Lightning Is the Only Way

Blood and body pieces flew through the air as the fire lines passed Gravis' location. Gravis seemingly vanished as his body was blown across the Formation Array. The fire lines passed Gravis' spot and hit the Formation Array, exploding violently.

Stella's brother released a sigh of relief. His sister had won! For a second there, he had worried that Gravis was even more powerful than he had believed. Gravis had been a freak. That was undeniable.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, an explosion of lightning and fire appeared that consumed nearly the entire area of the Formation Array, shocking Stella's brother out of his relief.

What happened!?

BANG!

Suddenly, two bodies shot out of the storm of destruction, one fleeing and one chasing.

Nearly half of Stella's face was burned, and she was missing an entire arm. However, instead of nervousness or fear, her face only showed cold determination and severity.

A half-dead Gravis chased after her with a lightning-filled saber. He had to win now! Stella was too powerful, and he had just barely managed to claim the initiative. If he failed now, he might not get a second chance!

What had happened?

When Stella completely countered Gravis' defense against her attack, Gravis had to unleash his Avatar. Gravis had to be careful what he wanted to show of his power since he was now among humans. Seeing such an Avatar might invite unwanted attention.

However, Gravis would have died if he hadn't used his Avatar.

His Avatar of Freedom allowed him to ignore any kind of suppression, which meant that Gravis could accelerate his personal time. Sadly, the Avatar of Freedom only worked for him and not for external things. This meant that Stella's attack couldn't be slowed.

Due to that, Gravis could only survive by sacrificing nearly his entire body. If he had been able to also slow the attack from Stella, he would have dodged the attack unscathed, but like this, he had only been able to save his head. He had to regrow his entire body in the blink of an eye by spending a ton of Energy to convert it to Life Energy with his Law of Energy Healing. However, even then, he was still injured.
