Lightning Is the Only Way

Not much time passed before Siral appeared in front of Gravis.

"Master," Siral said deferentially with a bow.

Siral's bow reminded Gravis of when he had still been addressed as prince by everyone in Opposer City. They had also all bowed to him like this. However, that was long ago.

"What did you learn in the past 30,000 years?" Gravis asked.

"Master, I comprehended some level three Laws, and several level four Laws are close to being complete. However, I require tempering for the level four Laws. I didn't dare to temper myself without your consent, Master," Siral said.

Gravis nodded. "Understandable," he commented. "From now on, we will travel together for a while. You will have to do some errands for me due to several reasons I don't want to explain right now."

"Your wish is my command, Master," Siral said.

Gravis nodded again. "Have you gathered enough Energy for your breakthrough in the last 30,000 years?" Gravis asked.

"Yes, Master. Immortal Kings require around 40,000 years to passively gather enough Energy from the environment to reach the next level. I have been on my current level for more than 40,000 years," Siral explained.

Passively gather Energy to breakthrough?

Of course it was!
