A relentless downpour of lightning lashed at Ethan without mercy.
He felt like a lone boat tossed in a stormy sea, his body shuddering violently under the assault.
For some reason, the Five-Colored Divine Light that should have automatically protected him was conspicuously absent this time.
Yet, Ethan realized that as each furious bolt struck his skin and exploded, it failed to break through. Not a single one could pierce his defenses.
This gave him a new appreciation for his own resilience. His natural defense was even tougher than Ormund's had been. He remembered seeing Ormund battered by similar lightning, his body blooming with bloody wounds where the bolts hit.
But this Annihilating Lightning was not so simple. While it didn't break his skin, an endless, destructive energy seeped through his pores, forcing its way deep into his body.
