Divine Path System
chapter-115

Zap!

Zap!

Boom!

Boom!

Dozens and dozens of lightning bolts exploded in the air. It was as if the heavens were punishing the mortals.

'This much danger is expected.' In midair, amidst the life-threatening attacks, Varian was unexpectedly calm.

He had his reasons.

He was in danger since he held the ambrosia. Once he let go of it, he'd be out of danger.

Varian knew it but didn't want to do it.

If he gave it up, wouldn't his purpose for the trip be wasted?

'Injure as many boss monsters as possible, get as strong as possible. All before the Abyssals enter.' He took a deep breath and prepared to land.

Boom!

As he was about to land on the ground, the bundles of lightning bolts shot at him at a great speed.

The good news was that all the magic beasts were injured. Even the least injured had a significant drop in their combat power.

So their attacks weren't as fast or sharp as they would be otherwise.

This gave Varian the period to push his body using lightning mana in mid air and dodge the attacks.

Most of them.

Zap!

Boom!

Three lightning bolts exploded his space block, lightning armor, and struck his skin.

"Ouch." Varian landed on the vibrant soil, dyed the bloods of many beasts and rolled to the side.

Now, to the soil of different colors, a red was also added.

Zap!

Boom!

The attacks continued.

Even though they weren't at their best, the attacks of peak Level 4 posed a major threat.

"Roar!"

"Kree!"

"Druah!"

"Screech!"

The magic beasts of different species all expressed their will to snatch their prize back from him at any cost.

As their lightning senses locked onto him, Varian's heart raced.

'I can do it.' He told himself and ran towards the edge of the crater. His injuries from earlier were light and didn't affect his mobility.

But there were some things that did.

Zap!

Boom!

The lightning bolts were aimed at him. Assuming the form of lightning swords, palms, whips, thorns and clubs, they shot at him.

Varian's hair erected, and he involuntarily shuddered. This attack was meant to bury him.

'Run!' He shot up the crater in an instant and marched outward.

Boom!

Boom!

The walls of the crater collapsed, and the crater expanded.

"Roar!"

"Creaa!"

Varian glanced behind and saw the magic beats using lightning sledges to pull them out of the crater.

They chased him. But even before them, the huge lightning bolts in the air swirled around each other and crackled violently.

'Destroy.' The lightning seemed to whisper.

"There is no other way." Varian took a breath and spread out his lightning sense.

As their attacks reached him in the blink of an eye, he tracked them with lightning sense.

In a split second, he jumped to the right, and then to the left, dodging most of the attacks with ease.

A few attacks grazed past him, and three attacks broke through his lightning mana.

'These three are definitely the strongest here.' He judged and ran along the way he came.

"Roar!"

"Ree!"

"Druah!"

Among the chasers were a calamity tiger, an Irontail sandworm and a red-scaled rabbit. The beasts he hunted during his stay.

Varian really wanted to ask if this was Karma?

Zap!

Boom!

The attacks he barely dodged told him he had no time to ponder.

As he approached the tunnel opening, the magic beasts in the way and on the way escaped for their life.

Because behind this one person, there were many magic beasts.

It was like he was leading an army to chase an enemy, except he was the enemy

Even though the magic beasts were injured and had trouble catching up with him with their physical body, their attacks had no such concerns.

Their lightning attacks were only barely dodged.

Boom!

Zap!

Varian sprinted with all his energy. He continued to dodge, but couldn't avoid a few attacks every time.

These few slowly compounded, and Varian's injuries turned from light to moderate.

As blood drenched his uniform, and the smell of roasted meat spread in the air, the cute voice emerged.

With great anxiety and apprehension, it spoke.

"What are you doing? You can't win against them. Just drop the ambrosia already. Even if you ingest it now, they'll eat you up."

Varian continued his run, as sweat and blood mixed and splashed against the ground.

"There… is still a day, right?" He asked through his mind, wanting to take a rest.

Running at his full speed resulted in same experience at every level. Sore legs, pain in the chest and weakness throughout.

But like every level, he didn't stop.

Zap!

Boom!

Dodging the attacks, he asked, no, yelled. "There is still a day till Abyssals come, right?"

"Y-yes! There are 36 earth hours." The cute voice immediately replied.

"Perfect." Varian grinned as he saw the cliff in the distance.

It was the same cliff he was forced to jump. The same cliff falling from which almost killed him.

He glanced back.

"Roar!"

"Screech!"

"Druah!"

The bellowing sought his blood.

Varian grinned and reached the cliff edge.

Zap!

Boom!

He dodged the attacks and blocked some for a few seconds.

"Roar!"

The magic beasts were a few meters in front of him.

Quite a few magic beasts that initially escaped joined the group later on.

So, the magic beasts were now a hundred strong.

Varian was but one person.

However, he smiled.

"You want this?" He opened his palm and showed off the shiny green liquid.

It was only a droplet. But its enticement was irresistible.

"Roar!"

"Ree!"

The tense atmosphere tensed further.

Every magic beast was ready to pounce a lightning arm at Varian and grab the ambrosia.

They didn't consider him a threat at this point. How could he win against a hundred of them, anyway?

All of a sudden, the magic beasts concentrated their mana to create huge hands to grab hold of the droplet.

Varian grinned at them and showed his middle finger.

"Sucks to be you."

And jumped off the cliff.
