Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was in a place that he didn't know, but he was pretty sure that he was pretty close to the defensive line. The fire beam had pushed him for a considerable distance, maybe 500 kilometers or something, but such a distance wasn't that far for his speed. Additionally, he felt some distant shockwaves, which proved that the battle was still relatively close to him.

BZZZZ!

Gravis transformed into lightning immediately and charged towards the west. Right now, by killing and eating the crab, Gravis was back in his peak condition, which meant that he could use his Lightning Transformation without any fear of his Realm dropping.

Some seconds passed in which Gravis only traveled to the west.

CRRRRR!

Suddenly, a thick column of earth rose out of the earth and blocked his way. Gravis simply moved around the column and flew further to the west.

CRRR! CRRR! CRRR!

More walls of earth blocked his path, confusing him a little bit. If attackers had summoned those walls, they wouldn't just block his path. After all, the enemy's goal was to kill him, not to stop him from fleeing.

BZZZ!

Gravis tried to move around the walls of earth, but new ones popped up to block his path forward. When Gravis saw that, he realized that the earth element beast blocking him wasn't from the enemy camp. This beast had no idea about Gravis' powers and simply thought that he was some elemental attack.

Gravis transformed back into his body. "I'm not a sea beast!" Gravis shouted.

Some seconds passed in silence.

"Who are you?" a deep voice said as a hog rose from below the earth.

Gravis was a bit surprised since he hadn't noticed that hog at all. It had been hidden perfectly within the earth with not even his Spirit Sense being able to see it. This had to be the workings of a Law!

"I was part of the invading force, and I'm the reason why this whole battle is taking place. The sea beasts want to eliminate me at all cost," Gravis explained.

The hog looked towards the north-east for a bit. "The northern defensive line has become active, but I refuse to believe that it has anything to do with you. You're only a level five Lord. Why would the sea beasts be ready to sacrifice a big part of their defensive line for you?"

He was beginning to get frustrated by this hog. A new ambusher of the sea beasts could arrive at any second, and Gravis might not survive the
