Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis talked with Lina for quite a long time.

She was often interrupted by something she had to do since the Eternal Fire Sect was currently undergoing a severe paradigm shift.

However, she still talked with Gravis whenever she had time.

Lina had realized that Gravis had gone through a lot of experiences, and she could benefit from them.

She had realized that someone with Gravis' Battle-Strength must have a very special mindset that allowed him to become that powerful in the first place.

By now, she had fully accepted Gravis as an equal, and she even looked at him like he was a bit superior to her.

There was so much she could learn from him.

Of course, Gravis kept all the sensitive things to himself. He hadn't known Lina for very long, and he didn't fully trust her yet.

Eventually, after a couple of years, Lina came to an important topic.

"What's the best way of mending my relationship with Orpheus?" she asked.

Gravis furrowed his brows as he scratched his chin.

"It's difficult and easy at the same time."

"Orpheus is similar to me. If he wants to kill you, he will kill you. If he doesn't want to kill you, he won't kill you."

"You've gone against him quite severely in the past, and I'm pretty sure that he is only waiting for a moment when staying at his current level isn't the optimal choice anymore. At that point, he would probably use you as tempering while somehow dealing with your Ancestor."

Lina took a deep breath.

She had expected something like this, but it was still difficult to hear that someone was out for her life, and she couldn't do anything about it.
