Lightning Is the Only Way

The explosion was massive, and Gravis was thrown back as all his forward momentum had been stopped by it. The armor on Gravis' chest started melting, burning the scales and muscles touching it.

This was a huge issue since these muscles and scales were essential to protect his organs from blunt force. With their current burned state, if Gravis got hit again, his organs might break through his flesh and skin and shatter on the liquified armor. Regrowing organs took up a lot of Life Energy.

Yet, Gravis had an even bigger issue. Since Gravis' forward momentum had been stopped, the Emperor could now unleash a follow-up attack.

BOOOOM!

The burning claw of the Emperor hit Gravis' back, melting and destroying the armor on it. Additionally, Gravis' spine broke into pieces and also became burned. Splinters of his spine destroyed parts of his organs as he got shot into the distance again.

BRRRR!

Another fireball immediately appeared in front of him, but this time, Gravis was prepared. He immediately used his Law of Suppression and the Composition Law of Fire to weaken the fireball as much as possible. Then, he kicked it.

BOOOM!

The fireball exploded, but Gravis' leg was only minorly injured since it had been weakened this time. The force of the explosion didn't shoot him backward but downwards into the water.

SSSSSSSSSS!

A massive cloud of steam exploded out of the water as the water came into contact with Gravis' hot armor. Additionally, the sudden stop that the fireball had forced on Gravis made his lungs break out of his body.

CRRRR!

Gravis quickly regrew his damaged organs at a different spot, his waist. His waist was relatively uninjured, and it could still give a lot of resistance towards blunt force.

BANG!

The Emperor didn't let up and chased after Gravis, unleashing another explosion onto Gravis' blocking right arm. The bone in Gravis' right arm broke, but his skin had only received minor burns. Yet, the force of the Emperor's attack forced Gravis deeper into the ocean.

BANG!

The Emperor just didn't stop and kept close to Gravis. He immediately unleashed another explosive claw, which had been blocked by Gravis' left arm. The ocean surface far above them boiled violently as the Emperor unleashed incredible heat.

Apparently, the Emperor had stopped trying to kill Gravis with his level two Law. Instead, he was now unleashing one physical attack after the other. This had the advantage that he wouldn't use nearly as much Energy, and that approach had also shown promising results. So, before Gravis could even stop or ready himself again, the Emperor already unleashed his next attack.
