Among the three, Satori, who was most proficient with Mantra, turned pale, a look of shock and disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Why... Why can't I sense anything...?!"
Shura leaped into the air, his spear engulfed in flames, striking like a fiery serpent towards Ron who stood with his back to them.
In an instant, Ron's figure flickered, vanishing from sight. Shura's eyes widened.
His powerful strike hit the ground heavily, creating a deep crater.
"Where? Where did he go?" Gedatsu glanced around anxiously.
A sheen of sweat glistened on Satori's forehead as he stammered, "That just now was... Mantra?! And on the same level as the God's own... How is this possible...?"
A soldier pointed in the direction where Ron was standing, about twenty meters away in the clearing, his back still facing the four priests and the soldiers.
Under their astonished gazes.
Ron extended his right hand into the void, pulling out a blade entwined with crackling lightning from the space that rippled like the surface of water.
Gedatsu gulped audibly.
Satori's eyes widened.
Ohm's face was drenched in sweat, his expression twisted with fear.
In the next moment, a colossal, lightning-imbued slash descended toward them, erupting with explosive force.
In an instant, all four priests and their soldiers, now covered in deep wounds, fell.
Lowering his Raikiri after the strike, Ron looked towards the distant Enel with a smirk.
"So, how do you like that, self-proclaimed god?"
Perched high atop his palace, Enel laughed coldly, his staff in hand.
"Do you think such feeble tricks can challenge a god?"
He raised his hand toward Ron.
"Now witness the power of a god."
At his command, lightning manifested above Ron, gathering in a furious cloud.
"Judgment of Thunder!"
The bolts of lightning streaked down toward Ron with immense speed, but he sensed them in advance, dodging each strike with Shave.
The lightning hit the ground, creating a charred crater and igniting nearby trees.
"Challenging a god's speed, are you?"
Sensing Ron's rapid movement through the forest, Enel's eyes narrowed with a menacing grin.
In the next instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, vanishing from his perch.
Ron sprinted through the forest when suddenly, a burst of lightning appeared ahead.
Without hesitation, he summoned his Raikiri, channeling both golden lightning and invisible Armament Haki.
Thunder Breathing Technique: Fifth Form—Heat Lightning!
Enel initially didn't bother dodging, confident his Logia abilities would protect him. But as Ron's blade approached, a severe sense of danger surged within him.
In a split second, he realized his mistake!
Without delay, he transformed into lightning, barely evading the deadly strike.
