Chapter 976: Thunderstorm Anomaly

On the opposite side of the Storm Anomaly, in the Central Continent, a Thunderstorm Anomaly was raging.

Another white fox appeared on the border between the outer and middle layers. She created a safe space in the heart of the lightning-struck area and opened a portal through which the Kingdom’s second expedition group, led by Thunderblade Valkyrie, appeared.

The group was greeted by the sounds of lightning that continuously struck the boundary of the barrier created by the fox. Beyond the barrier, they saw what the familiar Earth territory had become under the influence of the lightning element.

The sky was covered with heavy thunderclouds that blocked the sunlight. In the distance, high stone ridges covered with a layer of iron ore could be seen, which glowed and attracted lightning bolts.

There were vast areas under the stone ridges, where the ground had melted after numerous lightning strikes and became smooth as black metal.

A little to one side were trees and pillars, which instead of the usual branches had metal appendages in the form of lightning rods that collected the energy of the elements.

And on the other side, hot fumes and sparks rose from cracks in the ground.

“Are you sure we should go there?” asked Nimuka doubtfully. The other girls from the former Red Fox group who came together also shared her concern.

“Everyone gets ready and create protection around yourself,” Lina commanded, ignoring Nimuka’s question.

Then she nodded to the fox, and the fox, obeying her command, removed the barrier. The team was hit by lightning bolts that had accumulated around them.

“Aaaaaaararar!” — The protective barriers of the majority could not withstand, and lightning passed through their bodies, causing painful electric shocks. Everyone’s hair stood on end, and some even started to smoke slightly.

“Aww!” — After a short period of agony, everyone heard the wolf cub’s howl, and all the lightning bolts were attracted to him, allowing the group to catch their breath. They quickly began to rebuild their defenses.

Although the force of the lightning that struck them was weakened by the protection of their uniforms, the pain was still intense.

Only Lina, Nemo, Aliya, the little fox cub that Lina hugged, and all the doppelgangers present who took Lina’s form were not affected by the lightning strikes.

Lina not only had an affinity with the Lightning element, but she was also a Diamond-ranked Thunderblade Valkyrie, which made her invulnerable to lightning of this level.

Nemo had tempered his body during his travels in the Valley of Lightning, where he was looking for a suitable beast for Lina’s second contract. In the process, they tamed the little lightning fox cub that Lina was hugging, as well as the Pulsar that Idan had tamed.

Meanwhile, Aliya gained experience in protecting against natural hazards during a joint attempt to conquer the Valley of Stones in the company of Lina and Nemo. Due to the extensive understanding of the element of Light gained through the contract with Lucinda, she easily adapted her lightning protection.

“Pulsar,” Lina said, giving the command, and the wolf cub stopped attracting lightning to itself, and the discharge hit the group again.

This time, some were able to withstand the pain, but others started screaming and convulsing again.

Soon, the Pulsar pulled all the lightning towards it again, allowing everyone to catch their breath.

Aliya came forward and began to treat those who were most affected with the element of light.

“Is there even a need for this?” — Nimuka couldn’t help but ask, covered in sweat, with involuntarily trembling teeth.

“This is the fastest and most effective way to adapt to local conditions,” Lina said firmly.

“We didn’t start from the edge of the Anomaly, but right from the border with the middle layer, and instead of gradually adapting, you need to quickly harden your body so that you can react even in the event of a direct lightning strike in the middle layer and not become helpless in case of danger.”

“Damn,” many people swore, and, worst of all, all the Doppelgangers who came with the group looked at everyone and smiled broadly like madmen. This did not make anyone feel better, on the contrary, it seemed that the Doppelgangers were mocking them.

Pulsar, looking at the suffering of the Guild members, actively wagged his tail. From time to time, he glanced at the majestic stone ridges and lightning strikes, and his fierce eyes flashed with even more sparks, and the metal ball inside him actively rotated and began to heat up red.

For him, a being made up of lightning, this Anomaly was like coming home. Only Idan’s request kept him from rushing into this world of lightning and drowning in their mouth-watering taste.

Lightning resistance does not occur by itself. One must prepare for this by tempering the body and comprehending the art of protection, subtly using the power of the soul.

It so happened that the fox opened a portal in one of the active lightning spots. This was done on Lina’s orders to use them to temper the entire group.

Lina decided to take such a step, knowing that her team has Aliya, who is able to heal the victims. Yes, it was cruel, but this way the group will be able to feel more confident and safer during future trips in the middle layer of the Anomaly.

Eventually, Lina was going to leave the group and join the fight for the seeds of the law. However, before that, she wanted to make sure that her group was safe.

Of course, Pulsar, her fox cub, Nemo, and Aliya will stay with the group, but no one knows what might happen. They must be prepared for any eventuality.

The anomaly was dangerous not only with its lightning and difficult terrain, but also with a multitude of deadly beasts. If they were helpless in front of a beast with an affinity for the lightning element, it would be certain death.

Under the constant influence of lightning strikes and Aliya’s treatment, the entire group soon began to adapt and learn to protect themselves from lightning strikes and their effects. Their system helped them a lot in this, and most of them began to gain resistance to lightning.

Of course, before full immunity, it was like from the earth to the moon, but at least none of them could be helpless in a direct lightning strike anymore.

“Great, let’s go!” Lina, satisfied with the achieved result, led an expedition group to the middle level of the Thunderstorm Anomaly.
