Second World



When everyone gathered in the room with the portal into the legacy dungeons, it was already a full day since they tested Hope's Light. Hope's Sanctification had a cooldown of twenty-four hours, so they would be able to do it again. Jack planned to use that ultimate attack against the Herald of Greed inside the ancient battleground.

On that same day, Jack's human age also reached twenty months. Normally, every five months he received an upgrade to the race skill that was linked to his Blade Dancer class, Slash of Determination. This time, however, he received a new passive skill. Becoming Indigenous, rank 1. This passive skill gave him 5,000 HP.

This rank 1 skill gave him more HP than the Limitless Potential which was already ranked 12. Judging by the name of this new passive skill, he figured as they lived longer in this world, they might have HP that rivaled the natives, at least the lower-grade ones. Those with good bloodlines might have HP that rivaled the higher-grade natives. That was, of course, considering they never died. Their age reset when they died a wilderness death.

Jack's thoughts went to Lloyd, the first outworlder baby. He figured the boy would most likely have HP similar to the natives of his age, unlike the current players who had entered this world as adults but were in fact not even two years old when it came to their time in this world.

Jack asked Peniel what about those active skills like Willpower. Would a four-month-old baby receive that skill? Peniel answered that below-age outworlders would only receive the passive skills that increased their HP and attributes. Their active skills were saved but couldn't be used until they chose their basic class when they came of age.

Jack and the others discussed their tactic for a while before they entered the ancient battleground legacy dungeon of the Hard difficulty.

Jack did as before. He flew beyond the front line and unleashed lightning calamity upon Greed's black soldiers. Since the others didn't have Reset, he asked them to restrain from using big skills until they faced the herald. Hence, they all stayed back and protected the defense line with the human soldiers. Jack summoned Therras and left his pet with them.

Jack first cast Orb of Storm before casting Perpetual Lightning Judgement and the Lightning God Barrage. With more lightning balls, the area that could be hit by this divine skill also enlarged. Droves of black soldiers fell to the ground after the lightning subsided.

The nine who were watching from afar had the same feeling as the players who followed Jack into this ancient battleground the last time. Leavemealone was itching to rush forward. It was distressing to see his rival fight to his heart's content out there while he stayed at the back here. If not for Domon, he would have truly rushed out.

Because Jack had Reset, he used this chance to test his fully upgraded Lightning God Blessing. He activated Lightning God Incarnation. As he did, he transformed into a lightning being with a powerful shockwave that blasted everything in the vicinity.

Jack felt as if he had lost his physical self. It was almost the same feeling as when he cast Ghost Form or when he was in his incorporeal state. Yet, he also felt boundless energy within him and felt very light. He felt he could fly even without using his gold dragon wings.

As he had that thought, he indeed flew. He was currently a mass of energy that moved following his thoughts. Lightning constantly sparked from his body and this stray lightning struck a nearby enemy and caused them damage.

'Oh? That was not in the skill's description,' Jack thought. This meant even if he stayed still, he could still damage the nearby enemies similar to the Lightning God Suit, except these lightning sparks hit farther enemies than the Lightning God Suit could.

He thought about getting to a crowd of enemies a distance away. That thought turned him into a lightning bolt and he was there a split second later.

"Oh… This must be that instantaneous movement I can use every two seconds," Jack muttered.

The black soldiers were startled that an enemy suddenly appeared among them. Some of them were also zapped by bolts of lightning shooting out from this lightning creature. They immediately sent their attacks.

Jack didn't dodge. He let their attacks hit. All the damage that hit him was reduced to only ten percent, they all felt like tiny mosquito bites.

Jack extended his arms forward. Lightning rays shot out of his arms and struck the enemies he was pointing. These were his standard attacks. The lightning wasn't a single-hit incident. The lightning rays persisted, causing damage by the second. The longer the lightning ray stayed on an enemy, the higher the damage became due to the combo multiplier.

He swiped his hand in a circle. He continued to shoot his standard ray attack while performing Whirlwind Slash. A circular shockwave radiated out followed by lightning. The skill itself was enhanced by lightning energy.

He used one skill after another, cast one spell after another. All the while zapping around the place with lightning rays constantly shooting out from his hands. He was like a literal Lightning God wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

The others looked at the scene with a dumbfounded expression. Leavemealone clenched his fists. He had to get to level 80 as fast as possible! Jeanny had also given him all the materials to let him upgrade his Fire God Blessing. All he needed now was to reach level 80.

Jack caused a lot of destruction in the short three minutes when he was in this lightning form. He also activated Strength of Hope to maximize damage. When the duration almost ended, he felt his power accumulating to a critical mass. He understood then that the end of this Lightning God Incarnation was a lightning explosion that hit everything in his vicinity, similar to his spirit weapon's finishing mode.

But through his mana sense, he felt that he could utilize this energy better. He tapped into this growing power and used mana manipulation to control and empower it. As he did, he zapped high into the air. Up there, his Lightning God Incarnation came to its last second. The accumulated energy was ready to be unleashed.

Instead of having it released into a normal explosion, he focused this energy into a single point, his fist. He then punched downward.

As he did, he turned into another lightning bolt. A massive lightning bolt. He aimed this lightning bolt at one of the strongest black soldiers in the army below, a level 80 mythical grade. This gigantic lightning bolt slammed into this enemy.

The resulting impact caused the ground to shatter and its shockwave threw all the other enemies away.

When the lightning receded, Jack had his fist on top of the level 80 mythical black soldier who was lying in a crater. The mythical grade had a full HP bar before he was hit by the lightning bolt. His HP bar was now half empty.

That mythical-grade black soldier had an HP of 1,800,000. With only that one hit, Jack dealt almost one million damage.

Additionally, the mythical-grade black soldier was motionless on the ground. His expression showed agony. The massive lightning bolt not only took out half his life but also placed him in an extended paralyzation state.

Jack didn't waste the chance. His weapons were back in his hands and he unleashed his sword art on the helpless enemy. This black soldier was one of the commanders of the enemy army. Taking him out would mean more time for them later in the second phase.

Three hours passed and everyone started gathering scores. They went to the secret path once the golden knights started moving. Jack flew over to join them. He was ready to have a rematch with the Herald of Greed.
