Lightning Is the Only Way

"Could you fucking hurry up?" Gravis shouted in frustration again.

The sphere was moving very slowly towards his saber. It actually took nearly a full minute until it came close enough. When it arrived, Gravis took a deep breath, activated the Formation Arrays in his saber, and then plunged it into the sphere.

WHOOOM!

The sphere quickly vanished into the saber, and Gravis wasted no time in inspecting it.

BRRRRR! CRK! CRK!

The saber was violently vibrating, and parts of it were already falling off. When Gravis saw that, he realized that it would not even hold for a single second longer, so he quickly slashed into the direction of a distant mountain.

CRACK!

While slashing, the saber released a crescent of lightning that shot into the distance, directly at the mountain. During the slash, the saber completely collapsed into fragments that scattered into the surroundings. Luckily, the collapse came from the inside, so the fragments didn't shoot away in a violent manner. If they had, Gravis might've received a couple of new holes in his body.

he also realized something else. "I can't create the sphere inside my saber directly.
