Lightning Is the Only Way

The Metal Ultimate was surprised when he noticed that Gravis paid attention to him first. Didn't Gravis have a lightning affinity? According to reason, he should first take a look at the Lightning Ultimate's display.

The Metal Ultimate didn't know much about Gravis since they were of different camps. Additionally, he hadn't seen Gravis fight anything. The Metal Ultimate had seen the competition between the land Kings, but Gravis hadn't fought in that. Instead, everyone had already accepted that he was the most powerful King.

Then, the Metal Ultimate saw Gravis going through his different kinds of ores and experimenting with them. That was when the Metal Ultimate finally saw the reason for Gravis' power. Gravis had already comprehended a level three Law, the Law of Punishment Lightning!

This situation felt unreal to the Metal Ultimate. A King shouldn't be able to understand such an advanced and powerful Law. Yet, even though the Metal Ultimate was very interested in Gravis now, he decided against contacting him. They were from two different camps, after all.

Gravis continued looking at the ores, and after some hours, the Metal Ultimate got used to Gravis' presence and started ignoring him. The Metal Ultimate needed to use all the available time to comprehend other Laws.

Gravis stayed at the Metal Ultimate's side for 14 years until…

BOOOOM!

'Finally!' Gravis thought with excitement. 'It took me so long, but I finally managed to comprehend the Hard Complex Material Law! Additionally, I didn't even need to temper myself. It just came naturally.'

This was a pleasant surprise for Gravis since he had expected that he needed to temper himself and comprehend this Law inside a battle. Yet, all his understanding just naturally flowed together and created the complete Hard Complex Material Composition Law.

'The list of alloys that father has given me has helped me immensely,' Gravis thought. 'All the diagrams about the makeup of the materials helped me to visualize the movement of the Energy inside the complex materials. Without the list of alloys, I probably would have needed another fifty years or so and might even have needed to go through tempering.'
