330 Lightning Tribulation I (2/2)

He looked at the fourth strike and swung his sword toward it.

\”Immovable Step!\”

He needed his Immovable Step and his Sword Intent at the same time to barely block this lightning strike.

The fifth strike immediately came toward him the moment he destroyed the fourth strike. Alex threw his spear.

\”Immovable Step.\”

With that absurd strength of his, coupled with his Spear Intent. Alex managed to destroy the fifth strike. But the sixth lightning strike already appeared and struck his spear.

The lightning continued on its path toward Alex. But, despite losing his spear, Alex did not panic. He did not take another spear out. Instead, he waved his hand toward the lightning, and a Fire Phoenix suddenly came out and flew toward the sky.

\”Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon.\”

The phoenix flew toward the lightning and exploded. The flame immediately burned the lightning bit by bit, and it was gone by the time it reached Alex.

When Mithra saw this, she dropped her jaw to the ground. It was already shocking for her to see Alex's talent in sword, spear, and array. To think Alex even had a Pure Fire Element. It was amazing beyond belief.

Because she had accompanied Maxwell in the past, she understood what kind of existence Pure Fire was. And she felt this ferocity from Alex's fire.

She immediately knew Alex's element was Pure Fire Element. There was no other explanation other than that. After all, she did not observe Alex when he was killing the undead at the bottom.

\”Haha… That bast*rd does not bring a genius, he brings a monster.\” Mithra said. There was another thing that came to her head.

Maxwell was also an Alchemist. And that made the possibility of Alex already becoming an Alchemist high.

The sight in front of her even ignited the passion inside her heart. Sadly, she could not leave this place, and even after she left this place. She would not be able to live for so long because of the forbidden technique.

It was such a shame. But she felt very satisfied to see such a monster just before she died. She felt fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Alex was facing his Purple Color Lightning Tribulation. When the seventh strike struck forth, Alex did not dare to touch it anymore.

It was because the ferocity of the lightning surpassed his imagination. He decided to go all out from this moment.

\”Seven Stars Cut.\”

He finally used his strongest Martial Art at the moment, Seven Stars Cut. Although he only produced a six layers Seven Stars Cut, it was enough to face this seventh strike.

At the very least, even if it did not manage to destroy it, the lightning strike would already lose most of its power.

\”Boom!\”

Alex looked at the explosion because of the clash between his sword wave and the lightning. Fortunately, the lightning was completely obliterated by his sword wave, so he did not need to do anything after that.

He immediately prepared for the eighth strike. The eighth lightning strike was coming down with another boost of power that was far stronger than the seventh strike.

When Mithra saw this lightning strike, she was surprised. Because the power contained in this lightning strike was as strong as Maxwell's last lightning strike when he underwent his tribulation. But for Alex, it was only his eighth lightning strike.

She wanted to help Alex, but she knew she couldn't. If she helped him, he would fail his tribulation. But she also knew that Alex still had a more powerful move. Especially the attack where he combined his Sword Intent and Spear Intent.

It was so strong. She even needed to use her full power to block that attack. She cut it down easily when she used her full power though.

Alex did not cower in this eighth strike. The blade of his sword as well as his spear started burning with flame. He swung both of them, making an 'X' sword wave that flew to the sky.

\”Seven Stars Cut!\”

Both sword waves were burning like crazy as it contained his Pure Fire Element.

It clashed with the lightning. The clash this time was far more powerful than the previous one as the moment they clashed, they sent a huge shock wave that could be felt even at the edge of this special realm.

Alex kept observing the attacks with his Spirit Eyes. Luckily, their energy was the same.

After clashing for a few seconds, both the lightning and Alex's attack lost all of its energy and destroyed each other.

On the side, Mithra was frowning. She knew that this was the right time to use the Lightning Rod Array. But something was ticking her off.

She had many experiences with this Lightning Rod Array since Maxwell made this array for her and Skewes when they wanted to advance. So, she knew how strong the Lightning Rod Array was.

After seeing Alex's lightning tribulation, she felt that this Lightning Rod Array could only withstand this lightning strike. The eighth one, not the ninth.

If Alex used his Lightning Rod Array at this particular time, there was no way the array could block this. And if the array broke, the lightning tribulation would send another ninth wave to attack Alex.

It would be such a waste if it turned out to be like that. When Alex wanted to activate the array, she suddenly shouted, trying to warn him.

\”WAIT!\”
