"Me? Lower beasts? Have you become mad after looking at the magnificent display that we are watching? Now you think you are better than us just because you are watching a divine being breakthrough? Are you stupid?
" A wind wolf growled towards another.
n
"SILENCE
" A sky-shattering voice shot in all directions, causing everything from trees to rocks from the mountain to become uprooted while at the same time, throwing all the beasts either off balance or away from the mountain.
n
"A crystallization stage...
" One muttered, fright evident in both his voice and eyes.
n
"The divine being is trying to breakthrough! Do not become a distraction you filthy lower animals
" A black panther with lighting coursing along with its fur roared as it appeared near3 the top of the mountain out of thin air.
n
"SILENCE YOURSELF OR BEGONE!
" The panther roared again, this time causing a few beasts to feint while others began to feel their knees beginning to buckle under the weight of their bodies.
n*BOOM*
nThe next instant, something completely unexpected occurred.
nThe once multi-colored rainbow tornado vertexing around me had completely stopped moving, however, within the blink of an eye, all the different, all the elemental particles that had once been circulating me began to merge into a single golden particle that was radiating a terrifying amount of energy.
nIn the same instant, the vortex shrunk to about a 5th of its size, but now instead of just causing winds and clouds to cortex around me and above me, it caused the clouds to become golden while the winds became filled with mana.
nStorms began to awaken all around me, tornados forming in the middle of forests out of thin air while golden lighting bolts shot down from the skies and scorched all land within a 25-meter radius of its landing area, causing large forest fires to spread out from them.
nAll the beasts, including the panther, looked at this display with shock in their eyes, but after feeling the danger that each lighting bolt came with, alongside the tornadoes and the tree cutting winds, they all became wary of their surroundings and immediately went on guard.
n*RUMBLE*
n*BOOM*
nA random lightning bolt shot towards me, but due to me having a golden vortex of mana around me, all that occurred was the absorption of the lighting bolt into the vortex and being turned into mana that I would eventually absorb.
n*RUMBLE*
n*BOOM*
nAnother lightning bolt was sent down, however, instead of going towards me, it went towards the nearest person to the sky and that just happened to be the panther.
nHowever, to everyone's surprise, even though the lighting bolt seemed to have moved at the speed of light towards the panther, it only took him a single blink of the eye to appear to disappear and appear again almost 900 meters away
nIn the next 5 minutes, countless lightning bolts rained down from the skies, scorching the lands and turning beasts into ashes with a single flash of light.
nAfter the lighting finally began to calm down a little, only 5 beasts were left, two of them being at the peak of the solidus stage while the other three were slightly lower. However, even with their cultivation stages, their mana signatures had become extremely weak while their bodies looked ragged with scorch marks and wounds.
n'That divine being... To think that a breakthrough would cause this much damage... She must be in the crystallization stage, if not higher...'
nAs they were standing there breathing in and out heavily, an unscathed black panther appeared out of thin air, causing all of them to retreat a few steps while gritting their teeth due to the pain moving caused them.
n
"I see. She is almost done... To think she would cause this kind of commotion even at a lower stage. Truly amazing
" The black panther nodded in acceptance and pride as if it was his student breaking through and not some random divine being that he had met half a month back.
nAround 30 minutes had passed the vortex of energy had only become thinner and smaller in size.
nIt had become so thin that one could see right through it, allowing them to look directly at the beautiful figure floating mid-air.
nI looked like a literal goddess.
n*Swoosh*
nThe sound of the wind whistling as someone flew against it rang out in the silent forest. Even though those beasts at their ragged states could not hear it, the Panther had felt the presence coming closer and closer from the city that I was in.
n'A Darkness mage? At the peak of the Liquidus stage too' The panther looked in the direction and nodded its head slightly.
nAfter a while, the figure had become visible for everyone to see, while at the same time, also becoming visible to me too.
nWith one last push, I had absorbed the remaining energy into my body with a single breath, allowing the clouds to finally stop rotating above me while clearing up the rest of the mana winds and divine mana that had been circulating me.
nFinally, I opened my eyes while I still floated mid-air before looking in the distance.
n
"Rose?
" I couldn't help but exclaim out loud, but my focus was quickly switched towards the fact that I was floating mid-air, causing me to immediately fall towards the ground.
nTo my surprise, however, as my body descended, something took over me and I instantly move my entire body before shooting a gust of air towards the ground, catapulting me up and allowing me to solidify the air under my feet into a sheet, finally allowing me to literally stand on thin air.
n
"HEY ROSE
" I called out and waved her, making her halt her movement and look at me with a questioning and even slightly enraged glare.
nAt the same time, all the ragged-looking beasts looked at me with the same eyes as her, trying to see through my strength, yet for some reason, they could not feel anything coming from me. Not a single mana fluctuation nor any soul energy seeping out of my body at the smallest of amounts... Nothing.
nSuddenly, I stopped waving and looked at the area around me.
nThe next second, my smile twitched as slowly muttered...
n
"Where the ** am I?
"
