章節 23: Next day.
The unknown was forced into a blind spot because it was in the middle of the great momentum as Lin Tao used all of his physical strength and all of his energy to dash like a phantom and deliver a kick that looked like a spear.
The shockwave that Lin Tao's kick sent out was caused by internal energy that was released while using his secret Freestyle Taekwondo technique, the Rippling Kick, with more force than the opposing party had anticipated.
Where the outcome of the collision could be fairly easily predicted and the unknown suffered severe damage, but given his initial momentum, it was not also pushed back.
As a result, Lin Tao used one of his legs to kick the sharp spear that was created by the morphing of an unknown body to injure Lin Tao while the enemy was still within the range of his attack.
But he never imagined that Lin Tao would use the enemy's attack as a springboard.
Lin Tao jumped up with high rotation and torque in his body, which were amplified by the inner energy, and a deadly axe-like kick was delivered from above, smashing through other spear that were about to attack him.
The inner energy in that kick ignited the enemy's rippling force, making it burst, and the enemy was knocked to the ground in that instant.
As Lin Tao waited for the appropriate moment but observed that the adversary had been motionless for some time, he finally relaxed. At that moment, he also heard a system notification flashing with an urgent message.
[Spatial Material detected, collect it and create more structure inside the island with more exclusive abilities.]
[Permission (Accepted) / (Denied)]
Lin Tao acknowledged the logic as he studied the strange hologram and noticed that the material that had been dispersed all around had transformed into an orb and been absorbed. Lin Tao observed an additional message that appeared concurrently with those actions.
[Material collected 5 unit]
The system tab's structure column, where even the bare minimum of material was required to construct something, was visible to Lin Tao. It stated that 500 units of material were required.
Eliora POV
This morning, something happened that resulted in Lin Tao and the other two girls going missing. This panicked her, but she soon recovered her composure as she hurried to Li Ai's side, one of the Lin Tao women, and discovered her being harassed by a man who was Ai's friend's husband.
She was able to save her by beating the crap out of that fatty, and when they both went back to her apartment, they discovered it was completely deserted, and there was an odd silence.
"Sister Eliora, this is weird, and the pestering bird from before is not out on the window; I feel something wrong about it."
Eliora finally noticed that there were no fish in the fish tank because Ai seemed to be very perceptive and she was able to spot something amiss.
This was puzzling considering that the water in the tank had not been filled all the way up if a cat had done it.
"As if all living things were sent out, or something less than that, but who would send such things into the matrix if he or she did so?"
Eliora was able to get a general idea of what was going on because she had a specific location in her mind, but the motivation was strange and illogical.
"Eli." Ai hid behind Eliora, looking pretty terrified about the sudden appearance of the man, as she had not even felt or heard someone walking behind her.
Suddenly, she heard her name and discovered an old man standing behind them, which caught Eliora and Ai off guard.
Not to mention that the area behind her was the window area, and she was certain that they were on the fifth floor, making it impossible for anyone to have walked over it.
'He must be similar to big brother Lin, so he is also one of those weird types.'
Ai noticed that another two people had suddenly materialized next to the elderly man and were speaking in his ear when she noticed that the man was frowning.
She cast a wary glance their way.
"Hehe, I suppose master is the one who got away from your isolating dimension trap. Not that it's the best spell your retainer can conjure, but it's embarrassing to see a child who isn't even proficient in basic Esper making a fool of a master Esper."
Eliora grinned and took pleasure in being able to read her elderly man. It's not clear if the man next to him shared Eliora's displeasure, but the fact that Lin Tao and the others had left the area was, in spite of their reluctance, the really infuriating fact.
"Hmm, as expected of the man that my dear daughter has found, but I am just testing him, and after all of this is over, I will send a small gift for him, so I hope my daughter will forgive me."
The old man looked really crafty, but his eyes has a sincere look when it come to the girl standing in front of him, his lovely grand-daughter, that he treasure a lot.
"Okay, but do not make much mess, given this area is actually filling with inner energy and things can go wild if it is fluctuated too much."
The elderly man nodded, acknowledging that he was a specialist as well.
He had no desire to make life more difficult for those who already resided here, but for the purpose of testing the brat in jest, he could think of no better location than the matrix itself.
"Big sister, that means big brother Lin Tao will be fine, right? If that old man is your relative, will he not harm big brother Lin Tao?"
Given that she had heard from Eliora about Lin Tao's disappearance and the fact that she had been concerned about him for quite some time, Ai's eyes lit up.
Eliora patted Little Ai while grinning and saying, "Don't worry little sister, if that old man did not keep his promise, than I will make my move for sure, and you should trust your man a bit more than you do, for he is not ordinary even for our kind and is hard to predict what he is capable of."
Little Ai was a sweet little girl who was innocent and without ulterior motives, and she was like a soothing person to keep by their side.
"Oh, look at that cutie. I must say that this master sure likes to collect exquisite jades by his side. I hope he can let me enjoy that jade on the bed someday."
When something changed inside the room and Eliora released a frosty chi from her, it made Ai feel extremely uneasy in his gaze because the guy's smile had that weird essence to it.
"I say grandfather, if it were not for you, then I could have killed that bastard, but I hope you will tell him to keep his mouth shut."
Eliora was very indifferent to most of the things in this world, but once she takes liking to someone, then she would do and go to length that no one would be able to comprehend.
