2177 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 18

Although the hammer couldn’t help Doomsday recover its balance, it was much more lethal.

Diana didn’t dare use her longsword to clash head-on, in case it was caught up in those bone spurs, and she could only block with her divine shield.

After stopping some of Diana’s attacks, Doomsday, who had been at a disadvantage, gradually turned the situation around.

Suddenly, Luke charged out of the dust and landed next to Diana, who had been sent flying again. He looked to the side.

Diana grabbed the longsword that had fallen next to her and got up. She said angrily, “This is the only sword I have.” She was about to pick up the round shield that had dropped further away.

Luke, however, pointed at the small of her back. “Is this rope sturdy?”

Diana was surprised, but still replied, “It’s enough to tie that monster up for a while.”

She wasn’t sure how long the Lasso of Truth could withstand Doomsday’s violence. If she forcibly endured and the lasso was damaged, her heart would ache.

Luke decisively stretched out his hand. “Let me use it.”

The battle goddess readily grabbed the coil of rope and tossed it to him.

Luke caught it.

Diana tilted her head at Doomsday. “Attack together?”

Luke said, “Okay; you go first, and I’ll be backup.”

Luke said it like two words, “back up,” and Diana rolled her eyes. “Then your performance right now isn’t good enough.”

Luke chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”

He threw out the Lasso of Truth and used it to bring the round shield back to Diana.

Diana’s eyes lit up. “It seems you’re quite capable. Then, follow me.”

With that, she let out another yell and took Superman’s spot after the latter was sent flying.

Luke played with the rope in his hand and familiarized himself with the new weapon.

As for using it? Hehe, one of the Elementary abilities he had obtained at the very beginning was Roping

A lasso? That was just the most proper way to use it.

Sensing the divine power in the lasso in his hand, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

However, while Old Master Luke had a good plan. Doomsday wasn’t a stupid pig who would wait to be slaughtered.

It almost immediately noticed Luke, who approached it with the lasso in his hand, and fired a heat beam without hesitation.

Luke didn’t put on an act this time, and decisively avoided it.

Doomsday wanted to turn its head and do a sweep with the heat beam, but Superman, who had flown back, immediately used his fists to tell the monster, “Dream on.”

Luke seized the opportunity to quickly approach the heart of the battle.

Doomsday felt a little threatened. Luke had cut off half of its leg just now.

But Superman had also heard the conversation between Diana and Luke.

He and Diana did their best to suppress Doomsday.

Even if he didn’t know how to deal with Doomsday, he had to create an opportunity for Luke first.

Sensing danger, Doomsday resisted even more fiercely.

Two small people and one large monster fought until the ground cracked and rocks and trees were sent flying.

It was a good thing that Superman and the battle goddess had gotten the upper hand in the previous clash and had deliberately sent Doomsday to the outskirts of Gotham. Otherwise, who knew how many civilians could have died.

When Superman grabbed hold of Doomsday’s fist, and Diana pierced its calf, Luke finally lunged forward.

The Lasso of Truth glowed bright golden, like a whip of light.

A fierce and cunning light flashed in Doomsday’s eyes. It had been wary of Luke, and now grabbed the lasso and pulled.

Luke’s body immediately turned into an indistinct shadow as he ‘fell’ toward Doomsday.

The hand which Doomsday had grabbed the lasso with had already curled into a fist the size of a water pot as it punched at Luke.

Unexpectedly, Luke, who looked like he was being pulled closer, twisted in the air, as if he had foreseen it.

Even Superman and Diana couldn’t describe the exact situation.

At that moment, Luke didn’t look human at all, but more like… a noodle that had come alive?

Moving bizarrely, the ‘noodle spirit’ stuck to Doomsday’s back.

Sensing that something wasn’t right, Doomsday roared and released another AOE skill — the orange energy storm surged out again.

But since it had been activated in a hurry, it didn’t contain as much energy as before.

Luke, who was already prepared, activated his Intermediate Evolution ability and sucked in the energy storm, which instantly tasted delicious — hm, it was a little like spicy beef with a nuclear flavor that burned a little.

He diligently played the role of a drainpipe and sped up the process of releasing this violent energy from his body.

Ten seconds after releasing this energy storm, Doomsday was stunned to see that the golden rope had silently crossed over his chest.

What was even more terrifying was that as soon as it struggled, it felt more of its joints being restrained by the rope, which hindered its movements.

Both Superman and Diana’s eyes lit up.

As bystanders, they had clearly witnessed Luke’s operation.

Two slender arms that could extend at will had wrapped around Doomsday’s chest bit by bit.

The two arms were too small compared with Doomsday, and they moved close to its skin, so it didn’t notice them immediately.

Now that Doomsday was restrained, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Superman was about to exert more strength, when Luke raised his grayish-black palm behind Doomsday. A few words lit up on the surface of his black armor — Superman, move.

Not only that, one of the fingers on the armor even turned into an arrow which pointed to the side.

Superman was only stunned for 0.000001 seconds before he reacted and moved… Fine, he had been sent flying by Doomsday’s fist.

At the same time, Luke suddenly activated 100% Strength, and his entire body was now only one size smaller than Doomsday’s. He used his hands and feet to activate the ultimate skill he had never used in a real battle: Roping Skill – Extreme Hell Bind.

The Lasso of Truth instantly stretched out between his hands and feet to tie Doomsday up like a dumpling.

When clean and honest Superman saw this, he just felt that he had seen similar bindings in a certain country before.

Diana, who had lived in Metropolis for a long time, widened her eyes. These knots… Why did it look like the ‘specialty’ of some people with a certain unique hobby?

If Luke knew what she was thinking, he would’ve nodded. Elementary Roping had indeed been the original owner’s only specialty.

It was just that the original owner would never have the chance to use the Lasso of Truth, nor have the strength to use it on a monster like Doomsday.

While completing this ultimate skill, Luke also tied down the powerful Doomsday.

This would have been impossible to accomplish without Director Selina’s Evolution Ability which specialized in countering energy attacks, Muscle Expansion and Taffy to boost his body’s endurance, and a lot of nanomaterial to convert into insulation.
