Infinite Potential System

Chapter 271 : Lightning Annihilation



"What do we do about him?" one of the Elders asked nervously. They were just as worried as the Mayor that William would kill them and take over Blue Moon.

No one responded, instead focusing on the situation of the battlefield. Their attention shifted to Sections One and Five, which were the furthest from William\'s position and had the most trouble taking on the Golden Core Enemies.

While many Players had reached the standards of a Golden Core Cultivator, only a select few could keep up with a Magical Beast in the same Realm. When fighting one on one, they had to be prepared for any sudden change in the environment, lest they be killed before they have a chance to react.

The previous Elemental Beast Tide had given many of the leading Players a chance to widen the gaps between themselves and others, but this Tide turned out to be much more brutal. The number of Golden Core enemies was immense, and killing any of them in a short amount of time was impossible.

That\'s why, when the Players saw NPC William on the battlefield, many ignored their battlefield assignments and rushed closer to the Blessing Domain he had opened. Anything that could improve their strength was worth more than wasting time in the outer Sections.

"Hey, you! Come back here! Where are you going?" their leadership looked at them with surprise and anger as the newly recruited Adventurers abandoned their tasks and fled to the center of the battlefield.

The leaders couldn\'t give chase, so they were forced to grit their teeth and fight defensively to stall for time. They grouped up with other leaders in the same position, reaching for their communicators as they fought to contact the higher-ups on the city walls.

William saw the group of Cultivators heading in his direction for the Blessing buff, but he didn\'t entertain the idea. Instead, he floated into the air using the Wind Element, channeling Mana of the Lightning Element to recreate a Heavenly Tribulation, though not as powerful in the same level as the original.

"Carl, Filipe, Gunther. Help me out here!" William called down to his friends that weren\'t otherwise occupied, opening his Domain of Wind and Lightning to give his group the ability to fly while increasing the power of his Lightning Spell.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, crackling with electricity that matched William\'s aura. The Magical Beasts looked up in fear, just in time for a series of lightning bolts to pulverize their bodies into dust.

William didn\'t have enough room in his Space Rings for all the Magical Beasts, so he didn\'t bother restraining the Spell this time. He continuously channeled Mana into the clouds to keep the Spell going.

Carl pulled back one more summon to guard William, while Gunther blasted ice at any projectiles the Magical Beasts launched. Filipe cast a glance around the battlefield, searching out any Magical Beasts that were preparing Magic and disrupting them.

With his friends dealing with the annoyances, William was able to place almost full concentration on his Spell, improving his accuracy and timing greatly. Dozens of Magical Beasts were wiped out each second, their ashes scattered by the Domain of Wind.

--Calculation complete. Issuing Potential Points...

The entire left half of William\'s vision filled up with floating text, the Potential Points from the last few hours stacking up and adding to his total balance.

I knew he was a clone, at least I still get some Points for it. William sighed when he saw the message related to Supreme Left.

Most of his Potential Points came from killing Beasts, but he had also upgraded two of his Titles to Mythic. If he could just kill a bit over twelve thousand more Beasts, he could reach the Celestial Rank, which would be a nice boost to his total Points.

William continued focusing on the Lightning Annihilation Spell as it was now named, more incentivized to kill the Beasts faster since the System had returned.

He was worried the entire time that it wouldn\'t give him any Potential Points, but William realized that was a silly thought since the System had already proven it could look into his mind.

-You thought I wouldn\'t give you Points? Maybe I should take them back since you didn\'t trust me...

Please don\'t! I need these! William lamented in his mind. The worst thing you could do to a loot goblin was take away his loot.

You can push me over, beat me up, or even kill me, but you cannot, absolutely CAN NOT take my loot!

William pushed the Lightning Annihilation Spell as far as it could go, releasing hundreds of Lightning Bolts a second, tearing apart waves of Magical Beasts in an instant. In just ten seconds, a thousand more Magical Beasts had died, and thirty seconds later another three thousand.

Less than a minute after that, the only remaining Magical Beasts were the lucky few that dove underground before being targeted. Even the Nascent Soul Beasts couldn\'t survive more than a single Lightning Bolt, killed by the second just moments later.

These exaggerated effects weren\'t solely because William had opened his Lightning Domain, but also because his Cultivation was now in the Core Formation Realm. With the improved Cultivation, his S-Rank Magic had increased by at least forty percent, a stark difference compared to before.

After giving it some thought, William realized that almost every Talent he owned could at least compare to the Soul Formation Realm. The only exceptions were some of his resistances, his Wrestling Talent, the Order Element, and some of the Trade Talents.

With the vast majority of the Magical Beasts dead, the other Cultivators were able to quickly finish off the rest. William didn\'t hold back in helping them out, wanting to secure as many Potential Points as possible.

The Fire Mine may have given him loads of Potential Points, but each Magical Beast was worth a fifth of the value of the Greater Fire Shards, yet it was much easier to kill a Magical Beast than it was to extract minerals.
