Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked through the surroundings and smiled a little. Lots of loot was lying around. Cultivators at the Spirit Forming Realm always kept their wealth in their Spirit Space, so what would happen if that cultivator died? Their Spirit Space would crumble, and all their belongings would fall out into the surroundings.

Of course, not all the loot was safe. The loot from the darkness cultivator, for example, had been completely decimated. He had died inside Gravis' insane explosion, and all his belongings had already appeared in the surroundings when the explosion wasn't even over yet. Like this, everything but his weapons had been obliterated.

Gravis gathered everything together and looked at his loot. "Some gold, lots of Energy Stones, some weapons, some pills…" he narrated as he inspected everything. After a while, Gravis found what he was looking for. Gravis' Spirit made a pill bottle fly up, and he looked at it more closely. "That's the pill that made the others breakthrough," he commented.

Sadly, this was the only one remaining. Sear had died due to Gravis' sneak attack, so he never had the chance to take out his pill. The other four had taken those pills, which made Sear's pill the last one remaining. Gravis smiled. "Let's see how good you are," he said and swallowed it.

WHOOOM!

As the pill fell to his stomach, it rapidly dissolved before it could even reach its goal. A mighty wave of Spirit broke out of the pill's remains and directly shot at Gravis' Spirit. Gravis didn't resist, and the pill's Spirit entered his mind.

BZZZZZ!
