Chapter 323: Tubian Orc
[I need time to dig up my memories. It would be great if we could stay nearby.]
While observing the pondering faces of the father and son, Lee Shen acknowledged Hudson's request.
'Though we have lost Map, we still have the Workshop.
D, can you make hundreds of super small drones for surveillance and supervision?'
[On it.]
Lee Shen stood there staring at the faces of Exen and Sai. Both of them had an uncertain expression regarding the child's ability.
[Done. You can release them from the System Storage.]
Lee slowly brought his hands behind him and used his index finger to draw a line in mid-air.
*buzz...*
A faint buzzing could be heard as thousands of tiny drones rose into the air and scattered around the mansion. The current tension and the inaudible noise from a distance made their scattering successful.
[Hudson is controlling the drones.]
About now, the old man raised his eyes and displayed his knitted brows. The next second he relaxed his brows and thanked Lee.
"I thank you for accepting our invitation to evaluate my grandchild. As a symbol of gratitude, please accept our gift."
When the old man tapped his cane slightly on the floor, the door behind him was opened and two servants came out holding something wrapped in beautiful red clothes.
Even took the object from the hands of the servants and displayed the beautifully crafted glass shield.
Before they could hand over the gift, Lee Shen raised his hand and spoke-
"I don't want to be rude, but my actions were simple and not worth mentioning. I came here accepting the invitation and I have accomplished what I could do.
Thus, I shall not be accepting your gift."
Lee sounded unusually rude, and the patriarch furrowed his brows. Exen too found his words unacceptable.
Unbeknownst to them, it was Hudson's sudden shouts to get out of there, that made him reply rudely.
While walking to the Draconic Wyverns, Lee furiously arranged Hudson with his anger and queries.
[If we had stayed there, we would have been in a lot of trouble.]
Lee was confused by his words.
[I felt the presence of a Tubian in the mansion's basement.]
Lee froze like a statue upon hearing the term 'Tubian'. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes were opened wide.
Unconsciously, he raised his hand and calmed his troubled heart. Quickly climbing on the back of Cryo, he asked to fly towards the mainland of Intellus as fast as possible.
Zena too felt the change in Lee and she followed Cryo's figure rising into the air. Though she could not figure out what it was, Lee Shen's fluctuating mental graph was felt by Zena.
The departure was too quick to be a normal take-off and this scene sowed seeds of doubts in the hearts of Sai. As he saw the wyverns flying away into the horizon heading towards the mainland, an orc came out of the mansion after kicking the grandiose front door to smithereens.
"Grrr!"
The blood-red eyes reflected anger as the unusually large orc clenched its fists. This sight made Sai and Exen tremble in fear.
"What is it, oh great and powerful?"
At once, the orc Tubian raised his hand and pointed at the figures of the three wyverns disappearing in distance.
"Enemy!"
The rough voice shook the foundation of the mansion and the roar that followed it produced shockwaves. The force pushed the patriarch and the eldest son backwards.
"But your injuries?"
Sai Triad tried to restrict him from unleashing his powers by pointing out that he is injured. But the orc was too angry to notice the words he spoke.
Like swatting a fly, the orc swung his hand and hit the old man. With the sound of bones cracking, the old man fell afar from where he stood motionless.
What happened next made the walls of the mansion crack like a spider web.
The orc launched itself into the atmosphere with so much force that the floor crumbled!
Boom!!!
The shockwaves reached Aero and he twisted his body to take a glance at the projectile. But what awaited his face was a supernatural punch powered by the Tubian of Anger!
BAM!
Aero was thrown away like a ragdoll from the impact. Still, he retained his consciousness and regretted his action.
Before he could realise what was happening, a pair of foot pressed on his back which pummeled him to the ground.
And using this force, the orc jumped high into the air to perform a magnificent slam dunk!
"200,000 Essence to Mana and Qi!"
An absurdly high amount of Essence was converted into Mana and Qi, and the entire reserve was depleted to cover his entire body and to boost all of his existing stats.
A glance at what happened to Aero made him realise how strong the enemy is. Thus, anger welled up in Lee which urged him to confront the enemy.
Also, D commented on the bad luck Lee had been bestowed with.
"Save Aero."
At his command, Pyro and Cryo turned around and flew towards Aero. The wyvern was reduced to a pathetic condition and his spine had fractured. Aero's skull had been damaged deeply and D quickly materialised a spatial tear to take him inside the System Space.
The orc was descending on Cryo when Lee Shen shot up with phenomenal attributes. The Qi running through his body was so overwhelming that it launched his attributes to a whole new level. The Mana that clouded his being was so dense that Lee was the manifestation of power itself.
But this did not deter the orc. Instead, it made him grin viciously.
"Good, a strong enemy!"
Shouting out loud, the orc disclosed his affinity which changed its skin colour to deep red. This change was quite unanticipated and D was stunned.
[Tubian of Anger.]
Lee did not concern himself with the comment as he rose straight ahead to the orc. The orc, grinning wildly, was too happy to unleash the full extent of his powers after a while.
And the fists collided!
