Thunder, lightning, a bolt of lightning.

You can describe it in any way you like, but what was presented to everyone was a thunderstorm of unimaginable scale.

[Storm Lightning Strike]

[Ancient Dragon's Alliance, the Miracle of the Nameless King, can summon fierce lightning strikes.]

He was once a dragon-slaying god, but for the rest of his life, he became a comrade-in-arms with Storm Dragon. This miracle is the story of their tale.

The wind and clouds changed color; even with its power diminished, countless bolts of lightning still spread for miles.

The Storm Lightning Strike, whose power rivals Gwyn's Sunlight Spear, is even more awe-inspiring in terms of scale and visual effects.

"Lightning protection! Quickly use lightning protection, or defensive plants will also work!" Matilda was sweating profusely.

"We also need to add thermal protection, no, adding anything else probably wouldn't make any difference."

As Fingel gazed at the Nameless King raising his Dragonslayer Swordspear amidst the storm, a strong feeling arose within him that he was "unable to contend with this being."

For the first time, he had the thought of not wanting to fight at all, even though he would want to spar with the Sword Saint.

That god-like demeanor made it impossible for anyone to even think of fighting back.

"Boom!"

The boundless thunder crashed down, making his heart skip a beat, and the lightning illuminated everyone's faces, whether they were stunned or panicked.

The Storm Lightning Strike transformed everything outside their position into bolts, not out of pity for sparing them, but to block their escape routes!

The Nameless King's towering figure finally unleashed his lightning spear.

There's no point in using any more powerful words to describe this lightning spear; all you need to know is that this lightning spear is incredibly strong and can obliterate any enemy to dust!

The lightning spear was incredibly fast, yet to Fingel, who was about to be struck, it seemed to slow down.

There's a saying that goes something like this: when people face a severe life-or-death crisis, their thoughts accelerate wildly, but their bodies may not be able to keep up with the accelerated thinking. So, at this time, people usually recall bits and pieces of the past.

Commonly known as a revolving lantern.

However, Fingel wasn't thinking about his own life memories; he was thinking about something else entirely.

My God, the Nameless King's ridiculously strong power will definitely be able to blast Aldrich and Sulyvahn down!

Upon seeing the Nameless King's appearance, he had already confirmed that the other party was the Sun's Eldest Son, the brother who had run away from home in Gwyndolin.

What a pity! If he were still in the Leyndell, people like Aldrich would never dare to cause trouble.

Fingel remembered his argument with Serena about trying to put Gwyndolin on a different storyline, so he pulled out the Yorshka's Chime at lightning speed and raised it toward the Nameless King.

If Gwyndolin reacted differently to the sight of Yorshka's Chime, what about the Nameless King?

Will a miracle happen?

"Boom!"

The raging thunder overwhelmed his vision, plunging everything into darkness.

Before he lost consciousness, he even briefly smelled the aroma of roasted meat, though it was quickly masked by the strong smell of burning meat.

Ah, I suddenly have a craving for barbecue!

Fingel, struck directly by the lightning spear, became a corpse in the blink of an eye, turning to ashes and returning to the campfire.

Shortly afterward, Hasawi Squad and Serena opened their eyes simultaneously by the campfire.

"Ugh, oh, oh—"

People didn't immediately spring to life, nor did they succumb to depression because of their weakness; on the contrary...

They were all trembling as if they were still being stimulated by lightning? They even made strange noises.

Because the feelings experienced at the moment of death will leave a slight lingering effect in the brain even after resurrection, and will not immediately disappear after resurrection.

So they fell into this brief, imagined "electrotherapy."

Of course, the reason might also be that the Nameless King's thunder was simply too strong.

While the group was still reveling in the afterglow of the thunder, at the same time, in the city lord's room...

"The Storm Dragon's performance is quite good, and the atmosphere is also very well created. Let's leave it as it is for now; there's no need to make any more changes."

Gong Qiying repeatedly played the battle between the Hasawi Squad and the Nameless King on the Crystal Ball. Well, that's not quite right; it couldn't even be called a battle, not even a turn-based game.

Can a battle where one side is instantly defeated really be considered a battle?

However, this also highlights the power of the Nameless King.

How do you portray a powerful deity? The most direct way is to demonstrate their power, to show that no one can match their strength.

Gong Qiying felt that he had done a very good job.

Several letters were scattered around him, from several Dungeon Lords, most of them from the Red Fang and Astar Alliance.

As mentioned earlier, he had some interest in the Warrior Country, so after that, he asked several Dungeon Lord he knew about that country, wanting to know if there were any dungeons he could use.

The Astar Alliance claims there's a dungeon whose lord is "suspected of being disloyal to humanity," but that dungeon recently fought the Glory Dungeon to a draw, and both are currently under protection and cannot be declared war on.

Red Fang found two usable abandoned dungeons, but their locations were a bit awkward. One was right next to the Boulder Dungeon, and the other was in a rather remote location. No wonder no city lord had taken a liking to them yet.

