Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis charged at the barrier with his full speed. Sadly, he couldn't use his new way of movement since he was using the saber for something else right now. Gravis readied a big swing and swung his weapon at the barrier, hitting it with the spot of concentrated lightning.

BOOM!

The point of contact exploded, creating a loud explosion. The explosion made a massive hole in the barrier, nearly five meters wide. Gravis smirked. "Just as I thought. An attack with a weapon will always be stronger than an attack without one," Gravis said.

Gravis noticed that the hole was slowly mending, yet his Spirit was no longer blocked from looking through the castle. He saw everything inside the castle, including the core of the Formation Array. He didn't have sufficient knowledge about Formation Arrays to determine what the Formation Array was doing, but that didn't matter.

BZZZZ!

Since Gravis' Spirit had access to the castle, he could create lightning wherever he wanted now. He summoned some lightning above the Formation Array's core and destroyed it, which destroyed the runic lines around the big pile of Energy Stones in the process. The barrier surrounding the castle vanished without a sound.

"Another guild would have probably protected the core of their Formation Array with another Formation Array. I guess that the Heaven Sect isn't really afraid of attacks. Who would attack the undisputed overlord of this world?" Gravis asked with a self-satisfied smirk.

Gravis checked the Heaven Sect for valuables with his Spirit. He found around 5,000 Energy Stones and an unreal amount of gold. Most of the Energy Stones were inside the destroyed Formation Array. There was just as much gold as Gravis had expected, but he was a little surprised about there "only" being 5,000 Energy Stones.

"Well, when Cerb came back with Energy Stones, Aion had absorbed them into his Spirit Space. He probably keeps most of the Energy Stones in there," Gravis guessed.
