The barrier Evan created using shadow shroud and shadow wings was instantly destroyed by the golden lightning.
He was still using temporal velocity so when his barrier was destroyed, he watched in slow motion how the golden lightning arc moved towards him bringing a sense of despair with it.
Even before the golden lightning struck him, Evan could smell the death.
He wanted to move away and dodge the lightning arc, but found his body is too weak after using shadow energy and he does not have enough strength to dodge it.
'Damn, I never thought I will die like this' Evan thought just before the lightning struck him and closed his eyes.
Just as he closed his eyes, the golden lightning struck him and he felt a numbing sensation all over his body.
Evan felt all the clothes he was wearing disappeared just like how his shadow energy disappeared when it came into contact with the golden lightning.
'So I will also disappear from existence like this. A total annihilation huh,' Evan thought when his clothes disappeared.
Suddenly Evan thought about all the money he got recently and his heart ached even more.
'I was finally able to break up with poverty after all this time, but I am going to die even before I can enjoy the privilege of being rich' he said inwardly and waited for golden lightning to completely annihilate him.
In no time, a minute passed like this.
'Why am I still fine?' Evan who was standing with his eyes closed thought when he was still fine even after one minute.
He could still feel the numbing sensation all over his body, but other than that, he did not feel anything else.
He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw what was happening his mind blanked out for a moment.
"What the fu*k is happening now?" Evan shouted out loud when he saw his entire body was covered in golden lightning.
He was standing in his birthday suit, and golden lightning was moving all over his body, but other than feeling a numbing sensation he didn't feel any discomfort from the lightning.
Evan was completely baffled by the situation. Even his shadow energy wasn't able to survive after it came into contact with the golden lightning, so he wasn't able to understand why he is still fine even after getting struck by the golden lightning.
Crackle!
At this moment he once again heard the sound of lightning crackling and saw another golden lightning arc came through the portal.
This lightning arc was bigger than the last one, and Evan could feel its power was even more terrifying than the previous lightning arc.
This time Evan didn't close his eyes and watched as the lightning arc struck him, but after touching his body instead of harming him, it also started to move all over his body just like the previous lightning arc.
Evan raised an eyebrow after seeing this and took out a normal sword from his shadow storage.
After taking out the sword he touched the golden lightning moving around him using the sword, but just as the sword came into contact with the golden lightning, it disappeared from existence.
When Evan saw this he was sure that the lightning is still the same lightning that annihilated his shadow energy fist force, but for some reason, this lightning is not harming him.
Evan did not know why this lightning was not harming him, but after he confirmed that he is not going to die, he felt his legs turning weak and he fall down on his butt.
But just as he fall down and the lightning circling around him touched the floor of the dungeon, it also started to disappear.
Evan's mouth can't help but twitch when he saw this, but he didn't care too much about it.
Currently, he was feeling very weak. Now that he knew he is safe and the adrenaline rush is ended, the aftereffects of using shadow energy were showing up.
Crackle! Crackle!
Soon he once again heard the sound of lightning crackling and two more golden arcs of lightning came inside the boss room through the portal.
Both of these golden lightning arcs were even more powerful than the previous lightning arcs, but since Evan knew the lightning is not harming him, he just looked at the lightning arcs with a face full of interest.
The arcs of lightning struck him and, like the previous arcs of lightning, they too began to circle around him.
In the next ten minutes, five more lightning arcs came through the portal and struck him, but just like the previous arcs they also did not harm him.
By now Evan was looking like a golden coloured human torch. He was shining so bright that he can even replace a street light and work as a lightning pole.
In these ten minutes, he was forced to change his sitting position for multiple times because of how easily lightning circling around him is destroying the ground.
He also tried to open his status window to see what is actually happening but found he still can not open it.
But Evan did not panic when he was not able to open his status window because he could feel that the golden lighting around him is slowly disappearing.
And he guessed that once the lightning will disappear he will be able to open his status window.
The strange energy which was stopping the flow of knowledge about his Ebonmancer class was still present in his body, and Evan was not sure what will happen with it.
Soon five more minutes passed, in the last five minutes no lightning arc came into the boss room through the portal, and the lightning around Evan also weakened a lot.
Suddenly, when more than half of the light around him disappeared, Evan felt that a restriction had been lifted from him.
At first, Evan was confused when he felt this but then he remembered about his status window and tried to open it once again.
And this time when he tried to open it, he was able to open it easily.
As he opened his status window, some notifications flashed before his eyes finally informing him why he was not harmed by the lightning.
