Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 367

Gravis was a bit nervous as he waited for an answer. Around a hundred years had passed for his friends. Anything could have happened to them during that time.

"All of them are still alive," his father said.

Gravis released a sigh of relief. "Is that true?"

"I wouldn't lie to you regarding that. Your will is powerful enough that the death of a friend won't affect your path," his father said.

"Why did you say, regarding that? Would you lie about other things?" Gravis asked with furrowed brows.

"Only to protect you from the old bastard. If I reveal some key secrets, he might just go directly after you. I can't protect you against everything, and this would put you in danger," his father explained evenly.

Gravis sighed again, but he understood. He couldn't know everything about the highest Heaven or the world yet. He simply was not powerful enough. "I understand," Gravis said.

"When will you be going to the middle world? You're finished with your preparations now," his father asked.

Gravis had already thought about that topic. So, he already knew the answer. "I'll go after my 23rd birthday. Spending my birthday with mom, Orpheus, and you, doesn't seem to be such a bad idea."

"According to the time dilation and your physical age, your birthday is in 13 days," his father said. Then, he nodded. "That seems to be a good starting point. I'll inform your brother and your mother on the date."

Gravis nodded and stood up. He stretched a bit and then walked to the door. "I'm going to talk to mom for a bit. Thank you for teaching me how to forge, father," Gravis said with a smile. Then, he turned to the door.

"Gravis, wait," his father said.

Gravis turned around to look at him. "What is it, father?" Gravis asked.

His father sighed, surprising Gravis. This could only mean something bad. Had he lied about his friends?
