Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis couldn't believe it.

Why did that guy explode!?

He didn't want to kill the guy in order to not create a deep enmity, but that guy just killed himself!? Was he so mad about his weapon being stolen that he wanted to pull Gravis down with him!?

SHING! SHING! SHING!

All the guards teleported into the hall, and it became very crowded suddenly. On top of that, their angry eyes bore into Gravis.

"What guts!" a guard in red armor said. "It has been a while since an Ascender dared to kill one of us!"

"I didn't kill shit!" Gravis shouted as he pointed at the smoldering remains of the dead guard. "I only wanted to teach him a lesson, but that guy just exploded! How the fuck is that my fault!?"

"Stop lying!" another guard shouted. "It's common knowledge that one's path is severed when one loses his weapon!"

Gravis blinked a couple of times in surprise. "Really?" he asked.

"You can't talk yourself out of this one, servant," another guard said as he stepped forward with his weapon. "Today, you will die. Servants that don't respect the weapon are worthless."

"I truly didn't know," Gravis said, activating his Law of Honesty.

At once, all the guards became shocked. Their Will-Aura couldn't keep up with Gravis, and they immediately believed him.

One of the guards sighed. "So you truly didn't know," the guard said.

SHING!

The guard pulled his saber and pointed it at Gravis. "Then consider this bad luck," the guard said. "You have killed one of us in the most disrespectful way possible. Not knowing doesn't absolve you of your deeds."

'Of course it wouldn't be this easy,' Gravis thought. 'Even if someone confesses to a crime honestly, they will still get their punishment.'

'I wonder, is this because of my Karmic Luck?' Gravis thought. 'Now that I'm among humans again, I will probably run into more instances of bad luck.'

"So you will kill me, no matter what I say. Is that it?" Gravis asked evenly.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

Nearly all guards took out their weapons. "We would have given you the privilege of serving us, but a servant that does not know how to respect their masters is worthless," one of them said.
