Lightning Is the Only Way

Saron looked with surprise at Gravis. Trading? Why this all of a sudden? "You want to trade? Why?"

Gravis didn't react in any major way. "I am very close to reaching the tenth level of Magic Gathering. I only need like 300 more Magic Stones," Gravis explained. "I was on my way to the Earth Guild to sell them some weapons I got from the Darkness Guild."

Saron's eyes shone in recognition. "The Darkness Guild? Did you make the Darkness Guild the same offer as the Fire Guild?" he asked.

Now, it was Gravis' turn to be slightly surprised. "You know about that?"

Saron only laughed slightly. "Everyone knows about it. At least, every guild on the western side of the southern Middle-Continent. Something like this doesn't happen every day, after all."

Gravis shrugged. "Sure. As for your question, yes, I also fought with the Darkness Guild. I wouldn't have gotten enough resources to get my body to the tenth level, otherwise."

Saron rubbed his chin in thought. "The tenth level of the Body in the Magic Gathering Realm is rarely seen. Without a sufficiently powerful element or Magic level, you would have issues. Though, I have noticed that your lightning is different from normal lightning," Saron mused. "For you, it actually makes sense to break into the tenth level of the body before breaking into the Spirit Forming Realm."

Gravis had noticed the specific wording of what Saron had just said. "Judging by what you said, upgrading the body to this level is also possible in the Spirit Forming Realm?"

Saron raised one eyebrow. "Of course. Why wouldn't it be?" he said like it was something obvious. "Though it is way harder. The bigger the difference between the Energy and the body, the harder it is for the body to catch up. It has something to do with balance, but I am not clear on the exact reason."

second there, Gravis had started regretting tempering his body. If he had just concentrated on his Energy, he would have already reached the Spirit Forming Realm. Yet, after Saron thoroughly explained everything, Gravis was glad that he had upgraded his body first. He already had so many troubles getting this

He had expected it to look like a wall made of green, streaking winds. Instead, the Wind Wall looked like a blue sheet with some darker streaks appearing on its surface from time to time. The Wind Wall was incredibly smooth, almost
