Liang could split the desert in two with a single swing of his sword or turn Alucard into dozens of cubes of meat in a second. The strength of his body was at an incredible height, even for Gael it would be difficult for him to resist such a strong and fast opponent.
Axalts' physical stats were always higher than other races, even Vampires, Beastfolks, and Ashens, couldn't show similar results. This was the Axalts' advantage and the consequence of having to absorb energy for much longer than other races.
So, considering that Liang was the strongest Axalt, his body was the peak form, the dream for every Axalt, and there was a reason for that.
When he killed Ynez, and she was about to blow him up after his death, using the energy in her core, Liang was not affected in any way. He didn't defend himself, didn't move away to a safe distance, and didn't use any special skills. There was no need for him to do so.
He could compress the energy coming from the sphere with the incredible density of his aura, all he had to do was concentrate. Even the densest energy was much lighter than the compressed aura of a strong being like Liang, so such attacks couldn't hurt him.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The transparent, almost invisible aura continued to spread around Liang like a protective field. In order to maintain it, he expended energy, but the most important thing was his concentration.
Nothing was to distract him, all his thoughts had to be focused only on the fight. A novice would hardly last long, but for a seasoned warrior like Liang, even a few weeks of fighting at this pace wouldn't be a problem.
Nitra took a few steps back as several lightning bolts flew by her side. They were heading straight for Liang, and if he wanted he could dodge them, but he didn't need to.
Whoooooooooooooosh.
As soon as the lightning bolts approached Liang, they pressed against the ground, directing their momentum into the sand, and quickly dissolving into it.
Regardless of how many lightning bolts were heading towards Liang, as soon as they entered the range of his aura, which was no more than a meter, the lightning bolts moved towards the ground.
"What...? How are you doing that?" Nitra was puzzled, continuing to dodge the lightning bolts to make sure as many of them hit Liang as possible. However, it was to no avail.
"Are you using some sort of mechanism? How did you create such a powerful gravity field? Wait...? Could it be magnetic force?" Nitra guessed a few options, although she was smart, she couldn't understand how Liang was doing it.
In fact, she could easily guess as well as any strong enough person watching the fight. However, her mind did not want to recognize the obvious.
"Mechanism?" Liang tilted his head looking at her as if she was insane, "Why would I want that? Everything that is happening now is a result of my power. It's just my aura, can't you see that?"
Nitra's eyes went wide, then she clenched her fists tightly and swung her hand.
"No! There's no way your aura can be so dense that gravity changes around you! It's definitely some kind of trick!" Nitra exclaimed as her eyes sparkled.
Then, more lightning began to fall from the sky, and the electric pillars activated at full power, increasing the amount of lightning each time.
Liang shook his head, slowly stepping forward, "You think you can hurt me if you increase the total amount of lightning?"
Nitra didn't answer anything, she just jumped back, occasionally taking steps to the side so the lightning bolts wouldn't hit her. Now that there were a lot more of them, even she had to strain a bit to calculate everything.
"Hah, she's completely confused." Wain smirked, enjoying the hopelessness Nitra was facing. Her global plan had failed and Liang didn't have to use something important or some trump card of his own to do so. His aura was enough.
"Yeah... It looks like it. If she wants to continue the battle then she needs to come up with something right away, perhaps use her the Form right away." Sven nodded, "Just a little more, and Liang will get close enough to her that even she won't be able to dodge."
Liang looked away, at the Tree, "You know, a great tragedy is going to fall on your world today, and it's all because you pissed me off."
"Don't you dare even think about that!" Nitra exclaimed, causing the lightning bolts to become even faster.
Now the lightning bolts looked like thousands of flashes or energy lasers creating one single network where there were almost no safe places.
However, ironically it was Liang who was the safest, only there was no endless stream of violent lightning bolts near him. They simply disappeared into the sand, which could easily absorb any amount of electricity.
