Lightning Is the Only Way

The next couple of days were peaceful. With Shira and Silva no longer scheming against each other, the Camps had a way easier time. Neither of the two decided to suppress the other Camp anymore. After all, the power of their Camps was meaningless in the struggles. Orthar and Morn would just kill all the more powerful beasts.

But now, the Tribe already had five level two Lords, Shira, Silva, Morn, Orthar, and Liza. Such a Tribe could already be counted as the strongest inside the area where level two Tribes congregated. Yet, the Tribe had only just reached that area.

Orthar and Morn had also killed a level two Tribe solo, but it had proven to be incredibly difficult. Both had been injured severely, which showed that they were no longer stronger than Shira and Silva. By now, all four of them were at about the same power.

They wanted to continue tempering themselves, but Gravis stopped them. Because…

"Who killed my son!?" an angry shout thundered through the whole River Tribe. A two-kilometer-long shark flew above the Spire. When Gravis felt his power, he grew excited but also nervous.

Normally, he would only be excited by such a powerful opponent, but what made him nervous was that the opponent hadn't come alone. Beside him stood a massive crab, which was even slightly bigger than the shark. This crab was also a level three Lord.

Gravis hadn't expected that the Stone Tribe would send two level three Lords. Didn't they need to hold their own territories too? Surely, they didn't have an overabundance of level three Lords. So, why had they sent two?

The reason for that was that the Stone Tribe had lost twice. Losing a level one Lord was no issue. Losing a level two Lord hurt them a bit because level two Lords took up positions as powerful commanders and officers.

What if they lost a level three Lord? The whole Tribe only had three of those, and losing one would prove devastating. Because of that, they had decided to make a show of strength to deter their enemies. After that, they sent two of the three level three Lords to finally end this matter.

Gravis narrowed his eyes. 'Fighting one level three Lord is already very dangerous to me. Fighting two of them is certain death. I need my Will-Aura to deal with one of them. If I split it amongst two, it won't be as effective, and if I focus it only on one, the other one will be too fast for me to react.'

'Additionally, I can't even flee. I am faster than a level two Lord in my Lightning Form, but not as fast as a level three Lord. They could catch me and use up all my lightning. This would also be certain death.'
