Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis threw the viper back, freeing it from his grasp. The viper felt an avalanche of relief washing over it when that happened. It was still alive.

"I said, I won't kill you, but I still need to show you that you shouldn't go against me in the future," Gravis said.

CRRRRRR! CRK! Puchi!

A powerful force immobilized the viper's body. Then, it pulled at one of its bones inside its body, tearing it off. After that, identical to what Gravis had done to Shira, the bone shot out of the viper's body. After leaving its body, the bone only hovered above Gravis' opened hand.

The viper felt incredible pain and fear. What was this power? How did this beast manage to tear a bone right out of its body without even touching it? Not even their Lord had that ability.

When Shira saw that, she felt some satisfaction. She had gone through the same, and it felt good to her to see someone else go through her humiliation and pain.

Gravis just looked at the viper. "What's your name?" he asked.

"Silva," it said weakly.

"You're male judging by your name, right?" Gravis asked.

"Yes," Silva said.

"Alright," Gravis commented and slithered back to the Spire. None of the gathered beasts dared to get close to him. His display had intimidated them.

"As you all have heard by my discussion with Silva, it makes no difference if we break the laws or not. The Tribes have created these laws to keep their forces together. The land beasts don't want to lose their forces to the sea beasts and vice versa."

"They make everyone believe that there is only one enemy. Yet, that is not true. Plenty of Tribes on the so-called same side fight with each other, maybe even more than with the so-called enemy. When your Tribe gets annihilated by a Tribe from the same side, do you not consider them as enemies? They are ready to kill you. Therefore, they are your enemy."
