Lightning Is the Only Way

"That's not necessary," Arc answered.

SHING!

A token appeared in front of Gravis. "As soon as you reach an isolated place in the eastern continent, crush this token. Exar will quickly arrive and talk about the specifics."

Gravis nodded. "Thanks, Arc."

Arc smiled. "Wish you luck."

"Is that a joke?" Gravis asked.

"Yes," Arc said with a slight chuckle.

Gravis rolled his eyes.

Then, Gravis and Stella waited for Liam's return. They wanted to give him enough time to think about his current situation.

In the meantime, Gravis and Stella talked to some beings in the clearing.

Gravis and Stella had to deal with a lot of insinuating comments and jokes made at their expense. After all, making someone embarrassed was always fun.

A couple hours later, Liam returned.

This time, he didn't have a cold expression but a relatively neutral one. However, he still shot Gravis a couple of complex looks.

To Liam, the situation between him and Gravis still felt a bit awkward.

Luckily, Gravis was good in conversations and could reduce the awkwardness to a minimum.

After talking for a bit more, the three of them set off.

SHING!

All three of them broke their emblems as they returned to the hot and uncomfortable underground room that Gravis had dug out.

Gravis quickly put the two of them into his Life Ring and transformed into his beast form.

After that, he passed through Narcissus' barrier and entered the beast territory. Traveling across the river in the human territory would be risky. After all, the Purist Sect controlled that river, and Gravis didn't know how their defenses were set up. It was far easier and safer to go through the beast territory.

After a couple of hours, Gravis reached the barrier to the eastern continent. Gravis dug into the ground again and officially entered the eastern continent.
