Release That Succubus

[… The skill is especially destructive once it is fully charged and the lightning energy within it is released all at once.]

Zach raised the Superconducting Lightning Rod above his head like a beacon and waited for the lightning in the clouds to respond to his will.

Surprisingly, he didn’t have to wait for long as one of the thick lightning bolts fell straight from the dark clouds and fell towards his head with the speed of light. There was only a strong flash that made the hearts of those who were witnessing the whole spectacle almost jump out of their bodies.

But as if it was purposefully avoiding Zach, the bolt of lightning stayed clear of him and changed direction to fall towards an empty clearing that was quite a distance away from the Luther family mansion where majority of the servants and guards were huddled up together.

The guards and the servants covered their mouths in surprise as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The lightning that fell from the sky towards Zach changed its direction midway.

The Luther family looked at him in amazement as Zach manipulated the thunder in the atmosphere to fall away from the Luther family mansion like some god of thunder like Zeus and Thor from the mythologies of his previous world.

Bolt after Bolt of lightning fell but not a single one of them harmed Zach or even managed to touch him in the slightest. The Lightning Rod was definitely a seriously overpowered weapon that would have broken the balance of the world had it not been for the fact that there was a restriction of only available for use in the condition of thunderstorm.

Frederick who had paid with his life and potential for this magic found himself in excruciating pain as he witnessed Zach playing with his attack like it was of no threat to him at all. His eyes popped out in surprise as he found that he had already lost control of the spell. The thunder that he should have been able to manipulate easily was no longer under his control. It was as if the control column of the plane he had been flying was suddenly moving on its own. It was a really uncomfortable and scary feeling for him who believed that his family’s magic spell was invincible against enemies below S rank.

With each wave of his hands, lightning struck as if Zach was leading an orchestra while standing on top of the roof of the Luther family mansion. The thunder struck at his cues and to those witnessing the scene, it looked as if Zach had bent the S rank magic to his will.

Such a natural disaster was something that induced fear in the hearts of the people but Zach had tamed it. It was a natural reaction for the witnesses to treat Zach like a god when the evidence of it was right in front of them.

The servants were the first to bend their knees as they knelt down to him and ardently prayed to him like he was their god and benefactor. In times, when even their god abandoned him, Zach had arisen like the god himself to save them. How could they not feel any devotion towards such a deity who had come in person to save them from their doom? They sat on their knees and touched their foreheads to the ground from time to time as they worshipped Zach who was busy throwing lightning bolts like Zeus from the myths.

Zach was too focused on controlling the lightning to care about what the servants of the house were doing. Had he been aware, he would have definitely cursed them out loud. Previously they had misunderstood him and had made him a dark mage and now they had proclaimed him to be some kind of god responsible for their salvation when all of it had been done with the help of modern science and technology.

Still, it was better to be treated as a god instead of the vermin of the world. Zach would have definitely welcomed the change.

Luna was already a devotee of Zach. Even though she was his lover as well, there was no doubt in the fact that she was a fanatic when it came to Zach. She adored him to the extreme that she was no different from a cultist whose object of worship was her master. Just like he was saving these people from their doom today, she too had been saved by him once in the past. He had even gotten injured while trying to save her and not even once did he try to ditch her due to the difficulty of carrying her along with him.

She remembered all that and her smile widened to the extremes as her eyes glittered like a thousand stars had appeared in the empty space inside them.

Zach had some difficulty trying to arrest control of the lightning with the help of the Superconducting Lightning Rod in his hand but it wasn’t to the extent that he considered difficult. It didn’t take him long to accurately direct the lightning bolts to carry out precision strikes at any location which was accurate to a 3 meter radius around the target. He experimented on the clearing in the distance for some time and when he became proficient in the control of the weapon, he redirected it towards the source of the magic skill in the distance.

Instead of striking its previously intended target; the Luther family, the bolts flew off into the distance before falling vertically down from the heavens like the titanic wrath of the thunder god straight on top of the location of the Sosis family estate where Frederick watched on in horror as his own weapon was used to attack his home.

The glee he felt earlier at the inevitable destruction of the Luther family was nowhere to be seen on Frederick’s face. There was only uncontained panic and fear because if there was one person in the world who truly knew the horror of Thunder Chasing then it was him. He had after all seen his father unleash this magic on to a group of enemies in the past.

Frederick still got goose bumps when he remembered the scorched black residences of those enemies and the burnt ashes of all those who stood against the Sosis family. It was after all following that incident that he had assumed command of the Sosis family in the place of his father.

Watching the same horror bounce off of his target to strike back at his own home was like eating his own shit. It felt like Zach was using his own dick to fuck him in the ass.

The hyenas watching nearby witnessed a scene quite opposite to what they had been expecting. Instead of the Luther family, it was the Sosis family that was about to go up into flames.

The loud noise of the thunder streaking across the sky to strike the centre of the Sosis family alerted the nearby families that previously had no interest in the incident. The reason was that Sosis family was a rare and fat piece of meat when compared with Luther family that was barely bones after falling from grace in the Elizabeth city. There wasn’t much anticipation when the Luther family was about to be destroyed since there was nothing to be gained from them especially for the more prestigious families that were on par with the Sosis family. ｂ𝚍ｏｖ𝚕．𝚝

But now that the situation had changed, there were many more hyenas and vultures circling the Sosis family waiting for their turn to scrape together what they could from the situation.

Unlike the previously gloomy mood, Luther family was currently in the midst of celebration. They had just escaped a calamity that could have been the end of the Luther family they knew. Their jubilation at being alive could not be measured at this time. They gathered around Zach and shouted crazily, their admiration, their devotion and their fanaticism evident to all who could lay their eyes on them at that moment.

Some hugged each other in happiness while some women wailed as they sat on the ground unable to stop their legs from trembling and their tears from falling like an unending stream.

In their excitement, they were unable to control their voices and each of them was practically shouting at the people close to them but none found it the least bit odd. They had all been through the same situation after all.

Diana was still awestruck at the situation. She had been prepared to sacrifice herself to save her family members but not only did her master save her family; he also brought destruction to the ones who hoped for their doom. Unconsciously a wonderful smile came over her beautiful face as she looked at Zach who was still playing the music with lightning for chords.

Bruce saw that the situation was under control and everyone was too focused on Zach to notice him. He cautiously rolled back his wheelchair and exited the Luther family mansion unbeknownst to anyone in the family. The urgency and the seriousness on his face was enough to show his determination as he ventured in the darkness created by the thunderclouds above him.

Unlike his family, he couldn’t celebrate just yet. There was something that he had to do…a forgotten wish that he had longed to fulfill ever since he became the head of the Luther family…ever since he became a cripple unable to stand on his own two feet.
