Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!

The Formation Array broke like it hadn't even existed. The new person that had just appeared between Stella and Gravis was so powerful that nothing was seemingly able to stop her.

SSHHH!

The fire vanished, and white light fell on both Gravis and Stella. In nearly an instant, their bodies recovered.

The black color vanished from Stella's body as Gravis felt his entire body regrow with incredible speed. In less than a second, both of them were healthy again.

Gravis looked at the new arrival with furrowed brows.

It was a middle-aged woman with red hair, just like Stella and her brother. On her back, she carried a red and black bow that radiated an unreal amount of power.

However, her clothes were very simple. She only wore white pants and a white blouse.

"Teacher!" Stella's brother shouted with exhilaration and happiness. Finally, his teacher had arrived!

Gravis looked at the new arrival and noticed that he couldn't feel her power. This meant that she was, at least, a very powerful Immortal King, maybe even an Immortal Emperor.

Stella could hardly believe that she was still alive. Then, she noticed her teacher.

For a moment, she felt relieved and happy, but then, frustration took over.

'I would have died.'

'I would have died!' she thought with frustration and tragedy. 'Am I truly not destined to become powerful?'

The woman looked at Stella with a peaceful smile and pulled Stella into a warm embrace. "I'm sorry," she said.

"What?" Stella asked in shock. "Why are you sorry? I should be the sorry one! I was too weak!"

Her emotions were riled up by everything that had happened. Being close to death was something different from knowing that one would die. Stella had not been able to rely on her own power to survive. Someone else had to get involved in order to save her.

What about her pure path to power?

Someone else had gotten involved in her tempering. How could she reach supreme power now? She wanted to see the next world above everything else, but if she couldn't even defend herself in this world, how would she ever be able to reach the next one?

Stella's brother looked at Stella with heartache. By calling their teacher, he had put Stella's path to power into jeopardy. However, if he hadn't called their teacher, Stella would be dead right now.
