Lightning Is the Only Way

Instead of evading, Gravis simply waited until the crocodile came closer.

'Twice, already,' he thought. 'I could have killed you again with a Lightning Crescent just now. You can't even distract me properly,' he thought with frustration.

The crocodile was not using its most effective weapon against Gravis, which would be its element. By shooting some compressed water beams or some icicles at him, he would be forced to defend himself or evade. Sadly, the crocodile only charged at him to bite him.

Yet, the crocodile couldn't be faulted for this line of thinking. It was a Divine Beast, and it was two levels higher than Gravis. Theoretically, its body should be around 32 times more powerful than Gravis' body. Therefore, in its mind, its body would be the most powerful weapon against him.

Sadly, that was wrong. Gravis' whole fighting style and attacks were designed for close combat. With his weaker lightning, he would need to spend a lot more Energy to injure the crocodile from a distance.

Additionally, due to the level difference, his lightning wouldn't be fast enough to make the crocodile unable to react. By fighting from a distance, the crocodile would become way more troublesome.

The light vanished around Gravis as the crocodile's maw engulfed him. A crocodile's mouth was the most powerful part of its body, and a bite could crush nearly everything. On top of that, only its snout was broken, which meant that its lower jaw remained uninjured.

While all of this had been going on, Gravis had readied several things inside his Spirit Space. He had become incredibly good at forging, and he could make some small alterations to his equipment in a split second.

Whoop!

Four things appeared around Gravis. At first glance, these things looked like sabers with some kind of platform attached to their hilts. If one looked closer, they would realize that these platforms were shields that had been fused to the hilts of the sabers.

Two of these things were above Gravis, while the two other things were below him. Then, Gravis placed his hands and feet on the backside of the shields so that the sabers pointed away from him.

SHING! BANG!

The jaw snapped shut. The crocodile's own power and Gravis' resistance made the sabers dig deeply into the crocodile's mouth. One had to remember that Gravis was around 40 meters tall currently, with his equipment perfectly fitting his size. The crocodile was bigger with a length of 500 meters, but a saber with a length of around 20 meters would still hurt it incredibly.

The four sabers pushed through the crocodile's lower and upper jaw until they broke out of the other side. Yet, the power of its bite hadn't been exhausted. Its bite continued pushing down until it hit the shields.

A crocodile's bite was powerful, but it was only able to make use of the muscles in its head and neck. Meanwhile, by standing upright, Gravis was making use of his entire body. Additionally, the bite had been weakened by forcing the sabers into the crocodile's flesh.
