Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Chapter 45: Meylan's Tribulation

The Wrath of Heaven's Thunder: Meylan's Tribulation

[System Task: Help Meylan break through to the Mage Emperor level. Reward: A fragment of the Forbidden Codex.]

"A fragment of the Forbidden Codex?"

Sylvus's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected that Meylan's breakthrough would result in such a generous system reward.

"You don't need to leave. It's just a Heaven's Thunder Tribulation; I'll help you get through it."

Sylvus smiled as he glanced at the thunderstorm still gathering in the sky.

Was Heaven's Thunder Tribulation powerful?

Very powerful!

But Sylvus was even more powerful.

Because he had an invincibility buff. No matter what kind of Heaven's Thunder Tribulation it was, it would be nothing against his invincibility buff.

"Boss, y-you must be joking, right? This is Heaven's Thunder Tribulation! Once it strikes, it could destroy half the Holy City. Even a Mage Ruler wouldn't dare to interfere without risking death,"

Meylan was shocked at Sylvus's words.

Was his boss confident or just arrogant? How could he not take Heaven's Thunder Tribulation seriously?

"Stop talking nonsense. It's just a Heaven's Thunder Tribulation. It's nothing to me. Let's head to the rooftop."

As Sylvus finished speaking, he grabbed Meylan and brought him to the rooftop.

The appearance of the Heaven's Thunder Tribulation had alarmed the entire Holy City.

Countless people looked up to the sky.

Those who had never seen such a thing assumed it was just a regular storm.

But those who understood what it was were completely dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me? Who's causing a Heaven's Thunder Tribulation in the middle of the Holy City? Are they trying to take everyone down with them?"

"This is insane! Whoever's doing this must be out of their mind. Couldn't they have gone to some remote place to go through their tribulation?"

"We're doomed. Half the Holy City might be destroyed. Why hasn't the royal family sent their top mages to handle this?"

...

In the royal palace.

"Uncle, do you think there are still Rulers of Magic left on the continent?"

Boone, the emperor, asked the elderly man next to him.

The old man was Park-Moore, Boone's uncle.

A Six-Star Mage Emperor, and one of the royal family's protectors.

"Lord Artefrie, the Ruler of Magic, once said that the power of the Rulers had been drained from our Esrael continent by the undead. There will never be another Ruler of Magic."

Moore shook his head.

Boone frowned.

"But the Space Slayer Meylan came to me yesterday. He's currently working in a small shop in the Holy City, and he told me himself that his boss is a Ruler of Magic."

Moore laughed and shook his head again.

"If we haven't seen it ourselves, why should we believe it? We could just as easily claim that the Bork Empire has a Ruler of Magic. How many people would believe us?"

"So you think he's lying to me?"

Boone squinted.

The only reason he had shown Meylan leniency was because of the supposed Ruler of Magic.

If Meylan didn't actually have a Ruler of Magic backing him...

Then no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be a match for the royal family.

"He... hmm?"

Moore was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a thundercloud filled with crackling lightning had formed.

"What is this... Thunder Tribulation? Heaven's Thunder Tribulation? Who is reckless enough to trigger such a thing inside the Holy City?"

Boone also noticed something was wrong. When he saw the lightning flashing in the sky, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Heaven's Thunder Tribulation was incredibly powerful. He had seen it before.

If it fell, the people of the Holy City would be in serious trouble.

*Buzz...*

Just as Boone finished speaking, the flames on a nearby candle flickered wildly.

In the next moment, a great blaze appeared.

An old man stepped out from the flames.

It was the head of the Sloe family, Sloe-Masi!

"You've come too, I see."

Moore acknowledged Masi's arrival.

"Why would anyone dare to trigger a Heaven's Thunder Tribulation inside the Holy City?" Masi frowned.

As the empire's Mage Soveriegn, Masi had no real political power but held incredible influence. In dire circumstances, even the emperor had to listen to him.

"We don't know. This tribulation came out of nowhere, with no warning. And now that the tribulation is gathering, it's too late to stop it."

Moore's eyes were filled with concern as he looked outside.

"How much longer until the other royal Mage Soveriegns arrive? If we act quickly, there might still be time to find the person and kill them before the tribulation fully forms, which would disperse it."

Masi suggested.

Moore shook his head.

"Those old men are all in seclusion. Even if we send for them now, they won't make it in time. This tribulation is unavoidable."

Masi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger.

Once the tribulation fell, who knew how many people in the Holy City would be killed or injured.

"Damn it! If this person survives the tribulation, I swear I'll find them and tear them to pieces!"

Masi gritted his teeth.

Moore didn't say anything, but his eyes also held a murderous glint.

...

"Boss, are you sure this will be alright? I can still leave now if I hurry."

On the shop's rooftop, Meylan nervously looked at Sylvus.

Even if Sylvus were a Ruler of Magic, he had never heard of a Ruler of Magic being powerful enough to withstand a Heaven's Thunder Tribulation.

After all, even Rulers of Magic had to undergo tribulations.

"Stop worrying—it's here!"

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Sylvus smiled slightly.

At that moment, the thunder that had been brewing in the sky finally exploded.

The entire night sky was lit up as a massive purple lightning bolt descended from the clouds, hurtling straight toward Meylan.
