Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!

The edge of a longsword broke off its hilt and dropped to the ground.

Gravis shook his head.

Liran looked with incomparable shock at his son.

Surem currently had half a sword in his hand, its broken edge pointing at Liran.

The saber's blade had broken off when Surem slashed at his father's shoulder with all his power. Surem's eyes were bloodshot, and Gravis was unsure if he had ever seen anyone that had gotten this angry.

The air around Surem turned red as his aura seethed and vibrated.

Surem was so angry that he had comprehended the Law of Rage just now.

Liran's words had made Surem explode. Even in this situation, his father had put all the blame on his Vice Sect Masters!? What could they have done!? The enemy had been comprised of six fucking Immortal Kings! What could they have possibly done!?

"Today," Surem growled through gritted teeth, "I swear upon the Heavens. I will never forgive you! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

CRACK!

Surem stabbed forward again, but his sword broke again. There was an entire Realm between the two of them. No matter what Surem did, he couldn't injure his father.

"You are no longer my father! Your weakness has robbed me of everything I love!" Surem shouted, his voice filled with absolute hatred and wrath.

"When I become strong enough, you will pay!" Surem shouted as he threw the broken sword to the side.

SHING!

Then, he teleported away.

"If you leave now, you will die," Gravis transmitted to Surem calmly. Gravis' Spirit Sense had a far greater range than Surem's, which meant that Surem couldn't leave with just a single teleport.

"Shut up!" Surem shot back. "You have been here, and you have killed the attackers. However, I know that you could also have prevented this! I'm certain that you could have saved many disciples if you so wanted to! You are also not without fault! You were part of the Unrestrained Sect!"

Surem wasn't nearly as angry with Gravis as with his father, but he still blamed Gravis a little bit. Something inside of him told him that Gravis could have done more. However, Gravis hadn't given his best to protect the Sect. Instead, he had used this opportunity to temper himself!

It didn't matter if Gravis was in the right or not. In Surem's mind, Gravis was part of the Unrestrained Sect, and any disciple had to give their all to protect their Sect. Gravis had definitely not given his all, which meant that he was also at fault.

Gravis sighed. Gravis knew that Surem only said these words out of anger. As soon as he calmed down, he would no longer fault Gravis. After all, Gravis had killed all the attackers. This was already more than anyone else had done for the Sect.

'Sadly, Surem will never have the chance to calm down,' Gravis thought.

Why?

Because Surem would probably be dead before the hour was over.

The mission of Underworld had not been a complete success, but Underworld basically destroyed the entire Sect. This meant that the requester of the mission would become active very soon.
