Chapter 189: Point a Middle Finger at the Sky
William emptied five bottles of Thunder Potion straight into his mouth.
A burning pain appeared in his throat, and he could not help but kneel on the ground. He clutched his stomach and widened his eyes...
Pain!
It was unimaginably painful!
William's Health dropped by 20% in a short amount of time.
Electric arcs swirled around him uncontrollably. His eyes shone with a blue light. The entire surface of his body was burning with lightning fire...
Twist!
Roll!
He wriggled like an earthworm.
In the distance, a magical beast saw him. It was so shocked that it only stared at him while its limbs trembled. It had no intention to come over and eat William. The scene had scared it to the point of shivering.
It was silently shouting in its mind. What in the world was this?
He did not use his limbs, but wriggled instead?
His entire body flashed with lightning. Was this some kind of lightning bug?
After all, this magical beast knew that this disgusting creature in front of him was definitely not food.
It did not want to approach this mountain.
What was the Thunder Potion?
After a thunder-type mage attracted lightning, they kept it in a container. And then, they would use magic to turn it into Thunder Potion.
In the past, it was a tool to curry favor with the Thunder God. It could even be said that without the power of an enchanter, one would not be able to even create the Thunder Potion...
After all, this was a drink exclusive to the Thunder God.
A happy drink for the Thunder God...
Furthermore, it had a function. It could improve the endowments and attributes of thunder-type professionals.
But this liquid was made out of lightning.
Professionals who did not have 100% thunder resistance would definitely be hurt.
Even after William broke through to the Advanced, he only had 30% lightning resistance.
A bottle had a chance of increasing his endowments, but he had drunk five of them. He lost 30 thousand Health points...
But as his Health continued to deplete,
His inner armor shone, and a Special Effect activated!
William recovered 60% of his Health.
But the Thunder Potion continued to harm him. It caused his Health to drop every second by 5%.
William widened his red eyes.
When he saw that his Health had dropped to 10% again.
He trembled as he took out a bottle of Life Potion...
Thump!
He took a big gulp. According to his current Health, he would be able to recover to full Health after drinking six drops. But he could not control his hands. He did not know how much of the Life Potion he had drunk!
But after he recovered all his Health, the floating sensation made William feel as if he was about to fly...
The effects of the Thunder Potion continued. Thunder Potion filled his organs, and recklessly attacked him. More accurately, the potion violently transformed his flesh, causing William's body to adjust to the lightning.
Ten minutes passed, and his Health recovered at the same speed as it was depleted!
The Thunder Potion wreaked havoc inside his body, while the Life Potion released energy.
A few minutes passed. The effects of the Life Potion disappeared, and the transformation process had also come to a stop.
"Huh..." William lay on the ground with his limbs spread out. He did not even want to lift a finger.
But gulping down five bottles of Thunder Potion had allowed him to obtain great benefits.
[Prompt: Your thunder attributes are undergoing a change]
[Prompt: Your endowment, Power of Thunder, has leveled up]
[Power of Thunder: You have 30% thunder attribute attack power and 30% thunder resistance. You also have a 30% chance of negating any thunder attribute attack.]
[Prompt: The (Special Effect) (Thunder Special Effect) (Light of Dawn) under the Holy Dawn Battle Energy has leveled up]
[Special Effect: Any battle energy skill will have a 25% increase in Attack Power and 260 points of thunder attribute attack]
[Thunder Special Effect: When you receive a close-combat attack, there is a 50% chance to activate a thunder attack. The enemy will receive negative buffs such as numbness, paralysis, and burn. It will also inflict 130 thunder attribute damage.]
[On top of a battle energy skill, the Light of Dawn will receive a 50% increase in battle energy points. Attack power will increase by 290%, and 560 thunder attribute damage will be inflicted. There is a cooldown of 18 minutes.]
"Not a loss!" After William saw the notification panel, he sighed deeply.
The effects of the Thunder Potion were ridiculous.
He received increments of thunder attribute Special Effects and endowments in all areas.
Of course, this was the reason why he had drunk five bottles of Thunder Potion in one gulp. If not, due to his luck, if he had drunk the bottles one by one, there might be no effect...
William had taken the risk as he had Life Potions. Thus, he was very daring.
"Just nice. The Special Effects of drinking ten drops of Life Potion have appeared. In the future, I can recover Health and broken limbs. I might even be able to reincarnate." William picked his eyebrows.
[Prompt: You have drunk ten drops of Life Potion]
[Prompt: Your lifespan has increased to 1000 years]
[Prompt: Your four attributes have increased by 50 points]
[Prompt: Your Health has increased 1000 points]
"I cannot continue to drag this. I will climb the mountain now." After drinking the Thunder Potion, William's thunder attributes were not the only thing that changed.
He had also gained a thunder buff that weakened thunder attribute attacks by 40%. This would last for five hours.
"Furthermore, with the Power of Thunder endowment, I don't believe that a lightning strike to my head will kill me."
Boom!
