Chapter 325 The Thunder God Has Come to Life!

Anything that Moses found interesting was definitely something good.

However, since Moses was interested in it, he probably wanted it too.

William felt a chill go down his spine.

He sensed that he was about to lose something

Moses had always treated William’s stuff as his own and had never stood on ceremony.

For example, his Life Potion.

William pretended not to know, but he was very clear on what happened just now…

He had merely lost control over his notification panel for 30 minutes, and 30 drops of Life Potion were gone from the half-filled bottle. Another big bottle that had 300 drops of Life Potion had also disappeared!

Clearly, Moses was the one who took it!

Tsk! William just didn’t want to say it out loud.

The prince looked on as Moses walked towards the door leading to the side palace. He pushed the heavy metal door open without effort. Was Moses really an all-rounded mage? He seemed more like a close-combat mage…

Behind the door, there was indeed a curse that William and Burned Cinder had been unable to deal with

That was right.

It wasn’t a monster behind that door, but a curse that made one feel suffocated.

This was a punishment for intruders who used brute force to push the door open.

However, this vicious curse that constantly depleted one’s Health Bar would only work on William but not on Moses.

The latter gently waved his hand, and the terrifying aura in the side palace quickly dissipated. The whole place became brightly lit.

At the same time, William stuck his head around the door to get a better look at the place.

“What the h*11…”

“What?” Moses looked at William, who then grinned and sashayed into the side palace.

“Why does the temple of the Thunder God have so many books?” William coughed.

“You’re curious, huh! Every main God is a powerful professional, just that they place emphasis on different domains, such as close-combat or long-range combat.” There were over 10,000 magic books in this place. Moses couldn’t help but smile, as he looked at them.

He had not expected to chance upon the Thunder God’s inventory. It appeared that Stormy Island wasn’t just the Thunder God’s temporary dwelling, but a place where he had lived for a long time.

To become a main God, one needed to be trained in his respective element to the greatest extent possible.

It was required for one to have a strong ability in manipulating his element in terms of both battle energy and magic.

For example, the Thunder God. Not only was he adept at using his thunder element in close-combat, but he was also skilled at incorporating it into magic.

Frankly speaking, the Thunder God was probably inferior to the God of Magic in terms of using thunder elemental magic.

However, the Thunder God had definitely spent a lot of effort on researching thunder elemental magic, or at the very least, he was much stronger in it than normal Gods.

Without a doubt, most of the 10,000 magic books were about thunder elemental magic. They would be of great help to Moses.

Perhaps he could find some magical incantations that had not been created by him… Ahem! He meant some magical incantations he hadn’t learned before. This would boost his knowledge of magical incantations.

“Place emphasis on different domains?” William looked at Moses’s arm in curiosity. He was as muscular as a close-combat professional. Was that why Moses was so strong?

Or rather, was Moses’s main occupation an all-rounded mage, and his sub-occupation a close-combat professional?

Moses seemed to know what the prince was thinking about. He waved his hand without any expression, and kept all the magic books that were in his sight. Perhaps you have heard of something called the Brawn Technique…”

“Hmm…” William nodded. The Brawn Technique was something that physically weak professionals, such as mages, cannon gunners, and rangers, chose to train in. Basically, it could be considered as their sub-occupation.

However, the Brawn Technique didn’t use battle energy. It still required magic. Brawn Technique occupations were harder to specialize in, and all of them were hidden occupations.

Of course, even though William was a ranger, he didn’t need to learn any Brawn Technique. He just needed his toughened skin upgrades.

Specializing in this sort of occupation could not only enhance one’s physique, but it might also aid in boosting one’s close-combat skills and techniques.

Brawn Techniques varied in difficulty levels, and every occupation used different Brawn Technique. Learning a single one of them took up a lot of the long-range professionals’ training time.

Most people didn’t have the time or energy to learn a Brawn Technique. Only a few genius professionals, the cream of the crop, would do

it.

For example, most players didn’t have enough experience points to master a Brawn Technique.

That being said, the above claim excluded rich players.

Only they were able to use money to buy skills and excel in both close-combat and long-range attacks.

Nonetheless, even if they mastered a Brawn Technique, they would definitely be weaker than real close-combat professionals.

However, if one could persist for dozens or even a few more seconds on the battlefield, the cooldown for his other skills might be over, and one could turn the battle situation around.

For example, the cannon gunner that William had previously fought. That cannon gunner was able to quickly draw his gun and force William to retreat. He had used a Brawn Technique that cannon gunners used.

In that split second, the cannon gunner was able to put a distance between him and William, and he could attack him with his gun again.

The cannon gunner would have won if William hadn’t been able to withstand that attack.

(Note: The Brawn Technique System is an exclusive sub-occupation to long-range professionals. Mages, rangers, and other professionals could take on battle energy sub-occupations too, but what they learn would not be considered as a complete system. It would merely be a secondary skill. Both have their merits and demerits.)

As for an existence like Moses?

