Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis continued to circle the earth shield with his superior speed. Acceleration took way more Energy than stopping or keeping the speed going, which was why he didn't stop. Yet, Gravis was still continually using up some Energy to keep the Law of Lightning Speed going.

He wasn't using it to its full effect, but he needed to use it to uphold his speed advantage. Additionally, he used the pulse to give his body a boost for every step.

Time passed, and fewer and fewer attacks came from the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor saw that Gravis was using a Law to keep his speed going, and he was sure that Gravis would run out of Energy first. After all, there was a difference of three levels between them.

Of course, the Inquisitor didn't know that Gravis was a human, which meant that his Energy storage was way larger than a beast's. Yet, even this advantage couldn't fully close the gap of three levels. The Inquisitor also didn't know that Gravis' pulse wasn't using up nearly as much Energy as one thought.

Yet, according to Gravis' calculations, he would still run out of Energy first if this situation continued. The Inquisitor was only keeping his shield going, which was obviously also a Law, while Gravis had to keep moving at high speed. Gravis was sure that he was using more Energy than the Inquisitor.

'I need to change my approach,' Gravis thought with a cold look in his eyes. 'If this continues, I will be a sitting duck!'

BANG!

Suddenly, Gravis turned and shot directly at the earth shield.

BANG!

A spire shot out of the shield, directly towards Gravis. Luckily, Gravis' Law of Danger didn't disappoint him, and he managed to dodge. Yet, due to that, the distance between him and the earth shield increased again.

CRRRR!

Even though Gravis had to dodge diagonally backward, the Spire was still there, and Gravis immediately cut it off with his saber. Then, he started circling the earth shield again.

'You're growing desperate,' the Inquisitor thought coldly.

Why else would Gravis want to make such a risky maneuver? Did he want to waste the Inquisitor's Energy? He was welcome to try that! There was a gap of three levels between them, and no matter what Gravis did, he wouldn't be able to close the distance with such a major disadvantage.

BANG!

Gravis did the same thing again, and everything repeated itself.

Then, it happened another time.
