Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was quite surprised when he saw that someone had attacked Arc.

Where had the Opposer dropped them off?

In his own room.

Someone dared to attack Arc in the Opposer's room?

However, most of Gravis' questions were answered when he saw the attacker.

It was a beautiful woman with purple hair tied up in a long ponytail that reached the floor behind her. Her eyes were narrowed as she looked at Arc, but Gravis could see some confusion and shock in them.

Gravis had to take a deep breath as he saw her.

He knew her.

That was Joyce!

Gravis and Joyce had met for the last time when Gravis had been about 24 years old. An unimaginable amount of time had passed since then.

Gravis had promised Joyce back then that if she managed to reach the highest world, they could be together.

However, both of them have changed severely since then.

Ironically, their mindsets had changed places.

Joyce had been a kind soul, but now, she had become as cold and brutal as Mortis.

Meanwhile, Gravis had basically been Mortis in the lower world, but now, he had come to terms with his emotions again, placing happiness on the top of his list of priorities.

As far as Gravis could tell, Joyce had probably thought that it would be Gravis stepping through the portal. She probably wanted to test Gravis' power with a sudden attack.

Sadly, it had been Arc that came through the portal first.

Joyce was in the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm, and Gravis could feel her Battle-Strength.

It was quite impressive.

She could probably jump one level above herself, making her more powerful than most Ascenders in Arc's world. Being more powerful than most of the Ascenders from the most powerful higher world was already pretty impressive.

So, what was Joyce doing here?

Well, Gravis had told her back then that she only needed to search for the Opposer, and she would be able to find him.

His father obviously knew who she was and allowed her to remain here until Gravis returned.

"Hey, Gravis! Look! I've been attacked!" Arc shouted with an excited smile, looking at Gravis. "Isn't that great?"

Gravis had to laugh a bit at Arc's enthusiasm for being the target of an attack. "Yes, Arc. That's great."

Joyce's narrowed eyes went from Arc to Gravis, and Gravis could feel quite some anger and killing intent behind them.

Obviously, Joyce wasn't happy right now.

CRK!

Joyce tried to pull her saber back, but Arc had it firmly in his grasp.
