Chapter 559 - 559: Clash Of Lightning
The house door was opened by a beastkin who grew stunned at the sight of two High Beasts.
"We need to stay at your house for a few hours. Do you have a problem with it?" Salazar asked. At the same time, he barged inside the house without even waiting for the response.
"You two stay here! No one is to leave the house until the battle is over!" Salazar strictly reminded Jenilia. "I'll go and help. Remember, no noise until we're back!"
He prepared to leave but stopped as he turned around.
"That sword?" He walked closer to the Sword hanging on the wall.
"This sword was a gift from a High Beast to my great grandfather. It's a family heirloom." The Owner of the house stepped closer to the wall.
Salazar touched the sword, feeling its blade which was so sharp that it could even slice metal like butter.
"I'll be borrowing your sword for a little." He picked the sword.
"B-but..."
"I said I'm borrowing it. I'll return it soon. Do you not trust High Beast like me?" Salazar asked. "Moreover, my people are staying in your house. When I come to take them, I'll return the sword."
He opened the gate and left the house, and ran back to Gon's house.
Inside the house, Ro was still trapped inside a small barrier, unable to break it. A bullet was lying on the ground near his feet.
As Ro was talking about the weakness of Jenilia, Salazar had used the gun to cast a barrier to trap Ro momentarily so he could allow Gon to escape without being seen.
"What now? Gon escaped. And he should be in the Snow Clan soon. What can you do now?" Salazar asked, smirking.
"Let me out once, and I'll show you! What kind of coward are you? You have to keep me trapped since you're not brave enough to fight me?"
"Is that mocking supposed to work? Think of it as a test for you. How can you face a High Beast when you can't even come out of an ordinary barrier of ours? If you pass the test, you'll be allowed to face me," Salazar smirked.
"You!" Ro smacked the barrier, unable to break it. Even though the barrier was weak from the outside, it was still plenty strong from the inside. It wasn't going to break until its time ran out.
Still, the barrier had already started weakening as ten minutes were almost over.
...
Outside the house, the battle was only growing more intense as Lucifer took off his cloak to not get it damaged.
He was dealing with a lightning beast, so he didn't need to have the damage lowering abilities of the cloak. Moreover, the teeth of the Lion were too sharp. It could easily rip the cloak.
Lucifer tossed the cloak to the side, revealing his blood covered white shirt.
There were over forty Thunder Lions surrounding Lucifer, only one being real. The other Thunder Lions were made from lightning, but even they were strong.
The Thunder Lions flew left and right as Lucifer kept attacking them. At the same time, his own wounds were increasing as the Thunder Lions kept biting him, intending to bite his head off.
Lucifer protected his head, but he couldn't protect the rest of his body to that accuracy. Moreover, as soon as the teeth of the Thunder Beasts stabbed his body, their electricity entered his body.
If it was anyone else, the electricity could have destroyed the body, but his own lightning protected him.
Only the fake Thunder Lions were attacking Lucifer so far, but mixed in them was the real Thunder Lion who finally attacked Lucifer.
Tens of lightning spears appeared around him, which surrounded Lucifer from all sides, leaving no escape. All the lightning spears flew towards him, impaling his body.
"Then so be it!" Lucifer declared, recognizing the real Thunder Lion. Even though lightning didn't hurt him, since this guy was playing with lightning so much, he decided to show him his own lightning, despite knowing it was weak against the Thunder Lion.
Sky grew dark, covered in clouds out of nowhere.
Boom!
With a roaring sound, a powerful lightning bolt fell from the sky.
The Thunder Lion looked up, finding a strange black lightning bolt falling towards him.
He tried jumping back, only to find him unable to move. A barrier had appeared around him, trapping his legs, making him unable to escape.
The Thunder Lion opened his mouth wide, glaring at the lightning bolt.
A massive bolt of lightning came out of his mouth, unlike anything before. The massive bolt took the shape of a blue lightning lion which flew to the black lightning bolt.
The black bolt clashed with the massive thunder lion in the sky.
Boom~
As two lightning clashed, a crashing sound spread far and wide. Sparkles flew everywhere as the blue lion was destroyed. The black lightning bolt was also destroyed in the process.
The show of lightning in the sky was seen far and wide though. Even Amelia, who was in her room, was attracted by it. She looked in the sky, seeing sparkles fly everywhere.
"Thunder Lion's lightning? But what was that black lightning? Who was he facing? Could it be... Him?" She opened the window and jumped outside, turning into a flaming phoenix that flew towards the battle site.
At the same time, Hun had finished arranging the mattresses for Lucifer. He also explained to his mother that Lucifer wouldn't be staying here for a little while.
He had just left the house to go back to Lucifer when he saw the battle of lightning in the sky.
"That... Thunder Lion clan? Who are they facing? I don't think there are any other lightning Beasts in the city with that much power? So who was using the black lightning that destroyed the blue lightning lion? Could it be... Oh no!"
He changed shape, returned to his Snow Lion form, and started running towards the place where he had left Lucifer. He had seen Lynx oppose Lucifer's stay here. It wasn't going to be shocking if those two were fighting!
Unfortunately, his house was the farthest from that place, so even if he traveled at his fastest speed, it was going to take a long time for him to get there
The Golden Rhino clan heir was also in a market, shopping for something, when he saw the lightning clash in the sky.
"Lynx? Who is he fighting? Could it be those foreigners?" He also changed to his real form as he started running towards the clash zone, making the earth shake with each of his steps.
