Chapter 285: Nickname (1/2)

The people looked at each other with furrowed brows. They had no idea what the intruder was on about. One of them looked back at Gravis with furrowed brows.

”Wha-”

WHOOOM!

And lost consciousness before he could even finish his words. With the power of his fully concentrated Will-Aura, Gravis was now able to make Seed Stage cultivators lose their consciousness.

”Exactly!” Gravis shouted.

Before the fight with the Darkness Sect, he only had been able to stop Seed Stage experts in their tracks when he concentrated his Will-Aura. While being in the Illusion Array, he could have rotated it to not allow any Seed Stage cultivator to get close to him, but he needed to kill some of them to stop more from attacking him.

The eyes of the other people widened in shock.

”Wha-”

And another one fell unconscious.

”Hey, that joke gets old if it's repeated too many times,” Gravis said in seriousness. His dry delivery made the people incredibly confused. Was the intruder annoyed? What did the intruder do? What was happening?

”Oi, bush,” Gravis transmitted to the thorny bush. ”I am going to walk forward now, and you better not touch me.”

Before the bush could answer, Gravis started walking forward, right towards the wall of thorny bush. Unfortunately, the bush didn't retract itself.

BZZZ!

Gravis' body was surrounded by a bit of lightning, and as soon as he touched the wall, his lightning went into it, incinerating the whole cage surrounding him. The lightning traveled along the roots and destroyed a whole third of the bush. Gravis had only released around 5% of his lightning. Any more and the thorny bush would have died.

The thorny bush transmitted a scream of pain, and every root and part of itself moved as far away from Gravis as possible.

”Told you,” Gravis transmitted.

The three remaining people looked with fear at Gravis. This was not how this was supposed to go! The intruder was incredibly powerful, and they were sure that they didn't have the power to stop him.

Meanwhile, Gravis just continued walking forward. When he reached the three people, he stopped for a short moment. ”I have enough power to flatten your whole Clan. If I really wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't need to lie,” Gravis said. Then, Gravis noticed something approaching at quite a fast speed.

BANG!

Gravis' condensed Will-Aura concentrated on the new arrival, sapping him of a lot of his power and slowing him down immensely. Then, he lifted his hands and grabbed the wrist of the attacker, who had just thrown a fist at Gravis. The attacker was an old man with fist-weapons, which encased his hands like some sort of spiky glove with a lot of Formation Arrays.

For some reason, when that attack arrived, Gravis felt an incredible surge of anger raging through him. The anger was so intense that it could only be compared to the anger that he had felt after he had newly created his Destruction Lightning. Yet, with his powerful will, Gravis buried that anger for now. Getting angry now wouldn't help.

The person's eyes widened in shock as he saw that he couldn't even get his attack through. How was that possible!? He was a whole Stage higher than the intruder! He might not have been able to upgrade his body to the Sapling Stage yet, but he was still at the Sapling Stage.

Gravis turned his head to the attacker. ”Did you know,” Gravis started talking, ”the only reason why you are not dead right now is that you didn't unload the natural lightning in your gloves, and that I still owe you for giving me that Formation Array back in the Hunting Guild.”

Gravis recognized the person. It was the person that Joyce had called teacher. The fact that he hadn't been able to upgrade his body to the Sapling Stage yet meant that he hadn't been on that Stage for long.

The older person narrowed his eyes and pulled his hand out of Gravis' grasp. ”Who are you!?” he asked aggressively.

”Like I said,” Gravis answered evenly, ”I am the person you helped in the Hunting Guild near Wilderness Town. You know, the one with the Will-Aura? My name is Gravis.”
