Chapter 434 Ikarys is struck by lightning again  

Ikarys was startled; the lightning was so fast that before he could react, he was hit by it.

Lightning covered his entire body, causing him to convulse violently.

"Ack! Ack! Ack!"

From Ikarys's mouth came countless strange sounds as his teeth continuously shook.

Luckily, the lightning wasn't strong; it only made Ikarys twitch a little. But... he looked unpresentable.

His blonde hair was burned, and his white skin was also burned black. His luxurious clothes were also burned in many places, making him look extremely miserable, like a beggar.

Ikarys fell to his knees on the ground. Anyway, he had just been hit by a bolt of lightning. Although it wasn't too strong, it still made him almost lose consciousness.

The Eye of Puzzle said contemptuously: "I haven't finished speaking yet; why are you interrupting? Who are you? Do you think that I don't dare strike you with lightning?

Ikarys was startled and quickly shook his head, not daring to speak anymore. One bolt of lightning was more than enough to scare him.

However, Lathel was different. He felt that the lightning just now was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

'It's very familiar; although I don't know where I've encountered such lightning, it seems to be a rich source of energy to replenish my energy.'

'Hm… I'll just let Viva store a large amount of energy, then use the energy from the lightning to replenish my energy pool.'

'Great.'

Lathel now seemed to have found a solution to replenish his energy pool, so he smiled happily.

He approached the Eye of Puzzle, smiled, and said: "Oy! So, will you give me a riddle? Hurry up; I'm in a hurry."

Lathel's appearance was extremely arrogant, even a little contemptuous.

Arine nervously approached Lathel and pulled his hand: "Didn't you see that the Holy Son was just struck by lightning?" If you say that to him, he will hit you with lightning."

Lathel shivered as he still thought that Arine was a man who was holding his hand.

"You stay away from me for a bit." Lathel quickly withdrew her hand.

Arine frowned. She felt that Lathel seemed to be trying to stay away from her, like she was a disease.

Ikarys then quickly retreated while laughing loudly in his heart: 'Hahahaha... this trash is really stupid. Wait a moment, a lightning bolt, no, it will definitely be ten lightning bolts that will kill him.'

The Eye of Puzzle looked at Lathel; its eyes seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he sighed and said: "Okay, don't rush me. I have been sleeping for thousands of years, and as soon as I woke up, all of you were rushing me."

"Young man, you shouldn't be too hasty when you're so young."

Lathel: "…"

'Oy! Where's the lightning? Or... I'm not arrogant enough, not enough to make him angry.'

Lathel took a deep breath, frowned, and said: "Oy! Have you been sleeping for so long that you're confused? Do you believe I won't punch your eye out?"

"You are wasting my time. If you bring me a treasure that pleases me, I can forgive you."

He crossed his arms as he spoke.

Ikarys was happy at this moment. Pulling Arine back, he said: "Don't stand next to him, or the lightning will hit you later." "You... you let me go." Arine retracted her hand. Ikarys was a bit startled by Arine's strength. He did not think that Arine had such terrible physical strength, despite looking like a loli.

You must know that Ikarys' current level is 40. Even though he is a magician, his physical strength is not weak.

"Are you crazy? If trash like him dares to be so arrogant, he will definitely be struck to death by lightning."

"Okay…" The eye of Puzzle suddenly sighed and said: "I have something quite good to give you."

As soon as it finished speaking from inside its eyes, a ball of lightning flew towards Lathel and floated in mid-air.

"That is called 'Heart of Lightning'; it can replenish a huge amount of energy for you." The Eye of Puzzle explained: "I see that inside your body the main element is lightning; that's why I think this thing is very suitable for you."

"Of course, if you use this to prepare the medicine 'Life of Lightning', its effects will increase many times over."

Lathel: "…"

Ikarys: "…"

Arine: "…"

Dorna: "…"

"Pfff!" Dorothy couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha... that's really funny... no... sorry... I... hahahaha..."

Lathel glanced at Dorothy, then looked back at the Eye of Puzzle, feeling a bit confused. However… anyway, the goal he wanted, he had achieved it.

Although… this was a bit beyond his expectations, that was fine.

Lathel put the 'Heart of Lightning' inside the 'Storage Space', and Ikarys looked at him in astonishment.

"What the hell is going on?" Ikarys said angrily: "Could it be… there is some mystery behind it?"

"Yes, that must be it, or how can he scold Eye of Puzzle without being struck by lightning?"

