Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was really surprised when he saw the High Priest entering his Spirit. That was possible?

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. "How did you manage to get here?" he asked with interest. "Is that also a perk of the Unity Realm?"

The High Priest had already won, so he didn't mind explaining. "I cultivate the wood element."

"Wood element?" Gravis asked, surprised. "I've never heard of this element."

The High Priest snorted in arrogance. "Because I've annihilated the Wood Sect some decades ago."

"And why would you do that? You must've had a really good reason to kill your old home," Gravis asked.

The High Priest was a little surprised how well Gravis took the situation. Didn't he realize that he was about to die? "You're right. I thought of the Wood Sect as my home. I had a powerful and selfless master. I had many friends that I considered as my family," the High Priest said in revery.

"Yet, as soon as I told them that I was a Heavenborn," the High Priest sounded more aggressive now. "They all abandoned me. They called me a traitor and shunned me. I never forgot the cold look my master gave me and the fearful and distant looks of my friends."

"I thought that I could still see the Sect as my home, but I was proven wrong," the High Priest said coldly. "But as soon as I showed even an inkling of being from somewhere else, they threw me away like trash. In their eyes, I was not worthy of being part of their Sect."

"So," the High Priest said coldly. "I killed them, every single one of them. They threw me away like trash, so I showed them who actually was the trash. As soon as I became the High Priest, I annihilated their whole Sect. Father wasn't happy about that, but he needed his High Priest. That's how I became the only wood cultivator left in this world."

"Interesting," Gravis said while scratching his chin, "and how does your wood element help you to enter my Spirit Space?"
