Chapter 156 – A Strange Cultivation Experience – IV
Everything exploded into a symphony of chaos.
The ground trembled with each step of the colossal gorilla charging forward, wielding a tree branch thicker than a carriage axle. Its movements, surprisingly agile, tore through the air with raw power. Glenn moved like lightning, his body wrapped in tendrils of electricity that coiled around his arms and legs. Each step left a trail of sparks on the ground, and his pupils glowed a fierce gold, a sign of his absolute control over his lightning affinity.
The beast roared and spun the branch like a giant club, smashing trees, rocks, and even parts of the cliffside with monstrous force. Glenn slid across the terrain with calculated precision, avoiding the use of gravitational magic, testing his reflexes and endurance under pure pressure.
Lightning burst from Glenn’s body like incandescent whips, slicing through the air in violent zigzags. Every strike that landed on the gorilla scorched its black flesh, tore away tufts of fur, and filled the air with the acrid stench of burning. But the creature, either insane or too resilient to care, kept charging forward, eyes wide and frothing with rage.
With an animalistic howl, the gorilla planted the branch in the ground and hurled it like a monstrous spear. The projectile tore through the air in a deadly straight line toward Glenn, who dodged to the side with surgical precision. What he hadn’t expected was that the beast had used the throw as a distraction.
In a feral burst of speed, the gorilla appeared behind the branch, its fists suddenly hardened. The bones of its hands and forearms lengthened and burst through the skin, forming jagged bone blades. Its mouth stretched into a vicious grin, as if it could already taste victory.
But then everything changed.
A rift tore open in the air with a dry sound, like paper ripping through reality. It appeared right in front of Glenn, the branch vanishing into it only to reappear above the gorilla and strike down with devastating force. The beast’s head smashed into the ground as the momentum of its charge sent its body tumbling at high speed.
Glenn leapt into the air, his eyes flaring, and unleashed two colossal bolts of lightning straight into the gorilla. The impact was so violent the creature’s eyes rolled back, and its massive frame crashed into the ground, forming a crater as chunks of flesh were hurled in every direction.
Glenn didn’t hesitate.
With a snap of his fingers, he concentrated a small portion of gravitational mana directly beneath the beast and waited.
The valley answered.
