Lightning Is the Only Way

It had been two months since the incident at the Proxy-Lightning Guild, and Gravis was running along a road to the north. He had wallowed in guilt for several days after the incident. Every morning, Gravis woke up in a cold sweat as the scene from the Lightning Guild repeated itself in his dreams. Even two months after it had happened, he still felt deep pain whenever he thought about Gorn.

Even though Gravis had realized that part of the reason why Gorn had died was probably Heaven, it still didn't make him guiltless. Yes, Heaven had probably stolen all the karmic luck from Gorn, and that had been a major contributing factor, but Gravis still couldn't push the blame away. If he hadn't acted without thinking, Gorn would still be alive. This matter weighed heavily on Gravis' mind.

Yet, Gravis still decided to keep on going. Even though Gravis couldn't ever repay what Gorn had done for him, he could still take a partly revenge. Gravis looked at the sky in rage. The only reason why his mindless attack killed Gorn in one attack was probably Heaven. Gravis could only do two things for Gorn: Help the Lightning Sect and destroy Heaven.

Gravis also didn't forget about Jaimy. Jaimy had tried to kill Gravis and threw him into a cesspool. He was also part of the reason why Gravis went insane with anger and hatred. Jaimy also had to pay!

Even though Gravis was plagued by guilt, he never neglected his strength. His Energy Vortex automatically sucked in the Energy in the atmosphere, and after a lot of time, it would reach saturation. At that point, Gravis only needed to compress the Energy with his will.

Meditation also helped in expediting the increase in Energy. If Gravis meditated, the Energy Vortex's power would be increased by about five times. Gravis had concentrated on increasing his realm first, before venturing to the Middle-Continent.

Gravis expected that his Will-Aura, his extremely strong physical body, and his Destruction Lightning probably allowed him to win against people three levels above him. This might not sound like much, but it was important to note that every level doubled the previous Energy. Someone three levels higher than Gravis would have eight times the Energy.
