Lightning Is the Only Way

"Show me!" Gravis said with intensity.

Ferris was a bit taken aback. "What?"

"I want to see the living fire!" Gravis said.

"Okay," Ferris said, still feeling uncertain.

Whooom!

A small fireball appeared beside Ferris and hovered in the air. Additionally, the small fireball moved around a bit and circled Ferris in interest. It even flew over to Gravis to inspect him but quickly lost interest.

Gravis' eyes were filled with intensity as he studied the floating fireball. 'This is beyond powerful!' Gravis thought with seriousness. 'The fireball itself is only a bit weaker than my Punishment Lightning, which means that it is already stronger than the spires from the Inquisitor.'

'My Punishment Lightning and this living fire are both level three Laws, and my Punishment Lightning is a bit stronger, but this only means that this living fire has another advantage that should make it equal to my Punishment Lightning.'

As Gravis continued inspecting it, he found out something terrifying.

'I've never seen anything like this. With this, Ferris might even be able to win against me when he's only one or two levels above me. He might be the only beast in this entire world that can honestly kill me with only a one or two-level advantage.'

What did Gravis find out?

It was rather shocking but also logical.

Gravis couldn't delete the will on the living fire with his Will-Aura.

This meant that Ferris was the only beast in this world that could remotely control their attacks after they had been fired. Ferris could obviously summon many of these flames, and these flames would chase Gravis until they got destroyed. This meant that Gravis wouldn't have the ability to dodge or parry these flames. He could only destroy them by blocking or attacking them.

This meant that Gravis would be forced into a head-on clash. Dodging and parrying had always been Gravis' most reliable defensive methods. Yet, if he fought Ferris, he would be forced to block. With a two-level advantage, Gravis was sure that such an intense fire would kill him very quickly.
