Lightning Is the Only Way

Before Gravis went to talk to his remaining loved ones, he thought about everyone that had died early on.

There had been so many.

Gorn, the Guild Master of the Lightning Guild in the lower world. He had helped Gravis with everything he had, and he died to Gravis' carelessness.

Aion, the leader of one of the branches of the Heaven Sect in the lower world. Aion had always been a lazy but honest person.

Lazar, the Sect Master of the Lightning Sect in the lower world. He had also been an honest and direct person, and he had supported Gravis back then.

Nero, the unassuming Darkness Cultivator Gravis had met in the Heaven's Trial in the lower world. Nero had been the person that showed Gravis that not all Darkness Cultivators were greedy backstabbers.

Silva, the loyal snake in the middle world. Silva had only wanted to build an amazing Tribe, and he didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves. Sadly, Gravis had pushed him forward, and Silva eventually died to being involved in the race war.

Liam, Stella's brother. In the beginning, Liam and Gravis hadn't seen eye to eye, but that animosity had vanished as more time passed.

Styr, the white and wise ape from the Icy Pride Empire in the middle world. Gravis had feared Styr because of their complex relationship back then, but Styr had shown that all of Gravis' fears didn't matter. Even though Gravis had had the ability to kill Styr, Styr had not gone against Gravis. He had even helped Gravis in tempering his Will-Aura later.

Sary, the Life Ultimate in the middle world. Gravis hadn't been in contact with her a lot, but the short moments they had known each other had been pleasant.

Skye, Gravis' first real friend. They had gone through the Energy Gathering Realm together. Gravis still remembered riding on Skye's back through the middle continent of the lower world.

Yi Lu, Gravis' disciple. Gravis hadn't interacted with Yi Lu very much, but Yi Lu had still supported Gravis with everything he had. Gravis didn't see Yi Lu as his disciple, but Yi Lu saw Gravis as his master.

Siral, the Darkness Cultivator who tried to assassinate Gravis in the higher world. Yet, after repaying his debt by being Gravis' servant for a long time, Siral had become a friend.
