293 Chapter 293: The Saga of Amon in Fulgura - Part 2
"Did that really happen?"
"Barbara, try to calm down!"
"How can I be calm when the where Amon was training just disappeared from the Tower?"
Bianca understood Barbara''s desperation. Internally, she shared the same feelings, but as the eldest of the group, she had to stayposed, even though she wished to give in to her emotions. After all, it had been two long months of uncertainty.
They had been in the dark all this time, and only now did they discover the shocking truth: Fulgura had mysteriously disconnected from the Tower. The''s location coordinates were deleted, making it impossible to reach it with a spaceship.
Fighting her own fear, Ariel stated, "It''s painful to admit, but..." She took a deep breath, searching for the right words. "At least we know he''s still breathing. The mark made with his blood at the university still indicates his vitality. As long as he''s alive, we must hold onto hope."
Julia, wiping away tears, agreed, "Ariel is right. Amon is strong; he won''t be defeated so easily."
The real issue was... How much they missed him.
The twins'' birthday had passed, which should have been one of their happiest moments, but then this happened...
Before, the two would argue over who would be the ''first'' to have a rtionship with Amon, but then this took ce...
via even came to them to apologize, as it was her idea for Amon to go to Fulgura.
Of course, none of them was irrational; what via did was with the intent of helping Amon, it wasn''t wrong... It just so happened that some mysterious factor did something to prevent Amon from returning indefinitely.
via had said at the time, "Even if the coordinates are gone, he can still be found. The federation is taking this very seriously, so the best thing to do is wait for him to return."

Meanwhile, the reason for the girls'' worry and anguish...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Like meteors, three figures plummeted from the sky, their bodies crashing into the earth imposingly, raising dust and resonating thunderous echoes. The force of the impact caused them to slightly sink into the ground.
"This is the power of a Grandmaster..." Possessing almost 500 lightning genes, Amon could feel this pulsating energy coursing through him.
However, there was something peculiar about his voice. Upon reaching the Grandmaster Rank, Amon acquired ''Sorrow'' genes, and with 450 of these, this emotion became dominant over the others that were at a mere level 100.
Interestingly, Amon had previously tested these genes on a lesser creature. The result? The creature felt so mncholic that it ended its own life!
"A powerful emotion, and dangerously influential," Amon reflected, with a somber tone.
If he had to describe it, he would say this was the second emotion that deeply consumed him, almost impossible to contain, simr to the Rage he once felt.
Perhaps the intensity of ''Rage'' was due to the fact he had experienced it at the beginning of his journey to be stronger. This emotion, ''Sorrow'', became dominant when surpassing level 100 and reaching level 450. And if things keep going this way, he might reach level one thousand. And when that timees...
Amon looked up at the sky, letting out a mncholic sigh.
"Julia, Bianca, Ariel, Barbara, Maisa... How I miss you all..." He murmured, his voice filled with longing. "When will I be able to leave this ce? I''ve achieved the Grandmaster Rank, but the Tower hasn''t reappeared, and I''m still unable tomunicate with anyone, even the federation..."
He checked his watch, noting the absence of any connection.
With a deep sigh, Amon realized his only option was to remain resilient and persist in his training.
Turning his attention to the bodies of the fallen creatures, he meticulously began the process of disassembling them, selecting the juiciest cuts for his meal.
"Could the key to my escape lie in replicating that insect''s ability?" He pondered as he lit a fire to roast the meat.
The insect in question had a rare and fascinating ability. When feeling threatened or simply wanting to move, it could align with the environmental electric currents, acting as a natural conductor. This mechanism allowed it to teleport, moving from one point to another instantly, harnessing the energy and speed of phenomena like lightning. It was as if, in a sh, it could ride the bolts, bing one with the electricity and vanishing into the horizon.
Amon was convinced that by mastering this skill andbining it with his current power, he could detect electric currents at astronomical distances and thus teleport to another. In a new ce, perhaps establishing a connection and contacting Bianca, the others, or even the federation would be feasible.
Though it was an approach full of dangers, at the moment, it seemed like his most promising option.
After his meal, Amon headed to the mountain range, home to these insects, located near a peculiar lightningke.
Thiske was a natural wonder. Lightning danced around it, illuminating the waters with intense, silvery shes of light. Each electric discharge produced a melody, like an orchestra of thunder resonating through the air.
The reflection of sparks on the water''s surface created a luminous disy, turning thendscape into a theater of shadows and lights. The environment pulsed with energy, and the constant buzz of electric charges gave the impression of being in front of a living, powerful entity.
The insects Amon observed were almost magically drawn to the sounds emanating from theke. They teleported from one side to the other, moving in harmony, as if performing a ritual dance.
Though Amon couldn''t fully grasp this behavior, he was determined to extract more than just water from theke on this visit. He was there to uncover and learn this intriguing ability.
Trying to tune his own energy with the surroundings, Amon whispered to himself: "I must merge with the electricity, just like these insects."
Five dayster...
After a fruitless effort to teleport, Amon reflected: "Maybe I''m pushing too hard. I should allow the electricity to flow through me, rather than trying to control it."
Ten dayster...
With a glint of determination in his eyes and after catching a brief glimpse of the insect''s ability, Amon eximed: "This... I felt it! I''m on the right path."
During this period, Amon realized he was getting closer to mastering the ability. Moreover, his strength had grown considerably over thest ten days, especially during the breaks when he meditated on what he was learning.
Though he tried to prevent the insects from bing excessively sorrowful to the point of self-harm, Amon acknowledged he still needed them to enhance and raise his skill level.
Another 26 dayster...
During a deep moment of meditation, Amon reached a state of enlightenment!
His mind operated at astonishing speed, allowing him a deeper understanding of things. He not only mastered the insects'' skills but also refined spell books, elevating them to a new level: The Star Rank!
Intriguingly, Amon realized he had the capability to further enhance the inherent skills of the insects.
As time advanced, his understanding deepened. He worked tirelessly on the evolution of the spell books, ensuring they could match the magnitude of the Star Rank.
