Chapter 983: Strategies



Erik had to find a way to attract the lightning, but that would not be simple.

he asked the biological supercomputer.

the supercomputer said.

Erik focused as the supercomputer gave him ideas.

conduct electricity, creating a pathway that would attract Volkov's lightning away from you and Richard.>

He nodded. To do that, he could slightly ice the walls so that the lightning was going to stay away from him. The problem was that he wasn't exactly sure how much time it would take for the walls to moisturize enough to attract the lightning.

The system said it would work, but how effective would it be? Would he need to stay close to the walls?

That was another good idea, one Erik knew it would work based on what Richard said. Though he knew that doing that would be the hardest among the options he had available, and that was just because of its mana consumption.

The bigger, faster, and stronger the winds he made were, the higher the mana expenditure on his brain crystal. Wind wasn't easy to use to begin with and was the most unpredictable and hard to control of all the elements he had at his disposal.

But of course, that presented the same problems as before, if even more, since he would have to mingle ice with wind.

But it was also the one Erik had in mind from the beginning. The pillars of ice were going to stay there for a while after he created them, likely able to absorb two or three attacks before he had to make them again.

Lightnings produced a lot of heat, after all. The biological supercomputer was not done yet, though.

However, it made the situation harder than he and the blackguards initially assumed. Despite how crazy he was, he was not stupid. He knew those pillars had been thought to counter his brain crystal power.

But even knowing that the pillars would complicate his use of lightning, a confident look remained on his face.

He was not alone. Beside him was Zakir, Dark Tendrils, whose presence alone was enough to bolster his confidence.

They were also surrounded by 200 blackguards; it was impossible for Erik to come out of this situation victorious, and if they stalled them for enough time, the blackguards coming to the entrance were going to reach them.

Volkov raised his voice. "Erik Romano has reached the exit. We're going to make him pay for daring to come to this place!"

A chorus of shouts erupted from the blackguards. They positioned themselves for the imminent fight, weapons drawn and eyes fixed on the prison's doors.

Inside, Erik and Richard stood ready. Erik kept manipulating mana and creating ice pillars. "Break them apart!" Volkov said, and the blackguards started doing just that.

But the sheer number of pillars Erik created was incredible. They filled the whole courtyard

outside.

But as many as the pillars were, there were also many blackguards. Though Erik would not make the pillars easily breakable.

With a last gesture, the prison doors opened, revealing the imposing figures of the blackguards and their leaders waiting outside.

But Erik had one more trick up his sleeve.

Instead of rushing out to face their enemies, Erik told Richard to conjure up a tall stone wall in front of the exit. So that they could at least avoid the frontal assault they were going to

receive.

The heavy stone rose quickly, blocking the blackguards' view.

"What the-?" One of the blackguards said, looking to Volkov for direction.

"Richard Stone... Attack!"
