Chapter 222 A Slight Show Of Power

A Slight Show Of Power

[Third Person POV],

[Rank 1 Black Lightning Manipulator Level 40],

These were the blue words that would appear on Andrew Dawn's head whenever someone focused on him for an extended period of time.

This was his job, and it was of Epic caliber.

This may cause others to misunderstand as there appear to be a lot of people with high-level jobs, but what one should remember is that the numbers were still so small when compared to the total population of the human race.

A good example was the human ranking leaderboard.

Apart from the top three, whose job grades were unknown, it was known to those with means that the humans in the top ten were all humans with Epic grade jobs, and the humans in the top twenty were all humans with Rare Grade jobs.

Of course, this is how it appears on the surface.

If you compared these 20 humans who were on top of the human race to the millions of people out there, this number was too small, but this was only how things appeared on the surface because none of these humans knew what was going on in the true world.

A powerful job was not what made someone powerful.

It was more of a means to an end.

Perhaps it was only a matter of a dozen days before reality became clear.

Andrew Dawn's Epic Grade job was offered to him because he possessed the lightning element, a large mana pool, and magic related to the soul.

This was due to the rare grade spell Andrew Dawn obtained from the orange orb before entering the true world.

The spell he used to have a life and death contract with his men and some other people who chose to have with him later.

This is why his lightning turned black and became a variant element capable of affecting the soul of whoever the wielder of the black lightning wished to affect.

The Black Lightning Manipulator job would have been of higher grade if its soul attacks and soul magic were not limited.

But, in any case, the Black Lightning Manipulator was a powerful job in its own right, and Andrew Dawn was about to demonstrate a portion of its power.

As Andrew Dawn watched as the ogre king immediately shouted the strange sounding war cry and charged towards him, he quickly circulated the mana in his body as black lightning began to appear on his body outside, and just before the ogre king's punch could touch him, Andrew Dawn's body shook slightly as the ogre lord's punch passed through his body.

This scared the Andrew Dawn men who were watching the fight, but the ogre king had already realized something was wrong the moment his hand passed through the body of Andrew Dawn as he immediately twisted his body in a strange position as he turned to face his back with a super hard to see speed and put his hands close together in front of him as if defending something.

Before the people watching the fight, whether human or ogre, could comprehend the ogre king's sudden action, another 'Andrew Dawn' appeared in front of the ogre king and punched him.

While the ogre king could defend against the sudden attack, everyone who was paying attention to the fight was more concerned with the fact that they had just seen two Andrew Dawn before they suddenly realized something that made them inhale a mouthful of air.

It appeared that the figure the ogre king punched at first was actually an afterimage of Andrew Dawn.

This realisation came to them because after the sneak attack had failed right in front of their eyes, and another Andrew Dawn appeared on the other side of the ogre king position to deliver another punch as the first 'figure' that the ogre king punched vanished.

This could only be caused by a very fast speed to create an afterimage, which Andrew Dawn was clearly capable of as he began reappearing and disappearing at different locations beside the ogre king to deliver a series of different attacks that the ogre king was able to defend against, much to Andrew Dawn's surprise.

He couldn't defend against all of the attacks though because the ogre king's thick skin began to bleed in various places around his body.

The ogre king's ugly face was also filled with pain that didn't appear to be caused by his injuries, which was understandable given that the black lightning punches that successfully touched the ogre king were attacking not only his physical body but also his soul.

While the ogre king's violent aura began to fade, Andrew Dawn was left wondering how battle-experienced the ogre king had to be to be able to block attacks that were faster than him.

This made Andrew Dawn more wary of the ogre king, and the threat that Andrew Dawn was receiving from the ogre king before somehow increased after the violent aura the ogre king was releasing before vanished.

This was not at all normal.

As both kings looked each other in the eyes for a few seconds while one of them had small black lightning arcs jumping around him, the ogre king let out a loud roar, and the ogres who had been fighting before stopped fighting and began retreating.

When Andrew Dawn's men saw this, they were about to resume their attacks when Andrew Dawn gave a loud shout of his own, which caused everyone to stop.

"Stand Still!!!"

Andrew Dawn and his men just stood there watching as the ogres slowly retreated away from the mountain range after doing this action that brought his men to a halt.

After the ogres vanished from their sight, one of Andrew Dawn's men couldn't take it any longer and immediately asked why the fight had ended in such an awkward manner, to which Andrew Dawn turned to look at him for a few seconds before replying.
