Peridot can no longer cast any spells as the providence lighting damaged her mana circuits. She received a notification that stated that she cannot cast any spells for two hours due to the damage. The providence lightning is definitely a higher power as it could even damage the mana circuits of the most well-built mana circuit race which are dragons.
Lightning once again poured down towards them and it was Kabrakan that shouldered the burden this time. He covered himself with earth to make sure that he can let the ground siphon the rest of the energy. Kabrakan fused with his Wilde Soul to add another layer of magical protection.
The vines did not immediately cover them despite Levin Cloud's attempts to seal the hole as fast as possible. This led to Kabrakan to eat up all the lighting that was supposed to hit them. With his body as an anchor for the lightning, Kabrakan tanked all of it in one blow.
The lightning coursed through the body of Kabrakan as some of it was dispersed with the ground as he planted his feet on the ground. Kabrakan could be seen struggling until he transformed to his beast form which made him look more like a minotaur. The lightning attack soon died down but a very smoky smell could be felt whiffing in the air.

Adrian looked closer at Kabrakan as he knew that he was not dead but it seems that he is stunned to the point that his body could not move. With a loud thud, Kabrakan's body crashed on the ground as he could not move. His whole body refused to listen to him despite him still being alive and conscious.
[Your team member, Kabrakan, has been permanently stunned for half an hour due to the power of the attack that he received.]
"Saena!" Adrian commanded as Peridot stated that she could recuperate on her own.
Saena immediately flew towards Kabrakan and started the healing process. Kabrakan was not immediately healed of the status affliction as it was made by a superior energy. Even Saena needs at least ten minutes to fully heal Kabrakan as the energy that the lightning was made of is vastly superior to her sun energy.
"Another round is coming!" Adrian stated as he knew that this would be his turn to defend them against the lightning.
Levin Cloud tried to cover them once more with vines but it was slow as the energy of the forest started to dissipate. He can pull more but that would mean that the forest itself will die from the sudden exhaustion of energy. Adrian told Levin Cloud that he will be the one that will take care of the next one.
"Kimat! You know what to do." Adrian stated as Kimat suddenly grew to his original size.
A large white tiger with sparks of blue lightning is suddenly covered with silver armor. KImat roared at the thunder clouds above as if challenging it to a battle. Kimat is not alone though as Charon dug its chains deep into the ground and tapped into a ley line. Charon absorbed some of the natural energy of the ley line to create layers of barrier for Kimat.
Adrian also changed to his Aetheros form as he needed to strengthen the defenses of Kimat. Sirius covered Kimat with layers of shadow while Kanlaon created six elemental barriers above the former. Dodu jiggled as it was ready to take on the damage that might kill Kimat while Wisteria used some of her life to actually create energy for the forest which revitalized it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith the forest suddenly getting a large amount of energy from Wisteria as she has access to Aether energy, Levin Cloud could make use of it to strengthen the vine barrier. As if the thunder clouds above have sentience, the clouds rumbled even louder as the lightning that it was preparing could be felt becoming bigger.
Those that could see the lightning becoming much fiercer suddenly thought that the heavens might not like the beast that is undergoing tribulation. What they did not know is that the beings were not undergoing tribulation but getting handed punishment by a much higher power than what they thought. The vines managed to cover them once more, but the world suddenly became silent.
The whole eastern continent became a silent world where no one lives. The silence was only broken with the loud rumble of the powerful thunder. A massively powerful lighting suddenly rained down from the heavens as if they were trying to smite those that offended them. The lightning hit the vine dome which instantly vaporized it.
Levin Cloud suddenly weakened and reverted to his humanoid form. Levin Cloud spat blood as his soul was damaged by the attack but it was only minor due to Adrian suddenly using his own soul to protect him as the latter's soul was stronger. Adrian's soul took a bit of damage as he mitigated some that would have been fatal for Levin Cloud.
The lightning is then drawn towards Kimat as he siphoned it to himself. All layers of protection that was applied to Kimat's body were destroyed like paper. He is then submitted to a powerful blast of lightning that actually injured him to a large degree which made him roar so loud.
The loud roar made those that were looking from afar shudder as they thought they heard the dying roar of a powerful beast that cannot ascend to a divine beast. They could only sympathize with it as they knew that it will die due to the power of that lightning. Adrian, on the other hand, used all of his essences to make sure that Kimat will not die.
Dodu and Charon even took some of the damage but they were suddenly eviscerated as it was very powerful. They were sent back to the soul chamber to recuperate. Sirius also tried to defend Kimat with his shadows but the lightning dispelled easily.
