Chapter 856 Immense Power of the Palm, Three Days of Training

Reign stared in shock at the sight in front of him.

The palm was actually similar to the skill he had gained after defeating the titan back in the forest. He realized right away that although he couldn't manipulate the skill as he could have done with the one in the forest, he could still change some things.

The palm didn't need to come from above and crash down on somebody. He could summon it and have it go upwards, he could have it be vertical or horizontal, attack from the side and more.

It was a versatile skill, one that actually took a lot of mana to be used.

The power it produced, however, was astonishing.

The small hill above which he had summoned the palm was gone, it was now just rubble and was turned into a flat surface that was charred from the lightning that exploded from the palm.

That was not all, however, as the lightning had gone wider upon exploding, turning an entire area that was about 100 meters in diameter into one where lightning danced and shocked everything.

'About 15% of my mana was used for that, that's one of the most mana-consuming skills I currently possess, but it's amazing for both solo and group fights.' Reign thought as he stared at the destruction in front of him.

He was right.

He could use the palm against one person and make it almost impossible for the person to escape. The lightning would not hurt him, but the palm also had weight to it, and being hit by it would definitely injure him, but that was where his incredible control over his mana and lightning came into play.

Reign could at change parts of the palm, which meant that he could easily create a hole in it right before it hit him, allowing him to pass through it easily, as for the explosion that happens afterward, it was his own lightning, it would not hurt him in the least.

The shockwave that would be produced would do damage, but he could withstand it by using mana to reinforce his body, and that was just one way to block or withstand the shockwave, which meant that he could use this skill without any fear of getting hurt himself.

Even without him changing the palm, it was as if the lightning he summoned had a consciousness. He felt as if it would move by itself and shield him from any harm even if he did nothing but stand in place.

"Well, that is quite a nice skill you received, I have to admit, I didn't expect it to be this good when you first got it," Aethion said as Reign nodded.

'I wonder how much more powerful it got after being improved by the card.'

"Perhaps a lot, perhaps a little, it's possible that what you are feeling about the lightning, how it would move by itself to shield you, is something the skill only received after being improved."

"If that truly is the case, then the improvement had mostly gone to that and the destructive power of the skill was only slightly improved together with the ease of which you can manipulate it and control it."

'I see, that certainly is possible.' Reign said absent-mindedly as he stared at his hand before clenching it and punching a boulder next to him.

The boulder exploded right away from the power of the punch as Reign nodded happily to himself, only to receive weird looks from Jared and Aethion.

'I just wanted to check how high my current strength is without using any mana now.'

"Aha, I see."

"Yes, master probably hasn't gone crazy and just wanted to check," Jared said as both he and Aethion nodded with blank expressions on their faces.

Reign chuckled at their reactions. Despite the incredible power he now possessed, he remained grounded and focused on honing his skills. There was always room for improvement, and he was determined to explore the full extent of his abilities.

Over the next few days, Reign continued to train and experiment with his enhanced powers. He practiced using the Thunderstorm Embodiment, pushing its limits to understand how much strain it put on his body and mana reserves. The lightning arcs around him became more controlled, and he could now direct them with precision.

The Lightning Palm underwent further refinement as well. Reign experimented with different angles, ranges, and variations of the skill. He even discovered that by infusing more mana into the palm, he could increase its size and destructive potential. It became a versatile tool in his arsenal, effective for both single-target and area-of-effect attacks.

It wasn't only him that was training, but everybody else as well.

With the rewards they had gained, they all became more powerful, but getting more powerful quickly didn't come without any drawbacks.

Reign and the others had to get accustomed to their power now. They had gained more stats in what seemed to be an instant, they gained improvements to their skills and abilities, and some new items.n()O/(v(-e--L/.B--1--n

Without first training a bit and getting used to their new powers, as well as practicing the new skills and improved abilities, they won't be able to utilize them to their fullest in battle.

That was why it was so important to them to take a short break from leveling up and to train a bit, as well as spar with one another in the new training hall they had made.

It was still below the main building, but it was now much larger, and that was all thanks to a spatial array that they had purchased.

It wasn't cheap, in fact, even the cheapest spatial array that one could buy from the system store was priced highly, with the cheapest being 350 000 S Coins, and only increasing the inside of the building/area by 10%.

lightsnοvεl Reign and the others bought one that increased the area of the underground training hall by 200%, and they had also manually made it larger as well.

Right now, the underground training hall was massive, being the same size as three football stadiums put together.

They had also reinforced it, making sure that even if they went all out, they wouldn't destroy the training hall.

While using it, Elijah and the others could only utilize a small portion if they didn't want to risk being hurt. Even though Elijah was also a Tier V combatant, when compared to Reign and the others, his stats were lower by quite a bit.

That wasn't only because of the bonus permanent stats that they had gained after the dungeon, but also because of their abilities and the bonuses the abilities gave.

Their skills were also more powerful and they had more of them.

That was not because Elijah was not as talented, in fact, he was as talented as them, which was why he was able to continue leveling up and evolving without reaching a bottleneck so far.

The main reason he was not as powerful, and he wouldn't be even if he was the same level as they were, was because of his ability.

He had activated it much later compared to them, and even compared to most of the Tier III, Tier IV, and Tier V combatants.

His ability was peculiar and unfortunately for him, it simply took a long time for it to activate because of the strict conditions of activation.

Still, Elijah wasn't one to curse at the system for being unfair or anything of the like. He continued training and hunting and was one of the powerhouses of the territory thanks to his high level and strength.

As three days passed, Reign and the others finally felt that they were ready to continue hunting and leveling up. They had truly done their best during the three days they spent practicing and felt that even if they continued, the difference would be negligible.

The location they were now going to go hunting?

The desert.

With their current levels and the bonus stats they got, they were already as powerful as peak Tier V combatants, and thanks to the skill and ability improvements, they weren't lacking in that department either.

With all the bonus rewards they had gained, they were probably even more powerful than a peak Tier V combatant was at this point, and because of all of that, it was time to do some power leveling.

They didn't need that many levels before reaching the very peak of Tier V, especially Beast who had gained a total of 13 level-ups after the dungeon and was now a level 490 combatant, which meant that he was a peak Tier V combatant, the only one of the entire territory.

As Reign and the others arrived on the mountain that was next to the mountain range, they all sat down and watched the sunset.

They would enjoy the sight for a little while and get ready for a battle that would without a doubt push them to the limits. Still, none of them were afraid as they all held the utmost confidence in their current strength.
