The Martial Unity

The two of them had stepped back behind at the entrance of the valley.

"Wait, so the lightning is passing through the ground?" Kane raised an eyebrow. "How is it passing through solid ground?"

Rui had long known that esoteric material science was quite developed in this world due to the presence of many fascinating esoteric substances that could do things that defied logic.

In turn, a holistic and theoretical understanding of the more natural and day-to-day phenomena had taken much of a backseat, compared to Earth. It made sense that Kane did not know what lightning was constituted of, and how it moved, given that electricity was not really something that was a well-known phenomenon that was used widely. Rui highly doubted this world had come up with Maxwell's equations.

"Lightning is closer to a gas than it is a solid, it passes through things rather than colliding against them like a solid object," Rui briefly explained to him. "So do not be fooled by the mild craters they produce. The average lightning bolt isn't a threat to Martial Squires but this…"

Rui turned back to the ocean of lightning bolts in the distance that only grew denser the further away. "This is not average, this is at a bare minimum on the upper end of lightning bolts."

He glanced at the ground in the distance, noting the strange neon colors of the rock and soil. ('This esoteric substance is most likely a charged superconductor. It would explain the absurd voltage and potential difference between the clouds and the land, causing such a flood of current passing from the clouds to the land in the form of so many lightning strikes.')

"Well, whatever it is, I'm good," Kane cracked his knuckles and joints. "Forget dark dungeons that one can't sense worth shit, or dumb training methods involving punching water like a dummy. This is what I'm about!"

He dashed in swiftly with blurring agility before Rui could even reply. It was only a split second before he encountered his second overhead lightning strike.
