Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2118: Lightning rod

"It just falls like rain..."

It really was a shocking sight seeing it when I had only heard about it before, but it was clear that this wasn’t a normal place.

After all, lightning bolts were falling down just like drops of rain.

There was nothing that was normal about this place.

But this was the place that we were about to step into.

After all, this place was the last place that had been marked on the map that Solista showed .

Which ant that as long as we took care of the seal in this place, the whole situation with the corruption energy across the continent would be taken care of. It was also why there were many excited looks on everyone’s faces even though they were staring at the lightning falling like rain.

Otherwise there should have been terrified looks on their faces since this was quite the terrifying scene.

Just a single bolt of lightning would be enough to kill a person, let alone lightning bolts raining down like this.

But since we were heading into this place, that ant that we had to find a way to deal with the lightning.

"Since it’s lightning, then the only thing that should work is...The problem is how to make it mobile since it’ll have to be connected to the ground to work..."

I muttered to myself as I observed the lightning falling down.

The magicians from the Sorcery Empire had also been thinking about how to deal with this since it was their specialty.

In the end, the only suggestion that they could make was, "We can create a barrier that will block it, but it won’t last long. As such, we’ll have to make small trips into this taboo zone and find the pillars of the array."

To everyone else, this seed like the most logical solution.

But I didn’t want to waste any ti and I had sothing else that I could do.

As such, I raised my hand and said, "We’ll do this instead."

They all watched as tal gathered from beneath the ground and ford a pillar in front of us.

It was easy for to gather tal with the power of earth that I controlled and it was even easier for to compress this tal into this pillar with that sa force.

Once the pillar was done, all of them looked at with confused looks as they had no idea what I had created this pillar for.

I didn’t explain to them as I pushed this pillar through the ground into the taboo zone. I had created the pillar just outside of the taboo zone so that the lightning wasn’t able to reach it.

But the mont that it entered the taboo zone.

"Boom!"

There was a bolt of lightning that ignored everything else to fall down onto the tal pillar.

It wasn’t just a single lightning bolt that fell down on it, there were several other lightning bolts that all fell down at the sa ti and landed on the tal pillar. It didn’t take long for the others to realize what function this tal pillar had.

"But how is it doing this?"

That was the question that they all had with the expression on their faces.

Just a single glance was enough to tell that this was what they were all thinking at this mont.

I didn’t say anything as I walked into the taboo zone while they were all stunned, so they weren’t able to react in ti before I was already in the taboo zone where all the lightning bolts were.

The magicians from the Sorcery Empire wanted to co forward to help shield against those lightning bolts, but they soon found that there was no need.

"This thing will attract all of the lightning, so we’ll be safe as long as we’re under it."

The lightning bolts ignored and landed on the lightning rod that I had created.

Even with my basic understanding of science, I knew that lightning had a tendency to strike the highest point. So as long as I had this lightning rod, then it should make things safer for .

But as if to prove a point, there was one bolt of lightning that ignored the lightning rod that I created and ca straight at .

If it wasn’t for the fact that I had a barrier up myself, then it would have been dangerous.

Seeing the way that they looked at , I said, "It’s mostly safe. There are cases where lightning bolts will ignore the highest point and strike at whatever is here, but it’s a small enough case that we’ll be safe with the lightning rod and keeping a barrier up."

They still had skeptical looks on their faces hearing this, but the fact that the lightning rod was indeed taking most of the hits from the lightning bolt did prove sothing. While it wasn’t perfectly safe, it was at least better than using the barrier alone.

Though they did have one more question.

"How are we supposed to move if this lightning rod is stationary? It has a certain range, so it’s not as if we can count on this thing while exploring."

It was easy to see that in the distance, the lightning bolts falling down were ignoring the lightning rod. This wasn’t sothing that could work in the entire taboo zone, it only had an effect in a certain area.

Once they left this area, then they wouldn’t be able to use it.

"It’s not a problem." I said as I raised my hand and pointed in front of .

Since this place was always being hit by lightning, it ant that there was no one that actually exploited the resources that were in the ground since there was no safe way to mine it.

It was easy for to pull these resources right out of the ground with the sa power of earth and form another pillar in the distance.

The mont that this pillar ford, it had the sa function as the lightning rod.
