Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at the two people with a smile. He waited for them to do something, but they didn't move. The only thing they did was glare at him. Gravis waited for ten seconds, and still, nothing happened.

"So, you gonna do something anytime soon?" asked Gravis, bored.

"Didn't you want to fight? Come on, attack!" shouted the Guild Master.

Gravis raised an eyebrow. "You were the one saying that if it weren't for damaging the Earth Guild, you would attack me."

The Guild Master remained silent and stoic, just keeping his shield and weapon ready. To him, there was no sense in speaking any further. He only had to wait for Gravis to attack, then he would show him!

"You know," said Gravis. "It would be really easy for me to return to the Earth Guild right now and do what I want to do. You wouldn't even be able to catch up," he stated.

"You wouldn't!" shouted the Guild Master. "You are cultivating lightning, and you said you would fight us. You won't go back on your word. No one who cultivates lightning does."

Gravis was a little surprised but understood what the Guild Master meant. That was actually true. Basically, everyone that cultivated lightning would go through with what they said, and Gravis was no exception. Though, there was one thing…

"You're right," he said, "but I didn't specify the order, you know."

The two experts remained stoic, but Gravis saw some hesitation in the Guild Master's eyes. The Guild Master realized that he could not stop Gravis if he wanted to go to the Earth Guild. This had been a significant oversight.

"Are you a coward!? Would you actually flee from a fight that you provoked? I don't think so. You are a Spirit Forming Realm cultivator, so I know that you will honor your words!" shouted the Guild Master in a bit to keep Gravis here.

of the two people remained the same, but inside, they sighed in relief. Their biggest worry had vanished. Now, they only had to wait for Gravis to attack. They were best at defending, and their fighting style relied on counterattacks. Gravis attacking them
