Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had made his decision. If he went with the lie, he had a possibility of survival. If he revealed his Will-Aura, on the other hand, he might also survive, but Gravis decided to trust Gorn. Gorn was probably aware of things that Gravis wasn't.

"Alright," Gravis said politely. Then, he closed his eyes and acted like he was concentrating. After a while, a faint pressure appeared slowly in the surroundings, and it was increasing in intensity as time progressed. The man from the Heaven Sect seemed to be interested as he felt the pressure. This was quite a strong heavenly pressure.

Yet, his eyes changed to seriousness as the pressure kept increasing until he felt shocked. He felt like he saw Heaven itself, pressing down on him.

Gravis had decided to release his full Will-Aura for multiple reasons. If he released only part of it, the person might notice. Also, if the pressure was weak, the person might be able to notice some peculiarities. The chances were high that the person had felt a lot of Heavenly Pressures before, so Gravis decided to release all of it so the person might get overwhelmed and miss some key differences.

Gravis had not compressed his Will-Aura. In his long time of waiting for the tournament, he had, of course, also trained in compressing his Will-Aura. He could now compress it into the form of a 90° cone in front of him. If he compressed his Will-Aura, its intensity would increase by four times. That might be too strong.

Gorn also felt the pressure and noticed that it had grown by a lot. The only time when he had felt the pressure was when the Guild Masters were surrounding Gravis at the start of the entrance exams.

Ever since then, Gravis had fought against the spider, committed a bloodbath in the Basin of Nature, and had trained in the Lightning Tower. Compared to the first two, the increase in will caused by the Lightning Tower's pain was minuscule.

After some seconds, Gravis retrieved his Will-Aura again and sighed in exhaustion. He remembered that Gorn said that keeping up Heavenly Pressure was taxing to the user.

CLAP CLAP CLAP!

The man from the Heaven Sect was applauding for Gravis. "What magnificent Heavenly Pressure," he said with excitement. "There is no doubt! You are one of us." The man believed Gravis fully. If Gravis had only released part of his Will-Aura, the person might think about the eventuality that Gravis might have a Will-Aura.
