Lightning Is the Only Way

Eran's mind was in panic.

'I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!' he kept repeating to himself. He could barely form a coherent thought as fear took hold of him.

This was not a human!

This was not a beast!

This was a monster!

That was when he felt the Lightning Crescent closing in on him. He turned around, and his eyes widened in panic as he saw it.

'I'm going to die! I'm going to die!' he kept thinking as he looked at the Lightning Crescent with a stunned expression.

'I need to leave!'

CRK! BANG!

Suddenly, Space exploded around him, but wherever the shockwave passed, Space would calm down. It was like a singular wave in the lake of Space that calmed down everything.

Then, Eran used as much Energy as possible on his Law of Space and Time. If he had been able to make a rational decision, he would have simply stretched Space between him and the Lightning Crescent and would have attacked it from a distance.

Sadly, his mind was filled with panic, and he only wanted to escape.

Space warped around Eran.

BOOOOOOOM!

The Lightning Crescent exploded as all the Space was thrown into chaos again. Everything for hundreds of kilometers was consumed by the explosion, but that didn't matter. The fight had already destroyed everything for thousands of kilometers.

The explosion of Punishment Lightning dissipated, leaving only a small ball of lightning behind. The small ball of lightning shot at Gravis and got absorbed by him.

When Gravis felt the lightning entering his body, his eyes narrowed. 'That's not nearly enough Energy! I barely recovered 10%!'

'Eran's still alive!'

Gravis' mind was going wild. Eran had managed to barely teleport away near the end. If his Law of Space hadn't been pushed to such insane heights, he would have never had enough time to pull of a teleportation.

If Eran escaped now, the entire world would come after him! He had to find a solution!

Gravis also teleported into the direction Eran had vanished to, but his Spirit Sense just couldn't pick him up.

'I need to find him!' Gravis thought with urgency.

SHING!

However, something happened that Gravis hadn't expected.

Eran had appeared in front of Gravis again with a steely and violent gaze in his eyes.

Eran's Spirit Sense stretched far further than Gravis', which meant that as soon as he had escaped from Gravis' Spirit Sense, the Laws of Perceived Reality no longer affected him.

Clarity had immediately returned to his mind, and he realized that Gravis was on his last legs. Gravis had unleashed so much Energy that he had to be out.

However, Eran was also on his last leg. Nearly his entire back had vanished from the explosion of the Lightning Crescent, and if he hadn't managed to teleport away at the last instant, he would have died to it.

His body started healing, but it wasn't as fast as before. He was running low on Life Energy, but he wasn't at the critical junction yet. He could still heal himself fully.
