Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had been continuously dodging for over three hours now. He slowly started to feel the drain while the Golden Dragon seemed to be as relaxed as ever.

Originally, Gravis had intended to wait for an opportunity when the Golden Dragon became careless, but that opportunity never came. Even though the Golden Dragon looked relaxed, Gravis felt that he never took his guard down.

Gravis had already gotten an idea some hours ago, but he wanted to use that opportunity to kill the Golden Dragon. If he didn't manage to kill it, he would have committed too many resources into the attack and would be disadvantaged for the remaining fight.

The longer this fight dragged on, the harder it would be for Gravis to make a comeback.

At least, that's what Gravis wanted the Golden Dragon to think.

In actuality, Gravis was simply moving the power of his lightning into his body as soon as it lost stamina. Because of that, the used-up lightning would quickly regenerate. The body's stamina didn't regenerate as quickly as it was used up, but his lightning would completely regenerate in a couple of hours. Like this, he had basically infinite stamina.

Additionally, Gravis could also use his Spirit and regenerate that at the same time. This meant that as long Gravis had enough concentration, he could go on forever. Of course, the drain of concentration couldn't be ignored. This was something that he couldn't easily fix.

Gravis had enough experience to know that the drain of his concentration was more significant than the drain of the Golden Dragon's power. Gravis knew that it was usually impossible for a beast to manipulate something outside their body, even if it conformed to their element.

Beasts with an affinity towards metal normally only were able to transform their own bodies into metal. The manipulation of external metal wasn't part of their power.

So, how did the Golden Dragon do that?

There was only one answer that Gravis came up with, and he didn't like it one bit.

The Golden Dragon had comprehended a Law related to metal. Otherwise, it would be completely impossible for the Golden Dragon to manipulate the metal this easily.

On top of that, even though the Golden Dragon only used external metal to attack him, Gravis never forgot the actual ability that a beast with metal affinity had. Gravis knew that if he managed to get close to the Golden Dragon and attack, his opponent would simply transform his body into metal.
