Release That Succubus-Chapter 78 Solution

This was the first time Luna saw a magic spell on this huge a scale. S rank magic was quite scary especially one that had the potential of damage as that of a natural catastrophe. She was feeling so nervous looking at the slowly accumulating dark clouds that she was unconsciously digging her nails into her arms.

When she found out about the nature of the magic from Bruce, her bloodlust could not be controlled through normal means. If she could go to the past, she would have brutally murdered the bastard father and son so as to avoid this situation today. But unfortunately even magic was unable to bring back lost time and opportunities. She vowed to make the bastards bleed if they managed to survive but before that she needed to do something to save Zach.

Luna, who couldn't imagine a world without Zach now that she had fallen into the abyss of love, was willing to sacrifice her life to wield defensive magic capable of thwarting such a large scale spell in order to save Zach. But of course she would have to opt for the same method as that used by Frederick. She would have to burn out her own life force to cast a fiery barrier of that level that could defend against lightning element that had the most penetration power amongst all kinds of elemental attacks.

"Don't worry master; I won't let anything happen to you even if I have to burn my life to do so." Luna looked extremely determined as the fiery barrier that usually surrounded her in battle began to expand in scale. Sweat dripped from her entire body and drenched all her clothes as she held in the pain of her life force being stripped from her.

Zach knew that Luna could be a lunatic when it came to him so he could more or less guess what she was doing from the pained expression on her face.

Although tender emotions enveloped his being, his face became cold as ice as his penetrating gaze locked on to Luna with anger visible on his face.

Luna panicked when she found Zach looking at her so intensely. She knew that he had found out what she was planning to do but she stubbornly tried to carry through with her plan; at least Zach held her hand with enough force to cause her pain.

"Stop whatever you are doing or I won't care about you any longer." Zach threatened Luna while he fully displayed his anger.

If there was something more terrifying to Luna than losing her life, then it was definitely this. She couldn't live without Zach; literally. She would rather die.

? Therefore, when Zach threatened her like that she ruefully looked at Zach before cancelling the magic that was almost reaching full preparation.

Seeing that she had retracted her magic, Zach patted her head and caressed her hair lovingly as he whispered, "Good girl." in her ear.

Luna felt somewhat happy but she couldn't hide the worry in her heart. She believed Zach but the magic spell was too scary; even for Zach. Unlike the others, she knew that Zach's strength was not as exaggerated as to handle this kind of magic spell.

Unlike Luna who was willing to burn the world for Zach, Diana couldn't help but blame herself. It was due to her that Zach had gotten involved in the business of the Luther family.

She had not only doomed her family and her big brother but also Zach who had been kind enough to care about a strange and helpless girl in the forest despite not knowing her. And instead of returning the favor, Diana had shamelessly taken advantage of his kindness to solve her own problems. In the end he was now about to pay for the crimes that she had committed even though all he had done was help her.

"This is entirely my fault." Diana muttered in a lifeless voice. She had been silent ever since she returned after castrating the heir of the Sosis family as if dreading the outcome of her impulsive action.

Bruce looked at his sister with a complicated expression as he imagined what kind of self blame and regret she might be feeling at the moment. Despite wanting to, Bruce couldn't comfort her because this wasn't the time to do so. He needed to think of some solution to the problem hanging above their heads like a thousand ton anvil about to flatten them into meat patties.

Zach on the other hand only called out to Diana in a firm tone that allowed no disobedience, "SNAP OUT OF IT; this is not the time."

Diana looked at him with all the helplessness and regret evident on her face. She looked like she was about to cry but at the same time a weird kind of determination could be felt from her pitiful gaze.

"Maybe if I apologize to the Sosis family and offer myself to them…" She was unconsciously mumbling like a broken robot that had its processor shorted. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

"Diana…DIANA…" Zach called out to her but when she didn't snap out of her daze he had to shout out loud in order to get her attention.

"Do you really think that this will go away even if you give yourself over to them…HUH?" Zach was getting angry at the way she was losing control of herself in this critical situation. He had trained her sufficiently but she was still far too green to handle a situation like this no matter how rebellious she might have been in the past.

"BUT I have to try; I can't let them all die because of something that I did." Diana retorted to Zach's snubbing.

She finally let go of her emotions and gave in to tears as she looked at all her innocent family members who were about to suffer the cruelest fate due to her impulsive actions. She wanted to try her best at least for them who always stayed loyal to her family and never left them despite their fallen status and weakened strength.

Before Zach could say anything further to convince her, *ding* sound rang out that took all his attention. He wondered if there was some hostile entity heading his way again.

Zach could expect such a thing from Frederick since he was as cunning as a snake. He might have sent someone to finish the job in case Zach or the others escaped under the S rank magic.

Zach smiled as he thought that Frederick could be quite thorough when he needed to be.

[Approaching Thunderstorm detected]

[Weather conditions match the requirements for the usage of the Superconducting Lightning Rod. User can employ the Superconducting Lightning Rod to control and manipulate the lightning element.]

A big smile broke all over Zach's face that would be considered creepy in any other situation.

The only reason he didn't receive weird looks from others was because no one actually cared about his creepy smile in the midst of all that chaos.

As the surroundings came back into focus, Zach witnessed Diana try to leave the mansion in an attempt to surrender herself to the enemy but Zach hurried after her and pulled her back by tugging on her elbow forcefully.

"I told you to stop being stubborn already. Can you not complicate things any further?" Zach chided her on her childish thinking with a severe look as he helplessly looked towards Bruce for help.

"Then do YOU have any other solution?" Diana was not willing to back down even if it was Zach in front of her. She felt that she owed her family members at least that much. She needed to take responsibility.

"In fact I do have one." Zach replied with a smirk.

These words gained him the undivided attention of the entire household. Even Bruce had not expected such an answer especially when Zach had previously been just as clueless as him about a countermeasure.

"Huh…you do?" Diana asked as if she couldn't believe what she heard. At the same time all the resistance that had been building up within her died out as if it hadn't existed in the first place.

Zach only nodded before he climbed the mansion wall and jumped onto the highest roof of the mansion that was closest to the thunder clouds.

Opening up the inventory, Zach brought out the Superconducting Lightning Rod that had been gathering dust in his Weapons Arsenal up until then. Had it not been for the system reminder and the notification regarding the weapon, Zach might have even forgotten about it entirely.

This was the weapon that had the highest attack power among all his weapons but Zach had been unable to make use of it till now due to lacking weather conditions for its usage.

Thanks to Frederick, he had the chance to witness the destructive power of his strongest weapon.

Zach once again confirmed the weapon skills by reading the weapon description. He couldn't help but glance at the ridiculous magic attack of 3600 that was more than twice as destructive as the Flame Gloves that he loved so much.

Looking over the skill description he sighed in relief as he felt that he had found a lifeline in this dire situation.
