Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis gritted his teeth. 'Fuck, I only have a single option left!' Gravis thought as he retrieved his Lightning Board and shot away.

"I also know about your Lightning Board. The arena is perfectly sized to counter your Lightning Board," the priest said evenly. The priest stopped charging forward and kept watch over Gravis. He wouldn't be able to follow him at that speed, so he quickly charged to one wall to wait for him.

When Gravis saw that, he immediately jumped off the Lightning Board again. He had used the Lightning Board as a feint to get to the other side of the arena. Sadly, that still cost him around 3% of his lightning.

"Interesting. A feint. That will only work once. I will just continue charging at you, and you have to accelerate every time. I know that acceleration takes up the most lightning. As long as I follow this pattern, you will waste your lightning away," the priest said as he charged at Gravis with his shield again.

Gravis' eyes became bloodshot. 'This is the only chance! If this doesn't work, I will die!' he shouted inside his mind.

Whoop!

A torso appeared before Gravis, and he kicked it forward at the charging priest, who, by now, was around 200 meters away from Gravis.

CRRR!

The sound of feet digging into the ground resounded as the priest immediately stopped. He knew that Gravis could hide the Lightning Bomb inside a torso. The agents have told him of that. The torso would deteriorate before the Lightning Bomb exploded, so he had enough time to check if a Lightning Bomb was inside the torso or if that was also a feint.

BZZZ!

Sure enough, a colossal Lightning Bomb came out of the torso. The priest had studied Gravis' fighting thoroughly. Even the High Priest himself helped the priest with the calculations. According to math, this Lightning Bomb had around 80% of Gravis' Spirit and lightning. The power and fluctuations of the lightning were in sync with the calculations. Math was never wrong.

in this condition, the priest didn't lose his focus. He had closed his eyes and had also shielded them while he had cradled his head in his arms. With this, he had evaded blindness. After the explosion, he had immediately opened them and looked at the front. Due to the explosion, the surroundings were unstable,
