The pitch-black slash transformed into a sharp moving light and decimated the bolt of lightning.
Pakaaa!
A body slashed in half then fell off the air, disintegrating into a burning white light.
Amid the burning white light was an endless electric current.
The electric current sparked and jumped, the burning white light shining bright, but a fire without fuel would not burn for long.
A breath later, the burning white light shone as bright as a little sun before rapidly darkening.
The lights seemed unwilling but they couldn’t defy the laws of nature.
Under Kieran’s gaze, the lights gradually changed form, as if they wanted to take a shape.
However, the very next moment, [Brutal Lightning Hand], the glove with four bronze nuts on top, emanated some sparks.
The burning white light paused.
Then, they flew towards the glove on Kieran’s left hand, disregarding further consequences.
The burning white light didn’t hesitate, neither did they have a choice.
Rather than vanishing completely, why not live on in some other way.
Kieran watched it happened, not moving away or stopping it. After countless similar encounters, he knew what was happening.
Everything was exactly as he had expected.
Wung!
The moment the burning white light touched [Brutal Lightning Hand], a large area of electric current splashed out, loud thunder sounding around the area. An electric field filled and expanded throughout the area, forcing Nelson back when he wanted to charge into the temple.
Fortunately, the electric field lasted for less than a minute.
When the thunder and current faded off, a brand new [Brutal Lightning Hand] presented itself before Kieran.
The fingerless glove didn’t change much in terms of looks, just the four bronze nuts around the knuckle area got sharper. There were also three extra bronze nuts at the back of the palm.
[Name: Brutal Lightning Hand ]
[Type: Glove]
[Rarity: III]
[Attack: III]
[Defense: III]
[Attribute: 1. Thunder Strike; 2. Lightning Spear; 3. Falling Thunder; 4. Lightning Brutality]
[Special effect: Thunder Consume]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: After embedding Thunder Fall Stone and absorbed the Soul of Lightning, it has been reborn into an entirely new equipment. It’s powerful, but untamed. When used, you have to get used to the numbing feeling from the overflowing currents.]
…
[Thunder Strike: Additional rank II electric strike following each successful attack at target]
[Lightning Spear: Fire an electric element Lightning Spear at a target within sight that has a rank II attack. When hit, it has a certain percentage to jump 6 times to other possible targets with rank I attack. Targets should not be more than 30 meters apart, when the Chain Lightning is focused down onto a single target, Lightning Spear attack +1. 3 times per day]
[Falling Thunder: Cast a thunder at any target within sight that has rank III attack, 2 times per day.]
[Lightning Brutality: After a successful kill, lightning based attack +1 for the next attack; After 2 successful consecutive kill, Lightning Spear attack +1 for the next attack, Chain Lightning will also trigger; After 3 successful consecutive kill, the glove attack rank +1, Falling Thunder attack +1]
…
[Thunder Consume: Each time Falling Thunder is case, receive a Strong electric element attack.]
……
Kieran was fairly calm when he saw [Thunder Consume]’s effect.
In fact, when he saw the white burning light, he knew what he was expecting.
With Canberlanor’s description, Kieran knew that when the God of Lightning first ascended to Godship, he’d also touched that burning white light, similar to how Canberlanor touched the book.
After the God of Lightning had fallen, the white burning light appeared again and was fading off quickly.
As for why? Even the old book, Canberlanor, didn’t know.
All the old book knew was the fading light meant death.
Therefore, if the light didn’t want to die, it has only one viable option left: attach onto something that shared a similar attribute.
Attach to a human being? Impossible.
The attachment onto a human being could only happen once, after that only items and equipment were viable, and of course, it was also the only second chance.
Should the two attachment chances be used up, whenever the white light came out again, it would not be able to attach itself onto anymore things.
“Just a little bit off.”
Kieran touched the bronze nuts on [Brutal Lightning Hand] and muttered in his heart.
[Brutal Lightning Hand] should not be a rank III item after absorbing the white light. Kieran believed that even when the God of Lightning wasn’t fully recovered, he could dish out damage around rank III and IV, so how strong would the God of Lightning truly be should he be in his prime?
At least higher rank III and despite the current rank was already unimaginable for common eyes.
“He hid himself?”
Kieran unconsciously thought about the ‘Unawaken’ [Extreme Night].
Both equipment shared similarities, yet were entirely different.
While recalling how the white light gathered into a clump under some invisible force and almost formed a shape, Kieran squinted his eyes.
Without a question, should the white light truly form a shape, it would be a brand new equipment.
“Gathered the leftover energy and started to materialize… So this is how items and equipment come to be?”
Kieran had a constant question about the forming of items and equipment.
Aside from the original equipment and weapons his targets were wearing, what about those drops that formed out of thin air?
Despite having many guesses before, after Kieran saw the scene before him, he was utterly sure these items that formed from thin air were just the materialization process of the target’s conscious.
Because of that, the stronger the enemy or target, the better drop rates for a powerful item and equipment. In a certain aspect, the items were the epitome of the targets he killed.
Of course, there was also the so-called ‘rating’. Similar to the materialization of power into items and equipment, the ‘rating’ came from the big city and had always been hiding in players’ body, only triggered during under special circumstances, like the Witch’s Gift.
Naturally, when Kieran thought about the Witch’s Gift, some ugly thoughts came to mind but he quickly discarded them.
Not suitable, he was still too weak. It wasn’t enough…
Was he overthinking?
Probably, but given how careful and vigilant Kieran was, after noticing something new, he would not be careless enough to neglect the minor details.
Kieran then looked at the gigantic body of the Devourer. He had to divert his attention, empty his mind of the messy thoughts.
What else was more suitable than the Devourer itself?
The Devourer was his biggest gain from this trip!
Aside from that, Gluttony kept sending him thoughts in his heart, saying that he overate.
