Lightning Is the Only Way

The father looked with rage at the Core Disciple.

Yet, he didn't immediately strike the Core Disciple, even though Gravis had used the Law of Honesty again, which made his claim nearly undoubtable.

'His background is not simple,' Gravis thought with narrowed eyes. 'Otherwise, the Immortal King would have immediately annihilated the Core Disciple. Sure enough, this situation is not so simple.'

"I am-" the Core Disciple tried to say, but the Will-Aura from the Immortal King stopped him from speaking.

"I know who you are," the Immortal King said with rage. "You will not speak another word."

The Core Disciple immediately shut up, but he felt relieved. As long as the Immortal King knew who he was, he wouldn't die unless the Immortal King wanted his entire Sect to be annihilated.

The Immortal King turned to his son and put his finger on his son's head again.

"Ah!" the guard suddenly shouted as he was shocked awake. The guard wasn't able to process his current situation as his Spirit tried to make sense of everything.

Then, the guard touched his body at several places with his hands in disbelief. "I'm alive?" he asked in shock.

"I'm alive!" he said with a sigh after that.

After that, he noticed his father and smiled brightly. "Dad!" he shouted as he jumped into his father's arms.

His father had a loving smile on his face as he stroked his son's head in comfort. "You're safe now. Daddy's here," he said.

"What happened?" the son asked in shock as he jumped out of his father's embrace again. "Where's the Ascen- Oh!" he shouted as he noticed Gravis.

"Thank you so much for saving me!" he shouted at Gravis as he bowed. "Without you, I would be dead!"

Gravis went closer and pulled the guard's head up. "I'm the one that should thank you," Gravis said. "You went forward in the most dangerous moment to offer me an olive branch. You have saved me more than I have saved you."

"But I-"

"Enough!" the Immortal King said with authority, interrupting his son. "Tell me, what happened?" he asked.

The guard's emotional mindset immediately transformed into the mindset of a soldier as he straightened his body. Apparently, his father's strict voice had a massive effect on him.

"Yes!" the guard shouted with conviction. "It all started with the arrival of the Ascender…"
