"What's happening?" The student with the sword shouted as he slashed the head of a Crust-Mantle, hearing the mild sounds of thunder, "Did a Tier 3 Frenzy Beast make a move?"

"No, they are locked up in their cages. They cannot come out," The student with the shield replied as he bashed his shield into the face of a One-Horned Rhino, "This seems to be something else."

Students huddled in many places came out to peek at the source of the sounds. Most of them failed to see anything. As the sounds weren't loud enough, they didn't bother investigating it further and returned to their hiding spots, planning to buy time until they were ready enough for the final charge.

Those who were operating in places nearer to Jyorta could clearly hear the sounds of the air cracking apart. Like the rising tide, the sounds increased in might.

Had he used the energy in his blue soul, he could replenish his reserves almost entirely. But, that was his secret, his trump card. He didn't wish to use it in a place where his life wasn't actually threatened. Besides, he wished to test himself and see how he fared in a battle.

It was why he was solely using his regular abilities to do whatever he wished to achieve. The air crackled as a faint mist swirled around him, turning black as they coiled around his right hand and approached his palm.

His ability of corrosion had become stronger than before. After all, the corrosion stemmed forth from the blue soul. And, as its foundation increased, the effectiveness of his corrosion also increased. After all, he had obtained a lot of memory fragments in the Labyrinth of Frenzy, enough to cause his blue soul to burst.

Even though he hadn't comprehended them yet, their existence still increased his strength. But, that was only a small reason. The greater reason was thanks to his act of mixing his corrosion in his aura as he launched aura beams every time.

The first time, the corrosive effect was very little. And it was unconscious. But, as he trained in this regard and practiced it repeatedly, he was able to mix more of his corrosion into his aura. This way, the strength of his aura beam increased. Its current penetrating power had already surpassed the one he unleashed against the Wave Controller Lava Turtle in the Labyrinth of Frenzy.

Thanks to the corrosion in his swirling aura, sounds of thunder resounded as flashes of lightning appeared. As the ability of corrosion reacted with the elements in the air, they were ionised. The flashes of lightning paralysed the couple of Floating Spiders who were hovering next to the Battleship.

The Battleship moved towards the green circle as Jyorta peered out, glancing around to see how the Frenzy Beasts chasing after them were scattered about, spanning a wide area.

Before he unleashed his aura beam, he controlled himself. His hands bulged as the aura converged into both his left and right. Jyorta faced his palms forward, separated by an arm's worth of distance. His mind whirred in thought as everything he needed was called upon.

The preparation took time as his body faintly shrunk in size. The psychic energy mixed into his aura while causing his hands to tremble. At the start, the tremble was like his hand was jerking. But, the intensity of the jerking started to decrease while the outline of his hands formed a slight blur.

The frequency of the trembles continued to increase as his hands moved less and less; soon, his hand's outlines became almost as sharp as normal. But, in actuality, his hands were oscillating with a very high frequency while the amplitude was almost negligible. It was why his hands appeared unmoving.

The psychic energy was the one that was able to replicate this feat as it moved through his hands. It mixed into his aura, turning into a powerful medium as he was able to control it with greater precision.

The psychic energy was smoother and could be controlled to a precise degree as compared to the aura that was rough in everything. With the inclusion of psychic energy, the swirling mass around his hands became streamlined as the blunge on his hands began to steadily decrease. He had taken inspiration for this move from the Wave Controller Lava Turtle he faced in the Labyrinth of Frenzy.

"Hah!" Jyorta shouted, unleashing everything he had stored. The sound of a thunderclap resounded as two waves of aura radiated out from his palms. The two waves formed ripples in the air as they sometimes hit each other.

Every time they collided with one other, the air in the point of contact was ionised. And from the ionised air was a discharge of electricity that formed arcs of lightning that danced in the air. It was a classical concept in physics.

The power behind the waves was unlike the aura beam that packed a strong punch. The waves were just like the ripples on a lake. And, they didn't contain enough power behind them to damage anything, despite their speeds surpassing his aura beam.

But, whenever ripples from the two waves came into contact with each other, they formed spots of ionised air, causing discharges to occur frequently. It created a net of lightning in the surroundings, numbing the Frenzy Beasts that fell prey to it.

