last moment. The sword fell on the ground and Eran struggled to stand up, but ended up kneeling. His head was too numb to raise, his body unwilling to move. Seeing Eran take injury, warriors in Hidwig family jumped forward. Lee closed the distance between Eran in a second.

"Take another step and his head rolls on the ground!"

His words were not loud, but were very audible. Those warriors stopped in their tracks. Eran tried to stand up, but Lee released lightning and channeled it to his blade. The lightning contacted Eran and he fell on the floor, twitching.

Lee knelt on one knee near him and whispered-

"Empathy nurtures wisdom. Apathy cultivates ignorance.

Teach this to your household well"

Lee stood up and walked away and disappeared into the streets. All of Hidwig household were astonished as to what did he told the family-head.

Warriors and sword-wielders came near Eran and helped him up. They immediately brought him to the medical room as the physician treated his spasms. They queried about what Lee said, to which Eran kept mum. He felt burden and guilt in him since the moment he heard Lee's words.
