Chapter 467: Tribulation (1)
Theron stood calmly in the midst of the encirclement, lightning raging around him.
The skies opened up and unleashed their fury, but it only seemed to enhance the snaking rivers of golden bolts around Theron. One after another, he trapped them, his breathing even.
This time, he hadn’t even used the Vitality Bloomstone to heal himself; he didn’t need it. The moment he stopped holding back the armor, it was able to use it to enhance himself instead, increasing his absorption rate of Mana several times over.
It felt like with just a handful of breaths, he was already back to full health.
The enemies that he wanted to kill seemed to have scattered, all of them putting up defenses against the tribulation and forming an encirclement even wider than the one around him now.
They were risking their lives just to be here under this absolutely unprecedented Tribulation, and yet that didn’t mean that they had completely lost their minds.
They knew that if they wanted a chance, they needed two things to happen.
First, Theron needed to pass this Tribulation.
Second, he needed to be weak enough for them to kill before he managed to ascend.
During this second phase... that was where they would be able to take his place. That was when they would be able to take his place. That was when the opportunity they had been dreaming of all their lives would open up.
However, standing there right this moment, watching Theron wield rivers of water and tides of lightning made them feel so very small...
Was this a monster they were supposed to be able to defeat? Why did it feel like it was they who had walked right into a trap?
