The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

After opening up 10,000 connectors and reaching a D-level mastery of the first level of the Lightning Phoenix Drive Technique, Karsha unlocked three awesome new moves from the Scarlet Wing Control Art. The first one is Storm Surge Slash, the second is Phoenix Blaze Dance, and the third is Tempest Vortex Formation.

The wings he had were made from some kind of metal-like material, so they weren't just for show. They were perfect for both flying and fighting. It might sound a bit wild, but being able to battle midair with wings is bizarrely effective.

"Saints can fly, so having the upper hand in the air seems like the best idea here," Karsha muttered to himself, thinking about the new possibilities.

Karsha decided to try out the first technique: Storm Surge Slash. This move would let him transform his wing into a sweeping blade, giving it the sharpness needed to slice through anything in its path. The technique also creates a powerful windstorm, blowing away anyone caught in his flight path. It looked like it'd be perfect for those tricky situations when he's surrounded in midair.

Next up was the Phoenix Blaze Dance. With this technique, each extension of his wings will release a burst of lightning and wind, forming a pattern of rapid, fiery strikes that resemble a phoenix soaring through the sky. From a phoenix's point of view, it was particularly deadly. The wing blades also generated a series of fast-moving electric arcs, creating a cascading effect of lightning that could strike multiple targets in quick succession. It was going to be useful in aerial combat.

Finally, Karsha checked the Tempest Vortex Formation. This technique involved spinning his wings, creating a powerful vortex of wind and lightning that sucked enemies toward the center. The intense rotation cranked up the energy, whipping up a whirlwind of lightning strikes. He could control the vortex to either trap enemies inside or blast the energy outward in a focused burst, delivering a devastating area-of-effect attack.

Overall, the three movements and attack patterns he was about to master were incredibly lethal. "This is going to be amazing," Karsha thought, feeling a deep connection to the wings he had just unlocked. It was as if the bond ran all the way into his soul.

Using the wings in various aerial patterns felt exhilarating and meaningful. Initially, Karsha's goal was to enhance his speed with these wings, but now he was eager to explore their full potential. With 15 years ahead to train and improve, he was focused on prioritizing what was most important for his development, rather than getting distracted by things that weren't as crucial right now.

Though he had no plans to reveal the wings just yet, he was aware that his recent performance during the Blood Expedition had likely drawn more attention. His enemies would probably be making their moves soon. Even if he didn't know if they had already discovered the bodies of their fallen comrades, he was certain that the Great Families from Oakwood City wouldn't let this insult go unpunished. It was just their way.

Even though Karsha wasn't scared, he wasn't about to reveal all his trump cards in just any fight. His plan was to save the full extent of his power for moments when it would truly count. Before he unfurled the wings, he intended to dominate both the land and the air with strategic precision.

"Time to get things started," Karsha said with a determined smile as he dove back into working on the connectors. "The runes are still dim. I guess I'll need to open more if I want them to shine brighter," he muttered, focusing on channeling energy through the connectors.

He stretched out his wings wide, positioning them with the blades fanned out like the edge of a storm. The wing blades formed a horizontal arc, and he practiced retracting and flaring out one wing to generate a powerful surge of wind and lightning. It was a complex process that required precise control.

As he began working on comprehending the Storm Surge Slash technique, Karsha started to face several challenges. The wing's energy had to be channeled just right to create a sweeping motion that was both sharp and forceful. Each attempt brought a new set of problems—whether it was the intensity of the wind or the alignment of the lightning.

"So using less energy at the start will be more optimal than surging it too fast. I guess this makes sense"

He found that the energy surges could be inconsistent, sometimes exploding too early or fizzling out before reaching their full potential. The balance between wind and lightning was tricky; too much of one could disrupt the effectiveness of the other. Karsha had to constantly adjust his technique, trying different angles and speeds to perfect the storm's edge.

Frustration mounted as he struggled to get the energy flow right. He repeatedly opened and closed the connectors, trying to increase the power output and stabilize the runes. He realized that mastering the Storm Surge Slash was not just about raw power but also about achieving the right harmony between the elements.

