Lightning Is the Only Way

There were seven people currently near that wall, and Gravis recognized all of them.

As soon as he saw them, he was filled with disbelief and excitement.

Nearly everyone was here!

Nearly all the friends Gravis had made during his life were in this room!

They all still remembered him?

They had all remembered where they could find him, and even after such a long time, they had come to greet him when he came home?

"You… you're all here?" Gravis asked with shock.

BANG!

The man in red robes with red hair jumped forward and stopped just before Gravis with excitement.

"Hey, Gravis! Have you seen how powerful I became? Look! Look, I blocked Joyce's attack! Isn't that great? Are you powerful, Gravis? How powerful have you become? How many Laws do you know, Gravis?" he quickly said with excitement, bopping up and down in front of Gravis.

Gravis smiled widely.

"I'm glad you're doing well, Ferris, and yes, I have seen that you've gotten quite powerful," Gravis said.

This was Ferris, the wolf that had accompanied him for a long time in the middle world.

Ferris grinned with excitement as he circled Gravis, inspecting him from all angles.

BANG!

The sound of a collision came from behind Gravis as Mortis caught another one of Joyce's sabers.

CRACK!

Mortis broke the saber in half and grabbed Joyce by the throat.

Gravis took a deep breath through his teeth when he saw that.

Mortis sure was vicious.

"And what makes you think that I will just stand here and take whatever attacks you decide to launch?" he asked coldly, looking into Joyce's eyes.

Joyce only glared back. "You?" she said as she spoke for the first time. Her tone was filled with disdain. "A mere clone? A fake?"

Gravis cringed in discomfort as he heard that.

These words were vicious.

However, Joyce's words unveiled the fact that she already knew about Mortis' existence.

That also explained why she was so angry.

She had probably heard it from Stella.

Yet, Mortis' expression only remained neutral.

He hadn't lied when he had said that he didn't care about what other people thought of him.

These words had no effect on him.

"A fake, huh?" Mortis repeated coldly.

CRACK!

Mortis' grip tightened around Joyce's throat as her neck nearly broke. A human of the same Realm couldn't compete with a beast when it came to physical power.

BANG!
