Chapter 2175 - 2175 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 16
When it landed over 100 meters away, it roared, and orange energy arced around its body and burst out once again to crush the four of them.
In the front of their diamond formation, Diana simply raised her round shield, while on the right, Superman raised his hands slightly to protect his face.
Luke, who was at the back, simply hid behind the battle goddess and took out his gigantic shield once more. This way, he only needed to withstand a small portion of the energy.
Master Wayne, on the other hand, was frustrated. Unlike Luke’s armor, which had a super energy source like the arc reactor, his armor couldn’t release a shield.
Thus, he could only lie down in a pit on the side and stick close to the ground.
Luke turned his head and was about to tell Master Wayne to hide behind his shield, but could only stop when he saw how quickly the man had already reacted.
The violent energy instantly swept over the three of them and the pit, throwing a mix of dirt, building debris and abandoned metal parts at them.
After more than ten seconds, the energy storm finally ended.
Diana, Superman and Luke’s feet plowed shallow trenches ten meters long.
They could withstand the energy storm, but the ground under their feet couldn’t, and the group was pushed back.
There wasn’t even any dust on Superman’s face.
Luke’s shield shrunk to a small round-sized shield on his forearm, and he was only a little dusty.
Master Wayne… was coughing in the pit. He was full of energy and was fine. At most, he had just eaten some dust.
Diana’s round shield glowed with a faint red light.
As she lowered the shield, the red light on it gradually faded, and the energy storm blew up her long black hair on both sides of her face.
Similarly, there was only a bit of dust on Diana.
As for how her legs were protected, Luke had personally witnessed the answer for himself: divine power.
When she slammed her silver bracers together, she could also trigger a focused attack.
Her shield also had this AOE defense attribute.
This effect was similar to Luke’s energy shield, which was much weaker, but it was enough to withstand an AOE energy attack.
So, from what Luke could see, the battle goddess’s long legs were still as clean and smooth as ever.
But before he could take a few more glances, the muscles on Diana’s legs suddenly tensed up and she jumped.
She let out another yell as she raised the longsword in her right hand and slashed at Doomsday.
Doomsday also jumped up and threw a punch.
Diana’s longsword slashed its fist at an angle, before she was sent flying.
A long wound appeared on Doomsday’s fist, which glowed orange.
The wound quickly healed, but the orange light continued to flash.
Superman seized the opportunity to draw close and punch it in the head, causing it to sink into the ground.
Before he could hit Doomsday a second time, he was slapped away by a clawed hand.
Luke, on the other hand, appeared behind it and slashed at its legs with two 70-centimeter-long knives.
Doomsday cried out in pain and swung its claws again.
Superman couldn’t dodge the attack, and neither could Luke. He only had time to bend his body inside the armor.
Creak! Duang!
The ear-piercing sound of the nanosuit cracking and the heavy blow rang out almost at the same time. Following in the footsteps of the two tanks, Luke rolled hundreds of meters over the ground.
Thankfully, Diana returned in time. She yelled to distract Doomsday, and slashed its calf with the longsword.
At the same time, she raised her round shield to block its counterattack.
Superman flew back and smashed Doomsday into the ground. With a rumble, a cloud of dust more than ten meters tall was kicked up.
Luke spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed inwardly.
The Kryptonian gene was really too strong.
There were no weaknesses in energy absorption, recovery ability, strength, reaction speed and combat awareness.
Luke was someone who could roam the universe back home with his strength, but couldn’t help but puke blood after running into this Kryptonian monster.
But this was completely within his expectations.
Not far away, Doomsday was fighting Superman and the battle goddess at the same time without falling to a disadvantage.
As long as a person didn’t run into a mysterious bigshot like the Ancient One, they should count themself lucky that they weren’t killed in one punch by Doomsday.
Besides, Luke had only spat out a little blood.
The claws seemed to have cut through half of his body, but most of it was actually nanomaterial, and only a small portion was muscle.
By the time he got up, his minor injuries had already healed.
Not enough! Luke quickly calculated and came to a conclusion: The data from this combat test wasn’t enough!
He had yet to discover any weaknesses, not even a minor one to restrict Doomsday slightly.
The only drawback was that this guy seemed very violent.
For Doomsday, it was like a ‘berserk’ skill which made him stronger and faster.
Unless damage was dealt, this berserk mode would completely turn into pressure on the opponent and a huge advantage for Doomsday.
The good news was that Luke’s side was as tough as Doomsday.
...
At this point, Superman’s hair was finally ruffled, and that was all.
Luke had plenty of time to complete the combat test.
Thinking that, he approached the battlefield once more.
At that moment, the battle between two ‘gods’ and one monster had already heated up.
If an ordinary person were here, they wouldn’t be able to follow the movements of the three figures, and would only see a series of explosions in the air and blurry afterimages.
Ding!
There was a crisp metallic sound, and Luke’s eyes lit up. He suddenly jumped up and grabbed the spinning longsword that had just been sent flying by Doomsday from Diana’s hand.
The muscles on his arm bulged as he grabbed hold of the hilt.
The armor’s thrusters were fully activated, exerting downward force on his body.
In less than a second, he crashed into the ground and was sent flying dozens of meters before the huge inertia on the longsword disappeared.
Power outburst: 100%.
...
His body swelled up rapidly as he charged out of the dust cloud. He gripped the longsword that suddenly felt thin and slashed at Doomsday.
Doomsday, who was tussling with Superman, was very vigilant. Its eyes glowed red, and a heat beam swept over.
Luke moved slightly to the side, but it appeared as if he had underestimated the speed of the heat beam. Half of his body turned red, as if it was about to melt.
Superman seized the opportunity to kick the big head hard.
D*mn! Superman actually knew how to use a sweep kick? Even with half his armor melting, Luke was stupefied.
He had never seen Superman use ‘leg techniques’ in the comics, let alone the movies.
