Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 877: Comprehending The Thunder Law

”Look at the mountain peak.” Isabelle said, stopping in place and observing the mountain peak.

”Woah! How is the concentration of Thunder Element so much higher there? Wait—Is that a person?” The young man was astonished sensing the presence of Thunder Element, but then his brows shot up when he felt a human presence on the mountain.

”It seems so.” The other man nodded, his brows knitted together in confusion.

”But shouldn’t we be the only ones from Thunder Group to be here today?” The young man asked.

”That’s right.” The other man nodded and said, ”Let’s just go and find out who he is.”

Saying this, he was about to move, but Isabelle raised her hand, and stopped them. ”Don’t rush.”

”Hmm?”

The duo looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she wasn’t rushing over to find out the reason for this anomaly.

But then they heard Isabelle say, ”Focus your divine sense and sense the Thunder Element carefully.”

Though confused, the duo obeyed and did as she asked them to, and a short while later, astonishment colored their features, this was especially true for the younger man.

”There are Thunder Law fluctuations—that person is about to catch a glimpse of Thunder Law!” They exclaimed in unison.

After feeling this, they understood why she stopped them. If they went over, that would surely have disturbed the person cultivating and it would have dispersed the gathering Thunder Law.

But if they went over after he began comprehending it, as long as they were careful, that person wouldn’t be disturbed and they could reap some benefits too by deepening their understanding of the Thunder Law.

Immediately, they became excited and became completely quiet, as if afraid that the tiniest sound would ruin things for Max.

But after a while, the younger man seemed to have become restless and transmitted it to both the other man and Isabelle, [I hope it doesn’t take more than a month.]

[Why? You think waiting for a month or two would be a waste?] Isabelle asked, raising her brows teasingly.

As for the other man, he silently chuckled and shook his head.

The young man’s expression became a little awkward, [It wouldn’t be a waste per se, it would just be too boring.]

[Little Ryuu, you need to cultivate more and eliminate this flaw of yours—the impatience.] Isabelle advised,

[No matter how high your talent is, at some stage, just it wouldn’t be enough to achieve some things. At that time, you would need to spend time, months and even years. If you are still so impatient at that time, you would just get stuck and that would end your cultivation journey.]

[I understand, Elder Sister.] The young man, Ryuu, sheepishly nodded.

This wasn’t the first time she had called him out on his impatience, and he knew what she was saying was true—Impatience wasn’t a good thing for a mage.

However... ever since he began cultivating, his journey had been very fast and smooth and he just got used to it.

’Alright. This time, no matter how much time that guy takes to comprehend the law, I would force myself to wait without feeling—’

[It seems we don’t need to wait at all. He is about to begin comprehending.]

Just as he was cementing his determination to patiently wait, Isabelle’s transmission sounded in his ears.

”...”

He was dumbfounded. Raising his head to look at the sky, he thought, ’My Gods, you really don’t want me to correct my flaws and become a better person, do you?’

Jokes aside, he, just like Isabelle and the other man, Mike, was shocked at the speed at which Law Fragments were gathered because when they first noticed the law’s presence, it was still solidifying around Max and was in its initial stages.

Normally, it took several days to weeks for it to progress from the initial stage to all the way to the final even in the superior Law cultivation sites.

Since this site, the mountain peak, was just a middling site in terms of law presence, it should have taken at least one and a half months even if Max’s affinity with the Thunder Element was really high.

However, just a few minutes had passed since then and things had already reached the final stage.

[Get ready!] Isabelle said, feeling Max was going to begin comprehending the law at any moment.

Ryuu and Mike got ready to rush over at a moment’s notice, not wanting to waste even a single moment of this heaven-sent opportunity.

A second passed...

Then another...

In the third second, all the Thunder elemental mana on the mountain peak, both liquid and gaseous trembled which gave the illusion that fabric of space around Max was twisting. At the same time, the Thunder Law Fragments became active, creating a unique forcefield around Max.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Isabelle didn’t need to speak this time as the three of them shot toward the mountain peak at the same time.

Just a moment later, they arrived in Max’s vicinity, but maintained the distance of 100 meters, barely touching the boundary of the forcefield. They then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed their eyes and began sensing the ambient thunder Law.

As for Max, within the forcefield, he was lying on the ground, unmoving, seemingly asleep. However, this wasn’t the case at all—just like when he comprehended the Fire Law, he felt as if he was facing a terrifying entity that was about to crush him. The sensation of impending death was extremely clear which activated his fight and flight instincts.

The only difference this time was that he wasn’t feeling as if he was set on fire. Instead, he was feeling as if he was being electrocuted while deafening booms sounded in his mind, throwing his mind in chaos.

If it was his first time comprehending a Law, he would surely have failed even with his bloodline’s assistance. Fortunately, it was not.

After an undetermined amount of time later, Max felt his senses become clear and the world around seemed to become vibrant.

At the same time, an extremely pleasant sensation coursed through his entire body, causing each and every one of his cells to cry out in joy—it was a heavenly feeling.

Unfortunately, it disappeared not long after, making him frown in displeasure.

Then, just as he intended to scan himself to examine the changes within his body...

”Hey naked guy, did you fail?”

A crisp voice asked, and he immediately shot to his feet, his guard up.

Swoosh!
