For a moment, the entire place lit up in a blinding flash. When the flash resided, Leon's shriveled body appeared with his clothes brunt to tatters.

It took him a moment to calm himself and he looked at his body, he couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Hahahahah!Is this what you have got...I don't even a scratch..."

Leon seriously thought that the lightning strikes were quite strong but it seems he overestimated it.

He had forgotten that during his training with Stephen, he had been subjugated to otherworldly cruelty by Stephen who roasted and cooked by lightning strikes of his Martial Spirit.

And he didn't have mercy on him. Each strike was deadly enough to take out his life and might kill him however Leon nevertheless survived.

However, no sooner he had said that.

But before he could savor his triumph, the ground beneath him began to tremble, and the air was filled with a low, ominous rumble. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lightning bolts flashed across the sky, striking Leon one after another without pause. Each bolt struck him with a fierce crack, sending jolts of electric energy through his body. Leon, struggling to stay upright, began to curse under his breath.

"Damn it!" he shouted, but before he could finish his curse, another lightning bolt struck him, making him hiccup abruptly.

He tried to speak again, gritting his teeth, "This is ridiculous—hiccup!"

Before he could continue, another bolt hit him, causing another hiccup. "Stop it already—hiccup!"

The cycle continued. "You've got to be kidding me—hiccup!" Another lightning strike hit him. "Can't you see I'm busy—hiccup!"

Each new bolt of lightning triggered another hiccup, leaving Leon trapped in al loop of frustrated curses and involuntary hiccups, amidst the relentless storm's fury.

As he opened his mouth to vent his frustration, a bolt of lightning hit him again, causing him to chole abruptly. He tried to speak again, but before he could get the words out, another lightning bolt struck him, making him choke once more.

The cycle continued, each new strike causing an involuntary hiccup.

 "What the hell do you want to do?"

"Cook me?"

"Fuck!"

BOOM!

After getting struck so much, Leon ears became numb still he felt he could hear someone screaming..

Who let the heaven cook?

"Stop! I am not going to kill more of you son of destiny anymore.."

Leon screamed waiting for another strike but to his relief the bolt didn't appeared that make his eyes light up.

He wiped his sweat, thinking that it didn't matter, he could let his ghosts kill those protagonists.

It seem pleasing heaven work…

No sooner had he thought this when...

For a moment, the entire place was engulfed in an ominous glow. The environment became deadly as the air thickened with oppressive energy. The sky above roiled with dark, tumultuous clouds, their rumbling growing louder and more insistent. It was as if the very heavens were enraged by Leon's defiant taunts.

"Bro...Bro...I was just joking!"Leon shouted as his smile faltered.

It seems that heaven took it seriously.

'Fuck! You are such a big guy yet you are offended by a mere ant...Will you also do that in case it was the protagonist.'

Below, Vortugen's grievous scream cut through the air, it anguish a clear sign of the toll the storm had taken on him.

Bit by bit it's body was being exploded and it show sign of drying it.

Leon could seriously feel it cries as if telling that.

[Bro, I don't have any enmity with you or clouds so why drag me in between.]

The ground beneath Leon trembled violently, the world around him shaking as if responding to the divine fury unleashed. The ground echoed with the thunderous roars of the storm, each rumble a testament to the sheer power gathering above.

The lightning strikes intensified, their golden hues coalescing into the shape of a massive dragon. The dragon of lightning roared to life, its presence overwhelming and majestic. With a thunderous crack, the dragon's maw opened wide, preparing to engulf Leon in its destructive fury.

Leon's eyes narrowed as he drew his sword, preparing for the inevitable clash.

The reason why he still now wasn't using weapon was because he had been told that the tribulation might intensify if he pulled out his weapons but it seemed he didn't have any choice now.

The dragon descended upon him with a force that warped the very air around them. As the golden dragon's lightning surged towards him, Leon met the attack head-on with a fierce swing of his sword.

The clash was monumental, sending shockwaves through the space.

The powerful energy of the lightning dragon collided with Leon's blade, resulting in a brilliant explosion of light. The tentacles that had appeared to catch him were incinerated in the blast, torn apart and scattered into the void.

As the blinding light began to fade, Leon stood amidst the wreckage, his body marked by the immense power he had withstood. His clothes were reduced to tatters, and his form was silhouetted against the dimming light. Despite the relentless force of the storm, Leon's laugh rang out, echoing defiantly through the cavern.

"Hahahaha! Is this all you've got? I'm still standing!"

The place was suddenly filled with an eerie silence as the blinding flash of light faded.

Leon, still standing defiantly amidst the wreckage, chuckled to himself. But as he shook his head in his apparent victory, the atmosphere began to shift ominously.

The ground quaked beneath him, and a deep rumble filled the air. Dark clouds gathered swiftly above, swirling into a massive vortex that churned with menacing energy.

 Out of the swirling darkness emerged three enormous, golden dragons, their forms twisted and darkened, roaring with fierce intensity. They seemed to be the embodiment of the Heaven's rage age, descending rapidly toward Leon.

"What fuck!Just how many strikes are you gonna shower on? Are you hell-bent on killing me, bastard?"Leon roared but his scream died down amidst the echoes of fierce storm blowing across the place.
