Chapter 137 Such a big island?
"Leodorus!"
Lorne's shouts reverberated in the air.
"Boom—!"
A muffled clap of thunder sounded in the air.
The gaze of a certain being, imbued with indescribable majesty, pierced through the clouds and fell upon this primeval island.
!!!
Those in high positions on the island were all taken aback at the same time.
"boom--!"
A deafening thunderclap tore through the sky, and a blinding bolt of lightning cleaved through the darkness. Then came a second, a third... countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the clouds, winding their way down like spears of thunder.
The dazzling bolts of lightning struck the island with pinpoint accuracy, each carrying destructive power.
An exceptionally thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck the entrance to the ruins a hundred meters away, destroying and dissipating the terrifying giant hand before it could fully descend.
However, the destruction of that giant hand, which only represented decay, did not mean that everything was completely over.
An unnamed individual attracted the attention of the tyrant who wielded thunder in the astral plane. This individual was clearly more detestable to Him than the giant hand.
An even more terrifying thunderstorm was brewing in the air, its terrifying force as if the sky itself were about to crash down.
"No way...it's that scary!"
Sensing this earth-shattering power, Lorne instinctively protected the person and cat beside him. In the instant a blinding bolt of lightning struck, he heard a deafening explosion.
Then the world was plunged into darkness.
……
An unexpected turn of events.
The person who wished to remain anonymous was in a rather disheveled state at the moment, as He was not as adept at direct combat as the tyrant who wielded lightning.
We have to get out of here right now!
At the last moment, He glanced at the unconscious Lorne.
The experiment is temporarily suspended.
……
"Leo..." came the intermittent voice from the divination screen.
"Strange! What on earth happened?"
Above the gray fog, Klein sat at a long bronze table, watching the live stream, somewhat bewildered.
He only caught a glimpse of a faint image, barely able to make out that Lorne seemed to be on an island.
Then a strange series of howls from various animals came from the screen.
"What's wrong...?" Klein leaned forward instinctively.
He had never encountered anything like this before. In theory, divination can only result in two outcomes: success or failure. This was the first time he had ever seen a vision appear intermittently.
Boom—
"Is that thunder?"
The scene before him suddenly became a little clearer, and Klein seized the opportunity to try to capture the information he needed.
"Where is Lorne Disenke?"
"Hey, the picture is clear now!"
The scene shifted, and he saw an island being ravaged by lightning, with countless bolts forming cages that enveloped the island.
"this……"
He subconsciously shifted his perspective to the sky, wanting to see what was going on.
Uh?
It seemed that something in the sky had also noticed his gaze.
Suddenly, a lightning spear flew rapidly toward the direction Klein was looking.
The terrifying aura pierced through the scene, as if it could strike him directly through the divination.
Klein was so frightened that he collapsed onto the bronze table.
"Thank goodness, it was just a divination..."
"I wasn't there myself," Klein muttered to himself, still shaken.
When he looked up again, he found that the divination image in front of him had disappeared.
"What on earth happened to Lorne Disenke?"
For some reason, Klein suddenly felt a strange sense of unease.
"I hope nothing bad is going to happen to my life again..."
……
In a void.
Lorne looked at the three card players around him and gently shook his head.
"Now...it seems we don't need to pause anymore." He tossed out a string of cards and said.
"Let's continue this round."
……
"Huff..."
Lorne was awakened by the sound of waves. He looked around in a daze and found himself lying on a platform that resembled a reef.
Beside her lay Tracy, still unconscious; the girl lay there quietly.
Lorne reached out and touched her neck, letting out a long sigh of relief only after feeling a faint pulse. The orange cat in the bag was still breathing, its small body rising and falling gently with each breath.
"Thank goodness... they're both still alive..." After confirming that neither of them had any fatal injuries, Lorne's tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Because I'm a 'lucky one,' I'm fine...."
"Oh right, the island..." Lorne suddenly remembered something, sat up abruptly, looked around anxiously, and searched for something.
"An island? Such a big island!"
"I remember, at the end... at the end there was lightning..." Lorne frowned, carefully recalling the scene before he lost consciousness.
"Wait! Could it be...?"
Suddenly, a terrifying thought occurred to him: the rock beneath his feet wasn't a reef at all, but rather a remnant of the island.
That huge, primitive island has been destroyed!
Lorne shuddered involuntarily. He swallowed hard and mechanically turned his neck to look at the surrounding sea.
Trees, debris... all sorts of things floated on the sea, and the acrid smell that even the sea breeze couldn't dispel all pointed to one fact... the island had been destroyed, no, more accurately, it had been erased.
This island is quite large, at least half the size of a city, yet it was suddenly... Lorne once again directly experienced the terrifying power of those in high positions.
"The Rose School!" The memories suddenly came together. "We were being hunted by monsters from the Rose School..."
"Then, I remembered what was in the guidebook..."
"What did the time-travel guide tell me to shout again? Damn it! I can't remember."
Lorne scratched his head in anguish. He was certain that the island was destroyed after he uttered a word, but he couldn't remember the word at all.
It was as if someone had precisely cut that small piece out of his memory.
"Could this be a dangerous summoning spell?" He suddenly thought of a possibility.
The inability to recall is actually a special self-protection mechanism, because the power of this spell is so great that it is simply unbearable, so the spirit automatically blocks the message.
But in the past, there was no one to help me, and I could only remember it when I was forced to... Now that the danger has passed, I have naturally forgotten it again.
"Indeed, that makes sense. No wonder the guide says to only shout when there's no other way to solve the problem; oh, I see..."
"The guide was indeed useful."
"It looks like something's drifting over here." Before Lorne could even breathe a sigh of relief, something was drifting over with the ocean current from not far away.
It was a strange corpse.
Lorne's pupils suddenly contracted.
The floating corpse crashed against the edge of the reef. When Lorne got closer to examine it, he found that the corpse had been dead for a long time. Many parts of the skin had completely rotted away, exposing the white bones. Three slippery tentacles were protruding from under the tattered brown jacket, and gray-green scales were falling off.
He also discovered that the corpse exhibited unusual spiritual responses.
"The corpse of an extraordinary being?"
After confirming that the other party would not rise from the dead, Lorne reached out and touched something that looked like a card.
A card? It's not going to be another playing card, is it...?
Before Lorne could draw the card, he noticed more strange objects floating on the sea... they all seemed to be the corpses of extraordinary creatures that had been struck by lightning and died tragically.
Driven by ocean currents, these bodies slowly converged towards the reef.
