Chapter 316: Ch 316: Chaotic Lightning Energy
Emrys looked around and immediately noticed something was wrong.
Before, this place was filled with endless lightning bolts. They had crashed down like a storm, shaking the land again and again.
But now... everything was different.
The sky above him was no longer filled with thick, dark clouds. Instead, it was flickering between light and darkness. Sometimes, the sky looked completely normal, but the next second, it would turn dark and heavy again, filled with crackling energy.
The ground was even stranger. Before, the land had been burning and cracked, glowing with the marks of countless lightning strikes. But now, the ground was shifting. Some areas flickered in and out of existence, disappearing and reappearing as if they were illusions.
The very air felt wrong. One moment, it was thick with electricity, buzzing with power. The next moment, it was completely empty, making Emrys feel like he was standing in a void.
A deep frown appeared on his face.
"The balance of this place is broken," Emrys muttered.
He stretched out his hand, and as he did, a thin thread of silver lightning crackled between his fingers. His authority over lightning allowed him to sense the changes in this space that was filled with lightning energy.
And what he felt made his expression darken.
Not to mention the lightning energy in this domain was no longer stable, it was actually out of control, flowing wildly like a river that had broken its dam. The entire lightning domain was shaking, and if this continued, something terrible might happen.
Emrys clenched his fist, his golden eyes narrowing.
"This... might be my fault."
After absorbing the power of the silver ball, the entire lightning domain had lost its balance.
The question was: What would happen next? Would the domain collapse? Or would something even more dangerous occur?
All of a sudden, Emrys heard the sound of footsteps rushing toward him.
He turned around quickly and saw a lone figure moving fast in his direction. When he saw who it was, his eyes widened slightly.
"Serafina?"
She was running in his direction. Her red hair was flowing behind her.
But...
This place was the fourth layer of the Lightning Domain!
Even the strongest Soul Masters, like Eternal Sky Soul Masters, could not step into this place. The lightning energy here was too powerful. It would burn anything to ashes in seconds. And yet, Serafina, a Celestial Spirit Soul Demon, had entered without any problem.
Emrys quickly understood.
"This must be because the Lightning Domain is unstable!"
The energy of this place was broken. Normally, the fourth layer would reject or suppress anyone who was too weak to enter. But now, the rules were not working. That was why Serafina could come in without facing any resistance.
However, this was not a good thing.
Emrys frowned. The energy in this place was overflowing. The balance had already been destroyed. If this energy erupted, the explosion would burn everything within thousands of miles. Not even he would be safe.
And Serafina...
She was in danger.
She didn’t know how unstable this place had become. She didn’t know that at any moment, everything could be destroyed.
"She shouldn’t be here. I need to get her out before it’s too late."
Emrys immediately appeared in front of Serafina who was rushing forward, startling her deeply.
"You..."
She was shocked and unable to utter more than a single word.
Emrys didn’t mind shock. He directly said, "The lightning energy here is overwhelming and unstable. It is not good for you to stay here. The energy may erupt at any time. Leave immediately."
However, how could Serafina accept Emrys’s good intentions when she was already inside the Fourth Layer? She was very close to completing her mission. She could not leave just yet.
Shaking her head, she stated, "No, I cannot leave. You can go if you want to!"
With that, she no longer minds Emrys’s presence and continues to walk forward.
Emrys frowned.
Rumble~
All of a sudden, the ground shook heavily, causing Serafina to fall. Emrys did not fall though.
Emrys again approached Serafina and helped her up, then said, "I’ll take you out right now."
With that, without waiting for Serafina to respond, he disappeared with her. The next moment they appeared, they were already outside the Lightning Domain.
"NOOO!"
Serafina was stunned at first, but when she realized what happened just now, she shouted crazily. She didn’t know how Emrys appeared outside with her, but his action directly caused her to fail in obtaining the item she wanted.
"Do you have any idea what you have done just now? I was this close to obtaining the Dark Moon, yet your action caused me to have this opportunity. Do you even know what the Dark Moon represents? Do you have even the slightest realization of how important the Dark Moon is for me? Get lost!"
Serafina scolded Emrys fiercely and rushed to enter the Lightning Domain again.
However, before she could get close to the first layer, the lightning energy inside the domain suddenly became chaotic. The domain’s space seemed to have distorted. Lightning energy collided with distorted space and suddenly produced lightning bolts many times more destructive than the ones striking the land from the sky.
One of the lightning bolts accidentally landed on Serafina’s chest, burning her chest area thoroughly and sending her flying. Lightning sparkled around her crazily. She spurted out a mouthful of blood, but the blood also evaporated.
"Serafina!"
Emrys shouted and waved his hand, pulling Serafina towards himself. At the same time, the lightning and its burnt on her disappeared.
Without holding back, Emrys used his healing ability from his "Aura of Brilliance" to immediately heal Serafina.
Emrys’s Aura of Brilliance has six abilities. Its healing ability is something that Emrys could use more effectively on himself. As for using this ability to heal other people, although it is not impossible, the effect is not good.
However, due to the difference in strength, this healing ability was still able to heal Serafina’s wounds within one minute.
Serafina had lost her consciousness already.
Not wanting to stay here any longer, Emrys wanted to leave when he suddenly recalled that Serafina went crazy due to some "Dark Moon".
Thinking about this, he immediately released his Divine Sense, and soon discovered a moon-shaped sharp weapon at the outer area of Fourth Layer. What surprised him was that this weapon was housing strong demonic energy.
This energy was not affected even in the place overflowing with lightning energy because of sealing divine runes. These sealing divine runes had been suppressing the demonic energy inside the blade, not letting even a trace of it out.
Perhaps, this was the reason it remained unaffected all these years even under such extreme conditions.
