Second Thundergod Tribulation (Part 1)

"Damn. It hurts..." Jay cried in pain as he ran towards the academy. As he got closer and closer to the academy, he noticed a large amount of students rushing towards the dormitories. He also heard the evacuation announcements from a few Elders flying just above the academy.

"Jay, I sense a strong and powerful aura from the skies. Be careful with whatever will happen." The Chicken Lord warned Jay as the black clouds in the skies got wider and darker.

"Don't worry. I have a hidden trick up my sleeves. I just need to find Nuggets for now."

After that small talk, Jay hurried inside the academy and went towards the beast tamer classroom.

...

--- Beast Tamer Classroom ---

While Pod, Magnus, Link, and Lissandra were about to leave the classroom to get into the specified formation, Lord Tygon suddenly teleported in front of them.

"That chicken, where is it?"

Not even having a time to answer his question, Lord Tygon immediately grabbed Nuggets from Pod's arms. After that, he checked Nuggets for any kind of magicka disturbance within her body.

"Not good. A 2nd stage tribulation."

After muttering softly to himself, he then told the rest of the Elders to go to their positions.

"On our way my lord." Lord Tygon snapped his fingers after they spoke up and they all got teleported elsewhere.

He then observed Nuggets even more closely and saw a faint and blue dot of light just below her head.

"A Life and death seal? Who could have... THAT KID! S**T!"

After panicking, he immediately gave another order to the Elders.

"If anyone finds Jay, immediately... never mind."

...

Jay suddenly looked like he was out of breath and was about to collapse the moment he entered the beast tamer classroom. He was sweating like crazy. He immediately noticed Nuggets sleeping peacefully on the arms of an elderly person in gray robes. Just as he was going to ask him to leave Nuggets in his care, the elderly person suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him.

"COME WITH ME NOW!"

After that, both of them were teleported to the island's central area.

...

--- Central Area, near a gigantic tree ---

"Is this a Treant? Holy s**t! It's even bigger than Fellis!" Jay exclaimed loudly as he saw the gigantic tree in front of him.

"You can learn all about it some other time. For now, stay with your pet under this tree and DON'T MOVE!" Lord Tygon said as he handed Nuggets over to Jay.

"This old man looks familiar, where have I seen him before... Ah!" Jay thought to himself as he took Nuggets from the old man and saw him leaving.

"Tygon the Moon's Bastard? Damn... Another change in history. What's even worse is this Thundergod tribulation." Jay muttered to himself as he tried to remember some details about Lord Tygon. And while he was trying to remember stuff, Jay used 'Tree of Life' and started gathering magicka at a fast rate.

...

Tygon was the illegitimate son of the Moon Priestess Luna and the first king of Wildergreene. No one knows why, but for some reason, Tygon became an illegitimate son due to some relationship troubles of his parents. Back then, the floating island and Greengarden were actually part of Wildergreene. But because of a civil war that erupted during the first king's reign, he cut ties with the priestesses that ruled over the floating island, including his lover, the Moon Priestess Luna.

The moment the king cut ties with the priestess, she decided to hid the fact that she was pregnant with their son, who she named Tygon. And shortly, after giving birth a few months later, she died while she held Tygon within her arms.

After a few years later, most of the people forgot about the existence of the floating island above Greengarden. Only a few of the old and wise men remembered its existence.

...

Just as Jay was immersing himself in his thoughts about Tygon, the Chicken Lord spoke to him.

"Jay, how do you know all of this? Even I, who lived for thousands of years in this plane, do not know about this stuff."

Jay forgot about the fact that the Chicken Lord can enter his thoughts since the Chicken Lord was already a part of his soul. He really messed up this time.

"I... umm.... can you keep a secret of mine?" Jay asked since he was not sure if he should go with some bulls**t story or admit about the fact that he was reincarnated into this world.

"Looks like a serious matter. Let's see here... why don't we officially form a 'Unbroken Promise Soul Seal' so that you can trust me 100% from now on? If you agree, just let me drink a droplet of your blood and you will also do the same and drink a droplet of my blood."

Jay decided to go for it so anytime he tries to remember stuff about his 10 years of playing Dungeons and Towers of Fate, the Chicken Lord would not question him.

The Chicken Lord pricked his thumb and Jay's thumb and they both exchanged a droplet of their blood. Then they took this droplet of blood onto their mouths.

"Alright. Done. Now, tell me this secret of yours."

Jay immediately told the Chicken Lord about how he was from another world, how he managed to learn about stuff, his 10 years of gaming experience, and things about his reincarnation. He also mentioned Hellson, the Fatelord who made his reincarnation possible.

"Hellson... Hellson... Where did I hear that name... WAIT! The 'FATELORD' HELLSON!?"

The Chicken Lord lost his cool and almost collapsed in shock. Jay did not know what was up with the Chicken Lord so he waited for him to go back to normal and let him speak.

After a few seconds later...

The Chicken Lord went back to his normal state, just standing like a relaxed guy, and spoke up.

"Sorry about that. But, let me confirm this... you said you are a reincarnated person from another world, a world where 'this world we live in right now' is just something you call a VRMMORPG. And for some reason, Fatelord Hellson did some 'magic' on you and caused you to be reincarnated into this world?"

Jay nodded his head. Just as the Chicken Lord was going to say something else, a loud and deafening sound together with a bright beam of blue light crashed down on the entire floating island.

...

"Damn. Just the first strike and the Dragon Turtle Shell Formation is already weakened by 20%."

Lord Tygon broke out in cold sweat as he and around 80 Elders of the academy were in the Dragon Turtle Shell Formation.

The Elders were distributed evenly in the four different areas of the floating island. 20 in the Northern, southern, eastern, and western area. As for Lord Tygon, he was in the Central Area, where the core of the formation was located.

The Dragon Turtle Shell Formation, when formed, showed an illusory image of a giant Dragon Turtle in it's shell. The more realistic the image was, the stronger the formation. But now, the image became a bit transparent which showed that it was getting weaker.

While all of them were preparing for the next strike, Jay suddenly ran beside Lord Tygon while holding Nuggets in his arms.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! I TOLD YOU TO NOT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT TREE!"

Lord Tygon shouted furiously as he saw Jay running recklessly towards him. Just as he was about to teleport Jay back to the gigantic tree, he saw Jay stopped running and stood still. After stopping, Jay gently put Nuggets down on the stony ground and activated the legendary spell 'Tree Of Life'.

Together with him and Nuggets, he also targeted Lord Tygon who was close by.

"What?! This spell... impossible! One of the Lost Magic of the Forest! Tree of Life!" Lord Tygon exclaimed loudly. But he immediately regained his focused state and prepared for the next strike from the black clouds.

"Jay, thanks for your help. But you should probably head back near the Lunarwood Giant... I mean the giant tree."

Lord Tygon thought Jay will comply and go back, but he saw Jay standing still at the same spot while raising both his arms as if he was welcoming the next strike from the tribulation.

"Oi! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
