Chapter 67: Saber (1/2)

Gravis was concentrating on his Will-Aura and never took notice of anything happening over at the tournament. The tournament was held in the middle of the arena, and Gravis sat in a corner. That was a distance of over 500 meters.

”Hey!”

Gravis was trying to compress his Will-Aura. His will had increased again after the massacre of the Basin of Nature, so he wanted to gain further mastery in it. By now, he managed to compress his Will-Aura to a 30-meter cone in front of him. It was no longer affecting all his surroundings, but everything in front of him in a 180° half circle.

”Hey!”

His Will-Aura was now twice as concentrated and also twice as powerful. He judged that his Will-Aura would make a medium-grade demonic beast freeze in fear. He had managed to do that with low-grade demonic beasts in the past, but now he could also do that with medium-grade demonic beasts. He might even be able to surprise a high-grade demonic beast.

”Stop ignoring me!”

This time, the shout came from right beside him, and Gravis got startled and turned to the source. With Gravis' turning, his Will-Aura also shifted, and the Guild Master of Water, who had just shouted at him, received the full brunt.

She blanched and stopped breathing, but only for two seconds. Then, she shook her head and looked at Gravis in fury. ”You asshole!” she shouted as she blasted a concentrated beam of water at him. Gravis almost couldn't react to the beam.

Almost.

He was barely able to lift his saber to block the attack. Luckily, he had used the Void-Stone saber, and it absorbed the water. Gravis looked at her in confusion and anger. ”Why did you attack me?” he said in anger.

”You bitch!” She shouted in rage. ”You killed some beasts, and now you think you can suppress me with your Heavenly Pressure? I'll show you!” She immediately summoned a colossal wave that crashed towards Gravis.

Gravis split the wave in two with his saber. His Void-Saber had its advantages and disadvantages. While he couldn't use it in the Energy Gathering Realm, he could still use it now.

And right now, the Energy absorption qualities of the saber worked against the Guild Master of Water. If he used his other saber, he wouldn't be able to block any of those attacks.

Gravis quickly jumped away. ”What's your problem? I didn't use it on purpose! You just startled me!” shouted Gravis while running to the middle of the arena.

The Guild Master of Water seethed in rage again and angrily watched Gravis leave, yet she didn't chase. Instead, she sighed to calm down. Gravis' Will-Aura was way stronger than last time. Last time, it was only effective on her because she hadn't been prepared.

Even though she also wasn't prepared this time, she still felt the difference. Even if she were prepared, the Will-Aura would still reduce her battle strength. She had been so shocked that her fighting instincts kicked in, and she attacked.

'He is terrifying,' she concluded. Gravis was still in the Body Tempering Realm. What if he broke into the Energy Gathering Realm?

The other participants only looked on in amusement. To them, it looked like the Guild Master of Water was only shooing him away. If she were serious, Gravis would probably be splattered across the arena.

The other Guild Masters knew the truth and looked at Gravis' saber with intense interest. They had realized that it was thanks to this saber that Gravis could block the two attacks. What was this weapon, that it allowed a Body Tempering Realm user to block an attack from someone in the Energy Gathering Realm?

Gravis quickly arrived by the other Guild Masters and looked warily at the Guild Master of Water. Though, that was unnecessary since she had calmed down already.

”Hey, can I take a look at your weapon?” asked the Guild Master of Lightning quietly.
