Amon, The Legendary Overlord - Chapter 293: : The Saga of Amon in Fulgura - Part 2

“Did that really happen?”

“Barbara, try to calm down!”

“How can I be calm when the planet where Amon was training just disappeared from the Tower?”

Bianca understood Barbara’s desperation. Internally, she shared the same feelings, but as the eldest of the group, she had to stay composed, even though she wished to give in to her emotions. After all, it had been two long months of uncertainty.

They had been in the dark all this time, and only now did they discover the shocking truth: Planet Fulgura had mysteriously disconnected from the Tower. The planet’s location coordinates were deleted, making it impossible to reach it with a spaceship.

Fighting her own fear, Ariel stated, “It’s painful to admit, but…” She took a deep breath, searching for the right words. “At least we know he’s still breathing. The mark made with his blood at the university still indicates his vitality. As long as he’s alive, we must hold onto hope.”

Julia, wiping away tears, agreed, “Ariel is right. Amon is strong; he won’t be defeated so easily.”

The real issue was… How much they missed him.

The twins’ birthday had passed, which should have been one of their happiest moments, but then this happened…

Before, the two would argue over who would be the ‘first’ to have a relationship with Amon, but then this took place…

Flavia even came to them to apologize, as it was her idea for Amon to go to Planet Fulgura.

Of course, none of them was irrational; what Flavia did was with the intent of helping Amon, it wasn’t wrong… It just so happened that some mysterious factor did something to prevent Amon from returning indefinitely.

Flavia had said at the time, “Even if the coordinates are gone, he can still be found. The federation is taking this very seriously, so the best thing to do is wait for him to return.”

Meanwhile, the reason for the girls’ worry and anguish…n(-In

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Like meteors, three figures plummeted from the sky, their bodies crashing into the earth imposingly, raising dust and resonating thunderous echoes. The force of the impact caused them to slightly sink into the ground.

“This is the power of a Grandmaster…” Possessing almost 500 lightning genes, Amon could feel this pulsating energy coursing through him.

However, there was something peculiar about his voice. Upon reaching the Grandmaster Rank, Amon acquired ‘Sorrow’ genes, and with 450 of these, this emotion became dominant over the others that were at a mere level 100.

Interestingly, Amon had previously tested these genes on a lesser creature. The result? The creature felt so melancholic that it ended its own life!

“A powerful emotion, and dangerously influential,” Amon reflected, with a somber tone.

If he had to describe it, he would say this was the second emotion that deeply consumed him, almost impossible to contain, similar to the Rage he once felt.

Perhaps the intensity of ‘Rage’ was due to the fact he had experienced it at the beginning of his journey to become stronger. This emotion, ‘Sorrow’, became dominant when surpassing level 100 and reaching level 450. And if things keep going this way, he might reach level one thousand. And when that time comes…

Amon looked up at the sky, letting out a melancholic sigh.

“Julia, Bianca, Ariel, Barbara, Maisa… How I miss you all…” He murmured, his voice filled with longing. “When will I be able to leave this place? I’ve achieved the Grandmaster Rank, but the Tower hasn’t reappeared, and I’m still unable to communicate with anyone, even the federation…”

He checked his watch, noting the absence of any connection.

With a deep sigh, Amon realized his only option was to remain resilient and persist in his training.

Turning his attention to the bodies of the fallen creatures, he meticulously began the process of disassembling them, selecting the juiciest cuts for his meal.

“Could the key to my escape lie in replicating that insect’s ability?” He pondered as he lit a fire to roast the meat.

The insect in question had a rare and fascinating ability. When feeling threatened or simply wanting to move, it could align with the environmental electric currents, acting as a natural conductor. This mechanism allowed it to teleport, moving from one point to another instantly, harnessing the energy and speed of phenomena like lightning. It was as if, in a flash, it could ride the bolts, becoming one with the electricity and vanishing into the horizon.

Amon was convinced that by mastering this skill and combining it with his current power, he could detect electric currents at astronomical distances and thus teleport to another planet. In a new place, perhaps establishing a connection and contacting Bianca, the others, or even the federation would be feasible.

Though it was an approach full of dangers, at the moment, it seemed like his most promising option.

After his meal, Amon headed to the mountain range, home to these insects, located near a peculiar lightning lake.

This lake was a natural wonder. Lightning danced around it, illuminating the waters with intense, silvery flashes of light. Each electric discharge produced a melody, like an orchestra of thunder resonating through the air.

The reflection of sparks on the water’s surface created a luminous display, turning the landscape into a theater of shadows and lights. The environment pulsed with energy, and the constant buzz of electric charges gave the impression of being in front of a living, powerful entity.

The insects Amon observed were almost magically drawn to the sounds emanating from the lake. They teleported from one side to the other, moving in harmony, as if performing a ritual dance.

Though Amon couldn’t fully grasp this behavior, he was determined to extract more than just water from the lake on this visit. He was there to uncover and learn this intriguing ability.

Trying to tune his own energy with the surroundings, Amon whispered to himself: “I must merge with the electricity, just like these insects.”

Five days later…

After a fruitless effort to teleport, Amon reflected: “Maybe I’m pushing too hard. I should allow the electricity to flow through me, rather than trying to control it.”

Ten days later…

With a glint of determination in his eyes and after catching a brief glimpse of the insect’s ability, Amon exclaimed: “This… I felt it! I’m on the right path.”

During this period, Amon realized he was getting closer to mastering the ability. Moreover, his strength had grown considerably over the last ten days, especially during the breaks when he meditated on what he was learning.

Though he tried to prevent the insects from becoming excessively sorrowful to the point of self-harm, Amon acknowledged he still needed them to enhance and raise his skill level.

Another 26 days later…

During a deep moment of meditation, Amon reached a state of enlightenment!

His mind operated at astonishing speed, allowing him a deeper understanding of things. He not only mastered the insects’ skills but also refined spell books, elevating them to a new level: The Star Rank!

Intriguingly, Amon realized he had the capability to further enhance the inherent skills of the insects.

As time advanced, his understanding deepened. He worked tirelessly on the evolution of the spell books, ensuring they could match the magnitude of the Star Rank.
