Lightning Is the Only Way

Yersi's fight was brutal. From the very beginning, she was out of her league and was suppressed continually. The opponent didn't even take her seriously as they gave her one heavy injury after the other.

Gravis' emotions went haywire as he watched. This was not like the fight between Aris and his first opponent, two levels above him. Back then, Aris still had the ability to somewhat defend against his enemy's attacks. Meanwhile, the only reason why Yersi was still alive was that her enemy didn't take her seriously.

She was driven into a corner and was about to die without even having injured her opponent. Gravis' body started shaking as he tried his absolute best to keep himself out of this. He needed to let nature take its course, but it looked like nature wanted to kill his daughter.

BOOOM!

Suddenly, Yersi unleashed a mighty lightning beam that incinerated her opponent. Gravis saw this and immediately knew what it was. 'The all-out attack that all Divine Beasts have,' Gravis thought.

The enemy was dead, but the all-out attack created another issue now. The enemy's corpse was incinerated, making it impossible to eat. Additionally, Yersi fell to the ground as her Realm dropped to the Mid-Rank of Energy Beasts. She had survived, but now, every enemy was three levels above her.

Gravis felt a lump in his stomach as he realized the situation Yersi was in now. There were no Energy Beasts around. Due to that, she couldn't become a High-Rank Energy Beast again without fighting a Spirit Beast.

If things continued like this, Yersi would undoubtedly die.

Gravis had an idea how he could salvage the situation, but it depended on Yersi's actions now. If she didn't make the right choice, nothing would be able to save her.

After a day of rest and healing, Yersi looked into the middle of area F. By the Energy she was feeling, she could judge the direction. So, she turned in the other direction and left area F. She knew that she needed to recover in an area away from here. She needed to go somewhere to regain her power.

Yersi reached the edge of area F, but the King responsible for area F appeared in front of her and stopped her. She was not allowed to leave.
