Chapter 470: Tribulation (4)
Malaya trembled on Theron’s back, but her eyes remained completely shut. She didn’t dare to make a sound for fear that she would distract Theron.
She could feel all the little hairs on her body standing up as though the static electricity was increasing in the air, and every time it increased, she thought that the next wave might be a true bolt of lightning.
But true to his word, Theron didn’t abandon her. In fact, his mind was racing. Even as pain wracked him from head to toe, he was trying to find another way out of this.
He thought about a Vitality Bloomstone to at least shore up his body first, but he found that there was actually a small portal in his esophagus.
He had already revealed that trump card when he saved Malaya, and it seemed that the little girl was even more ready than he knew.
The organ system she damaged the most with her strike just now was his digestive system, as though she had been ready for all of this from the very start. He couldn’t even swallow a mouthful of food right now if he wanted, let alone a Bloomstone of any kind.
He released a shuddering breath, but he could hardly do that without the Heavens striking him down again, and then again.
In the far-off distance, Garethon smiled. The little girl, Juliax, was truly his magnum opus.
Theron was right about the highest success rate being that of Flux Mancers. But in Garethon’s opinion, that was proof of the weakness of Mancers in general, not his methods.
The body was the foundation of everything. Just because you were an Elemental Mancer didn’t mean that you should neglect it. Ultimately, all affinities came from the body; the soul was stored within the body, as was the dantian.
