Lightning Is the Only Way

The red hawk looked at Gravis with hatred and flew to the middle of the arena.

BANG!

It landed in the middle of the arena, its weight creating the sound of a loud explosion.

"Stop," the Empress said, making the red hawk's feathers stand up due to fear. Had it done something wrong? Was it about to die?

Gravis looked at the Empress with his standard, even look.

"The mountain is too small for your fight," the Empress said. "Use the arena beside the mountain to fight. The Lords can go to the edge of the mountain and watch. The Kings can watch from where they currently stand."

Whoooom!

The clouds beside the Mountain of Pride parted and revealed a seemingly shining crater. Gravis flew over and looked at the crater with surprise. This was the arena?

It was a round crater, which had a diameter of around 50 kilometers. It was absolutely gigantic. Gravis had never seen such a huge arena before. Additionally, Gravis noticed that the arena was made out of ore at the beginning Ranks of Law Comprehension. Even level five Kings wouldn't be able to damage it.

'That's truly an expensive arena,' Gravis thought with surprise. 'Creating such a huge arena out of Law Comprehension materials is something that probably only a natural world could produce. No human would waste so many powerful pieces of ore to build a mere arena.'

Beasts had nearly no use for ore, which was why they could build such wasteful buildings.

Whoom!

The red hawk flew towards the arena without waiting for another second, while Gravis looked at the ore with a complex expression.
