God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

The Gravity Obelisk made Nolan suffer the majority of the damages.

At pivotal times in Nolan's dodging, he would suddenly find himself incredibly heavy, causing him to fail to dodge the lightning bolt that slammed into him, kicking him under a flaming rune that roasted him.

Other times, it would make him feel incredibly light, causing him to lose his sense of balance, and once more, he would be roughly blown under a flaming rune by the storm in the area, and knocked down by a thunderbolt.

In the next instant, Nolan narrowed his difficulties to the Gravity Obelisk.

If there was one thing he needed to get rid of first, it would be that.

He could see its core, dipped into its center, and he knew he only needed to remove the core in order to render it useless.

"Time to go on the offensive…" Nolan mused to himself.

In the next instant, he ordered coldly in his head, 'Activate the Crown of Kratos.'

BOOM!

Instantly, a powerful wave of air shot out from Nolan, bursting through the storm around the area and instantly blowing it apart.

In the next moment, a golden crown settled on his head, and runes began appearing all over his legs, followed by the system notification.

[Host has activated the skill: Kratos Crown]

[Random Deity Chosen]

[Random God Power is being channeled]

[Host has activated the power of Hermes, the god of speed!]

In the next instant, Nolan felt a strange sensation in his legs.

It was like they had become ten times heavier, making them incredibly solid, yet at the same time, he also felt as light as a feather.

In one smooth movement, he took a step forward, and the space before him rippled like the surface of water.

Instantly, he moved.

RIIIIP!

The sound of something loudly parting rang out as the air shook intensely.

Yet, to Nolan, everything came to a chilling crawl.

He could see the flaming gate in the air above bubbling with flames, and how the lightning bolt slowly inched toward him.

Yet Nolan simply moved his head to the side by a mere inch, dodging the bolt, and with another step, he bypassed the roaring flames.

'How... how is everything so slow?' Nolan wondered to himself in shock, but he wasted no time at all.

He quickly ran toward the Gravity Obelisk.

He could notice the thunderbolts chasing after him, increasing in number, and even the flaming runes in the air poured out more fire, though Nolan wasn't directly under them anymore.

His opponents were now frantic, a sign to Nolan that his plan was working.

With the world moving in slow motion, Nolan easily weaved through the hundreds of lightning bolts without breaking a sweat, and he outran the flaming pillars.

Appearing a few inches from the Gravity Obelisk, he witnessed a gigantic flaming rune portal appear above the obelisk, its flames slamming down with apocalyptic power.

Even though the world had come to a stop, Nolan knew well that if he dared cross that flaming barrier, he would be reduced to ashes.

But a mischievous smirk appeared on his lips as he instantly hooked his dagger with his thick chains and sent it slamming forward toward the gravity core.

He didn't need to get too close, and his chains were resistant to flames.

Immediately, they cleaved forward with speed, tearing through the pillar of flames that blocked his path and then—

CRAAACK!

The faint sound of a crack could be heard as Nolan felt his dagger digging into something. In the next moment, he jerked the chain back toward himself.

PSSSTTT!

In the next instant, an object came flying together with his dagger, and Nolan grasped something within his palm.

A strange object that made Nolan feel like he was grabbing an entire mountain and made his hands drop.

It was none other than the Gravity Core.

But suddenly, he sensed the core fade away from his hands, and instantly a notification appeared.

[An Epic Grade Treasure has been picked up by Host!]

[Epic Grade Treasure: Fundamental Gravity Core, will now be stored into the system's shop!]

[Good luck on the lucky find, Host.]

The system said, causing Nolan to snort.

'Lucky find!? I'm getting roasted here...'

With Nolan having removed the Gravity Core from the obelisk, he witnessed the runes on the obelisk disappearing, and instantly the strange gravity that covered the entire area faded away.

Once that was done, Nolan felt freer than a bird, and quickly, he zoomed forward with speed toward his next target—which was none other than the Storm Obelisk.

Almost as if the obelisks were conscious of his actions, the flaming runes in the area all increased as the temperature reached a deafening level, and the bolts of lightning became twice as strong and more destructive.

But it was all for naught to Nolan.

The world to him was still moving in slow motion.

The bolts were strong but simply too slow, and he easily dodged them as he weaved through the area, soon arriving before the Storm Core.

Immediately, the core flared with powerful lightning, causing Nolan to jerk his hand back, but in the next instant, the system notification appeared.

[Just touch it. I'll instantly take it away!] it said, and Nolan's hand immediately extended forward once more as he grabbed the core.

"ARRRGGGHHH!"

A painful groan left his lips as bolts of lightning snaked through his entire arm, yet he felt the core soon disappear from his hands.

[An Epic Grade Treasure has been picked up by Host!]

[Epic Grade Treasure: Fundamental Storm Core, will now be stored into the system's shop!]

[Good luck on the lucky find, Host.]

The notification panel appeared once more as Nolan skidded to a stop, ensuring he wasn't under any of the flaming runes in the air.

Finally, he found himself some breathing space as he crouched slightly, with air puffing out of his mouth and nostrils.

'Just three more to go...'
