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 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.'
