"I killed some beasts," Mortis answered.

Gravis narrowed his eyes inside Arc's clearing.

"How many?"

"…A couple," Mortis answered after a pause.

"How many!?" Gravis asked again.

"I don't know. I didn't count," Mortis answered with annoyance. "Like maybe 40 or so."

Gravis furrowed his brows. "And they are probably all Immortal Kings?" Gravis asked.

"Most of them, yes," Mortis answered.

"Why?"

"Because they interrupted my Law Comprehension or didn't allow me to trade for their resources," Mortis answered. "You know that we need to go to multiple different places to comprehend the Soft Pure Law, and most of them just stopped me and said that this was their territory."

"So, I killed them," Mortis said.

Gravis scoffed. "What? Are you the Opposer? Is your solution to everything just killing?"

"What's wrong about that?" Mortis asked in annoyance. "Your father managed to become powerful this way. It's a proven method."

"Yes, but back then, the concept of Karmic Luck either didn't exist, or father had a normal amount of Karmic Luck. Instead, in your case, if you manage to anger even one powerful person, the chances are high that this person would want to kill you," Gravis explained.

"So? Then I just wasn't powerful enough," Mortis said coldly. "If I die, I die."

"You gotta give yourself enough time to become powerful!" Gravis shouted angrily. "You can't expect a rabbit to walk into a crocodile's mouth and then saying that it wasn't powerful enough. No, it wasn't that the rabbit wasn't powerful enough, but that the rabbit wasn't smart enough!"

"Are you calling me stupid?" Mortis asked with a freezing and threatening tone.

"No, but you're acting stupid!" Gravis shouted. "You are part of me, and I know that you are definitely not stupid, but your idiotic pride that says that giving even a small inch means being inferior makes you do stupid things!"
