Everything around him vanished for a moment as the lightning slammed into him.
All he could see was pure white, and the worst part was that none of his defense spells did anything to mitigate the damage.
It didn't break his barrier—it simply pierced through it, leaving him exposed, relying solely on his own body's durability to survive.
Index's handmade robe, usually a safeguard against such dangers, didn't even activate.
This lightning wasn't a normal element—it had something behind it that bypassed the laws of physics, preventing anyone from stopping it.
No wonder Pantheon warned him. His body wasn't strong enough yet to handle this kind of power.
And if it hadn't been for the scales now covering his skin, he would have been torn apart.
And this was just the first strike. The storm was far from over.
'I need to focus on my body,' he decided, choosing to cast spells that would enhance his durability to the fullest.
