After a brief moment of hesitation, the King of Lightning transformed into a streak of golden lightning.
Although Elder Lawrence and Irving had managed to get a head start, both of them knew that the King of Lightning would catch up quickly. Elder Lawrence even took a moment to remind Irving.
"The King of Lightning moves at an incredible speed. We must not look back while we are fleeing. Furthermore, the King can summon lightning and storms to hinder our escape. When trouble arises, we must help each other. Only by relying on both our strengths can we hope to escape successfully."
On the surface, Elder Lawrence expressed great trust in Irving. However, deep down, he was constantly worried that Irving might betray him during their flight. While Lawrence exuded confidence when dealing with Irving and the others, he was filled with extreme fear when facing the King of Lightning.
