Chapter 269 Physics Lesson
.
Needless to say, Ethan's response did not please the demons at all, especially the one with a wolf like head, who immediately seemed to grow enraged as he reacted:
"Certainly, courage is not something you're lacking, is it?
But it seems you've overestimated yourself a bit too much. Do you really think that little power you've acquired will save you from us?" said the wolf like demon, ready to make a move.
Clearly, the news about their race being eradicated had not pleased any of them, especially since they never expected something like this to happen in the first place.
They had gone into this dormant state only after confirming that there was no being capable of posing an actual threat to them, leaving the task of conquering this plane to their subordinates, led by Mo Yan.
And yet, who would have thought that when they finally woke up, they would find themselves in a scene like this?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was hard for them to believe that the weak beings of this plane could have triumphed over their race, and yet one of these beings had done so, and that being was right in front of them now.
Just as the wolf demon was ready to charge at Ethan, who still gazed at him with an indifferent expression, he was stopped by their leader, who cast a sharp glance at him before saying:
"If you really want to attack, I won't stop you, but let me tell you, that human is stronger than all of you," said the leader.
Then he turned his gaze toward Ethan and said:
"For a mere human, you certainly have some abilities, but your decision not to leave immediately after ascending to the spiritual realm and instead remain here and cause trouble for us was not exactly the wisest move," he said.
Hearing the demon's words, Ethan couldn't help but chuckle a little as he said:
"Oh? And why is that?" he said, clearly not taking the demon's words too seriously.
Although he seemed calm and indifferent, he never let his guard down.
He might have been slightly provocative now, but it was more a way to probe the other side, and he had to admit that compared to his previous encounters, this one was at least leading somewhere.
He was still vigilant toward them, not because there were four spiritual realm entities, but because his Seven Sages Amphora was still reacting, and that was a cause for concern for him.
He didn't know if this reaction from the amphora would lead to something good or bad, so he had to be careful.
The demon, seeing the other side still calm in front of them, said nothing and gave the signal to his subordinates to attack.
Ethan could tell that the other side didn't seem in the mood to talk, and from what he could see, it seemed that even if the leader had stopped his subordinate before, he was still underestimating him a bit.
Did he really think that if the three of them joined forces, they would have the upper hand against him?
No, they couldn't, and the ensuing battle proved it.
The wolf demon, who seemed to be the most impatient, wasted no time the moment he saw his leader give the go ahead and immediately lunged at Ethan, appearing in an instant behind him with his arm raised and claws ready to claim the other side's head.
Ethan, seeing this, made no move and stayed in his place, but just as the other side launched its claw toward him, a gelatinous substance appeared in the middle, stopping the attack from the three eyed werewolf like demon.
"What-"
But before the other side could even wonder what it was, the gelatinous substance, which had just absorbed the impact of the blow, lit up as its core, which had been deformed backward, shot forward, bouncing against the claw that had just struck it.
The wolf-like demon, who a moment ago had attempted to attack, suddenly found the arm he had attacked with missing.
"ARGH!"
He howled loudly as he immediately distanced himself from the other side while turning his head toward his missing arm. There, just ahead, he saw a mix of flesh, bone, and blood quickly floating away in the water.
'What the hell was that?' he thought as he suddenly felt fear permeate his entire body.
The other two demons, who had also acted after the wolf demon, saw this scene and immediately became alert, halting their attacks for a moment.
They didn't know what had just happened.
A moment ago, their companion's attack had been stopped by some strange substance, and the next moment, their companion had lost an arm.
All of this had happened in a matter of milliseconds, so fast that they couldn't understand how the other side had counterattacked while still remaining in the same position as before.
In fact, he hadn't even shifted his gaze from them, as if he hadn't even noticed what had just happened.
Ethan, seeing the confusion of the two demons, who had stopped their actions, glanced to the side where the gelatinous, transparent substance was floating and said:
"Oh, this? Don't be afraid of it. It's just the product of a small experiment I conducted some time ago," he said, as if that explained everything.
Clearly, the demons didn't give a second thought to his words, because the so-called thing they weren't supposed to fear had just destroyed the arm of a spiritual realm entity.
There was no way they wouldn't be on guard against that thing.
Ethan, seeing them, couldn't help but shake his head, but it's not like he blamed them or anything.
When he created some techniques based on his newfound understanding of the laws of nature, this understanding particularly helped him in his manipulation of the elements.
Thanks to his special physique, he had a certain affinity with all elements, but to enhance this affinity, simply raising his cultivation level wasn't enough. He needed to deepen his understanding of the natural laws related to these elements.
So, he used this little bit of new understanding he gained to create some combat techniques and other things, and this was one of the products of that.
He utilized his water element combined with the properties of the earth element to create this gelatinous substance.
The idea came to him after he remembered the slimes from his previous world, not the slimes seen on TV, in anime, and so on, but rather natural slimes.
The so called non Newtonian fluids.
