Chapter 41 The Thunderstorm Domain
-Fein's POV-
This martial art technique was created because I was inspired to create a technique that would allow me to injure a person internally. It was for ability users that have a tough defense. So the technique principle that I used is similar to Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist.
I named the technique Fist of Gentleness. It's a technique that targets the acupuncture points of the body and infuses it with a slight amount of Degu. The infused degu energy would conflict with the opponent's energy, causing a disruption that would ultimately injure that target's internal organs.
There is a huge restriction in this technique though. And not everyone could use it. Because the user needs to be familiar with the acupoints of the human body, have some extensive knowledge of human anatomy and lastly have perfect control or manipulation of their Degu energy. As a doctor and a scientist, this technique is custom-made for me. Though, I need to use a fist instead of my sword which would increase my risk of getting hit by the opponent's attack because of the reduced range.
I looked at the Wind Bear that was now looking at the sky howling. I was curious about what it was doing so I followed its line of sight and looked at the sky.
Suddenly, the wind bear growled. It was loud enough to disrupt my hearing. Just like that, a huge spike of Degu energy was flowing out of the mutated wind bear. The sunny day was slowly replaced by a surging dark cloud.
The sudden shift of weather reminded me of the Thunderstorm domain that I had seen when I used probed on it earlier.
"Not good" I quickly rushed towards the bear at a very fast speed. I'm not the type of person that would let the enemy use its super move and just stupidly wait for it. First of all, that would put me to risk. Secondly, the only dumb and arrogant person would do that instead of using it as an opportunity, and lastly, as a transmigrator, I have my own pride. I won't let the power of the plot have power over me. those things only happen on stupid MCs on fantasy novels
I quickly appeared beside the bear who was currently flabbergasted like he wasn't expecting me to attack. Did it think that I would just stand there foolishly? So just like that, my hand were quickly wrapped with a trace amount of violet aura. After that, I attacked the acupoints of the bear precisely. The barrage of the attack came and the wind bear was unable to dodge because it was currently launching its special move "Thunderstorm Domain" Which I presume takes a certain amount of time.
The bear looked at me with a confused face because it didn't feel pain. but just as it was ready to complete its final phase of the attack. It finally felt that energy wrecking havoc on its body. Its face slowly transitioned from an initially confused face to a face distorted by pain.
*Growl!!*
The Mutated Wind Bear howled in the pain that it was currently experiencing. Just imagine that when it was just a light scratch it was already crying and now that it experiences ruptured organs the pain would undoubtedly become unbearable to it.
Just as I was waiting for it to pass out, the dark clouds in the sky which should have already dissipated unexpectedly condensed a ray of lightning, and it came towards me in the blink of an eye. I knew that I couldn't dodge it so Instead of evading it, I made a defensive posture to cover my vital points.
Suddenly, a huge electric current flowed throughout my body. The lightning tore my muscle tissues and burnt my clothes. It was a pain that I have never experienced before. If I didn't have a high lightning resistance there's a probability of me dying, or at best paralyzed for life. So, I was thankful for my training. My hard work paid off and it save me from the worst-case scenario.
All of this just happens in a second. The lightning went out just as fast as it came. I shooked my head slightly to reduce the nausea and dizziness that I feel. I looked at my current appearance. I was now covered in black ashes and my whole body was exuding a burnt smell like charcoal. As I was about to fall, a hand supported me. I looked towards the owner of the hands only to see Simon who had a worried expression and looked at the passed-out bear in the distance with a horrified face.
So, I also looked at it. It has a human-like satisfied face after passing out. I couldn't even fathom that there would exist a vengeful beast like that. Because at the last minute, It clearly endured the immense pain it was experiencing just to make a counterattack.
I now had taken note of this lesson and decided to be extra cautious next time. But, I'm also thankful and scared at the same time at the ability it has. It was fucking comparable to a natural disaster. The power of nature definitely belongs to one of the most destructive powers in the world. Just imagining the outcome if I haven't manage to stop it earlier. The consequences would be disastrous. Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill crawling on my back.
Now, I understand how powerful a domain could be. A domain can affect the terrain and environment to be advantageous to oneself. So, without absolute strength, It's best to flee early when facing an opponent who had a domain. Specifically, a domain that can affect nature just like the Thunderstorm Domain.
I looked at the passed-out Wind Bear with envious eyes.
"How good it would be if also had domain powers?" I complained quietly.
Though, If I would have given the chance to pick. I would still choose my growth-type ability over a domain. because my ability only gets stronger long term. With enough time, I could beat domain-type users into a pulp.
It is also safe to safe that the domain abilities are rare due to their uniqueness. And that is even more true when it comes to nature-type domains.
