Lightning Is the Only Way

SLAP!

Gravis got slapped away, and many of his teeth left his mouth. He spun a couple of times and landed on the floor.

"Oh, Gravis, Gravis," Byron said with a mocking tone. "You feel yourself superior by knowing about the worlds and thinking that you know Heaven better than anyone else. Yet, precisely that made you a perfect target."

Byron walked closer to Gravis. "People from a different world? Who could possibly believe that?" he mocked as he walked closer. "Heaven telling me all your secrets? No one would believe me if I said that Heaven spoke to me."

Byron kneeled down and lifted Gravis by his hair. "You thought yourself so knowledgeable and wise, yet you believed shit that no one with a rational mind would believe."

Gravis suddenly punched since he had no weapon anymore.

THUMP!

Gravis' fist hit Byron's chest, destroying parts of his robes, but otherwise, Byron didn't move. Gravis had no more lightning, so he wasn't able to load his punch. Byron's body was way more powerful than Gravis, and he ignored the punch. Byron continued smirking, grabbed Gravis' arm, and then slapped him with the other one.

SLAP!

Gravis was shot into the distance again, his arm getting ripped off as it still remained in Byron's grip. Parts of Gravis' face caved in as he started spitting blood.
