Raven was running inside the forest, after the talk with the Golden Lion King he now understood what the WORLD OF RISING HERO is.
First, the world of the rising hero has three continents just as the mission stated in the beginning, namely called Arenia, Garenia, and Valenia. The strongest continent was VALENIA where the dragons reside and the strongest hero the gods favored DRAKE the Dragon Emperor and five more heroes who were also disciples of Drake. Right now, Raven is in Garenia continent the weakest continent of them all.
Second, from the words of the Golden Lion, this year from what he had heard from travelers there are at least 15 new heroes this year and adding the fact that there are still 85 other heroes who are still alive and are hiding this would make them all 100 in total, for Raven, this would be a big headache because now he has to find and investigate all hundreds of them without knowing where in the continents would they be now from kingdoms, suburbs, mountains, seas, forest who knows where are the other heroes they could be in lowkey acting to not be fork in thousands of sword by their enemies now, not all heroes are hungry in fame after all.
Lastly, the kingdom in Arenia and Valenia are in chaos as some few kingdoms are waging war right now For Raven this is his only lead to find the corrupted heroes, this would also mean that at least those two corrupted heroes are in cahoots in devising this plan, wreaking havoc on two continents and are separated.
After sorting his thoughts Raven arrive at the mountain side in north of the forest this could not be called a forest anymore at least 6 km away north of the forest, from what he could see are all Rocks in the Mountains with no living animals or beasts in the area even if he spread his mana, he can't detect anything.
I see that's why he recommended this north side of the forest if I let loose now the forest would not be affected or any animals to be hurt. As he keeps thinking of the Golden Lion's gentleness and intelligence, he can't help but shake his head compared to Leferia who was also wise but too authoritative in his territory.
Raven used his time to know his strength and practice his ability while his Ravens are doing reconnaissance in every direction because he think that the best offensive was knowing his surroundings and enemies, brute force has power and can only do much but control and instill fear to the people, but he was not here to become one of those heroes or a king but to finish his trial with good grading and obtained experience not only infighting but understanding his strength, his enemies and to know the mystery of the trials.
Raven released all his mana making the forest and even other surrounding have a feel of the mana, making flowers blossom, tree fruits bear fruits, and dying trees recover their vitality even the fairies animals, and beast in the forest rejoice because they feel how refreshing and beneficial the mana for them, they feel the endless power of life and destruction in the mana, as some of this fairy animals and beast started to evolved which dumbfounded the Golden Lion he only wanted to help Raven because he has been favored with fortune and tremendous potential and wants to see what can raven's current strength is but he did not expect that he was been surpassed by raven, thinking of these he can't help feel numbness and fear in his heart if Raven didn't come here to talk but to slay him, he could only smile bitterly as he accepted the loss and the truth that he didn't even fight but lost miserably by a large margin. But with this release of mana the Golden Lion was also thankful as he sees that his people and the forest are benefitting from Raven's mana, even himself benefited as he feels the mana he can feel the assimilation of his energy being purified turning them to such pure mana and his assimilation to the forest as a king and the four elements of nature.
"Haaaaaa… second form activate"
[-10 mana]
[Speed.... second form activated ]
[senses + 50%, agility + 50%, control + 35%, +20 to all stats for 15mins ..]
Raven Activated his ability changing his hair color to white and electricity coming out of his body every 3 seconds. His senses became heightened and agility was boosted to 50% with the control of lightning, making everything slowdown from his own perspective everything stopped as long as he didn't will it everything would stop, he was like someone who now can control time and willed the death of people in just a second if he wishes too. His advancement to demigod and his second form was already too terrifying that demigods will lose badly if they only have brute force without any agility base abilities like him.
"What!!, this power is terrifying, Raven already surpassed the world's top heroes, this friend can no longer be stopped if he willed to cause chaos in the three continents, not even all the heroes or as kings of the forest hays, what a terrifying enemy I feel sorry for those who will irritate him. I better take this opportunity to feel more of his energy to completely transform my own energy and understand the elements"
the golden Lion stopped talking to himself and continued to absorb, feel and convert his energy to mana while assimilating and understanding the forest and the four elements as much as he could as he knows that this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime, so he ordered his own people to do the same, the fairies in the trees closed their eyes and lay down as they were engrossed in the mana and evolving more and more, same with the animals from carnivore's to herbivore's stop what they are doing and did the same as they not only heard the golden lion but their instinct is telling them to embrace the mana and evolve to become a real beast, while the beast was more than happy to sleep and absorb as they had felt the forest before and now unknown energy will lead them to more evolution that would be beneficial for them as well. Just like every planet like on Planet Terra the more you evolve the stronger, immune to viruses, etc, and could lead them to a longer lifespan, and evolution of abilities.
.....
While the Golden Lion, animals, beasts, and fairies are evolving, Raven was now engrossed in his training as he was running around the area destroying big boulders and mountains as you see the total destruction and banging sound around the mountains as he was perfecting his abilities and also feeling and totally assimilating with his all his abilities, he was like the god of lightning as he was cover in white electricity.
'Imagine, feel, understand, imagine, feel, understand, control' Raven said these words in his mind over and over as he wants it to engrave not only to the body, feelings, and mind but to make it his instinct to use them.
"I'm Raven Light, a hunter and as a hunter, I should be aware of my own strength, my own capability, my own feelings, my own power and mind" as he murmured all these words to himself his lightning change in color turning to blue with a silver sparking and mixing with lightning in his bod.
[DING…
Congratulation to the user, you're lightning assimilation and understanding of lightning and own self evolves your lightning to the heaven's faith lightning, you can now summon lightning from the heavens. Plus 10 to all stat and 30% to control...]
As the system prompts him about the information and evolution of his lightning, he raised his hands and summon the heavens lightning the cloud gathers from the sky turning the cloud into dim color as they gather and started to bang a loud noise like a god was angry and about to appear at any time. The golden Lion was alerted and some people near his territory as they look up at the sky and see the phenomenon happening, they could feel the dread of the sky even some heroes as they escort or travel sees and felt as if they get hit by it, even the gods they prayed for would not be able to save them, they just stand at their own location and watch the phenomenon happening, even though they are a far from the location they feel dread as if they move they would attract the lightning gathering from the sky and whoever summon that terrifying lightning.
The blue and silver lightning gathered from the clouds from the dim color of the clouds and the color of the lightning was too terrifying, but as you see it for long you could also feel it's magnificent and gracefulness as the lightning turn into a dragon of blue silver and swim at the sky, it was too majestic that magician, warriors, heroes, merchant, monster, etc... got attracted to instill it in their mind they forget their horror in an instance the lightning dragon who swim from the sky form and roared once that the banging of lightning intensifies until his stuck his head down looking at Ravens location, from the other's perspective they could think that blue and silver lightning dragon is eyeing them too.
Raven raised his hands and pointed to the tallest mountain in his location. as he was at his limit he ordered the lightning dragon to destroy the mountain, the lightning dragon obeyed and descent from the sky with a suppressing presence as if the sky itself would descend from them, as the people and monster look at this they again feel the terror from the start as they see the dragon descend destroying the mountain, not one but two mountain an earthquake followed from covering the distance of 120.10 km.
thanks to the lightning dragon it acknowledges the safety of its summoner and deflects the earthquake not affecting him and the forest but the impact that should be in the area was transferred to the distance marking the phenomenon as a great catastrophe to humans, monsters, and other races in the area, unknown to Raven 3 cities were completely destroyed and some of the people got injured or died from falling debris and other earthquake phenomena.
