Lightning Is the Only Way

Before Gravis knew it, the four hours were up. Gravis' Energy had fully regenerated, and Spear Mountain had also fully regenerated.

Gravis had also gotten some very interesting information about Spear Mountain. The two of them hadn't exchanged a word in these four hours, but Gravis had still been able to see a part of Spear Mountain's power.

What was it that Gravis had noticed?

Spear Mountain's wounds had healed with incredible speed, and as they did, Gravis had felt Law fluctuations. These were the Law Fluctuations of the level four Law of Skin Growth. However, that wasn't everything.

These fluctuations had been far more powerful than they should be. Gravis was confident that Spear Mountain didn't know a level five Law, but these fluctuations were definitely on the power of a level five Law.

This meant that Spear Mountain had the Growth Laws of the Body as his Avatar. This meant that this was Spear Mountains greatest power. Additionally, having these Laws as one's Avatar was a great choice.

As soon as Spear Mountain comprehended the other Growth Laws, he could easily upgrade his Avatar to the level five Law of Body Growth. At that point, as long as he didn't die in one attack, he would be able to regenerate every wound.

However, even now, his regeneration was terrifying. Gravis' most efficient and effective method of healing was the Brilliance Element with the Laws of Brilliance's Healing and Efficiency. Sadly, these two Laws only raised the healing capabilities of his Brilliance to a power of about a level 4.5 Law. It was stronger than a normal level four Law but weaker than a level five Law.

This meant that Gravis was fighting someone with greater regenerative power than himself, which was rare. Gravis had always prided himself in his healing capabilities.

However, this wasn't everything that Gravis had noticed.

Gravis had also felt the Law fluctuations coming from inside Spear Mountain's body. Yet, according to all logic, these Law fluctuations should have originated from Spear Mountain's Avatar.

However, Spear Mountain hadn't summoned his Avatar.

What did this mean?

This meant that Spear Mountain's Avatar was somewhere inside his body, but was that even possible? Gravis had never seen anyone that had their Avatar inside their body. The Avatars had always only been on the outside or in weapons. Was it possible to also put these Avatars inside one's body, or was Spear Mountain simply storing his Avatar in some empty space in his body?

Gravis wasn't sure, but he decided to experiment a bit after the fight. Right now was not the time.

Spear Mountain slowly stood up as he glared at Gravis.

The atmosphere changed from cold desolation to a burning bloodlust.

Gravis readied his weapons.

BANG!

However, it was Spear Mountain that initiated the fight. Tortoises normally fought passively, but Spear Mountain approached this fight very aggressively. The ground below him exploded as his entire body transformed into the Core Element.

Spear Mountain was obviously a beast with a metal affinity, the element that gave someone the greatest boost in close combat power. It severely increased one's defense and attack in close combat.

Just as expected, Spear Mountain's speed was incredible. One had to remember that one of the biggest reasons why Gravis had been so fast in his previous fights was that his body was so powerful. Sadly, that advantage no longer existed when fighting a beast.

Tortoises were slow beasts, but this one most definitely wasn't slow. Gravis would need to use all of his speed-related Laws to become as fast as Spear Mountain's jump forward.
