The Seclusion Cave.
Lith was back to sitting on the pedestal and was meditating. It had been a few days since he began his ascension.
By the time Arya, Alexandra, Emilia, and Lucy reached the cave, Lith had already begun meditating and didn't see them here.
The whole family was here right now and everyone was watching Lith with great interest and pride.
Alexandra could be said to be the proudest of all. She became a Rank 9 just two years ago when she was 26 and here Lith was, already on his way to be a Rank 9 at the young age of 21. She took great pride in knowing how amazing her darling was and was also very happy knowing she was in a relationship with such a man.
Lith was currently comprehending the Lightning laws. He was just a few bits short of comprehending it fully and ascending. There were golden lightning sparks all around him and everyone who was watching could feel it.
Except for Arya in the cave, everyone had lightning affinity. But, Arya was a Supreme Rank and could feel it as well, so there were no problems.
The lightning stopped crackling around Lith after a while and it started revolving around Lith's body. Soon, a storm started forming and in no time, Lith's entire body got covered by this storm.
The storm was a lightning storm and Lith was in the center of it. Bolts of lightning went to and fro from Lith's body and it burnt his clothes.
A few hours later, Lith's aura became chaotic again but this time it was very violent. It was so violent that when it got out of his body and rippled around, it caused the walls of the cave and the ground to crack.
Snap!
Lilith snapped her finger and cast a barrier around her and the other ladies. She also ensured to strengthen the walls and ground of the cave so that it doesn't blow up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLith wasn't aware of any of this. He was meditating and simply trying to better his understanding of the Lightning laws.
Time passed.
It had been a few days and the storm had gone from around Lith. It had been absorbed fully by him and there was lightning pulsing in his body through his veins.
Lith, who was meditating, suddenly found himself getting sucked into something and before he could realize what was happening, he soon saw everything around him turning to gray.
'I am in the Astral World again?' Lith thought as he looked around.
There was nothing but a gray forest all around him and he was currently standing in the middle of a lake filled with water, which appeared gray as well.
'I am not in the same meditative position as before but standing?' Lith thought and tried to move.
As he tried to take a step ahead, he realized he was able to move. The situation wasn't the same as before this time he could move.
Lith walked and as he reached the shore of the lake, he found himself unable to take a step further.
He became confused and tried to force himself but wasn't able to. He took a step back and realized he can indeed move.
He tried this thing a few times and understood that he couldn't go past the water in the lake. He could move wherever this water was.
Lith then got an idea after wandering on the water and he once again went to the shore. There he used his spiritual power and tried to make the water flow out.
The water did and Lith tried to walk on this water and he was able to cross the boundary.
Once again, Lith understood that the water needs to be present and he could basically move anywhere he wanted.
Lith used his spiritual energy and tried to make all of the water in the lake move according to his wishes. He was a Rank 8 currently and it was easy to do.
Just as he used his spiritual energy and shook all the water in the lake for a bit, everything started shaking a golden beam of light shot out from the center of the lake.
Lith, who was trying to walk out, got sucked into this golden beam and he traveled into the sky along with the beam.
Lith had no idea what was happening and before he could figure it out, he stopped floating up and stopped when he was in the center of the golden beam.
The golden beam soon started entering inside his body bit by bit and Lith's mind started turning blank.
In no time, Lith's mind blanked and he soon could see, hear, or feel nothing. There was just the golden beam entering him.
…..
Inside a dark majestic palace.
A handsome lean man wearing red robes was sitting on a throne and looking at the people below him with a sharp gaze. His attitude was very serious.
"Your Majesty, the demons are still trying to infiltrate our world." A person standing in the middle of the grand hall said in a respectful manner.
The handsome man nodded lightly and before he could say anything to that, he soon frowned and knitted his brows.
He leaned back on his throne and gazed in a certain direction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe soon saw a golden beam of light and noticed a person in the middle of it.
The handsome man immediately stood up and let out a thunderous road.
"INSOLENCE!"
The people in the room all shivered in fear as they heard the man say that. Some people almost pissed themselves despite having high cultivation.
The handsome man immediately broke the golden spear locket he was wearing around his neck and holding it in his hand, he imbued his mana into it.
The small locket soon turned into a gigantic golden spear and the silver streaks of lightning crackled around it.
The handsome man bent backwards and aiming it towards the golden beam, he sent the spear with full force.
BOOM!
The spear was sent with lightning fast speed and it broke through all barriers of the castle. It was sent with such momentum that it caused the platform the throne was on to get half destroyed.
The people in the room shivered once again in terror. They all knew what had happened last time right here in this place.
From the rumours they knew that the King was angered by the people in this room and he ended up killing all of them and grazing the whole place down.
They wondered if such a thing had happened again and whether they were going to die right now or not. They also wondered what wrong they did to anger him or to have such an exaggerated reaction from him.
As for the King himself, he thought to himself while looking at the golden beam in Astral World with a serious gaze and knitted brows,
'I'll not forget what happened last time…'
