Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis readied himself to leave, but he got interrupted by another question from the badger before he could.

"You're from the Icy Pride Empire, right?" the badger asked.

Gravis didn't want to talk right now, but the badger and the mantis have helped him, even if it was in a way that he didn't like. "Yes," Gravis answered.

"Hmm," the badger hummed. "According to your level and Battle-Strength, you're probably a mate to the Icy Pride Empress, correct?"

"My status says I'm a mate, yes," Gravis answered.

"Interesting," the badger answered. "Who knows, maybe we will see each other again." Then, the badger gestured towards the north with his head. "Go to the northern front line, and don't worry. If some sea beast tries to ambush you, I will kill them before they can react."

Gravis nodded and flew towards the north without saying anything. Meanwhile, the badger just rubbed his chin with a smirk. "Meeting one of the Empress' mates is rare indeed. What a nice day," the badger mumbled to himself.

Gravis didn't hear anything of the badger's mumblings as he flew to the north. The distance from here to the other defensive line was probably around 2000 kilometers, but that was nothing he couldn't clear in a couple of minutes.

A minute later, Gravis saw someone else enter into his Spirit Sense's range. It was a level two King, and by the looks of their body, it was a sea beast. Gravis narrowed his eyes and looked at the incoming beast.

CRR!

Suddenly, the earth beneath the King moved with insane speeds, and spikes of hardened earth penetrated the entire beast. The King was dead in less than a second. 'Sure enough, the badger wasn't lying,' Gravis thought.

BRRRR!

Then, the earth beneath the corpse rose and carried the corpse to the south. Gravis hadn't killed that beast, so he had no claim to the corpse.
