Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was concentrating on his Will-Aura and never took notice of anything happening over at the tournament. The tournament was held in the middle of the arena, and Gravis sat in a corner. That was a distance of over 500 meters.

"Hey!"

Gravis was trying to compress his Will-Aura. His will had increased again after the massacre of the Basin of Nature, so he wanted to gain further mastery in it. By now, he managed to compress his Will-Aura to a 30-meter cone in front of him. It was no longer affecting all his surroundings, but everything in front of him in a 180° half circle.

"Hey!"

His Will-Aura was now twice as concentrated and also twice as powerful. He judged that his Will-Aura would make a medium-grade demonic beast freeze in fear. He had managed to do that with low-grade demonic beasts in the past, but now he could also do that with medium-grade demonic beasts. He might even be able to surprise a high-grade demonic beast.

"Stop ignoring me!"

This time, the shout came from right beside him, and Gravis got startled and turned to the source. With Gravis' turning, his Will-Aura also shifted, and the Guild Master of Water, who had just shouted at him, received the full brunt.

She blanched and stopped breathing, but only for two seconds. Then, she shook her head and looked at Gravis in fury. "You asshole!" she shouted as she blasted a concentrated beam of water at him. Gravis almost couldn't react to the beam.

Almost.

He was barely able to lift his saber to block the attack. Luckily, he had used the Void-Stone saber, and it absorbed the water. Gravis looked at her in confusion and anger. "Why did you attack me?" he said in anger.

"You bitch!" She shouted in rage. "You killed some beasts, and now you think you can suppress me with your Heavenly Pressure? I'll show you!" She immediately summoned a colossal wave that crashed towards Gravis.
