Chapter 57
“Infinity.”
Crackle!
A lightning bolt directly struck Sungmuk’s body. There was no way he could avoid this. An individual’s speed and strength didn’t matter; after all, how could anyone avoid a lightning strike? As he prepared himself, Sungmuk temporarily reinforced his body, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face. The strike didn’t injure him at all. He then looked down at his chest to find the image of a lightning bolt stamped across his chest.
“… This!”
He cocked his head up to the sky and saw a mass of dark clouds rolling in.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunder and lightning roiling around in the dark clouds was a frightening sight to behold, and after a few moments, lightning started raining down on Sungmuk. Yet, when the third strike fell, Sungmuk used his body lightness technique to jump 30 meters into the air with each step, starting to slash at the amassed storm clouds.
“… Oh my god!”
Jeros couldn’t help but gasp after seeing Sungmuk cancel his spell through sheer brute force. Fifteen lightning strikes should have fallen, but Sungmuk had cut through the gathered magic power system, Lightning Maker. Sungmuk didn’t power through the lightning by strengthening his body with internal energy or redirecting the electricity elsewhere; he had simply leaped toward the source of the lightning and destroyed it with a sword strike.
