Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 382

Gravis and the snake looked at each other. Meanwhile, all the other beasts waited for Gravis to speak up again. They noticed that Gravis was speaking with the snake but didn't know what they were talking about. Orthar also only watched.

Suddenly, Gravis smirked. "You sure are crafty. You nearly got me there," he transmitted.

The snake seemed to frown. "I'm not lying," it said.

"I know, and that's why you're so crafty. You're not lying. You're just not telling me all the relevant information," Gravis said with a smirk.

The snake narrowed its eyes, but it felt nervous inside.

"If I were a ruler over a vast territory, and one beast showed incredible power by killing my underlings, I wouldn't directly kill it," Gravis said. "I would first ask it to join my empire. If it declines, then I would kill it."

Gravis swam closer to the snake. "Doesn't that sound logical and efficient?" he asked.

The snake only narrowed its eyes at him. Yet, it was sure that it would survive. Gravis had already shown that he was interested in its cleverness and ambition. Gravis wanted to use it, which gave the snake worth in Gravis' eyes. Due to that, the snake had taken the risk of trying to manipulate Gravis.

Whoom!

And with that, the snake was unable to move.

"If you want to follow me, I need to trust you," Gravis said as he got closer. "I am already willing to give you the majority of command. I am interested in you because you don't want to remain weak and want to further your power. Only by being this greedy will you put in more effort than anybody else."

"Yet…"

CRRRRR! CRK!

The snake felt unreal pain as it felt something essential in its body getting yanked out. Suddenly, a bloody bone shot out of its mouth.

Seeing its own bone leaving its body, the snake became panicked. Its craftiness left it, and what replaced it were fear and terror.
