Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and Siral went back to the Sect Alliance's territory but kept their Laws of Shadow's Subtlety up and running. There was no reason to come into contact with the Sect Alliance again. They were only here for the branch of the Life Sect.

After around an hour, Gravis and Siral arrived near the location of the Life Sect's branch.

Gravis looked at the branch of the Life Sect in front of him and lifted an eyebrow.

"This really isn't as impressive as I had thought," Gravis said.

"Master, this is their residence," Siral answered deferentially.

How did the residency look?

Well, it was basically a village.

There were a ton of mortals roaming around, and it didn't seem any different from any other village. The actual house of the Life Sect's branch was just a two-story house made out of stone.

The only special thing about this house was the crest that was placed above its entrance. It was a picture of a greenish-white flame-raindrop thing. It looked a bit like green fire, but its edges were very rounded like teardrops. Gravis guessed that this crest probably symbolized water and soul. Quite a good symbol for a Sect that was all about life.

Gravis and Siral came out of hiding and landed in the village. However, no mortal seemed to react to them.

Of course, that was due to Siral's and Gravis' Spirits. If they didn't want to be seen by mortals, they wouldn't be seen. Just their desire to not be noticed swayed the weak Spirits of the mortals, forcing them to overlook their existence.

After landing in the village, Gravis and Siral walked over to the Life Sect's branch.

When they arrived in front of its entrance, nothing happened. No one came out to welcome them or shoo them away.

"We can enter," Siral said. Gravis had told him to not call him Master in front of others. If it came out that Gravis had a Life Ring, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Gravis nodded and opened the door.

However, this door was the first thing that was different from mortal standards. The building appeared just like any mortal building, but the door was actually rather heavy.
