Chapter 191: Initial Repayment (1/2)
Gravis looked to the horizon. There, he could see a lot of black buildings and lightning striking the ground.
It was the Lightning Guild.
Gravis had never intended to become an enemy of the Lightning Guild, but he couldn't help it. They had attacked him, and he had had to strike back. Yet, he never forgot his debt to Gorn. This whole thing was actually a bizarre situation for him.
He wanted to help the Lightning Guild, yet they wanted to kill him. Though, were they wrong in doing that? Not really. He had killed tens of their disciples, after all. This whole thing could create a whole debate about the rights and wrongs of both parties.
Gravis was already inside the Guild Master's and the Vice-Guild Masters' Spirits. They hadn't talked to him yet, which either meant that they weren't happy about him being there, or they didn't recognize him. 'Well, then let me be the initiating party.'
Inside the Lightning Guild, the Guild Master and the Vice-Guild Masters were talking with each other, trying to guess the identity of the new person. There were a lot of confusing things about Gravis.
”I don't know who that is. I've never seen him before. His cultivation could also, at best, be described as weird,” said one of the Vice-Guild Masters.
The Guild Master was rolling some steel-balls in his hands and creating annoying, cracking noises with them. Luckily, the Vice-Guild Masters were already used to that sound. ”His whole cultivation is so strange,” he said to the others.
The two Vice-Guild Masters nodded. ”Yeah. He obviously has a Spirit, which means he is at the Spirit Forming Realm, yet the Magic I feel from him is like he is at the third level of Magic Gathering,” said one of the Vice-Guild Masters. They could only feel the Energy passively stored inside Gravis' body. His dantian only had lightning, after all.
The other one nodded in affirmation, ”But I also feel an indescribably powerful and vast amount of lightning in his body. I have never seen anything like it,” he said.
”He should be from the Lightning Sect, but I have never met someone like him. I haven't even met someone with a similar cultivation as him,” said the Guild Master. ”I wonder, is he a new Spirit Forming Realm expert? But then what's up with his weird cultivation? On top of that, I also feel like I've seen him before. Though, I can't place my finger on it.”
The other two also nodded. ”Yeah, he does look familiar, but I am not sure who he is.”
”Hello, Guild Master,” Gravis sent to the Guild Master of the Lightning Guild at that time. ”I've come to repay the deaths of the disciples I have killed and to repay the resources that the Proxy-Lightning Guild has granted me.”
The Guild Master forwarded this voice transmission to his two Vice-Guild Masters, and they all looked at each other in confusion. The person had said that he had been in a Proxy-Lightning Guild, which would mean that he had to have been part of their guild, at some point. What confused them even more was him saying that he had killed several of their disciples. No lightning disciple had killed several of their disciples in recent decades. The only time this happened was…
”Gravis!” shouted the Guild Master.
The other two looked at the Guild Master, and then their eyes widened. ”Yeah, he does look like Gravis,” said one of the Vice-Guild Masters. ”What happened to him? His cultivation is so weird, yet I feel immense danger from him. It's like my instincts are telling me not to fight him.”
The Guild Master nodded solemnly. ”I feel the same. Just a couple of months ago, he had been at the fourth level of Magic Gathering, yet now, I feel like I can't even fight him. He is becoming incredibly powerful, incredibly fast.”
