CHAPTER 630: CHAPTER 423: STORM THUNDER

Thunder, lightning, thunderstorm...

Describe it however you like; at any rate, what is before the crowd’s eyes is a thunderstorm of unimaginable scale.

[Storm Thunder]

[Alliance of Ancient Dragon, Miracle of Nameless King, able to summon intense thunderstorm]

[Once a Dragon Hunting War God, in his later years he befriended the Storm Dragon. This miracle is about their story]

The weather changed colors for it, and even if its power was reduced, countless bolts of lightning still extended several miles.

The Storm Thunder, rivaling Gwyn’s [Sunlight Spear] in power, was even more awe-inspiring in its display and visual effect.

"Thunder Protection, quickly use Thunder Protection, or shield with plants too!" Matilda’s cold sweat poured down.

"Also add thermal protection, no, adding anything might be pointless..."

Fingerley looked at the Nameless King raising the Dragon Hunting Sword Spear in the storm, and couldn’t help but feel the intense thought "unable to contend with this presence."

Even when seeing the Sword Saint, he’d want to spar; for the first time the thought of not wanting to contend arose.

The attitude of a War God was simply so overwhelming that it erased any thought of combat.

"Boom!"

Endless thunder crashed down, making his heart skip a beat, the lightning illuminating everyone’s stunned or panicked faces.

The Storm Thunder transformed everything outside their standing ground into thunder, not out of mercy for not striking them, but it sealed their escape route!

The Nameless King’s towering figure finally hurled the Thunder Spear.

Using more powerful adjectives to describe this Thunder Spear becomes meaningless, just know that this Thunder Spear is so mighty it can obliterate all enemies!

The speed of the Thunder Spear was astonishing, yet in Fingerley’s eyes, as it was about to hit, it seemed to slow down.

There’s an expression that when facing intense life-and-death crises, the mind accelerates wildly, yet the body may not keep up with the mind’s acceleration, leading people to have flashes of past memories.

Commonly known as a revolving lantern.

However, Fingerley wasn’t thinking about his life memories, but rather...

My heavens, this absurd strength of the Nameless King should definitely be able to blast Elderly and Shalivan down hard!

When he saw the Nameless King’s appearance, he already confirmed that this was the Sun Elder Son, the elder brother who Gwendolin had left home.

What a pity, if he were still in the Royal City, characters like Elderly wouldn’t dare act up.

Fingerley recalled debating with Selene, saying he must attempt to place Gwendolin on a different story path, so he quickly pulled out the Yurshika Holy Bell, raising it towards the Nameless King.

If Gwendolin reacted differently upon seeing the Yurshika Holy Bell, what about the Nameless King?

Could a miracle——

"Boom!"

The raging thunder swallowed his vision, plunging everything into darkness.

Before losing consciousness, he even briefly smelled the aroma of roasted meat, though it was quickly overshadowed by a thick burnt odor.

Ah, suddenly so craving for roasted meat...

The Thunder Spear directly struck Fingerley, in a blink he became a corpse, turning to ash and returning to the bonfire.

Soon after, Hasavi Team and Selene simultaneously opened their eyes at the bonfire.

"Ooh—"

The people didn’t immediately jump up vibrant and lively, nor did they succumb to depression over their weakness, rather...

Collectively trembling as if still being stimulated by electricity? Even making strange sounds.

The sensation at the moment of death, although revived, still left a slight lingering effect in the brain, not dissipating immediately after revival.

Thus they fell into this brief, self-imagined "electrotherapy" in their minds.

Of course, there was also the fact that the Nameless King’s thunder really was too powerful.

While the group was immersed in the aftermath of the thunder, at the same time in the City Lord’s room.

"The Storm Dragon’s expressiveness is quite alright, the atmosphere constructed is excellent, let’s leave it like this for now, no need to change more." Gong Qiying, repeatedly replaying the battle between Hasavi Team and the Nameless King on the Crystal Ball, said this wasn’t really a battle, not even turn-based counted.

Can a one-sided instant kill really be considered a battle?

However, it also highlighted the strength of the Nameless King.

How to shape the image of a powerful God? The most straightforward way is to showcase their power, show their unmatched might.

Gong Qiying felt he had done quite well.

Scattered around him were a few letters, mostly from the Dungeon Lord Red Teeth and Asta Alliance.

Previously, he mentioned having some ideas about the Warrior Country, so afterwards he inquired about that country’s information from several Dungeon Lords he knew, wanting to know if there were any usable dungeons.

Asta Alliance mentioned a Dungeon Lord suspected of being disloyal to humanity, but the dungeon had fought a while ago with Glory Dungeon, both sides matched equally and a tie resulted, currently both under protection period, no declaration of war allowed.

