A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1794

Chapter 1794: You Can Go More Peacefully

It hurts.

Mag, who was trapped underneath the octopus monster’s tentacles, was numb all over from the lightning’s strike. He couldn’t move at all.

Although Bro Octopus had undertaken most of the lightning strike for him, he’d never expected that this octopus monster was a conductor. The tribulation lightning flowed to him indirectly after landing on the monster.

…

Fortunately, the tribulation lightning seemed to have passed through an octopus-shaped resistance as it went through the octopus monster’s body before going to Mag’s body. The electrical power seemed to be perfect. It achieved the effect of clearing the blood vessels, and prevented the horrible consequences of killing Mag immediately because the lightning was overpowered.

After being struck twice continuously, the unbridled octopus monster was finally scared. The tens of thousands of eyeballs spun around furiously, and stared at the top of the cave. It didn’t dare to move for some time.

The black mud on the octopus’ body’s surface was already integrated by the lightning. However, after the lightning strikes, the octopus’ body surface turned black, and the octopus looked rather ridiculous.

The people who had suffered continuous defeats at the hand of this octopus monster began to have even greater doubts about Alex while feeling exhilarated.

Everyone knew Alex was the most powerful knight ever in history. He had great power which allowed him to engage in close combat with giant dragons.

However, the power that he displayed today was control over powerful lightning.

The terrifying lightning, which nobody knew where it came from, even struck the unmatched devil silly.

However, what they were more concerned about was Alex, who had disappeared. Was he still alive after that terrifying tribulation lightning?

***

Right then, all the powerhouses who were guarding the exterior of the underground cavern were looking at the 10-colored lightning cloud with a shock expression.

The terrifying lightning bolts that had landed one after the other created a pitch-black crater in the middle of all of them.

Moreover, they were certain that the lightning’s target wasn’t the ground. Its target was most likely underground.

To have triggered such a terrifying lightning… Everyone’s only suspect was that devil.

They didn’t know what was happening underground now. Was the new seal’s spell formation completed? Did that devil burst out from the old seal?

“The seal was broken through, and Alex is fighting with the devil now!”

Right then, someone among the first batch of the formation masters that had retreated from the underground cavern answered the powerhouses’ questions.

“Alex!”

All of them looked shocked. Perhaps it was Alex who created this commotion?

“I heard that Alex used lightning to battle the Fear Demons’ powerhouses at the Boundless Sea Realm a few months ago. He even struck down Bashir aggressively,” Douglas said gravely.

The few Fear Demon powerhouses who came as reinforcements all looked away. However, when they looked at the tribulation cloud that was spinning in the sky, they couldn’t deny that today’s scene was, in fact, rather familiar.

“I didn’t expect Alex to be so powerful when he returned after disappearing for three years. We, too, will have to retreat if we face this terrifying lightning,” Louis lamented.

“Perhaps, he has already gone through 10th-tier, and reached the legendary state?” Franklin exclaimed.

A commotion erupted immediately when that statement was made.

On the Norland Continent, 10th-tier was the pinnacle.

Louis, who was very powerful, was slightly more powerful than normal 10th-tier powerhouses after living for thousands of years. However, he was far from achieving a huge divide like the one between the 9th-tier and the 10th-tier.

Whether there was a more powerful existence above the 10th-tier had always been a mystery.

Some said the gods revered by all the races were once powerhouses that had burst through the restraints of the 10th-tier.

However, the Norland Continent had long cut off communication with the gods, so nobody knew if this was true.

And the terrifying lightning summoned by Alex today let the powerhouses feel a scary potential. Even the physically powerful giant dragons didn’t dare to say how much of them would be left if they decided to withstand the lightning.

The lightning cloud that was still hovering in the sky harbored a greater terror.

Like the fury of the sky and earth, it made them scared and even want to submit to it.

“H-how did he become so powerful…”

Josh, who was standing afar, went white when he heard their conversations.

He was staring at that cavern with bloodshot eyes. He had never wanted that devil to burst out and kill that fellow who had been lording over him for 10-odd years like now.

Just then, the third wave of lightning began to dash out from the tribulation cloud with a loud bang.

The number of lightning bolts changed from three to five. Five tribulation lightning bolts came out, and crashed down together.

All the powerhouses quickly backed off, afraid to be implicated by the lightning strikes.

They would only turn to dust if they were struck by this lightning!

Meanwhile, Mag, who was pinned under the octopus tentacles, had almost lost all his space to move around. Just as he was about to take Fat Head Fish out, the thunder sounded again.

The five lightning bolts actually twisted into a five-colored tribulation lightning that was almost the size of the octopus monster’s head, which it smashed onto.

The thunder accompanied lightning and the octopus monster’s shrill scream, and the five-colored tribulation lightning went into its body. Even its internal organs could be clearly seen after it was lit up by the lightning. The countless octopus tentacles swung around uncontrollably, smashing rocks into dust. The cave shook as if it was going to collapse at any time.

Urien created a one-man-tall ice wall just in time, and shielded Jonas and the new spell formation behind it, letting the octopus tentacles glide across its surface smoothly.

However, Mag, who was surrounded by the octopus tentacles, wasn’t so lucky this time as to depend on the octopus monster to pass through the tribulation lightning.

Apart from the lightning that landed on him after passing through the octopus monster’s body, the five-colored lightning actually went through the gaps in between the octopus monster’s tentacles, and landed on his head.

The lightning striking his head was just like an ax hacking him right on the head before it split into countless little axes that slowly split open and smashed every single cell. That extreme pain made him howl uncontrollably.

This was a process that kept repeating. The lightning moved in his body, and every part of his body repeated the process between fragmentation and reorganization continuously.

Even though Mag had gone through tribulation lightning nine times, the past nine tribulation thunderbolts together couldn’t compare to the pain and ordeal brought upon by this current one.

He even had the urge to take out Fat Head Fish to give himself a strike.

However, he had lost the control over his body now. He couldn’t even turn his head, let alone lift his cleaver.

He widened his eyes as he tried to try to find something that could attract his attention.

Then, he saw that there actually was a golden egg inside the octopus monster’s body, which he could see through in the lightning’s glow.

“What’s that?” Mag’s eyes widened gradually. Perhaps the octopus came from an egg? However, even Nezha[1] only had a three-year gestation period. This fellow had been sealed here for countless years. Did it have constipation even when it was pooping out an egg?

Before Mag could see clearly, the pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and the octopus monster’s body slowly reverted to its normal form.

Mag clenched his fist, and a never-felt-before powerful sensation surged in his body. At the same time, he instantly grasped all the battle techniques that only a 10th-tier would know and use to the extreme.

So this is how a 10th-tier feels. A hint of a smile appeared on Mag’s lips. He flicked a glance at Jonas, who was about to complete the new seal.

Now, it was time for Mag to display his real power.

Although the octopus monster’s aura was weakened drastically, it still withstood this tribulation. At the same time, it noticed the new seal spell formation was going to close up, and it immediately went berserk. Dozens of tentacles rose up and smashed at Jonas.

Boom…

Right then, a thunder sounded again.

“Damn, why is there still another one?!” Mag was shocked. His power had already risen to 10th-tier, so this tribulation lightning should be over too.

“The external help that the Host engaged is too powerful. God might have judged this as a violation, so He issued an extra tribulation!

“The power of this coming tribulation is too great. Given the Host’s physical fitness and mental endurance, this System’s suggestion is: lie flat.”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Can I evade the lightning by lying flat?” asked Mag.

“You can go more peacefully. Goodbye, Host. Perhaps we can meet again in the next world.”

The system began to play Unforgettable Tonight…

Mag: 凸(艹皿艹)!
