"Yes, So open your eyes because I will demonstrate it to you only once".


    {Thank you very much}


    "Let''s start then. What do you know about lightning?".


    {...Lightning?}


    "Awooo".


    The world is shaken as the deafening sound from the wolf howling reaches the atmosphere and creates intense pressure that ms both Soma and Hina.


    Soma, who is currently in a possessed state, looks fine, but Hina is being pressured to the ground. Her body felt so heavy, as if gravity had multiplied. The defence mechanism of her body activated; it began to leak some magical power to enhance her body to lessen the pressure that struck her body, but it failed.


    However, the leaking magical power she emits coincidentally makes contact with the ring on her index finger. The ring glows for a moment before the emerald gems imbued in it crack and shatter into dust.


    Then suddenly, her body felt light because the violent wind that struck her body became calm around her and created a barrier of vortex surrounding her, and a thinyer ofpressed wind surrounded her body like a cage.


    [Wind God Ring activated remaining time 1 minute]


    The wolf, who was certain that the two humans were inside his turf, started his move. He raised her right paw with its protruding ws, ready to rip its enemy before him, rushed forward and appeared beside the Martial Saint.


    Soma, who witnessed that, became rmed as a great sense of danger started to ring all around his soul, but his shaken soul dissipated as the calm voice reached him.


    "Rx, I will deal with the wolf".


    As soon as the Martial Saint said his piece, the wolf swung its ws in a diagonal way, which the Martial Saint dodged by shifting his footstep and bending his upper body to the side. Not stopping from that, Martial Saint began to counterattack. He used one of his strong legs as an axis to spin his body around and managed tond a clean roundhouse kick toward the wolf''s side jaws.


    Soma''s body, currently being coated by a divine aura from Martial Saint, receives a huge boost in power that manages to push the wolf from his side. However, it didn''t mean that his body was invincible, for his defense was still thin, and he could die with just a single strike from the wolf. Inside, Soma, who saw everything that unfolded before him, was stunned in silence.


    "Grrr"


    "Soma focus!"


    {..Yes?!}


    As the wolf and the Martial Saint''s eyes meet, they resume their fighting in close-quarterbat. The wolf, using its speed and advantage in open space, began its relentless assault. But Martial Saint was not a pushover. He calmly dealt with the relentless attack the wolf threw at him.


    With each swing of the paw, the air shook, sending a crackling of lightning dancing in the battlefield, apanied by the gentle flow of yellow aura that managed to tame the ferocious atmosphere.


    Soma racks his brain as he interprets the word from Martial Saint given to him.


    {Hmm.. Lightning is sometimes perceived as divine wrath that is sent from heaven to punish humans in the world for daring to oppose it..}


    "...Continue.."


    {..Its appearance invokes fear for its deadly strike that could instantly kill every living being regardless of its greatness..}


    {..However, there is some belief that lightning could also bring prosperity and life to humans, for each of its strikes would bring a bountiful harvest and fertility to the ground..}


    {..When darkness and chaos erupt in the world, lightning will be sent uponnd to bring forth a light that will guide humanity to their belief in the god that exists, watching every living thing in check..}


    "Stop, stop! I didn''t ask you to exin some beliefs or some sort. You are wrong in your approach...".


    Martial Saint, who distanced himself from the wolf, began to reprimand Soma, whose exnation began to go haywire. Soma''s brain nked for a moment.


    {Um, I am sorry}


    Soma''s brain was lost because he could only think about lightning from Myth or a certain religions about God that associated themselves with lightning. He feels sorry for his blunder.


    "..Listen, Soma. Lightning is..".


    When Martial Saint tried to say his piece, the wolf d in lightning with its furious eyes began to chase him like a mad bull. Martial Saint shifts his attention aside, calmly faces the charge of the wolf ahead and manages to evade its charging attack, then prepares his stance to face another attack.


    "..There is no other way. Since I said it was special, prepare your self..".


