Kill the Sun

Chapter 779: The Envious Researcher

Several kilometers away, Nick felt something locking onto his position.

The thing was behind a mountain.

Nick immediately transmitted the location to the Champion's glasses.

But he didn't react.

"It's waiting," the Champion transmitted. "It's very careful."

Sure enough, no attack arrived.

The thing just kept staying behind the mountain.

Nick got more time to sense the object, and due to the proximity, he could make out an outline.

He couldn't see the body with clarity, but he could tell that the object had the rough shape of a human.

But it also didn't completely have the appearance of a human.

There were many irregularities in its appearance.

Nick refined the image down to the silhouette.

When the Champion saw the human outline, he was surprised.

That was more accurate than he had expected.

As they waited, Nick tried to find forms that fit the irregularities in its appearance.

Nothing seemed to really fit.

Then, he subconsciously thought of the aliens, and the image fit much better.

However, it still wasn't really accurate.

It was like there were many more and much finer tentacles everywhere.

Finally, Nick thought of something, and it fit perfectly!

He sent the new image to the Champion, and the Champion now saw the Envious Researcher clearly.

A human nervous system.

It was a brain attached to a floating nervous system.

By fighting the Envious Researcher many times, the Shields knew that it had many small tentacles that launched attacks, but they were never able to truly see them.

Some seconds later, one of the nerves extended and came out from behind the mountain.

Nick's ability told him where the nerve was, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see it.

He knew its exact location but still couldn't see it.

That was terrifying.

The nerve slowly moved towards Aegis' headquarters.

BOOOOM!@@@@

As soon as it came within 500 meters of the researchers,the Champion of Light swung his sword, and a crescent of sunlight shot at the nerve.

The nerve was cut off and vanished immediately.

There was no trace of the nerve left.

An iridescent laser shot out.

BANG!

The laser hit the Envious Researcher's main body, but it didn't do any damage.

Instead, the laser dispersed into many chaotic light waves.

It was like a storm of electricity had appeared in the sky, except for the fact that it was just chaotic and colorful light.

As the light waves hit each other, a chaotic pattern emerged, which perfectly outlined the Envious Researcher's body.

Naturally, all the nerves immediately retreated, and the Envious Researcher started running.

But at the same time, shadows came out of the Left Arm's body, and her eyes started to turn into black whirlpools.

Her hair extended and turned white.

Meanwhile, a three-dimensional whirlpool appeared around the place where the Envious Researcher was.

The Left Arm was the best Suppressor in the entire world.

However, her power was limited.

The Envious Researcher managed to get out of the whirlpool almost immediately.

Yet, the difference between immediately and almost immediately at such a level of power was gigantic.

The Champion turned towards the whirlpool.

The light waves had already disappeared, and the Envious Researcher was invisible again.

However, for just an instant,the Envious Researcher was stuck in the air, inside the whirlpool.

Nick transmitted a clear image.

He transmitted a clear trajectory.

Almost immediately was a long time for people of their power, and the Envious Researcher moved slowly enough that Nick could send the image.

And the image depicted a very clear escape path that the Envious Researcher was following.

The Champion swung his sword.

A crescent of light shot at the Envious Researcher.

This was it!

This was their only strike!

All the cards were in their favor!

Everything from now on depended on the Champion!

If he wanted to miss, he would miss.

If he wanted to hit, he would hit.

It was all up to him.
