Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 193: Buddha Enters 'Dark Awakening' Phase

Like a lightning, Tubian of Malice vanished and closed the distance. His hand caught the neck of Lee, but his focus was set on the trio. A much denser miasma spread over those three and their souls were slowly and visibly being separated from their bodies.

"Not on my watch."

D went past Hegerus like a wind, and his fist was pressed into the dark elf's chest. The force made him lose footing as he rose into the air. A quick twirl on his foot, and a spectacular kick empowered by immense angular momentum from the spin, threw Hegerus away.

The souls went back into the bodies of the trio and Lee was released from the deadly grip, again. The dark skinned death-dealer found footing in the air, as it is an innate feature of almost all Tubians.

"Hey oldman, I don't care if you are the Amortal himself, but do not mess with the mighty Yava's decision."

For a second, D was frozen like an icicle. It was understandable for someone like him who stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation through many deadly battles and hardships, to know about Amortals. But for someone like a Tubian to know about the malicious masterminds, sounded somehow suspicious. Throughout his interaction with Gauthama, he had not shown any familiarity with the term.

Lee had his eyes wide open as the word 'Amortal' fell in his ears. He raised his head with pain, and saw that the source of the voice was indeed the hostile Tubian. He too recollected that Gauthama had not shown any knowledge about the term. At that instance, he confirmed that there is a possibility that some Tubians might have recently made some contact with those amorphous antisocial animals.

Hegerus took this moment to sprint and get a hold onto the neck of the Dimension Sovereign. Even before D could do something, Hegerus had thrown D into air. The sheer force with which he was launched into the air, created a sonic boom. Like a spacecraft aiming the eternal abyss, D simply broke the planet's gravity and flew out into space!

Gauthama climbed at the nick of the time, and caught a glimpse of D flying away like a ragdoll. The acceleration made the oldman fly out Gauthama's eyesight and into the unknown. Something told in his mind that this flight to outer space was for a magnificent landing.

The twin stars exhibited tiredness and were showing an urge to lean on the waterbed. The orange-red sky was like a masterpiece of art. Hegerus took a moment to enjoy the sight above the head, and sighed in relief of getting rid of an obstacle.

Turning to Lee, who was on his knees, Hegerus faintly flicked his forehead and he flew and crashed on the next building. He broke the parapet and laid there motionless. Something urged Lee to not lie down, and he raised his head to see the dark elf standing next to the trio.

*ba-dum*

An especially sinister cloud was produced from his palms, and it flew to the ladies. Mia and Tera saw this approaching miasma as if it was a snake. An was unfortunately unconscious and failed to see this bone-chilling scene.

Tera exerted all of her strength into her hands and tried to crawl away. But the cloud coiled around her arm and broke her bones like stepping on twigs!

"AAAHHHHHHH!!!"

A loud cry rose up and the sky reflected her agony. The pain went over the roof as her fingers were crushed. The pain and sufferings turned silent, but she was crying.

*sob*

Mia saw this, and her soul froze. She could only suppress her agonies and try to move away. But she too met with the same fate. The cloud rose above her upside-down body, and it formed into the shape of dark and menacing spikes.

*puchik*

The pitch black spikes came down on her back like a guillotine and pierced her torso. Every internal organs except her heart were pierced. Mia did not move any further, as she was pinned on the ground by the spikes.

Lee was not strong enough to see how the events turned out. His heart had melted away from the pain of witnessing these. He wished for something to happen, someone to show up.

The lifeless body of Mia was enveloped by the cloud completely. Like a cocoon, it surrounded her and solidified. Tera rolled in pain, and she saw what had happened to her friend. Her sadness had transformed into despair. The sight was heartbreaking.

Gauthama was no longer the cool and collected Tubian. His eyes were not bright like a sun, but dark like a new moon. His hairs were floating in the air, and he had an ominous aura materialised above his head. A hostile energy was around him and there were many faint black stripes on his skin. Lee saw the transformation, and his mind was glad to have someone stand up.

The hostile energy rippled across the atmosphere, and Hegerus looked over his shoulder. Seeing Gauthama in the Dark Awakening, he could not help but laugh mockingly. One of his arms was relieved from producing the deadly gaseous substance and he took a 90 degree twirl to stare at his fellow Tubian.

(A.N. The Dark Awakening is a phase where a Tubian embraces another concept/element than his/her true speciality. This can give a great boost to the attributes for a brief moment, but the backlash is simply.painful!! The Tubian might even lose his/her life upon such an attempt. Not all Tubians can pull off this trick, and only an extremely few can come back without perishing.)

"You embraced Dark Awakening? For what? To save these pests from my grasp. Remember it is-"

Before Hegerus could complete his statement, Gauthama had punched him in the chest. But the amplification of speed and the enhanced durability made his hand go through the chest of the dark elf. Hegerus was stunned and went pale at this occurrence. Glancing at Gauthama's face, all he saw was death staring dead into his eyes.
