Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was inside a dark room below the Myriad Sect. No light reached this room, but the grass still grew here.

The room was very long, and several small columns were placed inside the room. On top of every column was an emblem, which released a peaceful, white glow.

Every emblem represented one person that had given their life for the Myriad Sect.

Gravis was in front of the biggest column, and he looked with forlorn eyes at the emblem on top of it.

Heart Seeker

Vice-Sect Master of the Myriad Sect

Died in the war with the All-Metal Sect

This was Liam's grave.

Liam had chosen the title Heart Seeker since he felt like this title reflected himself the most. The original meaning behind the title was his wish to reach his sister's power, but after that, it transformed.

In the end, it had been about searching for true love.

Sadly, Liam would never find his heart.

Only silence filled the room as Gravis and Mortis silently looked at Liam's grave. Memories of their past with Liam filled their minds.

The moment Liam had tried to interfere in the fight between Gravis and Stella, even if that meant his death.

The moment Liam had decided to help Gravis to allow Stella to comprehend the Law of Freedom.

The time Liam had worked in the Gravitas in the higher world.

The moment Liam had decided to leave Gravis and Stella to become more powerful.

The time Liam had spent with Stella in the Purist Sect.

Liam's incredible power in the battle between Gravis' friends.

The moment Liam decided to search for his own love.

Liam had rarely been the decision-maker, but he had always been there. He had always supported Stella, and by extension, Gravis.

No one in the Myriad Sect had believed Liam to be unworthy of his position as Vice-Sect Master.

He had been powerful, charismatic, and helpful.
