Lightning Is the Only Way

It was time for the last set of the element-related Battle Laws. After that, Gravis would no longer come into contact with the Sect Alliance.

What were Gravis' plans for Graphite? Defense, right?

No, that was not what Gravis had in mind. Gravis was fighting Cultivators and beasts many levels above himself. Adding some defense wouldn't make much of a difference. When Gravis blocked an attack, he would need to use his saber or an attack of his own. Creating a dedicated defense would only waste Energy.

Back in the middle world, Gravis had used multiple shields for that purpose, and if he had the chance to use them again, he would. Sadly, resources were very scarce in this world. Sure, after looting the belongings of a hundred Sect Masters, Gravis had enough to create armor and some shields, but it hadn't been necessary up to now. He preferred having these resources as a hard currency.

In the middle world, there had nearly been an infinite amount of ores, but here, every single piece of ore already had an owner. If Gravis wanted this ore, he would need to either trade for it or kill the owner.

Because of these reasons, Gravis didn't try to create a set of armor or shields. In the future, when he had an overabundance of money, he would probably build one again, but not right now. Gravis' wealth was just big enough to make him an Early Major Circulation Immortal King. Sure, that sounded powerful, but one had to remember that there was an entire Realm above that, which only became more expensive.

Gravis appeared rich right now, but everything would vanish as soon as he increased his strength.

So, since Gravis didn't intend to use the Graphite Element as a defensive means, what did he intend to do with it?

Well, the first Law Gravis comprehended was Graphite's Law of Gravity. This was an element-related version of gravity. One could compare the dynamic between gravity and Graphite's gravity to the Law of Heat and the Law of Inferno's Heat. It was simply another way to create the same thing.

Gravis' Law of Gravity only had the power of a level three Law, making it useful, but not that useful. However, the Law of Graphite's Gravity was a level four Law, and it would be several times stronger than Gravis' Law of Gravity. Sadly, it cost quite a bit of Energy to use.

The next Law was the Law of Graphite's Mass. This Law had two uses.

One of them was that it increased the power of the Law of Graphite's Gravity, and the other use was that it increased the amount of "earth" one could create with Energy. It was similar to a Law of Efficiency. One could also say that it was the same thing as the Law of Storm's Mass, but for everything earth-related.

The third Law was the Law of Graphite's Efficiency. As the name implied, it simply reduced the Energy cost of everything.
