Underground Base

Walking next to the man, Rick kicked him in the guts. He thought of killing the man, but decided to just cripple him. Rick never thought of himself as a heroic person, nor a good one, however, he really felt a little bad for killing others.

"I will adjust the blaster to the not-fatal mode." Even the weakest Kilo-mode could easily kill low-stage elemental masters of fire and water element with their weak bodies. This happened because all the elemental masters except for the earth element had weak bodies, a water element master could heal themselves, which made them harder to kill, but it was nothing that could not be solved by two shots instead of one. If he really focused, he could separate his energy reserves into a hundred lightning threads with each representing 1%. Together they formed a shiny lightning web radiating with blue light. This was something he could only do because of his energetic eyes and the benefits it gave him.

[Boy! You must leave this place fast! Your mother is not here anymore, it is a trap!] The old voice interrupted his line of thought while his visor showed about fifty sources of heat approaching from all sides.

"F*ck!" He rushed to hide behind a tree. Separating a thread of lightning from the others he infused into his hand blaster. When he saw some of the people he sighed with relief. All of them were not elemental masters, just soldiers with a blue barrier around them.

"Look! He's over there." One of the soldiers spot Rick behind the tree and shot a light green bullet that dodged the brushes as it hit him in the left shoulder.

"Urg!" Right behind he saw a dozen more green bullets flying at him. He pressed the trigger and a blue ray was shot through the trees and five of the soldiers, leaving them unconscious. When another bullet hit him in the neck, Rick stared at the blood flowing out when he lost his senses.

He really didn't want to kill ordinary people, but they were forcing him. In a eruption of rage, Rick was entirely controlled by his instincts and with the speed his thoughts were accelerated by the burst he received from the lightning he could see all the bullets coming at him in slow motion. Putting the blaster down he grabbed his sword as it lit with blue light.

Shing! Shing! Shing! The sword with a radiant blue blade cut most of the bullets in half as his arms and legs bleed from other injuries. Suddenly he felt the impact of a mountain in his back throwing him several dozen meters away. Just like that his vision blurred and he fell on the ground.

Opening his eyes a couple hours later, he saw himself in a dark room, tied to a chair with chains all over his body. The obelisk could not be seen on his wrist while the immortal armor bracelet was just there because no one could remove it.

It was when he heard the sound of a door opening and an elegant lady walked in. She wore a simple white dress with the symbol of the a huge claw burning in fire. He didn't need to think much to see this lady in front of him was a believer of the fire god.

The elegant lady sat in front of him. "Who are you?"

[Boy, this is really good. Your mother is a few meters away from here. For now cooperate with them, if I lend some of my power you can easily escape with her.]

He didn't wish to involve with those people, but when he heard the old voice he decided to comply. "I'm Rick Lawson, a member of the divine guardians and part of the project new moon, a project to create new elements for elemental masters."His eyes lit with lightning when he spoke this.

The lady frowned, she was not familiar with this 'project new moon" even when she was infiltrated in Eden's high council. 'Could this project new moon is something from those old ghosts in the council, no. I can't be sure if this boy is telling the truth.' However, she had just seen the records of the battle outside the base, and he really was a unique lightning element master.

In the next hours, Rick told her about how he was taken in secret by some people who did experiments on him until he awoke his abilities. Soon, a lot of people had gathered in the room to see what he had to say before they left many hours later to sleep while the elegant lady continued there to hear more about "top secret" information.

"It is not just that, other than the six divines, the guardians have many more secrets like the bat-man. A half man, half bat trained in the art of the stealth, he is the best assassin we have. He's always wearing black while covering his face with a mask."

"In in the laboratory I met a nice person named Bruce, they always like to experiment the infusion of special treatments on him when one day he suddenly transformed into a huge green monster, he has killed a lot of the researchers before being put back in a prison."

[Now!] The moment he heard the voice, blue radiance rushed forth as he broke the chains and moved like a lightning bolt appeared at her back. When the elegant lady noticed the sudden change it is too late, her body lit with a fiery red light that burned the skin off Rick's hand as he smashed her head on the wall before dropping her unconscious body
