Chapter 1880 Sei Part 9

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

There was nothing much to say about it, to be honest. From the System perspective, it was merely an exchange of powers. No doubt it was a crazy duel that had no limits barred on them. Byakkou was shooting out electricity like nobody's business in all directions while Sei had used the element of earth to create walls so that the lightning strikes would not hit.

At first, System Rider Bakkou was able to intervene and do some damage and Sei played to the advantage of the Earth Element and created various rock barriers which did not allow Byakkou to strike through. It was only through brute force whenever he destroys the barrier that he shoots the lightning out but in return, those fists that penetrated through the barriers were met with counter attacks and Sei was extremely versatile in creating obstacles for Byakkou especially when they had fought hundreds of years ago.

"This is impossible for me. I have used the strongest of my lightning attacks but they are impenetrable for now. Let me rest and I will come back later. However, I urged that you find a similar lightning element minion to press with the attack. When you hit her with lightning element, it was extremely effective." Byakkou said as he tapped out.

It was only later Jin swapped to Ayse, his Head Researcher that things were a little more spicy. "I heard of the situation from the minions and the System. I am glad to be of service to you, Master Jin." She was extremely happy to be called out as she wanted to test out a variety of experimental devices along with her System Rider call out. It was as if she had been patiently waiting for the chance to do so.

"Do what it takes to win this. We cannot lose at all. Knowing your behaviour, you surely can get it done." Jin encouraged Ayse and all she presented was a confident smile.

That was when the tables started to turn a little more. The System Rider Suit suddenly seemed to have a temporary upgrade to its armour. Made from living Metal, Ayse had placed a booster pack behind him which allowed him to float, fly, and zoom around whenever. However, Ayse mentioned that there were functions that would be activated under certain conditions. It was not part of Ayse when she came in so this was undoubtedly a new module for the System Rider. She even said that it could be passed to the next monster when she tapped out... if She tapped out.

Not only that, but her storage ring which she asked the System to teleport in was filled with gadgets to test out. That was when Jin thought that this might be the winning formula against Sei. Ayse had the avatar Syldra by her side, the Lightning Shaitan. But what she had possessed that overpowered Byakkou aside from the power of lightning was the power of brains. She might not have that much brawn compared to the Cardinal but with Technology in her sight, Ayse believed Jin had chosen the right person to brawl it out with Sei.

"Let's try drones first," Ayse said as her storage ring flew out multiple Swallow drone birds and they had been imbued by the power of lightning. Sei immediately did the same trick again but this time, the birds perched on top of the Earth Element Barrier and did not attack. Instead, it continued to gather while Ayse actually threw a thermite charge on top of that barrier too. When activated, it burst the barrier and a bunch of dust emerged.

That was when all the swallow drone birds flew in like a hungry flock being attracted to leftover food. Sei was surprised as she could not sense the swallow drones for some reason and only Ayse who she believed was casting magic. After all, Sei did not appear and fought in modern wars so she had no idea that there were such things as drones.

But she did not care and used her water chi to crush them. The only problem with that was when one of them had been destroyed, it set a chain reaction that caused the rest to explode with electric bombs in there as well.

Add to the factor, Sei had stopped the birds from coming in by repairing the rock barrier, she effectively blocked herself within the small area and the chain lightning burst was extremely effective, causing extreme pain to her. The small radius due to the rock barriers made the burst even more potent since the energy dispersion had nowhere to go except to Sei's body.

"+1 for science," Ayse said she got more swallow drone birds to appear to do the next attack but Sei was not going to fall for the same trick. She removed the Rock Barrier and headed to destroy the swallows with her very own lightning Maqi as well. After all, those drones were metal, so they were vulnerable to lightning.

"Ah, then I guess you have to contend with this then." Out of the storage bag came dozens of drill like drone creatures. The fact that they had a drill on their nose was particularly odd but they all rushed towards Sei without care. The Seiryuu counterpart tried to use lightning bolts to burn the drill moles as well however, the drills were deflecting more of the lightning energy away as they moved in to pierce her.

Of course, Maqi was not only her forte right now as she slashed them away with her War Umbrella only to release dozens of insectoid drones within the drill. They latched onto her and started stinging her.

"You wicked! Using poison!" Sei shouted and Ayse shrugged her shoulders. "All things on the battlefield are fair. As long as you kill the enemy, there should be no problems with it," Ayse smiled as she once again dominated this particular duel. Those insectoids that were stinging here had a variety of poisons stored within their bodies.

Even though the doses were minimal, they were mainly meant to counteract the Maqi. And considering how Sei was now similar to Jin, it also meant that the potency was twice as effective. This is because Ayse had included Mana depleting venoms in the insectoid drones as well.

So, by hitting both chi and mana circuits, it was crippling Sei even further that once it was done, Ayse called out a huge lightning bolt courtesy of her Shaitan Syldra to finish the job. And if that was not enough, shoot a few more bolts until the enemy falls or manages to evade the bolts at least twice.

However, from the looks of it, Sei was not avoiding them and was trying her best to deflect the attacks with the War Umbrella that she had. It was then Ayse saw something amiss. She could feel an accumulation of chi despite the venoms that had been given to Sei. It was then a huge water and rock dragon flew out beneath the War Umbrella and towards Ayse.

Thinking that Ayse was a caster and not a warrior, Sei had been sorely mistaken that she was versatile in both by being a jack of all trades and maybe master of some.

"That was an interesting development. System, remember to pass me the data when this duel is done." Ayse said as she took out another toy from her storage ring. Jin now swears that he should pour more money into Research and Development whenever possible.