    Soma, who is tilting his head, not understanding what the Martial Saint said, was calmly analyzing the mistake he made. Inside the space, Martial Saint lives, spreading a bountiful life, creating an Eden. Where he is residing now sitting calmly, before him, there is a small luminance like a firefly floating in the air.


    Then, the small firefly began to shoot forward in a straight line, entering his forehead.


    A flood of information began to seep itself inside his brain. It sent a jolt of neuron activity that rendered his mind for a moment paralyzed his capabilities to thinking. The process took just a second to finish, yet it feels like a long time has passed for Soma, who experienced it.


    Soma''s eyes, who shone in a golden light for a moment, vanished and were reced by his usual red eyes. He took a deep breath and then opened his mouth.


    {..In ancient times where the world was created. Lightning was the first element that appeared after the four major elements from the creation of..}


    Martial Saint, who heard that phrase, lift the corner of his mouth as he feels nostalgic hearing that phrase like it was yesterday. That came out from one of his disciples.


    {..Lightning was a type of primordial element that was directly created by the will of the heavens to help the creation of thes..}


    {..With its thunderous roar, lightning ripped through the chaos where thes were in creation. Each stroke of a lightning bolt bes a hand that guides the to form itself. With each sh, it brings light in the form of a sh into the dark world. Land was created exuding strong maic fields.


    Help in vaporize the freeze form of solid liquid into creating a water body that inhabits the for its to flourished thend, and helps in holding the first massive energy that inhabits the core sustaining the life of the within..}


    {..As the elements that spark the life of a itself. Lightning was a Special element itself with its massive raw power that promised infinite possibility, that could bring creation or destruction of other elements, that was born as the core for creation. Because the lightning itself was created for the purpose of guiding all of the elements in the universe..}


    {"Lightning was the source of bnce in the universe"}


    Simultaneously, while Martial Saint was busy dodging every wolf''s attempt to kill him, also Soma, who received the forceful enlightenment from Martial Saint, said theplete sentence that described their knowledge about lightning.


    {... That was}


    Soma, who realized what he had done, has a bewilderment on his face, for he is showing the creation of the world itself. What the martial saint gave to him was not the simple words that he spit from his mouth earlier. But it was more horrifying and more deep. He was being shown an image of the''s creation.


    Soma, who was inside the Eden, seeing the process in his eyes, dropped down on his knees and gasped for breath


    [Mental Enhancement 7 activated]


    "Well done, surviving that".


    The wolf aggressively began to attack, d in silver lightning and rushed forward like a missile while striking the ground and charred it to crisp.


    {Ha,, ha,, ha,,}


    "..Soma, let''s proceed to the next phase".


    Ignoring Soma, who was still gasping for breath, Martial Saint began his next lecture. Martial Saint, who is dodging the wolf attack, starts to form a n for a counterattack as it closes the distance between them. The wolf shrunk his gaze because of its failed attempt at killing its enemies. The wolf summoned forth a downpour of rain of lightning that scattered randomly on the ground.


    "Awoooo".


    With fluid motion, Martial Saint calmly perceives every lightning that strikes the ground. He keeps dodging the lightning with minimal movement while closing the distance between them. Then, after dodging the relentless downpour of lightning, Martial Saint arrived at the wolf attack range.


    However, the wolf already predicted all of that as the surrounding ground shone, d in silver color, and it also happened below Martial Saint''s feet.


    "Awoo".


    The wolf howled toward heaven as the signal. With a deafening roar that reverberated across thendscape, a colossal bolt of lightning, thick as a mighty pir, descended from the ck sky like the wrath of the gods themselves. Its blinding brilliance illuminated the darkened skies, casting stark shadows upon the trembling earth below.


    As it struck thend, the very ground seemed to tremble in submission, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.


    {Martial Saint?!}


    Soma''s worried voice got washed away by the blinding sh that burned his retina. While the wolf smiles in triumph, he finally manages to kill the slippery eel in front of him.
