Lightning Is the Only Way

The beasts still weren't able to come to terms with the current situation. A normal level three Lord had easily won against two of the most outstanding level five Lords in existence. Those were beasts that could fight two levels above themselves!

"Move your ore away from the arena," the Empress commanded.

Gravis sighed in relief when he heard that. He was afraid that he wouldn't get another opponent after this last fight. In truth, Gravis even felt a bit guilty. He asked for two opponents, got two, and then messed up the fights. It was like he was a kid that had gotten two toys and quickly broke both of them.

Actually, he even felt a bit embarrassed by asking for a third one. He wasn't even sure if he had the shamelessness to ask for a fourth one if he broke this one too.

Only an insane person like Gravis could look at life and death battles like they were toys. Even the craziest beast would act superior and arrogant after finishing these two fights like this. Then, the beast would shout arrogantly into the surroundings and challenge every other beast for a fight. That's how the opponents were normally chosen.

Yet, Gravis looked at this whole thing differently. An enemy wasn't really an enemy to him. It was more like a beast that offered up their life to help him increase his power. That's why he felt bad about "wasting" two such opponents.

Gravis quickly flew out of the arena and summoned all his ore around 100 kilometers away from the arena. He needed the ore to be outside his Spirit Sense so that he wouldn't be able to get it while fighting.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

One huge chunk of ore after the other fell to the ground until there was a pile nearly 20-kilometers-tall. The sheer amount of ore stunned every beast present. How did he have so much ore!? Where did he even keep such a large amount?

Many of the beasts had already realized that Gravis could store stuff in some kind of separate space, but this was just way more than they had ever thought. How big does a separate space have to be to store that much stuff? Also, wasn't all this ore incredibly heavy?
