Chapter 478: An unknown light
Their ears are ringing from the noise. Even if they could cover their ears with their hands it wouldn\'t do much to mitigate the damage. They are so disoriented they can\'t point make out North or South.
After a bit of time passed, the noise and brilliance faded away followed by silence.
Kotori recovered her senses first. She moaned in pain and she tried to shake up the dizzy sensation before opening her eyes to check on the situation.
The vacant land they were sending on now had cracks that would probably need a lot of work to repair. Scratch that, even the solid rocks beneath the soft gravel had been overturned. This place now looked no different than a wasteland.
Over at the place where the bulk of the laser salvo hit, the land got reduce to a large crater. Even Kotori could barely see the bottom of the crater.
"Did he win?"
Kotori mumbled. Her expression turned grim when she looked around for somebody. Her face lit up when she saw a familiar emerging from the smoke.
"Incredible…"
Tohka, Yoshino, and Mana recovered from their stunned state. They can\'t believe Wu Yan caused the fissures and the crater here.
Wu Yan looked at his work while crackling with lightning. After pulling off a big move like this, Wu Yan started panting like a dog. The cannons behind him also had blue lights flashing in it, he didn\'t close his portals yet.
Maximum impact had a much better effect than he had expected. Even if this move took almost all his available energy, he\'s still proud of his new skill. He got drained because he used Electromaster, Gate of Babylon, and Eternal Arms Mastery all at the same time to the highest extent he can muster.
He relaxed his breathing and he straightened his back. Checking out the crater which is still fuming with smoke, he wondered how Kurumi is doing right now?
It\'s a pretty good chance for him right now.
He jumped up high and he landed near Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino, and Mana.
"Shido!"
Tohka yelled out loud in joy. She wanted to stand up but she couldn\'t do so. She lowered her head in a dejected manner. It\'s just not Tohka. Yoshino and Mana also can\'t move. Wu Yan and Kotori\'s face turned grim at this, this meant that Kurumi is still doing fine. If she got defeated, the hands would probably weaken if not outright disappearing.
Bang
Wu Yan turned around when he heard the gunshot.
Wu Yan can dodge this bullet but he chose to take this hit instead. The bullet entered his shoulder and blood started spilling from the wound. A solid hit finally landed on Wu Yan.
"Shido!"
Kotori gasped. She felt bad about this because she knew Wu Yan could evade a bullet this slow but this bullet would have ended up hitting her instead. He literally took the shot for her.
"I\'m fine."
Wu Yan examined his wound with his hand. Within the span of seconds, the bullet hole disappeared without a trace leaving only his stained shirt.
Looking into the crater, Kurumi emerged from the center with her gigantic clock behind her. Her red and golden eyes are shining in a menacing manner.
"As expected of the man I set my eyes on…"
Kurumi said with a serious face. She continued in a cold tone.
" If I didn\'t summon duplicates to block the attack for me, I am afraid I wouldn\'t even be able to raise my gun right now…"
Wu Yan responded in a nonchalant manner.
"Oh? That attack can take you down huh? Do you have the confidence to block one more attack like that? I don\'t think you have got enough clones to block all my attacks."
"Ara ara, Shido-san, do you think the same method will work on me twice?"
Kurumi called Wu Yan out on his bluff.
He managed to obtain an advantage in this battle because he knew about Kurumi\'s abilities while Kurumi didn\'t know the full extent of his powers. It\'s going to be hard to pull another one over Kurumi after she analyzed his skills.
"By the way…"
Kurumi raised her guns at him.
"I did summon a lot of my clones and almost all of them died but… I still have one clone…"
Wu Yan\'s pupil shrank and his body tensed up.
"Seventh Bullet, Zayin!!"
He could hear a lot of gunshots overhead.
A rain of bullets fell, they were all Seventh bullets Seventh Bullets, Zayin.
With a wave of his hand, portals formed overhead and around him in a protective manner. Black sand flickered within the portals.
He tried to form shields with the iron sand in his Gate of Babylon portals but the bullets entered the portal before he managed to form the shields.
The bullets disappeared into the portals, Wu Yan and Kurumi are just as surprised by this event. Wu Yan didn\'t know his Gate of Babylon could do this, it\'s quite a pleasant surprise actually.
The portals which the bullets disappeared into started shining with a strange glow.
"What\'s going on?"
Wu Yan had never seen this kind of stuff happen before. His Gate of Babylon is currently reacting in a strange manner.
Wu Yan could see weird ripples that overwhelmed the ripples in space caused by his Gate of Babylon. The weird ripples started becoming larger and larger.
The glow followed suit and slowly increased in radiance.
