Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!

Gravis' saber and Cindy's arrow hit each other. Cindy's arrow was completely destroyed as Gravis' attack continued.

Cindy barely managed to move to the side in shock as she grabbed another arrow to shoot at Gravis.

Gravis' eyes never left Cindy's eyes, and she felt deep fear as she looked at them.

It was like Gravis was the antithesis to her existence.

Gravis felt… wrong.

It was like he wasn't supposed to exist.

It was like he didn't belong to this world.

BANG!

Mortis suddenly appeared beside her as he kicked the bow slightly to the side. He couldn't use his saber since attacking with it needed a longer windup time. Mortis' goal wasn't to injure Cindy but to interfere with her counterattack.

Out of reflex, Cindy slapped her bow to the side, pushing against Mortis' kick.

CRACK!

Mortis' leg was destroyed by the mere, casual slap, and he was thrown into the distance.

However, he had accomplished his goal.

Gravis was on the offensive again.

All light and Energy around him was sucked into a black abyss as Gravis exploded forward again.

Cindy's True Law of Danger was screaming at her.

She couldn't be hit by that attack!

Cindy tried to activate her Law of Heavenly Light again, but it was still deactivated.

BANG!

Cindy used another arrow to slap Gravis' saber to the side.

Gravis' attack was diverted, but Cindy's arrow had completely vanished, even though she hadn't even hit the edge of Gravis' saber.

It was like her arrow had simply stopped existing.

Cindy quickly moved to the side and took out another arrow.

Then, she nocked it and aimed at Gravis' head.

When Mortis saw that, he fell into a panic.
