Chapter 278 - THE GREAT MEETING 04 (1/2)

A streak of hot golden light splits the sky and thunderstorm ravages the nations as tornadoes, and the winds seems to go crazy.

The winds is devouring anything on its path as the seas around Abidjan churns and waves erratically, crashing upon the coast and ports with a mighty force, destroying all the boats and prost around it coast.

It is all because of that one single bolt of lightning shooting out from Oreki finger.

But Void, the young man that has a target on his back by many organization and factions in the world look at all of this phenomenon with apparent boredness.

It was like nothing in the world could faze him. Standing there, as the storms behind him and the winds whippings him, he radiates emptiness

And what is even more terrifying is that none of the winds, or thunder and even the rain drops falls onto him.

It was like anything that comes near him becomes Void. Void chuckles a bit and then he shouted to Oreki

'You know that won't work on me, Thunder Monarch' Void said smiling mischievously. Oreki look at that young boy and smirks.

'You know you are just an arrogant little boy that does not know the immensity of heaven and Earth. You fancy yourself a powerful reclusive expert. Truth is you fear to be compared to the great heroes on Earth. No one would acknowledge a selfish, self-serving person like you. Not even the Leagues of Freedom would accept you even amongst their eccentric members. Like Rosulka, you just wantnothing but to see the world burn'

Void eyes sharpened.

'Hmph' he scoffed.

Oreki furrowed his eyebrows as he review what he knows about this young man in his mind.

Codename: Void.

He is one of the mysterious reclusive experts that the World government and the Republic have been hunting for the past few years.

The World Government and the Republic have a list of reclusive experts that they tracked. They don't want another Death Monarch to appear.

While they are still at the developing stages either the Republic or the World Government would try to snatch them up by offering them with benefits or titles.

But some experts really hated being under someone else powers and they would decline.

For those people, the World Governmental and the Republic both survey them using their intelligence agency.

The Company and the Syndicate is also hunting for Void. For the World Government it is because Void attacked the Secret Sector operatives in one encounter.

For the Republic it is because he sabotages an extraction of their personnel from the hands of a rival warlord in Benin.

The Syndicate on the other hand had one of their Dark Auction in the underbelly of Paraguay being robbed by Void.

Oreki don't know if the feared Sasha of the Nightingale leader of the Shadow Guards of Pandemonium knew of Void or she knew and decided to not do anything.

It doesn't seem Void did anything to harm the interest of Pandemonium.

Void is pretty secretive.

No one knows where his base is and what his objective is.

His face could be deduced by using face reconstructing analysis but in this new world changing faces is as easy as changing clothes.

Oreki should know. Of all people, the many times he had to deal with the Trickster is probably trumps any other organizations.

After the initial clashes amidst the heavy rain and thundering lightning Oreki knows that trying to defeat Void with one finger isn't possible.

After all he is not here with his True Body.

Even if he is….he is not sure he could beat this young man easily.

Then knowing this won't work Oreki dashed forward

HYARGH!

BOOM!

The shockwaves spreads out as they collided against each other, ,making the space around them to be devoid of water falling as the rain drops were electrified and condenses into gas.

'This is what I am talking about, Thunder Monarch. Hahaha' Void was laughing

And they begin fighting merely by using physical prowess.

Thunder is one of the most powerful elements and could be used to destroy.

The dark spheres that slowly multiply near Void is quickly being shot down by One Finger Lightning Shot.

It is a technique Oreki developed when he was studying to master the Nine Thunder body Refinement method.

They clashed with each other and Void punches toward Oreki face. Oreki dodges to the left as he punches toward Void, cracking the space around them

'Hahaha' Void laughed as he flicks one of his fingers creating a mini black rip as the force of Oreki punch was neutralized

That force however causes a small mountain in Lesoto to crack. That fore of Oreki might was transported a hundreds of kilometers away into a different nation.

Oreki clicks his tongue as his eyes grew determined

Oreki opens his eyes wide and thunderous sound exploded from his movement of even moving his fingers.

Thunder energy fills the entire sky as a small bolt of thunder shoot out from his eyes threatening to burn Void into a cinder.

He smirks

Void only waves his hand as that lightning bolt was neutralized.

Oreki smiles

This was Oreki objective as he movies with a fast speed akin of lightning and appears just a few inches from Void.

'Take this!' he releases his punch back by his physical prowess. The wind around him were electrified and turns into an ionic wind.

Since Void just use his Void power to deconstruct Oreki lightning he had not enough time to produce another attack to neutralize Oreki punch

Not to mention Oreki now slowly understanding what Void power does to people.

BOOM

The punch connected as Void was thrown back to the ground causing the entire area where he falls down to district and started to dematerialize.

'Heh' Oreki scoffed as he dashed forward, his entire body exploding with golden lightning as the sound of thunders roars behind him.

The moment his feet kick the ground to dash forward, the ground exploded into bits each one were filled with lightning essence.

Oreki did not relent and he would not give Void a chance to get up as he rushed but it was then he realize that his body is slowly disintegrating even as he dashed forward

Then he realizes it. He was just a few inches from Void but he couldn't take another step forward as his face fell down onto the wet muddy ground

His legs have disintegrated

He looks up at Void from his vantage point and shows a bitter smile

'When did you notice it?' Oreki ask

'From the very beginning' Oreki laughed a little. For other people that could hear their conversation they might be confused.

What did Oreki means by telling that Void notices something? What did Void notice and why is it important?

Then gritting his teeth, Oreki look at Void and said

'You win this time Void. If you dare, you wait here until my true body is finished with my matters. We'll see whether you will win once again.'

Void only smirks and then he chuckles

'Oreki…you and the World Government has never been known to play fair. I have no intention to become a fool by believing your words. Goodbye. See you later' he said before he runs off from the slowly destabilized city.
