Chapter 1045: 1045 Calculations



The Constructs had a unique society as they were the only race that believed that technology was the future, even though it had already made incredible progress. For them, it was only part of the way to the real progress Nitra spoke of.

Only in a peaceful world, with no barriers to scientists and their studies, could the Constructs quickly fulfill their dreams. Other races felt that technology was nothing more than a convenience, most often useless, for this world had energy and creatures like Alucard.

What was the point of a cool laser cannon if someone with energy could deflect a devastating ray with a swing of his sword? Or, what was the point of research if in thousands of years, Constructs hadn't come close to the regeneration rate of regular Vampires, let alone Alucard?

At that rate, it would take them millions of years to achieve something to rival the energy the Constructs themselves thought they had. The other races thought it was impossible, technology could never surpass the basic rules of their world and energy.

However, the Constructs believed in their abilities, especially the Nitra, for they knew they were already superior in something. It was computation. No creature could calculate as fast as a simple calculator, much less a powerful computer, it was simply impossible.

Considering the peculiarities of Constructs' bodies, and the fact that they were partly mechanisms, it was quite possible for them. In fact, the stronger a Construct was, the faster it thought, and this could be used in various ways, even in battle.

"So... What's next? Using all your strength to wipe me out with one powerful attack?" Liang asked with a calm expression, even though he already knew the answer.

Nitra smirked, "Don't play dumb, you know my strength, the strength of every Construct." 

Liang shrugged, "I'm afraid you overestimate your capabilities. Even just to wound me it would take you so many tries you'd get tired of trying."

Nitra's eyes sparkled as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Well, we'll find out soon enough," then she snapped.

At the same moment, violent lightning bolts emerged from several thunderclouds, heading straight for Liang. There were only a few of them, but they were moving close enough that even the most experienced warrior would have a hard time dodging.

"Agh... Not impressive." Liang calmly said, taking several steps forward, each time slightly changing his direction.

Lightning bolts rained down on the ground, right behind him, every time he took a step. However, none of them hit the target, and Liang remained completely unharmed, only a few grains of sand hit his mantle.

"And? Is that really it?" Liang looked at Nitra with disdain.

Nitra tilted her head, "Of course not! That was just foreplay, brief but revealing."

Then, Nitra waved her hands as electric shocks ran through her palms. A multitude of metal pillars activated, attracting powerful lightning bolts falling from the heavens.

The pillars threw the lightning bolts to the sides, gradually increasing in number, and it could go on like this indefinitely.

Every second, the number of lightning bolts increased as well as the activated pillars, just as the thunderclouds were constantly unleashing a new wave of lightning on the ground.

In less than a minute, most of the desert had turned into an area with a thousand lightning bolts, some of which were heading straight for Liang.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Liang dodged each lightning bolt, his experience and reaction was more than enough to avoid several attacks. However, lightning was not his enemy, now they were as natural as wind currents here.

"Come on! Show me what you can do!" Nitra exclaimed, unleashing a strike filled with lightning energy on Liang.

Liang took a step back as Nitra's fist passed in front of his face, but at the same moment, a random bolt of lightning struck his shoulder.

No emotion appeared on Liang's face, but it was obvious that the hit was successful as part of his mantle was burned.

"Hahaha, it looks like your reaction isn't enough for something like that, is it?" Nitra exclaimed with a crazy smile, unleashing a hail of blows on Liang.

He dodged and deflected the attacks, however, occasionally the lightning bolts would hit him. The difficulty was increased by the fact that Nitra didn't control them. In that case, he could predict her next action, but she and the lightning bolts were unrelated.

"Oh, it looks like Liang is starting to have a real problem." Osvald muttered, slightly surprised. 

"Yeah, that's not surprising." Marlis nodded with a deep look, "There hasn't been any change for Nitra. I'm sure those lightning bolts could hurt her too, but she can see the movement of each lightning bolt."

