Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 29: Harvest Festival III



The hag's writhing fingers reach out towards Luke, eager to catch him in her grip as her raucous laughter mingles with the sound of the wind.

'Stop!' thought Luke, raising his hand. The hag's four sharp-nailed fingers remained mere inches from Luke's face.

This hag's speed was no joke. He never thought her physical attributes would be enhanced as well.

His immobilization training had paid off. However, he noticed the hag squirming. He couldn't last even about ten seconds. The hag's strength was far greater than Enid's.

Knowing that he could not restrain her for long, Luke using his telekinetic strength to the fullest threw the hag away from him. She seemed to have been hit by an invisible gust of wind.

The hag propelled by Luke's telekinesis shot off at a great speed until she crashed hard into a tree. A roar was heard in the place, the branches shook, and many leaves fell from the impact. 'That should do it or so I think,' Luke thought with sweat on his forehead. He used all his telekinetic forces to send her flying at incredible speed. She should have a lot of broken bones. A normie would be half-dead at best.

It was the first time he used a deadly attack against an enemy. He had no regrets. He was saved by seconds. Otherwise, the hag's sharp nails would have stabbed him in the face. How strong would that crazy hag be? Most likely his head would have been pierced by the strength the hag demonstrated.

On the other hand, to successfully immobilize her he had to use two focuses. His gaze and his hand. It was a wise choice. If he had used his gaze, it would not have been as efficient.

"She's dead, isn't she?" asked Xavier hopefully. The hag's aura was suffocating and intimidating. He couldn't move from his spot, though he couldn't have reacted to the attack either if he had been the target.

Before Luke could respond, the hag's body began to slowly shift and rise. The sound of bones popping into place was heard. Her spine seemed broken, but she settled until she was completely straightened.

'What the hell is that recovery?' Luke thought with a grimace.

"I shouldn't have said anything..." muttered Xavier, pulling a notebook out of one of the inside pockets of his jacket. He couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Luckily, he always carried his sketchbook with his pencil.

The hag looked at Luke with more hatred than before and went on the attack again. Luke would attack in the same way until the hag no longer stood up. That was his simple strategy.

He couldn't take out a tree and crush the hag. He still couldn't lift trees that heavy. These trees range in height from 15 to 30 meters. The lightest ones must weigh about 400kg or so, a little more or a little less. He is far from being able to lift that with his 180kg. He would have to have uncontrolled emotions or be on the verge of death to try.

The hag lunged at incredible speed, and it looked like she would attempt the same attack, but she didn't. Halfway through she extended her arm.

Her arm was contorted and distorted, twisting in a grotesque metamorphosis. What had once been a slightly misshapen human limb had now transformed into a writhing, slimy tentacle. The tentacle lunged toward Luke with surprising speed. Its range was greater which caught Luke off guard, and he was unable to send the hag flying as before.

The horrible tentacle wrapped itself around his arm. The force was incredible for every second it seemed like more force wrapped around it.

Before Luke could think of a way to break free of the grip, the hag sent him flying into the same tree that Luke had sent her flying.

He flew and crashed into the tree. He felt a great pain in his back. Luckily the hag's strength was less than his telekinesis. If it had been the same, he would have a broken spine and would be half dead.

'Did she turn her fucking arm into a tentacle?' thought Luke gritting his teeth in pain. Luckily his outcast status gave him a better physique than a normie and from Natasha's training he was used to being beaten to a pulp.

"Hahaha take that!" said the hag, laughing, showing her sharp, rotten teeth. Her intelligence looked like that of a child.

Taking advantage of being ignored, Xavier had already finished his drawing. In his hand, he had a simple 2D revolver, but functional. He aimed at the maniacally laughing hag and fired.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The hag's chest was hit by three bullets. The bullets went through her, and she was pushed backward by the force of the bullets. She collapsed to the ground.

Xavier wanted to shoot again, but he had no more bullets, "Tsch. If only I had had more time," he muttered with annoyance. The gun in his hand melted into ink until it disappeared.

'He created a functional gun?' thought Luke with surprise. He had already stood up and watched as Xavier shot the hag.

This Xavier seemed to be much stronger than the one in the Wednesday series or they just didn't show his true abilities in the series.

To both of their bad luck, the hag got up faster than the first time. Her angry, crazed gaze was directed at Xavier. Despite her healing, it was still painful to get shot.

