Void Evolution System-Novel

Chapter 1104 Lightning [2]

Currently, the Imperious Flame Eagle was feeling more aggrieved than it had ever been.

What did it do wrong?

No, what the hell was even happening right now?

Strange beings kept appearing from thin air and attacking him, and what was worse, nature seemed to have become his enemy as well!

He'd been struck with all kinds of elements from water to darkness, from life to death. He'd been stabbed, hacked, and beaten with every possible weapon imaginable, even fists!

Bai Longxuan was followed by Feng Yuxiang and Bianca Snow. They were followed by Tephit and Galantis.

Each of these individuals had reached the 9 revolutions already, but they weren't the only 4th class beings under Damien's control!

Lunaria Snow and Feng Qing'er were both nearing the middle stages of 4th class and showed their faces to help, the elite corps Damien ordered Elvira to train was filled with 4th class soldiers he could utilize, the Cloud Giants and undersea races had their own 4th class forces…

Damien finally let loose the force of the Sanctuary that he'd kept hidden for so long.

And even now, he was only revealing a portion of it.

If he took those below 4th class into account…

Hell, even if he took the 4th class beings too weak to use in this battle into account, his force became something terrifying!

It could be said that Damien had his own Holy Land in the Sanctuary. That was the kind of force he'd been hiding.

'It'll be a bit longer before I can bring them into the universe full-force, but for now, it's great to see how the Sanctuary has grown.'

Damien happily reveled in the achievements of himself and his underlings as he tormented the Imperious Flame Eagle, which still hadn't been able to approach him!

After the assault of so many 4th class beings along with the Heavenly Lightning that unintentionally struck him every time, he was already nearing the verge of death after a few minutes.

Its flaming wings were clipped, there were scorch marks all over its body, and gashes and holes caused by its living enemies rained blood onto the ground below!

It couldn't even move anymore.

It tried to attack, but the summoning nature of these enemies' presence made it impossible for him to guess where they came from.

And if it attacked Damien…

Well, did it need to be said?

Teleportation made him a ghost that couldn't be touched.

He was a dignified king.

He was someone who surpassed all other beasts in the Severed World to achieve his position.

He was a beast among beasts, a powerhouse that was feared by all!

Yet, in his own territory, it was being beaten like a pig.

The Imperious Flame Eagle was unresigned to its fate, but what could it do?!

Damien's seemingly endless supply of single-use 4th-class beings would otherwise be manageable.

The Heavenly Lightning was the true instigator of its fate.

If it wasn't for that lightning, it wouldn't have lost the ability to fight back so easily!

If not for the lightning, it wouldn't have lost its wings!

A bird without its wings was nothing but prey.

This fact didn't change when talking about powerful creatures.

Damien descended onto the eagle's head as it pitifully bled out, his eyes focused on the storm above.

"I think something worse is coming for me, so I'll let you off easy this time," he said, withdrawing Mirage.

Shik!

The sword stabbed in between the bird's eyes, slicing straight through its broken skull and impaling its brain.

He wasn't supposed to kill this king, because his challenge was yet to end.

But he had no choice.

He was about to pass out from the mental fatigue of his heavy concentration and battle against the Universal Law.

Right now, he required sustenance.

'Devour'

Damien let the pitch-black maw of mana chomp into the eagle's body and consume it.

He felt his own body changing due to it, and he felt its memories streaming into his head.

'No, this isn't what I need right now.'

The power of a 4th class being could do wonders for his current 2nd-class self, but its influence would be minuscule in the long run.

Therefore, Damien saved its essence and disallowed it from sinking into his body.

He once again turned his attention to the sky.

"Thanks for waiting. Let's get this over with."

Rumble!

The clouds thundered as if responding to his words.

As the perpetrator of the offenses that called this storm and angered the Heavens in the first place, Damien couldn't escape its punishment.

Lightning coiled in the sky, sparking as it combined into a single bolt that rested in the center of the thundercloud.

The bolt was more like a pillar at this point, sitting in the sky and waiting for its chance to descend.

It waited for Damien to see it and feel it's power, so it could strike fear into his heart.

But fear had no place in his life.

"If you want to come, then come! I'm too busy to play your little games!"

RUMBLE!

The clouds roared angrily and responded to his provocation.

In a single instant, a 5-meter-wide pillar of lightning descended to the ground below.

The world seemed to go dark.

From every corner of the mountain, one could see this lightning pillar and feel the world's hatred.

Rose, Ruyue, and Elena looked back at the area with worried expressions on their faces.

"He'll…be fine, right?" Elena muttered.

It was quiet for a second.

"He'll be fine," Rose responded firmly.

"His strength might be weakened, but don't you know our husband by now? He is not someone who'll die so easily."

Elena nodded.

The spectacular fluctuations emanating from the point of impact were rushing through the air in pulses.

It felt like a rushing wind made of mana, a scenario none of them had ever experienced even in their wildest moments.

Because this kind of phenomenon could only be manifested by an entity at the level of a partial Universal Law.

Far, far away from the girls, on the other side of the mountain, a woman watched the event with indifference in her eyes.

Her expression didn't change, but her thoughts were running wild.

'I knew it. This man…' ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

She suddenly remembered a certain moment and shook her head.

'I can't. I cannot.'

Closing her eyes, Sia stabilized her mind and patted the being beside her.

"Go. That one will probably head over soon. Your help is needed."

"Hmph."

The being snorted proudly.

"My master has the same desire. You do not need to command me."

"Since when did I command you? Plus, don't I count for anything?"

"You are…a special case."

"See? So just be obedient and head over."

The being frowned and shook its head.

Despite her strange methods, she'd still managed to come here, so it didn't have the choice to go against her.

It's wings flapped gracefully and it took to the air.

"Let us see if it is worth the effort."

Sia was left alone as the being left in the direction of the Heavenly Lightning beam.

Countless eyes were focused on the scene Damien had made.

Such pure wrath couldn't be elicited from an unbiased entity like the Universal Law, after all.

They were curious about why it reacted in such a way, and what could possibly cause it.

Their questions would likely never be answered.

And the man at the center of their confusion…
