Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and the Red King traveled for a grand total of around ten minutes before the Red King turned to Gravis with annoyance. "Move faster," he commanded. Gravis had only used his Spirit to move forward until now, which was way slower than his Lightning Form.

"I can't move faster right now," Gravis said.

The Red King became angry again as he heard that. "Stop lying! I saw you move faster in your fight," he said with anger.

"I first need to heal my body. Then, I can move faster," Gravis answered evenly.

"Then just go heal yourself! You've done it before," the Red King grumbled.

"You said that you knew about the disadvantages that some advantages bring. Have you lied about that?" Gravis asked.

"Of course I know such a basic concept!" The Red King snapped back. "So, what's stopping you from simply healing yourself?"

"The disadvantage of healing myself," Gravis answered.

The Red King waited for an explanation, but no explanation came. Yet, after his earlier experience, he decided against arguing with Gravis. It was just not worth the frustration. Instead, he just groaned. "This is going to take forever like this."

WHOOOOOM!

Suddenly, the Red King's body seemed to explode. Yet, this was not an explosion but just a rapid expansion of his body. In less than a second, all the light vanished as the gigantic body of the Red King took up all of Gravis' surroundings.

Gravis had to admit that he was a bit shocked by the Red King's size. His body was bigger than Gravis' Spirit Sense, and his Spirit Sense could reach up to 20 kilometers into the distance. Yet, with Gravis' Spirit Sense, he was only able to perceive the Red King's legs and parts of his actual body. Gravis guessed that the Red King was probably 40 kilometers big. Such a size seemed absolutely ridiculous in Gravis' mind. He had never seen a beast even remotely this big.
