Chapter 525 Those Who Didn't Come Out, Died
Crack! Crack...
In this area, the sky was pitch black, with only flashes of blue light from the thunderbolts illuminating the space.
Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky and landed on Lachlan and the Corpse King!
Pfft!
Every time it was hit by lightning, a black corpse gas rose up from Corpse King's body before dissipating into the lightning element.
Its originally fierce and terrifying aura gradually weakened until it lay motionless on the ground.
Pfft pft!
Lachlan, who had been hit alongside it, also emitted a frightening electric current that made eerie sounds as it flowed through his body.
At this moment, Lachlan, apart from the mustard bag made of an unknown material and the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade, had already burned his clothes to ashes.
Not only that, his entire body was charred, as if enveloped in a layer of blackened material.
His skin, and even the superficial layers of flesh, were burned into charcoal by the lightning!
The raging thunder attribute wreaked havoc throughout his body, and the numbness and burning sensation it brought nearly caused Lachlan to pass out from the pain. However, his determination was firm, and his soul had been strengthened by the Dragon Ancestor's Soul, so he struggled to keep himself conscious.
The power of Rich Soil within his body surged wildly, maintaining his Rich Soil Unyielding Form.
At the same time, Dragon Energy carrying powerful vitality overflowed from his left kidney, repairing the damage inflicted on his body.
Of course, the speed of this repair was definitely slower than the speed at which it was destroyed by the lightning.
So although Lachlan hadn't died yet, his situation was incredibly dangerous!
He himself didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
At this moment, completely deprived of mobility, he lay there as if waiting for death.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Outside the Ward Residence, Erik, Harrison, and the Cohen family's members remained, not leaving.
The thunder continued incessantly, leaving them uncertain and filled with suspicion.
"Lachlan, it's my fault that you're in this state!" Erik repeated these words countless times, his face filled with guilt.
Harrison and Gonzo, on the other hand, wore somewhat peculiar expressions.
"Harrison, the thunder has been going on for so long. Could it be...?" Gonzo asked in bewilderment.
Harrison's expression turned grave, and he said in a deep voice, "That means... the Corpse King isn't dead yet!"
As he spoke, he took a sharp breath, feeling a shiver in his heart. "I can't imagine how powerful that Corpse King will become if it survives this heavenly calamity. At that time, this monster will wreak even more havoc, causing widespread devastation!"
Gonzo's face showed great concern upon hearing this, but then her tone shifted, saying, "Is it possible that the thunder is continuing because the Corpse King has died, and Lachlan is still alive?" Harrison fell silent upon hearing this.
Gonzo sighed and shook her head, knowing that this possibility was extremely low.
Wuwulawula...
At that moment, a siren sounded.
A line of fire trucks and police cars arrived at the scene.
The unusual phenomenon of continuous lightning strikes had finally attracted the attention of the relevant authorities.
Not only that, several helicopters flew over from a distance, hovering in the air to observe the surroundings, but not daring to approach too closely.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in uniform, accompanied by a group of law enforcement officers, got out of the car and walked quickly towards the Ward Residence.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
His face was filled with worry and fear.
He was Easton Ward, Anders' second son and a patrol officer in lylonio's law enforcement department.
Due to official duties, he hadn't returned to the family today.
"Dad!"
"What's going on? What has happened here?"
After getting out of the car, Easton stood outside the house, watching the continuous lightning strikes in the Ward Residence, his face filled with shock and worry.
In the next second, he was about to rush in with wide eyes. However, at that moment, a butler who had escaped from the Ward Residence earlier blocked Easton.
"Mr. Ward, don't go in! It's too dangerous inside! Not only is it being struck by lightning, but there's also a Corpse King!" The butler held onto Easton, his expression filled with fear and panic.
Upon hearing this, Easton stood
frozen on the spot, his eyes turning red as he scanned the surroundings, seemingly searching for certain people. In the next second, having found nothing, he grabbed the butler by the clothes and shouted, "Where is Anders? Where is my wife and my son, Edward? Where are they? Why haven't I seen many people? Are they still inside the Ward
Residence?"
Edward was Easton's son!
The butler, grabbed by Easton, wore a sorrowful and uneasy expression on his face as he said, "They're dead! And many others... they're all dead... They're dead..."
The butler, overwhelmed by fright, was on the verge of mental collapse, babbling incoherently.
"What did you say? Bullshit!"
Slap!
As soon as the words fell, Easton's face changed dramatically, and in a fit of shock and anger, he slapped the butler across the face. "Come with me to save them! Hurry!"
In the next second, he shouted at his colleagues and subordinates next to him, his eyes bloodshot, about to rush into the Ward Residence.
A captain from the fire department grabbed Easton at this moment and said, "Patrol Officer, there's continuous lightning inside, it's too dangerous! I suggest you stay in a safe area."
Upon hearing this, Easton shouted at the fire captain in excitement, "I don't give a damn! Go in and save people! Why don't you go in and save people too?"
The fire captain frowned, "Our people have already been inside, but there are no survivors. We can't approach the lightning area!"
"What the hell do you guys do? Huh?
Why can't you get close? Why don't Why can't you you rush in and save people? Figure something out, you firefighters! If this continues, everyone inside will die, and my house will burn down! Do you understand?"
Easton questioned angrily with red eyes.
At this moment, Erik walked over from not far away.
Erik's face carried a complex, sorrowful, and regretful expression as he said, "Easton, don't go in! Those who survived have already come out, and those who didn't... are
all dead! Going in won't help!"
As soon as he spoke, Easton stood there dumbfounded, looking at Erik and the Ward family, his face twisted with rage.
"Erik? It's you! How are you all fine? Huh? It was you who killed my father, killed Edward, and killed the people of my family, right? It's all because of you!" He shouted hysterically, his eyes filled with hatred, grief, and anger.
He knew that his family was going to have contact with the family in Edoland today, and he immediately associated the cause of this disaster with them.
