Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis appeared in Arc's clearing.

THUNK! SPLAT!

However, Gravis immediately walked against a hard wall.

Gravis' eyes involuntarily closed as he rubbed his nose with teary eyes. Yes, even Immortal Kings weren't immune from tearing up when their nose was punched. It just happened.

'Wait, why is my hand wet?' Gravis thought as he looked at his hand.

Red and brown juice and mush.

Gravis' eyes widened in horror.

He had carried one of his fruits in his hands to ask Arc about them, but he had just been teleported in front of a wall.

His fruit had been smashed!

Gravis' mind was going wild as his Will-Aura involuntarily activated due to stress. Then, he quickly looked around the clearing.

He saw Arc with a smirk on his face and a red-brown fruit in his hands.

Gravis became confused again and looked at the remains of his fruit in his hand.

There was no Life Energy inside them.

Gravis gritted his teeth. "Fuck you, Arc! That's not funny!" he shouted as he pointed at Arc aggressively.

And then, Arc broke down in laughter.

Gravis had just thought that he had lost one of his fruits! He had paid a lot for them, and they had been his gateway to his first level five Law. They were really important to him!

And then, this asshole played a prank on him and switched the fruit, making Gravis think that he had lost one of them!

Gravis only glared at Arc for several seconds, but Arc continued laughing.

"Stop laughing!" Gravis shouted.

That only made Arc laugh harder.

Splash!

Suddenly, Gravis felt a wet hand wiping something onto his clothes. Gravis immediately turned to his left and realized that the wall he had run into wasn't a wall.

A tall, blonde man had wiped off the fruit juice from his robes and had cleaned his dirty hand on Gravis' robes. The man had no expression. It was just like he was mindlessly cleaning his hand.