"Huh, the runes are gaining color," Karsha said looking at the golden rune in each connector gaining some color." The moment he started making headway, he noticed it. This means as he masters these techniques, he will be able to awaken the runes of each connector making him gain the ability to effortlessly channel energy through the wing connectors.

The process was grueling. Karsha's initial excitement turned into a deep focus as he grappled with the technique's intricacies. He had to think critically about every movement—how to channel the wind forcefully without losing control, and how to direct the lightning so that it followed the desired path.

After hours of practice, Karsha began to see some progress. The surges became more controlled, and the blade's edge started to cut more cleanly through the air. But it was clear that he was still far from perfecting the technique. He had more questions than answers: How could he improve the consistency of the energy flow? What adjustments would allow him to fully harness the storm's power?

"One step at a time, Karsha," he muttered to himself, diving back into understanding the technique's pattern. As he continued to work, his persistence began to pay off.

Gradually, the surges of wind and lightning started coming together more smoothly. The energy flow became more stable, and Karsha could feel the blade's edge slicing through the air with increasing precision. He adjusted his movements, focusing on the balance between the wind and lightning to create a more effective Storm Surge Slash. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

After hours of meticulous practice, Karsha decided it was time to test his progress. He activated the system to generate winged monsters for him to battle in the air. As the system complied, a variety of winged creatures appeared, each with different flight patterns and abilities.

"Alright, let's see how this works in a real fight," Karsha said, feeling a surge of excitement and apprehension. He took to the air, his wings unfurling and the Storm Surge Slash ready to be tested.

The first few winged monsters swooped toward him, their wings flapping aggressively. Karsha focused on one of the creatures and executed the Storm Surge Slash. The wind surged violently, and lightning crackled from the blade's edge, tearing through the monster with a satisfying crackle. The creature was blown away, disoriented, and defeated by the powerful attack.

"Not bad," Karsha commented, noting the effectiveness of the technique. "The surge is strong, but I need to fine-tune the direction of the wind. Too much spread and it loses impact."

As more winged monsters closed in, Karsha adjusted his approach. He practiced retracting and flaring out his wings with precise timing, aiming to improve the control of the energy surges. Some attempts were more successful than others, with a few surges dissipating before they reached their target.

"Hmm, that didn't go as planned," Karsha said, analyzing the results. "Looks like I need to focus on stabilizing the lightning arcs. If they're too erratic, they won't hit multiple targets effectively."

The battles continued, with Karsha learning from each encounter. The technique was becoming more refined, and he could now create a more controlled storm that consistently struck his targets. The improvements were noticeable; his attacks became faster and more effective.

"Much better," he noted with a grin as he defeated another wave of winged monsters. "The consistency is improving. I'm getting the hang of balancing the wind and lightning. This is awesome" Karsha exclaimed looking very happy and satisfied.

After several intense battles, Karsha landed, feeling a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion. He had made significant progress with the Storm Surge Slash. Although there was still room for improvement, he was confident in the technique's effectiveness.

"Alright, that's enough for today," he said, wiping sweat from his brow. "The technique is solid, but I'll need more practice to perfect it. For now, time to focus on the other two techniques."

For the second technique, Karsha would have to tuck his wings close to his back, with the blades folded. Then, with a sharp, agile movement, he extends and retracts the wings in quick succession.

The blades will shimmer as they shift and fold, creating intricate, fluid patterns.

This wing movement makes each extension of the wings release a burst of concentrated lightning and wind, forming a pattern of rapid, fiery strikes that resemble a phoenix in flight.

Also, wing blades generate a series of fast-moving arcs of electricity, creating a cascading effect of lightning that strikes multiple targets in a sequence.

"I see the potential to make this more exciting," Karsha muttered, a grin spreading across his face. The idea forming in his mind was the result of his unconventional approach to things. Karsha rarely followed the traditional path, always preferring to blaze his own trail, even if it defied common sense. Aside from the wind and lightning elements, he wanted to add fire to the mix.

The wings were primarily designed for wind and lightning, so introducing a fire element meant he'd need to train them to adapt to this new energy. It was risky, but the potential benefits were too tantalizing to ignore.

"I must be crazy for even thinking about this. Well, I am definitely mad for wanting to try it. I guess there's no sleep for the wicked," Karsha chuckled to himself.
