The initial strikes of a basic multi-modal lightning tribulation did not really amount to anything impressive.
The tribulation storm may have converted the straightforward lightning bolts from above into
more complicated tribulation manifestations, but their power level was not that impressive at first.
That slowly changed as the Elegant Rage under the control of Major Simon Jankowski defeated one lightning manifestation after another.
Though the Elegant Rage was able to maintain the upper hand each time, there was no way for the mech armed with thorns, tonfas and a special rifle to avoid damage.
This was particularly the case when the defeated manifestations exploded and showered the nearby mech with the power of destruction and creation!
