Chapter 126: Hidden Danger (1/2)
After a while, Gravis lifted his head and looked at the Guild Master. ”His intentions behind what he had done, do not matter. He has risked his life for me and gave me everything that he could. The reasons behind those actions don't change the actions themselves. I will remember him for what he has done, not for what he might have thought.”
The eyes of the Guild Master betrayed a small glimmer of recognition and interest. ”We have talked enough,” said the Guild Master as he walked back to his throne. He sat down and looked at Gravis. ”We now know each other better, and we also understand the other side, but our relationship doesn't change. We need to uphold justice for all our disciples. Nothing will change.”
”But,” he said loudly after sitting down. ”This Jaimy has played a huge part in this tragic situation. This disciple has killed someone of their own guild and that is not how the disciples of my Lightning Guild should behave.” He turned to an elder. ”Search for this Jaimy and bring him here.”
The elder nodded at the Guild Master and left the hall. The Guild Master turned to Gravis and waved his hand in dismissal. ”That is all!”
Gravis nodded as he stood up. ”I will repay all deaths in the future,” said Gravis as he turned around. He reached the closed door and used his lightning to open them. ”I will make the Lightning Sect the overlord of this world.” Gravis stepped through the door. ”Bar none!”
BOOM!
The door closed, but the people inside the hall didn't talk. They thought about the whole enmity and how tragic it was. They could understand Gravis, and they could also understand that it would actually be better for all of them if they didn't try to kill him. Yet, that was only a fantasy. The Lightning Guild had to uphold justice! If they spared Gravis, they would betray all victims and persecuted criminals in the past.
”Our meeting is over,” said the Guild Master after around a minute. ”Vice-Guild Masters remain.”
The elders nodded and bowed slightly as a goodbye. They all left the hall, and only the three people in the Spirit Forming Realm remained. They remained silent for a while until the Guild Master finally spoke. ”What have you noticed about him?”
The first Vice-Guild Master laid his head on his hands in thought. ”He has somehow cultivated lightning with at least 80% Destruction Energy,” he commented. ”Everyone in the hall noticed. There was simply no other way for him to open the door.”
The door of the hall worked according to the density of Destruction Energy in the lightning. The earliest someone could open the door was at the fifth level of Energy Gathering with 40% Destruction Energy. Logically, someone with lightning with a ratio of 30% Destruction Energy or less would need to be in the sixth level of Energy Gathering to open the door.
