Chapter 99: Very Disadvantageous Fighting Stage (1/2)

Gravis jumped left and right to evade all the fireballs and fire beams. His lightning resistance would be useless in this fight, and if he got hit by any attack from someone in the fourth level of the Energy Gathering Realm, he would receive a grave injury. This fight would be incredibly difficult under normal circumstances.

Gravis smirked. 'But this is not a normal circumstance,' he thought to himself. Gravis quickly went over the edge on the branch. The disciple of the fire guild grew shocked. Had Gravis jumped? Was he suicidal?

BOOM!

A disciple exploded into ash as a lightning bolt hit him, which came from the branch's underside. They quickly looked over the edge, but they couldn't see Gravis anywhere. Where was he?

”You idiots!” shouted Flern in anger. ”He can stick to the underside of the branch with his lightning!” Flern had grown angry when he had seen the confused faces of his disciple brothers. They didn't have much experience in fighting the Lightning Guild, so they also didn't know that lightning could keep someone stuck to the underside of the branch.

BOOM!

Another disciple on the edge of the branch exploded due to lightning. Gravis' lightning might not work as he had expected against the lightning disciples, but it worked just fine against the fire disciples. Even if it didn't work as intended, they still couldn't survive a half-assed blast from Gravis. Just like Gravis had no fire resistance, the fire disciples had no lightning resistance.

They now knew where Gravis was, but could they do something against him? They tried to find a solution but couldn't since they couldn't stick to the branch's underside. The best they could do is use their fire wheels to climb a wall, and even that used up a lot of Energy. What were they supposed to do?

BOOM!

This time, a fifth rank disciple of the Fire Guild exploded. He had tried to shield himself with fire, but that helped only so much. Fire was the weakest element regarding defense. They could theoretically throw their fire at an approaching attack, so both attacks detonate when they hit each other, but those lightning bolts came out of nowhere.

The lightning bolts moved along the surface of the branch, and Gravis stood right under them. The lightning bolt only needed to fly for ten meters to hit them. On top of that, they could only see the approaching lightning bolt when it was only five meters away from them due to the curvature of the branch's side.

If Gravis stood before them at a distance of five meters, they could see him moving and controlling his Energy and anticipate what he would do, but they couldn't even see him. They couldn't react to such an instantaneous attack.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Another three disciples exploded. ”Cowards of the Lightning Guild!” shouted Flern in rage. ”Go below and chase him to the top!”

The Lighting Guild's disciples looked at each other, not sure if they should comply. ”We must kill the betrayer! Everyone, follow me!” shouted the last remaining fifth level disciple of the Lightning Guild. The fifth level disciple took the lead and charged over the edge, and the other disciples clenched their teeth and followed him.