"Hide!" The student with the sword shouted as he tackled another student, causing them to dodge a tiny bolt of lightning that landed on their previous spot. When another bolt of lightning headed their way, a shield flew through the air and collided into it, blocking the attack.

There was a tiny mark on the shield as it fell on the ground. Arcs of lightning continued to flash in the air as a lot of them landed on the Frenzy Beasts moving about on the ground. They became the perfect targets of the discharge.

The charge behind the bolts wasn't enough to severely wound a Line Controller, not to mention the Warriors—Observers and Amplifiers—with stronger bodies. But, the number of bolts was too many. Taking on that many would numb their bodies, causing them to fall prey to the ones that had been hiding.

Since most of the students had gone in hiding, no one fell prey to the lightning bolts. It was why Jyorta had taken the risk to unleash it.

Hovering in the air was a large yellow hemisphere. And, seated within it were the delegates from every organisation that operated in the 7th Ring. Currently, all of them stood up and watched the scene below in shock. Their mouths were agape, making eye contact with each other as they saw the massive arc of lightning that had covered one-tenth of the battlefield area. Considering how big the entire battlefield—spanning a length of 1000 metres and a breadth of 400 metres—was, one-tenth of its area was a big deal to wrap around for a Tier 2 being.

"No, his aura has steadily reached Tier 3 and is growing through it." One of them muttered.

They then sighed and simultaneously looked at a certain individual, intending to hear his reaction. The man looked at the scene as spoke after a couple of seconds had passed, "Sir Anruk Light had already instructed me to take him in. Now, I realise the reason. Grapple Force is the perfect place for monsters like him."

His head spun as Jyorta struggled to rein in his consciousness. Duvic grabbed hold of him and pulled him in as he closed the hatch. A couple of lightning bolts fell on the Battleship, singeing parts of it. A second later, three to four more lightning bolts landed on it, damaging it further. The damage continued to pile up as the Battleship moved through the air.

As Jyorta was the one to unleash it, their surroundings had the most intense lightning bolts. If not for the Battleship's rigid defence, they would have been out of commission by now.

"Kyaak!" Sreshta flinched as a tiny spark landed on her skin from the hole before her—the one she used to see outside. As more and more lightning bolts landed on the Battleship, its damage continued to pile up. The Frenzy Beasts in it were starting to get affected by the bolts, feeling numb all over their bodies.

Thankfully, they were Amplifiers, so they wouldn't be severely wounded by this, for they were still protected by the Battleship to a fair extent. They weren't taking the lightning bolts in the open using their bare bodies, like the other Frenzy Beasts.

"Scree!"

"Eeeee!"

"Ghuoong!"

Sounds from various Frenzy Beasts resounded as the lightning bolts landed on them. Moreover, the waves unleashed by Jyorta had affected them, causing patches of their skin to fall off. The Spindle Bees were the worst affected as their wings melted.

Without their wings, they were unable to fly and began to fall. They were also hit by a couple of lightning bolts before they touched the ground. Their numb bodies slammed into the numerous boulders and were either flattened by the fall or were stomped to death by the stirred-up Frenzy Beasts.

All of them wished to evade the lightning bolts. Still, a lot of them were attacked by it, causing their bodies to become numb.

The lightning bolts were caused by the ionisation of the air. Since the energy he had infused wasn't a lot, the ionised air soon became stable as it absorbed the electrons previously emitted by it. The field of lightning had existed for less than eight seconds before it vanished.

Still, it caused tremendous damage as numerous Frenzy Beasts were numb or severely injured as a result. The Battleship moved into a green circle on time as Jyorta's eyes shot open. He recovered from his exhaustion, regaining consciousness.

Even though he had desperately tried to hold on, he still lost consciousness in the end. The new ability was taxing on both the body and the mind. Without psychic energy to activate Regen and heal himself, he fell unconscious.

His muscle mass recovered as Jyorta brimmed with full energy, looking up to see the column of green vanish. He smiled, seeing that the Battleship had reached the path that coiled around the edge of the battlefield.

Jyorta gazed up, looking at the twelve platforms that hovered in the air, trailing from them along the path until he reached the foot where his Battleship existed, "I guess it's time we reached the peak."
