Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis told Yersi about the well-being of Aris and Cera, and Yersi also couldn't help releasing a sigh of relief. This was the first time they had been split up for such a long timeframe, which was why she had been rather nervous.

Gravis hadn't been as nervous, but there was always a certain degree of uncertainty when it concerned someone very dear to him. Even if the chances of death were only 1%, one would still feel nervous about a loved one.

Yet, even if the most important people to Gravis were still alive, he wouldn't forget the dead ones. A lot of Gravis' friends had died over the years. Skye's parent, Lasar, Aion, Gorn, and Nero, were good examples. Gravis would still remember them.

But now was not the time to be sentimental! After talking with Yersi for a bit, Gravis re-rented the Virtualization Array for the Law of Inferno. The clerk had already expected something like this and quickly finished the trade with Gravis.

After he received his Virtualization Array again, Gravis immediately went back to comprehending the Law of Inferno.

Fortunately, he managed to understand it this time.

It took him another 80 years for a total of 180 years, but he managed to comprehend the Law.

Gravis looked at the Inferno raging around him and activated his Will-Aura.

SSSSHHHH!

And the violent fire turned into Energy, which filled the room.

BRRRR!

But the Inferno quickly returned as the Virtualization Array created more flames. Yet, that wasn't important anymore. Gravis retrieved the Virtualization Array and left his room.

'Sadly, without the overarching elemental Law, I can't use the Law of Inferno yet. I can only destroy it, not summon it. This means that my offense has not increased, but my defense has increased under certain circumstances,' Gravis thought.

'If a dangerous opponent uses this element, I should be able to weaken it to the power of a level two Law, which is something I can deal with, and if they use it as their Avatar, I can weaken it to the power of a level three Law. That would still be very dangerous, but that would also be my opponent's most powerful weapon in that case. Like this, it would be like my opponent didn't even have an Avatar.'

'Yet, this took me 180 years. Sadly, I have to pay the full price of the second 100 years, even if I don't need it anymore. Originally, I had a total of around 125 million Immortal Stones, but with Orthar's disappearance, that sum reached around 200 million. This should be enough money to comprehend all the Elemental Laws.'
