Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis felt incredibly frustrated with his opponent.

As soon as Samantha saw Gravis evading another attack, her rage exploded even more as she nearly lost all rationality.

CRRRRRRRRR!

Yet, before she could attack, Gravis' surroundings suddenly changed. The air around Gravis vibrated as Punishment Lightning crossed the air. Gravis had summoned a humongous Lightning Bomb.

Then, Gravis unleashed his entire Will-Aura, all the suppressive Situational Laws, and unleashed the Law of Heat. After that, he summoned the oppressive force of his Law of the Dead World. His Law of Control was activated in such a way that Samantha felt like control over the situation was slipping out of her grasp. Lastly, Gravis made his saber vibrate with the Major Hard Pure Law.

Samantha stopped the attack she had just wanted to unleash as she felt like the situation had changed. Her rage subsided as she felt like she was thrown into an ice bucket.

Gravis glared deeply into her eyes.

"If you still refuse to show me your real power, I will kill you right now!" Gravis shouted with a voice transmission as he also activated his Law of Honesty.

A feeling of danger washed over Samantha. For the first time, she felt like she could lose her life. For the first time, it felt like an actually dangerous opponent stood before her.

"Don't fuck with me," Gravis transmitted with the utmost severity.

Then, Gravis retrieved all his powers again as he readied himself for battle.

Samantha took a deep breath as her rage subsided.

She couldn't take this opponent lightly anymore.

However, instead of realizing her idiotic conduct, she thought of Gravis as an idiot. Gravis had demonstrated his power instead of using it.

What an idiot.

Many times, arrogance made one blind to introspection. Unhealthy arrogance made it impossible for one to see the error in their own ways. Instead of learning something new and improving her mindset, Samantha only felt like her opponent was an idiot.

However, Gravis' display of power had woken Samantha up. Finally, she realized that she couldn't take this fight lightly anymore.

'It's ridiculous that I had to intimidate her into taking this seriously,' Gravis thought with narrowed eyes. 'This is truly pathetic.'

Instead of slashing, Samantha moved her rapier in a beautiful manner. It was like she was painting something with a graceful brush.

Her movements were finished in less than a second, and as soon as she was done, a cold light shone out of her rapier. The surrounding air froze over as her rapier moved through a frozen wall of air.
