Lightning Is the Only Way

After nearly four hours, Gravis was finished with his preparations and back in his peak condition. He had used up all the ore that he had found and transformed it all into equipment. Gravis knew that this fight would be different from his fight with Jessy.

Jessy had been a beast with a darkness affinity, which meant that she mainly used evasion, stealth, and hidden attacks as her weapons. Meanwhile, the Inquisitor was a beast with the earth affinity. Gravis' fight with Jessy had been a battle of detection, strategy, and evasion, while this battle would be a direct clash.

Beasts with the earth affinity were one of the slowest ones, and together with Gravis' Law of Suppression, the Inquisitor's speed would be even further lowered. Gravis definitely had the speed advantage in this fight. Normally, such an advantage would guarantee victory for Gravis, but the Inquisitor surely had an incredible defense.

Gravis thought back to his fight with the Golden Dragon and realized that the fight would probably go similarly. Back then, Gravis had had huge issues with trying to injure the Golden Dragon, even with his Lightning Crescent. This time, it wouldn't be any different. Gravis' biggest issue would be to penetrate the Inquisitor's powerful defense.

Right now, Gravis was a bit uncertain deep inside. He had barely won against an average beast three levels higher than him, but the Inquisitor was not an average beast. He was definitely one of the more powerful ones.

Gravis quickly shook his head to regain his bearings. "If I die, so be it. Not everyone reaches the peak. If I pull back from a winnable fight, I might decide to pull back from the next fights as well. If I do that, my path to power might come to an end, and I will remain forever in this world," Gravis said to himself with battle-intent.

"Let's see how this goes."

With that said, Gravis flew in the direction of the Inquisitor. Gravis was as prepared as he could be, and there was no reason to waste any more time.

After a couple of minutes, Gravis entered the range of the Inquisitor's senses, who narrowed his eyes. 'Sure enough, he has kept to his word. Today, you will die, traitor!' the Inquisitor thought coldly.

Instead of flying towards Gravis, the Inquisitor simply waited at his spot. Currently, the Inquisitor stood upon a mighty mountain that hadn't been there before. Obviously, the Inquisitor had prepared that mountain beforehand. Gravis was not the only one who could prepare for an upcoming fight.

After some seconds, Gravis stopped a couple of kilometers in front of the Inquisitor and watched him with a severe gaze. This was no longer a companion but a powerful enemy.

"So you have arrived to- "

BANG!

Gravis shot forward with his full speed and attacked the Inquisitor immediately with his saber, forcing the Inquisitor to abort his speech. There was no reason to waste any time talking. Due to the speed difference, Gravis arrived at the Inquisitor's side so fast that he nearly couldn't react.
