Lightning Is the Only Way

A meteor of destruction charged through the landscape violently as it left behind a wake of destruction. Villages and mountains were destroyed as a long crater appeared along its way.

Gravis was furious!

Someone had directly tried to assassinate him out of nowhere, and they had nearly succeeded. Dying in a fight was one thing but dying to an assassination attempt was something else. Gravis would have had no misgivings if he got killed in a fight, but not like this.

Even worse, the assassination attempt had been incredibly dangerous. The assassin knew so many different Laws that made it difficult to find him. The only reason Gravis had been able to react appropriately was his Law of Safety. Everything else had been useless against this assassin.

Gravis had nearly died!

SHING! SHING! SHING!

The assassin used the Law of Shadow Movement several times in a row, always finding a new hiding spot and fleeing from there.

However, Gravis could follow him. After all, he also knew these Laws, which made it possible for Gravis to follow him. Otherwise, the assassin would have long vanished.

'That guy has really put everything on one card,' Gravis thought with narrowed eyes. 'He could have attacked me earlier, but he waited specifically for the time I tried to comprehend the Law of Shadow's Darkness.'

'In the Law Comprehension Area for Shadow's Darkness, everything is dark, and it's nearly impossible to sense or see anything. This had been the perfect opportunity for an assassination.'

Gravis' eyes shone. 'However, this also meant that I would have already comprehended the other Shadow Laws.'

'If I hadn't comprehended the other Shadow Laws first, I wouldn't even be able to follow him!'

SHING! SHING! SHING!

'Go ahead, use your Shadow Movement more!' Gravis thought. 'The more powerful you are, the more Energy it costs. Meanwhile, I'm just charging in a straight line with the Major Law of Lightning's Speed. You'll run out of Energy first!'

"Gravis!" someone suddenly shouted. "You have destroyed my Law Comprehension Area! Explain!"

Gravis looked over and saw an elder with white hair. According to his fluctuations, he was a Mid Minor Circulation Immortal King. This was probably the Sect Master who had owned the Law Comprehension Area.

Gravis didn't stop as he continued chasing the fluctuations of Shadow Movement. "A late Minor Circulation Immortal King has just tried to assassinate me inside your Law Comprehension Area," Gravis said as he still continued chasing, the Sect Master barely keeping up with him. "It's not me needing to give you an explanation but you needing to give me one. How can someone like that enter your Law Comprehension Area!?"

"What!?" the Sect Master shouted with shock. "A Late Minor Circulation Immortal King? Are you sure!?"

"Yes! I'm chasing him right now! Why do you think I'm flying this fast!?" Gravis said.

"But I can't feel anything!" the Sect Master shouted with uncertainty.

"Shadow Movement and Shadow Subtlety," Gravis answered.

The Sect Master took a deep breath. This was a terrifying combination for an assassin!
