Chapter 100 Lightning Strike

"I have been struck by lightning more than ten times, but I have survived by sheer luck and become even stronger. Among the pears I have grown, there is a Thunder Pear, which contains the essence of lightning. Eating it will allow one to comprehend a natural magic—the Lightning Strike Technique. I will give it to someone who is destined to receive it."

The flower language of a bare pear tree is half white and half literary.

He has the air of a strongman.

As expected of the giant pear tree that had survived being struck by lightning more than ten times, Leo looked up and saw that the entire pear tree was radiating a warm white light. If you looked closely, you could also see a hint of purple light behind the white light.

To be precise, the pear tree emits a white-purple light.

His gaze searched the tree canopy and spotted plump pears, not very big, only about the size of a fist.

It also emits a faint white-purple light.

"Vanessa, have you ever eaten these pears?"

"I've had two. They taste sweet and sour, and they're quite delicious," Vanessa said. "Leo, you should try one too."

"So, Vanessa, have you eaten that pear?" Leo pointed to a special pear in the tree canopy. This pear was the same size as an ordinary pear, but it was wrapped with several purple lightning bolts.

"Wow!" Vanessa exclaimed, "What kind of pear is this? I've never seen one like it before."

The first two times she came, she didn't even notice the pear wrapped in lightning; she just picked two ordinary pears to taste.

Leo climbed the tree and picked the pear that was wrapped in lightning.

I got my hands on lightning, and it gave me a tingling, numbing sensation.

But the damage isn't strong.

"Vanessa, I sense that this pear contains the power of lightning. Perhaps eating it will grant me that power." Leo really wanted to eat it, but he didn't hide it. "Here, eat it."

He really hoped that Vanessa's strength could be even greater.

Vanessa took the lightning pear, carefully examined it, and then smiled as she handed it to Leo: "You eat it."

"No, you found it, you eat it."

"Leo, you eat it," Vanessa insisted. "I didn't find it the first two times. Clearly, it's the will of the Holy Light to leave it for you—consider it a gift from me to you, Leo. In the future, you will give me a gift too."

The two declined each other's offer.

Finally, Leo couldn't resist Vanessa's insistence and put the lightning pear to his mouth, saying, "Then I'll eat it."

"Mmm." Vanessa watched Leo eat the lightning pear, even happier than if she had eaten it herself. "Eat up, Leo, tell me how it feels after you're done. Lightning power, this is different from holy light power."

bang.

One bite, and your mouth is filled with tiny lightning bolts.

The pear was very juicy, but Leo didn't taste much because his whole mouth was tingling from the electric shock.

I can't taste the second flavor.

If it weren't for the hint from the flower's language, he would have really wondered if he was courting death. Moreover, after swallowing the pear flesh and juice, he felt an electric shock starting from his stomach, with tiny lightning bolts quickly spreading throughout his body.

Now his whole body felt tingly and numb.

"hiss----"

"How are you, Leo?" Vanessa asked with concern. "If it's really too much, we'll just throw it up."

"It's nothing, it's nothing—" Leo waved his hand and continued to gnaw on the lightning pear. The numbing effect of the lightning had already passed, and since it was already numb, he didn't care about taking a bite or two more. He finished it off quickly and neatly.

Lightning surged through the body, stimulating every cell.

The holy light aura and holy light elements that were originally in Leo's body, like water, easily accepted the power of lightning and coexisted peacefully with it without any interference.

at the same time.

This power of lightning also brought a special response to Leo, just like when the Sycamore Tree taught Leo how to perform the secret technique.

The lightning, through the frequency of its vibrations, instructed Leo on how to cast the spell.

No chanting is needed.

Simply by activating the lightning power within one's body, one can cast natural magic—the Lightning Strike spell. Furthermore, practicing during thunderstorms can strengthen the lightning power within the body.

"Phew." Once the numbness had completely subsided, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I have mastered the power of lightning."

"Really? Let's give it a try."

"it is good."

Leo stretched out a hand, recalling the feedback from the power of lightning. He used his mind to mobilize the lightning in his body, and when the frequencies became consistent, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his fingertips.

A strong impulse made him point his finger into the distance.

In an instant.

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, crackled, and struck the ground ten meters in front of him, sending up a shower of sparks.

After the attack.

Leo then felt his lightning power being depleted, and he was unable to unleash another lightning strike for a short time.

"Wow, that's powerful!" Vanessa exclaimed. "That lightning bolt is almost as powerful as a Grand Knight's charged attack!"

O

Leo himself was astonished: "If I had taken that hit squarely, I would have been severely crippled, if not dead, before the Heart Steel stacked up. However, if I had been wearing full armor, the effect would have been greatly reduced."

Regardless, this is a spell with extremely high destructive power.

Especially effective against shadow monsters.

"Let's leave this tree here for now. Once Oden has learned the Reverse Light technique, we'll arrange for him to come and transplant it."

The pear trees will remain in place for the time being.

Only when Oden masters the technique of backlighting can he come to transplant it.

This wait lasted for nearly ten days, because a torrential rain came quietly and lasted for most of the day, followed by two or three more days of light rain. The swampy plains were flooded everywhere and could not be passed at all.

The road with faint light was also destroyed by the rainstorm and needs to be replanted with fluorescent fungi when the weather clears up, otherwise the road will be very dangerous.

Fortunately, the summer harvest was completed before the torrential rains arrived, and no grain was lost.

Oden didn't get to visit the glowing town.

He diligently studied the "True Words" at home, practicing the Reverse Light spell that Leo had instructed him to learn.

Leo himself did not go out either.

The Sun Mark only triggered the flower language three times: once when a certain luminous plant exclaimed how wonderful the heavy rain was, once when a certain luminous plant felt it had drunk too much, and once when a daisy luminous plant expressed its interesting sentiments.

"Lord Leo's boots were covered in mud, leaving little mud spots on the stone slabs, like tiny stars."

These adorable daisy plants.

Leo naturally had it transplanted into a flowerpot and placed on the windowsill of his master bedroom. It was quite amusing to occasionally hear it praising itself.

In the afternoon, Leo came to the living room for tea.

Franken came over too: "It's really delaying our work. With these days of rain, the serfs can't work."

Leo looked at the mud on Franken's shoes.

Thinking of Daisy Light Plant again, and mentioning the mud on his boots before, he couldn't help but frown and say, "The entire area around the castle has been turned into a mess by this downpour, and the serfs' tent area is especially muddy."

Currently, two sides of the fortified village have been completed.

Northwest and northeast.

Several hundred serfs with their families were settled, while the remaining several hundred serfs continued to live in tents.

"There's nothing we can do. The remaining two sides of the fortress will be completed by at least September," Franken said, shrugging.

"Then let's focus on repairing the roads first and postpone dredging the swamp. It rains a lot in the summer, and the swamp is full of water, making it difficult to dredge. Let's gather our manpower to collect cobblestones and repair the roads inside the fortress so that it looks better."

Leo didn't want to step in the mud anymore.

They didn't want their cozy Sunflower Castle to be trampled into mud all day long, and who knew if there was any feces mixed in with the mud.
