Although still fearful of the Might of the Divine Power above him, Kai immediately released Montaro from his coil and, with a forceful flick, sent him flying down the mountain.
Just before Montaro hit the ground, his body was enveloped by a layer of mystic light, which gently cushioned his fall, safely guiding him to the earth.
Once he confirmed that his destined companion would no longer be affected by the calamity lightning, Kai quickly began gathering his supernatural energy.
The supernatural power wrapped tightly around the glowing scales on his body, and the light from the scales turned extraordinarily hard. It was the armor he forged for himself.
Then, one by one, barriers began to rise around him.
He had to undergo the calamity lightning to evolve into a dragon, but he couldn't afford to die like his mother had.
He could only hope that the barriers he had erected with all his might would be enough to shield him from the coming impact.
Not far away, Benjamin saw this and raised his hand. A few points of golden light shot toward Kai, landing on the barriers he had raised, reinforcing them with an added layer of golden radiance.
Kai was deeply moved but too high-strung to relax for even a moment.
The calamity lightning gathered once more above his head, and this time, three bolts struck together.
Three bolts of fire lightning came toward him, but Shannon was prepared. Three bolts of supernatural lightning met them in the air, causing a violent explosion of lightning and fire.
This time, however, the fire lightning didn't fully dissipate. One of the weakened flashes of calamity lightning, reduced in power, struck the barrier protecting Kai.
The barrier instantly cracked, but it didn't reach his body.
After two successive bolts of calamity lightning were blocked, the Divine Power seemed enraged.
The dark clouds above Kai churned rapidly, and bolts of lightning crackled ominously within the storm clouds as if brewing with destructive power.
Kai felt the same overwhelming, dangerous force for the third time.
Whether it was the wyrm evolving into a dragon or the actions of the replicated artifacts, such acts were intolerable to the Divine Power itself.
Coupled with the two disruptions of supernatural lightning, the Divine Power was clearly enraged.
A deafening crack echoed through the sky and earth.
The endless calamity lightning poured down like a storm, densely packed bolts of thunder and fire almost submerging the entire forest.
The villagers below and the arriving firefighters stood frozen, staring in awe at the scene before them—something out of a fantastical apocalyptic world.
Everyone felt their hearts tremble with fear.
Amid the thunderous storm of rain and lightning, it was as if the ground itself trembled. With each continuous explosion, the crowd vaguely heard a deep, clear cry in the air.
The sound was unmistakable. It was the dragon's roar.
