66 Chapter 66 Raiju Part 05.
As the Martial Saint finished his sentence. The sky rumbled ominously as a colossal bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, descending with ferocious intensity towards the earth below. Its brilliant white light illuminated the landscape, casting eerie shadows in every direction. With a deafening roar, it struck his body, sending shockwaves rippling through the air and leaving behind a charred scar on the earth's surface.
On the other hand, the wolf and Hina had a dumbfounded expression on their faces as they saw the human male pull the trigger upon themselves, bathing in the silver light that brought punishment to the land.
{What?!}
Soma was in a deep state of anxiety. Feel his entire soul shaken and gush a bucket of cold sweat despite not having any of it. He saw the state he was in within the eyes that connected through with Martial Saint, who activated his second steps from his technique.
"Calm down, Soma, I am fine".
The violent lightning that kept pouring its primal might began to shrink, and it compressed itself into the equipment Soma'd currently wear. Because of the ferocious nature of the lightning itself, a Martial Saint could see the state of the equipment on his feet and let out a cry for it, showing a crack that spread to all of its body.
"This is the Second step, Lightning Descent".
{Amazing}
The second step, lightning descent, is the technique that will summon the violent nature of lightning upon him and clad himself with its brilliant might, creating an indestructible armor that clad the user.
The armor that was created using this technique, depending on how the usage, can or cannot be destroyed.
For example, If the lightning is summoned from within or the usage of magic by the user. It depends on how good the user's capability of mastering the magic is. Because if the user happens to meet with an enemy who happens to have a high mastery of magic, the armor could be destroyed.
The second option was creating the armor using the lightning element from nature itself, which the Martial Saint itself has shown. The nature element possesses a raw power that is violent and stronger than the magic created using Mana. The nature element could devour the magic humans create easily. Nature itself was created by the heavens' will, not made with human hands.
As a Martial Saint who reigned on Earth in ancient times, he already possessed immense power that made nature submit to himself, so summoning a lightning bolt from nature to help him defeat the enemy in front of him is like flipping the palm on his hand.
The wolf who witnessed the brilliant and might of the manifested armor on the human feet trembled for the first time since he was born. He felt a tremendous chill spread across his body from that armor clad in lightning. His body was stoned, mind in disarray, as he couldn't decide which option he should take.
"Hmph, feeling scared, eh. Then, I will finish the fight here".
Martial Saint smelled the emotion of fear that began to sprout from its immature heart, coming out from the wolf. Martial Saint prepared his stance by bending his right foot forward and setting straight his left foot behind. Since it was his chance to finish the battle and try to demonstrate the technique to Soma, Martial Saints intended to go with full power from the get-go.
"..Here I come".
The wolf met eyes with Martial Saint as the fur all over his body stood to no end. However, the wolf was a monster, a beast who, since birth, was gifted with an innate talent which is an extraordinary instinct that helped them survive the outside world.
The instinct inside the wolf was kicking in full throttle as his body, with life on the line, gambled everything in his last attack. The ground shook, for its aura rose until it reached the black cloud, making it swirl in an orderly manner and descent down and envelop the wolf's body. A crackle of lightning began to pour down, striking the wolf's body and raising his aura further.
"Awooo".
"Good, this is how a battle should be".
Martial Saint, who witnessed the last struggle of the wolf, flashed his white teeth as the lightning-clad boots on his feet exuded a blinding flash that birthed a hundredth lightning bolts that danced across the surface of his feet and created a brilliant spark of veins that shone in the dark world.
The two disasters start to clash. A turbulent, violent vortex that was like a pillar supporting the sky from the side and a hundredth of lightning trail that smeared the black world with its primal power. Amidst the clashes between disasters, both individuals keep their gaze focused on each other. However, the wolf was the one who lost its composure first as the surging power from the bolt from Martial Saint kept ringing a dangerous alarm from the get-go. Instead, it was intensified further.
"Grrr, awooo".
With a deafening roar, The aura from the wolf that smeared the world with its green color began to condense itself, wrapping around the wolf's body. The muscle in his body bulged as a streak of red veins could be seen with the naked eye. A crackling thunder on his body began to shine in brilliant light, and the wolf jumped, then swallowed by the black skies, followed by the vortex that rained down upon the land retreated.
The skies lit up with gleaming dots like a star that shone in silver, blasting away the cloud that stood in its way. The silver dot became much bigger, for the identity of the stars was Raiju, who unleashed his final attack. Its silver light left behind a tail like a comet that dropped upon the land
{Martial saint?}
"...".
Soma's entire soul turned numb as he sensed a great threat from the incoming meteor, which was unleashed by the wolf. The land where his feet stood shook for the incoming comet. The sky was crying because it was split by its magnificent might.
{Martial Saint, What should we do??}
"..Haha, this is indeed something. Then I must not hesitate further. Third Steps, Lightning Strike".
In an instant, time froze, leaving the world suspended in a surreal stillness. The wolf and the might of stars he brought from the sky became motionless, caught in a timeless moment. The air hung heavy with anticipation as if holding its breath in anticipation of the impending release. Sounds were muted, colors disappeared, leaving only a dull gray color, and the world felt oddly serene yet eerie as if trapped in a dreamlike state.
Soma, who is currently sharing his vission with Martial Saint, witnessed the phenomenon that transpired in front of him. His breath got shallow following the stopped world; his brain was in a daze looking at the dull world without color, and at the same time, he felt amazed by the technique martial saint invented.
In this still world, Martial Saint starts to move as he kicks the ground, destroying everything on his path wherever his feet touch the ground. With each step he took, thunder roared, creating a shockwave that gouged the flat land, creating a small crater and making the world cry in agony. Martial Saint advanced normally in that timeless world, approaching the wolf who was halfway to descent to the land.
The brilliant light on his feet keeps its might firm, tearing the gray world with its silver lining that acts as the paint on the gray canvas giving color to the world. Then, the two comets clashed with each other.
Martial Saint transferred all of his compressed power into a single target in his right foot before delivering a somersault kick, kicking the wolf's neck below.
The world began to center itself around those two. Space and Time began to rupture and get sucked into the clash of the two. They were creating a huge tear in the subspace, shaking its fundamental core. A deafening sound reverberated throughout the subspace, creating a colossal explosion that blasted the mountain summit and cleared the black clouds that dominated the sky.
