Lightning Is the Only Way

The Black Demon remained silent for a couple of seconds.

"How much!?" he shouted in outrage.

"You heard me correctly," Gravis answered.

"That's ridiculous!" the Black Demon shouted.

"As I've said, this is not something that you can pay with just your personal wealth," Gravis explained.

"That's still too much!" the Black Demon shouted. "I have no issues with the Law Comprehension Areas, and I could also accept 50 Law Comprehension Fruits, but 50 Law Comprehension LIFE Fruits? We need to essentially sacrifice 50 Major Circulation Immortal Kings for those!"

"So?" Gravis asked. "You are pretty high in the hierarchy amongst beasts, and as soon as I give you my technique, the entirety of the beast territory will know it in no time. You are essentially just sacrificing a level of 50 Major Circulation Immortal Kings for something that can increase the Battle Strength of every beast in existence. You are sacrificing a little short-term gain for an immense long-term gain."

"I can't accept that!" the Black Demon said. However, he didn't appear as angry as before.

"Then leave," Gravis said.

The Black Demon glared at Gravis, and his inherent pressure leaked out.

The cave began shaking, but Gravis only looked at the beast without amusement.

"25," the Black Demon said.

"50," Gravis answered.

"35. We are taking a huge risk. You said yourself that your technique is hard to master," the Black Demon said.

Gravis remained silent for a bit.

"Alright, 40," Gravis said.

Some more seconds of silence.

"Fine!" the Black Demon shouted angrily.

Gravis nodded and grinned behind his helmet. "Deal. I want four Law Comprehension Life Fruits per level five Law. You can choose whichever level five Laws you want."

The Black Demon was not happy at all, and he seethed with anger. If Narcissus hadn't warned him, he would have already killed Gravis.
