Chapter 184: Lucian vs Nathalie 3 (Flashback)
Lucian narrowed his eyes at Nathalie, her regal form framed in shimmering frost and glacial weapons. The chill in the air deepened, but it did little to dampen the thunderstorm he was about to unleash.
Then he spoke, voice low but heavy with power and authority.
"Be honored," he said, his spear lowering until it pointed toward the earth. "You will be the first to witness this art, taught to me by that battle-crazed excuse of a god."
His stance shifted, thunder crackling faintly under his skin.
"Thunder Control: Divine Art—Transcend."
The moment those words fell, the world responded.
A titanic lightning bolt cleaved the sky, a fierce spear of electrifying energy that erupted from the heavens and plunged toward Lucian with the ferocity of divine judgment.
The moment of impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, the sound a deafening crack that echoed for miles.
Trees that once stood tall in their majestic forms were instantly reduced to charred remnants, their trunks vaporized into a fine ash that swirled like confetti in the chaotic gusts.
The earth itself trembled under the force, fracturing in chaotic patterns that spread like spider webs across the landscape, creating a sprawling crater of molten glass that shimmered under the waning light.
The jagged edges of blackened stone jutted out ominously, a stark contrast to the fiery molten core that bubbled within.