He was probably the one who had created a Brawn Technique that could be used by mages.

He appeared to be an enchanter, but he was certainly a warrior too.

Perhaps he could defeat a Grandmaster using just his Brawn Technique!

Maybe he was even more powerful than that!

As William thought about this, his heart skipped a beat. Was Moses really so powerful?

After Moses finished plundering the magic books in this side palace, he went to another one. The same trap was waiting for them, but with Moses around, no harm was done.

However, both of them didn’t expect this side palace to be empty.

There was only a small Thunder God statue.

Moses was about to walk towards it, but he suddenly glanced thoughtfully at William and pointed at the statue.

“You, go over.”

“Wait, what?” William’s eyes widened. Did Moses want him to check for danger? Since when did him, a prince, have to do this sort of thing…

William softly coughed. “If it’s too dangerous, I can get an Orc to come here. If that doesn’t work, I can get Uncle Lautner, he’s very tough…”

“Stop blabbering, just do as I say. It seems that the Thunder God has left some last words, or rather, an inheritance. It can only be activated by a professional that uses the thunder element. Although I can use thunder elemental magic, I don’t need his inheritance.” Moses explained and pushed William forward.

Just as William had reached a distance three meters away from the Thunder God statue, the statue started glowing.

Buzz… Buzz…

Suddenly, William and Moses’s connection was cut off.

A lightning barrier that exuded a terrifying aura was formed. It looked like an intricate grid network that had turned that area into an alternate dimension.

Even Moses, who was an enchanter, couldn’t destroy this barrier in a short amount of time.

At the same time, the two-meter tall Thunder God statue’s jade-like eyelids blinked.

Crack!

Crack!

The plaster on the surface of the statue kept peeling off.

William started retreating until his back touched the barrier. He gulped and stared at the Thunder God statue that was coming to life.

“Damnit, what’s going on? I thought it was going to be a hologram conversation or a Thunder God inheritance. Why is this statue coming to life?” William kept trying to use his Insight on the statue.

However, it was all question marks.

This wasn’t something that someone of his level could come into contact with.

After all the plaster of the statue had been stripped off, a tall, middle-aged man appeared in front of William.

He was wearing a striking armor with lightning currents flowing all over it. The ring on his left hand was exactly the same as the one on William’s left hand.

Without a doubt, the statue that had come to life was the ‘Thunder God’.

The awakened Thunder God surveyed his surroundings. He then glanced at Moses, who was outside the barrier, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He completely ignored William, who had technically stolen his left hand. His gaze seemed to transcend time and space.

Suddenly, his gaze focused on Moses.

He used to be a young student at an empire college.

After staring for a while, the Thunder God raised his left hand’s middle finger and cursed. “You dumb sh*t! What an idiot! Since you have awoken, you should have recalled the memories of your previous life!”

“I’ve arranged for this in my previous life, and you’re not taking the hint?

“Has your brain been struck by lightning…”

After saying that, the Thunder God raised his eyebrows and seemed to have discovered something

His mouth twitched. “What an idiot!”

Upon seeing this scene and how the Thunder God was raising his middle finger, William could only squat down at a corner.

He didn’t dare to ask what was going on or make any noise at all.

The Thunder God had come to life.

He even spoke the human language and had cursed.

What was William supposed to do?

He felt very helpless.

After what seemed like an eternity, the Thunder God finally calmed down.

He sized up William in an unfriendly manner and cut straight to the point. “You’re a thunder element professional?”

William wanted to reply, “Yes, that’s right. I’m the one and only handsome thunder…”

However, before he could actually say anything, the Thunder God spoke. “Okay. You are quite talented, but not that talented.”

His gaze fell on William’s left hand. He frowned and said, “Lift up your left hand.”

“Swish!”

William raised his left hand immediately, raising his middle finger too out of habit.

“…” The Thunder God looked at the middle finger, which William had instantly retracted. He fell into deep thought.

“It seems that it is fate that you were able to obtain my left hand. What else do you want from me?” He said in a deep voice.

“Huh?” Before William could speak, the Thunder God interrupted him again.

He frowned at the Half-Elf. “Forget it, I’ll choose for you.”

“Hey, hey! Can’t I express my opinion at all?” William couldn’t hold it in any longer. This was too much! After all, he was a charming man. Did the Thunder God really have to ignore him like this?

“Just accept whatever I give you. If not for the person behind you now, I would have confiscated your left hand.” The Thunder God snorted. Evidently, he was being nice to William because of Moses.

William was speechless.

It appeared that Moses was definitely a reincarnation of a God, but which God was he?

The Thunder God slowly moved closer to William, who was still squatting at a corner. He grinned. “Come, this won’t hurt!”

“Hey. N… No! What are you doing? Damnit, this is too much!”

“Ah ah ah, it hurts, don’t!”

William kept screaming.

Blinding rays of lightning flashed.

No one knew what William was experiencing right now.

What about Moses?

He was leaning against the barrier, expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking about.
