Chapter 437: Chapter 434: Thunderstorm Day

Boom—

Another thunderous noise echoed as the island’s strata cracked further, reaching the depths of the underground ruins.

Chunks of earth and stone, having lost their support, tumbled into the ruins, smashing into the water and creating sounds of splashing streams. All this, mixed with the still unreceded storm around the island, even conveyed a sense of approaching apocalypse.

However, the changes did not stop there.

Amid the surging magic power and the falling earth, a pitch-black fog, akin to the abyssal darkness, began emerging before everyone’s eyes. The entire ruin was left in darkness, as if it were a living Hell on earth.

"..."

"Power of Hell?"

Midair, the arm’s wielder also noticed the changes beneath the ruins.

The action of gathering magic power to expand the distortion increased abruptly, even the tone carried full caution.

"The successor of the Three Pure Realms school is still here!"

"How could you have successfully passed its trial in such a suppressive magical environment?"

If, before this recognition of the source of the "Divine Comedy" spell, the arm’s owner had displayed an attitude of supremacy, then upon this realization, there was an immediate shift in the voice, revealing a sense of humanity.

The cause of this change...

Even Claudia and others, who were originally fleeing for their lives, managed to break away from nearly choking tension for the first time, sensing that the existence in the air could be confronted.

"..."

A few seconds passed.

A figure pierced through the darkness from the black fog and shot up into the sky, wielding a blinding blade as he flew towards the arm’s location.

Bang—

The result was brutally harsh.

The arm in the sky simply waved lightly, and Ronald’s body, flying midair, suddenly halted, then plunged down at a speed faster than his emergence from the fog, falling like a cannonball.

Witnessing this scene...

Heloise, who had just stabilized at the edge of the broken island, cried out in an urgent tone:

"Ronald!"

The girl’s cries met no response.

After Ronald fell into the darkness, the Hell’s power below was like a still pool of dead water, without any visible ripples on the surface.

At this instant, the survivors present felt a chill in their hearts.

The highly proficient Original Holder had fallen like this.

Was this enemy, who had only shown an arm, truly an entity that humans could overcome?

However, just as despair began to surge in their hearts.

A distant male voice began emerging from the Hell’s black fog.

"The sky at noon falls clearly,

The earth parts from its edge,

The name of the Son of Man is yet to be established..."

As soon as the voice spoke, the arm in the sky trembled.

Then it suddenly contorted, as the pure and unblemished arm seemed to be caught in a piece of empty air, appearing to be forcefully dragging the entire body from across the distorted airspace!

He recognized the chant of "Rain Mist Divine Hammer."

Such that now, the caster had no thoughts of continuing the attack, only wishing to enter this world as swiftly as possible.

"Light that shakes the earth thrown towards the mortal realm,

Gale suddenly fierce, mountains and fields tremble, the earth burns,

The angel of death cries out in hidden agony, the keel of the ship creaks forward;

..."

The chanting from within the dark fog grew louder, and as the spell continued to unfold, the storm that had begun to subside around them also renewed its ravaging force, as if heaven and earth were preparing for the impending arrival.

Far away, dropped on a fragment of the island’s shattered ruins, Claudia and others were completely at a loss in front of this scene.

Regardless of status or power.

Under such overwhelming presence, everyone could only watch the next moves in the battle helplessly.

Crack—

Suddenly, the twisted air in the sky emitted a shattering sound.

The arm, white as jade, also possessed an indescribable strength. With an unrestrained movement, pitch-black cracks appeared in the air, just like when glass shatters.

Following that, the upper half of a ’person’ crawled out from the crevice.

Just like his unique voice, the revealed face of this individual was hard to pin down in terms of gender and age, containing seemingly every beautiful trait in the world.

However, in actual action,

this fellow’s reaction was quite unworthy of his appearance.

Half of his body squeezed in the crack, he looked down at the dark powers of Hell below, his voice full of authority:

"Humanity, my arrival will change everything in this world."

"Do you, a powerful Caster like yourself, not understand what this means?"

As his words fell, a burning greatsword, condensed from purple flames, appeared in his hand. Without waiting for Ronald’s response, the figure hurled it towards the darkness below.

"Light of Fury! Light of Sanctity!

Light of Swiftness! Light of Destruction!

Thunderbolts of Noonday Extremes!

Sovereign of the Parched Skies!

Boom——

In an instant, Ronald completed the final chant.

A blinding light tore through the sky, and deafening thunder followed immediately. The purple flame sword, just thrown out, was shattered into pieces by the power in the sky in a flash, turning into countless sparks falling into the darkness.

And seeing this scene, the ’person’ in the sky seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"Just one? Then it’s still manageable..."

Boom, boom, boom——

Snap——

Crack——

Suddenly, between heaven and earth, there was no other sound.

The face of the ’person’ in the sky also completely froze with the earth-shaking noise.

That thunderbolt was far from the end!

Above the shattered island, frightening currents sprawled between the clouds. Sinister clouds were lit with astonishing flashes, as if countless dragons and serpents danced high above.

Common sense dictates that lightning seen in the sky is fleeting.

People could only witness its majesty for an instant.

But at this moment, above the shattered island, the lightning broke this convention. Countless bolts appeared and cut through the sky at an incredible speed, yet they didn’t disappear.

Instead, they spread and intertwined rapidly in the air.

Until the world was left with nothing but the sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning, the sky seemed to lower itself, rushing down towards the world where the ground lay.

——It was lightning.

——It was unimaginable that lightning was pouring down.

Electricity, filled with an unknown amount of energy, plunged downwards together, even dragging the clouds in the sky to a lower altitude. In such an inconceivable world, substances that could be electrolyzed started reacting rapidly, followed by continuous explosions.

The world above the sea was no longer that of mortals.

This was a domain ruled purely by lightning, a ravaging force bringing an end to all things!

"Roar——"

Amidst this environment,

a nearly imperceptible roar was swept through the thunder.

The people standing on the edge of the shattered island couldn’t even comprehend what was happening.

Their vision was scorched by the incandescent light, their eardrums ruptured by the relentless thunder, and the ground on which they stood continued to crumble away.

In such an environment, even maintaining the balance of one’s body was a luxury!

And among these people,

Only Heiress, who had received the sense of communion, remained motionless, looking towards the sky.

The girl had none of her previous despair.

On her face, made beautifully white by the light of the thunderbolt, emerged a smile as if she saw victory.
