The blinding radiance of the spell and lightning bolt combined to release a flash bright enough to light up the entire island chain.
Zephyr instinctively blinked to protect his eyes. The proximity to the light could blind him for several seconds. So, he had to blink.
At that exact moment, a thunderous cry exploded outwards, sending electric pulses along the ground. Although the necromancer had flown away to the other side of the temple island, Zephyr still felt a jolt of pain travel up his leg.
The lightning that struck the wet ground was sending an electric current into his body.
Gritting his teeth, he crouched in pain.
The villagers were further away. If the lightning couldn't kill him, they would be safe. The thought calmed his heart as he slowly opened his eyes.
Even with his eyes closed, the lightning's light had pierced through his eyelids. It took him a few seconds to see clearly.
