Lightning Is the Only Way

And like this, the fight immediately began. There was no talking or posturing. It was just a direct battle to the death.

The shark shot directly at Gravis. He wasn't taking Gravis seriously, but he still remained a bit careful. After all, his son had died inside this Tribe, and something had to be powerful enough to kill him. Maybe it was one of those other level two Lords, but it could have also been Gravis. After all, Gravis was the Leader of this Tribe.

Gravis started falling as he pushed all of his power into his body. Now, his body was about three times as powerful as an average level one Lord. The shark was surprised when he felt the difference. Earlier, Gravis had the weakest body of any level one Lord, but now, he had the most powerful body of any level one Lord.

The shark rose from below as Gravis fell from above. Just as the distance was just fifty meters, Gravis immediately transformed into lightning and shot at the shark with over double his speed. The shark was shocked by the sudden speed.

In no time at all, Gravis arrived at his teeth.

BANG!

With an absolutely unreal speed, the shark closed his mouth. Gravis hadn't expected his mouth to be so fast, and the teeth destroyed part of his lightning since he wasn't fast enough to retreat fully. Gravis immediately transformed back, but 10% of all his power had been lost due to that sudden attack.

BANG!

The bite had been stopped, but the shark was still charging. The closed teeth hit Gravis' body, and he was thrown into the distance. The bite was the shark's most powerful attack, but his charge was also impressive. His full weight, fueled by his incredible speed, hit Gravis like a hammer.

Gravis got shot into the distance, and the shark followed up. Three concentrated beams of water appeared and shot at Gravis.

BZZZZ!

Gravis transformed into lightning again and split apart to evade the beams. Then, the lightning congregated again and recreated his body. Gravis had already lost 10% of his total power, but, luckily, his scales were powerful enough to withstand the shark's charge. Like this, it wouldn't be a waste to change into lightning again.

An injury to the body also counted as wasting power. If Gravis transformed into lightning while being injured, he would be able to recreate a fully healed but weaker body. Additionally, Gravis couldn't afford to get injured in a fight.

Why?

Because his whole body was made up of lightning. This meant that he didn't have any inherent Energy inside his body anymore, which meant that he couldn't create Life Lightning anymore.

Now, when Gravis was injured, he had no way to immediately heal himself effectively again. Transforming his body into pure lightning destroyed any possibility of creating Life Lightning again.