"Damn... That's incredible..." Osvald scratched the back of his head uncertainly, "I can keep track of ten, maybe twenty if I concentrate, the lightning bolts move pretty fast. However, she can actually see each one moving, right?"

Sven nodded, "Yeah, that's her advantage as a Construct. However, I doubt Liang will let it last long."I think you should take a look at

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Nitra began to accelerate, unleashing more and more blows on Liang. Liang remained calm, at least there wasn't any emotion on his face, however, that didn't mean everything was fine.

'I won't really be able to surpass her under these conditions. She follows every lightning bolt, for her it's on a reflex level, but for me it's just flashes doing constant damage to me.'' Liang internally muttered as two lightning bolts slammed into his back.

Crackle.

At the same moment, Nitra's fist slammed into his face, throwing him aside. Blood came out of Liang's nose with waves of pain spreading through his body, then several lightning bolts struck him again.

This time they were much more powerful because of the energy particles that Nitra had left on Liang's body after the last strike, so his body started to shake violently.

"Hahaha, you're trapped! Your body might be pretty damn strong, but sooner or later you'll be finished!" Nitra exclaimed, pointing her palm at Liang, and launching an energy laser at him.

Liang quickly regained his balance as he reflected the laser with a swing of his sword, but several lightning bolts immediately flew at him, and Nitra repeated her earlier attack.

"Agh!" Liang gasped as the devastating laser slammed into his back, throwing him hundreds of meters forward, causing him to roll on the sand while hundreds of lightning bolts flew over him.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Slowly clapping her hands together, Nitra approached Liang. All the while, she was stepping in special places so that no lightning would hit her. Lightning bolts flew beside her, over her shoulders and under her arms, but they couldn't hit her.

Liang leisurely got up from the ground while several lightning bolts rained down on his body. However, it didn't bother him at all at the time as all his attention was focused on something else.

He looked at his reflection, among the scarlet drops of blood partially covering his palm. For every fighter, this would be something normal and natural, wounds were inevitable.

However, for Liang, it had a deeper meaning, for he could not remember the last time he had seen his blood. It was so long ago that his mind had expunged the event from his memory as unnecessary.

"Ah... What a beautiful color... I missed this..." Liang muttered with a slight smile on his face, "This is what I wanted to fight against the whole world alone for, but it seems that it's not necessary..."

Liang glanced at Alucard. Their gazes met for just a moment, but it was enough for them to understand each other.

"Hahaha, you finally realized that an ordinary war or battle with me would be enough to dispel boredom and feel alive again!" Alucard smirked slyly, "That's exactly what friends are for!"

Then, Liang took a deep breath and raised his sword high above his head.

The lightning bolts continued to attack him, as well as Nitra, rapidly approaching him with discharges of electricity greatly accelerating her.

"It won't do you any good! You won't be able to cut all the lightning bolts! They'll just reappear! Accept your defeat!" Nitra exclaimed furiously, gathering a huge amount of energy in her palms.

Liang didn't reply anything, he just gathered streams of wind around his sword before thrusting it into the ground.

"Hm?" Wain raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. What Liang did was different from his previous attacks and his fighting style in general. He usually cut everything in his path using his skill, but right now, he just stabbed his sword into the ground.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, powerful streams of wind came from the tip of the sword, breaking through the crack in the ground to the top.

The wind gradually expanded, increasing its area of influence and temporarily driving away the lightning. The wind currents were powerful enough to throw Nitra aside, she simply couldn't resist the pressure.

"And what next?!" Nitra shouted, "As soon as the wind weakens everything will go back up! You didn't change anything!"

Liang shook his head, "Oh, you're wrong. Something I did, I gave myself some time for real action."

Then, Liang pointed his sword forward, with a serious look. He wasn't going to attack, he had another task in mind.

The guardians watching the battle from afar didn't notice it, unlike Wain and Sven, but something changed around Liang. The sand next to him fell slightly as if gravity had increased in this area, and this field continued to expand.
