Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at the tree with interest and stood up. After dusting himself off, Gravis walked over to that tree.

"I would like to trade for some of your fruits," Gravis said.

The tree scoffed again. "Give it up, boy. You're too weak for me."

"I know that," Gravis said with a smirk. "However, I'm sure that I have several level four Laws you would be interested in."

"What Laws can you know that could interest me?" the tree asked with a disdainful voice.

"What if I tell you that I know over 20 level four Laws?" Gravis said. Of course, Gravis actually knew over 50, but that would be overkill.

"Over 20!?" the tree asked in shock. "Are you lying to me?"

"I'm not," Gravis said with his Law of Honesty. Gravis' Will-Aura was weaker than the tree's Realm, which meant that the tree could see that this was the Law of Honesty.

The tree remained silent for several seconds, just trying to comprehend what Gravis had said.

How was this possible!?

Early Minor Circulation Immortal Kings only knew two level four Laws on average. How could this one know over ten times as much?

After some seconds passed, the tree's senses inspected Gravis closely. It tried to see anything special about him, but he just appeared like any other Black Demon. Nothing was out of place.

"That might change things," the tree said slowly. "I assume you are interested in Law Comprehension and not Realm increase?"

Gravis nodded. "I am interested in Law Comprehension," Gravis said.

"Then we both want the same thing," the tree said. "However, I first need to check if you know the Laws I want. Tell me the Laws you know."

"No," Gravis said directly. "I don't want to unveil my true power to anyone. How about you tell me the category you are most interested in, and I will tell you if I know some Laws from that category?"

The tree felt a bit displeased that Gravis didn't tell it his Laws, but it also understood where Gravis was coming from. Unveiling one's Laws gave the opponent the opportunity to counter them. However, the tree was obviously not interested in Gravis' demise, which made Gravis' actions appear a bit too careful.

"You know the Major Law of the Elements, right? After all, you wouldn't be alive right now if you didn't know it," the tree asked.

Gravis nodded.

"Do you know some Battle Laws for Inferno or Graphite?"

"Yes," Gravis said.

"What do you mean with yes?" the tree asked. "This was an either-or question."
