Chapter 522: Chapter 290: The Might of Thunder
This was Fang Zhen’s first time using a flying artifact at such high speeds, not to mention he was standing atop a flying lotus. Yet, he handled it as if he had practiced countless times, his proficiency utterly perfect.
The credit for this had to go to his extraordinary base attributes.
When a person’s power and talent reached a certain level, they simply never encountered the bottlenecks and difficulties that plagued the less gifted. For him, practice was almost irrelevant.
Wielding the Thunder Spear, Fang Zhen soared through the air atop the lotus. He carved an arc through the sky, circling from behind Malganis to confront it head-on.
He disdained the very idea of a sneak attack.
Duke Phil’s soldiers and the Divine Rune Warriors had likely felt that Malganis’s power far surpassed Osetis’s, creating an insurmountable gap that crushed them with fear and despair.
However, Fang Zhen saw things differently.
Having observed clearly from below, Fang Zhen combined his intuition with his Martial Arts experience and came to a different conclusion.
In truth, Malganis wasn’t that much stronger than Osetis. The two of them were actually in the same weight class.
It was just that Malganis was slightly superior in both skill and physical strength, allowing it to dominate through technique and raw power.
But this domination wasn’t the result of a difference in tiers. It was more like a championship boxer fighting a bottom-ranked contender in the same weight class.
In a sense, Malganis did hold an absolute advantage, but if it let its guard down even for a moment, Osetis still had a chance to win.
A fight between opponents in the same weight class wasn’t like a super heavyweight fighting a featherweight. It was about who could land a clean, heavy punch first—the first one to get hit would be the first one to go down.
However, Fang Zhen wasn’t afraid of Malganis. Fear was an emotion reserved for opponents who were truly much more powerful.
After his assessment, Fang Zhen came to one conclusion. ’This Malganis isn’t as strong as I am.’
If the battle between Odysseus and Malganis was like a match between two heavyweight boxers, then Fang Zhen wasn’t a boxer. He was Wolverine.
Acting on this conviction, Fang Zhen immediately took to the air.
He wanted to test the limits of his own strength, which was why he hadn’t bothered with a sneak attack and was instead going for a direct confrontation.
Fang Zhen piloted the flying lotus to a great height. Even with its wings, Malganis couldn’t match his agility.
After flying to an altitude of over a hundred meters above Malganis’s head, he suddenly made an incredible move.
He leaped down from the flying lotus.
From over a hundred meters above Malganis’s head, he jumped from the flying lotus, holding his Thunder Spear and activating its power with all his might.
Instantly, a real peal of thunder echoed through the heavens.
The lightning unleashed by the Thunder Spear formed a web of electricity in the air, looking just like a natural storm.
This web of lightning was focused, however, coalescing into a bolt with Fang Zhen as its arrowhead, aimed with high concentration as it plunged toward Malganis.
At a blistering speed, Fang Zhen plunged from the sky, wreathed in lightning, like hundreds upon thousands of thunder pythons and Thunder Serpents descending from the heavens.
His speed was astonishing, covering the hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the lightning from Fang Zhen’s Thunder Spear seemed to trigger a change in the already gloomy sky.
Real thunder suddenly rumbled, and a massive bolt of lightning split the sky, striking downward.
As the real lightning bolt from the sky descended, it struck the tip of Fang Zhen’s Thunder Spear.
The tip of Fang Zhen’s Thunder Spear, layered with the power of several Sky-Splitting Power Mountain Seals, crashed directly into Malganis’s forehead.
Malganis shrieked in agony.
Although it had once again deployed that black shield that could reflect attacks as Fang Zhen descended, the shield seemed to have a limit.
The shield could defend against attacks below a certain damage threshold. But once that threshold was exceeded, the black shield shattered with a sound like a great jar breaking and simply disintegrated.
The scattered force blew outwards, and when the energy shockwave hit the Little Demons on the ground, it crushed them directly into a meaty pulp.
The mere shockwave possessed such power.
If the shattered shield could unleash such force, one could only imagine the power of Fang Zhen’s thunderous strike from the sky.
Fang Zhen’s spear pierced Malganis’s forehead.
Instantly, the Power of Thunder from the spear and the true lightning bolt from the heavens slammed into Malganis’s head in unison.
Fang Zhen himself felt the backlash from the lightning.
He could control the lightning on his Thunder Spear, making it one with himself, but the lightning from the sky, a force of nature, was a different kind of power.
But he also had his Power Mountain Seal and Gang Zan Seal active.
With the Gang Zan Seal active, Fang Zhen only felt his hands go slightly numb, but he sustained no real damage.
Malganis, however, was not so fortunate.
One of the curved horns on its demonic head was directly severed by Fang Zhen’s spear, which then pierced into its left forehead. Its massive body immediately began to convulse.
With its head struck by lightning, the aerial web of electricity formed a cage of thunder around the demon, continuously jolting its entire body.
