Chapter 64: Absolute Carnage (1/2)

Black clouds appeared in the sky, and Gravis saw lightning moving from side to side in the clouds. Loud thunder exploded throughout the sky, shaking the earth and instilling deep fear in every living creature, except Gravis.

The Guild Masters blanched and ran as far away from Gravis as possible. This guy was insane! He was provoking Heaven with no concern for any consequences. Everyone could feel that Heaven was absolutely enraged right now.

”You decided to send the spider to me yesterday!” Gravis continued shouting as thunderbolts struck different parts of the basin, turning it upside down. ”You wanted to bet big and send a strong beast!” More lightning struck the earth, and the clouds churned. ”So, pay up!” Gravis shouted with all his might.

Lightning struck the earth one meter in front of Gravis, and its shockwave blasted parts of his clothing off, yet, Gravis continued looking into the sky, fearless. ”Give me what you owe!” he kept shouting aggressively.

The participants and the Guild Masters were in a full-on panic right now. Gravis angered Heaven even more, and if this continued, every living thing in the Basin of Nature might die. More bolts of lightning struck around Gravis, yet none touched him.

”Stop bluffing! You don't dare strike me!” he continued shouting, and the clouds were moving around like violent waves in a storm. Thick clusters of lightning appeared between the clouds, and it felt like the world was about to end.

Suddenly, Gravis looked to his left. He had felt a vibration in the earth like an earthquake was coming. What he saw was an army of demonic beasts charging at his position. They feared Heaven and Heaven commanded the beasts to attack Gravis. Every pretense was lost! Heaven even bent its own rules with this move.

Gravis sneered and sprinted into the middle of the beasts, his burst of speed destroying the surrounding earth. A giant mantis immediately shot its claws forward, and Gravis quickly jumped over that attack. This was only a low-grade demonic beast, and Gravis was way faster.

SHING!

Gravis took the mantis' head and its treasure while he flew over. A wolf jumped at him, and Gravis concentrated his Will-Aura on it. It closed its mouth in fear, but it couldn't stop its jump.

BANG!

Gravis punched the side of its neck, breaking it in the process. Gravis now finally landed, and he put up his saber.

SCRRRRRRR!

An Armadillo had rolled itself into a ball and tried to roll over him. Gravis blocked the attack with the edge of his saber, and the more the armadillo spun, the deeper the saber cut until, finally, the armadillo was in two. The two halves of the armadillo shot past him and hit two other beasts. The armadillo's treasure was destroyed in the process.

Gravis saw a panther running at him, and tried to jump forward.

BOOM!

A lightning bolt hit the place where his foot was and destroyed his foothold. Gravis lost his balance, as he slowly fell forward, multiple more lightning bolts hitting all around him, making it hard for him to see and hear his opponents.

BANG!

The panther hit Gravis in the chest with its claws, and Gravis got blasted away, breaking through two trees until he stopped. He quickly stood up again and noticed that only a slight scratch appeared on his chest. Everything else was fine.

SHIING!

With a turn, Gravis beheaded a tiger, which tried to bite him. With a loud cry, Gravis concentrated his Will-Aura on a scorpion that wanted to stab him, freezing it in the process. With another hit, he split its head.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

The earth tore open into a gigantic ravine, and Gravis fell. The Guild Masters only saw tens of birds shooting after Gravis into the ravine, and loud sounds of fighting could be heard.

Gravis jumped from wall to wall in the ravine, killing one bird after another. They all screeched and tried to claw him, and Gravis couldn't evade all the attacks. His skin broke in multiple places, and some of his muscles tore, yet he continued with a berserker's cry.

RUMBLE!

The sky seemed to darken, as an absolutely gigantic worm fell into the ravine, its gaping maw full of teeth locked on Gravis. This was the first middle-grade demonic beast that joined the fight. Gravis' eyes grew more bloodshot, as he jumped off the wall with all his power, and shot himself right into its maw.

Inside, he stuck his saber into the side of its stomach and started sprinting upwards while cutting through its body. The muscles couldn't constrict due to them being split in two.
