Lightning Is the Only Way

The Inquisitor looked at the crater with all his concentration. He was 90% sure that Gravis was dead, but he couldn't become careless now. His Energy was running very low since he had unleashed so many spires in an effort to kill him. He only had the Energy for a couple more, but that would be it.

After some seconds, space stabilized again, and the Inquisitor could finally see what was going on inside the crater with his senses. He couldn't use his eyes due to all the dust flying in the air. When the Inquisitor looked into the crater, he smirked.

'Finally dead, are you?' the Inquisitor thought. Yet, he still wouldn't become careless.

What did the Inquisitor see?

Inside the crater, the Inquisitor saw Gravis' body, or, at least, what was left of it. Multiple spires had penetrated him at multiple parts. His arms were completely destroyed. One of his legs was destroyed, and 80% of his torso had been transformed into holes.

Gravis was bleeding furiously as parts of destroyed organs were strewn all around him and hanging off the spires. No beast would be able to survive such an attack. Additionally, the Inquisitor was absolutely certain that Gravis hadn't replaced his body with another copy of himself. After all, his body exuded the correct amount of Energy and had an appropriate hardness for his Realm.

Even if that were a powerful copy, it would have had over 80% of his power inside it. Obviously, Gravis couldn't have an infinite amount of Energy, which meant that, if this were a copy, the real Gravis would be even weaker than a level one king. A level one King wouldn't be powerful enough to penetrate the Inquisitor's earth shield.

The Inquisitor smirked victoriously, but he still didn't become careless. "I should make sure," he muttered to himself.

BANG! BANG!

Two spires shot out from below Gravis' head and shot at him, but before they could reach him, something happened.

BZZ! BZZ! BANG!

Gravis' destroyed leg and his arms transformed into lightning and then transformed back again, healing them fully. Without wasting any time, some lightning below Gravis exploded as he charged forward.

The Inquisitor's eyes widened in shock. 'Impossible! No beast can survive such injuries!' he thought.

Even though Gravis' legs and arms were healed, all his organs were still completely destroyed, proven by the fact that they all laid around him in pieces. No beast would be able to survive such an attack!

Gravis charged at the Inquisitor, allowing the Inquisitor to observe the world behind Gravis through the enormous holes. The part where the beast core should have been was replaced by a hole. His heart and lungs lay behind him. Additionally, a ridiculous amount of blood had seeped into the earth. All important organs of Gravis were entirely annihilated! He couldn't be alive!

top of that, Gravis had just healed his arms and legs, so why hadn't he also healed his torso with that technique? The Inquisitor felt like he was
