361 Ereks shock (1/2)

”What are you doing, Ajax. Stop it,”

Seeing that Ajax was trying to remove his evolved artifact that was blocking the lightning strike, Elder Erek anxiously asked Ajax to stop playing with his artifact.

As for Ajax, he didn't bother to pay any attention to Elder Erek and threw the mirror artifact at Elder Erek.

As soon as the mirror artifact was removed, the lightning strike changed its direction and rushed at Ajax to turn him into ashes.

Just like earlier, the lightning strike entered into his body and at the exact time, he looked at the system notifications to check for the remaining time for his skill 'Special merge'.

'Ding,

Time left:- 69 seconds

Only after seeing that, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief; however, in the next second the familiar pain occurred in his body.

The same process of destruction and healing was done quickly and he stabilized the energy in a few seconds before he got the system notification.

'Ding,

Please bear the pain for 30 seconds. The transfer of the stabilized essence of nature will be completed.

”What? only 30 seconds?” Ajax was shocked but his face was excited with the new system notification.

'Is it because I absorbed the previous two lightning strikes that the time was reduced to half?' Ajax was still able to think calmly with the sharp pain all over his body.

Since the time was reduced by half, Ajax related it to the only possibility and felt excited.

'The pain is reduced by a lot. Looks like I should temper my body more,'

Not only the time but the pain that was caused due to the lightning essence on his body also reduced making him think that he should continue to temper his body with the other lightning strikes.

Due to his previous two times absorbing the powerful lightning essence from the lightning strike, his body was able to absorb the lightning essence and heal the injured tissues and other inner parts of his body automatically without him doing nothing.

With this, he was able to think about many without bothering to heal the injured parts.

'This 'Special merge' skill is definitely very useful when I fight against the lightning tribulations,' Ajax still had a few seconds remaining in transferring the lightning essence of nature to the inner world. So he thought about the usefulness of the 'Special merge' skill and planned something for his future lightning tribulations.

It would have an impossible thing to absorb if not for the skill.

The reason he was able to absorb and transfer the lightning essence of nature into his body and the inner world was because of the first effect of the skill which is a 75 percent of lightning resistance.

Without that effect. Ajax knew that he would not have any chance if he did what he did with the merge.

Even the elders with high cultivation were unable to absorb the essence of nature directly and could only absorb slowly while blocking it with their evolved artifacts. So, without a doubt, Ajax would have reduced to ashes if he tried directly.

'Ding,

The transfer of the lightning essence of nature has completed.

'Ding,

Lightning resistance from the special merge has been increased by 1 percent.

”Phew...As expected,” Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and thought that his assumptions were right when he saw the system notification about the increment in the lightning resistance.
