Chapter 511: The Countdown(7)

The raging wind blades didn’t affect the seven-layered shield around Aakesh, so he ignored the attacks and took a step forward.

Training for the past 160 years with restrictions created slight resistance for Aakesh.

Aakesh could now fly up to a mile in the air and could float for more than ten seconds.

Lily wasn’t very high in the sky since the battle arena had limits in the sky too, and that was 500 meters.

Aakesh disappeared from the battle arena and appeared right behind Autumn.

Before Aakesh could even attack Autumn, Aakesh found himself back on the ground.

Aakesh didn’t have to think much about the reason behind this since he was aware that Autumn had turned the time back to the time when he was on the ground.

The next moment, thunders appeared in the sky as they bombarded Aakesh.

The Counter Shield around Aakesh finally started feeling the pressure of the combined attacks from the raging wind blades and the purple thunder.

The shield would be able to handle the combined attacks for a few seconds, which was more than enough time for Aakesh, or so Aakesh thought.

The next moment, the land below him turned into a marsh, and before Aakesh could move away, the land turned hard, binding him to a spot.

Aakesh shook his head disappointedly since he had gotten caught by the tactic he had used several times in the battle. But unlike the time when Aakesh was the conspirator and people weren’t able to move, in this case, Aakesh had more than enough strength to move away.

The land that had bound Aakesh to a spot suddenly started cracking as if there was an unimaginable weight pressuring it.

“BOOM!”

The next moment, an explosion happened as the ground exploded, resulting in a small cloud filled with dust rising in the air.

Aakesh had somewhat expected what was to come next as the moment he attempted to charge at Autumn in the air, he found himself back bound to the dry land.

Fortunately for Aakesh, Autumn couldn’t use the skill unlimitedly since the amount of energy it took was more than sufficient for her to release thousands of other more destructive attacks. And Autumn was bound by the rule of using only the amount of energy she would have at this level, not what she had in her actual cultivation.

The next moment, seeds started sprouting out of the land as they began tightening the grip on the shield Aakesh’s leg, attempting to crush not only the shield but also his legs into a blood cloud. Not long after, metallic shards appeared as they combined with the already purple thunder attacking Aakesh.

The scene of several types of attacks attacking Aakesh bound to a single spot looked spectacular as if it was a painting.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

The shield around Aakesh finally started giving up to the pressure of so many combined attacks, but before they could fall, Aakesh reinforced it.

The next moment, a ten-layered shield appeared around Aakesh, and it seemed unaffected by the number of attacks aimed at it.

Autumn could turn the time back another two or three times, so Aakesh decided to crush her attacks first.

The shield spread around Aakesh was the Counter Shield, and it had the ability to reflect the attack several times higher than it received.

The first prey of the counter became the trees attempting to crush the shield and Aakesh’s leg.

Aakesh aimed the counter of the raging blades at the trees, resulting in the first getting cut into pieces and then burning into ashes.

Autumn, unfazed by the counter, increased the assault of the skills. The purple thunder grew several-fold, and with it, the number of metallic conductors also grew, resulting in the bombardment of sharp random-shaped objects filled with thunder.

The wind blades grew bigger and sharper while the number of fire pillars increased. The number of seeds sprouting on the ground increased several times, and with it, the pressure on the shield also grew.

“Screech!”

The next moment, Autumn opened her mouth, and a screech intense enough to put cracks on the shield rang in the area.

Aakesh knew the shield couldn’t handle the screech for long, so he aimed the counter of the shield at the sharp random-shaped metals filled with thunder and the purple thunder in the sky.

The destruction caused by the screech finally presented itself to the world as the metal shards filled with the purple thunder, and the thunder in the sky disintegrated into nothingness in no time.

Using the screech, Aakesh entirely destroyed the combined attack of the metal and thunder, giving some leeway to the shield.

“Damn it!” The next moment, Aakesh cursed as he found himself in the sky, while the screech counter he had released a moment earlier was now coming toward him, aiming to destroy him just like it did the metal and thunder.

Autumn, this time, turned the time back when Aakesh had released the counter and used the skill related to the element Ether to swap Aakesh with the thunder, so Aakesh would be the one to face the attack.

(A/N: I follow the Hindu five elements, and Ether is one of them, which refers to the sky(Aakash).)

Aakesh activated the full-powered ‘Counter Shield’ as a seventeen-layered shield appeared around him and took the attack.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

The cracking sounds rang in the area as the shield clashed with the screeching sound.

“BOOM!”

The next moment, a loud blast echoed in the area as suddenly a dark bomb the size of Aakesh appeared behind Aakesh and exploded.

As a result, Aakesh got thrown backward with his shield disintegrating.

“Thud!”

“Whoosh!”

Aakesh comfortably landed on the ground, and just when his feet touched the ground, he used the force to push himself upward, which was against the force, but Aakesh, this time, used his full strength, overpowering the force.

“Crash!”

Autumn couldn’t turn the time back in time as Aakesh appeared in front of her and punched her. His hands were glowing red as it was one of the skills he had learned from Katrina.

Autumn got thrown backward, and red fire had caught on the area where Aakesh had punched.

Autumn activated Epochal Water to douse the fire, but before it could work, Aakesh again appeared in front of her with an almond-sized dark energy ball in his hands.