A bolt of lightning landed on his head...
Ah!
The handsome prince fell to the ground with a crash.
One second later, he got up and continued to climb.
Nothing happened.
Just a few thousand points of damage did not scare him.
The prince, who had the Life Potion, would stand up thousands of times after falling again and again. He was stubborn!
He had the ability to fly, but there was lightning all around. There was also a massive force that prevented him from flying.
Every 100 to 200 meters, a bolt of lightning would land.
William walked on the mountain. In his 1000-meter walk, he had been struck by lightning five or six times...
His skin had turned black. He looked at the peak of the mountain, and his expression changed.
This did not make sense!
He remembered that in his previous life, that player had not been struck. The player was also an Advanced player. Did he do something wrong?
Should he change his route?
Thus, he turned and walked a few hundred meters. Before long.
Pitter-patter!
Multiple bolts of lightning struck...
Three minutes later, William returned to his original position. He grabbed his Life Potion and rushed forth!
He would fight!
There was no other choice.
Everyone had different levels of luck.
But he was a tycoon!
He did not need good luck!
The mountains were burned black.
It took William a full hour to reach the top.
But he had used up half of his first Life Potion bottle...
Each bottle had 300 drops. He had drunk about 150 of them in his journey from the foot of the mountain to his current position. He had used all of it to recover his Health.
The higher he climbed, the stronger the lightning became. When he reached 9000 meters, lightning struck him, and he lost 20 thousand Health...
He did not dare to take the risk...
"F**k, in my previous life, that player was also Advanced, right? Although he was a few levels higher than me, he definitely did not have as much Health as I do. Was he the reincarnation of Luck itself?" William took a deep breath. He was very unsatisfied.
That person might have used something that reduced lightning attacks or drunk some potion to increase his lightning resistance to the maximum.
But no matter what, the number of times William had been struck was several dozen times that of that player...
But the moment William finally reached the peak of the mountain,
The lightning completely stopped!
The prince gulped. It was as if he could stretch out his hand into the clouds.
But he did not dare to...
Above him were dense, red waves of electricity. It was as if he had stepped into a sea of electricity.
It was within reach!
It was well within reach!
The dense, dark clouds above his head were shocking. Various colors of lightning existed one meter above his head.
They did not strike, probably because of the ring.
But this did not mean that the electricity would not flow down if he stretched his hand into the clouds.
William bent over and walked towards the peak of the mountain.
He had come here before.
Back then, there was no lightning. It was just a sightseeing visit after the Thunder God ring had been taken away.
But it was very different from now.
At the center of the peak!
He could see the ring!
The ring that was inviting lightning to strike.
The ring was on fire!
The blue lightning turned into fire and rose to the sky. The lightning fire was also the reason for the lightning clouds overhead.
It was not Legendary equipment.
It was a godly weapon!
"I am afraid." The closer William got to the ring, the lower the clouds overhead were. He had to crawl on the ground to get closer to the ring.
But when he was close by, he finally realized a big secret!
"The Thunder God's amputated finger. No, it was an arm?" William gasped in shock. He looked at the Thunder God's finger. The ring was on his middle finger!
The hand had fallen on the ground.
The other four fingers were bent. Only the middle finger was pointed upwards.
Yes, the middle finger was pointing...
A middle finger was pointing at the sky.
What an impressive hand.
"What should I do? Should I take it?" William hesitated. The ring was only secondary. The hand of the Thunder God was the real deal...
But if he touched it, he might die...
What if he died in seconds?
Would he be able to revive?
"Thunder God, please bless and protect me. I am your heir. Please don't attack me."
"Thunder God, please spare me. When I go back to the City of Dawn, I will build a temple for you. I will burn incense for you every day."
"If that's not enough, I will give you two bottles of happy drink?"
"Really, I am not kidding you. Thunder God's happy drink is tasty..."
William did not care about his image. Benefits were right in front of his eyes. He would fawn on the Thunder God. What if it was useful?
Therefore, he slowly stretched out his hand...
A Piercing attack!
An electric current attacked him.
William spasmed on the ground. He only recovered after some time passed.
He silently drank a few drops of the Life Potion.
He did not care!
He would fight!
He took out a full bottle of Life Potion. He drank all 300 drops!
Life energy spread throughout his body.
He was like Tang Seng[1]. His body became filled with life energy!
If a magical beast saw this, it would be able to sense that if it bit William, it might be able to live forever and never grow old...
William no longer hesitated. He stretched out his left hand through the blazing lightning and grabbed the hand of the Thunder God!
Boom!
Countless bolts of lightning struck!
Thunder crashed!
But at this moment, it could be seen that William, who was within a pillar of lightning, had not been injured. On the contrary, he even felt as if he was being integrated with the lightning!
But what made William afraid was that not only did he fail to take off the Thunder God ring, but the entire hand also started merging with his own hand!
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! No!"
Plop!
William collapsed on the ground.
There was no choice.
Since he could not resist the pain, he may as well enjoy it.
He was used to it...
