Chapter 524 After the lightning, came a heavy rain. The black clouds instantly turned into thunderstorm clouds after Rein shouted, "Lightning, go!"
Rumble, rumble.
The muffled rumble of thunder was incessant; every flash of light that passed through the storm clouds was accompanied by a clap of thunder.
The next moment, a beam of white light shot out from the thunderstorm clouds, cutting through the rain and heading straight for the massive tornado.
Lightning and gale-force winds collided in the rain, firmly holding the unstoppable tornado in place.
The lightning struck the tornado, but its power was dispersed by the tension of the tornado's rapid rotation, and tiny bolts of lightning struck the surrounding air like a spider web.
After a few seconds of stalemate, another incandescent bolt of lightning shot out from the thunderstorm cloud, merging with the lightning that had previously been locked in combat with the tornado.
The combined lightning's power increased by more than one level, and the tornado was at a disadvantage in just two breaths.
Not long after, accompanied by the mournful howl of a wolf, the immense energy unleashed by the two bolts of lightning dispersed the tornado.
After dispersing the tornado, the two bolts of lightning that had completed their mission were also dispersed by Rein's wave of his hand.
On the other side, Valen, who had exhausted all his fighting spirit and lifespan, looked withered, his once green hair now white and dull.
Valen, who was in his prime, now looked like an old man on his deathbed, with the rain relentlessly lashing his face.
Seeing Renn appear before him in an instant, Valen did not resist, nor was he able to resist. He grinned, his voice dry.
"Ahem, Renn, don't be so smug. Do you really think you'll be safe after destroying my Zeke family, the Becker family, and the Gray family?"
"Heh, we're just the first ones to stick our necks out, cough cough... Do you really think the other affiliated families are all on the same side as your Gray family...?"
Before Renn could even make a move, Valen's life energy was completely exhausted. His eyes turned ashen, his head lolled to the side, and he died in front of Renn.
Valen's body, having lost the support of his fighting spirit, fell downwards, but was stopped in place by Rein just as it began to fall.
In the torrential rain, an airflow formed around Renn, blowing away the raindrops around him.
He stared at Valen, who looked like a withered tree trunk, for a few seconds in silence, then waved his hand and put Valen's corpse into the magic device.
He frowned, pondering what Valen had just said.
It's unclear whether it was genuine or a smokescreen thrown at Renn to retaliate against him, intended to sow suspicion among Renn towards the other affiliated families of the Gray family.
Renn didn't think too much about it, nor did he want to.
Once Lao Deng has recovered sufficiently, let him handle these matters.
He's still just a child...
As Renn was enveloped by spatial energy, his figure disappeared into the high sky, leaving behind only a dark, oppressive storm cloud.
...
The Zek family.
Elwin and Granville stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain, while knights from the two major knightly orders searched for the Zeke family's treasures within the Zeke family's territory.
Erwin looked up at the terrifying black thunderclouds in the sky and sighed.
"Your strength is truly terrifying. I've only ever felt this kind of pressure from the patriarch."
"With you here, my Gray family shall be the number one family in the Essiah Empire!"
After reflecting on his experience, Erwin inquired.
"Granville, during the battle just now... what was going on with those knights from your Crown Guard Knights?"
Erwin was asking about the few Crown Guard Knights who had been teleported away during the previous battle when they were besieged by the Wind Wolf Knights and were in dire straits.
Granville chuckled, “It’s an emergency life-saving array that the Lord distributed to the Knights of the Crown Guard.”
"It will automatically trigger when the knights are in mortal danger, and teleport the knights away."
Upon hearing this, Erwin's languid expression vanished instantly, replaced by shock.
