Lightning Is the Only Way

BOOOOM!

The arrow hit Gravis' sabers. Luckily, Gravis had been prepared for such an attack, and he had put his sabers in front of his head.

The arrow exploded upon contact with the sabers, but the sheer power behind it still remained. Gravis' six arms shot back, all of them holding against the force.

BANG!

Yet, the side of the sabers still hit Gravis' head, breaking his skull in the process.

Luckily, his Spirit had only taken a shock, and Gravis quickly healed his injuries with the True Law of Life. The Laws for healing had never been inhibited by the Law of Sentience.

However, the Ancestor didn't let up, and he shot another arrow.

BANG!

This time, the arrow decimated Gravis' torso. Gravis had already put his sabers back before his head, and the Ancestor had changed his target.

Gravis' torso nearly instantaneously healed, but it had cost Gravis quite a bit of Life Energy.

BANG!

Another arrow destroyed Gravis' torso again, and Gravis was forced to use more Life Energy.

'He's trying to exhaust my Life Energy. I know the True Law of Life, which allows me to use Energy to heal my body instead of Life Energy, but that will still weaken me,' Gravis thought.

CRRR!

During that time, the tail of the Ancestor slowly began to heal. The Law of Death didn't allow the regrowing of a severed appendage, but the Law of Life granted one full control over one's body. In a way, the Ancestor wasn't regrowing his tail but growing a brand new one.

Of course something like that needed far more Life Energy, and it took more time. Creating something entirely new always took more effort than repairing something.

Regrowing his entire tail would eat up around 15% of the Ancestor's Life Energy, which was a ridiculous amount for only a tail. If the tail hadn't been severed with the Law of Death, it would have been regrown instantaneously, and it would only have used up around 3% of the Ancestor's Life Energy.
