Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis took a deep breath when he heard the red hawk's words. Fighting one level four Lord was already difficult, but fighting a level four Lord Divine Beast? The red hawk had also said that this Golden Dragon could fight level five Lords. Right now, Gravis felt like his death was about to arrive.

Yet, hadn't he just said that he had realized his complacency? So, even though he felt like he was about to die, he didn't lose hope. Even if the fight seemed unwinnable, Gravis would try absolutely everything he had. If he died, so what?

The Golden Dragon quickly arrived and landed. His massive body shook the earth as he coiled into a sitting position. "Master," it said deferentially.

The hawk flew over and landed on the Golden Dragon's head. The Golden Dragon didn't react and just stayed as it was. Apparently, it was used to this blatant display of dominance from the Red King.

"This beast has managed to kill two of our soldiers. They were both level four Lords, but he managed to win either way. His Battle-Strength is definitely more powerful than yours," it said with a grin.

The Golden Dragon looked at Gravis, and Gravis felt its indignance and disregard. It was indignant about what the hawk had said while it disregarded Gravis. In its eyes, Gravis was only some weak level two Lord.

The Golden Dragon never fought beasts equal to its level. It always fought beasts at higher levels than it, but this time, it was supposed to fight a weaker beast? On top of that, this beast wasn't only one level weaker, but two. What kind of joke was this?

"Master, this beast might be talented in combat, but it's still just a level two Lord. In front of absolute power, it can't do anything," the Golden Dragon said.

The hawk smiled slyly. "I know, but I want to see him become truly powerful or die while showing all of his power. That's why I called for you. I want you to fight this beast and kill it. If you win, you will be my choice for the Empress."

The Golden Dragon looked with boredom at Gravis.

"If you can't," the hawk said with a smirk, "you will die. I don't care what it takes. I want you to kill this beast. Even if you have to chase him to the end of the continent, I don't care. Only when you've killed him, will you be eligible for my Empress."

The Golden Dragon still looked with disregard at Gravis.

"No problem, Master," he said calmly.
