Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was really surprised about the assassin's willingness to hand over his Avatar. While Gravis held the daggers, the assassin had no connection to his Avatar anymore, making him nearly helpless. If Gravis summoned these daggers into his Spirit Space, the Avatar would be overwhelmed by Gravis' Spirit.

This meant that Gravis could destroy the Avatar with a mere thought.

There was absolutely no way to recover from that.

"Why did you hand over your Avatar?" Gravis asked.

"Because I can't win," the assassin said helplessly. "I'm only good at assassinations, not in a direct conflict. All my Laws and powers revolve around assassination. Any Immortal King on my level can easily kill me in a direct confrontation."

Gravis frowned as he scratched his chin. "Then how did your Will-Aura become so powerful?" Gravis asked.

The assassin's Will-Aura was one level above his Realm. How could an assassin train their Will-Aura without fighting someone directly?

"By targeting risky targets," he said. "For tempering, I am targeting Cultivators that can kill me easily when they survive my first strike. This, in itself, is incredibly dangerous. We didn't directly fight, but my life has been in mortal danger all this time."

'That could actually work,' Gravis thought. 'The feeling of danger is the important thing.'

"So, that's why you targeted me?" Gravis asked.

The assassin nodded. "You have so many secrets and know so many Laws. Assassinating you is almost impossible. However, if I managed to succeed, my Will-Aura would become much stronger."

Gravis sighed. "Tempering and Cultivation, huh?" he uttered.

Gravis had thought that the assassin was contracted by someone. It had also been possible that he had been after his secrets and wealth.

However, it was nothing but tempering.

This made Gravis hate the assassin less, but he had still attempted to kill Gravis, and Gravis wouldn't let something like that go.

Several seconds passed in which Gravis was just thinking.

What was there to think about?

Just kill the assassin!

However, Gravis had some plans.

What about the time Gravis went to the Core Regions? Would he just go there without any plan and look around?

No, this wasn't like Gravis. Gravis was a planning person, and he already had a plan, a plan that would give Gravis a ton of resources and plenty of opponents.

"What's your name?" Gravis asked.

"Siral," the assassin said.
