Challenging the source.

Do you want to die said nick cause I know if that lighting strikes you, you will die.

I didn't see the book asking me to get burned or something to embrace the source right, what if your wrong asked Asher.

And if am not said Ethan, the book didn't ask you because when two flames meet they merge into one forming a bigger flame , so you don't have to embrace your own source Asher because you are already part of the source.But when two lighting collide neutralize each other .

If your wrong about you could get seriously injured worst die said nick.

I know but this is a gamble am willing to take said Ethan.

Ethan breathes in and stretches his hand upward.

He channeled his essence to his figure tip but still nothing happened.

What am I doing wrong it clearly said face the source.

Ethan decided to change his approach instead of channeling to his finger, he channeled his essence through his whole body.

Circulating the essence within his body and building it upward, releasing his essence.

What is he doing asked Asher.

Immediately a loud sound could be heard and a flash of lighting aiming directly at Ethan but missed him by a few inches.

I think that was a warning sign said Asher.

Are you sure of this said nick.

Can you guys stop talking said Ethan.

Ethan then let his essence poured out his essence that he was losing more than he was regaining it. He's essence kept depleting at a fast rate.

As Ethan poured out his essence it seemed to attract the lighting as it immediately stroke Ethan. Ethan drops to his feet coughing out blood.

Ethan shouted Asher and Nick angry they couldn't help Ethan on anyway as they knew the won't be able to survive if they got striked one of them.

Ethan wap's away the bloodstain from his mouth. Is that all you got strike me shouted Ethan pushing out his essence even more.

It seemed that made the lighting even angry as it stroke Ethan with much more force than before. Ethan body started to crack from the pressure and force of the lighting.

Ethan shouted Asher.

Wait said nick pointing to Ethan, his body it's building it self back up.

Ethan kept breaking and building it self, As more lighting kept striking him, his body kept absorbing the lighting becoming more stronger and harder than before.

Soon the storm cleared and the rain stopped.

Luckily Ethan was still kneeling at the spot he was.

He did it he actually survived said Asher.

Nick was also shocked.

Ethan struggles to stand on his feet and immediately collapsed to the floor.

Asher and Nick rushed and picked him up but Ethan has already fainted.

We better get him back to his bed said nick.

Asher and Nick carried him back to there room.

Far from the mountain two man we're standing at a hill looking at the direction of the mountain.

Who can believe he actually did it, he survived true lighting not many can brag about that said instructor luke.

I was actually scared when he coughed out blood, I was planning to move and save him but he still stood his ground said instructor duke.

I guess we have really talented casters this year said instructor luke while instructor duke nodded, After all the kingdom will need people like this boy if we all to survive what is coming.