Before the hag lunged rabidly at Xavier, Luke had already acted. With his powers, he floated all the rocks and useful objects on the ground. Since he couldn't lift a tree with his current strength, he would have to use smaller objects.

Rocks of medium, small, and large sizes floated all over the place. Without a second thought, he crushed the hag with dozens of stones and branches at an incredible speed.

The hag could do nothing to dodge so many rocks and branches. All she could do was instinctively cover her head. Her body was crushed and pierced.

The speed at which Luke threw these stones was not low. He could move a 180kg object and throw it at a fast speed. With smaller objects, he could increase the throwing speed. Reaching the speed of an average bullet.

The hag ended up on the ground again with numerous holes in her body. Green blood was coming out of her skin. It was a disgusting sight. Xavier took advantage and approached Luke. "Thank you for saving me. Are you okay?" he asked as he looked at Luke's condition. From his forehead was a thin line of blood, and the same on his nose.

"Yeah. Just minor injuries," Luke replied, wiping the blood from his nose. What hurt the most was his back.

Luckily, the hag's intelligence was low. If instead of throwing him, she had crushed his arm with the tentacle his wound would be serious, and he would have a pulped arm.

"In the books, they didn't say that they have such a great power of recovery," said Xavier, looking towards the hag, who started to move again.

This time, she got up slower than before. Luke and Xavier could see on her frightful skin several holes that gave off greenish blood.

'Not all the holes regenerated,' Luke thought more hopefully than before. The hag was not immortal. This time it looked like she had taken a lot of damage.

Not wanting to give her time to attack. Luke made a cutting movement with his hand manipulating telekinetic waves. Despite the distance, a gust of wind rushed towards the hag's

neck at high speed.

The hag turned her arm into a tentacle and covered her neck. The psychic blow hit her octopus' arm and did not hurt her. Since she had no bones in that arm.

If he was a normal person or a weaker outcast his neck would have been snapped, and the fight would have been over. Unfortunately, things were not so easy in life.

"Draw a large knife as fast as possible. I'll buy you time," Luke said, stepping in front of

Xavier.

"Two minutes will do," said Xavier, stepping back and started drawing Luke's request.

Luke wanted to go back to controlling the stones, but the hag would not stand still. From her four-fingered hand, she created a cloud of black smoke that enveloped her. Hiding her from

Luke's view.

The smoke began to spread more and more until it reached Luke and enveloped him. Luckily it didn't reach Xavier who had stepped away to draw.

'Where is she?' thought Luke, trying to stay calm. All he could see was black smoke. The only

good thing about this damn smoke was that it had no poison in it, and he could breathe

without a problem.

"Hijijiji!"

Luke heard an evil laugh. He looked over, but there was only black smoke. He turned his head

quickly, but there was nothing there either.

"Get out!" shouted Luke, making a cutting blow with his hand. Some smoke was dispersed, but quickly the place was engulfed in a cloud of smoke again.

The hag's laughter began to be heard all around. Luke stopped trying to look for her. It was

useless. In a moment he felt a murderous intent. He managed to move backward but was hurt. The hag's hand scratched him. Her nails were very sharp. His right forearm was marked with a scratch and bleeding.

'Damn it' growled Luke feeling a burning in his forearm. The hag's laughter increased. She seemed to be playing.

Luke wanted to tear her apart. He couldn't use telekinesis as he had no vision of the objects he should move. Edgar told him that's the disadvantage of telekinetics, you have to practice a lot to be able to move objects that aren't in your vision. That's why it's so hard to fly or manipulate your own body with telekinesis.

'Fucking hag... No, I must calm down,' thought Luke, staying still in his place. In the previous

attack, he managed to sense the hag's murderous intent. Thanks to that he managed to dodge the blow and suffer only a scratch on his arm.

He didn't know what this ability was, but it was very useful. It allowed him to sense the hag's murderous intent and try to dodge the attack. Regardless of whether he has a vision or not of his enemy.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was useless to try to see through this cloud of black smoke. The hag's laughter could be heard in different places, but he didn't care. 'There!' thought Luke, turning around and trying to dodge the hag's attack. This time he was hit too, and was just short of a perfect dodge.

His right shoulder was scratched, and his clothes were torn, 'My trademark clothes,' thought

Luke with a vein in his forehead.

He closed his eyes again and waited. When the hag was about to attack her murderous intent

was strongest, and that gave her away. He had to wait for that moment.
