Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 191: When Malice Meets Serenity

Lee felt a pain that was non-existent even when he fought with the Tyrant fairy after increasing his attributes. That beast could not hurt him as his Guard was high. But now, something has appeared that is powerful enough to make him stumble backward, and feel an immense pain.

In front of him was a dark elf. Its eyes displayed black eyeballs and white pupils. Standing as tall as Lee, its slender figure was covered by a deep brown cloak with faint grey border lines. The greyish white hair was long and it touched it's shoulders. With its hands behind his back, it had a mocking expression, and its head was slightly tilted, as it scanned Lee from top to bottom.

The being scanned around him, and the sight fell over the trio. For Tera, Mia and An, this person was someone not seen before, was he was somehow different from the common dark elves.

[Lee, Gauthama asks to let him out. Use View and you will find out why.]

Lee was initially surprised as Gauthama raised alert against this dark elf. He promptly used the View skill and his heart almost came to a halt.

The next instant, Lee snapped his fingers and a spatial tear formed. Gauthama stepped out of the System Space, and gave a sharp gaze at the stranger. Hegerus saw him and his brows were raised.

"I did not expect to see a fellow being here."

The dark elf took a step forward and spoke. Gauthama stepped in front of Lee, and blocked any further advance of the Tubian.

"Why are you here Hegerus?"

The aura of serenity swept across them and it was dense. The trio and Lee felt as if they were lying on a thick bed of cotton. The wave of serenity paused the dark elf. As a response, a thick dark envelope began to surround Hegerus. The aura solidified and it was as if the dark elf had become more darker.

"Lutapi was killed by someone, and this human has the final traces of him."

Now, the situation was clear to Lee and D. Lutapi was the parasitic Tubian they had encountered in the flatlands. Though none had bore witness to the incident, the information acquired from the immature Tubian was of great value to the research of D.

Lee gripped the blade, even though he knows that he is not a match to the Tubian named Hegerus. He used View on Gauthama and a screen popped up.

=====

Name: Siddhartha Gauthama

Race: Tubian

Age: +4 millennia

Health: 9,200,000,000

Power: 82,600,000,000

The fact that Hegerus is physically superior to Gauthama, hit Lee hard. Though Gauthama was more than hundred times to Lee in every attribute, he was still weaker to Hegerus. If a fight was to break out, the combined forces of Lee and Gauthama cannot put an effective resistance against the dark elf.

"You know the rules, Gauthama. Yava has asked for compensation. If you do not step aside, then I might have to forcefully remove you."

D was sweating profusely as he heard Tubian's words. If they are seeking compensation, then both him and Lee are in so much trouble. That was not the only reason. This was the second time D came across the name Yava, and it had sowed fear in his mind as he saw the said person's appearance. The existence of someone who can make a Tubian who is more than 30 millennia old, his messenger, could not be a simpleton.

"This man is gifted. I would have to object to the decision."

Gauthama made his statement clear with an unwavering mind. His intention to fight, if necessary, was evident from the words.

"Lutapi was like a little brother for Yava. Thus his death does not demand the soul of the culprit but those related to him."

Lee unconsciously stepped back at this revelation. His soul trembled as the words fell in his ears. A shadow of helplessness covered him and he vulnerably gazed at An. Her eyes reflected her heart's silent agony when the Tubian disclosed the information.

"You shall not pass!"

Gauthama took firm and steady steps towards Hegerus and his words resonated the will to use brute force. Though he was aware that he cannot hold him back, Gauthama hoped to give them a few seconds, which is enough for Lee to open the portal and take them into the System Space.

The eyes were like balls of fire, and his whole being was bright with energy. As the aura of Serenity exploded forth, Gauthama stood like a wall in front of Hegerus.

"Gauthama, you never listened to your elders. Due to your affinity with Serenity, my Malice deeply hated your presence. Your judge will be Yava himself."

The next instant, both Tubians vanished. Their disappearance made no sound and left no trace. As the trio were dumbfounded how the events turned out, only Lee was able to witness the reality.

The Tubians were moving at such a high speed that his eyes could not accurately follow them. Lee was able to sense their traces at certain intervals all around him, and that was when the pinnacle entities slowed down. Yet, the speed at which they moved was still beyond millions, and D shouted-

[Gauthama is losing. Escape to the System Space.]

Like a lightning flashing across the night sky, Lee moved with utmost precision and created a spatial tear next to the trio. An, Mia and Tera were stunned and had frozen like a statue upon the Tubian's threatening words, and their want to survive skyrocketed as they saw a sense of horror on Lee's face.

An wanted to enquire the reason, but the time was not right. His actions so fast to even register, jolted their hearts, and it took them a second to understand what his intentions were.

As the spatial tear was opened, Hegerus found that the playtime was over.
