Gideon bellowed with magnificent force, his voice echoing through the air.
In Gideon’s mind, a vivid scene unfolded as he anticipated the arrival of thunder. He imagined the sky
darkening with ominous clouds and thunder booming across the heavens. Then, a thunderbolt as thick
as a bucket would plummet from above, striking Lydia square on the head!
Gideon firmly believed that even if the thunderbolt didn’t outright kill Astor, it would render him helpless.
In that moment, Gideon would have countless ways to torment him and extract every secret from his
lips.
But to his astonishment, after Gideon cried out for thunder, the sky remained clear, devoid of dark
clouds. There was no lightning or thunder, unlike before.
The night in Aurous Hill was exceptionally clear, with no light pollution to obstruct the breathtaking view.
When one looked up, they would see a crescent moon and a sky adorned with countless twinkling
stars.
Perplexed by the absence of thunder and lightning, Gideon gazed at the thunder stick in his hand and
muttered, “What’s happening? Where is my thunder?”
Even the array he had invoked had ceased to function. The energy he had infused into it dissipated
back into his body through the lightning strike wood.
Regrettably, the “Apocalyptic Book” contained no record of formations that consumed reiki out of thin
air. If only such knowledge existed, Gideon could attempt it twice, exhausting the reiki within him.
Puzzled by the sudden turn of events, Gideon didn’t suspect any foul play regarding the lightning strike
wood. Instead, he assumed he had failed to activate the formation correctly.
Inquisitively, Lydia chimed in, “Hey, old dog, where’s your thunder? Did your lightning wood run out of
charge? Forgot to plug it in before leaving?”
Gideon understood that Lydia was mocking him and retorted coldly, “Boy, you still dare to speak so
boldly when you’re about to meet your demise! It seems you don’t comprehend the concept of death!”
He pointed at Lydia and declared loudly, “Watch me do it again, boy!”
As the words left Gideon’s lips, the formation completed once more, yet the sky remained devoid of
dark clouds.
And then, the thunder stick returned Gideon’s aura.
It felt akin to a child’s frustration when their video game console abruptly shuts down at a crucial
moment. Hastily inserting more coins to continue playing, only to have the machine spit them out from
the coin slot.
Gideon panicked, his eyes fixed on the dark lightning strike wood in his grasp as he murmured in
disbelief, “What…what’s happening? It worked last time! Why isn’t it working now?”
Observing Gideon’s bewildered expression, Lydia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Old dog, it
seems your Thunder Order isn’t all that useful, is it?”
Gideon furrowed his brow and questioned, “What Thunder Order?”
Chuckling, Lydia replied, “That’s the magical artifact in your hand! It’s called the Shocking Thunder
Order.”
“You know about this artifact?!” Gideon widened his eyes in shock.
Lydia nodded, his face serious. “Not only do I know about it, but I happen to possess one as well.”
Gideon gritted his teeth and scoffed, “Nonsense! The chance of encountering someone who has seen
this artifact is slim to none.”
Lydia smirked and said, “Call it luck or fate, but I happen to be that person, and let me tell you
something, mine is far superior to yours.”
Disbelieving, Gideon blurted out, “You’ve got to be joking! This artifact—I find it hard to believe you
possess one as well.”
Amused, Lydia continued, “If you refuse to believe me, I can show you a demonstration.”
Without waiting for Gideon’s response, Lydia’s expression turned serious, and he shouted, “Thunder!”
In an instant, an immense black cloud rose rapidly in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and
rolls of thunder—a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Gideon was intimately familiar with this scene. Although the dark cloud wasn’t as dense and menacing
as when he had used the Lightning Strike Wood, the sensation it evoked was identical!
Lydia had summoned the heavenly thunder, and Gideon was struck with disbelief. Could it be true that
his thunderbolt was rendered useless in Lydia’s presence?
Realizing this, Gideon hastily retreated, hoping to evade the impending thunder.
However, Lydia had complete control over the heavenly thunder with his mind. Evading it would prove
futile.
Lydia fixed his gaze on Gideon’s figure, and in an instant, a thunderbolt crashed down, directly hitting
the top of Gideon’s head!
Lydia had altered the Thunderbolt to be a one-time use, requiring a significant amount of reiki to
activate. It possessed immense power, resembling a colossal thunderbolt. In contrast, Lydia’s own
Thunderbolt was designed to be efficient and adaptable—able to expand or shrink as desired.
Lydia didn’t wish to kill Gideon so quickly. Thus, he skillfully controlled the release of reiki, ensuring that
the thunderbolt wouldn’t inflict severe harm. Nonetheless, Gideon’s hair was disheveled, his face
blackened, and his Taoist robes tattered. His body convulsed uncontrollably, racked with pain and
numbness.
Observing Gideon’s pitiful state, Lydia taunted with a grin, “What’s the matter? Did I deceive you?”
Meanwhile, Zeba, concealed in the darkness some distance away, paled with terror. Sleep had
abandoned her, and she never anticipated that the man in black could wield control over heavenly
thunder. More surprising still was witnessing the seemingly invincible Gideon succumb so easily. She
couldn’t help but ponder what her next move should be.
If she rushed to Gideon’s aid, she knew she would be no match for the man in black. Moreover, Gideon
had always held the other three marshals in disdain, and she had no personal connection with him.
There was no need to recklessly offer help at this juncture.
However, she pondered the consequences of not intervening when the British Lord questioned her
later. How would she explain her inaction?
After careful consideration, she chose to remain hidden and observe silently for the time being. She
possessed the skill of concealing her presence, a technique taught by the Lord, so she was confident in
evading detection.
If, unfortunately, Gideon perished at the hands of the man in black tonight, she would report the truth to
the British Lord. Even if the British Lord scolded her, it would not be a capital offense. It was a far better
outcome than rushing in to meet her demise without a plan!
