Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis sat down when he felt his body advancing. He checked his Spirit Space and noticed that he only had around 50 body tempering pills left. "Wow, I really ate a lot of those pills. Spirit Forming Experts probably have to work for many years to get enough wealth to upgrade their bodies."

Gravis retrieved all the remaining pills and started stuffing them into his mouth. 'No reason to keep them. Might as well just take all of them now,' he thought, stuffing his face with pills. If anyone else saw this, they would grow incredibly angry. Every single one of those pills was costly, yet Gravis was just stuffing them into his maw.

Gravis felt his body heat up, and his breath quickened as well. He concentrated and felt a barrier inside of him. Gravis narrowed his eyes and looked at the barrier with concentration. "Break!" he shouted, and the barrier exploded. As the barrier broke, his breathing grew even faster. His heart beat furiously in his chest.

Blub Blub!

Black bubbles appeared on his body as the body used the additional air to push some black stuff out. Gravis' clothing was ruined immediately. After around five minutes, everything stopped, and Gravis took a deep breath.

"Hurr," Gravis retched as a thick smell of shit burst through his nose because of the deep breath he had just taken. Shortly after, he even barfed out some half-digested pills. Gravis immediately destroyed his clothing with lightning and jumped away.

BZZZ!

Gravis immediately used his lightning to destroy the black stuff around his body, but it didn't work. Those impurities that his body expelled had been part of his body, and therefore, also had his lightning resistance. He couldn't destroy them with lightning. Gravis retched again as he smelt himself. He quickly checked the surrounding 50 kilometers with his body but didn't see any water. Yet, he saw something else. 'This has to do!' he shouted to himself in his mind.
