Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had barely seen the attack coming. He had seen how the man slashed forward, but the attack had already arrived as the man finished his slash. The speed of the attack was absolutely insane.

Gravis' arm quickly regrew as he finished his dodge to the side.

"Do you believe Space is weak?" Eran asked. "Do you believe just because Space is the most common Avatar that it is weak?"

"That may be true for new Immortals," Eran said calmly, "but as soon as you comprehend the Battle Laws for Space, everything changes. From a purely auxiliary Law, it transforms into a Law with the greatest offense."

"Separating Space is nothing but a cut, just like a slash with a sword," Eran said. "Distance becomes irrelevant. Defense becomes irrelevant. In front of the true power of Space, everything but absolute power becomes irrelevant."

"Someone that concentrates on all different kinds of Laws won't be able to contend with me," Eran declared.

Gravis had to agree to some degree. He didn't know the Battle Laws for Space, but with Eran's explanation, Gravis managed to glean several things.

The attack had arrived immediately because Space had been compressed between them. It was just like the man stood directly in front of Gravis. A ranged attack had transformed into a melee attack just like that.

Gravis narrowed his eyes and charged forward with his full speed.

BANG!

Lightning exploded behind Gravis as he accelerated his own time as much as possible.

Gravis' speed was insane as he closed in on Eran.

SHING!

However, Gravis' attack missed as Eran moved back a single step, but this single step carried him several kilometers into the distance.

Clink!

Eran lifted his sword to block, and the sound of a parry could be heard. When Gravis heard the parry, his eyes shone. 'He can shrink Space, but that doesn't only count for him. The shrinkage of Space also affects me and the surroundings. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to parry the shockwaves of my attack from such a vast distance.'

"Law of Time, huh?" Eran commented. "Let me accompany you."

SHING!

The time around Eran also accelerated, taking away a huge speed advantage from Gravis. Without his Law of Time, Gravis couldn't even attempt to contend with Eran in speed.

BANG! SHING!

Gravis exploded forward again, but another slash from Eran's sword cut off Gravis' left arm again, exhausting his Life Energy.

Eran stepped backward again.