Red Teeth found two usable abandoned dungeons, but the position was awkward, one right next to Giant Stone Dungeon, another somewhat remote, no wonder no Dungeon Lord favored them until now.

Gong Qiying was pondering over these dungeons, leaning towards declaring war on the one that was "suspected of being disloyal to humanity" after its protection period ended.

After all, it would be awkward to set up his branch near the Giant Stone Dungeon where they’ve been on good terms, especially since the Giant Stone City Lord was a pretty warmhearted fellow.

Apart from letters related to the search for the Sain Dungeon branch, there was also a letter from the Bonds Dungeon.

This was a mass-sent letter, and its content was as follows:

[To all City Lords]

[I have taken over a dungeon in the southeastern coastal country of "Red." The sealed item "Hidden Blood Parasite" that escaped from there has reappeared and is causing trouble. I intend to reseal it and am prepared, but to prevent unforeseen circumstances, I am requesting the aid of all city lords.]

[Everything is currently normal, but if any changes occur, I will send out another letter seeking assistance.]

After reading the letter, Gong Qiying specifically went to investigate information about this country named "Red," learning that it was a small coastal nation with little worth mentioning besides seafood. Even the disturbance caused by the sealed item was casually glossed over as a "parasite-type monster disturbance" in reports, and there were no further mentions thereafter.

No one even pays attention to such a small country.

It seems that due to some special body constitution, the Red country’s people have a slower cultivation aptitude compared to elsewhere, although they are skillful in handcrafts, their level is similar to dwarves, so people naturally prefer the strength of dwarves.

Only the Warrior Country seemed to have sent a small group to help Red suppress the monster disturbance, and it’s unclear what the current result is.

This Red country was the one previously disturbed by an unknown entity from above the Star Sky.

"It’s over."

Gong Qiying organized the various materials and casually collected the scattered letters. At the moment, his Crystal Ball displayed the image of a brown-haired woman.

She was the expert who followed the Holy Light Church’s people into the No Light Area. Gong Qiying had given her special attention then, and her mental state seemed to have changed a bit upon coming out.

Gong Qiying did not disperse the pressure influence on Bright Light like he did for others who entered the No Light Area, but retained a portion that was roughly harmless to her but not so for the Holy Light Church.

For instance, perhaps her faith might get a little skewed.

Currently, Bright Light had returned to the Holy Light Church, and no new updates had been received.

However, after that No Light Area incident, the Holy Light Church in Bed City completely settled down and stopped bouncing around, which indicated that Sain Dungeon’s response to their provocation was successful, and that was a good thing overall.

"Recently everything happening has been good."

Gong Qiying massaged his brow, glanced at the clock, and contemplated where to wander around after "getting off work" in a while.

At the same time.

Fingerley’s group had already recovered from the aftermath of electric therapy, with expressions on their faces showing a "lingering aftertaste."

"Is everyone okay?"

Fingerley, holding his forehead, inquired about everyone, himself feeling a tingly numbness in his head.

Matilda shook her head; she was carrying Havier’s Shield, which absorbed some of the thunder and she wasn’t too affected.

Meanwhile, Aleya had already started cultivating anti-lightning strike plants, truly a proactive individual.

What about the Princess?

"Princess, are you..."

The last word "okay" wasn’t even said when Fingerley fell into an eerie silence.

Because he saw Selene clasping her hands together bashfully and mumbling softly, "As expected of Ornstein’s comrade, such passionate thunder... By the way, being killed by thunder other than Ornstein’s feels a bit like cheating."

...Never mind, I won’t ask, she seems perfectly normal.

Fingerley silently turned away, looking at the lightly struck Yurshika Holy Bell in his hand, wondering why the Nameless King had no reaction to it.

Could it be that he didn’t recognize it? But it was his sister’s item, so it shouldn’t be unrecognizable, right?

Speaking of which, he also had no reaction to my Dark Moon Sword vow.

Fingerley suddenly had a bold idea:

Could it be that the Nameless King is actually a battle maniac, completely engrossed in combat?

It doesn’t seem impossible, after all, he is the Dragon Hunting War God...

"What’s the matter, you look a bit dejected." Selene’s voice sounded from behind.

Fingerley shared his thoughts with her.

"Maybe the Nameless King didn’t get a good look just now."

Selene waggled her finger and said, "There’s still some time left, why not go again and bring out the Holy Bell right away upon meeting."

This suggestion received Fingerley’s approval, but he suspiciously asked:

"Wait a minute, didn’t you say you wanted to go back to the Royal Palace? Why do you want to join us again?"

Upon hearing this, the Princess replied earnestly:

"I haven’t found Ornstein yet, my sixth sense tells me I can definitely find his traces here!"

"Really? Be truthful," Fingerley doubted it was that simple.

"Um..."

Selene blushed, embarrassedly saying:

"Also, I want to admire the demeanor of the Nameless King once more."
