While being in the Illusion Array, he could have rotated it to not allow any Seed Stage cultivator to get close to him, but he needed to kill some of them to stop more from attacking him.

The eyes of the other people widened in shock.

"Wha-"

And another one fell unconscious.

"Hey, that joke gets old if it's repeated too many times," Gravis said in seriousness. His dry delivery made the people incredibly confused. Was the intruder annoyed? What did the intruder do? What was happening?

"Oi, bush," Gravis transmitted to the thorny bush. "I am going to walk forward now, and you better not touch me."

Gravis had said a lot of details that others shouldn't know. Yet, the sheer impossibility of what he said still made this hard to accept.
