Chapter 581 - Sia [1]: A Beautiful Red

581 Sia [1]: A Beautiful Red

Sia held her waist and bent slightly.

A bead of sweat rolled down her forehead and reached the ground.

But before it could touch the soil, the temperature of the air spiked.

Szz!

The droplet of sweat evaporated.

The one responsible for it made an entrance.

Zaap!

A long whip with adamantium spikes emitting a golden light shot towards her feet.

"Tsk."

Sia's gravity sense locked the whip and—

Swish!

The whip suddenly bent backward and shot towards its owner.

"Bitch!"

A tall man cursed as he hurriedly withdrew the lightning mana from the whip. The golden whip turned back to its original grey color and its adamantium spikes withdrew.

Even then, if the whip was fast enough to injure him.

So, he created a lightning barrier.

Bam!

When the whip was about to touch the barrier, it suddenly pulled back and then slapped from the right, where there was no barrier.

"Crazy gravity bitch!" The tall man cursed again and did what he didn't want to.

Zaap!

A complete lightning barrier.

It was expensive on his mana since—

"Get off that fruit! It's mine!"

"Fuck off!"

Zaap! Rumble!

Roar!

Amid the curses of a male and a female, lightning rumbled and the roars of dragons filled the air.

Sia's brows knit together as she looked sideways.

Currently, they were on the top of a large green hill.

At the peak of the hill, there was a giant golden tree, almost five hundred meters tall.

The trees' golden leaves sparkled with lightning arcs from time to time as lightning mana coursed through every vein of the giant tree.

The roots of the tree were out in the air, pulsing every few seconds as they sucked in aura from the surroundings.

The leaves twitched lightly every few seconds as they let out everything else apart from the lightning mana.

From time to time, the branches would shake lightly and emit lightning bolts. Each of these lightning bolts was strong enough to obliterate a low-level 8 and kill level 7s dozens of times over.

These lightning bolts were erratic, unpredictable, and naturally, dangerous.

But the tree offered something worth all the danger.

On one of the topmost branches, there was a single fruit growing at the edge.

It looked like an orange but was light gold.

Golden Bolt Fruit from the Golden Bolt Tree.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

"Roar!"

Rumble!

Just a few hundred meters away from the tree, a lightning dragon clashed with a lightning spear.

They also understood why she hid her identity through a common disguised face that didn't suit her temperament at all.

Her real identity must be terrifying.

That's why their only thoughts were persuading her to give up.

"Y-Yes! Besides, this fruit isn't very useful to strong among level 8s. W-We only want it because we are too weak in our age group." The woman said with a flushed face.

She wasn't as young as she looked. In fact, she was over seventy. Some of her peers had already left her behind and reached level 9.

Only she was stuck in high level 8.

Even though the thunderbolt fruit didn't guarantee anything, she hoped it could send her to peak level 8.

"R-Right! You are a gravity awakener! You have no use for this!" The man said again.

Sia raised her hand and the air turned chaotic.

The gravity started to distort and the duo expected a crazy pressure on their bodies.

Zap! Zap!

They quickly elementalized and turned their bodies into lightning form, reducing the damage.

The man and woman looked at each other and nodded.

Using their full power, they created a lightning dragon and a lightning spear.

Rumble! Roar!

The two attacks reached Sia in the blink of an eye. But.

Boom!

As if there was an invisible barrier surrounding her, the attacks couldn't touch her. Moreover, the closer the dragon and spear got to Sia, the smaller they appeared as if they were crushed by gravity.

Then it suddenly happened.

The lightning dragon and spear were forcibly shifted and faced each other.

"No!"

"Stop!"

It was too sudden to react.

Boom!

Following a huge explosion, a heavy pressure descended on the man and woman, knocking them out.

The dust settled and an even more bloodied Sia came into view.

It wasn't as easy as she made it seem. Facing both their attacks put her under severe strain.

When the attacks blew up each other, her gravity barrier finally broke. Sia jumped back to avoid the aftermath, but a few bolts of lightning struck her feet.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Sia walked to the golden bolt tree.

With each step she took, blood flowed out of her feet.

The bloodied footsteps formed a stark contrast on the golden soil.

Finally, those footsteps stopped before the tree.

Sia raised her hand and a force emanated out of her fingertips.

Whoosh!

The branch holding the fruit twisted slightly and the fruit shook before it was plucked by an invisible force.

Then, Sia used her hand as the gravity target for the fruit.

So, instead of falling to the ground, the fruit fell into her palm.

As a weak lightning arc entered her hand and tingled her, Sia remarked. "I'm not a lightning awakener."

"But," She softly caressed the fruit and muttered.

"He is."

The blood dripping down her fingertips stained the golden fruit.

It was a beautiful red.
