Chapter 262: Wooden Cabin (End)
Thanks to years of training—and countless games of fetch with Buddy—Everly had always maintained exceptionally accurate throwing skills.
The silver-white sphere left her palm and drew a bright arc through the air, landing precisely inside the goat-hoofed monster’s mouth.
At the same time, the button pressed by her thumb automatically sprang back. A mechanism inside the sphere was triggered. The moment it touched the inner wall of the creature’s mouth, the metal sphere silently unfolded, releasing a single violet-red electric orb from within.
Yes—“single.” At least the moment it appeared, the electric orb was small enough to be described that way.
Ever seen bacteria multiplying under a microscope?
Once exposed to the air, the violet-red electric orb began to expand like bacteria dividing—one becoming two, two becoming three, three becoming infinite. In the blink of an eye, it swelled from the size of a fingernail to that of a yoga ball, completely filling the monster’s mouth.
Arcs of electricity coiled around its surface. Deep blue, pale gold, dark red, bright violet—different colors of current flashed into existence and vanished again in an instant, illuminating the forest in bursts of blinding light.
The glowing electric sphere triggered an anomaly in the sky. Thunderclouds gathered over the forest at a visible speed.
Within just a few seconds, the clouds had grown to cover the entire sky as far as the eye could see. Inside the pitch-black mass, countless wrist-thick lightning bolts slithered like serpents.
