Chapter 175: Aions Power (1/2)

Gravis continued racing towards the Spirit Forming Realm. Only ten more minutes remained until he would reach it. If he managed to get there, he could defeat Aion and any other Heavenborn at the Spirit Forming Realm's initial stage.

As time flew by, Gravis grew more excited, but also more anxious. Heaven had managed to outsmart him so many times. Gravis had learned that Heaven was clever the hard way. He refused to believe that all of Heaven's plans fell flat just because Gravis had changed his route and managed to convince Saron not to attack him. The Heaven he knew wouldn't have only this small weapon for such a big moment.

The minutes ticked by, and just when only five minutes remained…

WHOOOSH!

Gravis' face whitened in anxiety and fear. He knew that Spirit. He had felt that Spirit every day for multiple months.

It was Aion.

Aion was currently coming from the Middle-Continent and running straight for Gravis. Gravis quickly checked his Energy storage and the Energy in his mind. He did some quick calculations and concluded that, if he used all his remaining Energy and pushed it into his mind, he would only reach about 98% of the saturation required to reach the Spirit Forming Realm. 98%! So close!

Gravis gnashed his teeth and jumped into the Wind Wall. He knew exactly how powerful Aion was. Gravis could barely win against Saron inside the Wind Wall. In comparison, Aion had reached the tenth level of Energy Gathering before reaching the Spirit Forming Realm and also had his Heavenly Pressure, which was many times stronger than a normal Will-Aura. Gravis couldn't win this fight. He could only try to survive.

”Gravis, Gravis, Gravis,” said Aion's voice in Gravis' head. ”You have really played us all for a fool. I even gave you a weapon and also helped you temper your body, yet you were never a part of us.”

Gravis used his full power to move inside the Wind Wall. He flew along it in a bit to outspeed Aion.

CRK!

A one-meter long icicle appeared in front of Gravis out of nowhere. Gravis had to use all of his power to react on time. He quickly unsheathed his saber and struck the icicle.

BANG!

Surprisingly, the icicle wasn't destroyed, and instead, it just got knocked into the distance. The wind picked it up, and the icicle violently flew around in the Wind Wall.

”You know, I always was a little skeptical about your 'special' treatment by Heaven,” Aion's voice continued. ”I thought that Heaven wanted to temper you, for some reason, but who knew that you actually came from a higher world?”

CRK BANG!

Another icicle appeared in front of Gravis, and he smashed this one away too. Yet, in the time when the second icicle flew away, the first one made a U-turn and shot at Gravis again. In the nick of time, Gravis managed to deflect it again.

Gravis had no time to think about how Aion found out about him being from a higher world. These icicles were dangerous and were very close to killing him.

CRK BANG!

A third one appeared, and Gravis managed it again to deflect this one. The first and second icicles then came flying back at the same time.

WHOOSH!

Gravis activated his Will-Aura, and the will inside the icicles was disrupted. They barely missed Gravis, which gave him some time to relax.

”Wow, you actually managed to condense a Unity Will in the Magic Gathering Stage. No one has ever achieved that before. You truly are a talent worthy of coming from a higher world,” Aion continued speaking in Gravis' mind.

Gravis was moving with insane speeds inside the Wind Wall, but for some reason, he never left Aion's Spirit. This could only mean that Aion was chasing with just as much speed. Gravis hadn't expected Aion to be this fast.
