Chapter 169 Making The Heavens Retreat

Standing to his feet, Ray turned and looked at the others as they stood in their places, looking at him in shock. With their mouths wide open and their eyes that seemed to pop out of their eyeballs at any moment

"Why are you all looking at me as if you have seen a ghost," Ray tilted his neck and asked.

"Ahem… nothing. We are just happy that you got better," Sirius cleared his throat and spoke. Getting rid of the awkward situation, he stepped forward and hugged Ray, "Welcome back brother," Sirius said and let go of the hug.

As soon as Sirius let go of Ray, the head nurse came forward and asked, "hi.. just needed to ask if you were feeling fine?"

"To be honest, I don't feel anything wrong. Instead, I feel completely fine; to the point that my body feels as light as a feather," Ray answered, swinging his fists around and hopping up and down, Ray demonstrated to the head nurse that he was completely fine.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know," the head nurse nodded and thanked Ray as she backed off and made room for the others.

"Ray, the dean," Emma stepped forward as she spoke. Informing Ray of the whole situation, she asked, "What will you do?"

"Well, from what you told. It's something completely out of my league. However, I can't leave the dean alone, can I? Therefore, I will just go there and see how I can help," Ray answered.

"Okay," Emma nodded.

Then, turning back to Aella; Ray smiled and nodded. Conveying his message through expressions, he expressed his love through this simple gesture.

Aella nodded back to him and waved. Seeing her wave, Ray smiled and looked at the sky. Sensing the shockwaves being emitted from above, Ray pumped mana into his feet and kicked the ground as he jumped in the air.

As he gained altitude, Ray passed his bloodline energy through his mana core and started his transformation.

"Thankfully, I can handle the transformation better now. Also, this strange greenish energy covering me seems to help against the side effects and the strain that the transformation brings to my body," Ray thought as grayish-silver scales started to cover his body. His eyes also changed as his pupils gained a starry glow while a galaxy revolved within them. With Void Gauntlets and Void Bracers appearing on his forearms, a pair of wings popped out of his back.

"Flap…flap…flap…" Flapping his wings, Ray flew higher into the sky and approached the dean.

As for the dean,

Right now, the dean was constantly swinging his scythe around as he deflected the bolts of lightning that continued to descend on him.

"Accept it. You can't do anything to me and if you are thinking about tiring me out then you all are simply mistaken as I can do this all day," saying that, the dean grinned and continued to defend against the lightning bolts while the bolts of lightning only increased in number. As if to show their displeasure, even the color of the lightning darkened as it turned from the normal blueish color into a darker purplish color.

"Need any help?" Ray approached the dean and asked.

"Ray? What are you doing here? Aren't you injured?" The dean exclaimed. Not even turning around, the dean continued, "Go back. I have got everything handled. You need to rest,"

"Are you sure? Cuz you don't seem like you have got it handled," raising his eyebrow, Ray countered and added, "Don't worry about me. I am completely healed and stronger than before. Therefore, at least let me help you out a bit,"

As he said this, Ray flapped his wings and stood side by side with the dean. With both of them in the air, the lightning bolts increased in number.

From the dozens of lightning bolts that rained, the number now increased to more than a hundred. As he saw the lightning bolts approaching him and the dean, Ray took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

With his body entering a serene state of focus, Ray flapped his wings as he dashed toward the lightning bolts. Closing in on the lightning bolts, he could feel the air surrounding him shudder from the mere electrical discharge from the lightning. Not to mention the free ions in the air constantly conducting the lightning discharges, Ray felt his skin prickle while a slight numbing sensation traveled through his body.

"Nice," Ray grinned as his blood pumped in excitement. Then, he churned the mana in his body as his mana core continuously pumped mana which then traveled to the rest of his body.

With every single cell of his body filled with mana, Ray used his affinity as lightning arcs appeared on his body.

The arcs snaked around every single part of his body as they covered him fully. Looking from afar, Ray seemed to be wearing armor made of lightning but reality begged to differ.

The thing being that with each cell of his body turning to lightning, Ray had turned himself into a superconductive lightning rod.

He had gotten this idea from when he fought the goblin queen and had used spinning motion to generate which he later turned into electricity and conducted through his body. And, just like that; the lightning bolts descended and engulfed Ray.

Meanwhile,

Everyone looked from the ground as they saw Ray flap his wings and fly above the dean. They saw a lightning armor covering his whole body and right after that, he was hit by hundreds of lightning bolts that descended on him.

"Nooo!!!"

Seeing all this, Aella screamed in horror as her brain thought of the worst-case scenario that could occur whereas, Sirius and Kid smiled as they both knew what Ray had done. They both knew of this because they had seen Ray use this technique while fighting the goblin queen. However, they didn't know if it would be much useful over here or not.

Moreover, it was not just Aella who was worried for Ray, everyone was. After all, being together for so long; Ray and the others had formed a strong bond that rivaled even the best of friendships. Therefore, each member of the team cared for the other as their own brother or sister.

On the other hand, the head nurse was also worried. With tears streaming down her eyes, she took it as her fault that the kid in front of her had to suffer, after all, it was she who had taken such an outrageous oath and if not for her, they could have all made their way to the dean's office and healed Ray in peace.

In the air,

The dean looked with wide eyes as he saw Ray get engulfed by the lightning bolts. Worried, he flew higher and approached Ray in a bid to rescue him before it was too late.

However, just as he flew higher, the lightning engulfing Ray changed. From the populist color, it took a lighter color tone as the bolts of lightning were fused into one huge bolt of lightning.

From within, Ray's voice sounded as he shouted at the top of his lungs,

[Combination Magic:- Void Infernal Thunder]

Shouting out loud, the spell was activated as it took the form of a huge lightning bolt with arcs of lightning crackling around it. The core of the lightning bolt had a raging inferno while the void element covered its perimeter.

With these three elements fusing together, they formed an improved version of the highly destructive spell that had created havoc in the dungeon and it was all thanks to the excessive amount of lightning bolts that had descended on him as Ray had used them to charge his spell.

After all, Ray didn't have enough mana to use this spell and keep on fighting as he did. He might as well faint while casting the spell due to the rapid mana loss.

"Arghhhhhhhh!!!"

Propping the lightning bolt above him, Ray shouted at the top of his lungs as he threw the huge bolt of lightning into the sky.

"Zhinggg…Zhwooomm" the bolt of lightning flew in the air as it streaked through the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Due to the void element, the space itself shuddered as spatial tears appeared in the sky and combined together, forming a spatial corridor that was connected from Earth to the origin of the strange influence of the 'so-called' gods.

"Arghhh" how dare you. An angry shriek thundered in the atmosphere as the voice spoke, "how dare a mere Mortal break through the boundaries of time and space to open a spatial corridor that too forms a connection to the heavenly sanctum. For this sin, I will personally wreak havoc on your world and cleanse this world of you filthy lowly beings as a punishment," the voice receded as the skies turned to normal and the clouds disappeared. With the sun starting to shine again, the matter was resolved. However, even with the matter resolved, the dean had an awry smile on his face as great tension clouded his eyes.

"Sigh… Good work kid," The dean sighed and turned around as he congratulated Ray.
