Chapter 58 Alternative Usage Of The Lightning Magic

As the voice appeared, everyone looked over. Vern, who was sitting on the Magical Beast, did the same. In a huge and exquisite treehouse not far away, a young boy not more than twelve years of age donned in a purple magic robe was standing at the door. Under the moonlight, Vern raised the torch in his hand and chuckled.

"Oh, so it's just a half-baked mage apprentice?" He turned his head and asked Wenda. "I thought you didn't welcome us here, why is there a human mage apprentice living in your treehouse? Are you looking down on me?"

"That's our distinguished guest, what right do you have to compete with him?!" Wenda instantly retaliated to Vern's insult.

"Yeah! Who are you and why do we need to care?" It was as if Vern's words had provoked the boiling point of the elves and everyone began to berate him. However, their words didn't make Vern waver at all and it was only making the already arrogant and despotic Vern feel a sense of ferocity in his heart.

"Oh, your distinguished guest. Well, I want to see just how distinguished your guest is!" As he spoke, Vern threw out a lightning ball with a purple light that flew straight towards Sade. No one expected Vern to be so disgusting that he would've hurt a child just to prove his ego.

Sade was also surprised. After all, he had just slept soundly when suddenly there was a burst of heavy horse hooves, followed by a whole lot of noise. He was sleeping in a treehouse in his peaceful silence, but a loud noise had woken him up. As soon as he got up to see what had happened outside of the treehouse, he saw Wenda arguing with some uninvited guests. Sade wanted to know what was happening and he only asked, he wasn't expecting that Vern would pull an attack on him like that. Sade, who was completely in a daze from sleepiness and confusion, was hit directly with a lightning ball that was thrown from Vern.

In an instant, purple lightning surrounded Sade, and everyone who saw what was happening was worried about Sade's safety. He was only a child and the lightning spell was proven to be too much even for an adult.

"I'll fight you!" Wenda was the first to explode. He raised the wooden staff in his hand and cast a high-level spell called 'Nature Impact', at Vern. A majestic green light shot straight at Vern, however, Vern blocked it with a lightning ball.

Boom!

The collision of the two forces spread out with a shocking impact, a loud explosion noise was audible throughout the village.

"We're under attack!" In an instant, all the elves that were sleeping in the Elf Village were awakened. They all took up their weapons and rushed out. A loud voice was audible as the elves in the village were getting ready. Dozens of elves rushed out of the treehouse and rushed toward the direction of the explosion. At the same time, the sinister man with strange eyes who came with Vern also heard the loud explosion. In an instant, a sound was heard in his head.

"D*mn it! A useless piece of garbage who can't do anything but is always ruining everything!" He cursed Vern quietly. The sinister man with strange eyes and a few others took out their magic staffs one after another and cast a speed-increasing spell on themselves, rushing over as if they were flying to the area of the explosion.

For a moment, Vern, who was just fighting with Wenda alone a moment ago, was now instantly surrounded by a group of elves. At this moment, even Vern, who was arrogant just a moment ago, began to panic. He hurriedly took his Magical Beast and turned around and try to escape but he did not expect that he was already being surrounded by elves behind him. Vern felt that his life was in danger. He immediately summoned all the magical power in his body and threw the numbers lightning at the elves in front of him.

Vern expected that the elves would be killed by the lightning balls. Something strange had happened though, as Vern's lightning touched the elves, there was no explosion and no lightning strike at all. Instead, these lightning balls were like rubber balls, as they hit the elves the lightning had bounced and flew straight back to Vern. Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Vern who was extremely confused. As the lightning was about to hit Vern, a sound rang out through the village once again.

"Mercy!!!" Vern screamed out in fear as four to five figures were appearing. They blocked Vern's path and bounced the balls of lightning into the air. These men were the sinister man with strange, triangular eyes and his men. After the balls of lightning were deflected, Vern did not show any hostility. Instead, the sinister man turned around and slapped Vern with his big mouth!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

"What the hell? Aren't you one of us? Why are you hitting me, you should be attacking them!" Vern was angry about getting slapped.

"Even my parents had never hit me before. If you want to hit me, you should instead help me beat them!" Vern's eyes widened as if he wanted to beat someone up. His arrogance and entitlement blinded him from seeing why he was being slapped.

"Shut up!" The sinister man stopped Vern. He was angered by Vern's stubbornness and his triangular eyes were filled with contempt.

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused? This is the elves' territory!" The sinister man kept frowning at Vern, signaling him to quit his foolish and disrespecting behavior. Vern who was now sobering up quickly lowered his head and swallowed up his mistake. The sinister man got a rough idea of the citation that happened from everyone's words, he ended up despising Vern even more. He saw Vern as nothing but a burden and immediately apologized to the elves. However, the elves did not accept their apology at all. However, what they did not know was that a pair of bright eyes had already seen the two people's every move. Sade stood at the side when he saw the two b*astards colluding together, his eyes turned red with viciousness.

"D*mn it..." Originally, Sade was still in a daze after being struck by this lightning ball, he was instantly electrocuted. He didn't sustain any physical damage, however.

Sade's purple mage robe was made from the fur of Magical Beast that subdued lightning elements that Prescott had killed previously. As a King-tier beast, especially, lightning-element-based Magical Beast, their fur and hide were known to be the best material for mage robes. Any lightning-based attacks that were lower than that of the Grand Magister-level wouldn't be able to harm Sade at all.

When Vern saw Sade, alive and well, he couldn't help but be shocked. After all, he used a lightning ball on Sade, how could Sade possibly be fine after that attack? Sade didn't plan to enlighten Vern, he was happy to let Vern drown in his confusion and wanted him to taste defeat. As a lightning-based high-level Magister, Sade knew that Vern had a strong resistance to lightning. That was the reason why Sade wanted to use the lightning element to mildly hurt Vern to let him have a taste of his poison.

Sade clenched his fist as he was standing in front of him, Vern did not understand what the little boy was trying to do. Suddenly, there was a loud boom in the sky. Terrifying purple lightning struck down from the sky and hit Vern. Vern was now charred black and his Magical Beast that he was riding with was so shocked that it had become incontinent. As Vern lost consciousness, his entire body uncontrollably fell to the ground that was covered with urine and feces of the Magical Beast.

Sade believed that Vern would be much better after the electric shock therapy that Sade had given to him. After all, lightning magic has great usage and anyone could have benefited mankind if they were to learn it. However, Sade didn't notice that while he was making a move, attacking Vern. The sinister man saw him and he was shaken to his core.
