Chapter 411: Lightning Fork (1/2)

”Oh, yeah,” Gravis muttered to himself as he remembered something. ”That one Lord that I have killed before invading the Sand Tribe said that she was from the Stone Tribe. If I recall correctly, the Leader of that Tribe should be a level four Lord.”

”Oi, Liza,” Gravis transmitted to Liza, who was over a hundred kilometers away. Gravis' Spirit didn't reach that far, but thanks to his Lightning Fork, he could talk to her anyway. ”A level two Lord is standing above our Spire. You want that?” Gravis asked.

Liza was a bit surprised. ”Already? That was fast,” she said and then hummed a bit. ”I would rather see your power than eat them myself,” she said.

Gravis chuckled a bit. ”You don't believe that I can make myself more powerful, eh?” he asked.

Liza only smiled a bit. ”I assume that you didn't lie, but that's quite a bold claim anyway. So, yes, I would rather see it,” she said.

Gravis chuckled a bit. ”Alright, sure. Just stay at the sidelines and watch. It's time I showed the Tribe my technique anyway.”

Meanwhile, Gravis flew out of the Spire until he stood before the giant shark. The giant shark was quite surprised by Gravis. He had never seen a beast looking even remotely like him. On top of that, this beast felt incredibly weak. This was, by far, the weakest body of a Lord the shark had ever seen.

”Hey, I'm Gravis, the Leader of this Tribe. I was also the one that killed your officer. So, I think it's me you're looking for,” Gravis said with a smirk.

The shark only scoffed in disdain.

Whoooosh!

A powerful, concentrated beam of water shot at Gravis with incredible speed. Gravis was flying, which meant that he had already moved all his power into his Spirit. As soon as the beast showed an inkling of attacking, Gravis activated his Will-Aura and shot to the side.

The beam slowed down due to Gravis' Will-Aura, and Gravis was quickly pushed to the side by his Spirit. Humans could fly faster than beasts since they didn't have to move such a ridiculous amount of weight with their flying technique. Therefore, it wasn't hard for Gravis to evade such an attack.

SHIIIING!

A hole was created that penetrated the whole Spire. The water beam had been quite powerful. Probably no one but Liza could evade such an attack. On top of that, this attack had only been a casual one.

The shark was shocked. Not only did this weak beast successfully evade his attack, but it also exuded some kind of pressure that made the shark move slower. The shark estimated that it could only use around 80% of his speed now.

”Oh, you want to get right to the action, eh?” Gravis asked with a smirk. ”Sure, I can come to terms with that. But first, why did it take you so long to get here? I killed your officer like nearly two and a half weeks ago.”

The shark regained his calm and looked at Gravis with interest now. ”Our Tribe isn't close. It takes me about a week of travel to get here, quite a waste of time, in my opinion. That's also why I don't want to hear any bullshit from you. Is this pressure the reason why you can keep so many Lords under your rule?” he asked.

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. ”Not entirely. It's just one of my weapons,” Gravis said and then smiled at the shark, ”but thank you for giving us a timeframe for when your colleagues arrive.”

The shark only looked at Gravis with boredom. ”Are you insinuating that you are able to kill me? Don't joke around like that. The only Lords that can jump an entire level are Divine Beasts, and you're not one of them.”

”Divine Beasts? What's that?” Gravis asked. He hadn't heard about this concept yet.

The shark only huffed arrogantly. ”Stop wasting time. No one will save you,” the shark said and then readied himself to charge at Gravis. ”Just accept your death.”

BANG!

A powerful explosion could be heard as the shark shot at Gravis. This was not a casual attack anymore. As soon as Gravis would evade, the shark could change his trajectory and follow after him. With his faster speed, he would only need to chase Gravis to kill him.

Gravis saw that and sighed. 'Man, I really can't temper myself like this. Even if my Lightning Fork weakens me, I still don't feel any pressure. That's probably because my life isn't actually in danger and that I can deactivate my Lightning Fork whenever I want. Well, time to give the Tribe a show.'

Gravis flew upwards, and the shark followed after him. In less than a second, the shark would be able to swallow Gravis, even if he flew at his full speed.

WHOOOOM! WHOOOM!

Two other pressures appeared and pressed into the shark, shocking the shark to no end. They felt identical to the first one and were just as intense. Yet, they appeared from each of his sides. Shouldn't they come from his opponent?

The shark quickly noticed where these two pressures came from and stopped in shock. What did he just see?

Gravis was in front of him, but there was also another Gravis to his right. On top of that, a third one was to his left. They all looked and felt identical. What the fuck was going on?

The watchers looked with shock at the sky. Why were there three of their Leader? Where did these other two come from? Shira only looked at the Gravises with narrowed eyes. 'I knew that something was up,' she thought.

Silva was impressed by what he was seeing, while Morn showed an incredible interest in what was happening. Even with his incredible amount of experience, he had no idea what was happening. Orthar only watched calmly.

Meanwhile, Liza finally understood what Gravis meant when he had said that his power was only a third of his peak. She also grew a bit bitter as she realized that she had been helplessly suppressed by only one of these Gravises.
