Lightning Is the Only Way

After a couple of minutes, Gravis stood up again. Then, he looked up at the ceiling with a smirk.

"This has been your best opportunity to kill me, Heaven," Gravis said with a chuckle. "I was at my weakest at the start of this Heaven's Trial. From here on out, I will only become stronger. On top of that, you have already sent the perfect counter. You might be able to send another priest, but that one won't counter me as well as the previous one. On top of that, my Will-Aura has also become more powerful."

This was precisely the reason why Heaven had been so frustrated. The most powerful thing that it could send at him was a priest, and the last one had already been the one that had had the best chances of killing Gravis. Any other priest would have even less of a chance of winning. It had missed its best opportunity.

Of course, Heaven didn't answer Gravis, but Gravis didn't need an answer to guess what Heaven was thinking. Gravis was also sure that Heaven had another scheme cooked up to kill him. A priest might've been the most powerful thing it could send, but there were more things that it could do. A straight-up battle was not the only way to stop or kill Gravis.

He was sure that something special was waiting for him later on. Yet, Gravis wasn't afraid or nervous. He was confident enough in his smarts and will to get through everything that Heaven could throw at him. In his mind, the only dangerous thing to him was a powerful enemy.

As for his Will-Aura…

"4% compression. Not bad," Gravis said. "Though, still not a level three Unity Will."

Gravis also checked the spear and saw that it was a peak-grade Spirit Weapon. Materials capable of forging something at the Unity level just weren't present in this lower world. Therefore, peak-grade Spirit Weapons were the best weapons that anyone could have.

Gravis' saber was also a peak-grade Spirit Weapon. The only thing that made it special was the fact that the Formation Arrays on it were different. Old Man Lightning had specifically created those for Gravis. Of course, the area on a saber was limited, so to make space for these new Formation Arrays, some old ones had to be cut. This made it impossible to preload the conventional loaded attacks.

But that didn't matter. Why would Gravis want to load a conventional loaded attack when he could load it with a Lightning Crescent? After all, a Lightning Crescent was many times more powerful.

Gravis said to himself as he got that thought. "I should learn to forge when I get back to my homeworld. If I didn't have this