Ikarys now stood up, angrily walked towards the Eye of Puzzle, and loudly scolded it: "Damn it! I was just a little arrogant just now, and you used lightning to hit me. But when he scolds you like that, you reward him."

"Do you think I'm stupid? If you don't give me an item of greater value today than what you gave that trash, I will…"

BAM!

The Eye of Puzzle immediately rewarded Ikarys with a lightning bolt, angrily saying: "Are you talking to me, you insolent boy. Do you know how many years I have existed?"

"Even if your ancestors saw me, they would have to bow their heads and kneel on the ground, boy."

Ikarys trembled and fell to the ground. The lightning made him spit out a mouthful of fresh blood as it wrecked his body.

He quickly took out a recovery pill and swallowed it. Although he felt much more comfortable and his minor injuries were gradually recovering, he was still in extreme pain.

However, what hurt him the most was the Eye of Puzzle's bias.

What the hell is going on? He clearly remembered that just now, Lathel was more arrogant than him, more impertinent with the Eye of Puzzle than him; why was he the one who was struck by lightning?

"Hahahaha… not good! I… I really will laugh to death… hahahaha…"

Lathel saw Dorothy laughing uncontrollably. He quickly hugged her and said: "Okay, stop laughing. If you laugh anymore, you will actually die from laughter."

Dorothy was startled; her face turned red. But she just pouted and said: "Brother, you…what are you doing?"

"I'm helping you to calm down a bit." Lathel said calmly: "Ah! Don't worry... I'm not interested in a little girl like you either."

Dorothy: ( ╬ ◣ ﹏◢ )

BAM!

"Ah!" Lathel was startled and screamed. He didn't think that Dorothy was so strong that when she stepped on his foot, he thought that his foot bone was broken.

Dorothy pouted, walked away, and said angrily: "I don't need my brother to like me either. Huh!"

She crossed her arms across her chest, her sulky expression both adorable and making Lathel nervous. "Ah! There's one extra person here." The Eye of Puzzle suddenly spoke; it looked at Doran and said: "You shouldn't be here; get out!"

"Heh?!" Doran was startled. Before he could realise what was happening, he immediately disappeared.

Lathel: "??!!"

"Oy! You…"

"Don't worry…" Eye of Puzzle immediately explained: "I just threw him back to the first trial room. After you pass this test, he will also be able to return to the real world."

"If you cannot pass this test… sorry, all of you must die."

Dorothy now pouted and said: "Huh! Brother, don't worry. I will protect you."

"Oy!" Arine shouted angrily: "Look at your height; how can you protect someone when you're that short?"

"Flat chest, what are you talking about?" Dorothy also did not hold back and immediately scolded her.

"You…"

"Enough!" Lathel sighed. He suddenly remembered a saying he once heard on Earth that he felt was accurate.

Two women meeting each other is noisier than a market.

Just like that saying said, Arine and Dorothy were noisier than a market.

"Everyone listen to the question first. If there is any conflict, wait until the end of the genius convention, or until we pass all the challenges, then resolve it."

Hearing that, Lathel approached the Eye of Puzzle. Ikarys also did the same; however, right now he looked extremely miserable.

"Huh!" They both snorted, looking in different directions.

"Good!" The Eye of Puzzle now spoke: "First, the men should step forward, starting with you."

Hearing that, Lathel approached the Eye of Puzzle. Ikarys also did the same; however, right now he looked extremely miserable.

His skin was as black as an African, and his blond hair was also burned black.

Ikarys didn't seem to realise how miserable his current appearance was. On the contrary, he arrogantly looked at Lathel.

Lathel: ( ￣ ￣ |||)

"Oy! Do you want to look in the mirror?"

Hearing Lathel's words, Ikarys angrily shouted: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense; this time I will show you that you are just trash. I will show you the difference between trash and a true genius."

Lathel refused to answer; he knew that the male protagonists were all that arrogant, and he also didn't want to waste his calories refuting Ikarys's meaningless statements.

The eye of Puzzle looked at Lathel, then looked at Ikarys and said: "If either of your answers satisfy me, that person will pass this test."

"First question. What is one plus one?

Lathel: "…"

Everybody: "..."

Ikarys laughed: "Hahahahaha... I thought you were going to ask something very difficult, hahahahaha... Okay, let me answer first."

"One plus one equals two."

"What about you?" Eye of Puzzle glanced at Lathel.

Lathel shrugged and said: "About three."

"Hahahaha… you idiot!" Ikarys laughed loudly: "One plus one equals three; you're trash."

BAM!

Ikarys was once again struck by lightning.
