The flag in Thunder Region is in Thunder Plains. Thunder Plains is the first area you step into once you set foot in Thunder Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. You are only allowed to move in the Thunder Plains. If you move out, you are are disqualified.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus the three blurry silhouettes stopped on a rather barren plains. They were already reaching the core area of the Thunder Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Region had a rather gloomy sky with thick and dark clouds. Thunder Plains was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they came across and fight creatures that wielded the power of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even plants and trees emitting the lighting mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning mana rich environment made them a force to reckon with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the hundreds of plans and animals they had seen in the Thunder region, the only common point was they all had lighting and…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every place was bombarded by lightning frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa snapped her fingers and teleported to the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting bolts with the thickness of a bucket struck her previous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lighting broke the earth and raised thick dust into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite perfectly evading the lighthing, Maissa wasn't pleased. With her space sense, she was able to clearly feel the amount of damage the lighting had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwaves were enough to injure a level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direct attack itself was enough to instantly disarm a level 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The intensity of lighting is steadily increasing.\" She said with a solemn expression and looked at her two teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh, being level 6 controller simply dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whilst Tiama, the level 6 Lightning Awakener let the lighting strike his body. He even seemed pleased each time the lightning struck as his lips curled up wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…are you a masochist?\" She couldn't help but ask with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? No! Why did you even think of that?\" The golden haired youth seemed hurt as he looked at her with sad eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh shook his head and patted Tiama while made a lip movement to Maissa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Tiama is hyperactive…alright, he tends to get emotional.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa understood his words and coughed slightly. Looking at Tiama sad face, she felt like she was a bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry. You enjoyed the lightning strikes. As far as I know, Lightning Awakeners don't really improve with those strokes, am I wrong?\" She asked with genuine curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiama regained his cheerful expression and raised his head in pride. \"You're partly right. We, Lightning Awakeners don't directly improve with lighting strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a genius, I can use my lightning sense to deeply analyze their workings. As they say, nature is the best teacher. And I always try to be the best stud—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Yeah. She gets it. Let's get going.\" Ashtarh patted Tiama and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiama looked at Maissa to confirm. Only after she nodded did he pat his chest and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his lead, they quickly travelled thirty miles and reached the entrance of a large valley covered by mountains on all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team of three prepared to meet their first challenge and as the strongest, Ashtarh took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the so-called Thunder Shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley's entrance was filled with a thick fog coated with lightning mana preventing them to see anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, Ashtarh's senses alerted him. The even breathing, friction of metal cutting the air and friction of scales rubbing…scales?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh gripped his spear and? hurriedly looked up. His eyes narrowed and he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have a situation. Sixty degrees up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa and Tiama spread their special senses and gasped in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost three miles above the ground, five griffins were gazing down at them. Their wings were made of golden scales as they shone with lightning mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that they were found, the golden griffins exerted their aura and a huge lightning circle under them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\" Maissa opened her mouth and was about to ask Ashtarh if this was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back off! Back off!\" He said quickly and back flipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiama's body flashed and he pushed himself away with lighting mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa's hair stood erect and she appeared a mile away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a flash of light passed and the surroundings went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then all of a sudden, the ground shook and Maissa tumbled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—\" Her words were caught in her mouth as she saw a huge pit in the position they were previously standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are not normal level 6s.\" Ashtarh appeared beside her and said in a solemn voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze never left the huge golden circle under the griffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiama's voice sounded from a distance. \"You're right. That circle combines their powers with a good efficiency and attacks us. That attack is slightly stronger than a peak level 6.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech!\" The griffins screeched and the golden circle lit up in a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh didn't hesitate and said. \"Maissa, teleport me and Tiama to their top.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa grabbed Ashtarh's hand, teleported to Tiama's side and looked up at the griffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave one for me.\" She said cooly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge lightning struck down once again and right when it was about to hit them, the trio disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech!\" The griffins in the air sensed three new presences and quickly scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their skin shone with a brilliant gold as lightning mana covered every inch of their being and created a solid defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh's sword flowed like a dance as it cut through the lightning armor and cleaved the mighty creature into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a pause, he kicked into the air and his body shifted a few hundred meters just before another griffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foot landed on the head of a griffin and blasted it to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two down. Three to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked with another griffin a few hundred meters away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The griffin's eyes dilated for a split second and its survival instincts kicked in. With a screech, it shot a lighting bolt at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" Ashtarh snorted and kicked the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the force, he evaded the lightning and rushed towards the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The griffin's wings stiffened and it was about to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, the space around its wings compressed and then suddenly, burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its wings were broken and its flesh and blood were scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh sensed Maissa behind him and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he heard a loud thunder clap behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he saw Tiama's lightning spear crack open the griffin's defense and pierce its eye, all the way to its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the fifth one?\" He asked, during his speech, he was already descending down towards the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here.\" Maissa appeared beside him with an eagle head in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength doesn't lose to mine.\" He narrowed his eyes and said sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa clenched her fists and the space around the head in her head compressed, crushing the head into a mush of bone and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe.\" She replied vaguely and touched his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the trio were once again in front of the valley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no more griffins. We're good to go.\" Ashtarh carefully sensed and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio walked through the white fog and entered the area of 'Thunder Shrine.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa's eyes widened as she opened her mouth in shock. The hair on her neck stood erect as she gulped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of them were thirty strange humanoids dressed in golden armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the sky were….thirty griffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh boy, this is going to take a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","891156f93e3e406230d50b24a153b7271d709c81554d6c40fc78750d60d760c8","divine-path-system-chapter-276","divine-path-system-chapter-274",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
