Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis saw the attacks coming, and he quickly thought of a plan. Gravis could control his Will-Aura very delicately, and he was able to quickly distort both wills in the attacks. The second attack wouldn't be able to hit them while they had to evade the first one.

BZZZT!

A long line of lightning connected Gravis and his earlier thrown saber, which was still shooting away with a lot of force. Gravis grabbed Skye as best as he could and then used the power of his earlier throw to pull Skye and himself to his saber, which quickly pulled them higher. The first lightning bolt missed them, while the second one flew wildly away.

Gravis' saber came back into his hand, and their ascent stopped. It was hard for Skye to fly at this height, and it quickly plummeted to its old height. Skye was breathing heavily due to its exertion. Flying on that speed, on that height, was difficult. The higher the height, the lower the density of the air.

"Skye, use your wind next," Gravis said to Skye, who understood what he meant. They had kept the flexibility of its wind element a secret so that they could evade more attacks. If Skye had used it since the beginning, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore.

The expert saw his attacks missing again, and his eyes narrowed further. A sea of lightning appeared around him, and he finally stopped underestimating Gravis. He shot eight lightning bolts at once and filled all of Gravis' surroundings with them. Gravis couldn't possibly evade those, right?

"Now!" shouted Gravis, and Skye's speed increased by 30%. The lightning missed, but the expert quickly controlled one lightning bolt after another to shoot at Gravis' new location. The bolts had not reached a distance of 60 meters before, so Gravis hadn't been able to distort their will.

The lightning chased Skye, and Gravis quickly distorted its will when it came close enough. Then, Gravis jumped off Skye with his full power, violently throwing Skye down while he soared upwards. Skye had issues to get its balance back, but the lightning missed both of them. Skye used its wind element to stabilize its flight and to also throw Gravis back onto its back.

The lightning continued flying forward for a whole second due to its distorted will. The expert screamed in rage and used all his spiritual power to showcase his control. The lightning bolts hit each other and then exploded into a gigantic net of lightning, a hundred meters in size.

shot forward. By now, the expert had realized the area of effect of Gravis' Will-Aura, and he made the net shoot towards them before it reached the area. Even if Gravis distorted the will of that attack, the net

dove further while the lightning in the spear hit the lightning in the net. The whole net quickly shot into the spear, and the spear got reduced to ashes.

BOOM!

explosion took place, and lightning ravaged the sky. Gravis jumped a little to absorb part of the lightning explosion since Skye didn't have such a great lightning resistance. His whole body burned, and he could feel the lightning ravaging his body. Luckily, the lightning was not concentrated. Gravis' body was ravaged, but he managed to protect his organs with the attack's
