When the Lightning Essence made its way out of the Lightning Essence Crystal, it immediately forced its way into the lightning bolt.
Byron breathed quickly and heavily as he had been just a moment away from getting struck by lightning.
"Haha! I did it," he said before quickly bringing out an anvil and hammer that fell onto the boat.
"Are you going to hammer it here?" Ning asked.
"Yes," he said and grabbed onto the glowing lightning bolt with bluish light in it. It was neither lightning nor was it Essence at that point.
At that point, it was something in the middle, something unstable that needed form, and Byron was in the process of doing exactly that.
He pulled on the… thing and started hammering it.
Ning looked at the lightning bolt and saw it go all the way up to the sky, where it had followed the path that the arrow had left behind.
"Uhh… will the lightning not strike this and follow it down?" he asked.
