Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis charged through the earth towards the southeast. Down here, no human would be able to find him, but that wasn't true for the beasts.

However, having to go through a ton of hardened stone took a lot longer than simply flying. Because of that, Gravis' speed was slower than before.

After around three weeks, Gravis was sure that he was close to the beast territory. He was probably close to the edge. This area would be the most dangerous since the forces of beasts and humans met each other here.

Inside the earth, Gravis saw no difference. Everything felt the same, no matter where he was.

A couple of days later, Gravis thought that he should already be inside the beast territory, but he wouldn't come out unless he saw proof. If he came out too early, an Immortal Emperor would probably directly jump on him and kill him.

An additional day later, Gravis finally saw the thing he was waiting for.

Gravis stopped and narrowed his eyes. Just a kilometer in front of him was something that blocked his way.

"Let me through," Gravis transmitted.

What was blocking Gravis' path?

A gigantic root!

Gravis' Spirit Sense couldn't reach very far so deep in the earth, which made it impossible to see how big that root was, but Gravis was sure that it was humongous.

Gravis felt a powerful sense sweeping over him.

"Password?" it asked.

Gravis scoffed. "Really? We have passwords now? I'm a beast, and I want to go to the Great Forest. Why would I need some password?" Gravis transmitted with annoyance.

The powerful sense swept over Gravis some more. "No human, even if they are of mixed descent, can have such a powerful body. You may pass."

CRRRRR!

And like that, the root shrunk until Gravis could see a path forward.
