[Congratulations, the 2nd Stormweaver Route Quest Cleared]
[You've got a reward of 70,000 Skill Points]
[You've got a reward of 1 New Skill Slot]
[You've got a reward a Lightning Thief Bracelet]
Nathan successfully completed the Stormweaver route quest as the Elite Monsters were quickly approaching. "Great! Let's see what rewards I've got here," he exclaid excitedly while maintaining a safe distance from the advancing monsters.
[Lightning Thief Bracelet]
[Grade: Elite]
[Durability: 100/100]
[This relic is an ancient artifact of imnse power, crafted centuries ago by a powerful wizard. It is said to be imbued with the essence of lightning, granting its wearer the ability to capture and control the power of lightning. Legends tell of its incredible power and of its ability to bring about miraculous feats.]
[Skills:]
[1. Lightning Thief: Captures lightning strikes near the user within 10 seconds and channels them into the Bracelet. After the 10 seconds is up, the Bracelet fires all the lightning strikes at once at a target, dealing the sa amount of damage it had before being captured.
Cooldown: 60 minutes.]
[2. Lightning Flash: Create a flash of lightning to blind enemies or to create a dazzling light show.
Cooldown: 60 seconds.]
Nathan smiled in satisfaction as he grasped the capabilities of his new piece of equipnt. "With the thunder cloud, I can't guarantee that the lightning strikes that fall to the ground will hit my opponents with pinpoint accuracy," he said.
"But this Bracelet can collect all of the lightning strikes within 10 seconds and I can use it to attack my opponent with my own control! Even though this artifact is at the Elite grade, I think the power it gives is even greater than the Elite weapons I already have." he added.
"I agree," Luna replied. "There's no explicit limit stated for the number of lightning strikes you can collect in ten seconds. Even though I'm sure there are limits that aren't clearly defined there. But, this can be a very dangerous artifact if used correctly."
"But, still, the cooldown of 60 minutes is a bit too long," Nathan said thoughtfully as he examined the artifacts' second skill. "And Lightning Flash? It's quite simple, but interesting."
Luna smiled encouragingly. "60 minutes is a fair amount of ti, master. If you can absorb more lightning strikes in that 10 seconds, the damage you'll be dealing with will be truly incredible."
Nathan nodded, his gaze drawn to the Frost Giant's form as it rushed towards him and swung a large boulder at the ground. "Alright, I think this is good. Let's claim the second reward," he declared.
Nathan imdiately focused all of his senses. "Thunder Cloud!" he shouted resolutely, and in response, dark clouds appeared above and covered the mass of monsters on the ground with nacing shadows. Explosions of thunder and lightning bolts instantly traveled across the sky and fell to the ground. However, sothing new happened, each lightning strike seed to be aid precisely at Nathan, and it all converged on the bracelet he had put on his right wrist.
Nathan jumped quickly, keeping his body balanced, jumping between the minotaurs who were trying to slash him with their axes. But his attention remained focused on the Frost Giant, who kept running towards him, trying to throw blows which also resulted in other small monsters in the area being knocked off the ground.
Nathan had only 10 seconds to dodge and prepare for the onslaught, but it felt like an eternity with the speed and agility of his movents.
"Dragon Breath!" Nathan cried out as the flas from his sword grew larger and larger.
"This skill can only be used once every 30 minutes, so I have to make the most of it," he thought as the countdown reached 10 seconds.
Nathan leaped into the air with such force that his body imdiately beca weightless. His right wrist was adorned with a bracelet that seed to be charged with lightning, prid to burst forth with power. With a glance, Nathan could see a Frost Giant turning towards him, ready to strike. He knew that this ti the victory was in his hands.
Nathan swooped down like a thunderbolt and released a trendous explosion of lightning from his right hand, combined with an imnse burst of flas from the sword in his left. In one powerful strike, Nathan collided with the Frost Giant's face, sending his own body hurtling through the air by the impact. To his surprise, he was t with a notification that he had miraculously defeated the elite monster with one hit!

Every ti that kind of system notification appeared, it brought a smile to his face without fail. Upon seeing that he had completed his route quest yet again, an imnse sense of joy and satisfaction filled him.

Nathan was knocked to the ground with considerable force, but he quickly got back on his feet, dodging the monsters' attacks by jumping back a few tis.
He had achieved his mission, a sign that this war would enter its next round. At the sa ti, Nathan could hear the screams of hundreds of people running toward him, ard and in pursuit.
Nathan stood tall, his two swords still glowing from the heat of the smoldering fire. Hundreds of monsters roared with ferocity toward him while his companions ran up from behind. Transparent information appeared in front of him.

[Bloodlust ter: 35%]
"Don't tell , do I have another ter this ti?" Nathan said with satisfaction. "And 35%, does this an so of my stats will increase by this much?"
"The system seems to think I'm a war maniac," He added.
"That's not wrong, Master," Luna said, followed by a chuckle.
Nathan raised his two swords, a determined glint in his eyes. "Okay, I feel that I can fight more optimally this ti," he declared as the footsteps of people running towards them grew closer, and the screams of terror echoed around them.
Linda, Gydarra, Muramoto, and the others were standing beside Nathan, flashing encouraging smiles at him.
Linda, Gydarra, Muramoto, and the rest of the group bead smiles at Nathan as they stood by his side. "Nathan Oppa, you're totally amazing!" Linda exclaid, brandishing her greatsword.
"Master, I apologize for doubting you," Gydarra offered in a low voice.
riel rushed over to Nathan, offering her assistance with a friendly smile. "Let help you, Mr. Nathan," she said. Imdiately, she set to work, performing an action that had beco all too common in recent days.
"Thank you, riel," Nathan replied, feeling grateful as his mana and stamina slowly returned.
Nathan then raised his two swords again. "Alright," he declared with confidence, "whoever kills the least will not be allowed to eat tonight." With a loud cheer, he sprinted back into the ever-growing horde of monsters.

In the sa pocket dinsion, at a particular location, four people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were representatives from CEHA's student council, sent to provide assistance to the entrance exam participants.
Olivia Aveline took charge, quickly surveying the area. "We're quite a distance from the heart of the battle, we must hurry!"
The other three nodded in agreent, then followed Olivia as she ran.
"I think this is really a waste," said soone running beside Lily. "What are we giving them help for? Then what's the point of having this entrance exam done?"
"Lewis..." Lily shook her head in response. "I never asked you to co with , you know?"
"Pfft! I just want to have fun." Lewis retorted.
"Don't you want to show them, your juniors, how superior you are, Lewis?" Olivia asked.
"Ch! I don't really care about anyone," Lewis added.
Lewis had blonde hair, similar to Lily's, with short locks and a round shield affixed to his back. He was known to be adept with swords and a renowned tank role.
"But more than that," Olivia added, her tone conveying her sincere appreciation, "I'm really thankful to have you on board with us, Lewis. In a great battle like this, the tank role is going to be more useful than a mage, since it's harder to pull off area attacks when there are a lot of other combatants in the mix."
"No need to explain all that to ," Lewis replied, a slight edge to his voice.
Lily gave Lewis a subtle shake of her head in response.
Olivia and Lily were renowned for their skill with swords. Olivia was especially renowned for her graceful, almost dance-like swordplay, captivating onlookers with her finesse. anwhile, Lily was a genius fighter, able to make swift, efficient, and effective movents, making it easy for her to defeat her opponents in a clean, swift manner.
To complete their group of four, one more person acted as a support to help enhance their performance and provide protective aid when the trio engaged in battle.
"Alright, let's hurry up and run. Those monsters won't wait for us too long," Olivia said as the four of them sprinted between the frozen trees and ancient forest.
