Lightning Is the Only Way

This time, Gravis and Stella weren't so lost in their love that they took years to calm down. This time, they had only been in the throes of passion for three days.

After they were done, Stella informed Gravis that she would be checking out the level five Law of Shadow Inferno, the Law that Siral had comprehended by consuming the Law Comprehension Life Fruits. Stella already had used her Law Comprehension Life Fruits, and she couldn't use them anytime soon. Gravis had informed her that she should comprehend five level five Laws the normal way before using the Life Fruits again.

Stella and Gravis embraced each other one last time before they split up. However, this departure was not as bitter as all the previous ones. Gravis had used his Life Ring to build a connection with Stella. She wasn't under the effects of the Life Ring, but the Life Ring would allow Gravis to always contact Stella if he wanted.

After Stella left, Gravis looked towards the west. 'The Body Battle Laws should be one of the most sought-after groups of Laws in the beast territory. I'm pretty certain that they have several Law Comprehension Areas for these Laws.'

Gravis transformed into a beast and moved towards the west below the ground.

However, some minutes later, Gravis got interrupted.

"You going to tell me about that black sun anytime soon?" Mortis asked Gravis.

Gravis stopped as he became confused for a second, but then he remembered the Gate of Death and that he hadn't informed Mortis about it yet.

"You also noticed it?" Gravis asked.

"Of course I noticed it," Mortis answered with a voice bereft of amusement. "After I noticed it, your emotions went haywire, and you moved across the entire world in just an hour. I didn't bother to investigate it since you were obviously already doing so."

Gravis sighed.

Then, Gravis told Mortis about the Gate of Death and its effects.

"Alright," Mortis asked. "Give me 200 more years, and I'll check it out."

"Don't!" Gravis shouted.

This was exactly why he hadn't informed Mortis immediately!
