Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis keeled over and fell on one knee. He was breathing heavily.

'I- I'm back?' he thought.

'Fuck, I didn't know Samsara would pull me into the same visions as my opponent!' he thought with shock and terror. 'Luckily, the Laws of Shadow's Illusion and Deep Wood's Destruction didn't affect me.'

Yes, Gravis had seen everything that the Holy Son Candidate had seen.

However, the impact was not nearly as strong for Gravis as for the Holy Son Candidate.

First of all, Gravis was an onlooker. Watching the life of someone else was like watching a very, very long performance. It didn't have anything to do with him. That made it far easier for Gravis to stay himself.

Second of all, Gravis wasn't affected by the Law of Shadow's Illusion. This made the visions appear far less clear. It was like there was a constant haze over everything. One could liken it to a dream, and it just didn't feel real to Gravis. After all, Perceived Reality wasn't physical reality.

Third of all, Gravis' Spirit wasn't attacked by the Law of Deep Wood's Destruction. This meant that he was not losing his faculties over time. His Spirit still had the power of a Late Major Circulation Immortal Emperor. This allowed him to stay more clearheaded.

'1,324 years,' Gravis thought. 'Just a short 100 years of his life already amounted to 1,324 years of illusions. Without the Law of Deep Wood's Destruction, the visions would have been far longer. I don't know how old he is currently, but if he had made it all the way, we might have seen visions for over a million years.'

THUNK!

The Holy Son Candidate fell over, dead.

Gravis looked over with complex emotions in his eyes. 'Cutter, huh?' he thought. 'Your father was a farmer, but he liked cutting wood as a hobby. He thought that you could learn from him and become a woodcutter. Therefore, he called you Cutter, huh?'

'Your life was truly tragic. You already had issues with bonding with others when you were young, but that was only exacerbated when your family died. You cut off all your emotions since you never wanted to feel pain again, finally becoming who you are today.'

'I might have only seen your first hundred years several times, but it still feels I've known you for a lifetime.'

'It kind of feels like I killed an old acquaintance.'

One couldn't help feeling for someone after seeing them live their life for over a thousand years.

Gravis also felt horrible for Cutter's dead family. He went through the same things as Cutter's family did, and it was horrifying.

Gravis had felt utterly helpless in that situation, but he kept telling himself that this was his attack and that all of this wasn't real.

With Gravis' Will-Aura, he managed to get through everything without any damage. He only felt slightly mentally drained.
