Chapter 494 - Damn It! I'm F**ked!
Buzz! Bang!
A lightning bolt struck a tree, breaking it apart.
"You're doing it wrong. Although this attack seems to have destructive power, it's only on the surface," The lady said to Grey who was panting, his expression was one of exhaustion.
"I've tried it over fifty times, can I rest a little?" Grey asked, gasping for breath.
"No, if you continue this way, you're not going to be any good," The lady shook her head.
After saying this, Void appeared beside her, with a piece of meat on his paws.
"Thank you, I'm starving!" The lady said, caressing Void's back as she collected the meat from him.
Grey swallowed when he saw this. He had been trying to get the technique the lady was teaching him since he woke up, but it was already well over midday, yet he still hadn't been able to.
The lady hasn't given a single chance to rest, telling him to repeat it continuously. According to her, after striking with the lightning element countless times, one would get attuned to the ways of the element.
Grey on the other hand preferred learning at a slow pace. He had never been a fast learner, but persistence and quick thinking has always made training new techniques easy for him. He needed time to think, but the lady isn't willing to give him any.
With no other choice, he was forced to continue practicing the technique. According to what the lady told him, if he could master this technique, it would greatly improve the destructive power of his lightning element. He could even implement the skill on his other elements as well. Not just that, but it also consumed lesser essence as well.
This skill required making the lightning's power go sink into the body of the target, sending out the destructive power from the inside. It would make defending against it extra tasking on the opponent.
When the lady gave an example of the skill, Grey was left dumbstruck by its power. The boulder she attacked exploded, literally from the inside out. Unlike his attack which would only do damage from the outside, then maybe barely striking deep, this attack completely destroyed the boulder.
Three days soon went by, and the one week time Grey was given was up. He was currently standing in the middle of the field, around him were multiple ice statues.
He inhaled softly, before opening his closed eyes. A streak of lightning flashed across his eyes, he pointed in the direction of the ice statue in front of him as a lightning bolt shot towards it.
Buzz! Bam!
The lightning hit the ice statue on the chest, and within a matter of seconds.
Bang!
It exploded, bursting apart from the inside.
More lightning bolts appeared in the sky, shooting towards the rest of the ice statues in the field.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, the ice statues started to explode, just like the first one.
"Good job, you're right on time," The lady said from the side.
Grey turned to look at her with his calm eyes, with a gentle nod, he indicated that he was ready for the battle.
Just as they were about to leave, he recalled a piece of vital information.
"Since I'll be fighting alone, will I have to fight them one by one? And if it's one by one, how many people would I need to fight?" He asked.
"We'll know the number of people when we get there," The lady shrugged.
'Damn it! I'm f**ked!' Grey cursed internally.
