Lightning Is the Only Way

The traveling people didn't notice Gravis slowly coming closer. If they did, they wouldn't be traveling this leisurely. When Gravis was only one kilometer away from them, he activated his Spirit. He had no intention of attacking those people with an ambush. The fight would be over before he could even warm up like that. Gravis wanted some tempering.

As soon as Gravis activated his Spirit, all four of them immediately turned around to see Gravis just one kilometer away from them. Yet, when they saw Gravis' cloak, they narrowed their eyes.

"Oh? You're from the Greys, right?" the voice of the leading figure of the group appeared in Gravis' head. "And here I thought you wouldn't ever appear. We were waiting for you." Gravis could hear the arrogance in the voice, which only confirmed the relation between the Greens and the Greys more.

Gravis stopped a hundred meters away from them. The four people were all watching him without readying their weapons. Though, at least they had landed. With his Spirit, Gravis could now get a better look at their weapons. All four of them carried long, thin swords. Gravis guessed that the other world, even though it didn't have any elements, was probably still divided. Those four were probably all part of the same organization since all their weapons were identical.

Gravis narrowed his eyes but didn't attack. He still wanted to hear what the Greens were going to say. Everything that Elder Byron had said was only from the side of the Greys, so it might be possible that not everything he said was the truth. "What's the relation between the Greens and the Greys?" Gravis asked.

The leader looked a little surprised, but his grin only widened. "Interesting! You don't immediately trust everything someone says. That's a good mindset, boy," said the leader.

By the sound of his voice and posture, Gravis was sure that the leader of the Greens was a middle-aged man. Sadly, the cloak blocked their bodies and faces, which made it hard to identify them. On top of that, the cloaks also seemed to stop Gravis' Spirit from looking at their real faces. Gravis could still see their silhouettes with his Spirit, but he couldn't see their faces.

"Answer the question," said Gravis with a harsh tone.

hadn't even managed to move their rapier in a block before Gravis hit his chest with a kick, which was fully loaded with lightning. The person immediately exploded as a shower of blood got blasted into the distance. Gravis immediately watched the others, ready for any counterattack, but surprisingly, no one
