Lightning Is the Only Way

"So, what will you be doing now?" asked the Vice-Guild Master of the Fire Guild.

Gravis stretched his neck, creating some satisfying cracks. "I'll stay near the Fire Guild for some days and then leave. You fire cultivators might be aggressive, but I prefer that over this hypocrisy. Wanna join me?" asked Gravis with a casual smile.

The Vice-Guild Master only smiled bitterly. "No, thanks. I am too old for all this excitement. I'll just stay here and do my job. Thank you for the offer, though," he said.

Gravis shrugged. "Alright, suit yourself. Have fun!"

With that said, he left for the Fire Guild. This whole thing with the Earth Guild had taken longer than expected, but it was actually better this way. Gravis had tested a lot of things and managed to extend his arsenal of fighting techniques. Gravis also finally got to fight people at the Spirit Forming Realm. Even though they had been pretty weak, the fight still gave him a lot of information.

What if they had been at the Seed Stage with fitting weaponry? At that point, Gravis would have probably needed to activate his Will-Aura. The level suppression would still allow the experts to move, but they would still have been weakened by over 30%. Yet, Gravis wouldn't have been able to crack their defenses like that. He would have probably needed to use his weapon to exhaust their Energy at that point.

On top of that, their stronger elements would have probably also allowed them to use other attacks. As soon as they had noticed Gravis' powerful body, they had probably already abandoned all thoughts of injuring him with their element. Though, it would have been different if they had been at the Seed Stage. It would have also become nearly impossible to block or parry their attacks.

What had surprised Gravis was their apparent vulnerability to lightning. The magnetism of lightning had been very useful against their weapons. His lightning also allowed him to outspeed them. Lastly, it was also very strong when attacking them. By all intents and purposes, lightning seemed to counter earth, which was weird. Usually, one would think that earth would counter lightning, but apparently, that wasn't the case.
