Lightning Is the Only Way

After some minutes, the group arrived beside some sort of arena. In comparison to the last one, this arena wasn't nearly as big or ostentatious. The last arena had a size of about 50 kilometers, while this one only was 30 kilometers wide.

Additionally, the ground wasn't made of some powerful ore. The ground inside the arena was just normal earth, as far as Gravis could tell. Some Earth Movers probably repaired the arena after every use. The only thing not made out of earth were the walls that surrounded the arena, which were instead made out of some King Rank ore.

Yet, even though Gravis realized all these things, he didn't care about them. Right now, he was completely focused on his own emotions. This whole situation with this stupid rule had frustrated and enraged him to no end, and he wanted nothing more than to just vent right now. It was just the crocodile's bad luck that it had decided to provoke him during this sensitive period.

Was it fair to vent all his emotions onto a beast he didn't know?

It depends.

If Gravis simply attacked someone like this, one could argue that Gravis had no right to attack them. Yet, by issuing a challenge, the decision fell back onto the crocodile's back. By declining, Gravis wouldn't be able to do anything to it without getting killed by some elder.

The crocodile had accepted the duel, which conveniently transformed Gravis' venting of rage into some life and death tempering. The reason why life and death tempering took place wasn't important. Beasts fought and killed each other all the time to become more powerful.

BANG!

Gravis hit the middle of the arena with quite some force, destroying a lot of earth in the process. He only looked towards his empty front with rage-filled eyes. As soon as the crocodile would enter the arena, he would be able to vent some of his frustration.

"Go in," the monkey said to the crocodile. "As soon as you enter the arena, you can't exit without killing him."

The crocodile only smirked. "I'm looking forward to the fight. I know that all breeders can fight against beasts two levels higher than them. I'm not so arrogant to think that this battle will be easy, but that's even better. I've been through a lot of difficult fights in my life, and I enjoy the challenge."
