Lightning Is the Only Way

The earth disciples started closing in while Gravis waited calmly. Yet, after another minute, Gravis grew impatient. "This is taking too long. I'm coming to you," he said.

BOOM!

Gravis pushed himself forward with his physical body, assisted by some of his lightning. He wasn't fully loading his feet but only using it to go a little faster. After all, he had to be prepared for the "fight".

Even while only using a slight bit of his lightning, he was already double as fast as the earth disciples. As they saw him closing in, they grew more nervous and fearful. This wasn't how this was supposed to go! They wanted to keep their beliefs and their lives! If this continued, they would just die. Yet, they had already committed to it and couldn't just back out now.

After a couple of seconds, both sides finally met each other. When 100 meters was between them, they stopped.

BANG, BANG, BANG!

Their huge shields hit the ground with mighty sounds. They built a fortification with their shields with impressive speed. After that, they waited for Gravis to approach.

"What's up?" Gravis asked. "Why did you stop? Don't you want to kill me?" he asked.

"Go ahead! Attack us!" the older person shouted. "If you attack us, you will see what will happen!"

Gravis saw this and got reminded of his fight against the Guild Master and Vice-Guild Master of the Earth Guild. This was exactly the same.

"But isn't it you guys who want to kill me?" Gravis asked. "Isn't waiting like this without attacking already a betrayal of your beliefs?" Gravis asked with amusement in his voice.

The people gritted their teeth. On the surface, they didn't want to admit that, but their emotions begged to differ. They felt rage and frustration at Gravis' words. Not because he was provoking them, but because, in their eyes, he was forcing them to kill themselves. Why couldn't that stubborn guy just leave? In their minds, Gravis was simply too cruel.

BANG, BANG, BANG!

The shields cluttered as the fortification decided to move forward. They did this one step at a time, and they were moving even slower. Yet, this time, Gravis didn't mind that. They could move as slow as they wanted. Even mortals were able to cross a distance of 100 meters without taking too much time.

Even with their slow speed, attacking from such a close range wouldn't be an issue to them. Yet, they just
