Lightning Is the Only Way

The Emperor glared at Gravis while gritting his teeth. He had to end the fight now! He couldn't waste more time here!

BRRRR!

Five more fire-copies appeared around him as he charged at Gravis again.

CRRR! SHING! BANG!

Several bone spikes grew out of Gravis' skin. Then, he broke them off with his Spirit and launched them at the copies, which quickly exploded from a distance. The Emperor grew enraged when he saw this. He couldn't use his fire-copies anymore with this new defensive technique!

BANG!

The Emperor attacked Gravis with his claws, and Gravis used his Spirit to move an arm into his way. The arm immediately exploded since it wasn't powerful enough to resist such an attack without muscles.

BANG!

The attack also broke through the other arm, but when the tail came between them, the attack had been weakened to the degree that it became nearly useless. Gravis was thrown into the distance again as the Emperor continued chasing.

CRRR!

Gravis' limbs regrew, but he narrowed his eyes. 'Regrowing these limbs still takes around 20% of my Life Energy. This is too much! I need muscles!' he thought.

The next attack arrived, but before it could hit Gravis, one of his arms suddenly thickened and blocked the attack. He had finally learned the last Law regarding Body Growth.

Gravis had watched the CMO for a long time, and he had been on the cusp of understanding the Growth Laws regarding the body for quite a while now. This fight allowed him to learn all of them since he needed them to survive.

BANG!

Gravis was thrown back, and the bones in his right forearm broke. Yet, since he had just filled his right forearm with muscles, it didn't get completely destroyed. Gravis could still block another time with this arm before he had to regrow it.

At least, that would have been the case in the past.

CRRR!

Gravis used his new Laws and completely fixed the arm. '5% Life Energy to block one attack. I can deal with that!'

The Emperor grew enraged and nervous as he continued violently assaulting Gravis with everything he had.

Thanks to Gravis' Law of Suppression and his Law of Fire Composition, the attacks never managed to completely destroy his blocking arm in one hit. This allowed him to fix them for a much smaller cost every time.

Gravis fixed his blocking right arm many times between attacks, and several minutes passed. By now, Gravis' usage of Life Energy was just a bit below his regeneration of lightning. As long as nothing unforeseen happened, Gravis could kill the Emperor in the next hour. He only had to survive!

Yet, something unforeseen did happen. Something happened that Gravis would have never expected.
