Chapter 545 - The Frightening Power Of Lightning
What is that black lighting? What kind of black magic is this??... Not only the imperial army but even the experts from the Forsaken were baffled and confused to see jet-black lightning streaks dancing across Damien's body instead of his usual purple lightning.
For some reason, this version of Damien's lightning seemed way more intimidating than his usual one and sent chills across their body just by looking at it.
Even Ruthren couldn't help but pause, momentarily, noticing this strange, unpleasant jet-black lightning that he couldn't even see through.
Reva wasn't surprised since she already knew Damien was Azrael and Azrael was the one who used jet-black flames to concoct pills. However, she was awed to see the sheer power behind his dark lightning, which was obviously more powerful than his usual purple lightning.
However, when they saw a large tornado of jet-black lightning forming above Damien's hands, all of them were stupefied since even the clouds seemed to be getting darker.
It was as if his powers were really affecting the weather itself! This was nothing more than manipulating the ethereal energy around the surroundings. This was something only those who broke past the Heaven Ethereal Realm could do!
"Impossible…" Ruthren couldn't help but mumble as he looked at the jet-black tornado of lightning becoming bigger and bigger and even making the air around it chaotic to the point of shredding it.
Just looking at it would make one feel as if the world around them was getting darker and darker even though it was supposed to be daylight outside.
Damien had executed his Star Illuminating Vortex skill, but this time since his cultivation had taken a huge leap, he was able to take it to the next level by manifesting a real tornado of lightning that seemed to be connected to the dark clouds above!
"Is this really a boy in the Sky Ethereal Realm?" Irene mumbled to herself since she had never once witnessed such a staggering sight in her more than thousand-year-old life, especially since she could sense that his attack's aura was stronger than someone at the First Level of the Heaven Ethereal Realm!
The imperial army stood frozen on their spot as they witnessed this jet-black tornado of lightning becoming bigger and wider while Damien was grimacing slightly under the burden of his Undying Wrath. It was way more tolerable than before, thanks to his steel-like body, allowing him to maintain Undying Wrath way longer than before as well.
"Ha!" Completing the formation of his attack, Damien let go of the tornado in the direction of the imperial army with a shout, making them widen their eyes in panic and confusion.
"Stand your ground! Don't get fooled by its size. That boy is only at the Early Levels of the Sky Ethereal Realm. Raise an ethereal shield and easily break his attack!" The golden armor commander standing behind Ruthren shouted out orders to his men as they quickly regained their senses and put up a quick defensive barrier using their collective strength.
However, the shield they put up had less durability than usual since they put it up too quickly but felt confident of stopping Damien's attack because of their commander's words.
An attack from a weak Sky Ethereal Realm cultivator would surely get destroyed by this barrier, or so they thought.
But the moment the jet-black tornado of lightning reached the ground near them, their barrier got shredded apart like paper, much to their shock, and the next moment cries of despair echoed in the region as they began to get sucked into the huge tornado.
"AAAH!!"
"NOOO!!!"
"SAVE ME!!!"
Not only Ruthren but Irene, Reva, Shania, and all the other experts were stunned to see a large portion of the imperial army getting thrown into chaos by just a single attack from Damien.
It was surely an attack that had a large range, but still, the soldiers were no pushover, and each of them had at least the same cultivation as Damien or stronger! Then how could their bodies get ripped apart by that ominous-looking lightning tornado like this? What kind of sorcery was this?
Shania felt like swallowing the words she had said to Damien before and quickly instructed her fellow cultivators to charge up their most powerful attack using the ethereal formations.
'Reva, I need a sword, quick!'
Damien wanted to summon Kalypso, but she had been through a lot not just long ago, and he didn't want to disturb her rest and hurt her soul in the process.
Reva passed a Heaven Ethereal Grade sword to Damien upon his request, and he immediately began to charge up another attack, not wanting to give a break to the imperial army.
'Star Illuminating Vortex!' This time Damien charged up the same attack but with the power of his Sword Will imbued in it to pierce through the enemies' defenses, especially on the other sides of the barrier where the imperial army had already set up a sturdy barrier after seeing his attacks.
"Hnngh!!" Damien gritted his teeth as he manifested two more jet-black lighting tornadoes, forming a total of three around him!
"Damien…" Reva felt her heart thumping in pride and love seeing her man looking so valiant and powerful before the strongest empire but yet worried, wondering if he was overtaxing himself.
But she had no idea that Damien didn't possess just Yohr's Origin Seed but a true Origin Seed of a primordial being known to be a slayer of gods!
This time the three tornadoes were not that big as the first one, but since they were imbued with his Sword Will, they were powerful enough to even cut through a mountain of steel.
"Go!" Damien shouted as he sent all three jet-black lightning tornadoes in different directions, one to the west, one to the south, and the last one to the east.
"MEN! Reinforce your barriers!" The commander frantically shouted from above, seeing four destructive jet-black lightning tornadoes laying waste to the entire battlefield!
