It All Started With A Lightning

Return

"What is the name of this creature? What parts should we take? Is it edible?" Mura asked while cutting off its tail.

"No, absolutely inedible. But its tail is used as a weapon and its eyes are used for magic. We have to get them, let's leave the body." Since William came underground, he realized that the creatures here were very different from those on the surface. He hardly knew any creature. They all looked very strange. The most familiar ones were insects like scorpions and bats. That's why he always bought books with the money he earned. He had already finished almost fifty books.

After cutting off the creature's tail and removing its eyes, they returned to the castle. In those four years, they realized how big the underground could be. Even after hunting in the caves for nearly a hundred kilometers, they still had not seen another elven city.

Even if they did, they would most likely be taken prisoner. For Theo's deal was only with Elgaar, the head of the 'Earth' outpost.

When they returned home, they found that Pierce had brought three people with him, who were sitting in the great hall.

The newly arrived juniors looked at them with admiration and a little fear.

William stepped forward immediately. " Trainer Pierce! Welcome!" he said and hugged him.

Pierce replied with a smile.

"How is it up there? Any news from ours and little Wilson?" he asked.

Pierce was tired, so he sat down in the chair and slowly began to describe the situation on the surface.

In the past four years, William's brother had been born and had even grown up a bit. William still hadn't seen him because he hadn't been on the surface for four years. During that time, he was sure that if the sunballs did not imitate the sun on Earth, his skin would certainly fade and weaken.

Pierce told him that his family was doing well and that Wilson was growing up healthy. His older sister, Valynn, wrote a letter home to say that she was finally an advanced apprentice. The whole family was very excited for her. If she became a rank 1 mage, her family's prestige would increase exponentially.

William was not interested in nobility and petty matters. He was selfish, even though he had a family since he was born into this world. Because he had dreams. Having lived two lives, he knew that this place would make him feel very small in the future. He was already beginning to feel that way. He knew that if he didn't die tomorrow, this feeling would only increase.

The team was very tired after the creatures they had hunted that day. They said a few words of motivation to the newcomers and said goodbye to Pierce.

...

The next day, they came to that cave again. This time, he was the highest level of the team. Everyone else had either not reached the Death Meridian or were soldiers who had just arrived underground.

Godo and the others should have left by now, but they sent a letter to Theo with the returnees, telling him that they would wait for William. Theo had agreed to their request. Besides, it was in his interest to be his son's bodyguards.

The usual procedure was repeated. The manager of the Earth outpost came and opened the door. This time there were fewer. Even the elves had sent ten. There were eighteen in all, including themselves.

This time William sat next to the largest crystal. Most of the elves recognized him and did not care. Besides, they did not have many men to defeat him in a major conflict.

He began to meditate. After about half an hour, he felt that the already maximum qi and metal element in him began to boil. 'It's time now.' He began to slowly and carefully direct his qi to the Death Meridian in his heart.
