Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis only looked at the green monkey with cold eyes. Venting had not helped him at all, and he needed to get to the war as soon as possible to become a level five Lord. Right now, he was very impatient as he waited for the green monkey's answer.

Meanwhile, the green monkey was still stunned by Gravis' performance. This fight had been way too one-sided. Additionally, Gravis was growing and mutating while he spoke, and he didn't even seem to care about his growing power. Normally, beasts that reached the next level were always excited and tried to revel in their newfound power.

The monkey shook his head a little bit to regain his bearings. Then, he looked at Gravis with furrowed brows. "You still haven't fulfilled your duty as a breeder. Joining a war is too risky for you right now," he said.

"Then don't count me as a breeder anymore. I want to temper myself, and if my status is in the way of that, it's nothing more than a hindrance to me," Gravis said coldly.

The monkey was taken aback again. Did this beast just throw away one of the most illustrious positions in existence without thinking?

The monkey wanted to argue more, but he quickly got a message from the Grand Elder, who said that Gravis was allowed to take part in the war. The monkey didn't know Gravis' personality, and the white ape knew that, which was why he had interfered.

Allowing Gravis to temper himself wouldn't be an issue. Gravis would fulfill his duties anyway when he realized that he couldn't become a King like this. They just had to wait.

The monkey nodded a bit towards the Mountain of Pride and then turned to Gravis. "Alright. The next group will leave in two weeks. You can join them," the monkey said.

"That's too long," Gravis answered immediately. Was this a joke? Gravis was barely able to contain his anger and frustration already. He couldn't wait for another two weeks. "Point me towards the direction, and I will go by myself."

The monkey didn't like Gravis' tone at all, but he kept himself in check. "That won't be possible. We need to be careful of spies, which is why we always need to send a powerful escort with the group as proof of their identity. Otherwise, some sea beasts might infiltrate our army," he explained.

"And if I go either way?" Gravis asked with narrowed eyes.

The monkey looked back with narrowed eyes. "Then the surrounding Kingdoms will kill you since they don't know who you are. You might be powerful for your level, but you can't fight a Kingdom yet."
