Lightning Is the Only Way

"That's him, right?" a 500-meter-tall ape with powerful muscles asked the beast beside him.

The other beast was a skinny and long lizard, just a bit longer than the ape.

"According to the description, yes," the lizard answered.

Right now, they both looked down at Gravis, who was still sitting on top of the Spire. The two beasts were outside of Gravis' Spirit's range. Luckily, since they were level four Lords, their awareness reached further than Gravis'. Because of that, they could see him, while Gravis couldn't see them.

The ape looked around with furrowed brows. "I see no other beasts. Wasn't he supposed to be the Leader of some River Tribe or something?" the ape asked.

The lizard sneered. "According to intel, yes, but we received that intel several weeks ago. Some things might have changed. We can just ask him before we kill him."

The ape furrowed his brows further. "Don't forget what the Commander has ordered. According to what the two-headed snake has said, this beast has the ability to fight two levels higher than itself. I don't believe that shit, but our Commander wanted us to test it out."

"Sure, sure," the lizard commented nonchalantly. "We just need to test it and then kill him. After all, that's why both of us have been sent to this shitty backwater place."

The ape sneered and huffed. "Yeah, we're so far away from our home that the beasts here don't even know about our Kingdom. It's been a long while since some weaklings dared to question me. If our Commander hadn't said that we shouldn't waste food, I would have annihilated these weaklings."

The lizard only rolled his eyes. "Why do you care what some ants think about you? That's exactly what the Commander meant when she said that this is your biggest weakness. We stand above them. After all, only power matters."

The ape huffed again and crossed his arms. Yet, he seemed to have accepted the lizard's words. This showed that they respected their Commander quite a bit.

"Anyway, let's greet him," the lizard said with a bloodthirsty smirk.

The ape nodded.