Gong Qiying was considering these underground cities. He preferred to wait until the protection period of the underground city that was "suspected of being disloyal to humanity" ended before declaring war on it.

After all, it would be awkward for him to open his branch near the Boulder Dungeon, which he had a good relationship with, especially since the owner of Stone City was a nice and helpful guy.

In addition to the letters related to finding the branch city of the Zane Dungeon, there is also a letter from the Bonds Dungeon.

This is a mass email, and its content is as follows:

[To all city lords]

I have taken over an underground city in "Red," a country located on the southeastern coast of the continent. The "Hidden Blood Parasite," Sealed Object that escaped from there, has reappeared and is causing chaos. I intend to reseal the Sealed Object and have made preparations. However, to prevent unforeseen changes, I hereby request the assistance of all city lords.

Everything is normal at the moment. If any unforeseen circumstances arise, I will send another letter seeking your assistance.

After seeing the letter, Gong Qiying went to investigate the information about the country called "Ruide". He learned that the country was a small country located in the coastal area, with almost nothing worth mentioning except for seafood. Even when the Sealed Object caused trouble, the reports only mentioned "parasitic monsters causing trouble" and then glossed over it, and there were no further reports.

Nobody pays attention to small countries.

It seems that due to their special physical constitution, the people of Rhee are less gifted in spiritual practice than people from other places. Their handicrafts are exquisite, but unfortunately, their skill level is not much different from that of dwarves. So, people naturally prefer the strong dwarves.

It seems that only the Warrior Country sent a small group to help the Kingdom of Rhine suppress the monsters' rebellion. I wonder what the outcome is now.

This country, Switzerland, was once disrupted by an unknown entity in the starry sky.

"It's over."

Gong Qiying organized all the documents and collected the letters scattered on the ground. At this moment, the image of a brown-haired woman was displayed on his Crystal Ball.

This is the expert who followed the Holy Light Church group into the Lightless Area. She was given special attention by Gong Qiying, and her mental state seems to have changed after she came out.

Unlike how she dispelled all the pressure and influence on others who entered the Lightless Area, Gong Qiying did not dispel the pressure and influence on the Bright Beacon. Instead, she retained a small amount of influence that was probably harmless to her personally, but not so good for the Holy Light Church.

For example, one's beliefs might become somewhat distorted.

Currently, the Beacon has returned to the Holy Light Church, and there has been no further news about it.

However, after the incident in the Lightless Area, the Holy Light Church in Bede City completely calmed down and stopped causing trouble. This means that the response of the Zane Dungeon to their provocations was successful, which is a good thing overall.

"Everything that's happened lately has been good."

Gong Qiying rubbed his temples, glanced at the clock, and pondered where to go for a stroll after "getting off work" later.

At the same time.

The group of Fingel and his companions had recovered from the aftereffects of the electrotherapy, and the expressions on their faces all showed that they were "relishing the experience".

"Is everyone alright?"

Fingel covered his forehead, concerned for everyone, while he himself felt a tingling sensation in his head.

Matilda shook her head. She was carrying Havel's Greatshield, which had absorbed some of the lightning, so she wasn't too badly affected.

Aleya, on the other hand, has already begun cultivating Raigeki- resistant plants, making her a true action-oriented person.

And what about the Princess?

"Princess Highness, are you alright?"

Before he could finish the last "ba," Fingel fell into an eerie silence.

Because he saw Serena clasping her hands and twisting her body, muttering to herself, "As expected of Ornstein's comrade-in-arms, how enthusiastic she is. She called to say that I was killed by lightning other than Ornstein's. It feels a bit like she's cheating on me."

Never mind, I won't ask anymore. She seems perfectly normal.

Fingel silently turned his head, looking at the Yorshka's Chime in his hand, which had been slightly damaged by lightning, and wondered why the Nameless King didn't react to it.

Could it be that he doesn't recognize it? But these are his sister's things, so it's impossible that he doesn't recognize them.

He didn't react to the Dark Moon Blade oath on my body.

Fingel suddenly had a very bold idea:

Could it be that the Nameless King is actually a Battle Mania, completely focused on battle?

It doesn't seem impossible, after all, he's the Dragon Slayer God of War.

"What's wrong? You look a little down." Serena's voice sounded from behind.

Fingel then explained his idea.

"Maybe the Nameless King just didn't see it clearly."

Serena shook her finger and said, "There's still some time left, why don't we go again and take out the Holy Bell as soon as we meet?"

Fingel agreed to the suggestion, but then asked suspiciously:

"Wait a minute, didn't you say you wanted to go back to the Royal Palace? Why do you want to come with us again?"

Upon hearing this, the Princess said in a serious tone:

"We haven't found Ornstein yet, but my sixth sense tells me we'll definitely find him here!"

"Really? You'd better tell the truth." Fingel felt the answer couldn't be that simple.

"Um"

Serena blushed and said shyly:

"Moreover, I'd like to witness the demeanor of the Nameless King once more."
