Lightning Is the Only Way

Everything happened at once.

The guard was being healed.

The Core Disciple attacked.

Gravis attacked.

A new Cultivator appeared, shouting about a dead captain.

A vast explosion of lightning appeared around Gravis as he absorbed just enough lightning to not get noticed while also protecting the guard.

Gravis was among humans again, which meant that he had to keep most of his powers secret. If they knew that he was inside a beast's body, they might decide to kill him directly since they would think that he was a beast.

If they knew that he could remotely control lightning and even absorb it, they might also decide to capture him to learn his secrets. These were very experienced Cultivators that had lived for over a thousand years. They knew what was normal and what wasn't.

The explosion of lightning vanished, and space calmed down again.

Gravis stood at his previous position, still filling the injured guard with Life Energy and Soul.

The Core Disciple had retreated to several kilometers away with some injuries. If the Lightning Crescent had hit him directly, he would have died without a doubt. After all, this was a human, not a beast. His physical defense wasn't even close to a beast's.

The Core Disciple had blocked the attack with some kind of weird slash that split Gravis' lightning apart, forcing it to miss his head and the middle of his torso. Yet, he still received several injuries. The sides of his body were burned beyond recognition, and one could see that the Core Disciple had become narrower. It was like the sides of his body had been shaved off. Luckily, all his organs were still intact.

The Core Disciple glared at Gravis with hatred. This mere Minor Circulation Immortal dared to injure him!? That's it! He had been nice up to now, but that was over! Something as disrespectful as this was unforgivable!
