Chapter 14 - Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong

Vivianne looked at me with a look that seemed like she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Do you want to commit suicide? You don't have any special equipment or spells that can protect you from getting electrocuted. I need to remind you that the electricity that fills this room is high-voltage electricity. The closer you are to Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong, the higher the voltage of the electricity. What will you do to stop it?"

At time like this, I have to act calm and cool. I smiled at Vivianne and said, "I have some ideas. Now, all I need is your agreement to my offer."

There was a pause for a few seconds before Vivianne finally nodded in agreement. Vivianne thought that even though she could stop Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong's rampage, she needed some preparation to prevent greater losses. On the other hand, if Vivianne accept my offer, she could see my abilities up close and analyze them.

Vivianne was a girl who had a very high curiosity. That was why she accepted my offer without needing a long thought process. Besides, if I failed, she could still fix the situation. That was her current train of thought.

"Okay, but if you fail then this agreement is void. Even you have to pay me for saving your life later."

"Fair enough." I said while letting out a little laugh.

After the agreement was made, I started to recite some spells to increase my physical strength and endurance.

"Maximize Strength – Power-up!"

"Let my mana be my armor – Coating!"

Controlling the mana inside my body, I cover my entire body with a thin membrane called mana. Although thin, the mana that functions as armor is much stronger and tougher than a real physical armor.

Besides Coating is a unique spell. Its incantation is not only limited to one but various, all depends on the function of its use.

Looking at Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong in the distance, I started calculating how long it would take me to complete everything perfectly. However, in the process of calculating, I got a crazy idea.

My initial intention was to quickly defeat the giant robot in front of me and complete the transaction with Vivianne before returning to the Hall of Combat to study the next stage of awakening the elements in my body.

Now I changed my mind. Imagining electricity is not easy. Even though I know what its abstract form is, but I don't know what the real power of electricity is.

Right now, there is someone in front of me who can emit high-voltage electricity. Wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't use it?

In front of the gazes of everyone gathered around the test field, I slowly walked towards the center of the field where Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong was.

My goal this time is only one. To awaken the electric elements in my body by utilizing all the electric currents that are currently striking my body.

I did the next stage of training, which was to imagine the flow of electricity inside my body. Electricity from outside struck my body, and thanks to that, I got a perfect image of all the information about electricity. Next, I channeled the mana inside my body to create the same flow of electricity. External stimulation helped me awaken elements that had an affinity with my body.

Because I needed to concentrate on feeling and imagining each electric current, I closed my eyes and spread my arms, even though I was standing face to face with Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong.

I didn't realize the looks people were giving me when I acted like that.

I was so focused that my five senses seemed to be dead. Right now, I feel like the world is so quiet and peaceful.

"Is he crazy? Why is he closing his eyes and spreading his arms like that?"

"Am I the only one who feels like he's enjoying every second of the moment? Look at how his eyes are tightly closed in front of Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong!"

"Rather than calling it enjoying, I would rather believe that he is dead already."

Lichtalia and Vivianne looked at each other in confusion. At first glance, its looked like I was already dead, but they realized that they could feel a strong flow of mana from within my body.

That powerful mana flow was none other than the process of the awakening of the electric element within my body.

When the strong flow of mana became calmer and more stable, that was when I knew that I had successfully controlled the mana and awakened the electric element within my body.

Taking a deep breath, I regained my senses and slowly lowered my hands and opened my eyes.

If the robot had emotions, it would probably be looking at me in shock right now because the high-voltage electricity it kept emitting seemed to not affect me.

I let out a sincere smile. Thanks to the robot named Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong in front of me, I managed to awaken the electric element in my body.

But my smile might have been a mockery in its eyes. Letting out a loud sound, Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong swung its iron fist toward my much smaller body.

Its attack gave me the opportunity to test out the abilities I had just learned for myself.

Seconds before its fist reached my body, I had already dodged and reappeared above its head.

I didn't even use acceleration spell to increase my speed and purely used my physical strength which was strengthened by the electric element.

"I thank you because thanks to you, I was able to awaken the electric element within my body. But I was forced to stop you because otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy the sword I wanted from your creator, Vivianne. I hope this fist of mine can calm your soul. That is if you have one."

Normally, the core of a robot is in the head or chest, but I could feel that the core of Mega Thunder Super Metal Armstrong was in its stomach area. I could tell because I could feel every electric current coming from it centered in its stomach area.

Moving as fast as lightning, I was right in front of its stomach and at a very close distance. Clenching my fist that was coated with two different spells plus the electric element flowing from inside my body, I shouted while punching its stomach until the core inside its stomach shattered into pieces.

"Lightning Plasma!"
