Gravis only smirked at Silva's question. "Do I really need to answer that?" he asked. "Think of what she would do in this situation. You should be able to guess what and where she would be right now."

Silva went back into thinking and then snorted. "She is probably 90% sure that we all have died. So, to not get killed by the two powerful level three Lords, she should have left the Tribe."

Gravis nodded. "But that's not all, is it?" he asked.

Silva snorted again. "Of course, she would also plan for the fact that we actually survived. In that case, she would need to go through a hell of tempering to not fall behind. So, she probably went to the territories of the level two Lords and wouldn't return until she is confident enough in her power."

Gravis nodded. "Exactly. I'm pretty sure Shira is currently tempering herself against some other powerful Tribes."

Silva only sneered. "It doesn't matter. I felt the difference between fighting many equal opponents and fighting a more powerful one. I am pretty confident that I can kill her without dying when she returns." Then, Silva's eyes became icy. "As soon as she returns, I will kill her."

Gravis only smiled and nodded. "Sure, you can. Nobody will stop you if you decide to do that, but don't you think that killing her now would be a waste?"

Silva looked with skepticism at Gravis. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Think about it," Gravis said. "Without her constant threat, would you or your Land Camp be as powerful as you or they are now? Didn't the constant pressure push you further than you would have ever thought?"

Silva became a bit frustrated but continued thinking.

Seeing that Silva remained quiet, Gravis continued. "Less than a month ago, you were a Spirit Beast. Now, you have killed a level three Lord with your companions. Without Shira, you wouldn't be a level two Lord now, and you certainly wouldn't be such a powerful one."
