42 Chapter42-The Demise of Eerie

The sky turned ominously dark. Black clouds rapidly gathered, like a giant beast opening its gaping maw, instantly swallowing the moon, pure and lustrous as jade. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, lightning illuminated the entire sky, forming a towering silver-white tempest.

This sudden change in weather made the students of Grand Magus Academy feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. They couldn't help but stop their activities, anxiously looking up.

"What's happening? It suddenly started thundering."

"This thunderstorm feels strange."

"Looks like a heavy rain is coming."

"..."

Kendo glanced towards the direction of the tower block, his eyelids twitching slightly: "Eerie No. 374 is over there, go quickly."

Elwin's mouth hung open, eyes widened: "Forbidden technique Thunder Resonance, who's using it?"

Bolts of lightning struck incessantly towards Owen and the person from Eerie, their thunderous echoes slicing through the night like swords. The ground shook relentlessly, presenting an apocalyptic scene.

Owen's draconic eyes sparkled with golden light, unflinchingly expanding his Gold Divine Dragon form to withstand the lightning's assault. He used his dragon wings to shield his head, attempting to minimize the damage to himself.

It was then he truly understood why Thunder Resonance was a forbidden technique, not easily mastered by ordinary people. It was essentially a self-destructive technique, dragging the enemy into the range of the thunder strikes, testing who could endure the impact of the lightning.

The person from Eerie conjured a dark protective barrier, attempting to fend off the relentless bombardment of lightning. The ferocity of the lightning increased, its brilliance overflowing.

With a massive boom, an especially powerful bolt of lightning struck right at the area where Owen and the person from Eerie were, bursting into a blinding light. This lightning, with unparalleled force, impacted the ground, causing unprecedented destruction.

Finn was numbed by shock, his mind racing as he quickly dragged Erin away from the area engulfed by the thunderstorm.

"I want to be with my master," Erin cried in agony.

Finn glanced back at the scene of the thunderous descent, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "Mr. Owen wouldn't want to see you struck dead by lightning. We're only adding to Mr. Owen's troubles by staying here."

Only he knew in his heart, with the thunderstorm's ferocity, the chances of surviving within its domain were slim. Owen's sacrifice to hold Eerie at bay was a spirit that shook his very soul.

Within the thunderstorm's domain, both Owen and the person from Eerie were forced to retreat several steps by the power of the lightning. Instantly, the Eerie tentacles on Owen began to disintegrate. Painful screams emanated from the person from Eerie.

Owen, filled with gratitude, nodded lightly, "Thank you, headmaster. I will remember this."

Kendo waved his hand modestly, reflecting, "It is I who should thank you. If you hadn't stopped Eerie, who knows how many of our students would have suffered."

Owen glanced at the enchanted box in Elwin's hand, curiously asking, "What was that thing just now, and why was it so formidable?"

"Eerie, also known as a creature from the abyss," Kendo sighed, "I heard from Elwin that you wanted to learn about the 'Soul Ascension Forbidden Technique'?"

A chill ran through Owen's heart. Could he have been discovered?

"Yes," Owen responded, unflappable in the face of surprise.

"These Eerie creatures are the result of practicing the 'Soul Ascension Forbidden Technique'," Kendo revealed.

"What?" Owen's voice twisted in astonishment. "Can you elaborate?"

Elwin, stepping forward, spoke in a low voice, "Headmaster, perhaps it's better not to."

Kendo instructed the staff to manage the scene and then sighed deeply,

"These are secrets that can't be hidden within the academy. He would come to know them eventually as his practice matures. There's no harm in telling him now."

Owen, understanding the gravity of the situation, promptly promised, "Rest assured, I won't speak of this to anyone."

"Saint of dragons, your word is your bond. We trust you," Kendo said with a faint smile towards Owen. "Actually, it's nothing much. The Eerie you saw was one of our academy's teachers."

Boom— Kendo's words struck Owen like a thunderclap, echoing through his mind. Eerie, a teacher at the academy? He couldn't reconcile the two.

"Shocked, aren't you? This is all the 'accomplishment' of the 'Soul Ascension Forbidden Technique'," Kendo said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Owen glanced at Elwin, speculating, "In the magic shop, were you actually right beside this professor?"

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
