Mission Reward: Herrscher of Lightning upgraded from S-rank to SS-rank for free! Side Mission (7): Deadwalker Slayer! (Completed) Mission Reward: 1,000 Crystals!
After confirming that there were no issues, the Herrscher of Lightning chose to claim the rewards. The 1,000 Crystals were credited immediately, while the Herrscher of Lightning's upgrade to SS-rank...
The Herrscher of Lightning only felt a surge of soul power enter her body. The Herrscher energy within her continued to grow until it finally... stabilized at SS-rank.
At that moment, the Oni Horn on the Herrscher of Lightning's head seemed to have grown a little longer, while the pinkish-purple glow in her eyes deepened.
"Sure enough, I've become stronger!"
Feeling the explosive increase in power within her, the Herrscher of Lightning was very satisfied. She just needed some time to adapt to it.
"Hm?"
Just as the Herrscher of Lightning was getting used to her newly acquired power, she suddenly turned to look in a certain direction.
"What is it?"
Noticing the Herrscher of Lightning acting strangely, Tianqiong looked at her curiously.
"It seems... I sensed someone familiar nearby..."
The Herrscher of Lightning appeared somewhat hesitant. It was as if she had sensed something... yet it also felt like an illusion.
"Someone?"
Tianqiong grew even more curious at that. She and the Herrscher of Lightning shared the same soul, so logically... if the Herrscher of Lightning sensed someone, Tianqiong should have felt something too. Yet she had noticed nothing at all.
Chapter 28: Ya... Yae Sakura?
"Let's go take a look!"
Without giving it much thought, the Herrscher of Lightning grabbed Tianqiong's hand and pulled her into her arms. Then... she transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from where she stood.
Just like the Flash! In a flicker of electricity, she disappeared.
