Chapter 734 - Easy Lightning Tribulation? (2/2)
This might be the easiest Lightning Tribulation he ever faced. It might be due to how extreme the previous two were, but Alex still couldn't believe that he just finished the sixth wave without a problem.
”This is good.” Alex smirked as he summoned his Phoenix while waiting for the next purple lightning.
*Rumble Rumble!*
The sky color changed again, and the seventh wave struck forth.
Alex took a deep breath and sent his Fire Phoenix before creating Space Plates again.
The Phoenix hit the lightning from the side while the remnant fire began burning it. At the same time, the power of the Space Plate stopped the lightning for a minute, giving Alex precious time to lower its strength.
After he felt confident with the current state, he released his Space Plates and swung his weapons.
”Heaven Light Slash!”
*Boom!*
The lightning seemed to create an explosion this time but didn't affect him in the slightest.
”Space Plate is indeed a useful technique. Although the individual strength of each plate isn't that great, as long as I can create multiple of them, I can stop any attacks… Besides, I can let the Spiritual Weapons protect me with their barrier while focusing on my Space Plates. To think I have come this far.” Alex couldn't help but smile. He remembered how he didn't know how to control his fire before his teacher taught him.
There was also a time where he didn't know a single thing about Alchemist and Array. He trained hard to master both. After that, he started learning more and more techniques and increased his strength. To think that he almost reached Martial Saint, it was something special for him because there was only one more Tribulation before reaching God Stage.
He pumped his fists and looked up. ”Come!”
The eighth wave flew down. Its strength was stronger than the previous one, but it didn't have any abnormality.
Alex took a deep breath and pulled both hands back before thrusting it upward.
”Mythical Spear Cannon!”
Both weapons released a beam, heading toward the Lightning.
The clash lasted for a minute before Alex's Mythical Spear Cannon got destroyed.
Alex didn't have a change of expression as if he had predicted such a result. Instead, he smiled and jumped into the air, slashing both weapons three times.
”Heaven Light Slash!”
The six strikes destroyed the lightning almost immediately.
Only when he landed on the ground once again, Alex suddenly clapped.
Firia tilted her head for a second before she smiled, realizing the meaning behind Alex's action. ”Such a sneaky one… Even I almost missed it.”
Alex couldn't hear her words due to the distance, but he still activated the two arrays he just drew. The first one was the Special Array, adding another layer to his defense, while the other one was a Lightning Rod Array.
If one observed him carefully, there were a few empty bottles lying on the ground. It was proof that Alex had been using them this whole time. His movement was smooth, making the clash between him and the lightning the main attraction. On the other hand, the battle went easier than usual, allowing him to direct his focus in creating these arrays.
Everything was drawn by his Spiritual Energy.
As soon as the ninth wave struck forth, the Lightning Rod Array shone brightly, attracting the Lightning. Alex simply jumped to the side, watching how the Lightning got dispersed by the array.
Alex's expression turned serious as soon as the ninth wave ended because this was the moment where he needed to be serious. The Golden Lightning usually had power far stronger than the other ones, so he needed to be careful.
Taking a deep breath, Alex planned to use his strongest attack right off the bat.
*Rumble Rumble!*
The thunderous roar echoed as a golden flash brightened the tower.
Alex squinted his eyes before slashing his two weapons forward when he saw the cloud release its final attack.
”Triple Draws.”
”Mythical Fire Slash.”
”Space Cut.”
These techniques started to become his best combination attack after knowing Space Cut from Ryuu. He looked at the clash between his attack and the Golden Lightning as it released a powerful shock wave, shaking his Special Realm.
However, the conclusion came in a sudden. The combination of these twelve Sword Waves slashed the Golden Lightning into many pieces, continuing its path toward the ceiling. Although the Golden Lightning's strength was not low, it was still not comparable to these combinations.
”Oh, wait! Can this tower withstand my attack?” Alex sweatdropped, noticing what he had done. He immediately teleported as soon as he succeeded in breaking the Golden Lightning.
He appeared again right under the ceiling as he created a Spatial Gate connecting to the Blue Layered Realm, sucking his own attack.
”Fu.” He let out a breath of relief. ”I never expect there will be a time where I need to protect my own Lightning Tribulation…”
Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, he was protecting the tower itself, not his Lightning Tribulation. On the other hand, it was also in that way. All his memories about the Golden Lightning were a challenge, and he never met one this weak before or… ”This might not be good. This one might not be a challenge, but there is one more of this. Now that I have used every technique in my repertoire, I need another trump card to fight the next Lightning Tribulation, or I will be doomed.”
Nonetheless, he had officially finished his Martial Saint Lightning Tribulation as he looked at the cloud dispersing. He descended to the ground and looked at Firia. ”I am going to get the inheritance, so I will leave everything to you.”
”Don't worry. I am ready for it.” Firia nodded, assuring him with a smile.
Little did he know that he miscalculated the number of people that had been watching him this whole time.
