The heavenly thunder summoned by the Thunder Order not only shattered the huge boulder but also created a giant pit in the soil beneath it. The almost terrifying power excited Mr. Chardon to the point where he almost roared to the sky.
He could not believe that the Thunderstrike wood had turned out to be a magical instrument capable of summoning heavenly thunder. Moreover, the power of this heavenly thunder was comparable to that of a heavy artillery shell, far surpassing the wooden sword given to him by the British Lord.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Mr. Chardon stood by the giant pit, gazing at the intact Thunder Order, murmuring to himself, “The power of this Thunderstrike wood is truly terrifying! With it, even if I encounter opponents stronger than me, I can still hold my ground. It seems I'm incredibly lucky to have come to Aurous Hill this time!”
With these thoughts, Mr. Chardon sighed, “However, the consumption of Reiki for this thing is enormous. Just casting it once depleted one-third of my Reiki. It seems I can't use it casually in the future. I’ll only be able to replenish the Reiki I lost with some pills from the British Lord after I’ve completed my mission…”
After saying this, he felt a bit reluctant as he carefully stowed away the Thunder Order. He then exclaimed, “The feeling of summoning heavenly thunder just now was truly exhilarating! It felt like I had merged with the heavens and the earth, and it was absolutely thrilling! Unfortunately, everything happened too quickly, and the suddenness of the event didn't give me enough time to savor it. It would be great if only I could experience it again!”
With that in mind, he could not help but reach into his clothes, taking out the Thunder Order. However, after hesitating for a moment, he let go of it and withdrew his hand, muttering, “No, I can’t do this. The consumption of Reiki for this thing is too great. If I do it again, the rapid decline in my strength over a short period might hinder the completion of the mission. I'll endure it for now!”
Mr. Chardon was unaware that the massive consumption of Reiki when activating the Thunder Order was intentional on Charlie’s part. He then took out the jade ring, pondering, “What is the effect of this jade ring? It looks like a passively triggered formation. Could it be a protective talisman? If so, I can't try it recklessly; otherwise, the loss might be significant if it loses its effectiveness.”
With these thoughts, he carefully stowed away the jade ring, excitedly declaring, “The ancient capital of Aurous Hill truly lives up to its reputation. I obtained two magic instruments on the first day alone. If I wait a few more days, I might have even more gains!”
If the two of them started fighting and a winner could not be determined for a while, it would probably attract the public’s attention.
If the fact that Charlie could control Reiki was revealed, it could potentially cause a significant societal shock. Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Charlie abandoned the idea of immediately heading to Mount Phoenix.
As for how to deal with this person, it would require careful consideration. However, since the other party already possessed the Thunder Order, Charlie’s confidence in successfully eliminating him in the future increased.
