[Do you wish to continue the tribulation to the second stage, or end the advancement here?]
A choice? I can stop now if I want.
Leon considered for only a single second before deciding firmly:
Continue. I'll never get this opportunity again.
The fourth lightning bolt descended onto him immediately after his mental confirmation.
CRACK! STRIKE! SEAR!
"Urgh!"
This strike was noticeably more brutal than the previous ones.
His skin visibly sizzled—the first actual physical injury significant enough that his natural passive regeneration wasn't sufficient.
Damage is exceeding my healing rate now.
He had to actively channel Life elemental energy to heal the burns as they formed.
HEAL! RESTORE! MEND!
The tribulation continued relentlessly.
The seventh thunderbolt descended with devastating force.
BOOM! STRIKE! RAVAGE!
This time, instead of just grunting despite his exceptional pain tolerance, Leon actually screamed audibly.
"AHHHHH!"
