Lightning Is the Only Way

"Where did that suddenly come from?" Lasar asked. "You've thought about this debt for over a year, and now you just say that everything is resolved? Sounds like a waste of time to me."

Gravis didn't get angry at that comment. By now, he had regained his calm mind. "I have no other choice," he said.

Lasar lifted a brow. "That sounds weird. What happened?"

While waiting for Gravis' answer, Lasar informed the still present Patriarch and Grand Elder that they should wait a minute. He was still in the middle of explaining how Gravis could become so strong but had to stop due to Gravis contacting him.

Gravis told Lasar everything that happened in the last couple of minutes and also his predictions regarding that situation. After Gravis was finished explaining, Lasar scratched his stubble with his fingers.

"This is interesting," Lasar said in thought. "And you say that this is basically the same feeling that you had had when you were under the influence of Lightning's Temperament in the Proxy-Lightning Guild?"

"Yes. It's exactly the same," Gravis answered.

"Huh, I think I know what's going on with you," Lasar said. "You might know more about how Heaven and the world works, but don't forget that I have been the Sect Master of the Lightning Sect for a while. I have a lot of experience in that regard, and I saw a lot of people being influenced by Lightning's Temperament. So, please take my following words seriously, okay?"

Gravis nodded. "Sure, but you didn't have to show your authority on the subject like that. I wouldn't take your words lightly either way."

Lasar smiled a little. "That's good to hear. Anyway, I think that you are constantly being influenced by Lightning's Temperament, even when you're calm."

Gravis furrowed his brows. "I'm not sure if that makes sense. After all, I don't just kill someone as soon as they look at me the wrong way."

"Let me finish," Lasar said. "Let's say we have two kinds of personalities that an elemental cultivator always has. One personality is their own, while the other is the personality of their element. This makes sense, right?"

Gravis nodded. "Sure."