If anyone, even a few God Stage creatures, had been in Liang's place, they would have died in a matter of seconds. Nitra's plan was dangerous and worked perfectly, just not against Liang.
"Come on. You and I are adults. We have to take responsibility for our actions and face the consequences. If you would just accept that I'm not on your side, then I wouldn't have invaded your world." Liang calmly said as he gripped the hilt of his sword tighter.
"We would have only met in war, or maybe it wouldn't have happened at all, who knows? But, things are different now. You crossed the line by following me for years and trying to destroy my city and my people!" Liang exclaimed, swinging his sword.
Nitra's pupils narrowed as for a moment the world slowed down for her. The lightning bolts practically stopped for her, yet Liang's arm moved at almost normal speed.
A shield of dense lightning energy quickly appeared in front of it, then, a wind blade came crashing down on it, easily splitting the shield in two and severing Nitra's left arm.
Nitra didn't panic, she knew that if Liang's attack was successful, her body wouldn't be able to withstand it, but, for her, that wasn't a problem.
Whoooooosh.
Nitra soared up, grabbed her hand and put it to the wound. The microparticles in her body quickly connected the limb to the torso and it was one piece again. This was unusual regeneration, not at all like Alucard or Polosa.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "Not bad, but, it's not enough to recover quickly in case of emergency." Wain said calmly, looking intently at Nitra.
"Yeah, you're right." Sven nodded, "If Liang damages her internal organs, it will practically be the end for her. A few wounds like that she'll be able to withstand, but not too many."
"Hmm?" Osvald turned to Sven, giving him a puzzled look, "Won't she just be able to recover?"
Sven shook his head, "No, don't forget, she's half robot, a mechanism. Losing an arm is the same as a bolt falling out, nothing serious and fixable in a couple of seconds, but, without chips and processors even the best bolts don't matter."
Sven sighed, "Anyway, her regeneration is fast, but only on limbs or scratches."
Osvald nodded.
Whoooooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, Liang tore forward while lightning bolts tried to pass through his barrier. Nitra's palms were covered in a layer of electrical discharges, she was ready to attack.
Liang swung his sword like a true master, each attack was precise and aimed at Nitra's weak point. However, Nitra was the Progenitor of Constructs, so she was not an easy opponent.
Nitra saw Liang's every move and even deflected some of his attacks, without any consequences for herself. All she needed was her hands and lightning energy for extra power.
"Hah, you looked so arrogant when you found a way to counter my lightning, but what now? What's next!" Nitra exclaimed with an excited expression, unleashing a powerful strike at Liang.
Liang swung his sword, blocking Nitra's fist, but the shockwave went through his body, throwing him back dozens of meters.
Then, Nitra put her palm to the ground as her eyes flashed. All the lightning bolts now began to obey her and Liang could easily recognize where they were going and dodge, but now it was all pointless. His barrier was completely protecting him.
So, Nitra decided to abandon the past plan and use the full power of millions of lightning bolts to seriously damage Liang.
Even the first lightning bolts were giving Liang trouble, so if Nitra put them all together, it would be something really powerful.
Whooooooooooooooooosh.
The lightning bolts headed upwards, filling the Thunderclouds with extra power, and sending many bright white flashes of electrical discharges across the dark, gray sky.
The thunderclouds began to rotate around a single pulse, while loud peals of thunder rumbled throughout Construct World.
"Well, well, it looks like we're finally getting to something serious." Liang said calmly, placing his sword on his shoulder.
Above Liang, a huge whirlwind of thunderclouds with the most powerful lightning discharges condensed. All the lightning bolts connected to each other, transferring energy to one point, and accumulating into a sphere that could burst at any moment.
Even the creatures a few kilometers distant ran away. They sensed how dangerous it was.
"Come on. Let's see what you can do." Liang confidently said as the dense aura around him dissipated.
Then, the energy traveled along his sword, with light currents of wind rippling his mantle and long black hair.
