Lightning Is the Only Way

Shock.

The onlookers were shocked.

Ryan was shocked.

Everyone had believed that Gravis was only putting on an empty show to get some more advantages from Ryan. After all, if Gravis could paint a picture of being entirely in the right, Ryan would have to pay so much more to save his daughter. This was how leaders often dealt with these situations. The more righteous their cause appeared, the more the enemy would have to give them.

Instead, Gravis had just killed Samantha.

Was he tired of living!?

SHING!

Ryan was so shocked and distracted that he didn't stop Gravis from teleporting. In an instant, Gravis had already arrived at the Formation Array and touched it.

'This has been created with a level four Law, which means I only need my normal Law of Freedom. I don't even need to use the power of my Avatar,' Gravis thought with a smirk.

FWOOOMP!

With that, Gravis simply stepped through the Formation Array like it didn't even exist.

The eyes of the onlookers nearly fell out of their heads as they saw Gravis leaving. This was possible? How was this possible!?

Even more, the onlookers' minds started to race with the new dynamic that now existed. Nothing stood between them and Gravis now, which meant that they couldn't find a reason to not intervene anymore. They could bend the rules, but they couldn't directly break them.

The rules stated that every battle in the Formation Arrays was final, but when someone offered others enough resources, they could look away for a bit.

This was also what had happened when Ryan had heard about Gravis' new opponent. The two other Sect Masters beside him stopped him.

Why?

So that Ryan was required to bribe them. If he didn't pay them enough resources, they would have stopped him. The same was true for the ten other Sect Masters looking on. Ryan promised them some resources so that they might look away this time.
