Chapter 69: – The First Letter (69)

༺ The First Letter (69) ༻

God’s judgment struck down upon the earth.

Boooooom!

The world shook as my eyes went blind and ears deaf. The earth exploded repeatedly, blasting the ground into pieces and catapulting clumps of dirt all over the place. And I, helpless against the impact, was sent rolling across the ground.

A high-pitched ringing echoed in my ears when a foreign sound I had never heard before ripped its way into my ears.

The indescribable sound was that of a scream – one that was much like the death throes of a dying beast. The anguished howls resounded out from the jaws of the wolf that were spread open to the point that it wouldn’t have been strange even if it snapped apart.

Its obsidian eyes swelled excessively from pain and looked like they were on the verge of bursting apart.

In such a state, the beast turned towards me as if in disbelief of what had just conspired. It was supposed to be an apex predator unaffected by magic. Taking that into consideration, it was no wonder that the beast, as cunning as it was, was unable to decipher what had just happened.

Thus, I smugly enlightened the beast with a victorious smirk.

“That…kugh… was a conductor, you damn mutt.”

It was a plan I had thought of when the ‘Judgment of Light’ raged down onto the ground for the first time. At that time, I had witnessed it. The sight of my hatchet crackling with electricity.

No matter how tough the wolf’s lightning resistance was, there was no way it would be unscathed if the lightning were to penetrate directly into its body.

The sword had dug into its brain through the gap between its horn and hide. It was quite literally a passageway for the lightning. When the lightning bolt struck the sword, the surge of electricity must have traveled through its veins while burning all its organs.

Lightning resistance?

It was useless. Resistance was something that was only applicable to exterior surfaces such as leather or mucous membranes.
