41 Lightning Dance (2/2)
That Technique was clearly claiming a high price from Vidio's body.
”What the hell is that Technique!” whispered Snowflake.
”It looks really monstrous…” said Helial frowning.
Snowflake curled his whiskers and looked at that little monster, not sure if he was joking or not. If the Master's Technique could be called monstrous, what should Helial's be called? The biggest monstrosity in the universe?
The lightning bolts kept exploding on the Master's body, tearing his clothes to shreds and scattering bluish Mana sparkles all around.
Finally, the last ten lightning bolts fell from the sky at the same time and shattered on the Master's body simultaneously.
The Goblins and the Commander stared at that man being covered in a shower of electric shocks and getting out of it mostly unharmed.
”AH!” Vidio shouted and the bluish mist immediately condensed, covering him from head to toe.
His eyes changed color, becoming completely blue. Not only the iris, but even the pupils and the entire eyes had turned light blue.

Duration: 5 minutes
It was truly a monstrous Technique. Vidio had withstood the impact of more than a hundred bolts of lightning and now his body was immensely more powerful. He glanced at the life bar: he had only 10% left.
Vidio had only a handful of minutes and could not afford to waste any time. The backfire of the Technique would have prevented him from fighting longer and if he did not get rid of all those Goblin within five minutes, Helial, Lumia, the cat and himself would die.

Boom!
Vidio dashed against five Goblins that still had not recovered from the latest events. Where he was standing a few instants before, there was now a big crater.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Whenever he moved, the Master left behind himself afterimages and explosions. Lightning Dance had enhanced all his Skills. Despite the price to pay being very high, that Technique was definitely a game-changer.
Boom!
When he was a couple of yards from the Goblins, he lunged with the Staff. The shockwave created immediately destroyed the five Goblins, leaving only bits and pieces of meat flying about. They had been pulverized; it would have been impossible to revive those Goblins, even if they had long reached the First Phase.
Two conditions had to be satisfied in order to revive someone: first, Mana had to be injected in the body within 24 hours from the apparent death; second, at least part of the body had to exist, even a couple of bone could suffice. So, as long as the remainings could be retrieved with 24 hours, that someone could be brought back to life. After the 24 hours, however, nothing could be done. The same could be said about the first requisite: if the body had been ripped to shreds, not even Caesar could have resuscitated it.

It had taken only a few seconds to destroy those Goblins.
Vidio did not stop, taking another step forward.

Vidio activated an AoE Skill and another 10 Goblins disappeared that instant, turned to dust.
04:51
Helial believed that the Master would have to make an effort to kill all those Goblins. However, he had killed almost half of them in just ten seconds.
…
According to the standards of this planet, the Master must be some kind of monster, I suppose. But in the universe he would be barely passable, almost mediocre actually.
…
04:21
Only a handful of Goblins was still live now. The Commander stood there, paralyzed by the terrifying power exercised by the Master. Vidio looked like a deity, continuously appearing ad disappearing and wrecking death and desperation wherever he went.
”Damn, that monster. He's too strong, not even I can stop him. Fuck, fuck!” snarled the Commander desperately, ready to engage in battle at any second.

On the other side of the forest
Caesar was donating weapons to the soldiers who had contributed greatly to the annihilation of the enemy; sometimes he even had to force the weapons on the more unwilling soldiers. Only a few of them really felt to deserve a gift from Caesar for their deeds. After all, after the intervention of the King, they would have all died.
Caesar had a smile for each and everyone of them, regardless of their status. The soldiers had heard of Caesar's deeds and generosity, but witnessing it was a whole different story. They were all proud of such a King, generous and not overbearing with his own people. Would else could they wish for?
While he was healing the wounds of a recruit, Caesar suddenly frowned and gazed at a forest in the distance.
He slapped the recruit on the back and said with a smile: ”Your wound has healed. Do not fight in the next few days, try to rest and be with your family. I'll have someone send you some money, I'll have money sent to all of you! Now excuse me, I'll be right back.”
This being said, he soared and disappeared into thin air.
